Chapter 2
When Ling's mother came in and asked her to eat, she had just finished memorizing the vocabulary of two units and hadn't studied for a long time. She felt a little dizzy and her temples were still a little swollen. Improve the efficiency of reading.

Father Ling has already come back from get off work, washed his hands and sat at the dining table waiting for dinner. When he saw Ling Xiaoxiao came out, he hurriedly greeted him: "Da Baoer is here. I heard from your mother that you read a book all day today. Why are you working so hard? We just did it. After the operation, you should rest more, and don't worry about reading."

Father Ling has always pampered his daughter, holding it in the palm of his hand for fear of melting it in his mouth, he was reluctant to say a word, seeing his daughter read and studied as soon as she got home from the hospital was very distressing, and she was afraid that she would rest not good.

Ling Xiaoxiao grinned at Dad Ling's worried eyes: "Don't worry, Dad, I'm fine. The doctor also said that I'm young and healthy so I can recover quickly. Besides, it's not a major operation. I just lie down and have nothing to do so I can watch more." Reading books will save you from not being able to keep up in the next semester."

My daughter said so, and Ling's father is the kind of master who thinks that what the daughter says is right, so he couldn't help nodding: "Well, you are right, then take a look if you are bored, don't be tired Just arrive. If you feel that your body can’t keep up, tell your mother and let her make up for you.”

Ling Xiaoxiao nodded with a black face, and Ling's father looked at it and grinned stupidly.

For dinner, Ling Ma cooked very simple, light and easy-to-digest dishes, but stewed a big pot of pork rib soup and coaxed Ling Xiaoxiao to drink two big bowls. After eating, Ling Xiaoxiao felt that her belly was about to burst .

Going back to the room and lying on the bed, she picked up the English textbook and continued to recite vocabulary. The sound of the TV and the occasional laughter of her parents came from the not-so-soundproof door. She suddenly felt that everything in front of her was very good.

At just six o'clock the next day, Ling Xiaoxiao woke up to the sound of the alarm clock. Originally, she had planned to make the decision earlier, but because she had to take care of her body just after the operation, otherwise she would definitely get up at five o'clock, read a book and go for a run. .

I still read the vocabulary from the Chinese textbook, and just after memorizing the vocabulary of a unit, Ling's mother pushed the door open and asked her to wash up and have breakfast.

The worst thing about living in a bungalow is that there is no bathroom. The type of the old house is not good. It is just a big suite with a living room and a kitchen. Ling Xiaoxiao’s current small room is still an illegal building built by Ling’s father with bricks. It’s all done like this, and no one checks it. I wash up in the small pool in the kitchen to make do, but the big and small ones have to go to the public toilet. The public toilet in this meeting is not the kind of flushing that was later, so the smell still has a visual effect, uh. . . . .

When Dad Ling built a small room for Ling Xiaoxiao, he also built a small toilet in the yard. It was okay in summer, and the water flowed smoothly, but in winter, it was extremely cold in the north and the pipes would freeze if they were not dug deep enough. Their kind of pipeline is the kind that is not deep enough.Fortunately, it will still be summer, Ling Xiaoxiao sat on the toilet and couldn't stop comforting herself.

Mama Ling made breakfast and went to work. Mama Ling’s factory is a sugar factory, which is basically shut down in summer, and can only start producing sugar in autumn when the beets planted by farmers are harvested. However, the efficiency has not been good these years, and it has been losing money year after year. state.When work is not started in summer, everyone can only get a basic salary of a few hundred yuan. Ling Ma will go to the factory to report a report, and she can go home after staying for a while.

After breakfast, Ling Xiaoxiao cleaned the dishes and chopsticks little by little, then went back to her room to continue reading, but before she could memorize a few ancient prose, there was a knock on the gate of the yard, and then a familiar voice came. loud.

The advantage of living in a bungalow is that you can have a small yard. Ling's father and Ling's mother planted cucumbers, beans, eggplants, and peppers in the yard. Basically, they planted a little of the vegetables that are often eaten in summer in the north. Pull out the bean seedlings and cucumber seedlings and plant green onions, and pull them directly from the ground when they are eaten in winter.

Walking through the yard full of vegetables and coming to the gate, Mama Ling locked the gate when she left, so now Ling Xiaoxiao took the key and just opened the gate from the inside, when Xu Xiaoying pushed the door open and walked in.

"Oh, Xiaoxiao, you are too mean. Why didn't you tell me about such a major operation? If my mother hadn't heard people mentioning it in the factory, I still wouldn't know about it." Xu Xiaoying complained and told me After entering his own house, he closed the door and pulled the latch skillfully, then walked back with Ling Xiaoxiao supported.

Entering Ling Xiaoxiao's small room, Xu Xiaoying quickly opened her backpack and took out a few small books the size of a palm, and then whispered in Ling Xiaoxiao's ear mysteriously: "This is my cousin from college. The novels I brought back from here are really good-looking, I have read all of them, and the male protagonists in them are so handsome."

As he said that, he stuffed a few novels into Ling Xiaoxiao's hands: "You have to take care of it for a while after the operation, and you can't go out during this period, so you can read this at home, and I will bring it to you after you finish reading it." A few books, my cousin brought me a lot, even when she left."

Looking at the small book the size of a palm in her hand, Ling Xiaoxiao felt mixed feelings. It was the same way back then when she had just finished the operation and was bored at home. All of them are addicted, deeply immersing themselves in each book, watching the male protagonists in it are either evil and crazy, or black-bellied and evil, or noble and cold. . . . .While fantasizing that he is the female pig's feet in the book, he sinks.

Now looking back at the Taiwan words back then, such a small booklet actually didn’t contain many things, it just gave the young girl who had just started a love fantasy a kind of fantasy about love.

Putting the book back into Xu Xiaoying's hands, she will definitely not make the mistakes of the past again, nor can she watch her good friend fall a little bit further: "Xiaoying, we will be in the third year of junior high school next semester, you and I It’s not easy to get into No. [-] Middle School (a key high school in the county), so let’s study hard, we won’t have time to read these books when we go to college.”

However, I won't watch it again when I go to college, Ling Xiaoxiao silently added in her heart.Where is that person's footsteps so easy to follow.

Xu Xiaoying looked at the little book that had been stuffed back again, and was stunned for a while before she said, "Xiaoxiao, have you read these books?"

Just as Ling Xiaoxiao was about to nod her head, she thought that she hadn't seen it in this life, so she quickly shook her head. Seeing her shake her head, Xu Xiaoying had the expression that I guessed: "I saw that you just said that because you haven't seen it. You say these novels are really good to read, you will know after reading it, I guarantee that you will want to read the next one after finishing one."

Ling Xiaoxiao had a headache. She knew Xu Xiaoying's stubborn temper very well. If she didn't agree today, she would be able to groan until night.

"Alright then, put these books next to me and I'll read them again when I have time."

Hearing what she said, Xu Xiaoying quickly put the book next to the pillow and winked at her with a smirk.
