The control group dressed as the heroine

"Little sister!" Zhou Xiaonian opened the door and walked in after finishing the call.He looked at Xiao Ai who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, and subconsciously explained: "Little sister, in fact, I just—"

"It's okay, I know what you want to say, don't say it, I understand everything."

Zhou Xiaoai knew that compared to him, she was actually a little calm and scary.His reaction should be the real reaction of a child to his parents. When he hates it, he hates it so much that he wants to run away immediately.But wait for the other party to say a good word or two afterwards, and everything can disappear.But he could do this, but Zhou Xiaoai didn't want to.

"The logistics have started to leave in the past two days, and you have to start to be busy. Don't talk about it, brother. Let's rest early today." It will be a matter of time before Longcheng knows about him.Before that, she just wanted him to earn more and be stronger.In this way, he can live a better life in the days to come. As for the other Zhou Xiaoai, he doesn't want to say more.Because there are some things, if he doesn’t want to understand it himself, if he doesn’t experience it himself, others can’t persuade him, and he can’t persuade him.

"Okay then, I won't talk anymore." Zhou Xiaonian knew that she had contacted her parents suddenly, and had said so many words to them all of a sudden, she might be angry.But he really couldn't stop contacting them completely, so he could only sigh in his heart and stop bringing up this topic.

"Little sister, good night, go to bed early today too." Knowing that she has the habit of video chatting with people at night, Zhou Xiaonian reminded her subconsciously before she went out.

"Okay, got it bro." Zhou Xiaoai responded with a mobile phone, and then quickly left the small room.

When she was going out, her cell phone rang.Looking at Guo Ying's photo on the phone screen, Zhou Xiaoai thought for a while and reached out to press it.

"Honey, we'll talk tomorrow, I'm a little tired today." Sitting on her little bed, Zhou Xiaoai sent a message to Guo Ying.

"Where did you go today? Did you walk a lot, are you tired?" Guo Ying knew that she had been running around to play recently, so she couldn't help asking.

"No."

"Then why are you tired? The temperature in the ice city seems to have been bad all the time. You must have caught a cold, right?"

"No."

……

Xiao Ai's mood was not high, no matter what Guo Ying asked her, she always looked absent-minded.Guo Ying wanted to say a few more words, but in the end she couldn't continue.

"Baby, what's wrong with you, why are you so depressed?"

The grandmother in the living room saw that she had been staying on the balcony the whole time, so she came over with a worried expression on her face.

"Grandma is fine. I just called a friend, so I've been here for a long time. Where's my mother?"

Guo Ying hurriedly supported her grandmother and let her sit on the wicker chair beside her.

"Whispering with your cousin in the second bedroom." Grandma glanced inside and responded immediately.

Just listening to this, Guo Ying knew what the two people were talking about: "She started complaining again."

"Yeah, I'm complaining again. Complaining about your two brothers, complaining about your father, complaining about your brother's relatives. Anyway, she comes every year, saying the same thing, and complaining about the same thing." "

The grandma sighed, and Guo Ying was silent. After a long time, she said: "Leave her alone, she is just complaining. She is already in her early forties. The current situation has changed since she married her father at a young age. , she should have expected it. When she got married, her eldest brother was the same age as her. With her appearance like this, does she really think that her eldest brother will really call her mom? "

"Hey!" Grandma continued to sigh, and after a long time, she reached out and gently touched Guo Ying's recently grown hair: "It's hard for you to stay in that kind of home since you were a child, we won't talk about it anymore .By the way, are you doing well at the new school and getting used to the weather there?"

Guo Ying laughed, she nodded to her grandmother, and then said seriously: "Okay, very good, I like it there, the happiest thing in my life is going there."

Grandma also laughed. She gently stroked her granddaughter's hair, and there was a little more smile in her eyes: "It's okay, college is really a good time. Whether you are playing around all day long, or You worked hard every day to live up to your time. Anyway, no matter how you spent those four years, after those four years, you will miss that time and feel that those days were particularly good."

"..." Guo Ying continued to smile and nodded, expressing her agreement.

Seeing her rare happy expression, grandma was really relieved.

In the evening, Guo's mother went to the hotel as usual. She has been pampered by Guo's family all these years, and the accommodation she used is the best. Naturally, she is not used to living in a small old house.In the early years, Luo Kang and his wife scolded her, thinking she was hypocritical.But after so many years, they no longer forced her.Every time she comes home, whether she stays or stays, they let her go.

After Guo's mother left, Guo Ying slept in the second bedroom of her grandmother's house as usual.Sleeping alone in the small room, as the time got later and later, Guo Ying became less and less sleepy.

Lying on this big bed that she was familiar with but unfamiliar, she couldn't help thinking of the scene when she hugged Xiao Ai and told stories the night before parting.

"Xiao Ai, do you know that I am now on the big bed where my grandma told me stories at that time. Xiao Ai, do you know that I really miss you, really miss you, really miss you, really miss you!" She held up her mobile phone, Type one word at a time.But thinking of Xiao Ai's reaction just now, and thinking about the scene that the two of them have been busy recently since the Chinese New Year.After thinking about it, Guo Ying still didn't send the words.I still stretched out my hand word by word, and deleted the words I just typed up one by one.

On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Mother Guo, who has lived in her hometown for three days, plans to take her daughter back to Xiangjiang.Xiao Ai and Xiao Nian in Bingshi began to deal with the latest order in their hands.Start posting on Moments, telling everyone that they have started work.As for the Zhou family in Dragon City, it was only from this day that they began to officially rest.Some time ago, during the Chinese New Year, many vendors closed their stalls and went home to celebrate the New Year.But Zhou's father and Zhou's mother, like in previous years, stayed at the stall from morning to night every day.It is hoped that when everyone is resting, they will open a stall and earn a little more money.

The two of them were as busy as usual, and after the first day of the Lunar New Year, they began to rest slowly.On the seventh day of the seventh day, the two sold for a while in the afternoon, and the same was true on the eighth day of the eighth day. Today, on the ninth day of the ninth day, the two officially took a rest.

"Taking advantage of these two days of rest, hurry up and transfer your relatives over there. Didn't your son give you money? You can buy more things when you go there."

While eating breakfast, because I reconciled with my son yesterday, because I received 3000 yuan from my son.Zhou Dashan was rarely in a good mood, so he took the initiative to bring up the matter of asking Yang Xiaohui to return to her mother's year for New Year's greetings.

"Really, tell me what I'm going to buy in the past. Do I need to give my mother some money and stuff three hundred?" Because seeing him in a good mood, because I received a red envelope from my son yesterday.So Yang Xiaohui also became happy, and rarely became bold.

"Fart you!" Hearing that the fortress had so much money, Zhou Dashan subconsciously yelled, and cursed all of a sudden.

Because of his words, Yang Xiaohui's face also changed, and she began to look at him motionless.

Ever since his son and daughter left, and since his wife had a red hair perm, Zhou Dashan felt that his wife's courage suddenly became bigger.Seeing her staring at him motionless, Zhou Dashan felt uncomfortable.He became a little angry from embarrassment, looking at his wife who was always making faces to him recently.Zhou Dashan reached out his hand, picked up his wife's mobile phone without thinking, and opened it.

"Zhou Dashan, stop it, my son gave it to me!!" As soon as he picked up his mobile phone, Yang Xiaohui realized what he was going to do, and immediately reached out to grab it.

"Shit, if you don't have me, you will have a son. The son said yesterday that the money is for the two of us, not for you alone. For you, you are thinking of your blind old lady. You like this Well, even if I have a mountain of gold and silver, I can't keep it."

"Whenever you have gold and silver, Zhou Dashan must have a conscience. I can earn hundreds of dollars a day from setting up a stall. Why do you even rob me of this little money!"

"I robbed it from there. I was afraid that if you had money, you would use it to help others, so I will keep it first. I will give you your mobile phone. I will leave you three hundred. One hundred to buy things, and two hundred to honor your eyes." Going blind old lady. How about it, I am generous enough!"

The two scrambled back and forth in the small house, and soon the phone returned to Yang Xiaohui's hands.Squeezing the phone and looking at her husband who put on his clothes and went out triumphantly, and looked down at the only three hundred balance in her hand, Yang Xiaohui felt sad all of a sudden.

Since she got married, her husband gave her two hundred every year when she went home, one hundred for shopping, and one hundred for her to honor her mother.

In the early years, Yang Xiaohui didn't think about it because the prices were low at that time.At that time, she went out to eat a bowl of noodles for only 100 yuan.But now, the prices in Dragon City are getting higher and higher.What can you do with 100 yuan now? Outside, a bowl of the cheapest noodles costs [-] yuan, and now a catty of green peppers costs [-] yuan.Under such circumstances, how dare she take [-] yuan to see her mother who is often sick and takes medicine.

Yang Xiaohui, who hadn't cried for a long time, lay on the dinner table and cried, thinking of the hundreds of dollars she handled every day, and thinking of her husband who went home to count the money with her every day.Thinking about what her daughter said some time ago that she worked hard every day, but gave all the money she earned to others, Yang Xiaohui became more and more aggrieved the more she thought about it.

She whimpered, feeling uncomfortable.After crying for a long time, Yang Xiaohui still got up and packed up immediately.Now that it is Chinese New Year, relatives and neighbors know their situation every year, so they all come to pay New Year's greetings in the last few days.So she has to tidy up the house and tidy up herself.

She was washing the dishes quickly in the kitchen, waiting for the dishes to finish.She wiped the table again, tidied up the bed and sofa, and finally she took the mop and carefully mopped the floor.

The whole house was tidied up quickly, since her daughter left, she has not touched the furnishings of the house.So the wind chimes and potted plants in the house are still there.Looking at these things, Yang Xiaohui will feel that her daughter and son are still around, and her life is still as relaxed and happy as it was in August.

She was deceiving herself in her heart, and after cleaning up everything, she started to clean up herself in the mirror.

She dug out a Nizi coat she bought a few years ago, put it on carefully, and then took a comb and started to arrange her hair.

Her hair, which has been permed for half a year, is not as good as before, but Yang Xiaohui still takes care of it seriously.Holding the pomade she bought from the small shop behind, she carefully sprayed it on her hair.After discovering that there were two extra white hairs beside her ears, she also carefully pulled them out.

After suddenly seeing herself in the mirror and noticing that her eyebrows were completely out of shape, Yang Xiaohui, who loves beauty, suddenly became anxious.Without thinking too much, she picked up her phone and called her daughter.

"mom"

"Xiao Ai, Mom's eyebrows have grown again. It was the eyebrows that we trimmed when we went to have hair, and now it has become the same again. Mom is going to see your grandma today, so I want to tidy up better. Xiao Ai, you Is there something for shaving eyebrows, Mom wants to use it."

Zhou's mother was anxious on the phone. Zhou Xiaoai didn't expect Zhou's mother, who hadn't contacted her for a long time, to call her now for this matter.She was a little impatient, and immediately replied: "No, I have never used this thing before, and we should not have this at home."

"Then what should I do?" Zhou's mother was a little panicked.

"You go outside to buy an eyebrow razor, it may cost ten yuan and twenty yuan. If you find it troublesome, you can go directly to the barber shop outside to shave it. This thing is usually five yuan and ten yuan." Zhou Xiaoai said Knowing why she was nervous about this, she suggested subconsciously.

"It's so expensive, is there any other way for Xiao Ai? I, I, I—"

It was only five or ten yuan, but she suddenly became fussy about it.Zhou Xiaoai felt a headache in her head. She tried her best to control her temper, and then whispered softly: "Mom, go outside and shave it, it only costs ten yuan. Didn't my brother call you three thousand yesterday? You went and swiped your phone directly. For these two days, you should go to grandma's house. This time, in addition to giving money to grandma, you also gave one or two hundred to aunt. Grandma can't see now. It's really not easy for her to take care of the old and the young by herself. You Praise your aunt more in front of people, and then give your aunt a red envelope, so that people will be happy. If you feel embarrassed by her, you can give this red envelope to your cousin. In this way, your aunt can also feel your heart, so uncle Will be happier too."

Zhou Xiaoai carefully suggested on the phone, but before she finished speaking, Zhou's mother suddenly burst into tears: "Xiaoai, mom doesn't have enough money, so your dad gave you three hundred, and I want to give you two hundred." Grandma, there is one hundred left, I will buy some yogurt, weigh some fruit and take a car ride, and it will be gone, Xiao Ai, I don’t have enough money.”

"..." Zhou Xiaoai didn't know what to say, although she had already guessed that after the money was in her hands, there shouldn't be much left.But Zhou Xiaoai really didn't expect that it would be gone now, and he really didn't expect that he would leave her 300 yuan.

"I'll give it to you." Feeling a little uncomfortable, Zhou Xiaoai could only say this after she realized it.

"Where did you get the money"

"Didn't I tell you that I'm making money! Mom, don't cry, I'll transfer the money, you can buy more things as I said, and then take out the money and give more to grandma and aunt. If you go there once or twice, you will only be paid once a year, so it really can’t be too little.”

"Xiao Ai, how do you know that your brother gave me money?"

"I received a call from him yesterday, and my brother told me."

Xiao Ai comforted her mother, after comforting her mother.She pressed the phone, kept two hundred for herself, and then transferred all the remaining more than 1000.

There were not many orders in the past two days, so Brother Zhou went to deliver the goods by himself.After Zhou Xiaoai transferred the money, she didn't tell him.

She wanted to make more money as soon as possible before school started.She thought that her brother would definitely be called home by Zhou's father and Zhou's mother in the end, so she also wanted to take the opportunity to make him earn more.

But before Zhou Xiaoai was ready, Brother Zhou suddenly received a call from Zhou's mother.After putting down the phone, he immediately started packing his luggage.

"What happened?" Zhou Xiaoai, who had just transferred the money two days ago, was startled when she saw his actions, and immediately asked.

"Xiao Ai, when Dad was gambling, he had an argument with someone and was beaten. He is in the hospital now and can't even move. You have to start school, so naturally you can't go back. But now Mom is panicking, so I have to Don't go back right away."

Brother Zhou, who hastily stuffed clothes into his bag, responded quickly. Zhou Xiaoai took a deep breath, and then went immediately: "Take all your thick clothes, and take all the things you often use."

"No, I'll be back soon."

"Take it, you didn't have much luggage when you came here. Even if you take everything down now, there won't be much."

"Can--"

"Take it, these clothes are newly bought. If you don't wear them now, you won't be able to wear them when the weather gets hot after a while."

The two bought some more clothes during the Chinese New Year. Zhou Xiaoai opened the closet and picked out all his clothes.

Zhou Xiaonian stuffed it into the bag like a machine. After a long time, he suddenly looked at Xiaoai and asked directly, "You think I won't come back when I'm gone?"

"At least, I won't be back in a short time." Zhou Xiaoai also looked at him and answered truthfully.

Zhou Xiaonian was silent. After a long time, he removed the Bingshi SIM card from his phone, and put it directly in Xiaoai's palm.

"You take this. Our account is registered with this. If I don't come here for a while, the rest will be handed over to you first."

Zhou Xiaoai didn't expect him to hand this over, pinching the phone card in his hand, Zhou Xiaoai finally said: "Brother, after you pass by, please be careful. Don't tell them how much money you have, don't give them all the money , I also save some for urgent use. And if you can't stay there any longer, you can come to me at any time, you know how to find me. If you come over then, I will give this to you again. "

"En!" Zhou Xiaonian nodded, and then left in a hurry with simple luggage.

Zhou Xiaoai sent him out of the community and looked at Brother Zhou who got in a taxi and left immediately.Zhou Xiaoai felt like she was dreaming.

Zhou Xiaonian came suddenly, and now he is leaving suddenly.Slowly walking back to the 6th floor, looking at the empty room, Zhou Xiaoai let out a long sigh, and lay heavily on her little bed.

The phone rang suddenly at this moment, and Zhou Xiaoai looked up.Finding out that it was Brother Zhou who had just left, he told her to be careful when she slept at night, and then transferred another 1000 yuan to her.

"Well, I see!" Zhou Xiaoai typed and replied lying on her stomach, and then took the money.

There was no response, so Xiao Ai, who was lying on the bed, continued to lower her head.

The phone rang again at this time, and Xiao Ai raised his head again.She thought it was Brother Zhou who sent another message, but when she looked up at the screen, she was completely stunned.

"Baby Zhou, where do you live? When I come back, I'm at the gate of the school now. It's where you sold apples last time. If you have time, can you come out for a while? Can you accompany me to find a hotel? Wait for me to live Come on, can we have a meal and sit down together?"
