"Mom! I'm back."

Back at home, Su Lin screamed proudly, but found that his mother was not at home.

"Dad, are you back?"

I looked at the bedroom and the bathroom, and there was no one there. It's already six o'clock today, and none of my parents have come back yet. What's going on?

"Really, my parents didn't leave me alone and went to the two-person world, right?"

Su Lin secretly smiled, and then took out a note from his schoolbag. It was his scorecard for this mock exam. The above records the scores of each subject of Su Lin's mock test, as well as the ranking in the class and the entire grade.

"When I usually scold me, I always find an accurate one. Today we finally got some results, but none of us are at home."

Su Lin grumbled and put the transcript on the table in the living room. Her stomach was already growling, but her mother didn't come back, so Su Lin could only turn on the TV and wait while watching.

After a while, Su Lin's mother, Liu Aizhen, came back, but she had a frowning expression and was worried, and she seemed to be ten years older.

"Mom! What's wrong?"

Seeing his mother like this, Su Lin couldn't help but clench his heart. He had never seen his mother so troubled.

"Hey! Xiaolin, Mom... Mom has been laid off."

After choking for a long time, Mother Ye looked at her son with tears in her eyes. Liu Aizhen used to work as a processing worker in the workshop of a state-owned enterprise. Although her monthly salary was not much, only more than 2,000 yuan, it was enough for her family's daily expenses.

However, over the past few years, the efficiency of state-owned enterprises has been declining. Many state-owned enterprises have already started to lay off workers on a large scale. This time, it was finally the turn of Ye Mu's work unit.

This afternoon, the workshop supervisor suddenly came to Liu Aizhen and told her to go through the formalities to be laid off.

"Mom is laid off?"

Su Lin's head also banged, which was a big blow to their family. Now, only my father is working in the transportation company. With a salary of more than 3,000 yuan a month, I can barely support the family.

And Su Lin will go to university next, where is not the place where he needs to spend money? The family's savings were not much, and now it is even more difficult.

"Hey! Xiaolin, forget it, I won't tell you. This is an adult's business, and your father is supporting you at home. You can study hard now. As long as you can get into the second school, your parents will borrow it. Money will also keep you reading. It's so late, you're hungry! Mom is cooking, it's strange, your dad hasn't come back yet, is he working overtime?"

After talking for a breath, Mother Ye wiped away her tears, then rolled up her sleeves and went to the kitchen to cook, leaving Su Lin alone on the sofa in the living room, full of unpleasantness.

"It has been difficult for my parents to support me in school for so many years. And I have always been so ignorant and didn't know how to study. Those tuition fees were paid for by my parents' hard work and every drop of blood and sweat."

Sitting on the sofa, Su Lin felt a little heavy and annoyed. Why was he so ignorant and didn't know how to help the family to share the financial burden, and he didn't study all day, making trouble.

"No! I've already grown up, and I'll be eighteen in two months. I'm part of this family, and I can't let my parents worry about this family and me anymore. I have to support myself too. Come to this family, my parents are old, they shouldn't be tired anymore, it's time to enjoy themselves."

Su Lin clenched his fists and frowned slightly, swearing secretly while feeling remorse in his heart.

Perhaps, it was unrealistic for Su Lin to think and swear like this in the past, but now he has such a magical ability to pause time. As long as Su Lin makes good use of it, it is not too difficult to just help his parents share the financial burden of the family.

Clang!

The door of the house was pushed open, and Su Lin suddenly looked towards the door. It was his father, Su Guorong, who had returned. But today's father Su came back in a very wrong state. He smelled of alcohol and fell into the living room crookedly as he walked.

"Dad, why are you drinking? Isn't it forbidden to drink at work?"

Su Lin hurriedly stepped forward to support his father. Logically speaking, his father drove a long-distance transport truck in the company, and he was not allowed to drink alcohol at ordinary times, unless he did not need to go to work the next day.

"You bastard, drinking again!"

Mother Su, who came out of the kitchen when she heard the movement, still had an iron spoon in her hand. When she saw Su Guorong like this, she didn't get angry, and she scolded loudly, "I told you not to drink, not to drink. , You still have work tomorrow, can you still drive to work after drinking like this?"

"What kind of work! No work. I don't want to be so angry, I worked hard to drive a car for your broken company for ten years, and I didn't raise a few yuan in wages. Now if I say dismissal, I will be dismissed. Company, I don't stay here anymore..."

After drinking, Su Guorong, contrary to Su Lin's image of being strict with his father, was swearing, swearing, and dancing, but he lost his balance and could not stand firmly. He fell on the sofa and fell asleep.

"What? Lao Su, what did you say? You were also fired by the company?"

Su's father's words were like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and Su's mother's face turned dead in an instant, and regardless of the fact that Su's father was in a coma, she stepped forward and shook Su's father's body and kept asking: "Old Su, you talk! Why have you been laid off? Isn't the boss of the company your former comrade-in-arms? If you don't want you, then you don't want you? You talk!"

After asking several questions one after another, but Father Su drank alcohol, and now he falls asleep on the bed, snoring loudly, and he can't wake up no matter how much he calls.

"Mom, is Dad drinking too much nonsense? You also said that the boss of the company is Dad's former comrade-in-arms in the army. It is impossible to dismiss Dad so suddenly. Dad must be drunk and talk nonsense. ."

Su Lin also frowned, looking at her mother's anxious look, she could only open her mouth to comfort her.

"What do you know! This day... this day can't be passed!"

Sadly, if the husband and wife were both laid off, the Su family would have no source of income at all. With only tens of thousands of yuan in savings at home, they would have to pay Su Lin to go to university. Money, money, money, money is needed everywhere, so how can it be good?

Heavy burden, hopeless future, guilt for my son! Su Guorong was still drunk, and all the pressure was pouring into Liu Aizhen's heart. Although she usually acts relatively strong, how can she bear so much pressure as a woman?

"Mom! Don't worry, I... I will live up to my expectations. Even Dad has been laid off, and me, I will support this family."

Su Lin stepped forward and hugged his mother, seeing her sobbing in his arms, his heart was sour, it was not a taste at all.

It turns out that it is not easy for parents.

It turns out that adults have so many troubles.

It turned out that my mother was not as strong as she seemed.

...

At this moment, Su Lin felt that he seemed to know a lot and understood a lot. Those childish ideas in the past are now so ridiculous.

Yes, Su Lin has matured a little, and people understand that living in this world means taking responsibility. In the past, there were parents who were there to help him deal with the aftermath when something happened. But now, this home has fallen into a precarious state.

It was time, Su Lin felt that his shoulders were instantly heavier. It was a responsibility, and he also had to shoulder the family.

"Mom, take care of Dad first! I'm going to cook."

Patting her mother's back, Su Lin took the iron spoon from her mother's hand and went to the kitchen to scoop out the soup that was being boiled in the pot.

"Xiao Lin..."

The steam in the kitchen was hazy, and Mother Su looked at her son's busy back, and felt a little comfort in her heart. In any case, his son, it seems that he has really grown up. Even if Su Lin couldn't go to university, he could honestly find a job in the future, as long as he was sensible and diligent, his family would not be hopeless.

Finding a trace of comfort from Su Lin, and the only hope, Mother Su cheered up. That's right, I can't do it, my husband can't do it, and my son, Su Lin.

Su Lin is all the hope of the couple. Unfortunately, Su Lin's grades are not good. If he really can't get into college, how can he stand in this society with his high school diploma?

Liu Aizhen knows very well that when young people are looking for a job, a diploma is a stepping stone. Even if you have a secondary school diploma, it is better than those who only have a high school diploma.

But on the other hand, Liu Aizhen is now afraid that Su Lin will be admitted to a university, especially one of the three universities with high tuition fees. Moreover, there is a high possibility that Su Lin was admitted to such a university. As a result, the quality of the school is not very good, but he has to pay a large amount of tuition every year.

Where does college tuition come from? This was another thing that gave Liu Aizhen a headache.

"Hey! Lao Su, Lao Su! I hope you were just talking nonsense just now. If you are also laid off, how will our family live!"

After shaking Father Su who was lying on the sofa like a dead pig, Liu Aizhen climbed up again with a sad face.

"Huh? What is this? Is it the result of Xiaolin's last mock exam?"

Suddenly, Mother Su saw the results that Su Lin had placed on the table in the living room.

"Why did you just finish the exam this time, and the transcript came down so quickly? Besides, when this little bastard's transcript came down before, he wanted to hide it and tuck it away. How could he be so obedient and put it on the living room table today?"

Mother Su picked up the report card, but did not glance at it more seriously. It's not good, but I was startled when I saw it. Yes, it was the score on the transcript, the class rank in that digit, and the grade rank in double digits.
