Suisui at Seventy - Chapter 7.2

Chapter 7.2

"Reading..."

Song Yuxue hesitated "Brother, it's okay if I don't go to elementary school, and it will cost money to go to the next level. Even if the village is all in elementary school, many girls don't go to elementary school..."

Song Weizheng listened to his smile and slowly faded. The expression became serious, Song Yuxue looked at his expression, knowing that she had said something wrong, and her voice gradually lowered.

"Song Yuxue."

Song Weizheng read her name word by word, and Song Yuxue knew that when it was over, her brother was angry.

"How does mom teach you? How do I teach you?"

Song Weizheng rarely spoke with stern tone to his sister who was born frail, "People can't help but read. Girls have to read. Reading can give benefit. You don’t get bullied if you know a lot, you forgot all about it? Don’t read it casually?"

"Brother... I was wrong, I remember... I was just afraid of causing you trouble, and I don't want to see you so hard."

Song Yuxue said, her eyes were red, "You rest every day of the year, even if you are sick. I have to work all day, earning ten work points, and all the money I earn is spent on my mother and me. The most diligent person in the whole village is you, yet, we are the one that drags you down..."

"Xiaoxue,"

Song Weizheng Looking at her eyes with a serious expression, he asked earnestly, "I'm usually at home, do you always say things like this, do Mom tells you?"

Song Yuxue nodded with red eyes, "Mom always said that it was because she was dragging us down. But I think if you don’t have me, you can be a little more relaxed. If you don’t have me, maybe Dad won’t have any trouble..."

"Xiaoxue!"

Song Weizheng interrupted her sharply, "How many times have I told you, don't say this, don’t listen to what others say!"

After speaking, he slowed down again and said warmly, "We are a family, no one is dragging anyone, don't think to much. In the future, when you hear your mom say this, also please persuade her not to make her think about it, you know?"

He rubbed Song Yuxue's little head, put the basket on her arm again, raised his head and said, "Go over there and rest in the shade of the tree, and have breakfast. Eat it before leaving. Don’t save me a ration, eat as much as you want and grow fast, eat more if you want to help me, you know?”

Song Yuxue has always listened to what he said. This time she was too anxious to help him share the burden and said so. After being said by Song Weizheng, she stopped refuting and nodded obediently, "Okay. Then I will go to the mountain to dig some wild vegetables. I don’t think there are many wild vegetables left at home."

"Okay."

Song Weizheng stood up and said, "Go, don't run too far to the mountain, go back early."

"Okay, goodbye, brother! I'll bring you some food at noon."

"no, I brought a cake, at noon, the sun is drying, do not come out. "Song Weizheng not finished, Song Yuxue waved run farther, he could only smile shaking his head, turned and continue to work.
