After the gong sounded in the afternoon, the educated youth spot quickly returned to silence.
Lin Nianhe sat by the window, holding a copy of the college entrance examination questions and lost in thought.
The difficulty of the college entrance examination questions is just right for high school students, but it is obviously too difficult for college students.
Lin Nianhe couldn't help but feel a strong sense of pride.
She used to be able to do such difficult things!
She is so amazing...
After praising himself, Lin Nianhe took out his junior high school mathematics textbook.
Don't ask, it's the law of conservation of energy. The moment she stepped out of high school, she gave all her knowledge back to the teacher to educate the next generation.
Fortunately, the knowledge is lost, but the brain is still there.
She spent two hours awakening her mathematical memory. When she was trying to practice her math test paper for the high school entrance examination, she vaguely heard footsteps approaching from far away.
With a wave of his hand, the textbooks on the table were put into space. Lin Nianhe picked up a newspaper and read the newspaper with his feet shaking like a normal person.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, sounding a bit slow and weak.
"That...Lin Zhiqing..."
Miao Yulan's weak voice sounded from the window.
As if he had just discovered her, Lin Nianhe put down the newspaper and looked up at her: "Is something wrong?"
Miao Yulan had just woken up, and her fever had gone away. Although her face was still pale, she was a little angry.
She licked her chapped lips and said softly: "I'm sorry about yesterday."
Lin Nianhe twitched his lips: "It's okay."
"There are medicines... thank you." Miao Yulan looked at Lin Nianhe nervously.
Perhaps the high fever evaporated some of the water in her brain, but Miao Yulan looked much normal at this moment.
Lin Nianhe shook his head gently: "It's okay."
She didn't want to meddle in other people's business, she just wanted to answer the questions.
Miao Yulan had no intention of leaving. She stood outside the window, wringing her fingers and asked, "Can you talk to me?"
Seeing her miserable appearance, Lin Nianhe had to restrain himself from answering the questions and nodded: "Okay, let's go to your place."
"OK."
Miao Yulan nodded and took Lin Nianhe to the front yard with one step at a time.
Miao Yulan sat awkwardly on the kang and was silent for a long time. When Lin Nianhe was about to fall asleep, she said, "Lin Zhiqing, do you look down on me?"
Lin Nianhe yawned and replied, "No."
Her reaction made Miao Yulan a little overwhelmed. She looked at her blankly, and her eyes began to turn red again.
"I haven't paid much attention to you, let alone looking down on you."
Miao Yulan: "..."
The excitement that had just brewed suddenly disappeared.
Lin Nianhe sat on the rickety chair, crossed his feet and continued: "I don't like to meddle in other people's business, and I don't like to gossip. If you want to talk, I can listen."
Miao Yulan opened her mouth, but in the end she couldn't help the bitterness in her heart and softly told her story.
Her original name was Miao Laidi.
After his younger brother was born, the old man in the family secretly told Miao's mother that his younger brother lacked wood in the five elements. Miao's mother was afraid that her son would have a rough life, so she changed the names of several sisters to names with flowers and plants.
Like all girls of the "Di" generation, the Miao Yulan sisters were taught to dedicate everything to their younger brothers.
The delicious food belongs to his younger brother, and the cotton fabrics are made of his younger brother's clothes. Naturally, it is also the same for going to school... If the street office hadn't kept an eye on her, Miao Yulan would never have been able to go to school.
"Lin Zhiqing, I'm different from you. If my mother hadn't wanted a son, I wouldn't have been born." Miao Yulan's eyes were red and swollen, and she looked at Lin Nianhe with a particularly empty look, "My mother said, my life It’s what my brother gave me.”
Lin Nianhe saw the epitome of many girls in her.
Countless "Miao Laidi" have been delayed in their lives by their ignorant parents.
They will get married and have children with this idea, and then continue to perpetuate this tragedy and educate more "Miao Laidi"...
Lin Nianhe looked at Miao Yulan with a hint of caution in his eyes: "You don't want to borrow money to pay for your brother's betrothal gift, do you?"
Miao Yulan hurriedly shook her head and said, "I can't afford to pay it back if I don't want to borrow it... You know, before today, I had never eaten millet porridge."
"When I went to the countryside, my mother gave me five yuan."
"Five dollars...that's the most money I've ever gotten in my life."
"Lin Zhiqing, you said we are children from the same family, why is the gap so big? Just because I am a girl and cannot continue the family line? But I can also send them food to support them in their old age."
Lin Nianhe rubbed his neck.
She felt a little suffocated.
Miao Yulan slowly leaned her head against the wall and looked at her hands with lowered eyes.
"My younger brother didn't drink milk when he was a child, so the four of us sisters drank rice soup to save food and replaced him with malted milk. After my eldest sister got married, she stole food back to her parents' house, and her mother-in-law broke one of her legs. My mother because she couldn't steal anymore... …Her other leg was also broken.”
"Actually, I don't want to cause famine, but if I don't give, my mother will beat me to death..."
Lin Nianhe finally understood the reason for the fear he had felt in Miao Yulan.
It was an instinctive reaction "trained" by being beaten by my own mother since childhood.
Just as she was about to speak, she heard a roar like a firecracker coming from behind:
"Let's see who dares to hit you! It's such a rebellion!"
Lin Nianhe was frightened and trembled. When he looked back, he saw a skinny aunt striding forward with a windy walk.
This aunt has thick eyebrows, big eyes, an angular jawline, a high nose, and neat short hair. At first glance, she is someone who is not easy to mess with.
Lin Nianhe licked his lips.
From what she just said, she probably wasn't looking for trouble.
Auntie walked in the door in twos and twos and came to Miao Yulan aggressively. She put one hand on her waist and poked Miao Yulan in the head with the other hand.
"You are such a weakling who can't be beaten with a stick. You deserve to be bullied to death by your mother! What else would you do besides leaking cat urine?"
"I've told you ten thousand times to find an organization if you have trouble! That mouth under your nose will show off your food but not say anything?"
"You mother, you mother, you are so awesome all day long, why don't you come to our Shili Brigade? Your mother is so awesome! I'll cut her brains off and fart!"
Every time my aunt cursed, she would hit Miao Yulan's forehead with her finger.
His tone of hatred was very much like that of an elder who was protecting his calf.
Lin Nianhe was wondering who this aunt was, when she suddenly turned her head and their eyes met unexpectedly.
Lin Nianhe's scalp was numb and he silently took a step back.
The aunt looked at her and asked, "Did Zhao Zhuangshi dig through your wall last night?"
Lin Nianhe: "Yes... right?"
"Yes means yes, no means no, why are you hesitating?" The aunt rolled her eyes and raised her chin towards Lin Nianhe, "I tell you, rest for at least three days to let that little bastard grow some memory!"
Lin Nianhe: "Okay."
After the aunt finished talking about this, she had no intention of letting Lin Nianhe go, and asked again: "Do you think what I just said was right?"
Lin Nianhe clapped his hands decisively: "Auntie is really right, my scolding is so good, and my awareness is so high!"
Miao Yulan: "..."
In fact, she always felt that Lin Zhiqing was quite arrogant.
