Bai Rong left nothing for his mother and son except a tiled house and half an mu of land.

After the Bai Rong affairs, there is not much money at home for Bai Haoyang and Bai Tian to go to school.

In a humble house.

"I'm not going to school. My brother is going to college. My brother is going to the big city!" ", Bai Tian gestures, tears are anxious out.

Looking at Bai Tian, Lin Xia and Bai Haoyang were silent.

Lin Xia touched Bai Tian's head "Then what should you do?" Lin Xia was weeping as she gesticulated to Bai Tian.

Bai Haoyang did not speak, went straight to the front of Bai Tian "I want to say one thing with my mother, you good, OK."

Bai Tian nodded.

Bai Haoyang and Lin Xia came outside.

"Mom, I got a walk." Bai Haoyang took a deep breath and said calmly.

Recommendation, means Bai Haoyang no longer have to worry about tuition!

Lin Xia's weather-beaten face broke into a smile and her furrowed brow unfurled.

Lin Xia hasn't smiled since Bai Rong died.

Lin Xia patted Bai Haoyang on the shoulder. His eldest son had never let her down.

In the evening, Lin Xia made a big table of hot food, although not mountain delicacies, but Bai Tian was very happy, since her father died she had not seen meat!

The three men sat happily at the dinner table as if the tragedy had never happened.

"Mom, school starts the day after tomorrow. I'm going to take the coach tomorrow." Bai Haoyang's voice is very low, some hoarse, his eyes are still slightly red, but he does not want to pass negative emotions to his family, he cried for a long time before going home.

Lin Xia leng for a moment, then smiled and said, "Really, so soon ah, have money to ride? Mother has it!" "He reached into his trouser pocket and pulled out several bills.

But a white piece of paper fell to the ground, and the air condensed.

That looks like a case.

Lin Xiafie also like to pick up, stammering explained "no matter, this is your father before the case, I forgot to throw."

No one opened her mouth after Linxia finished her sentence.

Bai Tian could not hear, could not speak, naive she did not know what happened to her mother and brother, she finished the meal and went to bed.

And Lin Xia and Bai Haoyang sleepless all night, each feeling sad.

The next day, Bai Haoyang left, Lin Xia also in the introduction of relatives to do a servant.

Every time Lin Xia went home, she always said to Bai Tian with a smile, "That person's heart is good, and the salary is good for us."

But every time in the dead of night, Bai Tian in her sleep, always can hear the sound of the door.

After two weeks of such a life, Lin Xia could no longer bear it and became seriously ill.

Bai Tian cried like a small tearful person, Bai Haoyang came back from school overnight, take care of Lin Xia.

Bai Haoyang wants to take Lin Xia to see a doctor, Lin Xia always use weak tone to stop: "cough cough...... I'm OK... Don't waste your money..."

This time Bai Haoyang can do nothing but compromise.

The day for leave is fast approaching. Bai Haoyang had to go back.

Lin Xia began to work soon after Bai Haoyang left.

In two or three months.

Today is Bai Tian's birthday, just the school holiday, Bai Haoyang bought a piece of strawberry cake and went home.

Lin Xia to work during the day will give White Tian's birthday at night.

It was fine in the morning, but in the evening it began to rain.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier... Bigger and bigger...

Bai Haoyang did not trust to go out to find Lin Xia.

To the place where Lin Xia work, Bai Haoyang just know a big news: Lin Xia did not go to do a servant!

Bai Haoyang seemed to understand what, quickly ran back.

"Mother! Where are you? Mother!" Bai Haoyang crying, umbrella has been lost, wet, face hanging water do not know whether it is rain or tears.

When the dazed Bai Haoyang returned home only to find that Bai Tian was gone.

Bai Haoyang is on the verge of collapse.

When the door rang a young girl's voice "mom... Mom... Mother..." Though her speech was slurred, Bai Tian spoke.

Bai Tian spoke!

When Bai Haoyang and Bai Tian came to Lin Xia's side, Lin Xia had already been lying in the cold rain.

Her cold body, stooping figure, silver hair and old cheeks all became the last image of Lin Xia in the two children's minds.

What could be more tragic than the death of two parents in a poor home?

Today is Bai Tian's birthday, but also Lin Xia's death anniversary.

"Bai Haoyang, Bai Tian's parents Bai Rong, Lin Xia's tomb" in order to raise them two, Bai Rong died of cold, Lin Xia died of cancer.

But there are two things, is Bai Tian and Bai Haoyang lingering memory: donated kidney table, cancer report.

Silent love and silent tears became the only thing in this tiled room.

Oh, yes, there is the same: Bai Haoyang, Bai Tian adoption volunteer table.
