Soon, a semester passed, and summer came as promised.

In the past, I would help my mother sell some vegetables, but last year I hid in the house for two months because of sadness, and this year I begged my eldest sister to go to work on the construction site with her, so that I could meet with my eldest sister often and earn some living expenses, although it was still my eldest sister who paid money.

The eldest sister disagreed at first, but finally agreed to let me help in the stove room under my nagging and persuasion, "After all, there is no work that you can do as a little girl, and it is not safe to be outside." The eldest sister touched my long hair and said.

Little girl? I immediately went to the barber shop to cut a neat short haircut, Mu Guiying is still in charge, why can't I show my head yet? But the kitchen is also OK, I can make some delicious supplements for the eldest sister, for so many years, although I have not provided supplies to the family financially, but I am still the best at cooking, so I feel better when I think about it.

Every day, I was busy in the kitchen, and for the first time, I felt that it was not easy to make a big pot of rice. Of course, it is still the experienced Aunt Ling who is in charge, and I will give the eldest sister additional meals every day to replenish her body, and the eldest sister has indeed lost a lot of weight recently.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, dinner was ready, the only small pot on the fire was the chicken soup I boiled for my eldest sister, although there was only one chicken leg, but with wolfberry, angelica and other medicinal materials, the taste was still good.

"Is there any water?" said a man in loose clothes, a hard hat and a mask in his hand.

"Yes, yes, there is mung bean tea in the pot, clear the heat and remove the fire, come, drink a bowl quickly." Aunt Ling handed him the bowl, he glanced at me, took the bowl and turned around to go out to drink.

It's really weird, I have to go out for a drink, and the look in his eyes makes me feel strange. However, seeing that he was thin and thin, it seemed that he had also worked and suffered a lot, so I filled a small bowl of chicken soup: "Aunt Ling, let him drink this bowl of chicken soup too." ”

"Yo, how can you give up today?"

"It's all working people, relatives and friends, it's not easy for him, you can taste it in a while, see how I cook it?"

"Okay, your Aunt Ling, I can't stand the fragrance for a long time after smelling it all afternoon, so I'll bring me a bowl later. With that, she happily brought out the chicken soup.

In the evening, I talked to my eldest sister about this matter, and I couldn't help but sigh: "It's really not easy to make a living now, life will tire people like this, eldest sister, do you have to do this business?"

The eldest sister shook the fan, stared at the ceiling and said: "Well, I think there are prospects in this industry, although women are a little difficult to do, but which industry is not hard? Even if it is mental work, you have to work overtime and stay up late. ”

He turned over and said to me, "Eh, the skinny man you are talking about should be the son of Mr. Cheng, the weather has been dry these days, and he has no water glass, and my voice is dumb when I hear him today." ”

"Mr. Cheng, aren't you the boss?"

"He is engaged in real estate, speaking of which, it can be regarded as my Bole, this land is invested by him, and I am responsible for part of the construction matters, and I can earn a lot of money from this list." This Cheng Zong is also a capable master, and he has laid a huge industrial ...... in just five years."

The dim light hit the eldest sister's face, and in a trance I saw a few subtle wrinkles in the corners of her eyes, and they looked back at me quietly, telling me about the hardships and sadness of the eldest sister over the years.

Life will never give everyone equal opportunities for happiness, nor will it give every family a beautiful and harmonious consummation, among all living beings, there are not many who can calmly accept suffering, and even fewer who can resolutely resist, in the eldest sister, I see a kind of tenacious strength, this power comes from responsibility, from love, from not admitting defeat to oneself.

But sometimes I think that if that didn't happen, maybe my eldest sister wouldn't have to work so hard.
