Fang Xiaoyu didn't plan to go to Zhang Aihua in the first place, the woman just didn't say it, and Fang Xiaoyu wouldn't either.

From the woman's mouth, Fang Xiaoyu knew the basic situation of the Jiang family, and at present, the two sisters Jiang Yan and the old man Jiang live in a bungalow of less than 20 square meters in the village.

Jiang Yan's own house was occupied by his uncle three years ago after the death of her parents.

After that, the house was rented by her uncle to a part-time worker near the village, and the rental fee for renting out the house alone was about 3,000 yuan for one year, which was nearly 10,000 yuan in three years.

This 10,000 yuan of money will naturally not be handed over to Jiang Yan, and it will also be ignored by Jiang Yan's uncle.

The two sisters have had an extremely hard life in the past three years.

If it weren't for Old Man Jiang's presence, the two sisters would probably starve to death.

But I heard the woman say that in the past two days, the old man Fang went out to pick up garbage, suffered from the wind cold, and fell ill.

Fang Xiaoyu went to the residence of Old Man Fang and Jiang Yan again, which was a bungalow with a painted mahogany door ajar.

In the house of twenty pings, there is nothing but two beds and basic living equipment.

A small window opened next to the door, and it looked like it couldn't block out the wind and rain at all.

Fang Xiaoyu's heart swelled with sourness.

In the open space in front of the door, Jiang Yan and Jiang Xia were washing clothes, the two were wearing shabby cotton clothes and cotton pants, and there were several patches on the clothes and pants.

Jiang Yan, who was 15 or 6 years old, looked like a child in his early 10s, short and thin, with a slea and yellow face, and dry hair like an elderly seventy-year-old.

Jiang Xia, who was next to Jiang Yan, was three or four years younger than Jiang Yan, and she looked much better than Jiang Yan, even if she was half a head taller than Jiang Yan.

When Fang Xiaoyu secretly looked at the two of them, Jiang Xia suddenly hissed, "Sister, the water is so cold, why don't we add some warm water." ”

Jiang Yan took Jiang Xia's hand out of the barrel, frustrated her hand, and put it under her armpit for a few minutes.

"Don't wash it, I'll wash these clothes, don't add warm water, I'm not cold. ”

Jiang Xia's eyes were red, and tears fell down her eyes, "Sister, you are the same as me, you are both human, and you are not the unconscious iron and wood, how can you not be cold when I am cold, you are distressed about coal money, and you are reluctant to heat water." ”

My sister has always been like this, she is reluctant to suffer a little bit, but she never complains of tiredness or bitterness.

Jiang Xia took her hand out from under her sister's armpit, held her sister's hands covered with frostbite, and her tears fell even more fiercely, "Sister, your hands are frozen like this, just add some hot water." ”

There are still two or three months to pass this winter, and this year's winter is very cold, my sister's hands are cracked in several places, and my sister is reluctant to spend money on ointment.

If this continues, Jiang Xia doubts that her sister's hand will be wasted.

Jiang Xia smiled, "It's okay, it's good in winter, don't worry, don't stay at the door, it's windy, hurry up and go into the house and do your homework early." ”

Jiang Xia didn't listen to her sister's words, put her hand into the barrel again, and said categorically, "Sister, I don't want to study, I'll work with you." ”

As soon as Jiang Xia said not to read, Jiang Yan, who had been whispering to her, changed her face.

said angrily, "What are you talking about, you don't read, do you want to be a blind man with open eyes, you know how terrible it can be to be uneducated." Don't say anything like this in the future, my sister doesn't want to hear it. ”

After speaking, Jiang Yan snatched the clothes from Jiang Xia's hand, "Sister doesn't need you to wash clothes, and I don't want you to do housework, you can read the book to me." ”

Jiang Yan knew that her sister said such a thing for the sake of money, and said, "Sister will find a way to deal with money, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

"Sister, how can you figure out a way, your relatives can borrow everything, and now who will lend us money. ”

In the past three years, Mr. Jiang and Jiang Yan have borrowed thousands of dollars from relatives one after another, and all the favors that can be used have been used up.

Borrowing money from someone is a favor, borrowing it twice is licking your face.

Every time she went out to borrow money and came back, Jiang Xia would see her sister crying secretly.

How strong her sister's temper is, but for the sake of money, she has to lower her head, Jiang Xia knows how bitter her sister is in her heart, she wants to help her sister and help this family.

"Sister, grandpa is sick again now, and he needs money everywhere. For the sake of this family, sister, you have dropped out of school, why can't I do something for this family like you. I don't study anymore, I want to be like you, I want to work, I want to make money. ”

The more Jiang Xia spoke, the louder she became, and the more fierce her tears became.

Jiang Yan angrily stretched out his hand to slap him, looking at the stubborn face that his sister greeted him, and put down his outstretched hand again, "Xia, you are not a child anymore, just because your sister dropped out of school herself, it is even more necessary for you to be able to read well, find a good job in the future, and fight for our family, don't you understand your sister's hard work?"

Jiang Yan's eyes were also red, "Sister, I know, I know, but my sister sacrificed herself for me, which makes me so sad." ”

Obviously, my sister can graduate from high school in just half a year, but now she drops out of school halfway, and all she takes out is the first Chinese certificate.

Although Jiang Xia has not yet entered the society, she also knows that in the current society, she can't find any good jobs with her Chinese at all, and watching her sister do dirty and tiring work every day, Jiang Yan's heart is like a knife.

She didn't want her sister to sacrifice herself for her, Jiang Xia felt very guilty.

Jiang Yan stretched out her hand to wipe the tears from her sister's face, "Fool, I'm not for you, I'm also for myself, when my sister has a future in the future, my sister will rely on you to support me, okay, listen to my sister, study hard, don't live up to my sister's expectations of you." ”

Jiang Xia nodded tearfully, "Sister, I listen to you, but let me help you wash your clothes together, otherwise I won't follow you." ”

After Jiang Xia finished speaking, she sat down again.

Jiang Yan stretched out his hand to poke her forehead, "You, there's really no way to take you." ”

"Then I want to ask, is this Jiang Wusan's home?" a crisp voice suddenly came.

The two sisters looked up and saw a beautiful little girl standing in the cold wind, 13.4 years old, tall and tall.

It looks like a flower, but it's really handsome.

The little girl wore a pink cotton coat and a yellow scarf around her neck, her skin was smooth and soft, and her eyes were as clear as water.

The whole person seems to glow, and the sisters have never seen a girl like this.

I looked at it for a long time.

"Is this Jiang Wusanjiang's old man's house?" Fang Xiaoyu asked again.

Jiang Yan came back to his senses, "Yes, Jiang Wusan is my grandfather, do you have anything to do with my grandfather?"

"You are Jiang Yan, right?" Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile, "I was sent by the Foundation for Poverty Alleviation, my name is Fang Xiaoyu, our director read the information you submitted, and sent me over to take a look on the spot." ”
