Xie Chong was dejected after not being able to buy gifts for his family. After school, he wandered on the street for a long time and refused to go home.
Xie Ying had already heard what happened, and she didn't care at all. When she was at school, she told her brother: "Forget it if you can't get the money. It will be good for you to have a good reputation in the school."
Xie Chong didn't want to answer her. What do children know? His promise to his family was not fulfilled, which was what saddened him the most.
He had already strolled through the shop on the street in front of his house, and the proprietress of the toiletries store recognized him. After several years of opening the store, Xie Chong was still the first little boy to buy cream in the store. When the proprietress saw him, she
He smiled and said with crooked eyes: "When will you come to buy it?"
"When I have money."
Xie Chong didn't even know where he wandered. After replying to the landlady, he hurried away.
By chance, I happened to meet Zhou Mingli. He was riding a bicycle with a happy face. He praised Xie Chong with a smile and started a long speech. Xie Chong smiled bitterly and didn't know how to answer.
Zhou Mingli said: "Logically speaking, the school does not need you to donate money. I told Teacher Yan to return the bonus to you. However, he told me that it was strongly requested by the students. This is our Donghai Elementary School
Once you win a prize in a competition in the city, your prize money is of great significance."
Fine.
After Zhou Mingli finished speaking, he realized that Xie Chong was in a bad mood. "What's wrong? Are you worried?"
"No."
"You rarely look so lazy. You look like you have no strength at all. Are you sick?"
"No discomfort."
Xie Chong must be in a mood. Zhou Mingxi asked the question, but then thought again, let him keep some secrets! "Xie Chong, if you need help, you can come to my house to find me. Your father is not at home, you must have suffered a lot.
Wronged."
If my father were around, would I still let myself suffer such injustice?
When Xie Chong returned home, Xie Ying immediately ran to him and asked in a low voice: "Brother, do you still want to participate in the football school selection?"
"Participate! Grandpa said he would tell me if there is any news. I don't want to stay in this shabby school for a long time."
Thinking of the "truth" she discovered two days ago, Xie Ying couldn't bear to tell her brother, so she had to remind her tactfully: "Then ask grandpa, when will the selection start?"
Just as grandpa was collecting the branches, Xie Chong asked casually: "Grandpa, is there any news about the date of the selection?"
Xie Hongxuan's movements paused for a moment. This small detail did not escape Xie Ying's sharp eyes. She couldn't hold back her anger and asked: "Grandpa, it's just these two days, right?"
"Ahem, how is that possible? If it's these two days, can I go without your brother?"
When things came to an end, Grandpa was still quibbling.
Xie Ying became excited: "Last Saturday, I saw you tearing up the calendar card that morning. If it wasn't a day related to football, then why did you write the word 'Football School'?"
Xie Hongxuan was shocked, but Xie Chong felt as if he had been hit in the head. He felt incredible. The grandfather he respected the most had lied to him? The grandfather who always supported his football dream, had actually been implementing delaying tactics? Delaying, delaying
When Xie Chong is numb, give up automatically?
Xie Chong's eyes made people feel scared and distressed. Xie Hongxuan piled the branches aside casually and said eagerly: "I have inquired, this year the football school only recruits junior high school students and technical secondary school students..."
"I can still take the exam! I'm already in fifth grade. I'm in another place and will go to junior high school in the second half of the year."
"Xie Chong, it's not that simple. Your schooling lasts for six years..."
"Is it a problem with the academic system now?" Xie Chong couldn't help crying: "You have been lying to me!"
Xie Hongxuan was suddenly discouraged. There was nothing more to say. He was indeed deceiving his grandson.
Xie Chong turned his head and ran out of the house. He was worthy of being Xie Qingshou's son. Whenever he encountered a problem, he would run faster than anyone else.
Xie Qingyun met Xie Chong at the street corner and shouted twice but did not stop him. She was in a hurry to go to the toilet and wanted to go out and chase him after. As a result, when she walked out of the toilet, Xie Chong had long disappeared.
Xie Qingyun searched along the road for a while, and finally had no choice but to return home. Xie Ying was angry with her grandfather and told her aunt everything about her brother. Xie Qingyun was also furious and said: "No matter who you recruit for, you should tell your children honestly.
He trusts you so much, but what’s the result? You didn’t apply for a student status for him, and you concealed the enrollment of the football school until now. Can Xie Chong feel better?"
Xie Hongxuan also felt very uncomfortable. He sighed and said, "But how come all the matters like applying for his school registration fall on me? Why don't his parents care?"
Too.
The burden of the whole family falls on the father, and he is indeed somewhat powerless. Xie Qingyun said: "Then why did you boast about Haikou? If you can't do something, don't promise easily."
Xie Hongxuan lowered his head. It was too late to say anything now. He always felt that as the head of the family, he should shoulder all the burdens. Even if he is old, he must be responsible for his children and grandchildren. But during this time, he has
What have you done for your grandson?
He shouldn't act like the "head of the family", there are many things he just can't do.
Thinking of the grandfather from the past, Xie Ying couldn't help complaining: "All the adults in the family have changed."
But the baby in the main room also started crying, and the heart-wrenching cry made people's heads grow big. Alas, the well-ordered home turned into a mess.
"I'll go out to find Xie Chong first." Xie Qingyun said, "It will get late after a while and it won't be safe outside."
Xie Hongxuan remained silent. If his grandson came back, a war might break out in the family. His son ran away and his grandson ignored him. How could he, the head of the family, fail so badly?
Xie Hongxuan looked at his granddaughter and suddenly found that she seemed to have lost some weight. Xie Ying's stomach was growling, and she was obviously hungry. Xie Hongxuan made a joke that was not very appropriate: "Xiao Ying, if you go
I’m sure you won’t be hungry at grandma’s house.”
Xie Ying was even sadder than before. Xie Hongxuan said hurriedly: "I'm kidding, I'm kidding! Grandpa will cook for you right now."
Xie Ying burst into tears. Xie Hongxuan held her hand and said, "I'm really joking! If Xiaoying wasn't at home, my soul would be gone."
"Grandpa, if you are too tired, I can go to grandma and grandpa's house. They should welcome me, right?"
"That won't work." Xie Hongxuan held his granddaughter's hand tighter: "I made an agreement with your grandma and grandpa at that time, you are my life, otherwise how could they send you back?"
After that, Xie Hongxuan whispered: "Your grandma is not normal, but I am normal. You are my precious granddaughter!"
Xie Ying burst into tears and smiled, showing her two front teeth, and whispered: "I like grandpa the most!"
"Grandpa also likes Xiaoying the most!"
"Then grandpa...when my brother comes back, will you say sorry to him?"
This question ruined the happy atmosphere. Xie Hongxuan frowned, sighed, and said nothing.
