When Chen Liang returned home, it was already dark.

When I took out the key to open the door, the huge house was dark, with no light or sound.

This makes him a little uncomfortable.

After all, in the past, Gu Hengbo always came back before him. Every time he got home, someone would talk to him.

Could it be overtime today?

This idea only stayed for a while before being expelled by Chen Liang.

Gu Hengbo told him yesterday.

I must have gone home to save relatives.

Turning on the light and looking at the empty mansion, Chen Liang felt that something was missing for the first time.

He took out his phone and sent a message to Gu Hengbo, but the other party did not reply.

The other side.

A tea city hundreds of kilometers away.

In an old building, Gu Hengbo opened the door and walked into a room.

Hearing the movement, the teenager who was struggling to write under the incandescent lamp raised his head and smiled and shouted: "Sister."

"Still doing homework."

"Well, there are still three test papers to do."

At the age of sixteen or seventeen, wearing a school uniform, he should look like a high school student.

"The college entrance examination is coming next year. This year, I will have to work harder and work harder. If I can get into a good university, I will give you a big gift."

Gu Hengbo, who just arrived home before dinner, smiled while standing at the desk.

"Sister, this is what you said, you are not allowed to go back."

The boy's eyes lit up.

Although they are not relatives, they seem to have a very good relationship.

"Sister, when did you regret it?"

Although his attitude toward his stepfather has always been lukewarm, Gu Hengbo has always been more cherish for this half-brother.

Her mother remarried when she was more than a dozen years old, and she grew up watching a teenager.

"Sister, can you tell me something, what kind of gift is it?"

The boy asked expectantly and curiously.

"what do you want?"

Gu Hengbo asked back.

The young man was stunned for a moment, and then he thought about it for a long time before hesitatingly said: "I want...a laptop."

Gu Hengbo looked at him without saying a word.

The boy was seen a little at a loss and felt that what he wanted was too expensive.

indeed.

My family's economic conditions are not very good. My sister went out to work early without even studying at university, and a better laptop would be a few thousand bigger.

For his family, this is not a small number.

"Sister, I'm joking, or else, if I get an exam, how about you buy me a suitcase?"

The boy squeezed out a smile and quickly changed the conditions.

Gu Hengbo smiled, stretched out his hand, and touched the boy's head like he did when he was a child.

"Okay, just a laptop, how about aliens?"

Alien?

Young people naturally heard of this brand.

It seems very powerful.

However, it seems that the price is also very expensive.

He was obviously very excited, but he was also very hesitant and did not speak for a while.

Gu Hengbo seemed to see what he was embarrassing.

"University entrance examination is one of the most important hurdles in a person's life. If you can really get an entrance exam, an alien, it's nothing, and I can afford this little money."

"Sister, I heard Mom say that you are also very hard working outside, making money is not easy, there is no need to buy such an expensive computer, ordinary ones are enough."

Gu Hengbo chuckled and rubbed the boy's head.

"Little Halal has grown up."

It is said that a man's head is the same as a woman's waist and cannot be touched, but the boy whose full name is Ouyang Qing did not show any resistance.

When Gu Hengbo came to his house, he was just a child in kindergarten, and in his eyes, he was no different from his sister.

"Listening to your tone, it seems that you can definitely pass the exam. Don't mention aliens or ordinary computers. Whether you can get gifts or not depends on your grades."

"Sister, based on my recent test results, one book is no more!"

The young man raised his handsome face and said with an air of air.

"Oh, is it?"

Gu Hengbo smiled and withdrew his hand.

"Don't blow the cowhide too early, if you lose your name next year, it will be a shame."

"Sister, you look down on me. Then just wait and see."

The boy was stubborn.

Gu Hengbo smiled more than ever.

Although this home is not big, nor can it be luxurious, the furniture is simple, the floor tiles are not paved, and even the wall coverings are beginning to fall off due to age, but her smile is purer than in the East China Sea.

"Well, I have a backbone, that sister will wait and see."

With that, Gu Hengbo took out a mobile phone from his pocket and placed it on the table.

"Sister, what are you?"

Teenager Ouyang Qing's eyes fell on the phone.

He can't tell where this is the latest Apple mobile phone.

"Sister doesn't know what you like. This is a gift from your sister."

High school students, who don't have mobile phones now, but Ouyangqing hasn't, and the family refuses to buy them because they are afraid of delaying their studies.

The flat-headed people who have suffered for a whole life often have high hopes for the next generation, hoping that their children can change their destiny and get ahead.

For this, they will be very demanding and cautious.

Ouyang Qing had always wanted a mobile phone, but she never dared to mention it. Seeing the mobile phone she was thinking about in front of her, her heartbeat started to accelerate, but she never dared to take it.

"Accept it, uncle, let me talk about it."

The uncle Gu Hengbo said was her stepfather, Ouyang Qing's father.

From the past to the present, she has always called each other this way.

Hearing this, Ouyang Qing stretched out his hand and said with excitement, "Sister, thank you."

"nice! You love it."

Gu Hengbo smiled and said, "Take the time to get a mobile phone card. If you need anything in the future, if it is not convenient to talk to your home, you can contact my sister. My sister has been outside these years, although she has not achieved much, but she still saves some money."

As another teenager, he must be busy nodding at this time, but Ouyang Qing did not do so.

He raised his head and said slowly.

"Sister, don't worry about me, you treat yourself better. I know that working outside alone must be very hard. You have to take care of yourself."

The children of the poor headed their homes early.

Although he hasn't said anything, he can see the grievance of sister.

My sister’s grades back then were not much worse than his current grades, but it was because of the money...

of course.

From his point of view, it is impossible to discuss the right and wrong of the previous generation, but for sister, he really feels distressed, and there is an irrepressible apology.

Gu Hengbo was taken aback for a moment.

Life is like this, like people drinking water, only one knows how warm and cold they are.

The complicated family has never made her feel safe. The experience that she could not afford to go to school at the time made her have a strong attachment to money.

That kind of feeling, people who have never experienced it will never be able to experience it.

"Sister, I will definitely make a lot of money in the future so that you can live a good life."

In the boy's clear eyes, there is a firmness that does not contain any impurities.

Chasing fame and fortune, sometimes, is not necessarily a derogatory term.
