Chapter 4 The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked
"Lingzi!Lingzi! Get up quickly, your mother will scold you again if you get up late."Lingzi was woken up by her grandmother.
Chen Chunyan opened the stove door before dawn, boiled millet porridge, heated a few rolls of flowers on it, and steamed an egg for Xiaobo.
Although it was already the late 1990s, there was no gas pipeline in the remote small county town, and there was only one gas tank at home, which was usually reluctant to use. Chen Chunyan still used a honeycomb coal stove to cook.
"Grandma, it's not dawn yet, let me sleep for a while." Lingzi closed her eyes and muttered.
"It's cloudy today, it's getting late, you can't even get the toilet. Your parents are all at work today, get up quickly, so you can't get scolded."
Lingzi rubbed her eyes and sat up. The coldness in Xiaobei's room was so cold that she shivered.
"Hurry up and put on the cotton jacket, grandma is roasting you hot on the edge of the stove." Chen Chunyan handed over the cotton jacket, and quickly put on the bell, and immediately felt warm all over.
After washing, Ji Xueying also got up and went into the toilet without squinting. Chen Chunyan quickly served Lingzi a bowl of millet porridge, took a flower roll, and placed two plates of pickled vegetables on the table.
"Eat quickly, there is a poached egg below..." Chen Chunyan said to Lingzi in a low voice.
The heat of millet porridge was filled with the small room, and the air was filled with a warm and sweet atmosphere. Linzi held the bowl in his hand and his whole body was warm.
When Ji Xueying sat at the dinner table, Suzuko had already finished all the poached eggs and millet porridge and was slowly eating the flower rolls.
"I know how to eat all day long. I don't have any meat to grow. Those who don't know think I'm a stepmother and abuse you all day long."
Ji Xueying looked at Lingzi in annoyedly. The child looked like he didn't like anywhere. His face was washed, but his hair was tied randomly, like a handful of hay, with a look of unlucky look on his face.
"I looked dejected early in the morning. Look at Liu Lili, who is also a child, who wakes up early in the morning and recites English. Before I get up, I hear the sound on the other side of the wall." Ji Xueying stirred the hot millet porridge with a spoon in anger.
"After Lingzi finished eating, get out of the way. Xiaobo got up, and your father had no place to sit." Chen Chunyan washed Xiaobo's face with warm water and let him sit next to Ji Xueying.
Lingzi quickly stuffed the last piece of flower roll into her mouth and pinched a spicy lump and pickled shredded pickles. The place of right and wrong should not be kept for a long time. She understood her grandmother’s intention.
"I'll call Liu Lili to go to school." Lingzi carried her schoolbag and opened the door.
"Damn! I've been hiding with others all day long, and I don't learn any good places at all. Liu Lili is the study committee member. Look at how the other person raised that child? Alas!" Ji Xueying frowned and shook her head.
"Mom, I also want to be a study committee member. The teacher said who has good grades in this year's final exam, and whoever has the next semester will be a study committee member." Xiaobo said obediently that Ji Xueying had helped him peel the eggs and put them in the millet porridge.
"Xiaobo is so proud. Mom supports you. Let's study hard. Mom works hard with you and you will definitely get good grades." Ji Xueying smiled with her eyebrows and eyes. This child is really in vain.
Li Yibai sat at the dining table with a beard, which made Ji Xueying’s good mood that had just arrived disappeared.
I don’t know how long it took to take a shower. Li Yibai’s hair was greasy and his beard was not shaved. He sat at the dining table listlessly, and his expression looked like Suzuko.
"Disassinated!" Ji Xueying sighed secretly. It was all because he was blind at the time and was greedy for Li Yibai to have a job with a job with a strong job. Unexpectedly, after so many years, he still did nothing, and even his children were not successful.
After so many years of quarrels, Ji Xueying has long recognized the situation. Li Yibai, like Lingzi, is both hopeless. There is no need to waste energy and time. It is better to put your hope on your son.
When Ji Xueying took Xiaobo to school, Chen Chunyan sat at the dinner table and chatted with her son about homework.
"Yibai, you see, you are almost forty years old and don't clean yourself up all day long. No wonder Ji Xueying doesn't like you, can't we quit drinking?" Chen Chunyan sighed uncontrollably as she looked at her son.
"Mom, why do you dislike me?" Li Yibai muttered dissatisfiedly. Whether at work or at home, Li Yibai felt that he was at the bottom of the food chain. Although Lingzi was also disgusted, her grandmother loved her, but what about herself?
"Mom doesn't dislike you. People need to be energetic when they live. At least you have to set an example for your children and live a personal life. Look at what you are depressed all day long, why are you?" Chen Chunyan looked at the breakfast in front of her, but she had no appetite.
"It's time for me to go to work. I'm exhausted from work all day to night. How can I get energetic when I go?" Li Yibai didn't want to talk to the old lady, so he got up and put on a railway cotton uniform, opened the door and left.
"Oh! The whole family is not like a family. I live this life..." Chen Chunyan sighed and served a bowl of millet porridge, but found that the porridge was already cold.
"Liu Lili, just show me your math homework. I promise that it will take only five minutes to finish it." On the way to school, Lingzi begged Liu Lili, which was the only opportunity she could avoid being punished.
"No, my mother said that this is a harm to you." Liu Lili walked forward quickly. She was a study committee member and had to go to school early every day to collect homework.
"Please! Is it good to copy this time? I really can't do it." Lingzi didn't give up. Liu Lili took good care of her and tried her best to help her if she could. She also tutored her several times. Unfortunately, Lingzi's math foundation was poor and had very little effect, so she was left alone later.
"Shunzi, we are only in the first grade of junior high school now. The two-dimensional equations are the simplest. Your mind is not stupid. You are just too used to relying on others. My mother said, you must have confidence!" Liu Lili was also anxious for Shunzi.
"Okay! I promise to think independently next time. You can lend me a copy today, right? Ah? Are you just watching me stand up?" Lingzi looked at Liu Lili pitifully.
"Oh! You said you... you can't overcome your laziness from tomorrow?" Liu Lili couldn't resist her plea and took out her math homework from her schoolbag, "Do it quickly. Fortunately, I didn't have much homework last night, just a piece of paper."
Linzi took the homework like an amnesty, lay on the stone bench on the side of the road and began to copy it wildly. The work was completed in just three minutes.
"Liu Lili, you are so nice. You saved me again!" Lingzi's happy face turned red. Liu Lili shook her head helplessly, and the two walked towards the school.
"Li Lingzi, come up and do this question!" In mathematics class, Teacher Wang's majestic voice scared Lingzi, who was dozing off, so sleepy that she lost all her sleepiness.
"How could I know how to do this?" Lingzi stood in front of the blackboard tremblingly and thought to herself.
"This is my homework last night, don't you?" Teacher Wang said behind her with mocking sarcasm.
"Ah? I had known that I would take a closer look when I copied my homework in the morning..." Suzuko was so regretful that she scratched her heart and heart.
