Chapter 19 Chapter Eighteen

Between taking care of Jin Hua and busy work, Shi Xin asked for leave to go home.This time he was in a good mood, because now his physical condition is much better than before, and his work is relatively stable.What made him even more happy was that his youngest sister, Pingping, had good academic performance and had no problem at all in being admitted to a key university.Now he pins his inner desire for university and the future of the family on his youngest sister. No matter what, he wants her to go to university and live a happy life. The money he sent home in the past few months has basically not been used by his mother, and it is reserved for Pingping to go to school.After Shilian went to work, her income was not very much, only three or four hundred yuan a month, but she basically handed it over to her mother every month. With Lan Lan's income from working outside, the most difficult time for the family seemed to have passed.Now, apart from Pingping's studies, the most important thing for the whole family is to buy the building that has just been allocated.

After the small bungalow was demolished, the family rented a house for more than two years.Now, a new building that is not spacious but can give the family unlimited hope has been allocated to the family. Although it is only a public housing that is allocated to the family because they cannot afford the money, and they have to pay rent every month, but after all, they came to the provincial capital. Fifteen years later, I finally have a building that I can live in in a stately manner.When Shi Xin was on the phone, she could hear an unprecedented joy in her mother's voice. The life of the poor is so simple, as long as they have no worries about food and clothing; in such a simple day, if life changes for the better day by day, that is the greatest happiness.Now, Zhang Shixin's family is immersed in infinite happiness.

The house must be bought.The development company and the housing management office posted notices about housing reform everywhere, saying that all existing public housing will be sold to residents within two years, and if the tenants do not buy the house within two years, they will take it back according to law. When Shi Xin returned home and saw such a notice, she didn't know what law those people were based on, and she didn't know why the bungalows that she used to buy with her parents' half-life hard-earned money were demolished for nothing. They are compensated for a penny.Not reconciled, he asked the development company and the housing management office again.The housing management said that this was a matter of the development company, and they had no way to interfere; the development company said that the manager who was in charge of the demolition had been sentenced for embezzling several million yuan, and they were not clear about the previous incident.But one thing is clear: all the families who had no money to buy the newly built relocated houses did not receive compensation. They just exchanged their original private houses for a public house without property rights, and paid monthly rent to the housing management office.

"This is the regulation above. If you want compensation, you should have bought the house in the first place, but now you still have to buy it—has the housing reform changed? But now there is no compensation. The original bungalow was built in vain, right?" A manager of the development company said, and then he didn't care. Shi Xin didn't give up, he felt that such a solution was too unfair.For a poor family like theirs, there is no financial ability to buy a house.But no matter whether you buy a newly built house or not, if the house that originally belonged to you is demolished, you should not get a penny of compensation anyway.He ran for many days in a row, grabbed the manager of the development company, and told him clearly that if he could not make a fair compensation, he would sue them according to law.

In fact, Shi Xin was not sure at all.He doesn't understand the law, and he doesn't know whether the law can protect poor and vulnerable people like them in such a remote place; It's not fair anymore.But he still plausibly told the manager what he thought.The manager looked carefully at the young man who had rushed back from Beijing, and seemed a little shaken. Just the day before Shi Xin was about to leave, he got the exact news.If their family plans to buy the house now, they don't need to pay in one lump sum, and part of the house payment can be exempted. They only need to pay 30,000 yuan within two years to get the building they live in now.

Shi Xin won, and the whole family was happy. But happiness is only temporary.After all, 30,000 yuan is still an astronomical figure for their family, and no one knows whether they can save enough 30,000 yuan to get this house within two years.If the money is still not enough after two years, it will be inevitable that the house will be repossessed. After the whole family had dinner, after a period of careful planning, the mother asked Shi Xin with a smile: "Shi Xin, can you earn 2,000 yuan a month now?" Shi Xin nodded, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid there will be more in the future! Don't worry! We must buy this house. First pay a few thousand yuan, go through the formalities, and take the rest slowly. Two years It must be delivered within a few days.”

Mother nodded, but still seemed uneasy. "Why don't you send back all your monthly wages, and I'll save them? I'm afraid you'll spend them all in one go. Then what will you do then? Pingping also wants to study, right? Not now It’s much more expensive than when you went to school! The country girl Sister Qin who we sweep the streets together—you know—her son was admitted to a key university last year, and the tuition fee was 6,000 yuan a year, so he just didn’t go to school. Now I follow his mother to sweep the streets!" Speaking of going to school, the waves that had been silent in my mother's heart for a long time seemed to surge suddenly, and she remembered the things she had been brooding all along, "You, you have to go to school. They didn’t study hard. Their children can’t even get into school, and they follow their mother to sweep the streets all day long in the wind and rain. When will this be a good day?” As she spoke, two tears appeared in the corners of her mother’s eyes. .

Shi Xin felt sad for a while. More than three years have passed, and he has gradually forgotten the early morning when he sadly left school, and those years of joys and sorrows.But mother did not forget.In the mother's heart, his absence from school is her eternal pain. "Mother, am I fine now? Don't worry, I will send you back the money every month. It will be used for Pingping's schooling, and the rest will be used to buy a house. In two or three years, no matter how you say it, you can buy the house." Buy it." "And me and my sister." Lan Lan has obviously grown up, with big eyes, tall and well-proportioned, she is a typical girl.She has been working as a waiter in the Armed Police Hotel. At the beginning, she only had more than 100 yuan a month. With her hard work and hard work, she has been working for more than two years, and now she can earn 500 to 600 yuan a month.

Before her mother could answer, Shi Xin stood up and walked to Lan Lan's side, looking at her younger sister who was already as tall as herself, and she was wearing clean old clothes.Shi Xin said: "Just take good care of yourself. Buy some clothes when it's time to buy. Don't let others look down on you. I'm here for the family affairs, so you don't have to worry about them." In his heart, Shi Xin has an eternal debt to this younger sister.I couldn't take care of my own schooling and serious illness, that is, at that time, Lanlan was forced to give up school after he was admitted to a vocational high school, and he was washing dishes in restaurants outside at the age of sixteen.Shi Xin clearly remembered that year when he came home and saw his sister washing dishes in the ice and snow outside the restaurant, her hands were covered with bloody cuts.There are five children in the family, except for his younger brother who died early, the one he feels most sorry for is Lan Lan.If parents should feel guilty towards their children in the most difficult years, this guilt should only exist because Lan Lan dropped out of school early.Shi Xin never blamed his parents, they have done everything they can; he only blamed himself for not taking good care of his younger sister, which caused her to lose the opportunity to study, and the loss of this opportunity may mean the life of her younger sister Lan Lan will undergo radical changes.

He arranged everything at home.Before leaving, he took Lan Lan to the street and bought a decent dress and a pair of pants for his sister.Then I bought some things and went to see grandma together.The old lady was still old, but her expression was serene, and she always had endless things to say. She held Shi Xin's hand and babbled all afternoon, taking the three hundred yuan that Shi Xin gave her and sighed together.When Shi Xin left, grandma cried while holding the door. When he returned to Beijing, he was a little apprehensive.Because he promised his mother to send all the monthly income of 2,000 yuan home for Pingping to go to school and buy a house for the family.But he is not sure whether he can maintain the simplest life after sending 2,000 yuan to his family.

He didn't think about it too much.If he promised, he must do it.Even if he didn't agree, he would do it.What makes him feel very happy now is that he is still alive.When he left home sadly that time, he didn't know whether he could still see his beloved parents and sisters; he had seen his relatives twice in the past two years, and nothing made him feel more at ease and happy than this. It can be seen in every word and every look of mother's eyes, and the life at home is gradually getting better.The mood of the mother has always been the barometer of the family. Now the mother will show a real smile from time to time, and sometimes she can tell a joke that is not funny to make herself laugh out loud. People report what happened during the day when they led dozens of cleaners to sweep the streets, just like a senior leader's posture and tone.Everything shows that this family, which has been in poverty for more than ten years, has finally gone through the bleakest years and gradually ushered in a period of bright days. Shi Xin is very relieved.Now, if there is still one or two years left, he has saved enough money to buy a house and Pingping's education, even if he leaves this world right away, he will go away peacefully. Zhang Shixin's work has been going smoothly.In more than half a year, he quickly mastered all kinds of knowledge about the Internet, and also learned to make web pages and process pictures.This made him gradually become more comfortable when doing a lot of work, and even omitted some links that required the cooperation of other departments, and he completed it in one go. On this day, the company's operations director called Shi Xin to the office and told him with certainty that his work performance was outstanding. "However, your complexion is not very good. I heard that you often work overtime until late. Pay attention to your health, young man! The personnel manager told me about your situation, I appreciate you very much! I hope you will do better and better. Life will As you get better and better, the challenges will also become bigger and bigger. You have many good ideas, and if you work hard, you will surely succeed one day.” The words of the manager made Shi Xin very excited and moved.At least it shows that his hard work for more than half a year has been effective. Not only can he keep this stable job with a relatively good income, but he has also proved through his hard work that education is not the most important thing in making a living in this bustling metropolis of. He can feel at ease now, because the manager asked him to go to the HR department to sign the labor contract.After the contract is signed, he doesn't have to worry about work at all in the next year.All that remains is to work harder, and then send the hard-earned money to the family, fulfill his promise to the family, and fulfill his duties as a son and brother. When signing the contract, he saw even more exciting news.His contract clearly stated: Position: Assistant Editor-in-Chief, with a monthly salary of 3,500 yuan (after tax).Looking at those words, his heart was pounding with excitement. After so many hardships, he finally became a person who could earn a monthly income of several thousand yuan.Like those men in suits and ties who walk in and out of office buildings, he now has a good income and has become the assistant editor-in-chief of this large company. The after-tax monthly salary of 3,500 yuan is equivalent to the entire income of the father and mother who spend half a year working on the street from dawn to dusk, waving big brooms!If he saves a little, he only needs 500 yuan a month to cope with his own life, and the remaining 3,000 yuan can be saved, and he can buy the family house within a year. He saw a light he had never seen before.A new hope rose in his heart. There is no eternal loser, in front of life, oneself is a winner.You are a winner, he told himself with certainty.You have conquered death for a while, and you have conquered poverty.Now, what you need to face is to maintain this hard-won good life, turn all the love for your parents and family into good days and dedicate them to them, so that they can also feel happy and satisfied. The most difficult thing for a person to face is himself, and when he defeats himself, he becomes invincible.Zhang Shixin has gone through the bleakest years of his life. After struggling on the death line for six years, he finally ushered in the second spring of his life when the millennium is approaching.Although this spring has come late, his life has become richer and nobler because of this late spring. He spent one hundred and ninety-eight yuan to buy a suit with a discount of 100% for himself in Xidan shopping mall, and he was given a silver-gray tie with floral flowers as a gift.Although it is not very beautiful, it is the most expensive thing he bought for himself during these years in Beijing.When the director of operations said goodbye that day, he told him with a smile that he should have a suit, which would make him more energetic and look like a leader.So he bought the suit without hesitation or distress.The next day, he arrived at the company in good spirits wearing this new suit and tie.When he was walking on the road, he was still a little embarrassed. He took a few steps to look at himself, and touched his tie, for fear that the tie would be accidentally tilted to one side. Seeing Zhang Shixin in a suit and leather shoes early in the morning, Li Ran was so startled that he jumped on the spot, and shouted loudly, "Ah!"Everyone in the office looked up at her in fright.So everyone saw the disgraced Zhang Shixin suddenly changed his appearance today, and laughed haha.Shi Xin blushed, walked quickly to the desk and sat down, turned on the computer and got busy.Li Ran followed behind him like a shadow. "What's the matter? I changed a set of skins, and even I don't care?" "Go and do your work! I have to work." Shi Xin pushed her away.But Li Ran got stuck with him and refused to leave no matter what. "If you don't give me a smiling face today, and if you dare to play big games with me again, I will follow you. I will never leave even if I die, and I will follow you home to eat at night." Li Ran raised his head and said. "If you don't go to work, be careful the manager sees you and fires you!" Shi Xin threatened her.He knew very well that such intimidation was of no avail to Li Ran.Sure enough, Li Ran tilted his head, leaned in front of him, and whispered, "How rare? I don't want to do it yet! It's a thousand yuan a month, and you have to pay taxes, which is less than a third of what you are now." .” Shi Xin turned to look at Li Ran and found that she was very close.So I stood up, pressed her shoulders and pushed her back, saying, "I also started with thousands of dollars. You don't focus on work every day, and you still want to get so much money? You are the manager of the company. Are you a fool? If it were me, I would give you 500 yuan, and this is because I know you, otherwise 500 yuan would not be discussed." "They are fools! They can't even find such an excellent talent like me, so they just ask me to be a bad customer service. They are on the phone every day, 'Hi, hello! Can I help you with anything?' Is it annoying? Who are those people? Tell me every now and then: 'Miss, your voice is so nice!' I even forgot what I was going to do on the phone, disgusting!" Li Ran learned so well that Shi Xin couldn't help laughing.Li Ran pursed her lips and said with a smile: "What are you laughing at? So you can laugh too? Huh!" She patted Shi Xin's table and left angrily.Shi Xin didn't follow because he knew that Li Ran wasn't angry at all.The first thing this girl does every day at work is to run over and mess with him before returning to her seat to work. He has always been busy, but in his heart he likes Li Ran messing around with him like this.Many times he even expected Li Ran to come and mess with him.He also couldn't tell what kind of strange psychology this was. Maybe it was because the days he had lived for so many years were too gloomy. Li Ran's appearance added another kind of bright color to his life.He likes the color and the relaxed feel. But Li Ran soon stopped looking for him. For many consecutive days, Li Ran sat on the table alone with a sullen face in a daze.He really wanted to go to ask what happened, but he never went to ask.He knew that if Li Ran wanted to tell him, he would have already said so.So far, he has known every bit about Li Ran that he can know.This little girl even told Shi Xin about her first love. She has almost no secrets in front of Shi Xin. She must have a reason for not telling her now, so Shi Xin wanted to wait a few days and see. "Is Jinhua still good?" Shi Xin asked Sandwei while helping him tidy up the dishes on the stall, while looking at Jinhua who was sitting on a small bench in the stall quietly looking at himself. "Why are you not good? You haven't said a word all day. You're going to the bathroom by yourself!" Sandwei's face was dark, and he was busy arranging the dishes, saying, "I just froze the girl. I I dare not keep it at home, for fear that something will happen to her." Shi Xin sighed and looked at Jin Hua sitting quietly in the booth.She was wearing a thick cotton coat, cotton shoes, and a scarf, and she sat motionless on the bench and stared at Shi Xin.He has been looking at Shi Xin like this for a long time.Ever since Shi Xin moved here because she was afraid that Sandwei would not be too busy alone, and rented two connected houses to live with them, whenever Jin Hua saw Shi Xin, she would quietly stare at his face. Look.Sometimes the head is still tilted to one side, as if thinking hard.At first she silently chanted the child's name, but later she hardly opened her mouth, as if she had become a mute. "If I hadn't had to watch her, I wouldn't be selling vegetables here. I wouldn't be able to make a lot of money even if I was frozen to death. After all, I'm a college student, and I've had a few years of cultural meals, and I've earned tens of thousands of dollars in manuscript fees." , how did you end up selling vegetables for a living?" Sang Dewei rambled while arranging the vegetables. Shi Xin said nothing.Silently tidy up the dishes.He felt sorry for Sandwei. He was the one who saved Jinhua back then, and he also left behind.He was responsible for Jinhua's departure, but it is Sandwei who is always by Jinhua's side to take care of her today.Although Shi Xin moved here, he cooks for them every day when he gets home from get off work, and washes all the things in the house on weekends, but apart from these, he can only give Sang Dewei part of the money to supplement the family's life every month. Then buy back the medicine of Jinhua.He had to go out to work, and he couldn't be by Jin Hua's side all the time. Sandwei understands him and doesn't say anything, sometimes he doesn't even accept the money handed over by Shi Xin. "Give it to your family. Save yourself to buy some medicine." He always said that.Then she took care of Jinhua silently. At first, she even had to worry about going to the bathroom. If she didn't pay attention, Jinhua would wet her pants. Now it's a little better, Jinhua knows that she has to go to the bathroom. "I don't know how the ping pong is. It's been more than half a year, and the child doesn't know if he is suffering." After Sandwei finished speaking, his eyes were red, and he raised his head to look at Shi Xin.Shixin knows that Sang Dewei has always been brooding about Jinhua's departure and the loss of Pingpong.It was Shi Xin who caused this situation, and he felt sad for a while. "The police can't find it. What can we do? Ping-pong is so small..." At this moment, Shi Xin heard Jin Hua, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened her mouth to speak. "Ping pong... Ping pong..." She muttered, sat up from the bench, then tore off the scarf on her head, tore her hair tightly with both hands, thinking hard, still muttering in her mouth, " Ping-pong, ping-pong..." Shi Xin almost screamed and ran across the vegetable stand to Jin Hua, he grabbed Jin Hua's shoulder and shook vigorously, tears streaming down his face.Sandwei also threw away the vegetables in his hand, and turned to look at Jinhua. "Jin Hua, did you remember something? Tell me, Jin Hua. Tell me quickly, what did you remember?" Shi Xin shook Jin Hua vigorously.He had a premonition that Jin Hua seemed to remember something soon. Jin Hua stared at his face, looked carefully, and thought hard. "Ping-pong, ping-pong..." As she muttered, a light flashed in Jin Hua's eyes, and her eyes suddenly became brighter.She grabbed Shi Xin's hand and said eagerly, "Brother, they took the doll away! They took it away!" As she spoke, she burst into tears. Shi Xin cried out, and Sandwei also cried.All the people in the market were stunned, looking around at the three crying young people, not knowing what happened.They will never know how happy and moved Shi Xin and Sandwei are at this moment.After more than half a year, Jin Hua finally woke up.She clearly yelled at Shi Xin: "Brother, they took the doll away!" That day after Jinhua left with the child in her arms, she wandered around not knowing where to go.Later, she went to the post office to get the money and went straight to the house of the person who insulted him at the beginning. She wanted to take the child to find that person to argue.When she got downstairs, she didn't go up again.She looked at the child, Pingpong in her arms was sleeping peacefully, her little face was rosy and chubby.Jin Hua suddenly couldn't bear it.This child was born to correct the bad guy, but after the child came to this world, Jin Hua devoted all her love to the child, and ping-pong became her everything.Now, when she was about to take the child to find that person, she suddenly flinched.Ping-pong was all she had, and she couldn't turn the doll into a tool against that bastard.That bastard doesn't deserve such a cute doll! So she didn't go upstairs and left with the baby. Holding Pingpong in her arms, she walked aimlessly on the street with more than 5,000 yuan taken out of Shi Xin's passbook.At that time, she wanted to go back very much, to go back to the small room that was born from the small stove.She also knew that there must be someone anxiously waiting for her. He would cook chicken soup for her, and he would always care and love her and take care of her children.When Jin Hua was almost desperate to return to Daxing, she suddenly remembered what Shi Xin had asked her to leave Beijing to go home. "He must have disliked me. Otherwise, if I wanted him to sleep next to me that night, he would not have closed the curtain and left. He would not have told me to take the child away." After thinking about this, Jin Hua suddenly Thinking of the life facing Shi Xin again. "Brother is so sick, the life at home is so difficult, and he has to take care of me and the baby. Can he bear it? He must not bear it. His face is always burnt like wax. He must not bear it." !" Jin Hua stood silently on the street with her child in her arms.She didn't know where she should go.In this bustling city, Shi Xin is his closest relative, and Sandwei, who is still in prison, is her closest relative.Now, neither of these two people can be relied on, and she doesn't know who else she and her child can rely on. She rented a small house in the outer suburbs of Chaoyang, where she lived with her children in fear.It was like a slum, full of outsiders who wandered outside like her, everywhere was dirty, and everywhere seemed to have malicious eyes.She was so nervous that she didn't even dare to close her eyes at night, and sat with the child in her arms until dawn before resting in a daze for a while. She gradually got used to that kind of lonely life and relaxed her vigilance.One day after she went out to relieve herself, she found that the doll lying on the bed was gone.The Henan native who lived next door and had just squatted at the door to eat and promised to help her look after the child disappeared.Ping-pong was stolen by that Henan native. Jin Hua chased after her like crazy, shouting Ping Pong's name and chased her out.This pursuit lasted for a long, long time, until Sandwei accidentally met her.At this time she has gone crazy. "It's him, it's him. That Henan native brought a lot of little dolls outside and begged for money. Those dolls gave him the money they asked for, and he beat them to death if they didn't get the money. It was him, he stole it My doll!" Jin Hua nestled in Shi Xin's arms, her eyes were full of fear, intertwined with love and hate.Said through gritted teeth. "Jin Hua, as long as you recognize him. Let's go to the police tomorrow. Let's go out and look for it ourselves!" Shi Xin comforted Jin Hua in his arms.He looked up at Sang Dewei and said, "Ah Sang, I'll go to the police tomorrow morning. Don't set up a stall, let's go out and find the child." Sandwei nodded and brought over a glass of water: "Drink it. Jinhua." Jin Hua picked up the water glass, looked at Shi Xin tearfully, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, can you get Ping Pong back?" "Yes, I can." Shi Xin hugged Jin Hua and patted her gently. Jin Hua hugged Shi Xin tightly: "Brother, you must bring me back the doll. I can't live without the doll." , you can’t live without dolls.” After Shi Xin reported the case, he told the police the whole case and relevant details, hoping that they could help Jin Hua find the child.The case attracted the attention of the police, and an investigation was quickly launched after receiving the report. "There is a case. But this is not a complicated case." The police told him, "Finding the person who stole the child will prove the crime of the person who raped Jinhua." Shi Xin nodded.But he didn't know if he could find the child who had been missing for half a year in the vast crowds of Beijing.He even felt that even if the child appeared in front of him immediately, he might not know him anymore.Pingpong is only a little over a year old, and was less than a year old when he was lost. Perhaps even his mother, Jin Hua, could not recognize him. The days passed in anxious waiting. Jin Hua, who just woke up, kept crying.As the days passed, the tears also dried up.She began to calm down slowly and helped Sandwei take care of the vegetable stall.Apart from going to work, Shi Xin went to the police station whenever he had time, asking about finding the child.But winter went to spring, and in April of the following year, there was still no news of the child.Clues came one by one, and were denied one by one. Shi Xin gave up her own search and pinned all her hopes on the police. It was a weekend day, so Shi Xin took Jin Hua out to go shopping and take a walk.Jin Hua has gradually recovered from the pain of losing her child, and she is as childish as before, laughing and laughing beside Shi Xin.Shi Xin looked at the golden flower, not knowing what it was like.She is only twenty years old now, originally a sunny age, but in the days of wandering in a foreign land, this simple girl has experienced too much suffering.He was very distressed; but at the same time he was very relieved: the suffering did not wear away the innocence of Jin Hua, and once she temporarily forgot what happened around her, her face would show a bright sweetness like a flower smile. "Brother, will you still drive me away?" Jin Hua asked cautiously.This question has been hidden in her heart for a long time. She has always wanted to know, but she has never asked.She was afraid that her elder brother Shi Xin would nod or simply tell her that he would drive her away.In her heart, Brother Shi Xin is the kindest and most perfect person in the world, the person she wants to rely on all her life, but she also knows that she is just a country girl with almost nothing. Ever since she woke up and saw Li Ran who often followed Shi Xin like a shadow, her heart has never been calm for a moment.Although Brother Shi Xin has never been in a relationship, there seems to be a girl by his side at all times, and every girl is devoted to him.Whether it's Chun Yu's sister in the past or Li Ran now, they are all very good girls, and they all care deeply about Shi Xin.Jin Hua is still a very young girl, but she can tell with her girl's intuition that just like Qin Chunyu before, Li Ran, a beautiful girl who often appears by Shi Xin's side now, must like Shi Xin very much. Thinking of Li Ran, Jin Hua's heart would be filled with despair.Li Ran is educated, beautiful, and has a pretty good job.More importantly, she works in the same company as Shi Xin every day, and it is almost inevitable that she will end up with Shi Xin.Thinking of these, Jin Hua's heart ached faintly.After the ups and downs of the day passed, this girl's heart was so deep-rooted that she couldn't extricate herself. Shi Xin didn't nod. He patted Jin Hua on the shoulder and said, "No. Don't worry. How could I drive you away? I still don't feel used to it without you messing around with me. You don't know you're not here. During those days around me, how sad my brother was. I was looking forward to it every day, hoping to see my sister and see her messing around in front of me. At that time, I said to myself, if Jinhua still If she can come back to me, I will not ask her to leave for a day." Jin Hua felt that the hand on her shoulder was very warm and made her infinitely happy.Tears soon filled her eyes, she leaned her head on Shi Xin and closed her eyes.Tears flowed down the emaciated face. "Brother, do you really miss me that much?" "Really. When did brother lie to you?" "No. I know that brother will never lie to me." Jin Hua said, unable to hold back her tears, she burst into tears in Shi's arms. "Silly girl, what are you crying for?" Shi Xin wiped away her tears, held Jin Hua's hand, looked at her and said, "Brother will take good care of you. I won't drive you away again. Don't cry, you'll change when you cry." You're ugly, and not at all as good-looking as you usually are." "I'm not crying, I'm happy, brother. I'm happier than anyone else now..." Jin Hua wiped her tears, raised her head and asked Shi Xin, "Brother, do you think I'm ugly?" "Not ugly, you are not ugly at all. Not only do you look good, but your heart is more beautiful than anything else." Jin Hua smiled through tears, put her face on Shi Xin, and closed her eyes happily: "Brother, your heart is beautiful. I have never seen such a good person as you in my life." "Silly girl, how old are you? You still have a lifetime. Do you know how long a lifetime is? Do you know how many things you have to experience in a lifetime?" "I don't know now, but I will definitely know in the future. If you are with me, take care of me and love me, brother, I will feel very happy every day in my life." "Crazy, are you?" Li Ran stared at Shi Xin, "How much money do you think you have? It's fine if you give it, and give so much all at once?" "He is Ah Ling's younger brother. He is going to be admitted to university soon. I have never cared about him. It is right to help him now." "Then there's no need to give him five hundred yuan all at once, right? If I remember correctly, you sent him the money two months ago. Two hundred, right? There's another one called Niu Xiaoya, Is it in your hometown? You also sent her money." Shi Xin looked up at Li Ran who was standing behind him.She had her wallet in her hand, and a money transfer receipt from it. "Why do you rummage through my stuff at every turn? You even know what happened two months ago." Li Ran raised his head and looked at him dismissively: "That's right, what else do I not know about you? I even know how many decayed teeth you have in your mouth." He lowered his head and approached Shi Heart.Shi Xin stood up suddenly, reached out and pulled up Li Ran's neckline. Li Ran blushed, his face was like a peach blossom, and he smiled shyly.She pays too little attention to details, this is not the first time Shi Xin helped her pull up the neckline.Every time Shi Xin saw her neckline drooping, she would gently pull it up.At this time, there will be ripples of happiness in her heart.She knew that Shi Xin was not a person who would be casual with girls, facing a unique concern, Li Ran always enjoyed it calmly.In her feeling, Shi Xin is much older than him, and cares about her like a child.She likes the feeling of being cared for, she even considers it a kind of pampering.Because every time Shi Xin helped her pull up the collar, he didn't even say anything a little bit heavier. But she doesn't like that Shi Xin always puts his mind on those insignificant people. Shi Xin has always cared about Jin Hua and Sang Dewei, and Li Ran has no opinion on this point, because she knows that those two people are the closest people to Shi Xin in Beijing, no matter how much she objects, Shi Xin will definitely It was impossible to ignore it; what she couldn't figure out was that Shi Xin never forgot to send money to Ah Ling's younger brother and that little girl who had nothing to do with him at all, no matter how difficult it was. "Don't send them money in the future. Is it okay?" Li Ran asked. Shi Xin didn't answer directly, but said with a smile: "If you are willing to help me send money, then I won't send it." 李然嘴巴一撇：“切！我一个月才弄多少钱啊？哪有钱帮你管那些事儿啊？再说了，就算我有钱，我也不会管。我不是菩萨也不是活佛，我还天天盼着有菩萨能普度我呢！” “那你就别嘞嘞了，回去工作吧。”士心说着话，把李然的身子扳过去，在她背后推了一把。李然拗不过，只好悻悻地走了。走出老远，转过头来，眨巴着眼睛对他说：“赶明儿我要是潦倒了，您也时不时接济我一把。成么，菩萨？” 士心还没回答，附近一个同事听见了，连忙乐呵呵地抢着回答李然：“一准儿成。甭说往后了，就现在。只要美女你说句话，我马上接济你。就算让我下油锅我也认了！” 李然一闪身到了那个人跟前，伸手在他额头上来了一个响亮的暴栗。那人痛得嗷嗷叫，大声地说：“你这么凶巴巴的，哪个菩萨也怕了你了。看将来谁敢要你当媳妇儿。” 李然不以为然，轻蔑地瞅了他一眼，丢给他一句话：“就算满世界的人见着我就跑，也轮不上你来操心。总会有那么一个瞎了眼的家伙看上我，不信走着瞧。”她说完话，看看士心。发现张士心正在远远的地方虎视眈眈地看着她。她心里一乐转身就走，一下子撞在了工作间的隔板上，别人还没笑，自己却哈哈地笑了起来，笑声震翻了办公室。
