"Sister-in-law Yan Rong? Why are you here?" Mother looked at Aunt Yan in amazement, because there were very few people in the family who came to the door, and I could see the anxiety on my mother's face.

"I'm here to thank Miaozi. Thanks to him, my family Yan Rong is safe and sound!" Aunt Yan actually smiled at me this time. In my impression, Yan people have never been so friendly.

"Miao, come in and move a stool for Mrs. Yan Rong!" Mother put down her needlework and turned to look at me.

After I went back to the main room and moved a stool, my mother told me to go back to the room. I have always been very obedient to my mother’s words, so I went back to the room. I didn’t hear their conversation outside at all. I will be sad because I went to work for the village head.

I lay on the bed and stared at the tiles on the roof in a daze. About an hour later, my mother opened the door of my room and walked in. I sat up, "Mom, Aunt Yan is gone?"

"Let's go!" The mother's face was very heavy, and she could see that she was unhappy. "It's a good thing to help others. Next time you help others, you have to take care of your own safety." She took out 8 yuan from her pocket and put it on my desk." This is what the village chief asked Mrs. Yan Rong to bring to you." After putting down the money, mother turned and left the room.

I didn't speak any more, I kept staring at the eight yuan on the table in a daze in the room.

My mother didn't talk to me for two days in a row, she was so cold that it made me uncomfortable. She only recovered a little smile on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Although it didn't snow in Guangdong, it was drizzling. Surrounded by the stove to warm up, the weather has been like this for several days in a row, and I have basically never gone out. This year has been very depressed, and I don't have the slightest sense of celebration.

After the new year, the first thing I did was to reply to Yan Jiasheng's letter, but it wasn't the first letter I wrote to him. I didn't have the courage to send that first letter.

I gave seven yuan to my mother for the eight yuan I earned from working for the village head. The second semester of the third year of junior high school was the sprint stage of the senior high school entrance examination. I passed the exam a little more than I just passed because of my mother. I don't want her to be sad and tired, so she has always thought that I am not suitable for studying.

This semester, uncharacteristically, I put all my thoughts on my studies, because at that time our main examination subjects were only Chinese, Mathematics, and English, and the full score was only 298 points. I graduated with a high score of 8 in the high school entrance examination. Bar!I could choose to study in any high school in Guangdong at that time, and this score was [-] points higher than Yan Jiasheng's test at that time.

According to common sense, the parents of that family would be very happy if the child got good grades, but my mother was an exception. She didn’t smile at all when I came back with the grade form. I know why she is, because of my tuition fees, I am very happy I am also sad, of course I am happy to be with Yan Jiasheng again, because it is my fault that my selfishness made my mother work so hard. My mother's hope is nothing more than that after I get married, I will carry on the family and live an ordinary life.

In the end, I enrolled in the school that Yan Jiasheng was in. My mother borrowed money from all over the world and raised 80 yuan for my tuition. On the day I left Yanjiaping, my mother killed a chicken early in the morning and cooked it. A breakfast that was more luxurious than the New Year’s meal, she told me to eat by myself first but ran to the kitchen. I didn’t pay attention to her at first, and after I kept eating, I realized that my mother hadn’t come out in the kitchen. It made me feel a little strange. When I stood At the door of the kitchen, my mother covered her mouth and was crying. This time, I can’t be sure why she was crying. Maybe it’s because I’m going out to study, maybe it’s because she’s sad that she doesn’t have the ability to raise me well, or it’s because she never The father who never showed up.

I didn't stop her, went back to the room and packed my luggage, but my mother still didn't come out in the kitchen, I checked the time was almost "Mom, I have to go" I stood at the kitchen door and looked in.

"Hmm...be careful on the road, it's better outside than at home..." Mother was speechless before she finished speaking. She kept her back to me, probably because she was afraid that I would see her tears.

"Understood! Mom, you should pay more attention to your body when you are alone at home." It was a bit sad to leave home and mother for the first time, but I didn't cry, turned around and went out

I carried a large linen backpack and set foot on the car to Guangzhou.

Looking forward to the meeting with Yan Jiasheng in the car, I was so emotional all the way, because I had a letter with Yan Jiasheng that I would come to Guangzhou today, and he would come to pick me up, completely immersed in this joy, the mother at home was completely Forgotten by me.

When the car arrived at Guangzhou Station, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. I was so excited that I almost didn't cry out.There were a lot of people, but as soon as I got out of the gate, I saw Yan Jiasheng waiting outside the gate.I haven't seen him in a year. He has short hair. He is wearing a short-sleeved beige shirt, a pair of gray-blue jeans, and a pair of canvas shoes. He looks very trendy. He is still handsome, but his face is full One thing - glasses.

When I approached, he also saw me with a hemp cloth backpack on my back, which was very different from the meeting scene I had imagined, because he was accompanied by a boy who was about my age, and I was carrying a boy with the same age as me. A backpack as wide as my upper body "Miao...here!" he yelled.

I walked up to him, "Brother Sheng!"

"You're here at last! Hey... this is my classmate and my best friend, Chen Xinhua" he happily introduced me by pulling the boy's arm. The moment he pulled that Chen Xinhua's arm, I was stung by something. , maybe I'm too sensitive.

"He is the brother I often talk to you about, Min Miao." He put his hands on my shoulders with a very affectionate look, which comforted me a little, after all, he is closer to me than Chen Xinhua.

Out of politeness, I extended my hand first, "Hello!"

Chen Xinhua looked me up and down, just nodded and didn't shake hands with me. He felt that he was not friendly to me like the people of the Yan clan. I quickly withdrew my hand. Yan Jiasheng must have felt it in his eyes. .

"Let's go! Go back to school first!" Yan Jiasheng said and led me out of the station. Everything in Guangzhou is very new and curious to me. There are large highways extending in all directions, high overpasses, There are colorful neon lights and lively snack streets. I didn’t go to see them all. I just walked behind Yan Jiasheng and Chen Xinhua with a big backpack on my back, because walking side by side with my outfit would embarrass them both. Wearing that patched I have some low self-esteem in my trousers and a pair of Jiefang shoes.

Walking...Yan Jiasheng suddenly turned around, "Miao! Is it heavy? Let me help you carry it!" After speaking, he stretched out his hand to help me carry the heavy backpack.

"I can do it!" I flinched, this big backpack is not suitable for him at all, but it is very suitable for a bumpkin like me.

"Let him recite it by himself, don't stain your clothes!" Chen Xinhua grabbed Yan Jiasheng's arm. Whether his words were unintentional or intentional, they made me sad. It is true that I am poor, and Chen Xinhua despises me. No wonder, I couldn't help cursing Chen Xinhua, a snob.

Yan Jiasheng shook off Chen Xinhua's hand, quickly untied the big backpack from me and put it on his back. I was so moved that I couldn't speak, and Chen Xinhua was so angry that his eyes stared straight.
