"Why are you here so late? Others have been back for several days." Yang Wenshu complained as soon as they met.
Seeing that he was carrying a lot of bags, walking hobblingly, and being extremely tired, I felt a little distressed: "I'm just going home, why did you bring so many things? It's like you've graduated."
Lin Xiaoguang just laughed.
Before he put down his things, two little guys, Xiaofei and Xiaomo, rushed towards him, hugging his waist one on the left and the other on the right. They were very happy: "Brother! You are finally back."
How could Lin Xiaoguang not understand what they meant? He patted the two little guys' heads lovingly and smiled at them: "Don't worry, I didn't forget. I brought you something good and I'll give it to you later."
The little guy still didn't let go. He smiled helplessly and asked Lin's mother: "Mom, why don't you see my dad?"
"Your dad is busy with a case and should be back soon."
"Oh!" It's one o'clock and he hasn't come yet. It seems that the case is quite serious, Lin Xiaoguang said thoughtfully.
"Put your things down and eat first. I'll wait for you."
"Why are you waiting for me? You guys eat first. If you wait too long, the food will get cold."
"I didn't plan to wait for you, but Xiaofei and Xiaomo have to wait. I have no choice but to wait." Yang Wenshu spread her hands, feeling helpless.
"Xiaofei, Xiaomo, you are sensible now!" Lin Xiaoguang scraped Lin Xiaomo's nose and pulled Lin Xiaofei's ears.
Let's have dinner.
In the middle of the meal, Lin Zhongping came back after a long journey. He opened the door and saw Lin Xiaoguang. He looked up and down and smiled after a long time: "Not bad, not bad. He has grown up. He is almost 1.7 meters tall."
"Stop standing around stupidly, take the time to wash your hands and eat."
"Hey, okay."
At the dinner table, Lin Zhongping asked him about his situation at school. Lin Xiaoguang picked up what he could tell and answered each question in a very harmonious manner.
Holding his transcript, Lin Zhongping looked back and forth, then looked up and down at Lin Xiaoguang, marveling.
"What are you muttering about?" Yang Wenshu glared at him.
"I'm confused, Manjusri. You said that Xiaoguang looked smart before, but he wasn't that good at studying. Last year, there was a big change. This year, he was admitted to Tsinghua University. I still feel like I'm dreaming. You said that our family will have a child?"
I still don’t believe in the students from Tsinghua University and Peking University. Even if I did, I would only think it’s Xiao Mo and not Xiao Guang anyway.”
"Hey, this is my credit. You know, for his college entrance examination, I worked hard for half a year. I went to Yuntai Temple a few times. How easy do you think it is?" Yang Wenshu was not happy.
"You are awesome, you are awesome, it's all your fault." Lin Zhongping just chuckled.
Lin Xiaoguang was speechless and wanted to tell his mother, if I hadn't been reborn, even if you worked hard for eight years and went to Yuntai Temple eighty times, you might not be able to get into Tsinghua University.
But I just thought about it and didn’t dare to say it.
Later, Lin Zhongping asked him about other things, and Lin Xiaoguang said that it was very good. His roommates were easy to get along with, the teachers were very good to them, and the living allowance and subsidies provided by the school were sufficient.
Finally, he hesitated and said: "Mom, Dad, what I am going to say is very important. You must hold on."
"What, have you committed a crime?" As a police officer, Lin Zhongping asked subconsciously at the first moment.
Yang Wenshu also looked nervous.
"How can that be possible?" Lin Xiaoguang couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't I study English? We students organized and translated foreign books together, and then these books were prepared for publication. We all earned some manuscript fees, so I took the money and gave it to
You bought something."
"The royalties!" After a false alarm, Lin Zhongping breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then how much money did you earn? How much did you buy? How much money is left?" Yang Wenshu was concerned about money.
"Not much, not much, just over four hundred yuan." Lin Xiaoguang chuckled, not blushing even when he lied: "I spent two hundred yuan, and there are still two hundred yuan left."
"Damn you, you spent so much money, which is equivalent to two or three months' salary of your father and I. You really don't spend money as money. How could I have given birth to such a prodigal son like you?" When I heard that I spent so much.
It was so much money that Yang Wenshu felt so distressed that her eyes turned red.
Lin Zhongping didn't feel anything at all. He smiled happily and comforted her.
"Manjusri, I know how to make money and respect my elders. This is a good thing. Besides, this is the money he earned and it should be handled by him. Thank God that he didn't mess around. I think it's good."
"What's good? You two, father and son, don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, two hundred yuan!" Yang Wenshu said, feeling distressed.
Seeing that the quarrel started, Lin Xiaoguang was helpless. He took out the two hundred yuan in his pocket, put it on the table in front of Yang Wenshu, and shouted: "Mom, this is the remaining money. I'll give it to you. Don't leave."
We had a quarrel, it’s not good for my younger siblings to see it.”
Seeing the money, Yang Wenshu finally stopped making noise.
Lin Xiaoguang was also helpless. Mother Lin was such a well-educated and reasonable person, but now, she had to deal with daily necessities, rice, oil and salt, and her edges had been smoothed by life. There was no trace of the quietness and elegance she had back then. Time was really a butcher's knife.
Because he felt sorry for the two hundred yuan that was spent, Lin's father and Lin's mother's attention was diverted and they didn't ask much about the royalties. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking back, while worrying about the money and holding the things she bought, Lin’s mother’s mood was complicated.
"I know I feel sorry for my mother. Look, what did I buy? Oh, Shanghai cream, really good clothes, tsk tsk, and a handful of necklaces. I really risked my life." Lin Zhongping couldn't help but marvel.
Although Yang Wenshu was worried about money, what else could she say when she saw the things he bought for her? She said so in words, but her eyes revealed that she liked them.
"You're not lacking either. Belt, watch, leather shoes, everything."
While Mother Lin was smiling happily, looking around in front of the wardrobe mirror with her clothes, and asking Father Lin if they looked good, Lin Xiaoguang sneaked out of the master bedroom, returned to the living room, and gave them the things he bought for the two little guys.
The two little guys were looking forward to seeing something, their eyes widened with anticipation. Not to mention how happy they would be when they saw something.
"Wow! White Rabbit Milk Candy!"
"Brother, what is this?" Lin Xiaomo asked holding a bag of things.
"This is chocolate from abroad. It's sweet, with sugar and peanuts in it. It's delicious."
"Brother, I want it too." Upon hearing that it was something from abroad, Lin Xiaofei immediately dropped the White Rabbit toffee and ran over to grab the chocolate from Lin Xiaomo.
"Everything is available, no need to grab it."
Seeing this scene, Lin Xiaoguang was very satisfied, and it was not in vain that he worked hard to copy books every day.
In the next few days, I gave the things I bought to my grandparents, aunts, aunts, and uncles one by one. My mother-in-law, aunt, and aunts were all very happy. Grandpa felt sorry for the money, but seeing how happy everyone was, it was hard to say no.
If you like what you hear, just say it and don’t take it as an example.
The old man set an example, and the uncle couldn't say anything. However, the uncle did not let down his guard. He had a smile on his face, but he made up his mind to ask clearly when he got back to see if this guy was a diligent student at Peking University.
After staying at home for a few days, Lin Xiaoguang felt very uncomfortable.
Without him, he should have grown faster in the past six months, and his body has reached the stage of development. He could control it a little before, but now when he lies in bed at night and listens to his parents in the next room, he can't fall asleep, so he has to do
I did push-ups until I was too tired to move, so I fell asleep.
One day like this, he looked at Xiao Fei and Xiao Mo sleeping on the bunk bed in the same room, and then looked at the flat bed where he slept, and suddenly felt that his home was too small.
So, he said to his parents: "I want to go back to school."
