Because he told his father that the school had to pay money, and it needed hundreds of dollars, which was the money for school uniforms and sports meetings.

This money may be the money for an ordinary family and a child in the city to go out for a meal, but for his family, it is a huge amount of money that even has to be saved on electricity bills.

This money is a lot for the family, and it needs to be saved from all aspects, which naturally includes the electricity bill that can be saved every day.

The poor are all about saving money.

As for his hard work and grievances, he can only swallow it in his stomach, and everything is easy to say.

Although you can't find a job in the city for a while, you can get the food you want from the trash can, and you can still wait for the opportunity to earn money, instead of being like your hometown.

Even if you only have a few dozen yuan a month for electricity, you have to save and save, and you are reluctant to use more than a little, because there are too few places to make money.

And there are too many places to spend money.

Who wants to be so frugal, isn't there no way?

Originally, the families of the rich children in the school were all making up classes outside of class, and invited famous teachers to tutor them, and the cost of the make-up classes was much higher than the family's annual income.

Xiaoshan has always dared to have extravagant hopes, so he can only rely on himself to study and boil hard, so that his body has always been overloaded, and it is not very good.

When he was studying, he had hepatitis B, and he kept dragging it out, and later after studying and going to work, he suffered a lot because of this disease, and even lost several very good jobs, because he was reluctant to pay for treatment.

It's always like the thinking of parents in my hometown, I can't drag it out when I'm sick, I can't bear it, and I'm spending some money on treatment, but the symptoms are not cured, and the situation is getting worse and worse.

His last job was to be fired after being known that he had hepatitis B, so the boss was very angry and kicked him out, and he didn't get any salary, because a person with hepatitis B is contagious, working in a restaurant, even if it is just a chore, even if he pays attention to protecting others and himself.

For the restaurant, it is a very fatal thing, and the boss even asked all the staff to check it once, for fear that someone would be infected with hepatitis B, and this cost, if it is really counted on Xiaoshan's head, is also a huge amount of money for him.

Xiaoshan was very upset, he knew that he had hidden the condition of hepatitis B, but he had been examined in the hospital, and the doctor said that he was not contagious, he needed money for treatment, and he had to go to work and earn money.

But in the end, he didn't get his salary, he was still short of money, and he had to continue looking for a job.

Although he has a degree, he has not worked professionally in the right place over the years, has not outstanding performance ability, and then is timid, timid, taciturn, and does not please the likes of his leadership colleagues.

Xiaoshan lives with low self-esteem, and no colleagues are willing to help him introduce jobs, and he has no friends who are willing to pull him at a critical time.

As for the original classmates, they are not in contact anymore, because his classmates feel that others are too picky, and they have been together for so many years, all of them are other classmates to treat, and he has never invited others back once.

And every time you treat a guest to pack up leftovers, forget it, so what does it mean to take away some cigarettes and alcohol?

Although his classmates didn't say anything, they were very unhappy in their hearts, and gradually no one wanted to call him out to play.

After a long time, Xiaoshan completely cut off contact with those classmates, and the more mixed he was, the worse it became.

If he doesn't have the money to pay the rent of 500 a month, he is afraid that he will have to live in the bridge and go to the station, and it will be even more difficult to find a job when the time comes!

Xiaoshan sighed, and heard a voice talking outside, it seemed to be an old woman in her forties and fifties next door, and she brought her boyfriend back, hey, I heard that this woman has no pension, she used to be a nanny, and after living with the man, she was kicked out by other people's children after the man's death.

Later, this old woman often sighed and said that she was stupid, and she worked hard in other people's homes for five years, accompanied her for five years, and finally got nothing, not even a nanny job, not even a place to stay, and was kicked out.

And the old woman's child is also very difficult to live, in another city, in order to support herself, she made different boyfriends, anyway, this woman's wife died, just for life!

Xiaoshan was lying on the bed and heard the creaking of the bed next door with poor sound insulation.

The people who rent houses here are the people at the bottom of the city, and the people who live are particularly difficult.

There is also a couple with two children, who also live next door to him, because this is the basement, and it is very damp, and the room is very small.

The family of four, that is, relying on men to wash people's cars to make some money, life is the same as his, he has seen them go to the street several times to pick up those discarded vegetable cakes.

But when the male owner of this family met him, he would greet him with a smile, looking very happy, and he would talk to Xiaoshan, saying that they couldn't pass a high school in their hometown every year, let alone college.

They live hard, and the place where they live is not good and the food is not good, but if his two children are lucky enough to study here, they will definitely have the opportunity to go to high school and college in the future.

As long as he comes out of college, he will definitely be a hundred times stronger than he can only wash people's cars!

When he said this, there was light and hope in the man's eyes, and Xiaoshan was absolutely right, although he came out of the countryside, he was almost the only one among his friends who walked out of the mountain.

But his vision and habits make him incompatible with the city, if he was a child, he would be like the family next door.

Maybe he wouldn't have encountered so many difficulties in his life, and he wouldn't have thought about problems with the thinking of a poor person in the countryside.

And in his mind, there is a big reason why he has to stay in this city even if he wants to eat.

That is, when he was in his teens, there was an incident at home that he could never forget for the rest of his life.

The longer he stays in the city, the more he is afraid of going back, and the more he doesn't want to go back.

Because he was worried that once he went back, he would be like his parents, never able to leave the small mountain village, and never come to the big city again.

Because in the winter of that year, my grandfather was seriously ill and had a very bad cough, at first it was just because of the cold and fever, and then it became more and more serious, and the high fever did not go away, and my father was very anxious, so he wanted to go to the hospital!
