That night.

Lin Ming slept at Fu Zheng's house.

The Tumin Village did not have such good conditions, and it was impossible to arrange them in a centralized manner. We could only let these villagers allocate places for Lin Ming and others to live.

Fu Zheng only has a yellow clay kang in his home.

Fu Yang and Fu Yue slept on the left side of the Tukang.

The right side is the space reserved for Lin Ming.

Fu Zheng, Feng Xia and Fu Xing were just laying floors.

Feng Xia brought Lin Ming a brand new quilt, the one with big red flowers on it.

It is said that when Fu Zheng and Feng Xia got married, it was one of only two quilts that Feng Xia brought.

Even now I am not willing to take it out and cover it, I just take it out to dry in the sun every year.

There were several patches on them that were probably torn after being left there for a long time, so Feng Xia sewed them again.

That night, Lin Ming couldn't sleep.

Thinking of Xuanxuan living in a 50 million house, and then looking at Fu Yang and Fu Yue lying aside.

He only felt that his chest was tight and it was a little difficult to breathe.

until 8 am.

There was a voice outside.

Lin Ming suddenly woke up.

He didn't go to bed until 3 o'clock this morning.

I saw Fu Yang and Fu Yuezheng sitting aside honestly. Feng Xia seemed to be telling them not to talk loudly and disturb Lin Ming's sleep.

Fu Zheng walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of porridge.

Fu Xing disappeared.

"Where is Fu Xing?" Lin Ming asked.

"Go to school."

Fu Zheng placed the steaming porridge in front of Lin Ming.

Then he added: "I left at 4 o'clock this morning. I should have arrived at school by now."

Lin Ming nodded slightly: "Is there any water? Let me wash up."

"Outside." Fu Zheng said.

He took Lin Ming to a well.

I saw Xu Ye, Zhao Yijin, Fang Zhe and others all here.

"Just wash it here." Fu Zheng said.

"Well, thank you for your hard work. You can go back first." Lin Ming said with a smile.

"good."

After Fu Zheng leaves.

Xu Ye smiled and asked: "Mr. Lin, how do you feel?"

Lin Ming scooped up a cup of water. He could see that there was a lot of sand and moss in the water.

He doesn't care either.

While brushing his teeth, he said, "Mr. Xu should have seen these poor mountainous areas a long time ago, right?"

"Um."

Xu Ye nodded and said: "Actually, when I was a child, I lived a more miserable life than here. When I was hungry, I would look for food in the trash can, and when I was sleepy, I would sleep on the street. In comparison, whether it is parents or grandparents, these children at least have

My relatives take care of me, but I still don’t know who my parents are."

"It is precisely because of this that I want to do my best to help them so that they can grow up safely."

Lin Ming spit out the well water in his mouth.

He sighed softly: "To be honest, without personally experiencing this kind of life, I really can't imagine how difficult it must be for these people."

"Before coming here, I had tried my best to imagine the word 'poverty', but when I actually got here, I realized that my understanding of this world was still too little."

Xu Ye shook his head and smiled, without saying anything more.

Perhaps in his heart, he also hoped that Lin Ming could join hands with him to build the dream of charity.

But to put it bluntly, charity means spending money in vain.

How could he, Xu Ye, take the initiative to speak if others didn't speak first?

Lin Ming simply washed his face.

Then he asked Zhao Yijin: "Can you get used to it?"

"You can get used to it, why can't I?" Zhao Yijin said angrily.

Lin Ming rolled his eyes: "Can you speak properly?"

"Have you ever heard me talk properly?" Zhao Yijin snorted.

Seeing that many people were looking at him, Lin Ming was worried that they might misunderstand something, so he simply said no more.

On the contrary, it was Zhao Yijin.

Seeing Lin Ming leaving, he quickly packed up his toiletries and followed Lin Ming quietly.

Lin Ming suddenly stopped, and Zhao Yijin bumped into Lin Ming's back.

"You don't look at the road?" Lin Ming said helplessly.

"I, I..."

Zhao Yijin's eyes turned red with grievance: "Lin Ming, you obviously care about me! Since you care about me so much, why can't you give me a chance?"

"Zhao Yijin!"

Lin Ming said seriously: "I care about you because we are good friends, because you have helped me, and because I treat you as my sister!"

"I have never thought about riding two boats, and I have never thought about playing hard to get."

"You have your life, and I have my family."

"On these basis, if you can understand, then I am willing to treat you as my sister and take care of you."

"But if you are still stubborn..."

"Then what do you do?" Zhao Yijin clenched his hands.

"Then we really don't even have to be friends anymore."

After Lin Ming finished speaking, he walked directly towards Fu Zheng's house.

Zhao Yijin stood there blankly.

She didn't wipe her tears until Lin Ming's figure completely disappeared.

"Lin Ming, unless you and Chen Jia really remarry, don't expect me, Zhao Yijin, to give up!"

…

He didn't have a good meal last night, so Lin Ming was really hungry.

After drinking two large bowls of water porridge, Zhou Mingli called everyone out.

I didn’t say anything else. I will stay here in Tumin Village for about the next week.

Occasionally I will visit other nearby villages so that everyone can appreciate more of the scenery in the mountains and feel more of the simplicity and kindness of these villagers.

In fact, everyone knows what Zhou Mingli means.

Lin Ming took out his mobile phone and took a photo to show to Chen Jia when he got back.

There is no way, there is no Internet here, not even electricity, let alone sending it to Chen Jia, it is difficult to make a phone call.

Zhao Yijin suddenly appeared in front of Lin Ming.

There was a smile on her face. She was no longer as cold as an iceberg as before, but instead she was playful and cute.

"What are you doing?" Lin Ming frowned.

"elder brother!"

Zhao Yijin put his hands behind his back: "Don't you treat me like a sister? Then I will call you brother from now on. Anyway, your birthday is indeed a few days older than mine, so I won't suffer."

"What kind of trouble are you making?" Lin Ming felt helpless for a while.

"Brother, I figured it out!"

Zhao Yijin said: "Since you like Chen Jia so much, I can't break you up, right? At least this will make you a little gentler to me, don't you think?"
