Perhaps my mother had hit the nail on the head about my uncle's worries. My many similarities with him comforted his heart. Uncle dotes on me more and more. He liked to bring me along wherever he went and told everyone that I was his daughter.
After dinner, I washed the dishes and returned to my room. Just as I was about to lie down, I heard a knock on the door. When I opened the door, it was my brother. My brother is two years older than me and looks like me. When we were in primary school, people said that we were twins. And he always bullied me when I was young. Now that he's studying in the city, he sometimes only comes home on weekends, so we don't like to quarrel and fight as much as before.
"What?" I was on guard and stiffly asked him why he was looking for me! He won't come to me for no reason. I'm 100% sure he's here to borrow money from me!
"Hey, sister, can't I look for you for nothing?”My Gotham was looking at me with a smile.
"Do you have money? Lend me ten yuan? I'll pay you back a hundred yuan next time." He opened his mouth in less than three seconds. I knew he wanted to borrow money!
"No! You didn't even return the 50 yuan you lent me last time, and now you're lending it again. No!" I rejected her outright. You didn't return the money you borrowed last time. He had clearly said that he would borrow it for two days, but he had not returned it yet. Now, he was borrowing it again!
"Hey, I promise I'll pay you back. You see, every time I borrow money from you, when have I ever not returned it? Lend me another 50 yuan this time. When I go back to school tomorrow, Mom will give me my living expenses, and I'll return you 150 yuan together!”The elder brother patted his chest and promised.
He was right. Every time he borrowed money, he would return it. This time, he borrowed 50 yuan to return 100 yuan! Then wouldn't I have earned 50 yuan for nothing? Moreover, if he didn't lend it to him, he would definitely find all kinds of reasons to borrow money.
"Let's make this clear first. I'll borrow 50 yuan and return 100 yuan. You have to give me 150 yuan tomorrow!" I was worried and stressed again. After hearing his reassurance, I closed the door and took out a 50-yuan note from my hidden savings.
"You actually closed the door. Why are you guarding against me? I won't steal yours." My brother was slightly stunned. He didn't expect me to close the door directly. He shouted outside the door in amusement.
I don't believe his nonsense! My mother taught me a principle since I was young: Blind's eyes widened at the sight of money. After making sure that I hid the money, I opened the door and gave it to him. When my brother saw that I really lent him the money, he was so happy that he promised to return it to me tomorrow. He turned around and asked his friend to go to the internet cafe to play games. If my mom finds out, she'll definitely beat him up. Because my mom thinks that the internet cafe is not a proper place, she doesn't even let us siblings enter. That's why I haven't been to an internet cafe since I was 14!
When I was alone in this small room, I felt that this was the only world that belonged to me. I couldn't help but let my imagination run wild. I always felt that Bai Yuxuan's confession to me was like a joke. He wasn't serious at all. Did he lose a bet with someone else and was punished to pursue me? Boys like to play like this. He suddenly remembered that Bai Yuxuan and the others weren't still waiting for him at school, were they?？
"What are you doing?" I couldn't help but send him a message to ask.
I thought he would reply immediately, but after a few minutes, there was still no response. These few short minutes made me anxious. I desperately wanted to know where he was! I'm afraid that he's still waiting for me, but I'm also afraid that he's not waiting for me. She was simply brilliant! Wasn't Lin Zhenglin with him previously? I'll send a message to ask.
"Lin Bao, what are you doing?"
The second he sent it, he replied,"I'm still in school." Before I could reply to him, Bai Yuxuan's message came.
"I'm on the basketball court. Are you done?”
Bai Yuxuan is still waiting for me! This made my hands tremble. I wanted to type, but my hands were trembling. I originally wanted to send him a message after I came out of school, but I forgot about it! It was over! Would he think that I was playing with him?
"Ah! I'm sorry, I'm home." Although I feel guilty, what can I do? I don't know what to say!
He hasn't replied to me for a long time. Is he angry? He must be angry! I panicked and wanted to ask for more information. I braced myself and sent Lin Zhenglin a message to ask if he was ready to go back. In the end, he didn't reply to me! Ah! What should he do? Did I get into trouble?
He was extremely anxious, but he did not dare to send any more messages…Irritated emotions filled my entire brain! Forget it, forget it. I'll just throw it all away. I don't care anymore! He forced himself to regulate his breathing and calm down. It was better to recite the thought text. After shifting his focus, he felt much more relaxed. In an hour, he had memorized a lot of important knowledge. We live on the fourth floor. Although the old house doesn't look good from the outside, it's all renovated with three bedrooms and one living room. It was 8:30 pm. I knew that my mother had gotten off work when I heard the footsteps on the stairs. My room is just a block away from the outside, so I can always tell that it's my mother from here.
My room is on the left side of the door. I was already waiting for her when she reached the door, so I opened the door for her.
"Mom, you're off work."
"Damn child, you scared me!"
My sudden opening of the door scared Mom. Although she always liked to scold me, she couldn't bear to hit me. Instead, every time I came back and went to school, she would buy a lot of fruits for me. There will always be endless fruits and milk by my mother's side. These are things that my biological father and I didn't even dare to think about in my hometown!
I took the fruit from my mother and asked her if she wanted to eat. I planned to cook for her, but she said she had already eaten. I put down the bag and took a bite of the apple. The texture of the apple was my favorite and it was especially sweet.
"Sister, why are you like this again? Didn't she say that the fruits she bought had to be washed before they could be eaten?”I forgot that Uncle always makes me wash it before eating.
"Hehe, I know, I know." I stuck out my tongue in embarrassment and quickly washed it and placed it on the fruit plate on the table.
Out of the three rooms in the house, only her mother's master bedroom had an open-air balcony. It was especially like the room on television. I really want this balcony. Now, as she sat on the small balcony eating fruits, she could see the flowers and plants in the neighborhood, as well as the vegetables planted by the grandmother of the resident on the first floor. There were actually roses planted on the first floor next door. There were already three or four red flowers. Just as I was engrossed in watching, someone from the fifth floor of the neighboring building went home. I saw that the balcony door of his house was open, but I didn't see anyone. His building is one floor lower than the one I live in, so the fourth floor of my house is on the same level as their fifth floor, and it's especially close! He felt like he could reach out and grab the big conch on his balcony. The neighbor's house was always very lively. There seemed to be a few children who were about my age. I had accidentally seen his family on the balcony a few times before. However, the two houses were too close. Every time I saw someone coming to the balcony, I would quickly retreat into my room.
So I've lived here for more than a year, but I've never seen the people next door. I think I'm growing now, so I just ate a fruit and felt hungry!
"Mom, I went to the entrance of the neighborhood to buy food.”After saying hello to my mom, I wanted to go out and buy snacks.
"Wait for me. I want to go out too. Your fourth aunt and your cousin Shanshan are on the street. He asked me out for a walk." Mom was changing her clothes in the room. Seeing that I was about to go out after saying that, she walked out without even tidying up her clothes. The corners of her clothes were hanging upside down.
"Haha, Mom, look at your clothes, haha.”I couldn't stop laughing.
"Haha, your mother's clothes…" His uncle also saw it and joined the crowd with a wide smile.
"Hey, why didn't you help me take it off when you saw it? You only know how to laugh at me.”His mother flew into a rage out of humiliation. After saying that, she couldn't help but laugh.
After his mother was done packing, he left. I don't know exactly how big our community is, but this is a public housing area that was allocated in the past. We rented the house of a retired teacher. Each building had ten floors and each floor had two apartments. The stairs were in the middle and there were no elevators. After going downstairs, there was a bluestone floor and a small stone table. Going around it to the right was a small step, and going straight was the road. We usually like to walk down the stairs because it's closer to the entrance of the community. A few steps down was an ancient banyan tree as tall as a house. The mother and daughter walked hand in hand to the gate of the community and saw Fourth Aunt and Cousin Shanshan sitting in the community garden waiting from afar.
"Sister Shan, are you guys going home today?”I haven't seen my cousin for a long time. I miss her very much. She's a year older than me and a grade higher. However, she transferred to a secondary school in the second year of junior high.
"We don't have extra lessons on the weekends. We'll go home on Friday. How have you been recently? Can you still adapt to school?" She smiled as she spoke to me. Her smile made her even more beautiful. Sister Shan looked very much like those beautiful women in ancient times. She was over 1.6 meters tall, with red lips and white teeth. She had large eyes and a standard oval face. Her long black hair was casually tied behind her head. She was a great beauty even without makeup.
Not only do others like her, but I also like her very much. Her beauty gave people the impression that she was always gentle and ladylike. However, only my family and I, who grew up together, know that she is carefree and has a loud voice. Every time she was with me, she would laugh out loud when we talked about something happy. At this time, we would always be scolded by our mothers.
After meeting them, my cousin and I didn't want to go with their mothers. In the end, we agreed to play in the community garden and wait for them to come back. There were surveillance cameras in the entire neighborhood, so the mothers were relieved. They told us not to run around and left.
Once they left, we had no qualms. The two of us went first. The Ministores at the entrance bought a pile of spicy sticks and snacks and filled the stone table.
