Chapter 9 on livelihoods
Li Miao's mother's life is actually quite a legendary life.
Li Miao didn't know much, she only knew that her mother fell in love with a man when she was less than twenty years old. But in the end, the man did not marry her. The mother left without even telling the man that she was pregnant.
In those days, pregnancy out of wedlock was intolerable.
So after Li Miao's mother traveled to Linxian County, she married a man who had just died of his wife.
The man didn't care how much she had done before, whether she was pregnant or not. The only requirement he had with Li Miao's mother was: "You must be good to my son." As long as you raise my son well, you will definitely not treat your daughter badly. ”
Although the man acted rudely and had no culture, in that situation at that time, Li Miao's mother had no better choice.
After more than ten years passed like this, Li Miao's mother sent the man's son all the way to Cambridge. She fulfilled her promise with that man!
Li Miao didn't know what to say to her mother for a while.
She actually knows better than anyone else: her mother doesn't love that man, and when they were together, it was all about giving her a home.
But after so many years, that man has already moved his heart for his mother.
He pleases in every possible way, but Mom, after all, still doesn't love it!
Even if it is something like this: "It's good to stay in Nanshi." Mom, as long as you're happy, it's okay anywhere. ”
The decision to stay in Nanshi is good, but how to survive in Nanshi is not an easy task.
Nanshi is a first-class city that is ranked among the best in the country and even in the world. In a place like this, there is a lot of talent. My mother, a doctor from a third-rate small county, wants to return to her old business here, but it is too difficult.
But if you do something else...... Li Miao couldn't bear it.
She also thought about finding a job herself to relieve her mother's financial pressure. But the whole school knew about her poor health, and the news later spread to the nearby intermediary company, and none of the restaurants in the nearby alleys dared to use her.
She felt so guilty about this!
In ancient times, men started their own families at the age of fourteen or fifteen and took on the burden of the family's life. But as a well-educated modern woman, she can't support her own mother at the age of eighteen.
When she was alone, Li Miao was always worried.
But as soon as the mother appeared, the first thing she saw was her daughter's smile.
Although this girl probably thinks that she has pretended to be very good, how can a mother not know what her daughter is thinking? So Li Hua had no choice but to show her family background to this girl: "Don't worry about your mother, why is it that my mother is also a doctor who has been a doctor for more than ten years, where can she not find a job? I can't find a good hospital, and I can't find a bad one? What's more, my mother hasn't saved any money over the years." Although it is not much, there are still 10,000 or 20,000. It's enough to support Nanshi for a few days. ”
Mommy is comforting her!
Li Hua knows. But because she knew, Li Miao wanted to smile bitterly.
One or two thousand may be a not too small amount in Lin County, enough to last for a year or two. Available in South City...... Half a year is considered to be the top, right?
But she couldn't tell her mother directly, so she could only take advantage of the weekend to look for a house near the school with her mother.
On the morning of the weekend, after Li Miao accompanied her mother for two hours, she finally found a place where the rent was reasonable.
500 in January, a small single room of 10 square meters. There is no bathroom, the toilet is public, and the corridor can be cooked. I can barely live. But Li Miao didn't have a taste of what she thought in her heart.
She was already wondering if she could talk to the school about leaving the dormitory.
When she went to school this time, her mother paid all the tuition fees, miscellaneous fees and accommodation fees for four years at one time. If you return, you can also return a lot.
With that money, although it is not of much use, at least it can make my mother's life a little better.
And to do this, Li Miao can't book this house first. So she said to her mother, "I'm hungry, let's eat first, okay?"
The world is the biggest eater, Li Hua is afraid that her daughter will be hungry, and Li Miao plans to take advantage of lunch to tell her mother about leaving the dormitory.
Because there are many small restaurants nearby, Li Hua took her daughter to say goodbye to the landlord and came down from the upper floor, and began to look around for Miaomiao's favorite tastes.
Although her Miaomiao is a good child, she has not been a picky eater since she was a child. But there is always a preference.
Li Hua was serious, but Li Miao's heart became more and more depressed. She knew her mother's temperament, and probably refused to let her leave the dormitory. How can I get her to agree for a while? Li Miao really didn't know the bottom in her heart.
Her heart is in a mess, so even if it's nearly November now, her heart is still very dry.
However, just as they were walking down the street step by step, Li Miao suddenly felt a cool breath coming from not far from the left-hand side.
It feels like a hot summer day when a sea suddenly appears in front of you.
But this cool and refreshing feeling is not blowing in the face, nor is it blowing in the wind. Rather, along her left hand, little by little, into her body?
Suddenly, Li Miao remembered that she had been 'evil' before!
His face turned white all of a sudden.
It hasn't happened for a long time, and Li Miao thought it was over.
Could it be that it's here again?
It's noon, so how can there be a haunted at noon?
But if it's not supernatural, what would it be?
Li Miao couldn't help but turn her head to look at the feeling. As a result, I saw a fifty or sixty aunt on the stall not far away, pulling a water wheel, selling mussels?
