Chapter 6
Chapter 6
In the next few days, Ying Xu went to school and worked part-time to earn money.Wei Lianxiao seemed to be very busy, so he didn't contact him, and he didn't call him either—it's too deliberate to catch a sheep all the time.What's more, although the sheep is generous, it has a bad temper and will stick its hooves.
New Year's Day is approaching, and the festive atmosphere is strong again.
Ying Xu got up early in the morning, wrapped herself tightly in a thick cotton coat, and hurried out.He has two classes in the morning and two classes in the afternoon.After class, he was on vacation. He went to the wholesale market to buy some small toys and trinkets. On New Year's Eve, he could make a small profit by selling these things.
It was still dark, and there were only street lamps shining on the street.
Ying Xu hurried to get a ride, and after walking a few steps, she heard her cell phone ring.
He took out his cell phone and saw that it was his uncle's call.
He doesn't want to pick it up.
The cell phone rings non-stop, and I don’t know whose dog is woken up, barking “Wow, woof, woof” through the door.Ying Xu frowned and answered the phone.
"Xiao Xu, why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"
Uncle Ying's voice came out through the mobile phone, kind and easy-going, but distorted.
Ying Xu twitched the corners of his mouth, avoiding talking about the fact that he didn't answer the phone, and only asked, "Is there anything Elder Uncle wants me to do?"
"Hey, you kid, can't I come to you if I have nothing to do? We are relatives, so we need to keep in touch frequently. Besides, your parents are gone. In order not to let your parents worry about you, I should care more about you."
Ying Xu felt that these words were really harsh.When Dad's condition worsened and Mom came to borrow money, he didn't say that.
He interrupted the man's babbling, with a cold voice in his voice: "Thank you uncle for your concern. I'm already 20 years old, I'm not young, I have to take care of this family, besides, each family has its own family. I can't always bother other people's suffering."
Uncle Ying choked on him.
Ying Xu thought, it seems that he has a good memory, and he still remembers what he once said.
It's just that he underestimated Uncle Ying's thickness after all. The man quickly cheered up and changed the subject again: "Xiaoxu, you're offended by saying that. Your second aunt is a master who only recognizes money but not people." , but your eldest aunt is thinking about you. I heard that you are in a bad mood, is your second aunt urging you to pay back the money again? Alas, that woman really got into the eyes of money!"
Ying Xu didn't say anything bad about his elders, but he felt that Uncle Ying wasn't much better either.
"Oh, I really regret it. If I knew your mother borrowed money from your second uncle, I would be bitten by that crazy woman. Even if I eat cabbage leaves and rice bran every day, I will make up the money for you! It's just you I know, your cousin is getting married, the family has to buy a house and a car, and uncle is also short on money..."
"Uncle, I understand your difficulties. I will try my best to pay back the money owed to the second uncle's family." Ying Xu didn't want to continue to listen to him about those empty checks that could not be cashed, and made a wish to rewrite what had happened: "I am in a hurry now." Go to class, I won't tell you first."
"Hey!" Uncle Ying hurriedly stopped him: "Xiaoxu, don't worry, just listen to what uncle has to say. In the current situation of your family, you are only one and a half-year-old children left, and you have to study and live. You have to pay back the medical expenses and funeral expenses owed by your parents. How can you bear it? Uncle wants to help you, but your cousin is getting married and needs a wedding room. Your future sister-in-law and I are going to talk about it and put our The house is vacated for the two of them. As for us two old people, we just want to buy your house and make do with it. I discussed it with your aunt, and we would rather lose 30 yuan. If you resell the house to me, won’t you be able to pay back all the money that should be paid?”
30 million.
Ying Xu used his own life experience to estimate: 40 yuan, which is a very good price to buy a second-hand house with only 30 to [-] years of property rights left in an old residential area on the edge of the city.
But that's the price of buying and selling a house.
For Ying Xu, even though the old house is cramped and old, it is priceless - the living room, bedroom, kitchen, every floor tile is filled with his memories, bit by bit, he doesn't want to give up.
What's more, he didn't believe in his uncle's intentions.Based on what he knew about his uncle's family, it was impossible for them to suffer by themselves and take advantage of him, an outsider.The pie drawn by the uncle looks crispy, but it may be a trap.
Ying Xu resolutely refused.
"Hey, why don't you tell good from bad, you child! You don't sell it to us at such a good price, and you still expect your dilapidated house to appreciate in value? I'm afraid you forgot that when your mother wanted to take out that house as a mortgage, she went all over the place. After all the banks, no one is willing to approve it, who else wants such a house except our family?!"
The more anxious Uncle Ying became, the calmer Ying Xu became.He grasped an important point from Uncle Ying's words - appreciation.Uncle Ying went to great lengths to buy a house from him, and it was only for this reason.
How can an old house in a bad location like his house appreciate in value?
——Demolition, relocation.
Ying Xu's pace slowed down, and he felt the wind getting colder.Obviously, the sun tore through the dark sky and sprinkled a piece of pale white symbolizing light, but there was no temperature, it just made people feel as if they were falling into an ice cellar.
How long can his memory last?
Mom and Dad are gone, he can't even keep the house...
But not now.
Ying Xu closed his eyes, then slowly opened them with firm eyes.He rejected Uncle Ying again.Of course, his refusal could not dispel Uncle Ying's idea of buying a house.
So he took a slanted sword and led the trouble to the east: "Uncle, what you said is also reasonable. In fact, the second aunt also told me these two days that I should give her the house. You see, what I owe is her family's money anyway." , I will just give her the house as you said!"
After Ying Xu finished speaking, he didn't forget to thank his "enthusiastic" uncle, and hung up the phone before he could react.
Very good, the world is quiet.
Uncle Ying didn't call again, he probably went to argue with Second Aunt Ying.
In the morning, the line class is arranged. The teacher of the line class is very good in Mandarin, with clear articulation and full of emotion. Every line can touch people's hearts.He talked about the expression of emotion in the lines, and gave a demonstration, then gave the practice time, let the students practice independently, and later selected people to perform.
Ying Xu's script skills are good, so he was selected by the teacher.
Under the attention of many classmates, he stood up and read out the confession line assigned by the teacher.
The girls blushed when they heard it, as if he poured his affection, and the love he expressed was directed at himself.
The male students were a little unconvinced, and when some of them got together, there was a malicious light in their eyes.
After class, Ying Xu had to leave.He has spent too much time on part-time work recently, and has not finished his term paper, so he plans to go to the library to find some materials.Unexpectedly, a girl stopped him: "Ying Xu, classmate Ying, are you free today?"
Ying Xu looked up, and met the shy and timid eyes of the girl above.
He didn't give an answer right away. The girl took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, and offered an invitation: "Our classmates are planning to go to Xinjie Bar for the New Year's Eve. Do you want to go together?"
Ying Xu has never been to a bar. In the past, his family was strictly controlled and he was not allowed to go. Now that his life is so busy, he never thought of going to a place like that in the past.He declined the girl's invitation.Even if it's not a bar, but somewhere else, he can't go.He couldn't accept a girl's love at all, firstly, he couldn't afford it, and secondly, the gender was wrong.
The light in the girl's eyes dimmed significantly.
Ying Xu walked past her, and said in a low voice, "I wish you a good time, Zhang Qian, please be careful when you go to the bar."
He has always presented a hearty and free-spirited image, but in fact he has a delicate mind and is very good at taking care of other people's emotions.
When the girl was reminded by him, a smile appeared in her eyes again.She thought of the freshman's gathering activities, her blouse was accidentally wet with water, and the color of her underwear was leaking out. It was he who exchanged the props in his arms with her so that she could cover her chest embarrassment... People criticize him, he has never changed.
"Hey, Ying Xu, you are really ruthless. A cute girl like Zhang Qian asks you out, and you won't go on the date?"
Suddenly a male voice came in, laughing and joking with malicious sarcasm.
Zhang Qian blushed suddenly, as if she had done something wrong.
Seeing this, Ying Xu imitated his joking tone and said, "Oh, I can't help it. Who made me a busy person? This classmate, do you want to invite me to New Year's Eve too? It's a pity, I can only Choose to decline."
His tone was too exaggerated, Zhang Qian's embarrassment was immediately broken, and she couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth.The other people who were listening to them no longer bothered about Zhang Qian's invitation, and instead focused on the boy.
I saw that boy looked as if his throat was stuck by fat, and his face was pale. The few bad friends around him didn't help him to speak, but laughed out loud.
This made him feel that he couldn't get off the stage even more, and he said angrily: "Who invited you for the New Year's Eve! I want to ask where you are going to work today, so I can avoid that place, so that we will not meet you when we all go out to play. You are not embarrassed. I feel embarrassed!"
Ying Xu finally understood where the objection came from.
It is the nature of a villain to exalt the high and depress the low. They only want to see him look embarrassed because of poverty.
Ying Xu refuses to let them wish: "What's so embarrassing? But I don't want to see you either. If your friend insists on patronizing my business, I'd be so sorry. You spend all the hard-earned money of your parents. You don’t need to make a special trip to send flowers to me.”
"you!"
The mean-mouthed boy jumped up in anger, but Ying Xu remained calm.
When Dad was sick, he grew up quickly.If you are a cat, you are destined to expose your soft parts and get hurt.Then he would rather be a hedgehog, prickly, but never weak or bully.
"Spend less, it's not easy for your parents to earn money."
Ying Xu didn't want to talk too much, and passed by that boy.Unexpectedly, the man refused to give way, his neck was stuck, and he was knocked staggering.
He suddenly became more angry, and blurted out ugly words: "I spend my parents' money, and I still have my parents, so they are happy to spend money for me! Who is like you, your parents are gone, you just please rich men, Sell your hue and let others spend money for you!"
Ying Xu's footsteps stopped, and he turned his head slowly.
The boy looked into his eyes and felt that his breath was stagnant.
The other students also noticed the commotion here, and they felt that it was too much to hear him say "Parents are gone".Some people stepped forward to pull him, while others were busy making a siege and changing the subject.
Ying Xu took a deep breath: "This classmate, you don't look like your parents are still there."
"What do you mean?!"
"Say you have no tutor."
Ying Xu responded to the boy's fury with the calmest tone. The students were afraid that they would become more and more violent. After persuading the male student, they hurriedly persuaded Ying Xu again, asking him to say less.
The most indispensable thing in the world is a "peacemaker". When Dad passed away, his relatives were "peacemakers".
When my mother was buried, the neighbors were "peacemakers", and now my classmates are also "peacemakers".
The surrounding voices were so noisy that Ying Xu seemed to be unable to hear them.All the hustle and bustle gradually faded, only his eye sockets gradually turned red, which was red with tears, but he didn't cry.When someone is distressed, it makes sense to cry.If no one is distressed, then there is no need to cry.
"What's going on here?"
A deep voice suddenly sounded.
All the students looked back and saw Wei Lianxiao striding towards him, dressed in suits and leather shoes, which was out of place on this student-filled campus.
The students didn't know who he was, and they didn't speak for a moment, but they unconsciously made way for him like Moses dividing the sea.
He walked in front of Ying Xu unhurriedly: "What's wrong?"
Ying Xu didn't speak, and the boy who had an argument with him started to quarrel: "This guy scolded my parents for death, he really has no quality!"
Wei Lianxiao turned his head and looked at him carefully.
The boy took a step back when he saw it.
"For no reason, he scolded you?"
Being watched by so many classmates, the boy wanted to nod his head, but his head was as heavy as a huge boulder, and he couldn't nod with a slight nod.
"If you provoke him first, why are you angry?"
The man has a strong aura, and his voice is low and domineering: "The one who flirts first is cheap, classmate, haven't you heard of it?"
That classmate was choked to death, and he immediately ignored his fear and yelled loudly: "Of course you protect him, don't think I didn't see it, he just got out of your car last time, and he still flirted with you, reluctant to leave! You If you're messing with him, of course you speak for him! I didn't say anything wrong about him, he is an art student, who hasn't seen him like this? Why don't you ask him, dare to do it or not, are you afraid of people talking about it? "
Wei Lianxiao finally understood.
He saw Ying Xu clenching his fists, looking like he wanted to hit someone.Hold his arm and press his movements: "This classmate, you have to confirm everything before you have the right to speak. If you say something like this again, I will ask my lawyer to send you a lawyer's letter."
"Please allow me to declare to you that Ying Xu is my boyfriend."
"We are in a proper boyfriend-boyfriend relationship."
