After returning to Sanshi Village, Qin Fan saw that several of them had big bags in their hands, and asked them to go back first.

He himself did not look back, but went in the direction of the orchard.

He asked the Xue Xue brothers to divide the 5,000 yuan originally given by the commendation conference, and he withdrew another few thousand yuan from the ATM next to the station.

"Is anyone home?"

Standing in front of the broken wooden door, Qin Fan tentatively called into the door.

He hadn't been to Zhou Kangsheng's house for a long time, and he hadn't been here since the last time he saw a doctor.

At this time, the courtyard of the Zhou family was closed, and the light from outside the broken wooden door faintly illuminated the room.

Their home has always been in such a dilapidated place, it doesn't look like it's inhabited.

"Uncle Zhou, Shui Ying, I'm here to see you, can you open the door?" Qin Fan raised his voice and walked around the courtyard of the Zhou family.

It is estimated that it is because it is winter, and the Zou family's yard is facing the back mountain, where wild animals are often infested, and a fence has been built outside the yard.

At a glance, the fence was made by those laymen, and it was not built neatly, crookedly and with the meaning of collapsing.

Now, the school has a winter vacation, Zhou Shuiying should be at home, even if she is not at home, Zhou Kangsheng will not go around.

Qin Fan thought that Zhou Kangsheng was in a daze, so he shouted a few times directly into the courtyard, and sure enough, there was movement in the house.

The broken wooden door was pushed open from the inside, and Zhou Kangsheng looked out with a pair of confused eyes, and the winter sun pierced his eyes, making him slightly squint.

"Qin Fan?" Zhou Kangsheng was overjoyed, and when he saw Qin Fan, a rare smile appeared on his face.

"Uncle Zhou, I just came back from the city today, and I thought about coming over to see you. ”

Seeing that someone was at home, Qin Fan pushed open the courtyard door and went outside the house, stretched out his hand to support Zhou Kangsheng's arm, and took him inside.

Zhou Kangsheng's body has recovered well, since Qin Fan operated on him in the backyard that day, he is now able to move freely.

It's just a pity that he is now old, and his body bones can't return to their previous appearance, and he is faintly a little old.

Qin Fan came to the courtyard of Zhou's house mainly to see Zhou Shuiying, remembering the last time Zhou Shuiying reported to him on a rainy night, Qin Fan felt warm in his heart.

Such a long journey, in the stormy night, I don't know how she came over......

After the winter vacation, Zhou Shuiying still didn't stop, she not only had to review her homework, but also had to go around helping others work and earn some change to pay for the next year's tuition.

"This girl in our family is bitter, if her mother was still there, life would not have been like this, and this baby would not have been in charge so early!"

Zhou Kangsheng sighed, and two cloudy tears wiped down his cheeks.

Qin Fan knew something about the things in their family.

Thinking that so many women came to the village back then, just to cheat money, the out-of-town woman Zhou Kangsheng married should be one of them.

"Uncle, I heard that Shui Ying's academic performance is very good, such a child should not be delayed, don't worry, as long as she is willing to study, I will definitely sponsor her." ”

Qin Fan opened his mouth and said what he was thinking.

For his generosity, Zhou Kangsheng naturally burst into tears, and after Ke was happy, there was a panic on his face that could not be concealed.

The life of the Yao family was already difficult, and now if Qin Fan is asked to help others, it will be gossip.

waited until after noon, and Zhou Shuiying finally came back from outside.

She carried a half-man-high basket with a pile of solid dry firewood, which she didn't know where she had cut it in the winter.

As soon as she arrived in the courtyard, Zhou Shuiying immediately went to the kitchen, picked up the tea jar and poured it into her mouth.

She was so thirsty that she had walked more than ten miles of mountain roads since early in the morning, and had only now chopped back a load of firewood.

And just such a backdrop of firewood can only be exchanged for a dozen yuan.

"Shui Ying, now you say in front of me and your father, what are you going to do after you finish elementary school?"

Qin Fan sat in the courtyard of the Zhou family, looking at Zhou Shuiying's immature face, feeling a little like himself who didn't know the world a few years ago.

If he hadn't been so lucky and hadn't met his master, I'm afraid he would have disappeared long ago after that car accident.

"I ...... After finishing elementary school, I wanted to work in an electronics factory......" Zhou Shuiying plucked up a lot of courage and took two deep breaths before saying it.

Qin Fan could see that this was not her intention at all, whether it was for Zhou Shuiying's kindness to report to her at night before, or because of her hard work when she was young.

Qin Fan really wants to sponsor this little girl to go to school, he believes that heaven is clear, good is rewarded, and evil is rewarded.

"Shui Ya, since Brother Qin asked, you should hurry up and say whatever you want, don't hide it. ”

Zhou Kangsheng wiped his tears, feeling in his heart that he only felt guilty about this daughter.

After half a year of study, after graduating from the township elementary school, Zhou Shuiying is about to reach the fork in the road for the first time in her life.

If the family has money, she will continue to enter junior high school, if there is no money, life is really embarrassing, she will pack up her baggage and go to work in an electronics factory.

There seem to be only two paths in her life to choose from, and the plan to work in an electronics factory seems to be the most feasible......

"Dad, Brother Qin, I actually want to continue studying, and the teacher also said that my grades are very good now, and I will definitely be able to be admitted to university in the future. ”

"However, I still have several years to go to college, and I can't wait at all, whether it's for my dad or for our family, I have to go to work in an electronics factory!"

After a detour, Zhou Shuiying's face showed an unprecedented look of determination.

Even if she is still young and goes to the electronics factory as a child laborer, it is not a part-time job, it can only be called help.

And the money sent to Zhou Shuiying is not called salary, but living expenses.

I don't know how many children there are in Sanshi Village, but after graduating from primary school, they went to work in other places.

That's why their village has been poor for so many years and hasn't changed.

The young people have gone to other places, and the village is filled with either the old people or those who have retired from work.

"Going to work in an electronics factory can only change a temporary embarrassment, not a lifetime, after finishing the village primary school in the second half of the year, you want to go to junior high school. ”

"I'll prepare the money for you, so don't think about such a hard thing for children. ”

Qin Fan squinted and smiled, reaching out to touch Zhou Shuiying's hair.
