Chapter 68 Sister [Seeking follow-up reading]

Guanqi Primary School.

The first primary school in the residential area of ​​the state-owned cotton textile factory.

This primary school is located in an alley, with tube-shaped buildings on both sides of the alley for family members. There are several large millstones downstairs, and every day old men play chess around these millstones.

Over time, outsiders called this place Guanqi Hutong.

As a result, the first primary school in the staff quarters of the state-owned cotton textile factory was also nicknamed Guanqi Primary School by outsiders.

Walk into this alley.

Lu Yang naturally walked behind these old men and watched them play chess.

The game they were playing was still chess.

Five years ago, he had rejected that man.

But the reason is not out of hatred.

My mother left not because she had an affair, but because she couldn't live anymore.

Lu Erpiezi was not only a drunkard, but also a compulsive gambler. Apart from beating his wife when he lost money in gambling, he was good for nothing else. It was unknown how he managed to marry his mother, such a once glamorous and beautiful female educated youth who had gone to the countryside.

Anyway, the means are definitely not honorable.

There was no point for me to delve into it any further. Those who were supposed to die had died, and those who were supposed to escape had escaped from the devil's den, leaving me behind as a sinner or a burden.

My sister was only a few months old at the time, and my mother would have fled with her.

Then, she would most likely die.

But I am different. I am already 13 years old and humble enough to survive. After all, children from poor families have to grow up early.

Another reason was that the target was too big, and if he was taken with him, it was likely that no one would be able to escape, especially Lu Erpiezi. Although he was dead, he still owed a lot of gambling debts.

Debts are wiped out after death?

Isn’t there an old saying that a son must pay for his father’s debts?

Probably it is only in the household registration book that all the people are dead, so it really means that the debt is cleared when the person dies.

still remember.

Less than two days after my father drowned, just after he was buried, I learned that my mother had run away with my sister. That night my house was smashed to pieces, and even the only ten dollars my mother left for me before she passed away was snatched away. All the furnishings in the house, big and small, were either smashed or taken away. Even the bran in the rice jar was taken away, let alone a grain of rice.

I couldn't survive at that time.

It's all thanks to these debt collectors who are killing us all.

Otherwise, a 13-year-old boy would just drop out of school at most. With a few acres of land at home, he should not starve to death.

Mother, I should, perhaps, probably, not hate her, right?

But even if I want to say love, it is really hard to love.

She wasn't wrong.

I am not wrong either.

What was wrong was the era, the gambler, the alcoholic father, and Lu Erpie.

As a child, Lu Yang had no way of delving into the grudges between adults.

But it is also a fact that my mother abandoned me. If I don't go looking for her, I am fulfilling myself as well as her, and giving her a chance to completely break away from the past. We both have our own new lives, so why should we force ourselves to be tied together and add to each other's troubles?

That’s what Lu Yang thought at the time.

And it was precisely at that time that he and Yin Mingzhu got along the best. Just a glance from each other could make them happy for the whole day.

At the age of fifteen or sixteen, when I was innocent and blooming like a flower, I didn’t know how to think about the future.

Perhaps, the rejection back then was also due to some of these reasons.

Lu Yang had to admit it! Of course, his mother could choose not to disturb him, but his sister couldn't help but miss him. She was still so young. When she was only that old, she was carried away by her mother. Lu Yang was worried, so he begged that man.

It is also in this Guanqi Hutong.

The man brought him here and let him see from a distance his little sister, who was just four years old at the time, jumping out of the nursery, happily calling "Daddy", and pounced on the man next to her, hugging his thighs and climbing up. Her little mouth was as sweet as honey, and she called again: "Daddy, hug me."

Lu Yang had to admit that he was very envious at the time.

Really.

At that time, he had the opportunity to meet his sister.

The man did not object and even tried to persuade him, but he refused. He just hugged her as a strange "big brother" and then gave her back to him.

I was able to see that warm scene.

Knowing that his sister was living a good and happy life and would definitely grow up happily, he was completely relieved.

Today he is here again.

Still standing in the original place, Guanqi Primary School not only has a nursery class, but the man also once revealed that he arranged for his mother to teach first, second and third grade students in this Guanqi Primary School and became a teacher. So if everything went right, his sister should be nine years old this year, right?

Then, could it be that he is already a second-grade elementary school student, studying in his mother's class?

"Hey, young man, why are you distracted? Do you know how to play chess? How about you play a game?"

Watching chess without talking is a gentleman.

The old men were unhappy because they were distracted while watching chess, especially the one who lost.

Lu Yang didn't hesitate and sat down.

But he would occasionally stare at the gate of Guanqi Primary School opposite, for fear of missing his younger sister coming out of school. Moreover, so many years have passed, and he didn't know if he, as the eldest brother, could still recognize her.

"Hey, young man, you're really rude. Fine, I'll let you play next."

The old man who had just stood up was unhappy.

Yelled several times.

But he couldn't deny what he had said, and he couldn't just keep flattering Lu Yang and ask him to move aside. He could only stand aside and watch Lu Yang play chess with another old man.

This won't go well.

If you are a bad chess player, you will be severely scolded by this old man.

At this time, the old man who was playing chess with Lu Yang said, "You look unfamiliar, young man. You are probably not from our textile factory, right?"

Lu Yang nodded: "Old man, you have a keen eye."

The old man laughed and said, "You are a sweet-mouthed young man, but flattery is useless. I won't let you. Pay attention to the chess. If you lose, be careful that this old man will spit out all his saliva and wash your face."

After saying that, he also laughed and said: "Also, I am not someone who has a keen eye, I just lived here for a long time, and there is no young man around here that I don't know, and there is no one who doesn't know me.

Don't talk yet.

Let me guess again, since you are not from this textile factory, then you married a female worker in our textile factory?
But I see you are not that old!

Well, you don't look like an adult picking up a child from school, so you have a younger sister who attends elementary school here?"

With just a few words, he actually guessed it almost exactly.

This old man is not simple!

Lu Yang thought to himself.

He picked up the rook in his hand and was about to capture the opponent's horse and checkmate at the same time.

At this time, the school bell rang suddenly, and the gate of Guanqi Primary School opposite was opened. Dozens or hundreds of primary school students continued to pour out, but Lu Yang saw a little girl with twin ponytails bouncing around at a glance, and he couldn't take his eyes off her.
