Chapter 424                                               

"What's wrong? Why are you crying so sadly? What happened? Could it be that something happened at home?" Lin Fang said gently and stroked her brother's head.

But it seemed that she had not heard her words, and Datou still cried loudly. Lin Fang had to comfort him. She was obviously a teenager and was still a few years away from becoming an adult, but now she was crying like a child.

Finally, Datou cried and he told Lin Fang the reason. Although Datou is just in junior high school and doesn't know anything, the call he received at home a few days ago made the atmosphere they added became completely tense, which even he was still a child.

Since receiving that call, he asked his sister as usual when she would come back, but his parents were no longer smiling and told him that his sister would come back after the summer vacation. Instead, he looked like she was indescribable. In this way, big head was completely panicked. Could it be that my sister could not come back?

However, he repeatedly asked his parents and parents that he never told him about this, so in his subconscious, his sister would never come back. But now he saw Lin Fang again, and the surprise in his heart was imaginable.

"Received the call? What call did you receive?" Lin Fang's mind was full of questions. Could it be that the reason why her parents didn't answer the call was because of the call she received in advance, but who called the call? What did she say to make her parents so nervous? A series of questions made Lin Fang's mind now messy.

I think only by going home first can you figure out this matter out.

"Boss, don't cry, isn't my sister back? Don't worry, my sister is fine." Big head twitched his nose and nodded gently. After all, he was still a child and forgot about these things in a blink of an eye, so now he smiled and took his sister's hand and walked home together.

As soon as the two walked to the door, their mother's figure came into Lin Fang's eyes. She sat on the doorsteps and peeled corn. Her old hands were covered with calluses. Her neat short hair was already gray and looked much longer than before. However, her father was not by her side. I don't know where to go to work at this time.

"Mom, I'm back..." Almost as soon as he spoke, Lin Fang's tears flowed out involuntarily, with grievances and sadness in it.

Since this happened for so long, my mother has not been to the hospital to see her. It is impossible not to complain. After all, that is his biological parents! They have not even gone there after such a big thing. But seeing his mother like this now, Lin Fang couldn't help but feel soft. His mother must have had his last resort!

The old woman sitting on the threshold slowly raised her head as soon as Lin Fang saw her wrinkled face, and the tears she had left behind were more like a dam that broke.

"Xiaofang, why are you back?" Her voice was trembling, as if she didn't believe that she could see Lin Fang here.

"Mom, I'm back. I took two days off to school, so I'm back. Mom, I miss you so much." Lin Fang could no longer suppress her mood and rushed forward and hugged her mother's thin body. The complaints in her heart disappeared at this moment.

Lin Fang's mother couldn't speak for a long time, but just hugged her daughter tightly, patted her back and said softly: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." It seemed that she could never say anything else except this sentence.

Big Head tilted her head and looked at her mother and sister who were hugging each other and cried bitterly. Her little head was full of questions. Isn’t it a happy thing for my sister to come back? Why do they cry? Big Head scratched her head and was puzzled.

"Okay, okay, come in as soon as you come back! I didn't expect that when you come back today, Mom didn't buy anything. Last time your dad went to the mountain to pick up something, so he came back and cooked it for you to eat! You must have never tasted such a familiar taste after being there for so long. Nothing is wrong with your body? It's fine."

Lin Fang's mother's nonsense words made Lin Fang know what.

It turned out that my mother knew she was sick and knew that something had happened to him. Even looking at her mother, I must be very worried about her, but why didn’t my mother take the bus to Kyoto to see her?

Lin Fang didn't believe that it was for fear of spending money or not knowing the road. Although his mother came from the countryside, she still knew a few words, and he and his younger brother were never afraid of spending money. So what was the reason?

Lin Fang couldn't understand this problem, so she tilted her head and looked at her mother. She didn't ask this question when she opened her mouth because she was afraid that once she asked her, she would hurt her mother's heart.

"Where is my dad? Why didn't I see him?" Lin Fang simply changed the subject, which not only made her feel better, but also made her mother temporarily forget the worries in her heart.

"Your father went to work. He found a job in the coal mine. Now he has to go there every day. But don't worry, the world of work is not long, so he stays there for seven or eight hours. The salary is still high, and the people in the village are rushing to go there! But your father is capable and strong, so the village chief specially chose him."

As if she was afraid that her daughter would worry, she said this matter easily, but Lin Fang opened her eyes wide in shock.

Their family is not rich, but relying on her father to go up the mountain to collect Chinese medicine and hunt for various miscellaneous work for so many years, she could barely support her family of four. Since she went to college, all the tuition and fees were the money she earned from working during the summer vacation. In other words, the pressure on her father and mother has been much lower, but why did she go to work at the coal mine at this time?

"What are you doing in the coal mine? Is that a lot of money at home? Did my parents have something to do? So the family's money is not enough. And I called you a few days ago, but you didn't answer it. I saw that the phone was not there, and you even bought a mobile phone before..."

Before Lin Fang finished speaking, she was interrupted by her mother: "The village needs to repair the circuit, so the telephone line is destroyed. Anyone who calls can't get it. My phone was also owed a few days ago. I don't know if you have called."

Lin Fang's mother seemed to be deliberately dodging something. Lin Fang could see something wrong with this matter at a glance. In the past, her mother wanted to call her one day because she was afraid that something would happen to her. But how could she have been owed this time but she didn't pay it for so many days.
