In an old community in Shanghai City, Jiang Ruoxin pushed open the door.

After getting off work at twelve o'clock, plus the time spent on the road, Jiang Ruoxin arrived home very late, so she didn't want to alarm the neighbors and family next door, so she lightly took off her shoes at the entrance, walked into the living room and bedroom room, carefully put the guitar on the edge of the sofa, and poured a glass of water. The room was dark, there was a small coffee table in front of the sofa, and next door was a small bed, which was not very clear.

"You're back. The voice of a frail middle-aged woman came out of the dimly lit bed.

"Mom, why haven't you slept yet?" Jiang Ruoxin heard her mother's voice and said with a little reproach, she put down the cup in her hand, got up and sat on the edge of the bed.

"I can't sleep if you don't come back. The mother turned over and turned to face Jiang Ruoxin from the dim corner inside, her tired face looking very pale in the moonlight that came through the window.

"You don't have to worry about me, I'm so old. Jiang Ruoxin turned her head to look at her mother, and when she saw that pale face, her tone was much softer, "It's not good for your health to always sleep so late." ”

"It's okay, I'm used to it, I'm relieved to see you come back. The mother smiled with relief and reached out to take her daughter's hand, "Are you hungry? I'll cook you a bowl of noodles." ”

Mother said that she was going to get up from the bed, and she propped her hands on the mat and slowly lifted her body, looking very struggling.

"Mom, I'm not hungry, don't get up, I've eaten outside. Jiang Ruoxin hurriedly helped her mother to lie down, holding her mother's rough hand, and suddenly felt a sour feeling in her heart.

"Oh. The mother lay back in peace, "Then you should take a shower and go to bed early." ”

"Hmm. Jiang Ruoxin responded, glanced back at her haggard but smiling mother, got up and walked to the bathroom.

Since Jiang Ruoxin was five years old, her father left their mother and daughter, and from the moment his father signed the divorce agreement, she began to live without a father.

Jiang Ruoxin's mother is called Jiang Hong, married Jiang Ruoxin's father at the age of twenty-five, and gave birth to her at the age of twenty-six, named Zhang Ruoxin. Later, his parents divorced, and Zhang Ruoxin lived with his mother, so he changed his surname from Zhang to Jiang.

Jiang Hong is a textile factory worker, although the income is not high, but he lives frugally, and life is not difficult with Jiang Ruoxin alone, and fortunately when they divorced, the old house was awarded to Jiang Hong, which also reduced their pressure a lot.

When Jiang Ruoxin was 17 years old, Jiang Hong was diagnosed with lung disease because she was exposed to too much dust for a long time while working in a textile factory and did not take good precautions.

The originally clear sky collapsed all at once. Jiang Hong's job is naturally gone, and it is not expected that it has not been treated as a work-related injury. Medical expenses have become the biggest expense for the two-person family, and in just a few months, the small savings and the money from the sale of the house have been spent. The good news is that Jiang Hong's condition is under control and her life is not in danger, but the bad news is that she has since fallen ill, her physique has become very poor, and she has to take medicine every day.

Later, the mother and daughter moved to this rental house of only about 20 square meters, relying on the remaining money from the treatment to pay the rent and Jiang Ruoxin's tuition, Jiang Hong's body did not allow her to continue to work, and the only source of income for the family was cut off.

The children of poor families have long been in charge, and Jiang Ruoxin has become the pillar of the family since then. During the day, in addition to going to school, she spent all the rest of her time working, working two jobs during the day and at night, and when it came to the holidays, she worked in three different places, supporting the family with only mother and daughter, barely able to afford not a small expense.

In the past few years, Jiang Ruoxin has not bought more than five sets of new clothes, and all of them are the most affordable clothes bought online. For a girl, that's a very big sacrifice.

Jiang Ruoxin is a very sensible girl, and her grades in school are the best in her grade, because she knows that this can help her win a considerable scholarship. And she also participates in various competitions and activities, as long as there are prizes or bonuses, she will try, and almost all of them can win. So during school and part-time jobs, her time was full, and music became her only hobby.

Jiang Ruoxin loves to sing, and is very talented, since she was in elementary school, she has always been the best singer in the class and even in the grade, as long as she needs to sing in any activity, she will often think of her and let her be the lead singer. Jiang Ruoxin enjoys it, and often practices singing and connecting with the guitar alone.

Since her mother fell ill, she took a break from singing for a while to take care of her mother. Later, when the burden of life weighed on her, she picked up the guitar again, because singing became an important part of her source of income.

After a busy day, Jiang Ruoxin was a little tired, and before seven o'clock in the morning, she got up and went out, and her first job was as a part-time waitress in a café. At five o'clock in the afternoon, after a busy dinner, she rushed to another place and worked as a clerk in a bubble tea shop. Finally, after getting off work from the bubble tea shop at half past eight, I rushed to the long-term addiction and sang until twelve o'clock in the evening.

The hurried days are busier than most office workers, although it is hard, but she is happy, as long as her mother can get better, Jiang Ruoxin feels that everything she has done is worth it.

After hurriedly taking a shower and drying her hair, Jiang Ruoxin lay down next to her mother. In order to save time, she also cut her waist-length hair short.

Lying on the bed, hearing the sound of even breathing from her mother's side, Jiang Ruoxin knew that her mother was asleep. Turning off the lights and tucking up the blanket, she was ready to end the day and fall asleep.

In a daze, Jiang Ruoxin remembered the person he met after getting off work from the bar today.

"Xiao Heng?" vaguely remembering the person's name, Jiang Ruoxin picked up the mobile phone from the bedside and opened the address book.

"It doesn't look like a liar, but he's too young to look younger than me. Jiang Ruoxin was lying on her side, with her back to Jiang Hong, afraid that it would affect her. She looked at the address book and remembered what she looked like when she saw Xiao Heng at that time.

Generally, girls will be very happy when they are favored by talent scouts, because they have the opportunity to be famous, but Jiang Ruoxin is different, she is very cautious, because now there are not a few cases reported by the media about being cheated by so-called talent scouts to cheat money and sex.

"Hengyi Culture Media. Jiang Ruoxin remembered the name of the company Xiao Heng told her again, and immediately searched on the Internet, but no matter how she combined these two pronunciation words, she couldn't find any information from the Internet, "I don't know what Hengyi he said is, hey, forget it." ”

Jiang Ruoxin put down his phone, not planning to think about it.

"If I sign a contract, will I be able to make more money?" But she couldn't help but think about it, thinking of those stars on the Internet, all of whom seemed to make money easily, and they could also become famous and let everyone know themselves.

"Why don't you call tomorrow and ask, as long as you keep an eye on yourself, you shouldn't be deceived if you are careful. Jiang Ruoxin thought about it and planned to give it a try, but she planned to hide this matter from her mother first.

Jiang Ruoxin turned his head to look at his sleeping mother, and then put the phone back on the bedside, having already made a decision in his heart.
