The Story of Bai Jie (4)

Bai Jie's mother was sick

Half of his body did not move, and his mouth was crooked

She came back from school with no one at home

Her mother asked someone else to accompany her and gave her living expenses to go to school

Dad drove a tricycle with Mom to the township for infusions

Wait for her to come back from school again

Mom did not have hemiplegia because of the timely treatment

But you have to take the medicine all the time

My brother went to Kaifeng and kept asking the family for money

In those years, "pyramid schemes" were particularly powerful

Mom felt that something was wrong with her brother

He pretended to be very ill and did not speak to his brother for a week

The brother believed it and came back by train

Back home, my brother sat on the kangtou

Talk about his life in a pyramid scheme

Bai Jie felt that it was an older brother she had never seen before

The brother also said that the family had lied to him

Maybe now he can be a big money

Mom cried and laughed, saying it was good that he could come back

Later, my mother was afraid that my brother would be deceived

So he went to his relative's hotel to learn to be a cook

In Bai Jie's memory, she may see her brother two or three times a year

Bai Jie studied well, but she would get sick every time she took the exam

She did not enter the city in junior high school

Attended a secondary school in the town

She left home to go to school with her good friends

She felt that everything had become strange

Insecurity

In the first semester, she did very badly

At that time, students loved to recognize others as older brothers and sisters

Bai Jie felt very incomprehensible

I have an older brother and sister, why do I have to recognize others

The dormitories were full of people I didn't know

She became very sensitive

She didn't understand her own changes

Curious but unfamiliar with everything
