The chalk tip thrown by the math teacher drew a perfect function curve in the air and became the fourteenth "God's Punishment" that landed on the girl's head.

"Well..." The girl woke up from her sweet dream, and slowly raised her heavy head amidst the laughter that came from time to time. First, she saw the snacks hidden in the table pocket on the front table, and then the astronomy on the blackboard that could not be seen clearly. Mathematical symbols, and finally the angry face of the math teacher.

She shook her head, trying to expel the sleepiness from her mind, but the words that popped out of her mouth still revealed her secret: "Is dinner ready?" The teacher quickly darkened his face, his eyes full of disappointment. Said: "That's not true, Luoxi, you can either come up and solve the second question of the twenty-two questions for me, or go out and calm down."

She decisively picked up the brand new white paper and walked out.

At noon, the sun stood in the center of the sky stage, emitting its light more boldly in order to make the atmosphere more lively. Luo Xi's mother endured the hot weather and insisted on handing the food at home to Luo Xi. When she was not busy cooking, she touched her head softly and said, "eat slowly..."

"Mom, I thought you weren't coming. My classmates all ordered takeaways..." Luo Xi slowed down her cooking speed, and after a while she forced out the words: "Mom, I don't want to read…"

He hurriedly held her hand and said, "No, there is no way out if you don't study now..."

"But, I really can't learn..."

The mother caressed her hand. She could not give the child background or wealth. She could not give more, but she placed countless expectations on her. She was sorry for the child, but...this was also helpless. She did not want the child to be affected by them. It's painful.

"If you endure a little hardship now, things will be much smoother in the future..."

Luo Xi had no choice but to nod. She had worked very hard, but conditions and talent kept holding her back. But in order not to disappoint her parents, she pretended to be excited and looked hopeful. "Okay, I will try my best!"

But in the afternoon, she was woken up by reality again.

"Oh no, Luo Xi! Your dad accidentally fell off the shelf during construction in the afternoon!

Afterwards, everyone witnessed the sports king Luo Xi's divine parkour, bubbling, accelerating and turning in one go. Even the several-meter-high circular wall outside the school had to sit like a child as she climbed it.

When she rushed home and saw her dying father, the doctor shaking his head and sighing, and her mother covering her face and crying, her mind was frozen for a moment. She seemed to be in a bottomless ice lake, cold and gripping. There is no straw for survival.

The doctor stood up and patted his mother's shoulder. The words in his mouth seemed to have blocked his trachea, making it impossible for him to say those words.

"Say, we, we can accept it."

"If...well, if you don't go to the hospital, you can prepare for the funeral today." After the doctor said this, he did not dare to look directly into their eyes. He simply said goodbye and left in a hurry.

"Mom, I think..." "No!" Mother showed a rare firm look in her eyes, "I said, I will let you go to college even if I try to sell you!"

"That's what you said when you gave birth to my brother." Luo Xi clenched her fists. When the backbone of the family fell, her ridiculous fantasies were shattered in an instant before the cruel reality.

When the house you rely on for survival suddenly collapses, you will understand how hard it is raining outside.

The mother hesitated for a while, then shook her head, "No, let's discuss this matter tomorrow morning."

Perhaps Luo Xi would never have thought that the bowl of vegetable soup she drank before leaving was the last time she tasted the taste of home. It was an evening when the sun was setting, and the smoke from the home was still rising as usual, but less It has less meaty flavor and less oily flavor. She drank the most delicious home dinner of her life while her mother was on the phone.

Before going out, she deliberately set her cell phone ringtone to silent.

In the roar of the train, she saw her mother's figure, but before she could say goodbye, the train ruthlessly and quickly pulled her far ahead. "Mom! I will definitely come back!" People around her looked at her like a fool and screamed at the beautiful scenery outside the window, but she didn't pay attention to those eyes. After seeing her tears on the window, she buried her head and cried bitterly.

She didn't know where her end point was. She only knew that she would be frantically looking for a job after arriving at the station. But now, who would be willing to recruit a girl who is not an adult and has no college degree?

Finally, with the help of an unfamiliar acquaintance, she found a job. The work was hard and tiring, and the factory was in shabby condition, but she no longer cared about that. “As long as I can make money and send it home, that’s fine.” Got it!"

She also contacted her family. She told her family that she was very good now, working in a very powerful company, and her salary was very good. Her mother often suppressed her tears and said that her family was doing well now. Her father could get out of bed and walk, and her younger brother had to go to school in the city. "Be kind to yourself, Xi'er, don't, don't tire yourself..." Luo Xi He put down the dirty and heavy stuff in his hand, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I'm fine now!"

During holidays, people gather at home to laugh and spend quality time with their families. But around the factory on the outskirts of the city, in the forgotten bamboo forest over there, the long sound of the flute comes again. Tonight's moon causes The flute player's homesickness, in the music full of nostalgia, the bamboo leaves dropped sad dew,

The factory also stopped its useless shouting and lost track of time amid the sound of the flute. Everything was quiet, everything echoed with the sound of the flute.

"The ten-year-old gift for my brother should have arrived..." She began to think of her younger brother who lived in the countryside, and her grandfather who farmed in the countryside.

The phone rang out of place: "I'm here~waiting for your return..."

"Hi, hello, I'm Luo Xi."

"Hello, are you Miss Luoxi? This is xx Hospital, you..."

Go home, fly home, get off the plane and go to the hospital right away.

She hurried to the hospital, the hope in her heart shaking like a candle in the rain. When the doctor with tired eyes saw Luo Shao, he bowed apologetically to her and kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we really tried our best..."

That day was supposed to be the day when I was going to pick up my younger brother to go to school in the city. It was a rare time for the family to get together, and then...

A fire that had not been seen in ten years broke out.

The sky-filled sky burned everything to ashes, burned the smiles of all relatives into parting cries, and the smoke from the past meals turned into endless black smoke in the blink of an eye.

The dilapidated life-saving stairs could not bear the weight of several people. At the last moment of life, the parents hugged their children in unison, giving their last lives in exchange for the hope of their children's last life.

When the rescuers tried their best to dig up the ruins, everyone was silent when they saw this scene. At the end of his life, his father was still wrapped in bandages, and his mother's body was still so thin, but the baby in their arms was not It suppresses the crying child, but sends out the first roar of life to death.

She lied to her parents, saying she was living a good life outside, and her parents also lied to her, saying she was doing well at home...

At her parents' funeral, her brother kept holding her hand and said nothing. After the crowd dispersed, he asked her: "Sister, where are mom and dad?"

Luo Xi knew that "death" was still too far away for him at his current age. She hesitated and touched his head.

"They went to a distant place." She looked at her brother's blank eyes, "They will come back one day. Study hard, brother."

The setting sun shone on the two sisters on their way back, and the fallen leaves rustling as they passed by, welcoming the sunset of the night.
