This meal of boiled fish was never finished.
Ji Mo's hands trembled violently, and a piece of fish required exquisite knife skills. His mood was up and down, and he couldn't handle the knife.
"Come." Shaoyin took his hand and walked into the living room.
When something like this happens, what else are you going to do
Who is in the mood to eat
Pressing Ji Mo on the sofa, sitting next to him, one leg curled up on the sofa, posing, looked at him seriously and said: "Let's make things clear."
Ji Mo wiped away his tears indiscriminately, and finally his vision became clear. Seeing my younger sister's childish little face tensed up, trying to put on a serious expression, I was very upset and felt a little helpless.
"I'll make the meal first." He got up and said.
My sister knows how to love others, and he is very happy to see his dedication. But this matter is not as simple as buying a piece of clothing or picking a pair of shoes, how can it be finished in a while
Seeing that it was getting late, he decided to cook the meal first, so that his sister would not be hungry later.
"No, let's clarify the matter first!" Shaoyin grabbed him and pulled him back to the sofa with a very serious expression, "Sit down, let's have a serious talk!"
Ji Mo was held down by his younger sister, there was nothing he could do, so he sat down and looked at her.
"Brother," Shaoyin cleared her throat, and called him solemnly first, making the atmosphere serious, and then said seriously: "You are admitted to the top 3 institutions of higher learning in the country. If you don't go to school, you will be too serious." Pity!"
"I'm a scumbag at school, and you know how my grades are. If... If mom and dad are still alive today, and only one child can go to school at home, then you should go. Only the promising one should study, and it's the same everywhere. reason."
Ji Mo opened his mouth to say something, but Shaoyin waved his hand, telling him not to say anything, because she hadn't finished yet.
"Now that Mom and Dad are gone, there are only two of us left in the family. Although you are the supporter of the family, everything should be discussed and discussed. This is the family. It is wrong for you to make your own decisions and not go to college!"
Her still childish little face was full of seriousness, and her eyes were extremely persistent, making Ji Mo's chest full. Some touched, some funny, and some stunned.
It turns out that my younger sister has grown up without knowing it. She is no longer the little crying bag who only hugs him and cries for her parents. She has also learned to reason with others.
A sour and itchy feeling gradually grew in his heart, as if something had broken through the ground. He suddenly discovered that he was not fighting alone, he had support, although this support was still very immature, but she stood behind him.
"Okay, then I'll discuss it with you now." He didn't want to disappoint his sister's wishes, so he straightened his posture and discussed with her seriously: "You are fifteen years old, there is no such young child living alone in a The truth of the city. It doesn't matter if I don't go to school, you know I'm smart, I can spare time to study college courses by myself, and take the adult college entrance examination later."
"Besides, even if you don't go to university, you can gain a foothold in society. All roads lead to Rome. I'm so smart, so I can't earn a living if I don't go to school?" He even joked with her, "Believe it or not, even if you study After entering university, you can’t beat me after graduation?”
After making a joke, he became serious again: "Yinyin, my parents are gone. I am an older brother, and I should take responsibility for you. Do you understand?"
He raised his hand to rub her head, as gently as stroking a kitten.
Shaoyin lowered her head and let him touch her head.
When he was talking just now, she didn't interrupt, and she had been listening to him carefully. Now that I understand his thoughts and concerns, I tell him the same thing with my fingers.
"First of all, I can live on campus. High school courses are tight. Even if you don't go to college and stay with me at home, I still have to live on campus. In this way, you only see me once a week."
"Secondly, you said that going to school is not the only way out, but going to university is definitely not as good as it is. Otherwise, why would the country build schools, subsidize them with a lot of money, and encourage young people to study?"
"In the end, my parents are gone. We depend on each other, and we should be considerate of each other, rather than someone unilaterally sacrificing. My brother has already paid a lot for me, and I have to worry about your future."
Ji Mo wanted to speak, but Shaoyin held him down.
"you listen to me."
"If you don't stay, I will die, or something irreparable will happen, then if you stay, you will stay, because there is no way. But I am only in high school, as I said just now, I eat well, If you don’t run around, what can happen? Nothing will happen, why sacrifice your future?”
"I'll be good at school, nothing will happen, and I can make phone calls and videos at ordinary times, what are you worried about?" She frowned, eyes full of disapproval.
What she said made sense, but how could Ji Mo really feel at ease leaving her alone just because what she said made sense
Thinking of his younger sister staying alone in a city and being bullied, he could only endure it, so he didn't want to go to college at all.
"Okay, let's cook." Seeing that he was silent, Shaoyin stood up and pulled him.
Let him digest it slowly, and she didn't expect to convince him all at once.
Ji Mo walked into the kitchen and continued slicing fish.
He didn't shake his hands this time, and quickly finished the fish fillets. Then heat the pan, add oil, pour in the seasoning and stir fry.
The smell of chili was choking, Ji Mo raised his arm and covered his nose to relieve the choking smell, but it still made tears flow out.
But his heart is warm. My sister cared about him and cared about his future, which made the bitter days sweeter, and the tiredness was worth it.
When the boiled fish was ready and the fried pork was served, the brother and sister began to fill their stomachs with the rice.
At this moment, Shaoyin didn't talk too much, and concentrated on eating. Sitting across from her, Ji Mo saw that her little mouth was oily, red and swollen because it was too spicy, she hissed and poured a drink into her mouth, looking like a child.
"Why?" He glanced at her several times, Shao Yin noticed it, and raised her head to ask.
Ji Mo was immediately happy: "Are you quite fierce?"
"It's you who piss people off." Shaoyin said, lowering her eyes and continuing to eat fish fillets.
Ji Mo ate with the chopsticks, feeling sour in his heart.
He lowered his eyelids and couldn't help thinking, why? He is serious and hardworking, and his younger sister is well-behaved and sensible. They are all good children, why are there no parents to protect them
If Mom and Dad were still there, they would not have encountered such a difficult choice today.
He lowered his head, rolling his throat a few times, forcefully suppressing the sourness.
It's useless to be uncomfortable, it's useless to be unfair, and it's useless to think too much. He was already like this, at least he wanted to make his sister's life better, the two of them couldn't both suffer.
"I've decided not to go to college." After the meal, Ji Mo said firmly, "This is my business, and I have the right to make the decision."
It's not that he doesn't discuss with her, it's not that he doesn't treat her as a family member. It was a disagreement between two people, and the final decision was in his hands.
"I'm an older brother, and I'm an adult. I have more right to decide this matter than you." He said without any refutation.
If it was a real fifteen-year-old girl, he would probably cry out of anger.
But Shaoyin didn't cry. She sat at the dining table with one leg crossed, sipping a drink to relieve the spicy taste in her mouth.
"I think you are immersed in your personal heroism complex." After drinking half a glass of drink, she let go of the straw, raised a pair of Wu Lingling eyes, and said to Shang Ji Mo's astonished expression: "You are doing meaningless things. sacrifice."
"I know you love me and make this decision for my own good. But be sensible and don't deliberately make sacrifices, causing our family to suffer unnecessary heavy losses."
She put her hands on her knees, played with the hem of her skirt, and spoke slowly but steadily: "Brother, I'm fifteen years old and I'm going to live in school soon. What's the danger in school? It's a place to study. Could it be something?" Long Tan Tiger Den, this makes you worry? And do you remember, a few of my friends have also been admitted to No. 2 Middle School, and we will take care of each other."
"Let's do the math." She beckoned to him, asked him to sit beside her, and counted with him, "Think about it, how promising will the students from TOP3 colleges be in the future? There will be What a bright future? Four years later, our family will have a super college student. At that time, I will also be admitted to college and will be a freshman."
"My brother can take time to make money during such a high-pressure period in high school. Will he earn less when he arrives at university? I will also find ways to work to earn some money during the winter and summer vacation—"
Ji Mo interrupted her and said, "You don't need to make money, just study hard!"
"Don't interrupt me!" Shaoyin slapped him on the arm, and gave him an angry look, as if to say that you are so disobedient and still control me, "We all make some money, when the time comes Go to the same city, whether I take the test in the city where you live, or you come to the city where I study, in short, we will go together."
"We have some money in hand, plus the 400,000 we saved before, it's no problem to make up a down payment." She counted with her fingers, "If you want to buy a house in the capital, you need to be very, very promising. But no matter what , when the time comes, our family will be just two college students, and the days will be better."
"Then think about it again, if you don't go to college, what will you be like in four years?" She stared at him and asked, insisting that he think about it.
Ji Mo fell silent when asked by his sister who was three years younger.
Needless to say? Children know which one is more promising.
But in fact he underestimated himself. Even if he doesn't go to college, he will be very promising.
But Shaoyin still wanted him to go to college.
She thought of the script. Ten years later, Ji Mo would be a well-known philanthropist with countless donations, and he was the only character who could be tough with the male lead. Whether he went to college or not is not mentioned in the script or how he got started.
But it would not be easy to think about it. He lost his sister, and those days must have been dark and full of thorns.
She hoped that he could live an ordinary life and stop having such a dramatic life. He goes to college, works, has a girlfriend, gets married, and bothers about his sister's future partner, etc. He has the joys and worries of ordinary people.
Those piercing love and hatred are far away from him.
