Chen Ziang had lunch at Fu's house, this meal was really delicious, she hadn't eaten enough for a long time.

Fu Haisheng gave her a bowl of steamed noodles, and later allocated the rice in his bowl to Chen Ziang.

"Ziang, I can't finish eating, you help me, otherwise my mother will scold me. ”

"I'm all overwhelmed!"

"Did I touch it?" Fu Haisheng said and was about to make a move, but the frightened Chen Ziang hurriedly pushed the bowl to him.

Lin Shuiyin watched the interaction between the two children, she knew his son's thoughts, but the girl seemed to be very ignorant, her son could usually eat a bowl and a half of rice.

In fact, she cooks a lot, and there is still one in the pot, looking at her son's appearance, Lin Shuiyin is secretly funny.

After eating, Fu Haisheng wanted to send Chen Ziang back to the hotel, but Chen Ziang refused.

Back at the hotel, the boss asked her why she didn't say goodbye and deducted Chen Ziang's salary.

"Uncle, I'm going home, today is the last time I come to work, yesterday I was not good, I didn't tell you when I left, you see, if you think I'm wrong, I don't want the salary, you just give me 2 yuan to go home." ”

The owner of the hotel heard that Chen Ziang was quitting, and he was a little reluctant in his heart, this girl is very capable, she does all the hard work, and the salary is not high, only 8 yuan a month: "Why don't you do it well?"

"I have something at home, and yesterday the teacher came to inform me to go home, sorry, uncle! Thank you for taking me in during this time!"

Chen Ziang thanked the owner of the restaurant in his heart, he has been working in his house for the past few years, eating and drinking, and giving some money, which no one else wants for a child of their age.

When the hotel owner heard that Chen Ziang had something at home, not only did he not deduct Chen Ziang's money, but also gave Chen Ziang two more yuan, Chen Ziang left the hotel with 10 yuan, and she didn't want to go home.

The parents have worked hard all their lives, raising their 8 brothers and sisters, and they have to worry about them when they are old.

They think that they have never gone to school, so they will send their children to school, although the family conditions are not well-off, and they do not have much financial resources, but they would rather save money from the food rations to study for their children, and hope that the children will have a good future income.

I also have hope for Chen Ziang, Chen Ziang studies well, and he will bring back a certificate of merit every time he goes back, so no matter how hard it is, they will not say that they will not let Chen Ziang not go to school.

I remember once Chen Ziang came home and said to his mother:

"Mom, I don't want to go to school anymore, isn't my fifth sister working in a provincial capital, I want to work with my fifth sister. ”

"Ang, Mom knows that you are the youngest of the sisters, we love you the most, but we treat you the most, your brothers and sisters are all old,

We are also old, we can't work anymore, we have no ability, but Ang, no matter how bitter you are, you don't have as hard as your parents.

At least you still have food and clothes to wear, and when your parents were young, they didn't even eat, they didn't even wear clothes, they were just a fig leaf.

You say, if you don't study, do you want to be like your mother, facing the loess with your back to the sky all your life?

Chen Ziang looked at his mother's gray hair and said nothing, his parents are great, although several of them are the products of family planning escape.

Mom and Dad's concept is very old-fashioned, but they have given them life, given them space to survive, although poor, but left them tenacity, just like Xiaoqiang immortal.

Originally, she thought she could be admitted to university, but the reality is cruel, what's the use of her usually studying well?

Won't you still be named Sun Shan when you wait for the official exam?

She doesn't want to go home, what should she say when she goes back?

She doesn't want to tutor anymore, three years have consumed a lot of money in the family, and she really can't open her mouth if she asks the family for money again.

Although the seventh sister-in-law didn't say anything, her face every time was like the eve of a rainstorm.

Except for the third sister, the rest rarely go, because everyone's family conditions are not well-off, and they have to raise children.

She sat by the river outside the county for an afternoon, and there used to be a good place here, playing and playing with her classmates.

I remember once when I went home with Xia Yan, Xia Yan said:

"Chen Ziang, don't worry, if I Xia Yan eats a mouthful of food, you Chen Ziang will eat a mouthful of food!"

"Xia Yan, don't worry, I've taken care of your studies, as long as you study hard, I guarantee that you go to a good university, and the two of us go to the same university!"

It's really ridiculous to think about it, Xia Yan was admitted to college, and she is nothing.

Chen Ziang found a BB machine number in his school bag.

This was left to her by the fifth sister: "Ziang, what do you have to do with this pager for the fifth sister, and the fifth sister will send you money if you have no money." ”

But Ziang never called the fifth sister once, the other sisters all have jobs, and life is not easy, and the fifth sister has not read much, so it must be not easy.

Since the fifth sister eloped with the man, the fifth sister has not returned home, and she has not seen the fifth sister for several years, and Ziang also wants to know if the fifth sister is doing well.

Ziang wanted to call the fifth sister to see if the fifth sister was doing well, and if she was good, she would go to the fifth sister and go to the provincial capital to work.

Ziang ran to the post office and sent a pager to the fifth sister, and waited for 2 hours, Ziang fell asleep while waiting, and the fifth sister returned the phone.

The post office asked: "Who is called Chen Ziang, who is called Chen Ziang." Ziang ran over with his schoolbag.

"Fifth sister, fifth sister, I'm Ziang!"

"Ziang, do you remember the fifth sister?"

"Why don't you remember? When I was at home, the fifth sister loved me the most. Fifth sister, how are you?" Ziang cried on the phone.

"Fifth sister is fine, Ziang, don't cry, don't you have no money? ”

"Fifth sister, I don't want money, I want to see you. ”

"Mom and Dad, will I come back to pick you up?"

"Mom and Dad are fine, Fifth Sister, you don't have to come back to pick me up, you tell me the address, I'll go by myself." ”

"You haven't been out alone, do you dare to come over?"

"It's okay, Fifth Sister, I've grown up. ”

"Okay then, when are you coming?"

"Fifth sister, can I go to you today?" Chen Ziang couldn't wait to find a job, if she could find a job during the summer vacation, she could come back to repeat her studies after earning money.

"Okay, you take the bus to Chengxi at the bus station, and I'll pick you up at Chengxi Station, but you can take the bus now until tomorrow morning, remember to send me a pager when you can't find me." ”

Chen Ziang hung up the phone, and the post office asked her for a dollar: "Isn't it to answer the phone?

"You use other people's things for nothing? This is the state, and the state stipulates that it must be given. Said the man at the post office.

"That's not so expensive, is it?Auntie, you see that I really don't have any money, can I give you 3 cents?" Ziang bargained.

"No, 5 cents!"

"Five cents is five cents. Ziang looked for five cents in pain, and then ran quickly to the station.

Although there were many sisters, in the environment at that time, everyone's life was not very good, and they all took care of each other. Chen Ziang thought of the fifth sister in desperation.
