the sky is sugar

When Jiang Lin and He Yancheng arrived at the hospital, Father Jiang was already lying quietly on the bed covered with a white cloth.

The doctor said that Dad Jiang died of a sudden massive myocardial infarction on the way to the hospital in an ambulance.

Jiang Lin, who was in class early in the morning, was suddenly called out to the corridor by the head teacher. He Yancheng thought it was because he failed the exam, but suddenly Jiang Lin yelled from outside.

He Yancheng rushed directly to the door, and saw him looking at the sighing homeroom teacher with red eyes, his face full of grief.

"Dad." Jiang Lin's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

He staggered to the bed and knelt heavily on the ground, calling "Dad" over and over again, his voice trembling violently, slowly crying, tears pouring out like a flood.

Standing by the side, He Yancheng looked at Jiang Lin with red eyes. He wanted to stretch out his hands to pull Jiang Lin up, but felt that his arms seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and he couldn't lift them up.

"Dad, you scared me on purpose, right? I know you must have done it on purpose. You are afraid that I won't study, so you deliberately let our head teacher lie to me, right..."

"Look, look at me, I'm really scared by you, Dad, you open your eyes and look at me, you get up and look at me, Dad, you really scared me... woo woo woo... Get up, Dad!"

He Yancheng squatted down and gently hugged Jiang Lin's shoulders, suppressing his emotions and said: "Jiang Lin, don't do this, uncle doesn't want you to do this."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Lin suddenly grabbed his arm and dragged him to the bed, crying and laughing, "Dad, look, even he was deceived by you, you said he was handsome, remember Dad, a few days ago Let's go help together and you will cook us food...you look at him...you look at me, dad...dad...no, no, dad..."

Jiang Lin almost collapsed. He suddenly sat on the ground and shouted: "Dad! What should I do by myself! What should I do! Ahhh!!!"

He Yancheng firmly grasped his hands that were beating wildly on the floor beside his legs, pulled him into his arms and hugged his arms tightly.

"Jiang Lin! Jiang Lin! Calm down! Jiang Lin!!" He Yancheng could feel tears on his shoulders.

"I don't have a dad anymore, I don't have a dad anymore! I've become an orphan again! I've become an orphan again, He Yancheng!!" Jiang Lin almost roared in the second half of the sentence.

He Yancheng froze there, his mind was full of the phrase "I have become an orphan again".

He always thought that Jiang's father was Jiang Lin's biological father, how could this be, how could this be, was Jiang Lin an orphan?

How much suffering and misfortune he still has is unknown to him.

He Yancheng didn't dare to think about it.

In the past, he even felt that his parents were always busy and didn't go home and didn't care about him. He was very pitiful without his parents' company, but now compared with Jiang Lin, those things are nothing.

Father Jiang never got married because he was disabled and had to drag Jiang Lin to grow up. He had no relatives or friends when he was poor, so only a few good neighbors and Jiang Lin's class teacher came to the simple funeral.

Jiang Lin didn't cry on the day of cremation, nor did Jiang Lin cry at the funeral.

Until the day when he went to cancel the account, Jiang Lin didn't speak, just looked at Jiang's father's page and kept crying.

He rubbed it with the back of his hand while dropping it, and the more he rubbed it, the more it fell off.

One after another, they fell on the paper and hit He Yancheng's heart.

He thought he would never forget that 16-year-old Jiang Lin was crying and asked him, "Uncle, Uncle, can you, can you not cancel your account?"

The answer is of course no, and Jiang Lin knew it in his heart, but he thought that he would be the only one in the household registration book in the future, so he couldn't breathe. He missed Dad Jiang, especially.

He remembered that during that time, he curled up on the bed every night holding the only photo with Jiang’s father last year and cried until midnight. He never knew that a person could have so many tears. Tears do not flick.

He knew that he was back before being picked up by Father Jiang, and he became an orphan without father and mother again.

The only thing he has is that he still has the same last name as Jiang's father.

Every time He Yancheng wanted to follow him to his house to accompany him, he was rejected. He was worried about Jiang Lin, and often stood outside until the lights went out before leaving. During that time, no one felt well.

So Jiang Lin took as many days off as he did, until Jiang Lin returned to school, and He Yancheng followed suit.

As soon as he entered the classroom, the classmates looked at Jiang Lin with sympathetic eyes, but he didn't see it at all, or he was like a puppet.

Since returning to school, Jiang Lin still listens to lectures, studies, writes homework, and takes exams as before, but his eyes are red and swollen every day, and no teacher has ever called his name.

And he also began to become taciturn, studying non-stop during class, and even reading books while walking after class.

He Yancheng asked him to live with him several times, so that he would not be hurt by living in the small rental house with Jiang's father, but he was rejected.

What Jiang Lin said is that the rent will be due in a few months this year, and he will talk about it at that time, but he plans to live in the school dormitory after the house expires, and then find a place that includes food and lodging to work during the holidays.

He sold the small cart and some useless things at home, and when he was sorting out the drawers, he found a small passbook with a small dirty note in it, and there was a sentence written crookedly:

The tuition for his son Jiang Lin and the money to buy a house and marry a wife in the future.

A total of 106 million.

Father Jiang has no wife or children, only Jiang Lin, a child he picked up. This is the money he has saved for half his life since he was young, if it wasn't all because of him working early and late and being young If the stall business has been doing well, there is no way to save this money.

Jiang Lin held the passbook and knelt on the ground crying out of breath. He touched that passage over and over again, and his heart ached like a knife.

Father Jiang is usually reluctant to spend an extra dime for himself, let alone good food. His clothes and shoes have been worn for many years, and the vest inside has several holes, and his socks are worn by Jiang Lin. Yes, the hats and scarves that Jiang Lin wears in winter were bought by Jiang Lin when he was in junior high school.

But as long as Jiang Lin wants it, he is willing to give it no matter how much it is, especially when it comes to studying, he is never ambiguous. Usually, he often gives Jiang Linsai pocket money to buy clothes, shoes and food.

Fortunately, Jiang Lin was very sensible and frugal since he was a child. Except for the things necessary for learning, he never asked Jiang’s father for money to buy things. He bought clothes and clothes only when they were worn out. Still can't get a trace of God's favor.

Calculating the time, it has been more than two months since Father Jiang left.

Taking advantage of the lunch break and having nothing to do, Jiang Lin wanted to sit quietly on the rooftop and think about how he should live alone in the future.

When He Yancheng just finished class, he ran to the toilet, and Jiang Lin was no longer in his seat when he came back. After asking several classmates, someone told him that he seemed to have seen Jiang Lin go up to the rooftop.

During this period of time, he followed Jiang Lin almost wherever he went, just in case he had any thoughts about not being able to survive. After all, the only family member was gone, so how could people rest assured that he was alone.

He panicked suddenly, worried that Jiang Lin would do something impulsive, and ran to the rooftop. He Yancheng felt that he had never run so fast in his life, and almost died.

He kicked open the door of the roof, just in time to see Jiang Lin who was sitting on the side, He Yancheng rushed over without saying a word, dragged and hugged him and got him off, and both of them rolled on the ground.

Jiang Lin looked at him in a daze, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Calm down." He Yancheng lay on the side panting heavily, what he said made Jiang Lin look confused.

"?"

"Damn! I thought you were fucking going to jump off the building!" He Yancheng cursed while covering his eyes with one hand.

"..."

"Give me a hand, I'm exhausted from running." He Yancheng said.

Jiang Lin pulled his arm to lift him up from the ground, the two sat against the wall, He Yancheng bent one leg, and rested one arm on his knee.

He tilted his head to look at Jiang Lin: "What are you doing here when you have nothing to do! Do you know that people are scary!"

"Pfft." Seeing his appearance, Jiang Lin suddenly couldn't help laughing, this was the first time he laughed in a month, and He Yancheng stared at him blankly.

After a while, he regained his composure, and said stiffly, "Laughing fart!" But he couldn't help laughing too.

"I just want to be quiet, why are you in such a hurry?" Jiang Lin turned his head and looked at He Yancheng with a faint smile, "Besides, there is a platform below, even if I really jumped, the distance of more than one meter is at most enough I'll throw a dog and eat shit."

He won't, Jiang Lin won't have that kind of thought, because Dad Jiang will definitely be angry if he finds out, and he won't let Dad Jiang be angry or disappointed.He will live a good life and go to school well, even if this road is not so suitable for him, he will go through it, and he will finish college with Jiang's father's expectation.

"Jiang Lin." He Yancheng said suddenly looking at the distance.

"Huh?" Jiang Lin looked at him.

"fine."

"..."

"Why do you come to school here?" Jiang Lin asked breaking the silence.

"It was too rebellious before." He Yancheng smiled, "Those famous schools didn't dare to take it, and then my dad got me here."

"Is this the rich second generation coming to experience life in the place where ordinary people live?"

"I don't know." He Yancheng looked careless, "Anyway, I have gained a lot." He said the last sentence in a low voice, almost muttering.

Jiang Lin didn't hear clearly, and asked, "Huh?"

"It's nothing." He Yancheng shook his head, "But these things that happened after I met you really touched me deeply. I think my dad will definitely feel that I am different from before when he sees me next time."

"Is it better or worse?" Jiang Lin asked.

"Of course it's getting better! If my mother is around, she might be very happy." He Yancheng leaned his head against the wall and looked at the sky.

"Your mother..." Jiang Lin hesitated to speak.

"She was gone when I was very young." He Yancheng said frankly.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have asked this." Jiang Lin also looked up at the sky, "But you are still much luckier than me."

"You should know that day. I was not born to Father Jiang. When I was very young, my parents died in a car accident. Then I was trafficked by human traffickers. I had a high fever on the road. They were afraid that I would die in the car, so they left me in the car." The rubbish dump, Dad Jiang picked me up, rescued me, and raised me to study for me..." Jiang Lin choked up.

He Yancheng moved towards him, put his arm around his shoulder and patted him lightly.

"I really miss him." Jiang Lin said holding back tears.

"I haven't come in time to learn sign language..." He Yancheng's eyes were also a little red, he was actually fierce on the surface, but his heart was very soft.
