Ask for peace of mind

"Brother Lin Zi, here you are!" Xu Wei'an handed over the two-dollar tenement from his grandmother to Sun Lin.

Every time grandma gave him the money to buy school supplies, he would give it to brother Lin Zi.He really can't use so much money himself.After the teacher assigns homework, as long as there is enough time, he will use the branches to practice on the ground several times, and then write gently on the homework book with a pen. After the front side of the homework book is used up, he will use the back side. He will use a pencil to correct his homework. After the entire notebook is used up, he will use an eraser to clean it and use it again. A notebook can be used many times.When he writes with a pencil, it will be light, prolonging the use time.The remaining short nibs are not wasted, they can be used for a long time if they are covered with hard paper and tied tightly with a rope.He has good academic performance and can get many prizes every school year. The teacher exchanged the study prizes he got for him with exercise books and pens, so he basically didn't need to buy school supplies.Grandma was always worried that he didn't have money to buy these school supplies. Every time he left grandma's house, the old lady would give him money. At first he refused, but later he had to accept when grandma was stubborn.He knew that his uncle's family was also short of money, and it was not easy for Brother Lin to go to school, so after getting the money, he secretly gave it to Brother Lin.

Sun Lin rubbed his hair, took it and stuffed it into his pocket without saying anything.His life in No. [-] Middle School was not easy.The family supports two students to go to school, and it is very difficult financially. At most, it can ensure that he has enough food at school, and it is really impossible to provide more.As the leader of the rural students, he naturally shouldn't be too shabby, at least he should be neatly dressed.But there are very few cloth tickets in the family, and it takes a few years to make a suit of clothes. His clothes are either his father's old clothes or uncles' clothes. None of them are unpatched, and they are seriously discolored. Like a dirty rag, sometimes students in the city would mock him for his clothes, but he didn't care much, because every time he was laughed at, the students in the countryside became excited and his popularity rose once.It's just that after Wen Di came, everything changed slowly.

Wen Di didn't dress well, some students in the city had already put on fashionable clothes, but Wen Di was still wearing plain cloth.It's just that Wen Di's whole body is clean, even if the clothes are old, it can be seen that they fit well, there are no patches, and it's not someone else's clothes.When Wen Di attracted a group of rural students, Sun Lin felt a crisis.Urban students would not laugh at Wendi's clothing, conduct, and quality, so naturally they would not be able to arouse the enthusiasm of the crowd. Wendi's popularity comes entirely from his personal bearing and conduct.However, Sun Lin relied on the situation similar to that of the rural students. If the urban students could not ridicule these circumstances and the rural students would not be indignant, then his popularity would naturally be declining. Could he not be in a hurry?It is said that people rely on clothes and saddles, and his temperament is not as good as Wen Di, so he can only work hard on his clothes, but his family situation cannot meet his needs, so he can only save food stamps and plan to change some cloth at that time Tickets, change your outfit for yourself.

He has saved up all the money Xu Wei'an gave, and it is quite a sum, almost enough for his one-year tuition.He planned to give himself a good change of image when he returned to school.

Sun Lin didn't stay long at Xu's house. After spending the night with Xu Wei'an's younger brothers and sisters, he rushed home the next morning after eating.

Xu Wei'an gave the money he earned to his mother, Sun Yulan, and was rewarded with five cents.

Xu Wei'an's father, Xu Limin, separated after they got married.Apart from eating at his own home, Xu Wei'an has always lived with his grandma.Not long after he was carried to Xu's house, his mother, Sun Yulan, became pregnant and was unable to take care of him.The birth of two children in succession made Sun Yulan focus on her own children, so she had no time to pay attention to Xu Wei'an, so Xu Wei'an has been living with her grandmother.

Grandma Xu is not a good-tempered old lady.She has a quick temper, and Xu Wei'an is taciturn, so he will often be scolded or slapped by the old lady, which makes Xu Wei'an always trembling in front of the old lady, which is even more unpopular with the old lady.Although the old lady didn't like him, seeing that he brought a grandson to the Xu family (superstitious idea), she still chose to send him to school, and Xu Wei'an also lived up to it, with good grades, and skipped a grade to the fourth grade at a young age.

Although Xu Wei'an was silent and didn't talk much, he was very active in his work. After school every day, after finishing his homework, he took the initiative to pick up the sickle to cut hogweed. If he cut too much, he used the wheelbarrow that Xu Limin helped him to pull back.During this wheat season, I even went to the fields to help cut the wheat.Everyone in the neighborhood sighed at the generosity of the Xu family and Xu Wei'an's sensibleness.Who doesn't like a good reputation, so the old lady reluctantly suppressed the idea of ​​letting Xu Wei'an drop out of school and let him continue to study, but she always talked about the favor of the Xu family in her words, so Xu Wei'an had to keep it in mind.

Xu Wei'an is only an eight-year-old child, so he will be sad too.When he was beaten by his grandma when he was young, he would complain to his parents, and his parents replied once or twice, "It was because you were disobedient. If you were obedient, she would still find fault with you".After three or four times, Xu Wei'an found that his parents would not give any other answers, so he could only become more and more obedient, and of course more and more silent.When he was able to remember things, he gradually heard from the gossip of the neighbors: he is not the grandson of the Xu family.Since then, he has become more silent and sensible. He doesn't want to be abandoned by everyone and become homeless.Of course, since then, he has also realized the particularity of grandma's feelings—that is, the care and love that is different from any other person.But now, there is another brother Wen Di who treats him well, he knows that he should be grateful, and he will do his best to repay him.

Xu Wei'an is in the fourth grade of elementary school. Due to skipping grades, he is the youngest child in the class.He is not very talkative, except for his deskmate, he has hardly talked to anyone else in the class.So when a beautiful and clean girl in the class asked to go to his house to play, Xu Wei'an was surprised and at a loss.He has never brought his classmates home to play, and he wonders if his parents will be unhappy.

"Xu Wei'an, don't be so stingy, is there any treasure in your family that you are afraid of being taken away?" The beautiful girl named Chen Shuang pouted pretending to be cute.

"No, no baby..." Xu Wei'an hurriedly shook his head.

"Then it's settled. We'll be waiting for us in the classroom after school in the afternoon." The girl flicked her hair pretendingly, and walked away.

"You..." Xu Wei'an wanted to say why you were like this, but unfortunately he didn't say it out. After thinking about it later, something was wrong. Isn't he alone? Why did he become "we"?

Xu Qing at the same table saw his stupid look, smiled and tapped his forehead: "Returning to the soul!, I can't see any more flowers from her, you boy, you know how to hook up with beautiful women at a young age." .Um?"

"I didn't look at her, why doesn't she let someone finish her sentence?" Rubbing his forehead, Xu Wei'an complained in a low voice.

"Yo, you boy still despise him, tsk tsk..." Xu Qing seemed to be in disbelief, looking at him with contempt.

"I don't think she's pretty. You're even prettier than her."

"What a sycophant, forget it, since you are so good at talking, my sister will go home with you!" After speaking, regardless of Xu Wei'an's expression, he turned to read his textbook.

"..." Xu Wei'an was speechless.

When school was over in the afternoon, Chen Shuang led a few classmates to pick up Xu Wei'an and left. Xu Qing didn't say anything, but followed with his schoolbag on his back. Seeing that she wouldn't leave, Chen Shuang greeted her warmly: "Xu Qing, we are going to play at Xu Wei'an's house, are you going?"

Xu Qing completely ignored her enthusiasm, and replied: "Xu Wei'an invited me to his house to play, of course I have to show face as a tablemate." The word "invitation" was specially emphasized, which made Chen Shuang's face look bad for a while.She ignored Chen Shuang, pulled Xu Wei'an and strode forward.

Xu Wei'an was very disturbed. He didn't understand why the classmates who hadn't spoken to him were forced to go to his house to play, but he couldn't object. They knew where his house was, and he couldn't stop it even if he wanted to.

Sun Yulan and Xu Limin went to the field, and the younger siblings were with grandma, and the house was empty.After Xu Wei'an opened the doors, Chen Shuang led the people into their courtyard without any familiarity.Xu Wei'an hurriedly moved out of the short pier from the house, let a few students sit down, hesitated whether to serve tea or water, and then heard Chen Shuang say: "Xu Wei'an, you don't have to be busy, we will play in your yard for a while Just leave, you can do your homework!" After finishing speaking, he ignored Xu Wei'an and chatted with the classmate next to him.

Seeing the situation, Xu Qing didn't say anything, took out his homework book and started to do his homework.Xu Wei'an checked that there was really nothing he needed to do, so he also started to do his homework.

As soon as I finished my homework, I heard Chen Shuang say, "Xu Wei'an, does that jujube tree outside belong to your family?"

Xu Wei'an rubbed his sore eyes from reading for a long time, and nodded.

"Then let's go there to play for a while, your jujube tree is really funny. I'll put the schoolbag here first, and you can watch it for me." After finishing speaking, he took his classmates outside without waiting for Xu Wei'an's response.

"Xu Wei'an, why are you so stupid?" Xu Qing stroked Xu Wei'an's stupefied eyebrows, quite puzzled.

Xu Wei'an slapped her hand off and ignored her.

Xu Wei'an's family's jujube tree has been around for decades, and the jujubes produced by the tree are many and sweet.The shape of the tree is very strange: the trunk slowly bends from the root to be parallel to the ground. After about one and a half meters in length, the tree slowly bends to grow upright again.Therefore, the part of the trunk parallel to the ground can be used as a stable place for people to sit on. This tree is a must-have place for friends to eat. Xu Wei'an also fought for it when he was a child. He has never sat on that tree since he went to school, because Mom said to take good care of his younger siblings, so he didn't have the opportunity to go up there again during meals.

Time passed slowly without knowing it, and Xu Wei'an heard Xu Limin's voice scolding the pair of children from a distance. It seemed that the parents came back from the field, and picked up the two little guys by the way.The two little guys are six years old and the other is four years old, they are very young.Xu Limin often scolded them angrily, but he had never hit two little guys. Who would be willing to beat their own children if they have nothing to do?

Xu Qing also heard the voice, so she packed up her things, stood up and bid farewell to Xu Wei'an.Xu Qing threw his schoolbag behind his back and walked to the gate of the courtyard, just in time to run into Chen Shuang and the others who seemed to have had enough fun.Xu Wei'an didn't know what Xu Qing said, but Chen Shuang's face suddenly became ugly, and the eyes staring at Xu Qing's back were very resentful.Xu Wei'an was startled, thinking he was dazzled, rubbed his eyes, and when he raised his head again, he found that her face was normal and she was looking at him with a smile.

"Xu Wei'an, your house is really fun. When we are free in the future, we want to come, okay?" Rarely waited for Xu Wei'an's answer.

Xu Wei'an nodded, thinking that it was really easy to greet him.

Just as they were talking, Xu Limin's family arrived at the door. Xu Wei'an quickly got up and ran over to take the hoes from Xu Limin and Sun Yulan's hands: "Father, Mom, you are back."

Sun Yulan nodded, looked at the people in the yard, and said with a smile, "Did your classmate come to play at home?"

Xu Wei'an hummed.

"Aunt, Uncle, we are Xu Wei'an's classmates. We came to your house to play this afternoon. It's getting late, so let's go back." Chen Shuang said while packing his schoolbag.

"Let's stay for dinner at night. It's easy to cook, and you can eat it in a while..." Sun Yulan was still talking politely, but she was interrupted by her loud cry.

"Oh my god, why is the five yuan in my schoolbag missing?"
