Chapter 3: Gambling Spirit

Although the Deng family is an authentic rural family, three of the four children of the Deng family have come out of the countryside, and only Mei Ju's mother is still in the countryside to farm.

Not only Mei Ju, but Mei Zhu also thought so, so he didn't care about the family's financial situation at all, he had to repeat his studies, and he went to the city to take the exam and go to the city in a hurry.

Although Mei Ju's mother also told Mei Ju and Mei Zhu that the facts back then were not what they said, but after a long time, once or twice, twice or three times, Mei Ju's mother's psychology gradually became a little unbalanced.

Mei Ju's mother Deng Hongying is the eldest in the family, after graduating from junior high school, she was not admitted to high school, at that time she had already divided the fields into households, there was a lot of farm work at home, her younger brothers and sisters were still young, and there were many places to use money.

Deng Hongying has a younger sister below, and her sister graduated from high school and was admitted to a secondary school, and later went to Shenzhen, where she married someone and settled down, and rarely went home.

The third child is Deng Wenxiang, after graduating from the teacher college, he was originally assigned to a rural middle school, but later caught up with the good times, the rural middle school revoked the high school, and moved to the county seat, and he followed into the city.

The fourth child studied the best and was admitted to a bachelor's degree, but unfortunately he was laid off within two years of being assigned to a state-owned enterprise, and the husband and wife went to Beijing.

Therefore, there are four brothers and sisters in the Deng family, and now only one Deng Hongying is left to farm in the countryside, and the four brothers of the Mei family are all in the countryside, so there is no comparison, which is why Mei Ju only resents the Deng family.

However, resentment will not solve the problem, so what should she do?

The family must not be able to afford three college students, the tuition fee of the three books is not a small amount, plus the living expenses, accommodation expenses and other miscellaneous things, Meizhu is about 20,000 yuan a year, it is said that this is still very economical.

It is impossible for the eldest Mei Zhu to drop out of school halfway through her studies, Mei Lan's grades are so good, even if the family does not provide for her, her grandmother will let the two uncles open her mouth for her to study, Mei Xin is the only boy in the family, seeing that he is about to go to high school after graduating from junior high school, his parents will definitely be able to study with him.

Mei Ju pulled and pulled around, no matter how she counted, she was the one who was left behind, muttering in her mouth, complaining about her grandmother and uncle's partiality for a while, and complaining about her parents for a while, she had to give birth to this younger brother, and the family couldn't afford to raise it too much, and she was fined a lot of money.

"What maggots are you chewing alone?" Deng Jianwen glanced at Mei Ju.

Mei Ju was lying on the dining table, the chopsticks in her hand kept playing in the bowl, and she couldn't hear the sound when she saw her lips move.

It's not that he didn't hear what Mei Ju said, the problem is that the conditions of his family are also limited, both husband and wife are teachers, the salary in the county is not high, he just raised funds for a house a few years ago, and he doesn't have much money left, and the three nieces have been studying here for three years in high school, and he has not paid less money, especially Mei Lan, the Mei family has never given this child food money at all.

In addition, the parents are getting older day by day, and there is a grandmother in her eighties, although the three of them live in the countryside and can support themselves, but they are only to feed, and if there is a disease or something, they have to reach out to their son.

Also, other people's parents live in buildings in the countryside, but their parents not only tossed up their family money in order to provide for their three siblings to study, but also borrowed a lot of debts, and still live in that dilapidated house.

A few years ago, their brothers discussed, and finally scraped together a sum of money, wanting to help their parents rebuild the house, but the mother suddenly had a heart attack that year, and this trip tossed down, and went in tens of thousands, so the money did not dare to move again, and kept it for the three elderly people in the family to see a doctor and take medicine, and now there is not much left.

Deng Jianwen also thought about it, Mei Lan's tuition fee eldest sister would not be able to pay out, it could only be a matter for the two of them, but let them and their brothers study for Mei Ju again, it was really not enough.

Although Deng Jianwu is in Beijing, the conditions are not too good, the husband and wife provide the mortgage and support the mother-in-law and the father-in-law, the old man here is not in good health, the child wants to go to a better kindergarten and pay a single sponsorship fee, that money is not enough for the two of them.

Therefore, what Mei Ju said, he did not continue.

"Uncle, what did I say, I said that you are all partial, and you all like the second sister and don't like me." Mei Ju simply made her words clear.

"Ju Li, chewing maggots again? What eccentricity is not eccentric, sit well and eat, what do you see lying on the table like? Liu Qiaozhen glared at Mei Ju.

This child is really blind, although this family belongs to the uncle, but after all, there is an aunt and aunt, even she is not comfortable being an old man, this child is good, he doesn't treat himself as an outsider at all.

"Grandma, you still say that you are not partial, tell your old man that it is eight hundred times, don't call me Ju Li, it's hard to hear, how do you know that you call the second sister Lan Lan, when I get to me, it has to be Ju Li, not Ju Ju?"

"Can't stop your mouth when you eat? Grandma is called smooth, she can shout as much as she wants, how awkward is Juju screaming? Merlin spoke.

"Juju is not as smooth as Lan Lan, juojuo, hehe, third sister, I will call you juojuo in the future." Deng Pengfei smiled on the side.

"You guys eat, I'm not going to eat, I'll go to the dormitory to pick up things now, and I'll go home early tomorrow morning." Mei Ju pushed the dishes and chopsticks.

She's going back to her mother to discuss things, and no one here will look at her.

"Ju, Ju, you haven't eaten two bites yet?" Yang Yu saw that Deng Jianwen's face was not very good-looking, so he got up and grabbed Mei Ju, and was about to open his mouth to call "Ju Li" and changed it to "Ju Ju".

"Don't eat it, I'll come back to sleep later." Mei Ju glanced at Mei Lan and saw that Mei Lan didn't leave her, so she turned around and left.

"Lan Lan, when are you going home?" Grandma asked.

"The day after tomorrow, a few of our classmates discussed going to Jinggangshan to play, I went with them, and I went there to do a summer job."

After Mei Lan finished speaking, she paused, thought for a while, and said to Deng Jianwen: "Uncle, I want something from you, I remember that you have an old mobile phone that you don't use, can you give it to me?" I take it to work, and if there is anything on the school side, it is easy to find me. ”

Mei Lan wants to learn the lessons of the previous life, and she has to pick up this notice in person.

"What's wrong with this, my uncle will help you apply for a number tomorrow." Deng Jianwen knew that Mei Lan didn't have any money to pay the phone bill, so he wanted to help her charge a little.

After going to high school, she went to a small restaurant on Jinggang Mountain every summer to help with small work, and she could earn almost two or three thousand yuan in a summer, enough for his own tuition for a year, and he gave him the living expenses.

Thinking of this, Deng Jianwen asked again: "Is your father still working in that restaurant?" ”

Mei Lan first went to that hotel was brought by her father, and Mei Baoping originally wanted to take Mei Zhu to work that summer, because Mei Zhu was admitted to a junior college, and it costs money to study, but who knew that Mei Zhu didn't go, crying and shouting that she wanted to repeat her studies, and she had to take the exam for another year, so Mei Lan took the initiative to follow her father.

That year, she was only fifteen years old.

It's been three summers now.

"No, he went to a restaurant in the city, and he was given more over there, and he could do it for a long time."

Mei Baoping is a chef, and his cooking skills are okay, but there is still a certain gap between him and the chefs of those big hotels in big cities, and he can only be a gangster in a small place and a small restaurant, and now he can get 3,000 yuan a month for eating and living, otherwise, it is impossible for the four children of the Mei family to study.

"If you do it in the city, what about cutting the grain this year?" Liu Qiaozhen asked.

"I should be back for a few days, I'll go back and help for a few more days and hire a harvester."

Liu Qiaozhen listened to it on the side, opened her mouth, and closed it again.

She can't just patronize the granddaughter of Mei Lan and forget about her daughter, the palms of her hands and the backs of her hands are full of meat, she wants to help, but her physical condition does not allow it, she can take care of herself now not to get sick is not to cause chaos to the family.

Mei Lan helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and then went to the dormitory, she also had something to pack, when she went, Mei Ju had already taken her things away, and the two must have gone wrong.

Back at her uncle's house again, Mei Ju really sat on the sofa eating watermelon while watching TV, and when she saw Mei Lan entering the door, she didn't even pay attention to it.

Mei Lan took her things into the room and put them away, anyway, she had taken a shower in the dormitory, so she didn't bother to go out again, and threw herself on the bed early.

She was so tired.

This rebirth has not been idle in the brain.
