Day and night rotate endlessly, and the autumn atmosphere is getting thicker.

Tang's mother leaned on the table with one hand on her chin, looking at the various grilled skewers that filled the entire table. She secretly calculated how much more goods she needed to buy in order to sell enough and not have too much left before the big drop in temperature, which would cause a loss in her hands.

After thinking for a while, Tang's mother looked up at the empty tables and chairs in front of the oven with only the bleak autumn wind. She pursed her red lips and was at a loss for a moment.

Let's discuss it with Manman when we get home.

Manman is a smart girl, she should be able to give a good idea.

Thinking of Tang Manman, Tang's mother's beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed with a smile, and her eyes were full of happiness.

I really don't know what great good things I did in my previous life to give birth to a sensible and powerful daughter like Manman in this life.

Recalling the days three years ago when she was overwhelmed by debt and Qinqin's illness, Tang's mother still feels vaguely depressed.

Fortunately, Manman had excellent grades and received a large scholarship in No. 3 Middle School. Not only did he pay off the debt left by his father, but he also had a part left over so that Qinqin could continue treatment and not be kicked out of the hospital.

What is even more gratifying is that Manman was not taught badly by those bad kids when she went to No. 3 Middle School. She was still able to focus on studying, and her test scores were almost always among the top ten in the school.

"Huh."

Mother Tang exhaled lightly. Thinking of her precious daughter's excellence, she couldn't help but think of other parents talking about their children's grades in front of her. The corners of her lips curled slightly, and she felt very happy.

I don't know what's wrong with this child recently.

She always looks absent-minded.

She won't tell you even if you ask her.

Mother Tang sighed softly with some sorrow, and then quickly let it go.

Manman is an adult now.

She should have some troubles and secrets of her own.

After a long breath, Tang's mother stretched and felt relaxed all over.

Qinqin's condition has stabilized. After a period of observation, if there is no problem, she can be discharged early.

After she is discharged, the family can save some money.

When Manman is admitted to college, I will buy her the best mobile phone!

I heard that college also needs computers, ipa and so on, so I will buy Manman the best one!

Others have it, but Manman can't live without it.

Tang's mother raised her hand and rubbed her standard melon-seed face. Although there was some obvious fatigue between her soft eyebrows, she was more happy.

It seemed that the days to come would really get better.

The closer it was to the evening, the colder the late autumn wind became.

Because there was no business, Tang's mother had been sitting on the plastic bench.

Another gust of cold wind blew past, and they got into the pair of dirty cotton gloves, and unknowingly blew away some of the temperature on the slender hands.

Mother Tang felt a little cold, so she took off her gloves, put her hands together to her lips and exhaled hot air, then rubbed her hands together quickly.

Her slender white hands regained some warmth. When Mother Tang was about to put her hands in her pockets to retain this weak heat, she suddenly stopped and turned her head to look.

Ah!

My dear daughter! (o(* ̄▽ ̄*)o)

...

?

Why are you crying? (Σ(っ °Д °;)っ)

Seeing her daughter crying, Mother Tang stood up anxiously and ran towards Tang Manman a few steps away.

Coming closer, Tang's mother gently wiped away the tears that were sliding down her face, and asked distressedly:

"What's wrong, Manman?"

"Did someone bully you?"

"If someone bullies you, tell me and I'll go find him!"

As she spoke, Tang's mother's eyes also turned red.

Since her husband's death, she has regarded these two children as everything to her.

Especially the obedient and sensible Tang Manman. In addition to being pleased and proud of her excellence, Tang Yun always felt a little sorry for her.

If a child as excellent and sensible as her was born in someone else's home, she would definitely be a treasure held in the palm of the family's hand.

But she happened to become his daughter, and had to follow him to suffer countless hardships.

In Tang Yun's gentle concern, Tang Manman's tight mouth corners were pressed down a little more. She sobbed and lowered her head and said:

"I'm sorry, Mom. I did very badly in this exam."

Hearing that her daughter's grades had dropped, Tang Yun was not angry, but felt relieved.

It turned out that she failed the exam.

It was really scary.

Seeing this girl crying like this, I thought something big had happened.

Knowing that her daughter was not bullied, Tang Yun breathed a sigh of relief. She raised her hand and gently touched Tang Manman's head, and asked softly:

"Did you drop all the blood again?"Top ten in the school?"

"It's okay."

"Don't cry."

"Let's just work harder next time."

Tang Manman pursed her lips tightly, shook her head, sobbed, and almost cried when she spoke again:

"I'm sorry, mom, I'm out of the top 20 in the school, and I lost the scholarship for this exam."

"I'm sorry. "

"I'm sorry..."

The sun completely hid its plump body in the mountains to the west, returning the sky to darkness.

Tang Yun blinked her textbook-like peach blossom eyes in the darkness, as if she couldn't believe her ears.

Falling out of the top 20 in the school?

How could this happen?

This has never happened before!

Compared to the scholarship that was enough to make life much easier, Tang Yun was more worried about her daughter's current state.

Why did her grades drop so much all of a sudden?

Thinking back to her absent-minded appearance during this period, Tang Yun felt more and more that something was wrong. She frowned and almost blurted out the question.

The sight refocused, under the bright street light, Tang Yun looked at her daughter's sobbing and choking self-blame. She opened her red lips slightly, but she didn't utter a single syllable.

After a while, Tang Yun's expression softened. She opened her arms and gently hugged Tang Manman who was sobbing non-stop, and comforted her softly:

"It's okay. ”

“We made a mistake this time. We just need to work hard to get it back next time.”

“Don’t worry about the family. Qinqin will be discharged soon. The pressure at home has been reduced a lot. Mom can handle it herself.”

“Just focus on your studies in the future.”

“Don’t worry about the rest.”

Under Tang Yun’s gentle comfort, Tang Manman finally stopped crying. She raised her arm to wipe the tears on her face that were cooled by the wind, sniffed and said:

“Mom, I’ll go back to review first.”

“Don’t worry.”

Tang Yun said softly. She glanced at the charcoal stove next to the grill and said to Tang Manman with a smile:

“I just finished the exam. Let’s have a good rest tonight. There are no guests today. What do you want to eat?”

“Mom will grill it for you.”

Tang Manman turned her head and looked at the grill. After a moment, she nodded gently...

“Manman, has anything interesting happened in school recently? "

Tang Yun handed a handful of beef skewers to Tang Manman who was sitting next to her, and asked casually.

"No."

Tang Manman took the beef skewers, ate quietly, shook her head and said softly.

Tang Yun said "oh", and then nothing else.

After a while, while sprinkling seasoning on the noodles, she asked again:

"What about you?"

"How is your life in school recently?"

"Are there any places that you are not used to or feel uncomfortable?"

"No."

Tang Manman's answer was still those two words, and her voice was so weak that it was almost blown away by the autumn wind.

"Really?"

"But I see that you are always absent-minded recently. "

Tang Yun handed the grilled sausage to Tang Manman, and looked into her eyes and said seriously.

Tang Manman's hand holding the sausage skewer froze in mid-air. Under Tang Yun's slightly scrutinizing gaze, a trace of panic flashed in her red eyes, and she quickly turned aside, not daring to look at Tang Yun's eyes again.

"Manman, no matter what happens, you can talk to your mother. "

"Mom won't blame you. "

"Because Mom and you are in the same group. "

Tang Yun frowned slightly, and her tone was extremely gentle.

"Really, it's okay. "

Tang Manman sat on the plastic chair with her head slightly lowered, and said softly after a moment of silence.

"You..."

Tang Yun wanted to say something else, but Tang Manman didn't give her the opportunity. She put the steaming sausage in her hand on the plate, stood up and said:

"I'm full, I'll go home to review my homework first."

"Mom, you should go home early too. "

After saying that, Tang Manman didn't even wipe her mouth, and turned around and walked away quickly as if escaping.

Looking at her daughter's figure going away, Tang Yun clenched her fist tightly with one hand.

She must be hiding something from me!

I must find out!
