Xu Yiyang had been brewing the emotions all along the way. As soon as he got home, before he could release them, he suppressed them again because he forgot to pick up his sister.
But this is good, at least my parents won't see me crying for no reason.
If I suddenly come home and see my parents crying like fools, I'm afraid they will be shocked.
Xu Yiyang quickly rode out of the family courtyard and went straight to the direction of No. 3 Middle School, pedaling wildly.
He was riding at a fast pace when he suddenly heard a somewhat sullen voice coming from beside him: "Xu Yiyang!"
It's my sister Xu Yishan's voice!
Xu Yiyang hurriedly pressed the brake, only to find that the car was not so responsive when braking suddenly, so he hurriedly pedaled on the ground with his two feet.
Two streaks of dust immediately came up behind his feet, and the car finally stopped.
Immediately, Xu Yiyang turned his head and saw Xu Yishan, who was wearing a blue and white school uniform, a long ponytail, and carrying a Sailor Moon schoolbag, looking at him with her waist pinched on the sidewalk.
The little girl is already fifteen years old, about 1.63 meters tall, and she is getting more and more beautiful. Her appearance and temperament are sixty-seven points like Han Duoduo in "The Wandering Earth".
When Xu Yiyang saw this little girl, he loved her deeply.
He hurriedly turned around, stepped in front of her, and said with a smile: "I was just about to pick you up, but I didn't expect to meet you here."
Xu Yishan stamped her feet angrily: "Liar! Why did you pick me up from home? I waited for you at school for more than ten minutes and walked several stops!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Xu Yiyang apologized hurriedly and said, "Brother, I was thinking about something today. As I was thinking about it, I drove home in a daze and forgot to pick you up."
After saying that, he asked Xu Yishan in surprise: "By the way, why don't you take the bus home?"
"No money!"
Xu Yishan rolled her eyes at him and said, "You borrowed all my pocket money this month to buy tapes. You said you wanted to buy Michael Jackson's original tape. It costs eighteen yuan, but you don't know how?"
Xu Yiyang really couldn't remember this incident, so he hurriedly laughed and said, "I'm so sorry for wronging you, my good sister. I will never make the same mistake again in the future!"
Seeing that Xu Yiyang had a good attitude in admitting his mistake, Xu Yishan lost a lot of anger, puffed out her cheeks and hummed: "Forget it, since this is your first offender, I will forgive you this time!"
As she said that, she sat sideways on the front bumper of Xu Yiyang's mountain bike, leaning forward, grabbing the handlebars with both hands, and urged: "Go home quickly, I'm starving to death."
"okay."
Xu Yishan's ponytail was tied on Xu Yiyang's face, with the faint scent of strawberry shampoo, making Xu Yiyang feel particularly nostalgic.
During the three years of high school, he drove his sister to and from school almost every day. It was this familiar feeling.
On the way back, Xu Yishan was still muttering dissatisfied: "I shouldn't have listened to your deceit in the first place and gave you my car money to buy this crap. It doesn't even have a back seat, and the bumper of the car is so big on your butt."
Xu Yiyang blurted out: "When I get back, I will buy you a lady's Giant, the pink one."
Xu Yishan snorted: "I'll knock you off. The kind of car you mentioned costs five or six hundred at least. Where did you get the money?"
"I'll make money if I can." Xu Yiyang said, "You still don't believe in your brother?"
Xu Yishan snorted and said, "I don't believe you. You owe me a total of three hundred and sixty-seven yuan and fifty cents now. Please pay me back the money first."
"I'll go, why do you owe so much?"
Xu Yiyang said subconsciously.
His family's family conditions are very average, and he and his sister have very limited pocket money.
In this way, my sister can lend him more than three hundred yuan, which is really not a small amount of money.
It is enough to see how much this little girl Xu Yishan spoils her.
Xu Yishan said nervously at this time: "Xu Yiyang, don't think about defaulting on your debt. In the past few years, you have been like a brave man who only borrows money but never pays it back. I have recorded every dime in my account book."
Xu Yiyang felt ashamed. It seemed that as an elder brother, he had often cheated on his younger sister in the past.
As for the little girl Xu Yishan, she has been sensible since she was a child. If her parents gave her one yuan, she would not even spend fifty cents. She basically saved all the money she had.
When Xu Yiyang was a child, she always said that she was a little money-lover and a rich woman, and she was very picky about herself, but she was so generous to him, her brother, as if she was a different person.
In my impression, all I need to do is ask my sister to borrow money, and she will definitely give it to him as long as she has it.
Although every time he gave money, he would inevitably say something bad about himself, making it seem as if he was extremely reluctant, but in fact he had never refused him even once.
It's embarrassing to say that in Xu Yiyang's impression, his sister never spoke to him, reached out her hand, or complained to him in the years that followed.
Later, after he succeeded in starting his own business and his sister was divorced and became a single mother, he helped her open a bilingual kindergarten in Yingzhou.
Before that, my sister was divorced and took care of her children by herself, and she had to take care of her parents, and she never asked her brother for help.
Looking back on the past, he felt guilty as much as he loved Xu Yishan.
Xu Yishan didn't know what her brother was thinking. She turned around to see his eyes swaying from side to side, and said with a pout, "Xu Yiyang, you don't really want to default on your debt, do you?"
"how could be!"
After Xu Yiyang came to his senses, he immediately said generously: "Don't worry, I will pay you back the money as soon as possible and buy you a Giant. Aren't you going to take the high school entrance examination in the second half of the year? I need to give you a good car." .”
Xu Yishan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said happily: "Forget it, you are going to college soon. The tuition is so expensive, and it is not easy for our parents to make money. I'd better save some money, and you will cherish this car." OK, when you go to college and leave, I will continue to ride your car."
Xu Yiyang couldn't help but sigh: "I am so lucky to have such a good sister like you and your brother."
"Tch!" Xu Yishan smiled, but still curled her lips deliberately and muttered: "I'm telling you, stop flattering me."
Xu Yiyang hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "This is not flattery, it is completely from the bottom of my heart!"
…
When I took my sister home, my parents had already prepared a meal and were waiting for the brother and sister.
My parents cooked two dishes, one stir-fried with shredded green peppers and potatoes, one with fried eggplant, and a pot of tomato and egg soup.
They were all very ordinary home-cooked dishes, but Xu Yiyang had a huge appetite for them.
Being able to return to the dilapidated old house and have a family of four sitting together for dinner, Xu Yiyang felt that God really treated him well.
He couldn't help but swear in his heart that in this life, he would never let his mother, father, and sister have to work as hard as they did in his previous life.
Especially my mother, I must not let her repeat the mistakes of her previous life.
At the dinner table, my parents chatted with each other.
Xu's mother sighed and said: "The garment factory has not been very profitable recently and has to lay off a lot of people. A small worker like me who is not good at his crafts and can only work as a junior worker may only be able to work until the end of the year. After the new year, he will not be able to Keep doing it.”
Father Xu asked in surprise: "Can't the factory survive?"
"Yes." Xu's mother said: "There are fewer and fewer orders, and we have been unable to make ends meet during this period."
Xu's mother said, and then said with emotion: "But Director Li is a very kind person. He said that when the wages are paid before the end of the year, he will give an extra two hundred yuan to those of us who have been fired, as compensation."
"Hey, Director Li is indeed a good man! He is such a nice person, why not let him earn more money?"
As Father Xu said, he couldn't help but sigh, but his face persuaded him indifferently: "It's okay. If you can't go, I won't go. I just happen to have a rest at home."
While serving Xu Yishan some food, Xu's mother answered, "How can that be done? My son is about to take the college entrance examination, and our daughter is about to go to high school. Our family will have a lot of money to spend in the future. The tuition for college is expensive, and the tuition for high school is too high." It’s not cheap either! It costs a thousand dollars in a year, and it’s hard for you to do anything just by yourself!”
