On the third day when Yue Jiefang and Yue Jianjun went to the factory for training, Yue Lin bought a ticket back to Nanjing. Now it's hard to buy tickets, and there are too many people coming and going. And Yue Lin herself is worried that the government will let her brother go, the government is not those buildings, nor those documents. If the people in the government really hold a grudge against Yue Jiefang, they will have no way to keep it.

Seeing that the situation did not go in the direction of getting worse, Yue Lin finally relieved herself. She boarded a passenger ferry to Nanjing, the cheapest way to get from Wuhan to Nanjing. Before leaving, she handed over 500 yuan to her father, "Dad, you take this money." ”

"Those bunnies just don't work! After they have money, they follow the fox friends and dogs to spend it, and it would be good if they didn't ask me for money. The old man took the money and couldn't help but scold his sons again.

"Dad, don't scold. It's not easy for my brothers. Yue Lin persuaded. It's not easy to make money these days, there is too much money to spend, but the income can't keep up with the demand, which is extremely stretched.

When he left, he couldn't help but tell the Song family, Yue Lin still went to the door to say goodbye. The Song family must send Yue Lin to the dock with the second and fourth children, although Yue Lin didn't bring anything with them when she returned, but the second and fourth children had already enthusiastically gotten up and went out. Yue Lin could only take out five yuan from the remaining 50 yuan and buy a pack of cigarettes for each of the two brothers.

When the second child went to see the passenger ship sorting table, the fourth child hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, I went to ask in the past few days." We have a recruitment office in Wuhan, and the office said that it is a state-owned farm, and the farm also has a machinery factory. They valued me as experienced as me, so they asked me to fill in and sign up at that time. Sister-in-law, do you think I can go? ”

Looking at the fourth child's excited and uneasy expression, Yue Lin felt that she could understand. The fourth child spent a lot of effort to find a job, and it was always him who begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother, and now that he is so valued, it is inevitable that he will be frivolous. Even if Yue Lin wanted the fourth child to go to North America to make money, this was not the time to make the fourth child more light. Yue Lin said, "Fourth, I think you can go." But after you go, first ask people what you want to do and whether it matches your current major. If the major is not right, there will be no training over there. You don't underestimate you, but you want to. If people expect you to lead people to do it after you go, what will they do to you if you can't bear it? ”

The fourth didn't expect Yue Lin to say this, he is not a person who knows what to do, what kind of work is waiting for him to do thousands of miles away? Won't it be difficult? The fourth child is not the kind of person who is full of self-confidence, and when he thinks of possible difficulties, he is a little numb.

"If you lower your stature first, you will be taught by others. Even if you can do it all, it's just a matter of learning more. What if you blow yourself so big after you go up, there is so much shortage of people over there, and if people give you a job according to what you say, what if you can't do it? Not to mention how capable you are at the moment, I think you will be able to do well when you go. Now is when you can't let someone give you a job you can't do. Seeing that the fourth child was also a lot more honest, Yue Lin told the fourth child what he should say. Of course, this exhortation does not mention a single thing. Yue Lin did not mention whether the fourth child could go to North America, but based on the fact that the fourth child had already decided to go to North America.

The fourth elder nodded again and again, "Sister-in-law, you're right." You're right. By the way, do you still have water in your marching pot? I'll give you some water. ”

Yue Lin brought a marching kettle, she was worried that the water would be cold halfway, so she only filled a small half pot. Seeing that the fourth child was so enthusiastic, Yue Lin did not stop the fourth child from helping her to fetch water.

At this time, the second child is back. He first told Yue Lin the departure time, and seeing that the fourth child was not there, the second child finally mustered up the courage and said, "Yue Lin, I want to borrow some money from you." ”

"......" Yue Lin was stunned, "I really don't have any money now." ”

"Not now, I want to borrow some money from the third child after a while. The eldest brother got married, and the third gave 5,000 yuan. Thaksin said that there is a lot of money in you. I'm talking about someone now, and I'm thinking about talking to people about getting married in a few months. When the time comes, if there is also a bride price, I think ......, I think if you don't agree, the third child will not be able to come up with so much money......" The second child was not fast, but he could say it clearly.

However, Yue Lin didn't feel that the second child was "reasonable" because of this, and the anger burned in her chest like a flame. This TM not only had to borrow money, but also took into account how to save the time for Yue Lin. How can a man do that?!

There is no need to deliberately cold her face, Yue Lin can no longer control the anger on her face, and she said in an unkind tone: "Second brother, how much money did you pay when your brother got married?" If you don't help your brother with your brother, forget it, will this idea hit your brother? ”

It seems that the second child has been a little mentally prepared, and he said: "Yue Lin, I will marry like this once in my life. Can't you just help me once? ”

"Hehe", Yue Lin couldn't help but sneer, "Second brother, we've known each other for so long." Do you think I don't know? You are not a woman now, you have to come to me to borrow money. It's that you think that if you can tell the woman how much dowry you can take, and then cheat on a wife! I'll tell you, you're still dying early. Do you think girls are that stupid? What do you say, people believe? Can't buy a wife for a few thousand dollars? I'll tell you, there is no such person. Even if there is, the wife you find is definitely not worth the price. Yue Lin said angrily, and then regardless of the embarrassment, Yue Lin picked up her backpack and walked towards the ticket gate. For this second child of the Song family, Yue Lin never wanted to see it again.

At this time, the fourth child happened to come over with a pot full of hot water, and when he saw that Yue Lin had already started to board the boat, he hurriedly rushed up, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law." Water, you're bringing water. ”

Yue Lin took the kettle with an angry face, and then left in a huff. The fourth child looked at Yue Lin's expression and actions in confusion, completely confused.

After getting on the boat, Yue Lin's anger was still there. She snorted to her cabin, where there was a bed in the third class. Even though there is only one very small window, it is not completely airtight. After all, after staying in Nanjing for so long, Yue Lin really couldn't accept to squeeze the fourth class. After all, with her and her husband's salary, if you want to experience the style of a boat down the river, it is not completely unaffordable for two people to live in second class.

The small cabin has three bunks on the left and right, and a small table in a very small aisle against the wall of the ship. The passengers were huddled inside, and the light from the tiny window at the top of the cabin was not enough to make it bright, only that it would not be pitch black. This environment and the anger brought by the second child's bastard words made Yue Lin even more annoyed.

got on her own top bunk, the space was narrow, and the bedding was damp and cold, Yue Lin was full of unhappiness. It wasn't until the whistle sounded and the passenger ship began to move that Yue Lin got up and walked down to the deck. She wanted to blow the wind on the deck now, but it was only because she thought that if she went on the deck, she could see the face of the second child, so Yue Lin had to stay in this uncomfortable cabin.

The weather was good, and the wind and chill on the river surface were enough, which also gave Yue Lin a sense of excitement. The anger in Yue Lin's heart was gradually dispelled a lot by this sense of stimulation. Of course, there are not many people who have Yue Lin's needs. The deck was very sparsely populated. After taking a few deep breaths of cold air, Yue Lin's nose was sour, and she actually shed tears. This was originally just a physiological reaction, but as soon as the tears came out, Yue Lin's mood also moved. These days, she seems to be determined, and she has indeed solved many problems that the working families seem to be unable to solve at all. The constant accumulation of panic and anxiety in my heart, the total amount of joy and sorrow that continues to accumulate is quite a lot.

It's just that Yue Lin, as the eldest sister, if she cries and cries first, she doesn't need to go through it at home. I thought that the matter was solved, and I could finally breathe a sigh of relief. suddenly found that Song Laoer's bastard had already been worried about Yue Lin's family's money. Could it be that I am Tang monk meat, and everyone wants to come and take a bite?

Helpless, disappointed, aggrieved. Coupled with the fact that there was no one on the deck, Yue Lin stood at the bow of the boat, grabbed the railing with one hand, and cried in the face of the rushing river breeze. Hot tears slid down his cheeks and became cold after a few moments. But new tears still poured out unconsciously, except for crying, Yue Lin didn't know what else she could do.

I don't know how long I cried, but a somewhat old voice next to me said, "Little girl, don't cry anymore." If you cry like this again, I want to cry. ”

In fact, after crying so much for a while, Yue Lin's emotions have been released. Hearing someone speak, Yue Lin turned around. I saw an old cadre-looking person of medium stature with a bruise on the door of his head standing beside Yue Lin. It was a bruise from the door of the head to the cheekbones, as if the old cadre had accidentally bumped into something, and it looked like it had been smashed out by something heavy and straight.

Seeing that Yue Lin noticed the marks on his head, the old cadre smiled bitterly. In order to hide his embarrassment, he took out a handkerchief and handed it to Yue Lin. Yue Lin wanted to refuse, she had such a handful of snot and tears, she must have used this handkerchief dirty. The old cadre probably saw Yue Lin's thoughts, and he smiled bitterly: "Use it casually, the handkerchief will be given to you." ”

Yue Lin didn't dare to accept such kindness easily, not because of how valuable this handkerchief was. It's really incomprehensible that the old cadres are doing this.

Seeing Yue Lin, half of them were tearful, and half of them were alert. The old cadre chief sighed, "Alas! I've had some very upset things with me. If I were a woman, I would also stand beside you and cry together. Since I can't cry, comfort others, and I feel better. If you don't think it's appropriate, forget it. I don't have any other ideas. ”

This is quite convincing for women, and it can be seen from the expression of the old cadre that he is indeed in a bad mood. The two looked at each other for a moment, and they also felt stupid to stand like this. The old cadre said: "My wife and I took the boat together and lived in the first class. The bathroom we had over there was quite big and hot water. You go to our side and wash your face first, it's not good to have a cold on such a cold day. ”

This kindness is not excessive, Yue Lin heard that the old cadre had hot water to wash his face, and he felt good. After all, he was a person who had been to His Majesty Wei Ze's house, and in terms of courage in the face of cadres, Yue Lin could not be regarded as small.

Sure enough, when he saw the old cadre bring back a little girl with tears on his face, the boss of the old cadre was also surprised. Whether it was "interrogation" or vigilance, the old lady also said a few basic words to Yue Lin. As soon as she heard that Yue Lin's family was from a machinery factory, the old lady's face looked very different.

Yue Lin just wanted to leave things behind, she didn't pay attention to these, she just washed her face with hot water.
