The days of being a fake son for President Xiao

Forget about yourself, he will come to pick you up.He will be good to himself.As if hypnotizing himself to believe in Xiao Zheng, Xiaofan felt a bit of bitterness in his heart.

The sky was gray in the distance, and thick fog surrounded the valley.

He thought of what Grandpa Lin often said - our Xiaofan will definitely be admitted to university, get out of the mountains, and become a leader.Grandpa is waiting to see our Xiaofan come back in good condition, and give those people in Linjia Village who look down on our Xiaofan a resounding slap in the face.

Lin Xiaofan took a deep breath, the scene of Grandpa Lin holding his hand in front of the bed before he left was still vivid in his memory, he let out a breath slowly, the negativity in his heart disappeared, and he felt his strength return to in the body.

"Grandpa, I will never disappoint you. This is our common wish." Xiaofan said seriously and firmly.

A gust of night wind blows in, and the grass and bushes in the distance make rustling sounds, like an invisible affirmation.

Lin Xiaofan returned to campus again.

The weather in June is getting hotter and hotter, Xiaofan has no time to immerse himself in sadness, the senior high school entrance examination is just around the corner, he packs up his mood and prepares for the final sprint.

Lin Xiaofan ranked first in several mock exams. With this trend, it is almost a certainty to be admitted to a key high school.But Lin Xiaofan still didn't dare to take it lightly, and carefully prepared for the final stage of study.

On the day of the exam, Lin Xiaofan put the four-leaf clover watch that had been hidden in the safe on his wrist. Apart from checking the time for the exam, Lin Xiaofan hoped that it would bring him more luck.

After the last exam was over, Lin Xiaofan was relieved.He feels good and has the confidence to be admitted to a key high school.On the way back by bike, the watch reflected the dazzling light in the sunset light. He looked at the exquisite watch, and his mood jumped up.

But his joyful mood dissipated when he came home and saw the house was full of mess. His heart suddenly rose, and he hurried to Grandpa Lin's bedroom—the room where the safe was placed.

The square safe stood there intact, but the door of the safe was wide open, and the tuition fees that Grandpa Lin had left for him had disappeared.Lin Xiaofan was so flustered that his whole body was shaking.

It's the father!

He thought of the answer reflexively.He turned around and ran out quickly. It was the hard-earned money left by Grandpa Lin's hard work for most of his life, and his father could not spoil it arbitrarily.

Xiaofan stepped on the bicycle, pedaled and flew towards the stronghold outside the village where his father often went.He knew very well in his heart that his father had stolen grandpa's money. If he hadn't brought the watch with him because of the need for the exam, the watch that Xiao Zheng left for him would not be spared either.There are traces of his father doing such a thing. After Grandpa Lin left, his father made more than one insinuation to find out how much inheritance Grandpa Lin had left for him.My father has made no secret of his covetous heart for the money left by Grandpa Lin. At that time, I thought that Grandpa Lin's safe was extremely strong. Without a key, even if my father wanted to smash the box, he would not be able to smash it. At that time, he even learned how to pick locks, Xiaofan was very annoyed by his rival in love, and the half-life savings left by Grandpa Lin were wasted because of his own carelessness.Now he is only thinking about finding his father, getting back the stolen money, and making up for it in the end.

When he came to the chess and card room where his father often went, Lin Xiaofan didn't care to put on the bike stand, left the bike aside, and ran in with big strides.

The room was overcrowded as usual, Xiaofan looked around anxiously, but did not find his father.

He saw a familiar uncle, grabbed his arm and asked, "Uncle, have you seen my dad?"

The middle-aged man is full of cards and just wants to drive away this disturbing little guy, he quickly glanced at Xiaofan, and quickly said: "Xiaofan, I heard that your father made a fortune today, come here this morning Here he exchanged the money owed grandly, sat for a while and left, and asked him where he made his fortune without telling him, Xiaofan, do you know where your father's money came from?"

Xiaofan didn't answer the middle-aged man's question, only nodded his thanks to him, then turned around and rushed out the door.

He helped up the fallen car, stepped on the car with long legs, and turned to the next location.

Twilight fell, and the night gradually enveloped the entire town.

A food stall not far from the chess and card room is booming.This is where my father often hangs around drinking.Xiaofan came to pick up the experience of his father coming home after being drunk a few times, and he was already familiar with the boss here.

Xiaofan turned around but didn't find his father, turned to the back kitchen, and asked the boss who was busy cooking: "Uncle, did my father come here for a drink today?"

When the boss saw that it was the well-behaved and sensible child, he immediately smiled like a flower, and said cheerfully: "It's Xiaofan, your father came here for lunch and drinks, and he was so drunk. I also asked him if he wanted you to come Picking him up, he waved his hand and said that you are taking the high school entrance examination today, so don't let me disturb you. Why didn't he go home?"

Xiaofan frowned delicately and shook his head.

"Maybe he went to drink and have fun somewhere else, Xiaofan, don't worry, maybe he's back home now. Uncle will make some side dishes for you to celebrate the end of the exam. Go out and find an empty seat, Go home with a full meal first. Then you will find that your father is already sound asleep at home."

"Uncle, I have urgent business with my father right now, so I won't eat the meal. Thank you uncle." Lin Xiaofan thanked quickly, and ran out again in a hurry after speaking.

He went to several other shops that his father frequented, and they all sold out without exception.

Lin Xiaofan was momentarily bewildered, he thought that the food stall owner said that his father might have gone home by himself.Holding his last hope, he drove home by bicycle.

When he was about to get home, Lin Xiaofan saw that his house and Grandpa Lin's furniture were in a mess, and his heart sank.But he still had this little bit of luck left. He returned home and turned on the lights lightly. After making sure that all the rooms were empty, Lin Xiaofan's tight strings suddenly broke. He leaned against the wall and slowly slipped to the ground. , put his arms around his knees, and buried his head in the crook of his arms.When he was sad and lonely in the past, he often hugged himself like this to absorb warmth.But even if he tightened his arms today, his whole body was still bone-chillingly cold.

He clenched his fists so hard that his fingertips turned white.He felt sorry for Grandpa Lin, for not protecting the last property left to him by Grandpa Lin, and being ruined by his alcoholic and gambling father.He sat on the ground groggy and blamed himself for an unknown period of time. When he looked up, the moonlight happened to pour into the room. He looked at the melting moonlight, and his mood gradually calmed down.

No amount of regret and self-blame will help. He thinks of his common wish with Grandpa Lin. Now his father has cut off the funds for going to school, but Lin Xiaofan has hands and feet. He can use summer vacation and spare time to work part-time to earn tuition fees. .Grandpa's money is gone, and he can't live up to his grandpa's wish.

As for his father, Lin Xiaofan has given up any hope. He intends to search again tomorrow to see how much Grandpa Lin's money can be returned.After that, he plans to go to the town to work to prepare for high school tuition.

After making up his mind, Lin Xiaofan washed himself carelessly and climbed onto the bed.Even though it was about to enter midsummer, he was cold all over. He groped on the bedside for a while, facing the moonlight leaking in from the window, quietly watching his watch for a while, and he couldn't help but think of Xiao Zheng. When he was sad and helpless, he would imagine how Xiao Zheng would comfort him if he was there. He described the scene over and over again in his mind, and then he seemed to be greatly comforted, and his mood would relax a lot.

In the early morning of the next day, Xiaofan was awakened by an earth-shattering knock on the door.He thought it was the drunk father, but when he opened the door, it was the serious village chief.

"Xiaofan, something happened to your father, come with me."

Xiaofan's heart twitched, he didn't have time to change his shoes, so he ran with the village chief in his slippers.

A family in the village had contracted a small fish pond. Lin Xiaofan recognized the village chief pulling him towards the pond, and a trace of doubt flashed in his heart.

"Xiaofan, your father came home last night drunk, fell into the bed of Uncle Lin's house and didn't climb ashore in time. No one heard his cry for help in the middle of the night, and it was too late when Uncle Lin found out in the morning, you Dad has been dead for a long time." The village chief explained to him while running.

The pond has been completely surrounded, the village chief pushed aside the crowd and shouted loudly: "Let's all go, Xiaofan is here, let Xiaofan see his father."

The villagers consciously dispersed to both sides, and the father who was covered by the black crowd suddenly jumped into Xiaofan's eyes.There was a wooden board on the muddy ground by the pond, and his father lay motionless on the wooden board. Lin Xiaofan stared at this face that was soaked in cold water, and thought of the days of fear and fear, the pain he inflicted on him, and his own His life was almost ruined by him twice, and those humiliating, painful, and unbearable memories swept back like a tide.At this moment, he didn't even know what mood he should use to face everything that happened in front of him.

He didn't cry loudly, nor was he overjoyed, he was just very calm, calmly taking care of his father's funeral.Eat and sleep peacefully.

Just when he thought he would go to the town to work in peace, an unexpected visitor came to the house.

It's midsummer now, and the weather is hot. City A is already known as the "stove" city.There was a thunderstorm just now, and the sky was blue and clear as if it had been washed by rain.The refreshing coolness brought by the heavy rain lasted only for a moment, and the wet road was soon transpired by a new round of scorching sun.

"Hello, please walk slowly, looking forward to your next visit." Lin Xiaofan gently pushed away
