Ask for peace of mind

I don't know if it was the effect of the incense ash, but Xu Wei'an's fever subsided within two days.It's just that his mouth was so swollen and sore that he couldn't even open it, and he couldn't eat properly for two days.His head and face were covered with bluish-purple swellings, which looked very ugly.If it was before, Xu Wei'an definitely didn't want to go to school out of self-esteem.His image is simply telling others that he has been specially slapped in the face, and his self-esteem has been trampled underfoot.But it's different now, he desperately wants to leave here, he wants to grow up quickly, be able to protect himself and support himself, and no longer depend on anyone.

I want to leave here, I want to go to Yanzhou City to study in university, I want to see my little brother, and I want to feel the rooted and warm life again.He can't let go of his studies. He is not smart, so he has to work harder than others.

Sitting in his seat, Xu Wei'an took out his textbook and buried his head in his homework, ignoring the eyes watching the excitement around him.He made up his mind in the two days when he was sick, and planned to finish the homework of the fifth grade by self-study in the fourth grade.When I was in the fifth grade, I taught myself junior high school.Because of the situation at home, he doesn't know how long he can study, so he can only try his best to learn as much as possible in the shortest time.He also plans to save money. If his family doesn't provide him with education, he will provide for himself. Although the money he earns from selling cicada monkey shells is enough for tuition, it must be handed over to Sun Yulan.If he doesn't give it to her, the family will definitely be turned upside down. If he wants to save money secretly, he can only find another way. During the winter vacation, he can secretly ask grandma.

"Xu Wei'an, what's the matter with you? Look at your pretty little face!" Xu Qing began to speak strangely as soon as he saw Xu Wei'an.

Xu Wei'an ignored her and continued to read his book.

"Hey, it's not because of Chen Shuang, is it?"

Only the family members know about this matter. Xu's family cares about face, so they will definitely not tell the outside world.Xu Wei'an wanted to ask her how she knew, but seeing how she watched the excitement, she didn't say anything.

"I've seen several people like you. Take Chen Shuang to play at home once, and in a few days you will definitely turn into a pig's head." Xu Qing rubbed his chin, blinked at Xu Wei'an, and whispered Said: "I heard that she took a few people to play, and sometimes when the master was greeting other people, she would steal other people's things." Then she was puzzled: "No, yesterday I just looked at her. , she has no chance to steal, so why are you being beaten?"

Xu Wei'an didn't know how to react when he heard this.He shivered for a moment, and whispered: "After you left, she said she lost five yuan, and we couldn't find it anywhere..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Qing went on to say, "Then your parents gave her five yuan, and then you were beaten?"

Xu Wei'an recalled the scene two or three days ago, his heart suddenly became a ball, and he hummed.

"You know, Chen Shuang's family is notoriously unreasonable and loves to take advantage of others. At first, Chen Shuang was playing at a classmate's house. When he was about to go home, he said that he had lost his money and that the poor family would eat If she is not full, she will give her the money first. Not long after she came home, her parents and others led people to scold the family in the village for having bad conscience and stealing the little girl's money. In the end, that family was so angry that they almost got into a fight with Chen Shuang's family. In the end, the village chief came to mediate. Chen Shuang's parents are really bad. The reputation in the village is so bad that sons can’t get married, and daughters can’t get married. Therefore, every family in our village is unwilling to receive Chen Shuang and his family, for fear of causing bad luck.”

Xu Qing shook his head and sighed: "Hey, you silly boy brought people to your house. Your parents don't want to offend the poor family, so they can only be blackmailed. It's normal for them to vent their anger on you. , don’t take it to heart.”

Xu Wei'an didn't say anything, just nodded.He really did something wrong this time, he should fight, he must be defensive, and this taught him a lesson.But he still understands his parents, it doesn't matter whether he cares about it or not, because his parents never cared about him.

Although as far as he can remember, he gave the money he earned to his parents every year, and he lived and ate at his grandmother's house all summer and winter.But the family kept him, and the little money he paid was not enough for him to eat.He can't say without conscience that he doesn't owe his parents. In the final analysis, he always owes nurturing grace, and no matter whether he leaves in the future, he will repay it well.They're not bad guys, they just don't love him.

Xu Wei'an skipped a grade to the fourth grade, and his foundation was not real, and his midterm exam results were only average in the class.Grandma Xu criticized her when she took the grades home—usually her grandson's grades made her look the most proud among a group of old sisters, but now her grandson's grades can't stand up.Sun Yulan and Xu Limin didn't react much, they just signed their names, indicating that the parents knew the student's grades.

Xu Wei'an's younger sister, Xu Dexiang, will start preschool next year. Although elementary school tuition fees are not high these days, it is still too much for a family to support two children. Xu Wei'an knows that his current situation is very dangerous. Only when his grades improve can he get greater opportunities keep reading.

After the midterm exam, Xu Wei'an calmed down and studied hard. Although it was only elementary school, he studied very hard.Because he needs to consolidate the knowledge he has learned before, study the current curriculum and the fifth grade curriculum, and usually help with the housework, he hardly has any free time.He is only an eight-year-old child, and he also feels tired in his heart. Whenever he is tired, he forces himself to repeatedly recall the situation when he was beaten. He does not want to live this kind of life without a source.He wants to grow up quickly, be able to support himself and protect himself, repay the kindness of his adoptive parents, and then leave this home.He wanted to have a home, and his family hurt him to protect him, and he would not let him have nowhere to escape like a animal when he was beaten.He didn't want to live cowardly anymore.

During the winter vacation, Xu Wei'an was taken to his grandmother's house by Sun Lin as usual.He asked grandma how to make money, and grandma probably understood his situation, and told him that straw hats could be made from straw in summer, and Xu Wei'an planned to start work next summer.

Xu Wei'an found out from Sun Lin that Wen Di had returned to Yanzhou for the New Year.Wen Di's father is about to be transferred, and next year Wen Di will return to Yanzhou City to study in his third year of high school.

Wen Di asked Sun Lin to bring Xu Wei'an a lot of chocolates, as well as a very soft tiger fur hat.Xu Wei'an was both happy and sad. The happy thing was that the little brother remembered his preferences and treated him so well. The sad thing was that he didn't know when he would meet again.

His biological parents abandoned him, his adoptive parents didn't care about him, and the only one who kissed him was his grandmother. He thought that no one would care about him in this life. His heart was surrounded by helplessness. Who would have thought that he would meet Wen Di... .With Wendi, his heart is free, but he can find a foothold at any time, and he finds that he can not be cowardly and inferior.

When Sun Lin left, Xu Wei'an asked him to help bring the Bozi he dug during the winter solstice to Wen Di.Of course, he will not forget Brother Lin's share.In order to get more bochine, Xu Wei'an directly stuck his hands into the muddy water to touch the bochina in the winter.After touching Boji, his hands were cracked from the cold.Of the twenty fingers, none of them were intact, all of them had big gashes, soaked in hot water, and it hurt.Sleeping at night is even more difficult, itchy and swollen, my fingers are connected to my heart, and I can't sleep well.Grandma was very distressed, but Xu Wei'an was very happy, and he tried his best to repay Wen Di's kindness to him.

Time flies, and ten-year-old Xu Wei'an was admitted to the best junior high school in the town in a blink of an eye.Sun Lin was admitted to a college in this city with a major in accounting, and Wen Di was admitted to the long-awaited Yanzhou University.
