Thanks Bumin

Xie Jing hurriedly opened the door, and anxiously shouted inside: "Mom, what's going on today..."

"Hey, it's Xiao Jing who's back. Come on, come on, your uncle and I came here specially to see you and your mother." The person sitting on the sofa greeted Xie Jing who was standing at the door with a smile on his face.

Xie Jing looked at the people on the sofa, gradually removed the anxiety on his face, and squeezed out a polite smile, "Uncle, aunt, you are here."

At this time, Liu Xuejuan came out of the kitchen with a plate of fruit, saw Xie Jing carrying a schoolbag, and said, "I was thinking of calling you later to tell you not to go to the restaurant. Be back soon."

Because he was thinking about going back to help, he and Rong Min rushed to the small restaurant after finishing their duties. Unexpectedly, they saw that the door of the small restaurant was closed, and no one answered Liu Xuejuan's call.Xie Jing was in a hurry at the time, afraid that something might happen to Liu Xuejuan, but thanks to Rong Min's comfort, he calmed down and ran all the way home.

Seeing that Liu Xuejuan was doing well, his hanging heart was finally able to rest peacefully.

Xie Jing licked his dry lips, wanted to say something, then cast a hesitant glance at the two people sitting, and finally said: "Then I'll go in first."

"Okay, if you have homework, do it first, and come out for dinner later." As she spoke, Liu Xuejuan greeted Xie Jing's uncle and aunt with a smile: "Eat fruit, we don't care about him. He is a senior in high school this year. There is also a lot of pressure in school, and I can’t finish my homework until eleven or twelve o’clock in the evening.”

His aunt hurriedly said: "All the students are like this now. Don't look at our Xiaoyi, who is only in the third grade of junior high school. He brought back a pile of exam papers that day from the holiday. I saw that there were more than [-] exam papers!"

"Yes, yes, they are no better than us at that time..."

Xie Jing went back to the room and put down his schoolbag, and first sent a text message to Rong Min explaining that the small restaurant is closed today because there are people from home. hanging down.

He stared in the direction of the door with complicated expressions in his eyes.

Xie Jing's father is Xie Wangshan. When he was young, he was a rare college student at that time. He was assigned to Liu Xuejuan's work unit, and after several years of hard work, he became a small leader.The two of them had been in love for a long time during their long time working together, and soon got married. With Xie Jing, Liu Xuejuan quit her job and became a full-time housewife at home.

I thought life would go on so peacefully and warmly, but unexpectedly a car accident completely shattered this originally happy family. Xie Wangshan passed away, and Liu Xuejuan, who had no support, sold the house and started a small business with Xie Jing alone. restaurant.

Although he was still young at that time, Xie Jing never forgot.Originally, his grandma lived with their family, but after his father left, the uncle's family took grandma away.It was natural for the old man to want to live with her own son, but after that she called Liu Xuejuan several times to ask for living expenses, saying that it was the filial piety her son should give her. After his son left, his wife and grandson should pay for him.

Even though life was very difficult at that time, Liu Xuejuan gritted her teeth and paid enough on a monthly basis according to the amount offered by her grandmother, so she didn't make a fuss.

After growing up, Xie Jing also gradually realized that the reason why his grandma made such a fuss was that his uncle's family was always behind the scenes. Even though they had already held the old man's pension in their hands, the uncle's family still lent it to the old man. All kinds of expenses came to ask for money.

This time...

Xie Jing bit his finger and walked back and forth in the room for two steps, finally sat down near the door.Through the crack in the door that was deliberately left just now, Xie Jing's uncle's voice clearly reached his ears:

"Sister-in-law, it's not that we want to deliberately make things difficult for you. You know, we have lived in that house for decades, and the four of us live in a two-room room. Now Xiaoyi has to share a room with his grandma. How old are you, do you say it like this?"

"This..." Liu Xuejuan was about to speak but was interrupted by his aunt.

"We don't talk about Xiaoyi, but Xiaoyi's grandma is also Xiaojing's grandma. How old is she now, and she has to climb the seventh floor every day to buy groceries. Responsible. Although her old man lives with us now, don’t forget that she is also the mother of the elder brother. To put it bluntly, if the elder brother had not had an accident, the burden would not have been on our shoulders.”

When it came to Xie Wangshan, no matter how unwilling Liu Xuejuan was, she couldn't say it.

She still remembers that silent and tall man back then, who seldom stuffed a roasted sweet potato into her hand while on the night shift in a panic. Taking care of her mother, raising her son, she never forgot the sweetness one day.

Xu saw that Liu Xuejuan's attitude was a little loose, and Xie Jing's uncle and aunt spoke more vigorously, and even moved out something. Liu Xuejuan paid for it. After Grandma Liu left, this house will also have Xie Jing. share.

It's just nonsense!Xie Jing in the room heard that his two eyebrows were almost knit together, his lips were tightly pursed, and his eyes could almost shoot fire.

These years, my uncle's family has been tightly attached to Liu Xuejuan like a leech, and Xie Wangshan must be carried out every time. This silly woman has given almost everything for her husband who passed away early.

Thinking of Liu Xuejuan waking up early every day to prepare ingredients, and going back at night after buying supper and closing the store, a woman who has been staying with her son for more than ten years, her hair is almost turning gray, Xie Jing couldn't help but choked up, realizing that she couldn't send out voice, he quickly bit his wrist again.

The conversation in the living room was still going on, and Liu Xuejuan finally let go under the siege of Xie Jing's uncle and aunt, "Then tell me, how much do you need this time? Let's see if I can spare my hand."

Xie Jing and his aunt let out a satisfied laugh after hearing this, "Actually, although his uncle and I are just ordinary workers, we have saved a sum of money over the years. We don't plan to take out a loan. It will cost us extra money." For the bank, we moved around and borrowed money from the west, and you only need to give us another 20."

"What, 20!" Liu Xuejuan said in shock.She thought that they would only ask for tens of thousands of yuan at most, but she didn't expect that the price would be 20, 20. If they really gave it to her and Xie Jing, they would have no savings at all.

"One hundred thousand, it's really too much." Liu Xuejuan murmured with a pale face, "You also know that Xie Jing is still in high school, and he will go to college in the future, and he is a boy. This, this one hundred thousand is my I really can't get it out."

"I can't take it out!" Xie Jing's aunt raised her voice, and it sounded extremely sharp, "Sister-in-law, you are not joking, now which one can't take out [-], don't you don't want to take it out."

Those words were ugly, and Liu Xuejuan, who felt sorry at first, couldn't help but glared at her, "What do you mean by that!"

With a sound of "click", Xie Jing's room door was opened, Xie Jing walked out expressionlessly, Liu Xuejuan hurriedly said: "Xie Jing, have you finished your homework?"

"En." Xie Jing responded lightly, walked to the cabinet next to the TV, and clicked on the two red lights next to the black and white photo of Xie Wangshan. Eyes, the two who were still looking at Xie Jing with dissatisfaction felt inexplicably cold, and turned their heads away feeling guilty.

Xie Jing pretended not to see Liu Xuejuan's disapproving look, and sat down beside her.

Seeing that the man beside him was speechless, Xie Jing's aunt secretly spit to no avail, and took Liu Xuejuan's hand with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you are also considerate of our hardships, mom is a year and a year We are getting old, our burden is really getting heavier year by year, and there is a Xiaoyi at home who goes to school, this house is really good, we are asking people to borrow money everywhere, and we have emptied the house, Wang Hai is also Wang Shan's younger brother, so we hope that the elderly at home will have a better life."

While talking, she gently bumped Xie Wanghai, who was standing beside him with her head down, with her elbow. Xie Wanghai rubbed his hands, and said in a hoarse voice, "We really can't help it. You should also think about our mother."

"This..." Liu Xuejuan hesitated, after all, she still didn't know how true or false what Xie Haiwang and his wife said.

Xie Jing looked at the two, and suddenly asked curiously: "Auntie, since the family plans to buy a house, will Xiaoyi still go to study abroad?"

As soon as his aunt heard the word studying abroad, her expression changed drastically, "I told you, no, who is talking nonsense about such a thing?"

Her family's Xie Yi's study abroad had been decided long ago, and the couple saved a sum of money just to send him out.The house was recently purchased, and the person who introduced it said that there would be no such shop after passing this village. The couple added up, and the old man's pension was still far behind.Anyway, the eldest brother and the old man are about to be moved out, and this sister-in-law rarely disagrees.They will definitely get the money when they come here. They never expected that Xiaoyi's study abroad would be revealed by Xie Jing.

Xie Jing's eyes widened, looking pure and innocent, "Didn't Xiaoyi say it himself? You forgot, Xiaoyi's class teacher also taught me."

Liu Xuejuan's eyes swept back and forth between Xie Jing and the flustered Xie Wanghai for a while, and she faintly understood, she firmly withdrew her hand from Aunt Xie Jing's hand, and her expression turned cold.

Can have money to support their children to go to school abroad, but they come to her crying for money for 20 yuan. Whose children are not treasures. Why should Xie Jing’s family be so busy at home and school that he can’t even buy an air conditioner? , her children studying abroad have the face to come to her to cry poor.

The more Liu Xuejuan thought about it, the more wronged she was for Xie Jing and herself, and her tone of voice became stiff:

"It turned out that Xiaoyi hadn't graduated from junior high school, and you planned to go abroad for him. Going out after high school is no better than a university study tour. I heard people said that the money prepared is much more than that."

"Xiao Yi's grades are not good. If his grades are as good as Xiao Jing's, we don't have to bother to get him out of the country."

Xie Jing blinked his eyes to hide the sarcasm in his eyes because his grades were not good and he was still thinking about going abroad.Obviously, Liu Xuejuan wanted to go with him, drinking tea and ignoring Xie Wanghai's nonsense.

"Sister-in-law, listen to me..."

"Stop talking, it's already noon, and Xiao Jing is also hungry. I have to cook for him, so I won't keep you guys for tea." Liu Xuejuan politely ordered to chase away the guests.

Xie Wanghai and his wife saw that the things they had planned were completely ruined, and they were not in the mood to keep it any longer, so they reluctantly said a few polite words and left.

Xie Jing watched Liu Xuejuan sitting on the sofa, her eyes closed and motionless, but just looking at her, Xie Jing could feel her fatigue.

Xie Jing reached out his hand silently, and held Liu Xuejuan's hand. Liu Xuejuan was taken aback for a moment, and then squeezed back tightly.

In the red light, the man in the photo smiled and looked at the mother and child comforting each other, just like before.
