Song Yuhui went up the mountain with a chopping knife, and Lin Haoxi also carried one.Lin Haoxi has already learned the secret of chopping wood.Grandma Song refused to let him do farm work, saying that he was a guest, and Lin Haoxi just took it for fun to accompany Song Yuhui.

However, the weather was still clear and clear just now, and it rained as soon as it was said.Before the freshly cut firewood could be tied up, Lin Haoxi pulled Song Yuhui and hid under a bigger tree.

Soybean-sized raindrops fell on the leaves, and the leaves of the tree where Lin Haoxi and Song Yuhui were located were relatively dense, so the raindrops were not easy to fall.The two of them sat on the ground with leaf cushions, some distance away from the roots of the tree, so as to avoid being implicated by thunder.

Song Yuhui cut two branches of plants with larger and denser leaves with a hatchet, and handed one branch to Lin Haoxi to block the rain that dripped through the dense leaves.

"It's just the sun rain, and it will stop after a while." Song Yuhui sat down beside Lin Haoxi, and saw a long bloodstain on Lin Haoxi's right hand, "Brother, your hand is bleeding."

Lin Haoxi looked at his hand, there was indeed a cut, although it was not deep, it was seven or eight centimeters long.It rained suddenly just now, and he didn't pay attention to the scar on his hand, "Fortunately, it doesn't hurt."

Song Yuhui wanted to take the tree branch from Lin Haoxi's hand to block the raindrops, "I'll hold it for you."

Lin Haoxi avoids his extended hand, "Just take care of yourself."

Song Yuhui stretched out his hand without giving up, "Your hand is hurt, I'll hold it up."

Lin Haoxi smiled, and reached out to help him with the branch on his head, "Okay, you hold your own well, or you'll get wet later."

Song Yuhui finally gave up, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, even though there were two layers of protection on his head, he still couldn't avoid a few drops of rain.

This rain of sun took longer than expected.Lin Haoxi tilted his head and saw a hole in the shoulder of his yellowed white clothes, "Why haven't I seen you wearing new clothes these days?"

"I'll wear it in a few days."

"You still want to keep it to lay eggs?"

"No." Song Yuhui shook his head, doing farm work every day, either running up the mountain or in the vegetable field, "It's not good to work in new clothes."

"Clothes are meant to be worn, it doesn't matter when you wear them." Lin Haoxi patted him on the shoulder, "Put on new clothes tomorrow, don't keep them."

Song Yuhui nodded obediently, "En En."

The sun rain finally stopped, the dark clouds dissipated, and the bright sunlight fell directly on the rain-soaked green leaves, shining crystal light.

Lin Haoxi threw away the branch in his hand, stood up, and looked up at the beam of light shooting down from the sky in the distance.Song Yuhui got up and stood beside Lin Haoxi, "The rain has finally stopped."

Lin Haoxi looked at his side face covered with golden light by the sun, "Go, go back."

"Ah."

There are still three days before the 'Rural Life Experience' will end, and Lin Haoxi doesn't want to leave.

He first came here to experience the life in the countryside, and secondly, to find inspiration for his own creation.He originally planned to write in front of the green mountains and green waters during the day, and occasionally go out to play in the mountains and rivers.However, it was different from what I expected. After coming here, I followed Song Yuhui every day, wandered here and there, and experienced all kinds of things in the countryside.

Without Song Yuhui, it is conceivable that life in the countryside must be monotonous and boring.

The thought of leaving felt like something was stuck in my heart.

Before going to bed at night, Lin Haoxi lay on the bed and taught Song Yuhui how to surf the Internet on his mobile phone, and applied for a new QQ account for him, and there was only Lin Haoxi as a friend in the new account.

After turning off the lights, the two were lying on the bed chatting, Lin Haoxi asked casually, "Where did you go to high school?"

Song Yuhui shook his head, "I don't know."

"School starts in half a month, why don't you know now?"

"It should be..." Song Yuhui hesitated for a while, "I should not read it."

"why?"

Song Yuhui said in a low voice, "High school tuition is too expensive, and my family can't afford it."

Lin Haoxi paused, "Did your parents say that?"

"No."

"Then how do you know you can't afford it?"

"Grandpa and grandma are all farmers, so they don't have much money."

"What about your parents, they don't work outside the home, so why can't they even afford to pay for your high school education?"

"I don't have parents."

In the darkness, Lin Haoxi's eyes widened slightly.Next to him, Song Yuhui whispered, "My dad got sick and passed away when I was three years old, and my mom left later."

Lin Haoxi's whole body was paralyzed for a moment. He always thought that Song Yuhui's parents went out to work like other people in the village, and he was a left-behind child like other people of the same age. Unexpectedly, it was like this.

Lin Haoxi grew up in a happy family and had no worries about food and clothing from the day he was born.He couldn't imagine Song Yuhui's experience, let alone understand his feelings.

Some just feel sorry for him.

"elder brother."

"Ok?"

"Are you going back in a few days?"

"En." Lin Haoxi felt that he was still in a state of paralysis, so he only answered with one word.

"In the future, when I make money and have a mobile phone, can I chat with you on QQ?"

"can."

"I'll write down your phone number tomorrow, and when I make money, I'll return you the money for clothes and shoes."

Lin Haoxi replied: "You can come to me if you don't make any money, and I will take you to play."

"Are there many lights in the city at night?" His impression of big cities is only on TV.

"Well, that's called a neon sign."

"There are also many high-rise buildings, and the walls are like mirrors."

"Well, that's called a glass curtain wall."

While talking, Song Yuhui fell asleep, but Lin Haoxi couldn't fall asleep no matter what.Lying on the bed and thinking a lot, the person next to me breathes evenly and sleeps peacefully, always occupying only a little place beside the bed.

Lin Haoxi stretched out his hand over his body, and went to the edge of the bed, but there was no room.Putting his arms on his body, his body was close to him, and he was carefully hugging him in his arms.

He wanted to give him warmth, even a little.

Song Yuhui, who was in a drowsy sleep, slowly opened his eyes, "Brother, what's wrong?"

"I just had a nightmare, let me hug you for a while."

With a smile on Song Yuhui's lips, he turned sideways and patted him on the back like coaxing a child, "It's okay, it's just a dream, not real."

Lin Haoxi stroked his head, "I know, you go to sleep."

"Yeah." Song Yuhui's sleep quality has always been very good, probably because he is innocent and doesn't think too much, or it may be because he is too tired from working during the day.The burden on this 15-year-old boy is too heavy, which is unimaginable for all urban children of the same age.

Lin Haoxi forgot exactly when he fell asleep that night, he only remembered making a very important decision before going to bed.

The next day, I talked to Grandpa Song and Grandma Song, "Grandpa and grandma, Yuhui is still young, if he neglects his studies, his future will also be ruined. I hope he will finish his studies. As for the tuition and living expenses of high school and university, I will take care of him." Come out."

Grandpa Song disagreed, "What kind of business is this? It takes a lot of money to go to high school and college, and you are still a student, so I can't let you pay it."

"I still have some money here, so it won't be a problem for Yuhui to go to high school and university."

Grandpa Song said: "It's not easy for your parents to make money. You keep the money they give you for yourself. It's not a trivial matter to support Yuhui to study, and we appreciate your kindness."

Grandma Song also sighed, "Yes, Haoxi, we all know that you are kind, but let's forget about it."

Lin Haoxi took a deep breath, "Yuhui is only 15 years old, if he gives up studying now, he will have to sell coolies to make money in society."

Grandma Song looked at Song Yuhui who was sitting at the table with his head bowed, "We are in the countryside here, and there are not many people who are successful in studying, just like his cousin, who went to a technical secondary school and spent a lot of money. In the end, we still have to work in the factory, so we don’t waste the money.”

"Grandma, you don't need to give me the money, I will be responsible for it, and you can rest assured that I will be responsible for this matter to the end."

"Haoxi, listen to grandma. Grandma knows that you are doing it for Yuhui's good, and we also want Yuhui's good." Grandma Song said: "Our family is poor, we have food and vegetables, and we haven't received alms for so many years. , and didn’t say anyone died of starvation. We two old people are getting old and won’t live long, as long as we see that Yuhui can support us, we will be satisfied.”

Everyone in the Song family is stubborn and never accepts charity from others.Lin Haoxi already understood when she bought clothes for Song Yuhui.

Lin Haoxi really didn't know what to say, and looked at Song Yuhui, who had kept his head down, "I don't think we discussed it any more. We still have to ask Yuhui, after all, this is his business."

Song Yuhui raised his head, not daring to look at Lin Haoxi, "I listen to my grandparents."

"Then tell me, do you want to continue studying?" Lin Haoxi looked at him seriously and asked.

Song Yuhui looked at his grandfather and then at his grandmother, pursed his lips and shook his head, "I don't want to."

Lin Haoxi was taken aback, he was only focused on discussing with his grandparents, but he didn't ask Song Yuhui in advance if he wanted to continue studying.He always thought that Song Yuhui liked going to school very much.

The matter of Song Yuhui's continuation of his studies came to an end, and the person concerned was unwilling, so it was useless for him to persist.Lin Haoxi is not a nosy person, but about Song Yuhui's matter, he can't turn a deaf ear to it no matter what.

Song Yuhui went out to fetch water with a bucket, and Lin Haoxi followed behind him, watching his back all the way.

"What are your plans?" Lin Haoxi asked.

"My uncle said, let me follow my cousin to work in the city."

"Do you know that if you give up studying now, you may have to work hard for a lifetime in the future."

Song Yuhui scooped up water with a ladle, "I know."

"Then you still..."

Song Yuhui lowered his head and looked at his own reflection in the spring water, "Brother, I want to earn more money to enjoy the blessings of my grandparents. The two old people have worked hard all their lives, but they have never enjoyed a good fortune."

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Lin Haoxi who was standing next to him from the bottom up, "Grandma said that my dad used to be the most filial among the three children, but it's a pity..."

Song Yuhui didn't continue, and Lin Haoxi had nothing to say. He has been here for more than 20 days, and he has never been so frustrated as he is now.

Sometimes, he felt that the folk customs of a place were too simple, so simple that they didn't covet petty gain, and didn't accept charity from others casually, which was actually a bit scary.It's like a person who is used to being a good person, and suddenly one day he is asked to do something bad, and he will never be able to overcome the hurdle in his heart.
