Ruan Mu made a piece of instant noodles for lunch, which was even worse than Zhu Qinghe's. He didn't want to see that shameless Zhu Qingliang lying on the kang tossing and turning for a long time before closing his eyes and squinting for a nap.

I don't know when I fell asleep. When I woke up, the sun had already set, I stretched my waist, my stomach was hungry, I poured a glass of water to deal with it, and went out staggeringly.

The brick kiln factory was still busy, he squatted under the big tree, and occasionally glanced in, but he could see Zhu Qinghe, still looking unhurried, ashamed and distressed.After finally waiting for Zhu Qinghe to finish his work, his stomach began to sing "Empty City Strategies" again.

Zhu Qinghe slapped the dust off his body while walking outside, saw Ruan Mu, and asked suspiciously, "What are you doing here?"

Ruan Mu glanced at him and walked forward: "I didn't go back to your house, and I don't want to see Zhu Qingliang. I have noodles and potatoes at my house, which are just for cooking, and I will go back later. I don't believe that Zhu Qingliang can be hungry all day."

And Zhu Qingliang was indeed waiting obediently, leaning against the Chinese toon tree in the yard, thirsty and hungry, only hoping that Zhu Qinghe would come back soon, who knew that he hadn't seen anyone until dark, he was really patient. I couldn't help being hungry, turned around and went home.

Zhu's mother was about to go to bed when she suddenly saw a figure walking towards her house weakly. She squinted her eyes for a while before she recognized Qingliang. She hurried up and saw her baby son's face was pale and his lips were chapped. She worriedly dragged her son into the house: "What's the matter? Why are you back again?"

Zhu Yutian came out of the back room holding a cigarette, and seeing his son in such distress, he frowned, Zhu Qingliang cried with a mournful face, "He didn't even let me in, I think he'll come back at night, it's so late I haven’t seen anyone yet, I’m thirsty and hungry, so I’m back.”

Distressed, Zhu Ma hurriedly set up the pot to add water, and took out the leftover noodles for steamed buns tomorrow, while scolding Zhu Qinghe: "That kid has been away from us for a few days, and he can't hold it anymore. Fortunately, he is still a big brother." Yes, I don’t know how to make it clearer.”

Zhu Yutian took a few puffs of his cigarette, and saw that one cigarette soon turned into ashes. After a long time, he uttered: "It seems that it is really unreliable, this bastard, he wants to live a good life by himself? No."

Zhu Qingliang didn't bother to listen to what they said, the noodles came out of the pot, poured some vegetable juice into it, and then pulled the salt and vinegar into his mouth, because it was too hot, he was wheezing after eating, and Zhu's mother, who was so anxious, kept chanting : "Eat slowly, don't burn yourself."

Zhu Qinghe and Ruan Mu didn't see anyone when they got home, they washed up and went to bed.

Two days before the start of school, Luo Wangwang called Zhu Qinghe and his son to his eyes and said, "Qinghe, you are the first one in our village who can endure hardship at such a young age. Uncle likes your spirit of not falling behind, but It is still important to go to school, take a good rest tomorrow, and then go to school in good spirits. You don't have to worry about the salary, I will give you another fifty on top of the original basis, and I will be an uncle to thank you for doing a good job to Luo Yong A role model, he will need you to help uncle take care of him in the future."

Seeing that Zhu Qinghe was going to refuse, he quickly said: "Don't say no, you are the most reliable person around Uncle now, do you think this money was given to you for free? I still need to find you in the future, so accept it."

Zhu Qinghe took it over, still put the [-] denomination on the table, pursed his lips and said: "Why did you give me this, uncle, there are so many people staring outside, and a lot of bad words have been made these days. If uncle thinks Qinghe's work is okay, so let me work again when I'm free?"

After so long, Luo Wangwang also knew his temper, took back the money, and said, "Okay, Uncle, the same sentence, if you have anything to do, just come to Uncle. Uncle will be your support from now on."

Zhu Qinghe's lonely heart abandoned by his family was filled with a warm current, his eyes were slightly sour, and he nodded solemnly: "I see."

Luo Wangwang then looked at his son, and saw that he had become so diligent from the beginning, he was very comforted in his heart. Sure enough, he still needs to be surrounded by his peers to influence the child to grow up well. Those who are red are close to ink and those who are black are black. With such a promising kid like Qinghe, his own son is no different.He handed him the 20 yuan that was placed next to him, and told him: "In the future, you should be as conscious as you have been in the past few days, learn more from Qinghe, and don't think about how to harm Lao Tzu's little money all day long."

Luo Yong took it over with a smile, and said in a confident voice: "Thank you Dad, I will definitely learn from Brother Qinghe in the future."

The things for the start of school were packed early in the morning. Zhu Qinghe didn't wake up until noon for the first time. After washing and eating, he went to the mountain. Some wild fruits on the mountain were already ripe. He picked a lot, and gave some of them to the good friends. , The leftovers were eaten as snacks, and he went to the shop to buy some sugar, filled them in bottles and made canned food.

I went to school early the next morning. Many children from the village in the class knew each other's details, and they spontaneously stayed away from Zhu Qinghe. Only the beautifully dressed Ruan Mu stood beside Zhu Qinghe to attract the attention of female students.Zhu Qinghe's looks are not bad at all. He asked a tailor to measure the size and said that he needed to wear it urgently, but he was still left behind.

Ruan Mu answered the question given by Mr. Wang with full marks and successfully skipped a grade. He sat at the same table with Zhu Qinghe as he wished, and paid the textbook fee. There was no teacher in the classroom, and they all chatted endlessly. In that small pool, a few sparrows lowered their heads and took a sip of water, and then combed their feathers with their mouths. The water rippled in circles and then quickly returned to calm.

Zhu Qinghe's mind wandered to other things, now he should start to measure the wheat seeds, as soon as the beans are harvested, he will have to plow the land to plant wheat in a few days.Although studying is very important, what he can't let go of is actually making money. He can only go to the brick kiln to make some money on Saturdays and Sundays.

What he didn't expect was that his plan was ruined on the first Saturday after school started. There was no other reason. It is expected to hire underage child laborers. The leaders of the county and township rushed up and squatted down.

Zhu Qinghe immediately said to Luo Wangwang: "Uncle, don't worry, I know you are also embarrassed, you don't need to take this matter to heart. This person may be targeting you, but there may be reasons for me. "

In fact, whoever sued you can be guessed without even thinking about it, but this matter cannot be said on the bright side, Luo Wangwang only cursed: "This person is immoral, if you don't have enough money, Uncle will give you."

Zhu Qinghe agreed with a smile, but how could he really do this?He thought it over, since this is the case, it's better to go to the county town, the bigger the place, the more opportunities, those black-hearted people who want to cut off his way of life, can they still stretch their hands here?

He quickly made up his mind, took out ten yuan from the place where he hid money when he got home, and took a car to the county seat tomorrow, and spent a whole day looking for work.

He originally planned to leave early in the morning, but he didn't expect Ruan Mu to come when he was going out. Seeing that he was going out, he insisted on following him. , There are many people in the county, and there are bad guys who are watching you for a robbery, tied up for money, you should go home, and I will talk about things when I come back."

The corners of Ruan Mu's mouth twitched, he just heard that someone came to comfort this person with a complaint, but who knew that this person actually treated him like a fool, immediately lost his temper, and followed without saying a word .

Zhu Qinghe had nothing to do with him, so he had to take a car at the head of the village and went into the city together.There was a thick layer of soil on the bumpy road, and when the wheels passed by, a lot of dust was rolled up, and all the people in the car were ashamed.Ruan Mu has never experienced it, and his face is full of disgust, but he doesn't have to worry about being missed, the sun is sweating profusely, mixed with dust, no matter how beautiful a child is, even if he wipes it with his hands, his face will still be disfigured.

When they arrived at the county seat, the two were both thirsty and hungry. Zhu Qinghe took a look at Ruan Mu, went to a nearby ice cream shop, bought an old popsicle and said, "Eat it quickly, relieve the heat."

At this time, Ruan Mu's face was full of anger, his weak chest moved with his breath, and he looked at Zhu Qinghe coldly: "Don't eat, you eat by yourself."

Zhu Qinghe was puzzled, thinking that the young master couldn't bear the hard work all the way, but he didn't know that Ruan Mu just didn't like his polite eyes and behavior. After so long, Ruan Mu thought that the two of them could be considered He is a good friend who talks about everything. I didn't expect Zhu Qinghe to be so clearly distinguished until now. He is just the teacher's son and an outsider.

Zhu Qinghe was in a hurry, it was about to melt, he licked his dry lips, and coaxed for a while: "Okay, it's a pity to spend money on it, it takes me a long time to move bricks to earn it, eat quickly, Find a place to eat, and find a job after eating."

Ruan Mu's temper immediately subsided. This person who has been suffering all his life has no one around him who loves him. He took a bite and handed it to his mouth: "You eat too, your mouth is dry."

Only then did Zhu Qinghe take a small bite awkwardly, and drove away the fire in his throat with a cool sip, and the sweetness touched his heart.

Ruan Mu felt that this was the best popsicle he had eaten in two lifetimes, even better than the creamy one with strawberry filling.

It turns out that as long as he is by your side, everything is the best!
