Chapter 185 Parents

How did the competition go?
Can I say that I didn't even participate in the competition, and didn't even enter the examination room?
If I say that, will my parents be angry?Jiang Xiaotian stood there in a daze, not knowing how to answer for a while.

He didn't need to answer, seeing his embarrassed expression, Dad seemed to understand something, but he didn't show any anger, but laughed and said: "Did you fail the exam? I knew it, your kid usually has such a bad grade in math." Poor, it’s just a matter of making up the numbers when you go, and you don’t expect any good grades in the exam at all. Just come back, you haven’t eaten yet, go sit there and wait, your mother will cook for you right away.”

My mother also stuck her head out of the kitchen and said, "Xiaotian, it's fine when you come back. It doesn't matter if you fail the exam. Don't think so much. As long as you study hard in the future, you will be fine in the college entrance examination."

Facing such considerate parents, what else did Jiang Xiaotian have to say, he said: "Okay, I'll help you, Mom." Then he walked into the kitchen.

As soon as he walked into the kitchen, Jiang Xiaocai found out that his parents were busy in the kitchen, and they had cooked a lot of delicious food, even fried fish and chopped chicken, which is only seen during the Chinese New Year in the usual Jiang family.

"Huh? Mom, Dad, is our family going to celebrate the New Year? Cook so many delicious food?" Jiang Xiaotian said in surprise.

"What year is it? It was your father who said that he was going to invite your Uncle He's family over for dinner tomorrow, so he prepared some dishes." Mom said.

"Invite Uncle He's family to dinner? Why?" Jiang Xiaotian asked a little puzzled, why did he think of inviting Uncle He to dinner this year?To say that the two families had dinner together, there was some history in the past. At that time, he, Taozi and Sister Ya were still young, and the two families would often eat together, lively and happy.

But these years, the conditions of the two families are not good, and the financial pressure is very heavy, especially after Taozi got such a disease, the family has not seen a smile on their faces all year round, so there is no reason to get together for dinner, so It's been years since we had dinner together.

Speaking of which, Jiang Xiaotian still misses the happiness of that time.

And what's going on today, but it's not the New Year's holiday, why did Dad think of inviting Uncle He's family to dinner?
"That's it, Xiaotian, I heard people say that your Uncle He's family may be moving soon. They are old neighbors who have lived together for decades. If you move, there will not be many chances to meet each other. So I I would like to invite your Uncle He’s family over for a meal, so it’s good to say goodbye.” Dad sighed and said, “Oh, it’s all caused by Taozi’s illness, and the family owes a whole lot of debt, even the house is about to be sold. , I don’t know where to rent a house in the future. Poor old He and his wife, they are already old, and they still have to be homeless.”

After hearing what his father said, Jiang Xiaotian suddenly felt a little understanding of Uncle He.When he was in the He family, when he heard that Uncle He had to sacrifice Sister Ya in order to cure Taozi, he hated him very much.But now he truly realized the situation of this old man, who was over half a century old and could not support this heavy home at all.However, his son may lose his life at any time, and his family may live on the streets, leaving him with no choice.Although he sacrificed his daughter's happiness, as a father, he will definitely not feel good in his heart.

"Dad, Uncle He's family doesn't seem to need to move anymore." Jiang Xiaotian said casually.

Dad was taken aback, and looked at Jiang Xiaotian in surprise: "Why?"

Jiang Xiaotian was at a loss for words, of course he couldn't say that he had just heard from the He family that Uncle He had sold He Ya to someone else, not only would he not have to move, but he would also enjoy happiness with him.He just faltered and said: "I just heard people say that Uncle He doesn't seem to need to sell the house anymore."

Hearing that Jiang Xiaotian didn't say anything, his father said: "Oh, why don't you need to sell the house? Your Uncle He's family owes so many debts to other people, and people are forced to ask for debts at the door every day. How can he cope if he doesn't sell the house? Don't sell the house What about Taozi's illness?"

Jiang Xiaotian couldn't deal with it, and it happened that his mother had already prepared a meal for him: "Okay, you two don't talk about other people's affairs, Xiaotian, let's eat quickly."

Jiang Xiaotian was eating there snoringly, he was really hungry, he went to Korea for a trip, he flew back by plane before even having a taste of Korean barbecue, and he didn’t eat a single bite in Xia City, so he He returned home without stopping.

Seeing the delicious food now, he felt hungry all of a sudden, and he ate it in big mouthfuls. The eagerness to gobble it up made his mother feel distressed: "This child, why does he look like several people?" It’s like you haven’t eaten for a day, eat slowly and don’t choke.”

While my father sat and watched him eat, he lit a cigarette and smoked: "Xiaotian, although I didn't pass the exam this time, I can't delay my studies. It's okay to lose the exam, but the college entrance examination I can’t miss it again. You see, your mother and I are both incompetent. What are we doing all day long? I just hope you can get into a good university. I don’t want you to stand out and win glory for us. I just hope you When the time comes, you can give yourself a job, and don't live a useless life like us."

Jiang Xiaotian raised his head, looked at the wrinkles on his father's face, and the scars on his hands, and nodded vigorously: "Dad, don't worry, I will not let you down in the college entrance examination. Go to college, and earn a lot of money to support you in the future, and you will never be wronged in your later years."

Dad's heart was warm, but nothing showed on his face, he just waved his hand: "Okay, let's eat quickly, it's cold."

Jiang Xiaotian lowered his head and buried himself in his meal, but he could feel the smiles and expectations on the faces of his parents.

The next morning, Jiang Xiaotian got up early, and when he walked downstairs, he looked up and saw He Ya's figure in the distance.He immediately remembered what happened last night, hurriedly walked a few steps to catch up, walked up to him and called out: "Sister Ya!"

He Ya was walking there blankly, and trembled when she heard his voice, and when she turned around and saw that it was him, a strange surprise appeared on her face: "Xiaotian, is it you?"

That look was like seeing the savior in the dark, the person he relied on the most.

And Jiang Xiaotian also clearly saw that Sister Ya's eyelids were swollen, and she looked like she cried for a long time last night.Thinking of what happened last night, he felt sad for a while, especially for Sister Ya. He really wanted to reach out and hold her in his arms, use his shoulders to shield her from the wind and rain, and wanted to tell her loudly: " Sister Ya, don't worry, as long as I am here, I will never let you suffer any grievances, and I will never let you marry that Gu!"
