Father Lin came back very early today, and he bought a fish in a very good mood.
As soon as he entered the door, he smiled and handed the fish to his wife, who came over after hearing the news, "If you make this fish, those two children will love to eat fish."
Mother Lin took it, but there was not much joy on her face: "Shi Xing said she wanted to continue school."
Father Lin was stunned for a moment.
He and Mother Lin live in the same village, and the living environment is naturally similar. Although he has now moved to the city, due to the level of contact, Father Lin's concept is the same as that of his wife, and it has never changed.
A seventeen-year-old girl, it's time to get married, what else should she study? What's the use of studying now, what if she is a college student? He is now in the wood factory, isn't that accountant a college student? Working overtime every day, the wages earned are not as much as those of the masters in the factory.
"What's the matter with this kid?"
He muttered something complaining, but he didn't mean to blame.
In the eyes of Lin's father, Lin Shixing was still a child. It's normal for a child to be ignorant and have some strange thoughts.
I haven't grown up yet, when I grow up, I will naturally figure it out.
So he said, "It's okay, if we don't give her money, she won't be able to make a fuss. I've been busy with her work these days when I'm outside. You don't know, I'll find her a particularly good job and sit in the office. , is not tired, four or five thousand yuan a month, work is also leisurely, find a husband's family, have a baby, and when life is comfortable in the future, she will know that we are doing it for her."
Lin's father thought of it for granted. He never thought that his daughter would resist or disagree. After all, he has been in charge of the house for so many years, and the family has always been what he said and what the children did, even Shi Heng, who had always been stubborn and playful. Be nice to him.
Mother Lin didn't think so.
Carrying the fish, she couldn't hide the worry in her eyes: "I think it's a little troublesome, she insists that she wants to participate in some singing competition, and I don't allow her to go, she will search for life, jump off the building, and commit suicide with a knife , If Shi Heng hadn't found out, he might be in the hospital now."
"His dad, I think Shixing is serious this time..."
Father Lin still didn't take it seriously, and even felt that Mother Lin was fooled by the child.
"How can Shixing have the courage? I guess it's just to scare you. Children are like this, full of ghost ideas. Let's show our attitude. She finds that she has nothing to talk about, so she will behave herself."
"But… "
"Okay, alright, hurry up and cook the fish. When I was having dinner, I told Shi Xing that she is sensible, talk to her well, maybe she will listen."
As for what would happen if he didn't listen, Father Lin also had a bottom line.
No matter how disobedient she is, that is their daughter. If she doesn't give money, she will be obedient even if she is disobedient.
Mother Lin was worried about cooking, because she had something in her heart, and the dishes were too salty and salty. It looked normal when they were placed on the table.
A family of four, Lin's father suffered a lot when he was a child. He was not picky about food, and he would eat what he was given. After Lin Shixing was called out, he buried his head and ate in a silent voice. , I can't taste it at all, let alone.
Lin Shiheng, the only serious eater in the family, threw his chopsticks away after taking a few bites.
"There's no place to put too much salt in the house? You're going to kill me!"
Mother Lin was interrupted by her son's dissatisfied voice, and suddenly came back to her senses: "Ah, oh, I'll pour it back into the pot and add some MSG to taste."
"Hurry up, let me die."
Lin Shiheng pushed a few plates towards his mother very rudely, his face full of dissatisfaction and impatience.
Father Lin couldn't bear to see him like this, so he frowned and reprimanded: "What's bland! It's just a little salty, just drink more water!"
"I'm about to break my tongue, how can I eat this meal!"
The son who was spoiled by him was not afraid of him at all, so he took his hand back and said, "Don't eat it, don't eat it."
It was neither big nor small, and the veins on Father Lin’s forehead were throbbing, but even so, when he saw that face that looked similar to him, and was many times more handsome than when he was young, the anger in his heart still disappeared. few.
He let out a breath and slowed down his voice: "What if you don't eat, didn't you always call back at school and say you want to eat your mother's food? It's a rare holiday, so eat more."
Mother Lin stood up, "I'll make it lighter."
Lin Shixing watched this scene coldly. She was used to her parents' attitude towards her brother being completely different from her own. Even if she was jealous in her heart, even if she was uncomfortable with this different treatment, she still wouldn't show it.
But now, after saying those words, Lin Shixing's mentality has changed.
She still can't easily abandon her family, and she can't be unaffected by them at all, that's because deep down in her heart, these are still her parents.
Even if they are not as good to her as her brother, it is impossible for them to feel a little warmth and affection from childhood to adulthood.
So she can't let go.
The episode at the dinner table didn't delay Father Lin's thoughts about what his wife said before, and while the dishes were being taken away, he put down his chopsticks and looked at his daughter: "Shi Xing, I heard from your mother that you don't want to go to work, you want to continue go to school?"
"Ok."
Lin Shixing lowered his head and stared at the chopsticks in his hand: "I have good grades. The teacher said that I will definitely get into a good university, and I will also work part-time to earn tuition and living expenses without having to pay from home."
Father Lin keenly saw that something was wrong with this sensible daughter. He paused, and suddenly noticed that his thigh had been hit by the son sitting next to him, and he looked up subconsciously.
Lin Shiheng pointed at his younger sister who was burying her head and didn't look at anyone, and put his hand on his neck, rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue, in a hanging posture.
Lin's father still frowned. As the pillar and head of the family, he was not afraid of his child's threat of suicide.
Because he didn't take it seriously at all.
Just like Mother Lin, Father Lin would also take care of himself when it comes to the education of the children at home. Thinking of when he was seventeen years old, he lived such a hard life that he never thought of committing suicide. Lin Shixing eats well every day. Drink good and enjoy a good life, how can you commit suicide.
It's just a ploy to scare parents.
Father Lin thought clearly, his face turned cold, and he slapped the table with a slap: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, if you think you're pretending, your mother and I can agree to this? The matter has been decided, you go to work first, I have already talked about it, sitting in the office, it is four thousand five hundred a month at the beginning, and it will increase over time, and one day off a week, even if you graduate from college, you may not find it so good. work, ignorant!"
"immature… "
Lin Shixing murmured these three words, raised his head, looked at his father with tears on his face, and asked in a trembling voice, "Dad... Do you have to do this?"
"How are we? We're not for you. If you weren't my daughter, I wouldn't be bothered. I'll tell you Lin Shixing, put away your crying, and eat quickly. I'll take you to the factory and learn from others."
Lin Shixing put down his chopsticks.
Gently, effortlessly.
She wiped away her tears with the back of her hands, her red and swollen eyes met her father's gaze, and her clear and hoarse voice sounded slowly: "During the holiday, I will work part-time to make money, and I will go to school as soon as school starts, and I will have food and lodging. School, don't ask you for a penny, if you are not willing, you can come to the school to make trouble, I will sit on the ground crying, call the whole school, tell them our home address, your name and factory address, By then, our family will be waiting to become famous.”
Father Lin was stunned by what she said, and after reacting, he stood up abruptly: "Look at what you say, what it looks like! Who taught you!"
The initiator, Lin Shiheng, sat obediently.
Lin Shixing's face was expressionless, but the hands under the table were shaking: "The barefooted are not afraid of those who wear shoes, I don't depend on my family, and I don't take your money. If you don't let me go to school, the whole family stays together. It's humiliating, I'm not afraid of anything now anyway."
"Good! Good!! You're not afraid of anything! You're not afraid of anything, are you?!"
The Lin family seldom used sticks, but today's father Lin was really angry, thinking that he was relying on relationships everywhere, and finally found a good job for his daughter. In the end, she repaid herself like this, standing up and raging in the room. He glanced around, picked up a broom and was about to rush over to fight.
"I have to kill you, this unfilial daughter today!!"
"Hey Daddy Daddy!!!"
Lin Shiheng, who was watching the play quietly by the side, rushed up and hugged his waist from behind to prevent him from coming forward, "What are you doing, you, Lin Shixing is skinny and has no flesh on his body, You didn't kill him directly after being beaten like this!"
Mother Lin, who looked out from time to time in the kitchen to see what was going on, quickly ran over to hold Father Lin: "His father, talk to you, talk to the child well, what are you doing?"
"Don't pull me! Look at what she said, as if we were hurting her. I have to teach her a good lesson today!"
"Dad, teach you a lesson and teach you a lesson. Put this broom on top first, ah, mother, hold him! What are you doing, Lin Shixing, hurry up and hide in the room and lock the door!!"
The three made a fuss, only Lin Shixing, his face was calm, but his eyes were full of tears, watching this scene quietly and sadly.
An angry father, a dragging mother, a brother who is not in a good relationship but also stands up at a critical moment.
This is her family.
Her despair does not lie in the indifference and injustice of her family.
But even if they treat her like this, they still love her.
Sometimes Lin Shixing really hates this love. If she finds out that they don't love her, she can give up everything and walk away, but the reality is that she knows they love her and she loves them too.
Because of this love, even if she hates, quarrels, suffers, and despairs, she still can't let go of this family.
It was as if the whole person was split in half, and the pain was unbearable.
Lin Shixing was dizzy for a while, and she almost couldn't stand. She looked at the parents opposite her, and asked softly:
"Dad, Mom, let me ask you, am I your daughter or an accessory?"
"You child."
Mother Lin hurriedly replied: "Of course you are our daughter, Shixing, don't irritate your dad, hurry up and go into the house, Mom will tell your dad about school."
"Say what to say!!"
Lin's father was in a fit of anger, and he directly fought for his wife and children. He stepped forward and raised his broom to beat him down.
The broom stopped in mid-air. Father Lin looked at his daughter, who was raising her face with no fear at all. She was staring at herself with bright eyes swollen from crying, and she couldn't move the broom.
In the end, he lost the broom, shoved his daughter roughly into her own room, and locked the door with a key outside.
"You are not allowed to eat today! Give me a good reflection in the house, and I will take you to the factory tomorrow!"
After such a fuss, he didn't have the heart to eat anymore, so he left a word of irritability and stopped eating, and went to the balcony.
Lin Shiheng looked at his mother: "Mom, let's continue eating."
It was a good family of four, but in the end there were only two people eating. Mother Lin was absent-minded and went to wash the dishes after eating.
She has the habit of dancing in the square. Originally, something happened at home today and she didn't want to go downstairs, but was urged by Lin Shiheng to push out the door.
As soon as Mother Lin went out, Lin Shiheng immediately found the key and opened the door, shouting like a thief.
"Hey! Lin Shixing!"
Lin Shixing was sitting on the bed holding his knees, staring blankly at the tree outside the window, when he heard the sound, he turned around, revealing red and swollen eyes.
"Let's go, get up, I'll help you find the bottom, and you'll be listening secretly."
Lin Shiheng pulled her up and took her all the way to the balcony door. With a mute gesture, he whispered, "You hide here, I'll go to the balcony."
Lin Shixing nodded silently, watching his brother who was two years older than him pushed open the balcony door and entered.
Father Lin is smoking.
There were at least five cigarette butts in the dustpan next to him, and it could be seen that Lin Shixing's incident had seriously affected his mood.
"dad."
Lin Shiheng shouted, and leaned against the railing like his father, looking at the sky outside: "My sister wants to go to school, you can let her go to school, our family is not really poor and can't afford the tuition."
"You don't understand, it's useless for girls to go to school."
"Why is it useless, it's not the old society, Dad, I know, my family, my sister and I, you have always loved me more, but my sister is also called your parents, and is also your child, the family is not difficult enough The point of dropping out of school, our family, I went to college with poor grades, she dropped out of school for the first time in this grade, what do you want her to think?"
"She likes to think what she wants. I raised her so much, and I'm still sorry for her??"
Father Lin took a deep breath and exhaled: "You children are ignorant and don't know the situation, so let me tell you like this, your sister is seventeen years old this year, she has completed the college entrance examination for eighteen years, and she is twenty-two in the fourth year of college. Can she talk about friends when she's in school? That must be graduation talk."
"At that time, she will have to find a job, which is the kind of salary I am looking for for her now, and then get married again, get pregnant again, get pregnant for ten months, and have a child after birth. Do you know how tiring it is to have a child? Why doesn't your mother go to work? It's not to take care of the two of you. When you were young, she could wake up six or seven times a night. Either she went to work while taking care of the child, and was half tired, or she gave up work to take care of the child and waited until the child was older. Now, she wants to go back to work again. A person who hasn't worked for several years is getting old. Who wants her? Even if a company wants her, how can the salary be so high?"
"And I'm not fooling you. It's not easy for girls to find a job. If you find a job, you will encounter a lot of things. You say, go to work well, what unspoken rules are, the boss is indecent, go out for a drink, your sister She's good-looking, and she's 80% likely to come across these things. When talking about a client, they have to chew their tongues behind their backs in bed...cough."
Remembering that it wasn't a gossip friend but a son in front of him, Lin's father stopped in time and changed his mouth: "The tongue-chewing was discussed by improper means, and your mother said that she wanted to participate in a singing competition. She knows that there are many entertainment circles. Is it dangerous? Drugs, x-products, everything, do you think we can rest assured? My mother and I don’t expect you to be successful, just be ordinary, and you will be safe for a lifetime.”
"It's hard to find such a good job if I miss it. If it wasn't for her good, I could hear that there was such an opportunity, and I would beg my grandpa to tell my grandma to let her keep it?"
Lin Shiheng still looked like he didn't take it seriously: "Dad, what you said is too extreme, it's not her fault that Lin Shixing is good-looking, you can't just cut off the present for the bad things that may happen in the future. Bar?"
"Besides, you are obviously doing it for her own good, although this point of view is very wrong, then you tell her that it can't be done, hide it, and those who don't know think she is not your own."
"What do you know, child, it's alright, the wind is so strong, and it's broken again, go into the house."
How could Father Lin be willing to be soft with his children? The education and experience he received since he was a child will never allow him to do so.
So go straight to the chase.
"Oh."
Lin Shixing didn't bother, "Then I've entered the house, Dad, are you not?"
"No, I'll smoke a little more, okay, go in quickly."
Father Lin angrily threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the dustpan, and took out another cigarette and put it in his mouth.
Lin Shiheng opened the balcony door and went out, and saw Lin Shixing squatting on the ground with his mouth covered and crying.
He dragged her into the house.
He hugged his sister's shoulder, patted it lightly, and said impatiently, "Okay, don't cry."
Lin Shixing didn't have the heart to bother with his tone anymore.
She leaned tightly against her brother's arms, tears wet his clothes, choking on and off, "I think... I want to go, I really want to go... I like, like to sing, brother, I really want to go... "
"Go, go, go today."
Lin Shiheng patted her shoulder.
"Don't cry. When have you been so soft on me since you were a child? I'm panicking when you cry."
"I said to you, you should have some savings in your hand, you can just run away, why don't you ask your parents for their opinions, our generation and their generation are separated by either a water ditch or a sea trench, and you are crying to death today. , they won't agree."
Lin Shixing kept crying and hiccupping, sobbing: "But I, hiccup, I'm not yet an adult, if they go to catch me back... hiccup... I still can't go."
"Why are they doing this, why are they… hic! They say it's good for me, but also bad for me, why, just because I'm a girl? Just because… hic! Aren't I a son? Why can't they be nice to me? , can't be like the parents of other people's daughters..."
She was crying so hard, as if she was about to faint in the next moment.
Lin Shiheng could only pat her shoulders and back to reassure her: "Don't worry, parents are rigid in their minds, think about it, if they suddenly greeted you, your first reaction must be that they are evil. Right?"
"That's it, you go to the competition. After you win, you become famous and earn as much money as you want. After you get married, you have another daughter. When you think about how good your parents are, you will have something for her. How good, how is it?"
"Ok!"
Lin Shixing responded with a crying voice, and said with a thick nasal voice: "I want three daughters."
"Go, go, go."
"If it was a boy, I would teach him to be humble and polite and take care of the sisters."
"Good good."
"You can't be like you, always bullying me."
"Hey, I said, do you have no conscience? Who is here to comfort you? Are all my clothes wet from your tears? Hurry up, pack your clothes, and get your ID."
Lin Shixing stood up with swollen eyes, still a little confused: "Where are you going?"
"Nonsense, take you to the competition!"
Twenty minutes later, Lin Shixing and Lin Shiheng, who were still stunned, stood by the window together.
"Remember, when we were kids, we sneaked down from here to play."
Lin Shiheng's expression was nostalgic: "At that time, I let you go down first, and then I called my parents to get up and catch you. What a wonderful childhood."
Lin Shixing gritted his teeth silently and endured.
"So we're going down here?"
"Stupid you, mom is not here, dad is on the balcony, and no one is looking at the door, why don't you go to the window if there is a door?"
Lin Shiheng glanced at his sister in surprise, as if looking at a terrifying fool.
Lin Shixing: "…"
When she saw that her unreliable brother had finished speaking, she tore a piece of paper and danced on it.
【Dear Mom and Dad:
The family quarrel made my heart hurt and the pain was unbearable. The world is so big. I want to go and see it. This should be considered as running away from home. I also took my sister with me. I decided to take her to the Philippines. I heard that there A lot of black workers can make a lot of money. The boat has been found, and we will leave tonight. It is considered a smuggling. Maybe you will not be able to contact us in the short term, or maybe in this lifetime, our family will be separated for life. Not to see each other, but it's okay, my sister and I will miss you forever.
- Love you Shiheng everyone loves to read 00
↑The above is fake. In fact, we are just going to participate in the competition. The mobile phone is always unblocked, the money is on the body, the documents are complete, and there is no black car.
Wouldn't it be easier for you to just go to the competition than to run away from home in the Philippines and never come back
I saw a call back, huh~]
