After the reform and opening up, Azhu's generation became the first generation of children who came out of the mountains, and Azhu also became one of the few children in the village who were admitted to university. Therefore, it is highly expected by the family and villagers.
Entering college, tuition fees and living expenses have become the biggest obstacles for these children who have come out of the mountains. Just like Azhu, their family has lived on a few acres of thin fields for generations, and they will not starve to death, but they have no surplus food, let alone extra income, and even the bus fare that Azhu needs to go to college is borrowed from the big families in the village.
Azhu is a sensible child, and she didn't tell her parents about the tuition fees written on the admission notice, because she knew that if she told them, there would be another layer of burden on their parents' shoulders, and they couldn't afford to pay it back in their lifetime. So she only brought the fare and basic living expenses, and came to Shanghai alone with only a few hundred yuan.
Ah Zhu had already planned to use his spare time and vacation time to work outside to support his tuition and living expenses. At the beginning, as Xiao Heng said, she worked as a temporary worker in restaurants and cafes and other places, but her income was meager. Later, after being introduced by the senior sister, I tried to do bar sales.
Bar sales make money by commissions, and the performance is much better, and the performance is poor. With the mentality of giving it a try, Azhu started working here.
Because Azhu belongs to the pure style, it is an outlier among many bar sales. Those nightclub regulars who are accustomed to seeing ordinary bar sales, when they meet Azhu, it is like a fresh breeze blowing in the stinking thatched house, and they experience a different feeling.
Therefore, Azhu's income has also risen, not only has his tuition and living expenses been solved, but he can also send some money back to his hometown every month to subsidize his family and provide for his younger brother to go to school.
When the people in the village saw that the life of Azhu's family was getting better and better, they all knew that Azhu was fighting for anger and making a lot of money in the city, and they were all envious. But who knows what kind of hard work Azhu is doing here, what kind of youth is burning, and overdrawing his body when he comes to the big city alone, in exchange for these insignificant things in Xiao Heng's eyes.
Thinking of this, Ah Zhu's eyes were a little red.
After listening to Ah Zhu's words, Xiao Heng also fell silent.
He knows that there are millions of poor people in the country now, and he really sympathizes with them, but he has never met them or paid attention to them, only after hearing and seeing some on the TV news, his heart will be touched, and when the matter is over, he will forget it completely, let alone think about helping them.
Now there is a child from the deep mountains in front of her, who originally lived a self-sufficient life, but in order to change her fate, she chose to come to the big city and live another life.
Xiao Heng didn't know if she was happy here, but he knew that she was having a hard time here. If it was his former self, he wouldn't think about it, and he wouldn't even think about it in the future. But now, he seems to feel that he should do something for these people, although he doesn't know where to start, but at least the girl named Azhu in front of him, what can he do for her, then start here.
The two were silent, each thinking about his own business.
After a long time, Xiao Heng spoke again: "How much money can you make here in a month?"
After talking so much to Xiao Heng, Ah Zhu has completely opened her heart, she has never mentioned anything about herself to anyone before, not even her best sister Ah Zi.
So now Azhu has nothing to hide from Xiao Heng: "There are more than 6,000 a month, because I come almost every day, which is better than others." ”
Xiao Heng roughly estimated that there were more than two hundred per day, but in his eyes, this amount of money was really inconspicuous.
"Well, you don't have to do this in the future. Xiao Heng said, his eyes looked at Ah Zhu seriously, "You go back to school hard, I will bear all your tuition fees after college, and give you five thousand per month, including your living expenses and your brother's expenses, these should be enough." ”
Ah Zhu listened carefully, and suddenly raised her head after listening, she didn't expect Xiao Heng to do this, the first reaction in her mind was that this guy was going to take care of me, if so, then she would rather drink with others here: "I don't want to be taken care of." ”
Xiao Heng was speechless, and blamed himself for not making it clear, so he quickly explained: "I didn't mean to support you, you misunderstood." I mean I sponsor you and your brother to complete your studies until you graduate from college. ”
After listening to Xiao Heng's explanation, and then looking at his serious appearance, Ah Zhu knew that he had misunderstood him, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, measured others with his small belly, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Brother Xiao, I don't mean anything else, but doing so inevitably makes me think of those, others have mentioned it to me before, so I just..."
"It's okay, I understand. Xiao Heng comforted Azhu.
"But I can't just take your money for nothing. "Ah Zhu feels that he can't take other people's money for no reason, this is the education he received since he was a child, and all rewards need to be paid.
Seeing that Azhu refused to accept his kindness, Xiao Heng's brain moved, and he immediately thought of a way: "I don't give you the money for nothing, just treat it as my investment in your future." After you graduate, you will come to work in my company, and I will deduct a part of your monthly salary to deduct this part of the money, what do you think? ”
"This..."Ah Zhu hesitated for a while, and suddenly couldn't think about it, thinking back to Xiao Heng before, how did that playboy become so reliable now, "Are you serious?"
"Of course, it's a puppy. Xiao Heng said with a smile.
"Okay, let's pull the hook. Azhu said and stretched out his right little thumb, with a smile on his face.
Xiao Heng also stretched out his little thumb, and the two of them: the hook is not allowed to change for a hundred years.
"Hahaha, thank you, Brother Xiao. "Azhu is happy, happy from the bottom of my heart.
After staying in Shanghai for a year, I have never been so happy as today, not because Xiao Heng helped her, but because she felt the warmth of humanity for the first time in the vast sea of people.
"However, there are conditions. Xiao Heng interrupted Ah Zhu and said mysteriously.
"What conditions? It's not going to be a reversal. Ah Zhu also pretended to be surprised and joked.
"In the future, you have to go to school hard, the grades are not high but you must not fail, you can't skip classes, you can't come out to do this kind of part-time job or similar, I have no opinion on work-study, and the most important point is that you must graduate from the university successfully, of course, I am also very welcome to take a postgraduate doctoral exam." ”
"Hmm. Ah Zhu readily agreed, and couldn't help but pick up Xiao Heng's head and kiss him on the forehead.
