"No, it's not a big deal, your companion is waiting for you, you can go quickly." Mom hurriedly said with a smile.

Several girls around Du Ruoruo were looking us up and down, their eyes falling on the old cotton shoes we were wearing, their eyes had a kind of contempt, and they muttered in a low voice.

"From the village? Real earth! ”

Mom took my hand and tightened it, and I knew she had low self-esteem.

My mother is also a love of wearing, when my father was alive, although life was not very good, but after the salary, he often went to the city to pull a piece of fabric for her, and made beautiful clothes for herself, but after he died, there were no new clothes.

But I looked at these people calmly, what if they didn't dress well? I didn't break the law.

Du Ruoruo smiled: "Then I'll go first, you just go to the window over there to register!" ”

I said lightly, "Thank you, we know words." ”

"Oh, that's good." After Du Ruoruo finished speaking, she walked briskly, she pulled a few girls forward, muttered a few words, and after a while, I heard their laughter, and the girls looked back at my shoes.

Mom bit her lip and said, "Mom is sorry for you, you are also a big girl, but you haven't worn any decent clothes." ”

I smiled and said, "Mom, it's okay, we'll buy clothes when we make money in the future, I'm still young, I'll definitely dress up beautifully in the future." ”

"Okay." Mom reluctantly smiled at me.

When I was queuing up to register, my mother told me that Du Ruoruo was from the village of her grandmother's house.

I frowned: "She's so arrogant, I thought she was from the city!" ”

"She is the only child in her family, so she has been allowed to study and go to secondary school, by the way, your grandma also wanted to tell your uncle before and let Du Ruoruo marry him, but she didn't agree, probably because she disliked the conditions of your grandmother's family, other girls, it is not easy to find a job in the city, of course I want to find a good one."

I nodded silently, and it was good not to marry my uncle. In his previous life, after graduating from college and getting a job, he and we were strangers.

He was very good at studying in the unit, and later in order to become an official, he married a woman with good conditions. My uncle was particularly disgusted with the countryside, and after graduation, he completely cut off contact with us, and he didn't even want to care about my grandfather and grandmother's illness.

Otherwise, he was so capable in his previous life, and he was willing to come out and say a word, and my mother and I would not have lived so miserably.

We registered ourselves and went to see an old Chinese medicine doctor, who asked me a few questions, and then took the pulse for a long time before he smiled and said, "It's nothing!" There is no need to prescribe medicine, the little girl is stronger by nature, go back and have a good rest, just pay attention to keeping warm. Don't be tired lately, it's not good to go to the lungs. ”

My mother nodded happily and came out of the hospital together, and my mother's face was obviously much lighter.

"Nizi, let's go home for dinner, it's noon." She was reluctant to eat out and found it expensive.

I smiled and said, "Mom! I haven't done anything yet, so how can I go back? ”

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to buy some ingredients, just to make something to eat and sell it. I don't have much money on my hands. Just thinking about selling some food at the entrance of the hospital, wouldn't it be good for us to make some money? ”

Mom looked at me in surprise: "You're going to set up a stall!" But can the government agree to this? ”

I laughed and said, "When is it, what do you disagree with?" Didn't you see everyone's façade up? Don't worry, Mom, it's not illegal to do business now. ”

Mom sighed, people of their age think that it is only for serious people to do it, in the past it was called speculation, but now although it is not illegal, it is easy to be discriminated against.

I don't care about that, I just have to make some money anyway.

"What do you want to do?"

I said, "I think our pickles are good and have a lot of variety." It's good to take it out and sell it in the city. ”

Although every household pickles a lot of pickles in autumn, our pickles are very complete, radish, pepper, purse, cherry blossoms, carrots, and a lot of pickled sauerkraut, the taste is very good, we also followed the people in the nearby North Korea Tun to learn how to make spicy cabbage and kimchi.

The uncle's family was troublesome and never did it, so he ordered us to make more and eat it together, so that we could eat until next spring.

I said to my mother: "Let's sell the extra pickles directly, make some jade flour cakes and tea eggs at the entrance of the hospital, and then do something else when we have some capital." Anyway, it's a big deal, we can't sell it, let's keep it for ourselves, but we won't give it to the uncle's family! ”

Mom thought about it, shook her head and said, "Nizi, your idea is very good, but think about it, now we don't have any money, and if we want to do business in the city, we can only rent a house, otherwise you can do it on the road for hours a day?" The food sellers are all in a hurry to get out of the village? There is no carriage at home, and it is estimated that the money earned is not enough to pay for the round-trip trip. ”

I thought about it, and it was true, my mother and I were in a carriage, and it cost nearly a dollar to go back and forth, and we were on the road for hours, and it seemed that this matter was not as easy and simple as I thought.

When I did business with Liao Qiang, it was also because his mother took out all the foundations of the family, and Zheng Sisi's father also gave him some money, so he did it.

It's hard for a poor person like me and my mom to start a small stall.

The flame of hope that I had just kindled was quickly extinguished by the reality of the dilemma.

Mom persuaded: "Don't worry, in fact, most of the people who go out in our village are part-time workers, and only after they have the capital can they start their own small business." Be a babysitter, waitress or something. Don't worry. It's also good to save some money first. ”

"I know, Mom, we're all here anyway, let's find a place where we can work."

I know how to cook, and I'm familiar with odd jobs in restaurants, so I want to start with this aspect of food.

When my mother saw that I had made up my mind, she didn't object and accompanied me to see it. With the memory of my previous life, I walked around a few streets, but unfortunately, the snack street behind has not yet developed, and there are only a few small shops here and there, and there is no need for manpower at all. The whole house is made by their own people.

Another person laughed when he heard that I wanted to work: "We are still thinking about whether we can get rid of one person, I, my daughter-in-law and my two sons are working together, and I don't like a lot of people." Why do you have the money to hire you! ”

I thought about it and had to forget it, it is estimated that other snack bars are all about the same, and it is a problem to make ends meet, and there is no shortage of people at all.

There is a factory that is recruiting workers with a notice on the outside, but unfortunately it says that at least a junior high school degree is required.

As soon as I turned around, I saw that my mother's face was ugly, so I smiled.

"Mom, don't be sad, I'm fine."

Mom sighed: "Nizi, it's all Mom who has affected you." If I'm tough, I'll at least be able to graduate from junior high school! ”

My father's last wish was to ask my uncle to send me to junior high school, and he gave him all his savings, and he agreed at that time.

But I confessed my two girls, but I came down from elementary school, and my uncle said that I was stupid, and I couldn't take every exam, so I didn't have to confess at all. In fact, it was because he always asked me to work, and I was tired half to death all day long, so I didn't have time to study, and of course I wouldn't do well in the exam.

I feel sad when I think of the past, but I don't want to make my mother sad, so I comfort her: "It's okay, we can't go to a good place, there is always a place to go, don't be sad." ”

Seeing that it was about to be afternoon, my stomach began to growl, although my mother didn't speak, but I also knew that I must be hungry, how long can those corn buns last?

I was about to go back with my mother, but I didn't find a job, and I was very disappointed.

When walking on the street, I accidentally ran into Liao Qiang, who was looking at some gloves with Zheng Sisi in front of a small stall, the two of them were standing very close, Zheng Sisi picked up a red hair scarf and looked down, with a smile on his face.

Liao Qiang saw it, and hurriedly took out the money and handed it to the vendor, this scarf is quite expensive, it costs three yuan. He wrapped the scarf around her neck, and the two of them smiled at each other.

My heart moved, how long have these two people known each other, they are really bold enough.
