Chapter 3 Set up a stall

"Why don't you rent a small shop outside our school and open a stationery store or something?"

As soon as she heard that she wanted to let herself do business, Chen's mother was the first to coax.

"That's not going to work, I can't do that. Why don't I clean up?"

Chen Yixin sighed, looking at her mother's horizontal temperament and worried. It's not that she looks down on housekeeping work, but there are easier and more lucrative jobs to do, so why do she have to work as a nanny to help people do hygiene?

Thinking about this, Chen Yixin changed the topic.

"Where's my brother, why don't you see anyone?"

"Isn't this hurt, your dad will send him to your grandmother's house for two days and pick him up on the weekend. Chen's mother cleaned up the house nonchalantly, "Okay, can you sleep for a while?" I really don't want to sleep, or I can read a book for a while." I made an appointment with your cousin to go to the small commodity market in the north of the city to buy something. ”

At five o'clock in the afternoon, her cousin and tablemate Wei Zhong came to look for her. Looking at the tall, thin and silent teenager in front of him, Chen Yixin was in a trance. Her last impression of Wei Zhong was still the picture of him breaking down and crying because of his unemployment.

Wei Zhong is also one of the few friends who still keep in touch with Chen Yixin, but he only talks on the phone a few times a year, and then occasionally chats on video or something. After graduating from university, he followed in his father's footsteps and became a designer, drawing molds in the factory. The private factory used the designer as an animal, and the long life of 8106 made Wei Zhong, who is in his thirties, have begun to have a receding hairline and thinning hair.

Wei Zhong, who is now standing in front of Chen Yixin, is still very young, with thick black hair, several fiery pimples on his face, and his eyebrows and eyes are worried about her.

"Lao Ma asked me to bring you these exercise books, and this is this week's notes, you can take a look at it at home and brush up on some questions, and there will be a half-term exam next week. I listened to Lao Ma, when the results of the half-term exam came out, the class would be adjusted according to the ranking. You watch out for a bit. ”

Wei Zhong's grades are considered to be in the middle and above, he has good grades in mathematics, physics and chemistry, and poor in liberal arts. Their current three shifts are sub-heavy shifts, which are five to ten points worse than the average score of the first shift in the key class. But it is much stronger than the last four classes, and if you don't do well in the test and are brushed to the back classes, it will be difficult to get into the first three classes in the future.

Chen Yixin's liberal arts are good, especially Chinese composition, but science is very bad, mathematics can be read, and chemistry is a complete mess. After missing school for several days, Wei Zhong was very worried about her.

"I see, thank you. Chen Yixin glanced at the neatly copied notes, which didn't look like Wei Zhong's handwriting, she raised her eyebrows, didn't say anything else, and sent Wei Zhong away after asking about the situation of the school in the past two days.

Idle at home is also idle, although the left hand can not move at will, but the right hand is not wasted, Chen Yixin took the homework book and notes to the small table by the window and sat down, slowly looking through the understanding.

Her grades were not good when she was studying, and she regretted it after junior college, and after graduation, she took the undergraduate examination, but the effort and energy spent were completely different. That's why many people say that they don't cherish it when they study, and it is only when they work that they realize what they wasted in the first place.

It is impossible for her to be as idle as in her previous life, at least, to keep her current shift first, and then to squeeze into one class, and if she enters one class, she can almost guarantee that she will be admitted to the undergraduate. The employment advantages of college students and undergraduates are completely incomparable, and the salary and working environment are very different.

The knowledge in the first year of high school is not difficult, but the difficult thing is to memorize too much, if you don't have a clear idea, it is likely to be a mess of one or the other.

Chen Yixin first drew a table, arranged the study time every day, and marked the content of the key subjects to be mastered.

Chen's father came home from work at six o'clock, but he didn't see his wife, and the ghost fire in his heart began to bubble up again. But after entering the house, I saw my daughter obediently studying at the desk, and the sunset shone on my daughter's thin face through the window screen, not only did not see a little ruddy, but also faintly revealed a trace of paleness. He struggled even more in his heart, the words of the eldest sister were loud in his head, and the word divorce had jumped out more than once.

"Dad, are you off work?" Chen Yixin finished this afternoon's study according to the planned schedule, and turned his head to see his father standing at the door with an uncertain expression, and his mother was still nowhere to be seen.

She secretly said bad in her heart, but a smile appeared on her face.

"Mom and my cousin went shopping, Dad, are you hungry, let me cook some noodles for you?"

"What are you going to buy?" Father Chen's voice was hoarse and ugly, and his brows were tightly wrinkled, "The family can't afford to buy a house, what else is she going to buy?"

Chen Yixin was stunned for a moment, put away her smile, and sat down close to her father.

"Dad, do you have something on your mind today?" Although Father Chen's temper is not very good, he has never scolded his wife, but she just heard a trace of inappropriateness from this sentence, and it seems that his patience is about to burst.

Is divorce indispensable?

Just when Chen Yixin was anxious, her little uncle ran over with a happy face.

"Brother-in-law, Xinxin, I inquired. He unceremoniously picked up the ceramic cup on the table, drank a cup of tea, and wiped his mouth, "Brother-in-law, the factory can take it!"

"What's going on? Do you have any money? Seeing that the house is going to be an adult, can you do something serious?" Father Chen suddenly broke out and threw his work gloves on the ground.

Liu Bin and Chen Yixin stood silently against the wall, one was embarrassed and the other worried.

"Today, the workshop director has given me an ultimatum, and if I don't pay the money at the end of the month, the house will be distributed to someone else. Father Chen gasped, his eyes staring at the ground, "Binzi, brother-in-law knows that you are difficult, but you also have to consider our family." This tube building is only 30 square meters, and you can see it, and I, your sister and Xin Xin Binbin can only live together. Your niece is too old to even have a room of her own, does that sound like that?"

Liu Bin nodded, his voice dry: "I understand, don't worry, brother-in-law, I haven't moved the money, and I'll give it back to you later." But I still want to tell you that the factory can really take it. Everyone says your craftsmanship is good, you ...... Think about it. I'll go back and get the money first. ”

He turned and walked away, stumbling a little. Chen Yixin moved, wanting to say something, but he endured it again when he saw his father's tense neck.

Money, money, money, what can be done to get through this difficulty?

Father Chen covered his face to calm down, got up and rubbed his daughter's head: "Dad is going to boil water and boil noodles, you can read a book for a while." ”

As soon as the pot stack was put on the gas stove, Chen's mother came back with a large bag of things. Father Chen looked at the big bag his wife was carrying, and he almost didn't suffocate to death in one breath.

Seeing this, Chen Yixin rushed to greet him: "Mom, what are you going to buy with your cousin, so much?"

As he spoke, he gave his mother a look and asked her not to be angry with her father anymore.

"Didn't you ask me to open a shop in front of your school before, I told your cousin in the afternoon, she told me not to rush to open a shop first, her cousin's cousin has a first-floor house over there, let me set up a stall in front of their house, try to sell some stationery stickers or something. I thought that even if I couldn't sell it, you and your brother could use it, so I agreed. No, these things cost a little three hundred. ”

When she looked up after speaking, she saw her husband standing in front of the stove with red eyebrows and green eyes, and her daughter bowed her head and did not speak.
