After the adopted daughter of a wealthy family was reborn, everyone was cremated

Chapter 112 Your hands will be dirty if you take it

Before Xiao Lin finished tidying up the store, several people who went out to shoot outdoor scenes came back.

"Of course, Hua Hua, come in quickly and stay warm." Xia Xizhou opened the door and greeted him.

After several people entered the store one after another, she ran to the small warehouse and came out with a tea tray, "Everyone, please drink some hot water to warm yourself up."

"How's the shooting going?" Xiao Lin dropped what he was doing and gathered around.

"Not bad." Photographer Zhou Yong put the camera aside and was taking the steaming cup from Xia Xizhou's hand, "It went very well."

"That's great." Xiao Lin asked happily and expectantly, "Can I look at the photos for a while?"

"can."

The photographer took the camera off his neck and gave it to her, but Xiaolin didn't know how to use it, "Which button do you press to see the film?"

"This..." The photographer came to her side and told her which keys to press.

Under his guidance, Xiao Lin operated the camera all over, and after making sure he knew how to do it, he picked up the cup and took a sip of water.

the other side.

"After the filming is finished, let's go eat hot pot." Xia Xizhou suggested, standing between An Ran and Sheng Fuhua.

Master Sheng held a glass of warm water and was reluctant to drink it. He used it all to warm his hands. He was very happy when he heard this and said, "No problem!"

An Ran thought for a while and said, "I want to return to grandma's house before 9:30."

"Go back to grandma's house before 9:30?" Xia Xizhou asked, "Where does your grandma live?"

An Ran reported the address and Xia Xizhou nodded, "It's quite close."

Turning her head, she asked the photographer, "Teacher Zhou, how long will we continue to shoot?"

If it was early, she could send An Ran to her grandma's house before 9:30.

"If everything goes well, there will be almost two hours left." Zhou Yong conservatively estimated the time.

Xia Xizhou felt a little rushed, "Can you hurry up?"

"I try to finish half an hour early."

That's pretty much it.

Xia Xizhou thought about it in his mind, then stood up and said to everyone, "We'll finish work later and let's go eat hot pot!"

"Okay!"

On such a cold day, who wouldn’t be tempted by hot pot?

Even Fang Fang, who originally wanted to go back early alone, stayed.
-

At 8:30 in the evening, there was an endless stream of people in the hot pot restaurant, which was only 200 meters away from "Luxury Future". The waiters busily shuttled around the tables, taking orders, delivering dishes, and pouring water for the guests.

Smelling the aroma of various ingredients, the rich aroma of seasonings and the smell of boiling soup base intertwined with each other, the mouth-watering aroma made Xia Xizhou once again praise his cleverness in rushing Xiao Lin to order in advance.

"Let's see, do you want to add more vegetables?" As soon as everyone sat down, there were cooked mutton rolls, beef rolls, beef balls, fish balls and other hard dishes in the pot, which really made people feel hot.

"Eat first, first." Photographer Zhou Yong was already hungry after a busy day. He took off his cotton clothes, picked up his chopsticks and couldn't help but eat meat from the pot.

"Yes, there's not enough for us to add later." The makeup artist and Sheng Fuhua didn't slow down for a few seconds in grabbing the food.

The hot pot in front of several people showed strong flames, and Xiao Lin continuously poured the ingredients on the table into the pot.

"An Ran, you have worked hard today, eat more meat." Only An Ran was busy taking a cloth apron from the waiter and hanging it around his neck.

Xia Xizhou was afraid that this piece would be snatched up in a few seconds, so he picked up the colander in the pot, scooped out a spoonful of the cooked mutton rolls and put it into the empty bowl in front of An Ran, causing Sheng Fuhuazi to scream, "Xia Xizhou" , you put all the mutton rolls in An Ran bowl, what are we going to eat?"

"Isn't that much meat enough for you?" Xia Xizhou looked at him with a speechless expression. "Look at the shelf next to you. They are all filled with all kinds of meat and seafood you want."

"Isn't that immature..." Sheng Fuhua was glared at by Xia Xizhou, but when he saw An Ran standing next to her who had not yet taken off her makeup and was tying her apron unhurriedly, she couldn't help but get scared.

After muttering in a low voice, he turned around and accepted his fate as a waiter. He picked up a plate of fat beef on the shelf next to him, poured it into the pot, and asked carefully, "What else do you want to eat?"

Everyone immediately laughed:

"Xiao Lin, stop being busy, sit down and eat."

"Oh, Master Sheng is serving it himself, I want to eat more!"

"I want to eat cuttlefish!"

"I want to eat fish balls."

"I want to eat shrimp sliders!"

Xia Xizhou scooped up a bowl of solid meat for An Ran and then started scooping out his own. After taking two bites while taking in the heat, he couldn't help but tell her, "Eat more. I'll give it to you when it's ready." Go to grandma’s house and take a hot bath when you get back.”

"I know." An Ran was wrapped in a thick down jacket and didn't take it off even when entering the hot pot restaurant. She was afraid of getting dirty, so she asked the waiter for a bib to hang around her neck.

"Is it still cold?" Xia Xizhou looked at An Ran sitting down to eat seriously and felt that she was really well-behaved. He also thought of how hard she worked during the afternoon filming and couldn't help but want to take better care of her. "How about...I will buy you some cold medicine later and take it back to you. You can take two pills before going to bed at night?"

In the afternoon, An Ran said in the small warehouse that it was really necessary for the film to be released and she could wear a skirt for outdoor scenes.

Unexpectedly, the words came true. Due to the need to combine the location with the product, half an hour before the sun set, she really only wore a skirt and a group of materials were shot for her with Sheng Fuhua, who was wearing a suit.

The photos I took looked really nice from the camera.

While she was happy, she couldn't help but be afraid that An Ran would be frozen for half an hour and would fall ill if she went back at night.

My heart is agitated right now, and I am very worried.

"No need." An Ran picked up the spoon, took out a spoonful of meat rolls floating on the surface of the boiling soup pot, and couldn't tell whether they were beef rolls or mutton rolls, and put it into Xia Xizhou's bowl, "Grandma has some at home. Cold medicine and antipyretic medicine, I’ll take them when I get back later.”

"Okay, okay." Xia Xizhou felt relieved and picked up his chopsticks to eat.

However, after eating a few mouthfuls, I couldn't help but worry about the situation of the film this afternoon, "Teacher Zhou, was the filming of today's film okay?"

"Okay, very okay." Zhou Yong ate beef balls and nodded repeatedly.

He turned to look at An Ran and Sheng Fuhua with a smile, "Our male and female models all performed extremely well today."

A group of people were even happier.

Xia Xizhou's heart was hanging, but then he fell to the ground.

She stood up happily and picked up her cup, "Let's drink to the successful completion of our shooting mission today."

Everyone raised their glasses happily, pushing the hot pot atmosphere to a climax.

After a while, Xiao Lin and Fang Fang, who were happily eating and gossiping, couldn't help but think of one thing:

"Boss, luckily you were smart today and took An Ran and Fu Hua to the location shooting in time. Otherwise, you would all be disgusted."

"What should I say?" The eyes of everyone at the table fell on her.

"Do you still remember the man who was called by Miss An to pay the bill?"

Upon hearing Miss An, the photographer couldn't help but glance at An Ran.

Fang Fang immediately interrupted when he saw it, "Teacher Zhou, don't get me wrong, Miss An is not Miss An."

As soon as she explained, people who didn't notice Zhou Yong's eyes understood that he was a little ignorant. Xia Xizhou took the initiative to explain, "The Miss An that Xiaolin mentioned is an old customer of my store, a very young girl. , and she’s pretty pretty too.”

Sheng Fuhua was confused by what Xiao Lin heard just now, but now he understood. He asked her with gossipy eyes, "Sister, you are talking about the girl in red clothes who stayed in my aunt's shop for a long time in the afternoon. ?”

Zhou Yong focused on the camera and did not notice other people in the store, but Sheng Fuhua had the opportunity to observe the customers in the store.

"Yes, that's her." Xiao Lin stamped her words and continued, "Did you know that when you went out in the afternoon, you were seen by that man from a distance at the door, and then, guess what?"

"He took a fancy to the clothes I was wearing and wanted to buy them?" Sheng Fuhua raised his eyebrows and was the first to answer.

Xiao Lin shook his head speechlessly and amusedly, "Continue!"

It would be great if Sheng Fuhua could come up with one, but then the CPU would burn out and he couldn't think of anything else, so he had to sit back and wait for others to come.

But after everyone else looked at each other, they shook their heads, saying they couldn't guess.

Xiao Lin smiled and pointed his eyes at An Ran, who was eating quietly, "He fell in love with the beauty of our classmate An Ran. He kept pestering me for her contact information in the afternoon and said he wanted to get to know her. It annoyed me. So annoying."

"Ahem..." An Ran was eating a piece of crab leg meat. Just as he was about to swallow it, he heard Xiao Lin's words and choked in shock.

Xia Xizhou next to her was so frightened that she looked for water everywhere. Sheng Fuhua also quickly handed over the orange juice in front of her and refilled her empty glass.

Xia Xizhou picked up the orange, brought it to her mouth personally, and asked her to drink it, "Slow down."

An Ran drank more than half of the cup in one gulp, her throat finally felt better, and she immediately reassured everyone who had just been frightened by her, "It's okay, it's okay."

"It really scared me to death." Xia Xizhou breathed out heavily and looked at Xiao Lin with a speechless and funny expression, "Next time, don't talk about such horrible things at the dinner table, you know?"

"I know." Xiao Lin made a gesture of silence very obediently, "Shut up!"

"No!" Fang Fang and Sheng Fuhua were the first to refuse. Who wouldn't be happy to hear gossip?

"Sister, go on, what's wrong with that man?"

After Xiao Lin glanced at Xia Xizhou, he continued to tell vividly everything that the man did that afternoon.

"Why don't you want a stack of red bills!" Sheng Fuhua wailed, "Can't you just give him a number, take the money, and treat us to delicious food tonight?"

Xia Xizhou raised his hand and greeted Sheng Fuhua, who was sitting next to her, "You are so poor that you need this kind of money!"

"Master Sheng, your acting is too exaggerated!"

Although Xiao Lin doesn't know how rich the Sheng Fuhua family is, he has met his mother, Mrs. Sheng. Every time Mrs. Sheng comes to the store, she travels in a luxury car with a private driver.

With such a noble mother, there is no way her son would be so poor that he would be greedy for money.

"I didn't act!" Sheng Fuhua stood up his head and chest and said his legitimate reason, "I spent the whole afternoon blowing in the cold wind and posing, and my mother paid 599 for styling, and I earned my money back. 200 yuan is not even enough for us to eat this hot pot tonight. Just because that man took one look at the beauty of our Miss An, he was willing to pay you a stack of money to bribe you to ask for her contact information. I think this kind of rich man The money is really free if you don’t take it.”

The two hundred yuan Sheng Fuhua mentioned was the red envelope Xia Xizhou immediately stuffed into his and An Ran's hands when they finished work.

Before An Ran could open it and take a look, Master Sheng had already figured out the amount inside.

"Puch!" Fang Fang couldn't help but covered her mouth and burst into laughter. She thought Boss Xia's nephew was really funny, "Xiao Lin is right. A gentleman likes to get money in a proper way. Some can be taken and some cannot. If you take them, your hands will be dirty." of."

She has seen a lot of such dirty transactions in the circle, and she can only say that she can be respectful but disagrees.

"Did you hear that?" Xia Xizhou threw a quail egg dipped in red oil into his nephew's bowl, "Eat more eggs to replenish your brain! You can think of anything if you save money."

Everyone laughed again.

An Ran's heart sank.

She had doubted that Enron was rich illogically. Now the logic was clear, but it was the way she least wanted to see.

"Sister, that Miss An, do you know where she went to school?" She remembered that in her previous life, Anya had completed high school.

When she was brought back to An's home, she happened to be a senior in high school. Although her grades were not very good, she actually studied in a public school. She and her family never heard of her taking a break from school.

According to predictions, she is now a normal high school freshman.

I just don’t know which school to attend.

Moreover, it is very strange that Anya was found by the An family in her previous life. She had just graduated from high school and came to Jincheng to work. She had not lived in Jincheng before.

Why is it that now, in her first year of high school, she appears in Jincheng?

An Ran felt that meeting Anya this afternoon was like a fog hanging over her head.

"Going to school?" A puzzled look appeared on Xia Xizhou's face, "I haven't asked, maybe she isn't studying."

"She's a student." Xiao Lin interjected firmly, "One time, Miss An came to sell an LV bag. She came with a schoolbag on her back. When she took the receipt from her schoolbag, I saw that she had textbooks in her schoolbag. .”

"Are you really a student?" Xia Xizhou was very surprised.

So far, I have met Anya a few times.

She guessed her age based on her appearance. She is still not sure how old she is. If she knew what grade she was in, she would be able to guess accurately.

"Yes." Xiao Lin was very sure, "Boss, there has never been a time when she was not in her spare time."

"That's true." Every time a customer buys something in the store, they will make an account and register it. It's rare that Xia Xizhou and Xiao Lin see Anya the same number of times, "Can you see clearly which grade her textbook is for? "

"First year of high school." Xiao Lin felt a little regretful and angry because he knew that Anya was still a freshman in high school, hanging out with people in society and making that kind of money.

There was silence at the table, and everyone quickly changed the topic.
-

"It's so comfortable for your grandma to live here." Xia Xizhou was very reliable and drove An Ran to Grandma An's small white building at 9:28.

The north wind was cold and the street lights were dim. The small white building was particularly quiet and beautiful in the night. In the gap between the swaying shadows of the trees, An Ran saw the lights in her room.

“I lived here for a long time as a kid and have always loved the area.”

An Ran had been feeling heavy ever since he heard what Xiaolin said about Anya during the meal, so he hardly spoke during the meal later.

Fortunately, she didn't talk much to begin with and didn't ruin everyone's atmosphere.

"I've been here to see the shop before." It's cold outside and the north wind is blowing, but it's warm inside the car and the heater is on.

The space was narrow, so Xia Xizhou turned his head and looked at An Ran, who spoke in a low voice.

She took off her coat as soon as she got in the car and threw it in the empty back seat. At this moment, her hands were on the black steering wheel, wearing only a black cashmere sweater and a very simple style hanging around her neck. Tiffany necklace.

Her long hair was tied back, and her face with delicate makeup had delicate and three-dimensional features. Her capable and high-end temperament was more calm and restrained than when she was in the store, which was very similar to how An Ran would look when he saw her ten years later.

"Is it the Xingye Road we just walked on?" Grandma's house is located in the real center of Jincheng City. The community has winding paths and is surrounded by mountains and trees.

The city government, hospitals and schools are all within a radius of two kilometers.

The surrounding streets are bustling with commerce. Apart from the lack of new large shopping malls, there are many shops, many brand stores and a dense population.

In addition to various shops on both sides of the street, there are also many small vendors pushing carts to set up stalls near hospitals and schools, selling various foods and daily necessities, so this area is usually very lively both during the day and at night.

The fireworks are full of atmosphere and life is convenient.

Of course, because it is an old community in an old city, its facilities and buildings are also old, and it has no chance of being trendy or aloof.

Even though the house here is a rare single-family villa in Jincheng, Mrs. An still insisted on buying a new villa and moved out in the past few years.

Because she really couldn't bear the fact that she had to go out every day and walk in the strong-smelling smoky fires of barbecues, spicy hotpots and other places along the street.

This area, whether it is an open street or a dark alley, is full of crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and many old shops with good reputations are hidden nearby.

Of course, it's just nearby, not in the neighborhood where grandma's house is.

Grandma's community is a purely residential area. Most of the houses in it are occupied by people. The uninhabited ones have their gates and courtyard doors quietly locked with a lock. Most of the owners of the houses have made enough money or moved. I went to a newer community, or immigrated abroad, leaving only the old houses where I once lived, waiting quietly in place.

Therefore, living here is actually very comfortable if you don't mind the heavy flow of people around.

"No, it's the villa in your grandma's community." Xia Xizhou raised his eyes and looked at the stacks of old villas standing on the mountainside not far away. The regret in his eyes was as rich as the night outside the car, "I originally I want to find a building here to rent and transform it into a residential shop where I can sell things and live in people. However, after searching for a long time, there is no suitable house. The only suitable building is only willing to sell, not rent. "

Therefore, no matter how much she liked this place, she could only give up.

An Ran, who was still in a somewhat mournful mood, was suddenly illuminated by a ray of light, and his eyes instantly burst out with bright light.

She looked at Xia Xizhou with surprise and admiration, feeling that she was really a person with great business intuition.

More than ten years later, Jincheng street shops and small brand stores are no longer visited by people, but Internet celebrity stores with various unique decorations and differentiated products are flocked to and extremely popular.

It is not only popular offline, but also popular online.

The villa area in front of us is now quiet and almost deserted. Later, many houses in the community were rented out, or sold and renovated into Internet celebrity check-in shops and studios, so that the community where the community is located has become the Internet celebrity community in Jincheng .

It's also a nationally famous one.

It has attracted countless e-commerce companies and Internet celebrities who want to make money through new media to attract traffic and come to this community from all over the country to rent houses and transform them into studios and trendy brand stores, using the influence of this area to empower themselves and strive for Bigger and stronger.

Xia Xizhou now has such a vision. He wants to rent a building here and transform it into a residential store for both commercial and residential use. If he really does it, will he become the first person in this community to eat the crab meat of the Internet celebrity economy?

"Why are you looking at me like this?" Xia Xizhou was confused by An Ran's brightening expression.

"Mr. Xia, I really admire your business talent."

"Rainbow Fart has praised me before, so there's no need to praise me anymore." Xia Xizhou laughed, "You want to comfort me because you see that I'm sorry, right?"

"I'm not trying to comfort you." An Ran said in a firm and powerful tone, "I really think you are very discerning in business, very discerning!"

It’s no wonder that she later became one of the top fashion bloggers in China and was eagerly invited to major luxury brand events.

No one can succeed casually, except the chosen one.

Xia Xizhou has signs of being the second one.

Thinking of this, An Ran couldn't help but feel sore.

"Thank you, I know I'm very discerning."

It was his first time to start a business, and he was able to make back his capital in less than three months. Xia Xizhou became more and more confident along the way.

"No! You don't know." After An Ran screamed wildly in her heart, it quickly turned into a calm blessing.

Forget it, I can't be a rich woman, but it's also good to be a rich woman's friend.

——"Is it because you can't afford a house here that you don't open a store here?"

"How can I, a college student who has just started a business, afford a villa?!" Xia Xizhou was heartbroken and sad. "But another reason is that my friend is not optimistic about this place. She said that I should open my store in a downtown area, in a community, and the road It was still so round and round that the guests couldn’t find the door number when they came, so I gave up after thinking about it.”

"..." Sure enough, people with particularly forward-looking patterns and vision are aliens in the eyes of ordinary people at the beginning.

If she hadn't been reborn, she wouldn't have seen the future development prospects of Grandma's community.

Seeing An Ran's silence, Xia Xizhou felt even more sad.

She let out a long sigh and said very heartbroken, "You also think my friend is right, right? I am too naive and only act according to my own ideals and preferences. If the actual conditions did not make me succumb, I might I would really buy that house and open a store here.”

She really likes this community.

I have watched it many times before and I like it every time.

"No, you are not naive at all." An Ran smiled softly, "I think your idea is very good, very avant-garde, very personal, and very practical. Many well-known foreign brand boutiques are not like this. Is it unique and individual?”

"Yes, yes, I think so too." Xia Xizhou, who was originally depressed, gained strength again after hearing An Ran's words, "I really want to build a store like that."

"you can!"

It didn't matter, there were still a few years until Jincheng's housing prices skyrocketed, and she believed that Xia Xizhou would be able to earn enough to buy a villa here before then.

Moreover, as long as she is here, she will help her watch over and remind her that before Internet celebrities flock to Grandma's neighborhood, they can guide Xia Xizhou to buy a house and move a store here in advance. Be the first person in this community to eat crab meat.

As long as Xia Xizhou's preferences don't change, that's fine.

"The environment of my grandma's neighborhood is really good. Every house faces north and south, and is square and square. Not only does it have good lighting, but it also has a good floor plan. I heard people say that a good house layout is good for good fortune. If you are suitable When the time comes, I can really buy a building, renovate it and open a store, maybe it will become famous in Jincheng..."

Not only is it famous throughout Jincheng, but it is also famous throughout the country.

Xia Xizhou didn't think about it peacefully. Now just the thought of being famous in Jincheng was enough to make her extremely excited.

"Right, right~"

After An Ran's encouragement and guidance, she became more determined that her preferences and vision were correct.
-

Sunday.

In an old residential building in Jincheng, a middle-aged woman wearing a purple-red patterned home cotton coat gently opened the door of her daughter's room.

We had just had lunch, it was bright outside, but my daughter's room was dark.

"Linlin, Linlin." She reached out and touched the wall next to her. When she found the door, she pressed it and the room suddenly became bright.

She called several more times, but there was still no response from the room.

He walked gently to the bed and patted the person wrapped in quilt on the bed, "I just finished eating. Sleeping is not good for your stomach."

"Leave me alone." An angry voice came from the quilt.

Knowing that her daughter was still angry, the middle-aged woman reached out to lift the quilt and pulled it a few times, but it didn't move. The woman let go and said, "Take off the quilt. I have something to tell you."

"Go away, I don't want to talk to you."

The woman sat on the edge of the bed, sighed heavily and then slowly said, "Don't be angry with your father. He didn't mean not to give you money. We only have two children in our family, you and your brother. We have two children." If I don’t spend the money on you, who else can I give it to?”

"Hmph! You are willing to buy cod liver oil and various supplements for my brother, but you are not willing to buy a mobile phone for me. You just favor boys over girls. You love him but don't love me." The girl who originally wrapped herself tightly in the quilt lifted the quilt. , sat up from the bed and looked at the middle-aged woman angrily.

"Linlin, I know you are angry, but you can't say that to us." The middle-aged woman's sallow face showed a sad look, "Whenever our family buys things, you are not the first one."

"You talk about equality between men and women, but you don't know what you think in your heart." The girl is Li Lin from Class 2, Grade 3, who went home this weekend.

"What you said really hurt my heart." The middle-aged woman's eyes suddenly turned red with sadness, and she said bitterly, "Growing up, as long as the family has money, your father and I won't buy you anything you want. Your dad loves you the most. When your brother wants something, he always pushes back and refuses. If you ask for it, he will never refuse it, but the new mobile phone is too expensive and our family really can't afford it."

"I don't want a very good mobile phone. For 1299, the most basic one will be fine." Li Lin said angrily, holding her neck.

"Isn't 1299 expensive?" Li Lin's mother's eyes widened. "Your father, brother, and I can't bear to spend so much money on food for a month at home."

"Didn't my dad make money recently?" Li Lin pouted, "Last night I heard him tell you that he earned 110 yuan from running a single motorcycle yesterday, 110 yuan a day, more than 3000 yuan a month, how many days can he earn with a mobile phone? It’s earned.”

"Yesterday I earned 110 because the market was particularly good." Li Lin's mother argued, "It's almost the Chinese New Year, and there are a lot of people coming and going shopping on the street. It's important that there are many people taking your dad's car. On weekdays, your dad is here. You can't earn more than 20 yuan by waiting at the big market for a whole day. Do you know how cold it is to run a motorcycle business now? He gets up at 4:00 every morning to solicit customers. Are you willing to use such hard-earned money to buy a mobile phone?"

Their daughter has been able to read since she was a child, which has always been the couple's heart and aspiration to succeed.

For this reason, the two of them work from early to late on weekdays. No matter what kind of dirty work they are willing to do as long as they can earn money, they do not feel it is hard. They only hope that their daughter will study hard and get into a good university. After that, she will earn money. , let their family live a good life.

They can understand that their daughter is smart, good at reading, high-spirited, and wants to save face.

When I go home on weekends, whenever my classmates at school have something, as long as the couple can afford it, they will try to be satisfied.

This is the phone that my daughter has been talking about for a year. When the couple saw that she really thought about it, they went to a store of that brand to look at it. After seeing it, they didn't dare to go in and look at it a second time.

The new mobile phone my daughter wants is really expensive, far beyond what the couple can afford now.

Besides, if you buy a mobile phone, you still have to pay the phone bill, right?

At least a few dozen a month, which is a lot of money every month.

My child will go to college next year, and the tuition and living expenses will be even more.

Thinking about the huge expenses one after another, the couple had no choice but to refuse.

When they told her before that they couldn't afford a mobile phone, although her daughter was disappointed, she didn't say anything.

I don’t know what happened this time, but I started making a fuss about buying a mobile phone when I got home. I even lost my temper with the couple, saying that I wouldn’t go to school if I didn’t buy a mobile phone. The fuss started when I got home from school on Friday, and it continues to this day. noon.

"Wait until next year, when our daughter goes to college and your health recovers. Let's work hard to make money together and help our daughter buy a new mobile phone. I will take the old one back and continue to use it myself."

Thinking that before going out in the morning, her husband was still thinking about her daughter asking for a mobile phone, the woman couldn't help but sigh in discomfort.

The child's father's mobile phone was the only one in the house that could communicate with the outside world, and he was willing to give it to her.

After talking to my daughter at noon, I originally thought she would be happy, but she didn't expect that she just felt it was old and didn't want her father's old mobile phone. She insisted on buying a new one and bought it now.

This made her father angry, and he said something harsh to her.

My daughter threw the bowl, refused to eat, and locked herself in her room, ignoring no one.

This makes them worried.

Lao Li felt depressed for a while, gave her a few words of advice, then took the motorcycle key and went out to run business.

Originally this morning, he happily leaned on the bedside and said to her: "Today our precious daughter is at home, and she will go back to school tomorrow. I will go out early and run my business in the morning. I will finish work at noon and go home. You In the morning, I go to the market with money to buy a fish and two kilograms of meat for me to cook. The family eats two delicious meals at noon and evening, which replenishes the body and makes them happy."

She bought the vegetables and cooked the rice.

But because of his daughter's trouble, everyone's joy was gone. Lao Li didn't dare to rest anymore. He just put down the bowl and went out for a ride.

"He can go later." Li Lin lowered her head. From her words and tone, she didn't see the slightest hint of concession.

Li Lin's mother looked at her daughter in front of her, and her original sadness turned into anger. "He can go later, but if he goes late, he will make less money. How can our family survive?"

Li Lin closed her mouth and stopped talking.

Li Lin's mother sat by the bed and looked at her daughter with her head lowered for a long time, then softly discussed with her, "Can't you wait until next year?"

"No." Li Lin buried her head in her knees, her voice was small but firm.

"Why can't it be done?" Li Lin's mother was very sad, but she still wanted to try her best to persuade her, "You come back to school once a week. If you have anything important to do, please contact us. The dormitory downstairs has a landline that you can call..."

Li Lin, who originally buried her head in her knees, pulled up the quilt and covered herself again.

He looked like he didn't even want to hear it.

Li Lin's mother's unfinished words were stuck in her throat.

After a long time, she said in a hoarse voice, "The Chinese New Year is just over a month away. I bought you a mobile phone. Our family doesn't have enough money for the New Year."

The sound of tears dripping onto the quilt was infinitely amplified in the room where no one spoke.

After a while, Li Lin closed her eyes and lifted the quilt, "The New Year money is gone, do you still have money to buy supplements for Li Song?"

Li Song, Li Lin’s biological brother.

Li Lin's mother quickly raised her sleeves and wiped her eyes. She waggled her fingers sadly to settle the accounts with her daughter, "Don't you know how much money our family has? Your father works for others in a rolling door factory and only earns 1500 yuan a month. , I will give you 1200 yuan every month to take to school for living expenses, and the remaining yuan will be responsible for our family’s firewood, rice, oil, and salt, as well as my medication, you and your tuition, and other miscellaneous expenses, all year round. , If it weren’t for your dad’s hard work and going for a bicycle ride after get off work, our family wouldn’t even be able to eat.”

Li Lin sneered, "Yeah, I can't eat, but I can buy supplements and cod liver oil!"

Li Lin's mother choked, and then she felt her heart throbbing and painful, which made her originally sallow face turn pale. "You had to buy cod liver oil for your brother, so we bought it for him!

Your father and I finally saved up money at the beginning of the month to take him to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor said that he has poor physical fitness and insufficient nutrition and needs to take supplements. We I just bought it for him to replenish his health..."

Li Lin silently put her head to the side, "But all my classmates in school have mobile phones, but I don't."

"How come they all have mobile phones?" Li Lin's mother said with a thin face, "Your father asked his colleagues and his son didn't have a mobile phone either." 1314
