I am afraid to going home
It was Friday afternoon after school that students came out of the school happily by twos or threes. But a girl was not excited at all, wearing nothing on the face, she walked very slowly. It seemed that she would not like to go home.
Her name is Liu Xiaoling, for earning money to build a house, whose parents went to Zhejiang when she was in grade four. So she lived with her grandmother, but who passed away last year when Xiao Ling was in the first year of middle school. Her parents did not come back yet, thus she had to be fostered by her eldest uncle whose living standard was rather low. There were already four children and grandchildren in that family, and her uncle and aunt were not in great health. Their living was very hard. So in every weekend Xiao Ling often went back to her own lonely home.
Xiao Ling's home was old and dilapidated. In school, she was very active, easy going and eager for studying. She often talked with us, about study, dream or something funny, everything but not her family. After several times' communication, finally she opened her heart to us that she was actually desperate for going home, the home with her parents, for she was afraid of suffering the loneliness when she found she was just alone in the empty house. |
