Chapter 1 Su Xue
"Thank you boss!" Ling Xin happily took the money handed over by the boss and thanked the boss. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The boss Zhong Fabai looked at Ling Xin in front of him, and he was also very satisfied with a young man like Ling Xin. In Zhong Fabai's opinion, this young man is clever, and he completes the task well every time, so Zhong Fabai is also happy to take care of him, and he pays Ling Xin an extra salary of several hundred every month.
Today is the day of monthly salary, and after being restrained for half a month, Ling Xin finally has money to spend again.
A salary of 3,000 Chinese dollars, this income is rare in the low-level poor areas of Huaxia. For example, in the high-level poor areas of China, their maximum monthly income is about 3,000 earth coins, and the exchange rate between earth coins and Huaxia coins is about 10 times.
And the quality of life in the high-level poor area is a hundred times that of the low-level poor area, and the salary Ling Xin gets at this moment is one-tenth of the high-level poor area, which is very good, of course, Ling Xin's work is not a decent job.
It is about the smuggling business in the low-level poor areas and the middle-level poor areas, and some items that are regulated by the state to lower the price in the low-level poor areas can be sold at a higher price in the middle-level poor areas, and some people make huge profits by smuggling such state-designated goods in the low-level poor areas, which is of course a crime.
If you are caught, it may take a year to earn back the amount of the fine you pay once.
Fortunately, Ling Xin is quite clever and has never been caught, but several of his partners who have done these jobs with Ling Xin have been caught.
Some of them were arrested, and they still continued to do this business without changing their faces when they came out of prison. Others, because of the huge fines, became afraid of this profession and left it after coming out of prison.
In fact, in the low-level poor area, the monthly consumption is basically 300 Chinese coins, and the worse is about 150 Chinese coins to live, but relatively speaking, it is more miserable, after all, it is a low-level poor area, this name is also placed here, and the people living here live a hard life in the eyes of many people.
But Ling Xin can't live like this, he is not alone, he also has a younger sister, and a group of orphanage children to take care of, 300 Huaxia coins can't meet his daily needs at all, and 3000 Huaxia coins can only be able to live.
The monthly salary settlement day is the moment that Ling Xin is most looking forward to, and at this moment, Ling Xin is carrying 3,000 Huaxia coins in his arms, and he is walking happily on the way home.
At this time, there are many snack stalls on the street on both sides of the street, and when Ling Xin passes by on weekdays, he smells the bursts of fragrance wafting from these snack stalls, and he is often hungry, but he has no extra money to buy, but today Ling Xin can buy some generously and take them back to taste it.
Ling Xin bought nearly 100 Huaxia coins of snacks at one time, although it was a little heartbroken, but looking at the snacks full of two of them, he immediately thought of the happy expressions that his sister and the children couldn't help but show when they ate snacks, and Ling Xin couldn't help but smile. As long as my sister and those children can feel happy at this moment, the 100 Huaxia coins will be worth it.
Ling Xin's family lives at No. 200, the third block of the low-level poor area, but even if the house in the low-level poor area is relatively cheap, it is not something that Ling Xin can afford at this moment, this house is obviously rented, and the orphanage that Ling Xin is concerned about is located at No. 189, the third block of the low-level poor area near Ling Xin's home.
The orphanage is run by a twenty-year-old girl named Su Xue, which is the property left by Su Xue's mother, after Su Xue's father left the mother and daughter and ran away, it has always been Su's mother who has worked hard to raise Su Xue, and take care of the life of the children in the orphanage, which can be described as a lifelong effort. On the one hand, Su Xue couldn't bear to let her mother's painstaking industry run for many years go down the drain, and on the other hand, she was even more reluctant to let the children in these orphanages endure hardships, so she resolutely gave up the opportunity to work in the high-level poor area and returned to the orphanage in the low-level poor area to take care of it herself.
And Ling Xin's parents, when Ling Xin was a child, it seems that they have been imprisoned for smuggling until now, according to the news that Ling Xin got that they seem to be locked up for at least 20 years, and all the property left by their parents has been confiscated by the state as a fine, which is the fine they should pay. Even if all of these assets were confiscated by the State, it would not be enough to cover the fines they should have paid. Obviously, the smuggling crime they committed was naturally heavier than the smuggling crime that Ling Xin was currently committing, and at the same time, they couldn't pay the fine, so the detention time was extended for a very long time. And Ling Xin's poor relatives originally planned to lend a hand, but when they heard that they had to pay a huge fine, those relatives retreated one by one. And it seems to have disappeared from the world, Ling Xin has not met them again in the past ten years, thinking that they are afraid that they will be investigated by the state if they have contact with Ling Xin's family, and they may be asked to pay the fine on their behalf, so they are naturally afraid to avoid it.
And Su Xue's mother is not related to Ling Xin, so she is naturally not afraid of being implicated, she is originally a kind person, otherwise she would not have built this orphanage to take in so many orphans. Su Xue's mother is still a well-known writer, so her income is quite good, and those readers know that she built an orphanage, and they often raise money for this orphanage.
So when Su's mother was alive, the orphanage's business situation has always been very good, and she even has the spare energy to take care of Ling Xin and his sister.
But now that Su's mother has passed away, there are still some readers of Su's mother who often donate money to help in the early days, but the longer Su's mother dies, the longer it takes. Those people's attention to the orphanage gradually disappeared, and in the past two years, there are even two loyal readers of Su's mother who habitually send donations to the orphanage's account, but the support of these three kind-hearted people. It's just a drop in the bucket for the orphanage.
……
Since the place where he worked was not too far from home, Ling Xin quickly walked to the orphanage with fragrant snacks that were still hot.
At this time, Su Xue was wearing a simple white dress to clean up in the courtyard, and the twenty-year-old Su Xue was in her youth, and she was also beautiful, with fair skin, although she never applied powder on her face, she was still bright and moving. At this moment, Ling Xin was at the age of strong blood, and inadvertently saw the snow white on Su Xue's chest when she bent down to clean, Ling Xin's face couldn't help but turn red, and her heart involuntarily accelerated and beat. Although he knew in his heart that it was impolite to stare at Su Xue's naked chest like this, it was still difficult for Ling Xin to look away from him. After a long battle between heaven and man in his mind, Ling Xin finally defeated his desire with integrity, and Ling Xin glanced away.
At this time, Su Xue also raised her waist after cleaning a small area, and then Su Xue saw at a glance Ling Xin, who was standing at the door of the orphanage at the moment and still had a little red face. Seeing Ling Xin, Su Xue greeted Ling Xin with a flower-like smile on her face, "Ling Xin, why did you get off work so early today?"
Hearing Su Xue shouting to herself, Ling Xin immediately came back to her senses and quickly looked Su Xue up and down. Finally, I looked at Su Xue's eyes, her eyes were clear, it seemed that Su Xue didn't notice her peeping behavior, looking at such clear eyes, Ling Xin couldn't help but feel guilty for her rude behavior just now.
"Sister Xue, I pay my salary today, you see I bought some snacks, ask the children to eat together!"
Saying that, Ling Xin lifted the snacks in his hand and shook them in front of him, Su Xue looked at Ling Xin and smiled and said, "Ling Xin, it's not easy for you to make money every month, and you buy these snacks to reward the children, my sister really can't help it." ”
"What are you talking about, Sister Xue, if it weren't for Mother Su's care, my sister and I wouldn't know what kind of life we were living now, I would give you 2,000 Huaxia coins every month as usual, and it would be enough to leave a little living expenses for me and my sister." No one can be bitter children! ”
When Su Xue heard Ling Xin's words, she was also a little moved, there were not a few people who were favored by Su's mother, but many orphans forgot about this orphanage when they grew up. They even tried to avoid thinking about this place. They succeeded, they made a living, and some of them were even able to get a place in the rich area, but these people thought that it would be very humiliating for the people in the rich area to know that they were orphans in the low-level poor area orphanage. Even when they think of their past, it is as if they have seen countless people around them smiling at them with mockery. Therefore, they tried their best to distance themselves from the orphanage in this poor area, so that it was impossible to trace their previous life trajectory.
If these people were willing to help, then the condition of the orphanage would obviously not be so bad, but who made this society a society that despises the poor.
If you are poor, you will be looked down upon, and if you are poor, you will be trampled on the soles of your feet, and many poor people today dare not snort even if they are bullied.
These rules seem to have been engraved in the bones of every rich person, it is extremely difficult for a person in a poor area to climb to a rich area, and a person who climbs from a poor area to a rich area to fall back into a poor area may be an instant thing, as long as someone reveals the news that he is a poor area, if that person does not mix with a considerable position, then his living situation will at least turn a 180-degree turn.
"Ling Xin, I still want to thank you, you take Ling Yin to the orphanage for dinner in the evening, I'll cook it myself!" Su Xue took the 2,000 Huaxia coins given by Ling Xin and said to Ling Xin.
Ling Xin was naturally happy. Su Xue's cooking skills are very good, but it's a pity that she can only eat it once in a while.
"Then I'll put these snacks here first, and I'll bring Ling Yin to eat in the evening." Sister Xue, then I'll go first, Ling Yin, this girl is still waiting for me at home, if she knew that I bought her snacks today, she would definitely not be able to wait! ”
Ling Xin divided more than half of the snacks and left them for Su Xue and the children in the orphanage, while he carried the remaining snacks to the house.
A gentle breeze blows, bringing a rare touch of coolness on a summer afternoon.
Su Xue's hair was blowing up in the breeze, and Su Xue habitually reached out to pull the few strands of hair that were blown up by the wind behind her ears, but this simple action unexpectedly had a charming taste, this scene made Ling Xin, who had just turned back inadvertently, stunned!
