Reborn sparrow becomes phoenix

Chapter 5 Hui Ye
When Luo Xingye returned home, he faintly heard voices in his mother's room. She must have woken up and was talking to grandma.

"He is good, I know the basics, and the child is honest and willing to do it..." Seeing Xingye enter the house, Grandma Luo didn't continue her words, but changed her mouth and said: "Yezi is back, there is no need to make dinner, you force uncle to go up the mountain I got two pheasants, and I'll let Xiuxiu send them to you when they're ready."

The mother and daughter thanked Grandma Luo and sent Grandma out on a starry night.

Xingye went back to the house to see her mother caressing the English book Xingye put beside the bed, looking thoughtful.

"Grandma is so kind. She always thinks of us when there is something delicious." Seeing that she was silent, Xingye said again: "My third aunt's brother Shan has sent a letter, and my third aunt asked me to write a reply for her."

Seeing that her mother still didn't answer, Xingye stepped forward worriedly, but Yu Youyue suddenly raised her head and said:

"Yezi, your academic performance is so good, it's a pity not to study, Hui Ye has suffered a big grievance, you must not be delayed any longer, let alone be like your brother."

"Mom, I..." Xingye was stunned, did Grandma say something that irritated her mother.

"Promise mom that you must go to college and finish your studies. This is my wish and your brother's wish." Yu Youyue said firmly without waiting for Xingye to speak.

Luo Xingye looked at his mother's solemn expression, and nodded solemnly in agreement. This was her goal in the first place.

"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely."

Yu Youyue showed a gratified smile when she got her daughter's guarantee, but Xingye saw the indelible pain in her mother's smile. What happened to her brother Huiye has become an eternal pain in her mother's and her own heart.

Brother Hui Ye has always been Xing Ye's pride. He loves his sister who is not related by blood. He is excellent in character and learning. He has been a class leader since elementary school. His various awards are all over the wall.It was this outstanding elder brother who failed the college entrance examination. Xingye remembered that when he came back from school, he shut himself up in his room and cried all night, but the next day he proposed to go to work as if he had nothing to do.

Because he knew that his young sister had to go to school, his sick mother needed medical treatment, and the family didn't have any extra money to repeat his studies for another year. He was afraid of adding to the burden on his parents, so he didn't mention the re-examination, but ignored his family's wishes. Opposed to work in the quarry.

He worked hard for more than ten hours a day, and his palms and shoulders were worn out. He never cried out that he was bitter or tired.After a few months, the hands that could not write a good pen calligraphy have thick calluses, and the fair skin is tanned and shiny.

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, Xingye clearly remembered that before he left, his brother pinched her little nose and said that he would take her to the county town after receiving her salary, and buy whatever she liked.She happily waited at home, thinking about buying two bottles of good wine for her father, making a new dress for each of them, and buying a new schoolbag. She is already in the third grade of junior high school, and the schoolbag is still in the fifth grade. She bought it when it was dark, but she waited until dark, and her brother didn't come back, but she waited for the news from the mine that her brother had injured someone and was taken away by the police station.Xingye was already in the courtroom when he saw his brother again.

It turned out that the mine owner was in arrears with the wages of the workers, and my brother only got a few hundred yuan of so-called living expenses after working for half a year.The young and energetic brother went to ask them for money, but was beaten out. The 3000 yuan was for my younger sister’s tuition and mother’s medical expenses next year. The red-eyed brother came forward to ask for it again, but was taken away by the mine owner five or six times. A thug beat him wildly, and the injured brother did not avoid the beatings of others like a madman, but only attacked the mine owner. The mine owner's nose was broken and his head was broken.They called the police, but the wounded elder brother was taken away by the police, while the beating mine owner and his subordinates were taken away as victims and witnesses.

The panic-stricken father asked people to inquire everywhere, and went to visit the injured mine owner with gifts, hoping to release his brother, but before he saw anyone, he was kicked out by a young and beautiful woman.The other party said arrogantly that it would be a light thing to beat someone in the county and put his brother in jail.It was later discovered that the woman was the sister of the mine owner and the newlywed wife of the county police chief.

Everyone is avoiding, even those workers who have not been paid, dare not stand up to testify for their brother, all the responsibility is pushed to the brother, the nature of the case has changed from a fight to a malicious injury, the 19-year-old My brother was sentenced to five years in prison.

While tidying up his brother's room, Xingye found a piece of neatly folded paper under his brother's pillow.When Xingye showed this piece of paper to his father, nearly half a hundred men burst into tears.

It was my brother's university admission letter, Huada majored in civil engineering, which is one of the best schools in the province.That's when everyone realized that what my brother cried that night was not because he didn't get into college, but because he had made up his mind to give up going to school, and he didn't want to add more burdens to his family.

The father cried, the mother cried, and the neighbors who knew about it cried. This is such a sensible child. He should have been the first college student in the town. He would have a bright future and a perfect life, but now Whose fault is it to be a prisoner?
Xingye felt sad thinking of her brother. Back then, he was ignorant and only knew how to cry. Now that he thought about it, the mine owner back then had no scruples with the power of the police chief. The brother in the detention center would definitely be retaliated by him. How many sins.

In the days after that, both parents lived in self-blame, especially the mother who thought that if it wasn't for her illness, the whole family would not be a burden. Broke, just didn't say it anymore.

"Yezi, mom used to be a college student of Yan University, but she didn't graduate." Yu Youyue said.

Luo Xingye's eyes widened curiously. All along, her mother was indeed different from ordinary small-town girls. She was more meticulous and temperamental. She thought she was a girl from a city, but she was a college student. There are even fewer college students before, not to mention Yanda, which is a century-old famous school!

"Why don't you believe it? This is a family tradition. Your grandfather is also a top student of Yanda University, and a doctoral student studying in France. Even your two uncles also graduated from university, so my little Ye Zi will definitely be admitted to university." Yu You Yue smiled and looked at her daughter who was struck by lightning.

Although Luo Xingye was surprised that her mother's family background was so good, what made her even more curious was that her mother took the initiative to bring up her past and family, which had never happened in the past 16 years. I was asked by my mother to open the topic, and after being sensible, I realized that my mother was unwilling to bring up the past, so I kept silent. Why did my mother take the initiative to bring it up now?
"Century Yan University, I've never heard you say it..." Xingye had a lot of questions to ask, but there was a knock on the door.

"Go and open the door, and I'll talk to you later."

Xingye went to open the door, it turned out that Aunt Luo sent Liu Yaofa away to find Xingye.The third aunt took out 2000 yuan to give to Xingye.

"It was left by Manager Liu. After you said that, he changed his mind and said that the compensation will be discussed separately. The 2000 yuan is for your mother to nourish her body."

Xingye left 1000 yuan, and returned the other 1000 yuan to the third aunt, "Third uncle helps with errands and needs a fee, this 1000 yuan, third uncle will use it first."

The third aunt of the Luo family refused to accept it, and after arguing with Xingye for a long time, she accepted it.He went in again and said a few words with Xingye's mother before leaving.

As soon as the third aunt left, Xiuxiu came over with an earthen pot.

"Sister Yezi, grandma wants me to send you chicken soup, it's delicious."

Xingye asked about Xiuxiu's studies, and Xiuxiu happily talked to Xingye.

Xiuxiu has been close to Xingye since she was a child, and Xingye also likes her to be obedient and obedient.Xingye saw that her braids were loose after a day, so she took out a pair of bows that she had made in the past two days. In fact, she sewed them with calico and put them on rubber bands. They are very cute and suitable for little girls.Sure enough, Xiuxiu liked it very much. When she heard that it was for her, she hurriedly asked Xingye to tie it up for her.

Xingye didn't braid her hair, but divided her hair into two strands, coiled it into two small flower buds on the top of her head, and then put the bow on it, and a pretty little girl appeared.Xiuxiu looked in the mirror happily, kept saying that she looked good, praised Xingye for her handiness, complained that her mother could only braid her hair, and ran to show her mother and grandma to see it.

Xingye watched her leave with a smile, children are so easy to be satisfied, such a small thing makes them happy.

Xingye boiled the chicken soup on the stove, and skimmed off the slick oil with a spoon. Mother likes light meals, and then picked up a piece of chicken and tore it into shredded meat, and cooked it with the porridge. Just make some chicken porridge!
