"Mom, in fact, I think I still have a lot of time after school, I want to help the family with some work, let me start as a waiter at home, please promise me!"

"Yo, my son has grown up, he knows how to help the family, there is no shortage of waiters in our Zhang family, but if you really want to go, your mother can agree, but you have to promise not to affect your studies." Zhang Yang will be sensible in the future, and after hearing him say this, he was also very relieved to agree.

When Zhang Yang heard this, he hugged Zhang's mother very excitedly, but Zhang's mother felt inexplicable about it. In Zhang's mother's eyes, Zhang Yang has not been so happy for a long time.

After school the next day, after Zhang Yang and Tao Jingjing put down their schoolbags, Zhang Yang told Tao Jingjing the news. Tao Jingjing was surprised by this, thinking that Zhang Yang wanted to experience life, so she was very happy to work with him.

Although Zhang Yang has never done much work since he was a child, under the guidance of Tao Jingjing, he not only completed his own part of the work, but also helped Tao Jingjing complete a lot of work. Even though I feel more tired than before every day, Zhang Yang has a good time.

"Tao Jingjing, where can you sit and rest for a while, just leave this little work to me!" Zhang Yang snatched the rag in Tao Jingjing's hand, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and wiped her sweat with a doting face.

Zhang's mother told Zhang's father about Zhang Yang's work as a waiter, and Zhang's parents found that something was wrong with Zhang Yang. They didn't work overtime, they went home from work early, and they happened to meet the two of them working together, and the atmosphere was very ambiguous.

Zhang Yang looked at Tao Jingjing very affectionately, Tao Jingjing was working seriously. The Zhang family's parents witnessed this scene, and after seeing the two of them so ambiguous, they were worried that Zhang Yang would fall in love, so they went home early to discuss the matter.

"I've inquired, this little girl named Tao Jingjing is very good at work, but her family background is not good, I said how can Zhang Yang be so positive this kid, I think if this continues, I'm afraid he will have the signs of early love!" Zhang's father sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and said helplessly.

Zhang's mother crossed her waist and walked around the house uneasily, "Who said it wasn't! I thought he had really grown up and knew how to help the family, I think he wanted to fall in love, so let's do it, I'll quit that little girl from our house tomorrow, so that Zhang Yang has less contact with her!"

"That's a good idea! It's just that how are you going to tell the little girl, but I've heard that she's doing a good job, and there's no reason for us to fire her." Father Zhang flicked the cigarette ash, sighed softly, and said.

Mother Zhang shook her head, and made up her mind to dismiss Tao Jingjing and completely cut off the possibility of Zhang Yang's early love, "You don't have to worry about this, there is no shortage of work in our family, if my son confuses her, it will be a real big problem!"

In the evening, after the two got off work, Zhang Yang was about to send Tao Jingjing back, but was stopped by Zhang's mother. Zhang's mother offered to send Tao Jingjing home and let Zhang Yang go home first. Zhang Yang thought about it again and again, and felt that Zhang's mother would not do anything to Tao Jingjing, so he stood at the door and watched them.

Zhang's mother drove Tao Jingjing to the school gate, and said with a smile, "Little girl, are you in the same class as our family, right? Auntie heard that you are doing a good job, but Auntie is afraid that this will delay your study, and besides, we plan to work for a long time, so I'm really embarrassed!"

"We are in one class, it's okay auntie, thank you for sending me back. Tao Jingjing looked at Zhang's mother's eyes, immediately understood what she meant, thanked Zhang's mother with a smile, opened the car door, and planned to get out of the car.

Zhang's mother stopped Tao Jingjing, took out some money from her bag and handed it to her. Tao Jingjing didn't understand what she meant, and Zhang's mother immediately said with a smile, "Oh, don't get me wrong, Auntie doesn't mean anything else, this money is the salary that Auntie gave you, you should get it, you're welcome, take it quickly." ”

Before Tao Jingjing could react, Zhang's mother stuffed the money into Tao Jingjing's hands. Tao Jingjing took a cursory look, these were her monthly wages, and she hadn't worked enough for a month.

Since Tao Jingjing and her mother moved out of the house, Tao Jingjing has been looking for a job, she goes out early and returns late every day, but there has been no progress.

In the morning, when Tao Jingjing got up and quickly cleaned herself up and was about to go out for an interview without breakfast, Mother Wen stopped her distressedly, handed her a carton of milk and a piece of bread, and said, "It's okay if you can't find a job, don't exhaust yourself, your body is more important than anything else, you know?"

Tao Jingjing took the food handed by her mother, held her mother's hand, and comforted: "Don't worry, I am measured, you have to be careful at home!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the house, and when he walked out of the staircase, he was greeted by the cold wind of the autumn morning, which was extremely bleak and made it difficult for people to have hope for life. Just like Tao Jingjing's current life. The darkness is full of hope, and there is no light of hope

Tao Jingjing froze in the cold wind for a while, let out a long sigh of relief, tightened her clothes, and walked towards the bus stop.

At home, after Tao Jingjing left, Wen's mother cleaned up the house and sat on the bed with a sad face, she was very distressed that Tao Jingjing was tired of looking for a job every day, but she couldn't help anything, so she could only wait for her to come back at home every day and cook a meal for her.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Mother Wen thought it was Tao Jingjing who was back, she walked over quickly, pulled open the door and said, "You kid, did you forget to take something?"

Seeing that Mother Wen opened the door, Xiao Xiche clenched her fists a little nervously, and said with a smile, "Hello Auntie, I'm Xiao Xiche." ”

Mother Wen was stunned for a few seconds, recognized Xiao Xiche, and asked, "Is there anything you have here?" Xiao Xiche replied: "Can you go in and talk Auntie?" Mother Wen thought for a moment and turned sideways to get out of the way.

Xiao Xiche slowly entered the room, looked at the old furniture and damp rooms around him, and felt a trace of distress for Tao Jingjing in his heart. "Sit down. Mother Wen sat on the sofa on one side and said softly.

Xiao Xiche looked at Mother Wen's expression, although she tried her best to hide it, she couldn't hide the sorrow in her eyes.

He also sat down, hesitated, and without waiting for Mother Wen to ask, he first opened his mouth to explain his intentions, "Auntie, I came here today for the divorce between you and Tao Jingjing's father." ”

Mother Wen's face changed, her expression instantly became sad, she had not yet come out of the hurt caused by this incident, and now she was mentioned as if someone had sprinkled a handful of salt on the wound.

Xiao Xiche looked at Mother Wen's face, and said with some worry, "Auntie, don't be too sad, Tao Jingjing will be worried when she sees it." ”

Mother Wen stabilized her emotions and said, "I'm fine, why did you come here for this matter?"

Xiao Xiche was a little embarrassed, but still said, "I know that Tao Jingjing's father doesn't want you to share his money, so the divorce lawsuit between you and Tao Jingjing's father will definitely drag on for a long time." ”

He paused, and then said, "Before the divorce lawsuit is over, your life with Tao Jingjing is a big problem. Auntie, you have no income, and Tao Jingjing has to go to school again, so it is difficult to find a job to support your life. ”

After hearing this, Mother Wen's face changed completely, and tears flowed down, "It's me who is sorry for Xiao Nuan, I met that scumbag, and I stupidly believed him, so she had to take on the heavy responsibility of life at a young age, not only to study, but also to find a way to make money, it was useless for me." As he spoke, he burst into tears.

Xiao Xiche was also a little panicked when he saw Wen's mother crying, and he didn't know what to say when he opened his mouth several times, so he could only hand over a few tissues and quietly wait for Wen's mother to calm down.

Mother Wen took the tissue and wiped the tears that kept pouring out, and after a while, Mother Wen's emotions calmed down and the tears stopped flowing.

She looked at Xiao Xiche with some embarrassment, feeling that she was so embarrassed to lose her temper in front of her juniors. "I'm really sorry, Auntie let you see the joke," Wen's mother said embarrassedly.

"No, no, it's good for my aunt to cry out in her heart. Auntie, in fact, I came today to help you," Xiao Xiche said eagerly.

Mother Wen looked at him suspiciously, Xiao Xiche said angrily: "Auntie, you are not in good health, you can't do heavy work, Tao Jingjing is busy studying, I have thought about it for a long time, and I think that opening a flower shop should be quite suitable for your current situation." ”

Mother Wen's eyes lit up, thinking that this was a good idea, but after thinking about the current situation, her eyes dimmed again, "Child, I know you have good intentions, but we don't have the ability to open a flower shop now, so forget it." ”

"It's okay Auntie, I know that you are financially tight now, and I can provide you with the principal. Xiao Xiche said with some eagerness.

"Then how can it work, absolutely not, Auntie is in financial difficulties now, but I can't ask for your money. Mother Wen refused the proposal without thinking about it.

"Auntie, don't worry, I didn't give you this money. It's borrowed, but it's not interest, and you can pay me back when you earn the money. Xiao Xiche persuaded.

"Well, since it's borrowed, then I'll agree. But since it is borrowed, it must be played when the IOU is made. Mother Wen said, Xiao Xiche just wanted to refuse, Mother Wen preemptively spoke to stop his words, "I won't borrow if I don't make an IOU." ”

Mother Wen said as she turned around and went into the house to get a pen and paper, Xiao Xiche had no choice but to agree to write an IOU and sign her name, and Mother Wen also signed her name.

After the IOU was written, Mother Wen put the IOU away and looked at Xiao Xiche kindly: "Thank you so much, you have helped us so much, I don't know how to thank you."

Mother Wen thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Nuan has gone to find a job, when she comes back, Auntie will cook a big meal, let's have a meal together, thank you so much." ”
