Chapter Twenty-Four, Part-time Jobs
That day, I was prescribed sleeping pills from the hospital, took a bath, took the medicine at ten o'clock and went to bed, at first I couldn't sleep over and over again, so I simply got up and ate another piece, this time I fell asleep in a daze, and I slept until dawn, and I was woken up by a few alarm clocks.
When I first graduated, I slept very well, and I often missed work because I didn't hear the alarm clock.
Every time, I rushed to the hospital, and I usually didn't have time to eat breakfast.
After a few times, she went to the store and bought two alarm clocks, a desk, and another one in the living room, which rang every five minutes, so that she would no longer be confused and turn them off.
Over the years, she has slowly become accustomed to the timed bombing of several alarm clocks, and it is because of this that she can be woken up in time after taking sleeping pills.
When I woke up the next day, I felt a little headache and a strong feeling of sleepiness, which was a side effect of eating a good sleep.
Yawning all day, so sleepy that tears were about to flow out, I rested on the desk at noon, and got better in the afternoon.
——
I can rest on Sunday afternoon, because I can't go anywhere because of my leg injury, so I just stay in the dormitory to read, and today Lu Yiming is on duty all day, and she can't bother him.
Only she and Xiao Wu stayed in the dormitory, and the other roommates went out shopping.
"Next week is the end of the month, you can't go back like this."
After going back after the military training, they haven't gone back yet, next week on the weekend, Xiao Wu and they definitely want to go back, but Meng Xin's feet haven't been removed yet, and she is definitely unwilling to go home.
So Xiao Wu is a little embarrassed, and it is impossible to leave her alone in school, first, it is inconvenient for her, and secondly, she is really worried.
"It's okay, you just say that I went to my dad's to see my grandparents on the weekend, and grandpa won't ask anything."
Meng Xin's father's house is in the city, not far from the city's No. 1 Middle School, and he co-opened a taekwondo gym in the city center.
It's just that since her parents divorced, she has rarely seen him over the years, and she has only gone to see her grandparents when he is not at home.
And her father has a younger brother who is almost ten years old, and her grandparents are a bit patriarchal and don't like her very much.
Gradually, there were fewer of them.
"Ake said that he is going to find a part-time job today, and he may not go back next week, so you stay in the dormitory, and he will bring you food."
Meng Xin has no problem walking with crutches now, and now she is all upstairs and downstairs, but the canteen is a little far away, as long as the problem of eating is solved, the rest is okay.
"Okay, you can go home in peace, remember to go to my house to help me get two thick clothes, and bring me some delicious food, I can take care of myself."
It's already autumn, the temperature difference between morning and evening is a bit big, she didn't bring thick clothes when she started school, and there is still a month, so she must prepare in advance.
"Don't worry about this, I will definitely bring it to you."
The two chatted for a while, and then continued to read and brush up on the questions, although they were only in their first year of high school, but for the students in the experimental class, they could never relax. In the first semester of high school, classes will be divided, and if you don't do well in the exam, you may not be able to enter the experimental class, and if you want to get a good score in the college entrance examination, you will be hanging.
Ake wanted to take advantage of the time when the freshman year of high school was relatively loose to find a part-time job, earn some living expenses, and start a business to reduce the burden on his mother. Lao Wu went with him in the afternoon.
He mainly wanted to go to a training institution to substitute teach, take the Olympiad class of primary school and junior high school, and the identity of the top student in the experimental class of the first middle school in the city made him quickly find a more suitable job.
He only had to go to class in the afternoon and evening on weekends, a total of four classes, each class was forty-five minutes, and he was given fifty yuan a class during the probationary period, because he was only part-time, but the principal also said that if the student's grades were good, his salary could still be negotiated.
That's actually not bad for Ake, but then he basically doesn't have time to rest.
"I tried two classes today, and the teacher over there said it was pretty good, so I will officially start the class next week."
Ake brought snacks for Meng Xin and the others, and the four of them sat on the grass next to the playground and chatted together.
"The training institution charges so much, why do you give you such a little money, it's really too pitiful."
Meng Xin was a little upset for him.
"There's no way, it's good if people can agree to me going, they generally only recruit school teachers, and basically don't want to recruit students, for fear of taking responsibility. The main problem now is that the training school is a bit far from our school, I don't know if there is a bus at night, it is better to be able to rush back before the lights go out. ”
Ake has tried all kinds of part-time jobs since he was a child, they are all used to it, he is more experienced in this area, he thinks he can do it, earn two hundred a week, and the living expenses are basically enough.
"Why don't we go to work part-time in the winter vacation and summer vacation, how can we make up enough money for you to go to college. We said that the four of us are going to college together, let's work together! ”
Xiao Wu was on the side to cheer everyone up.
"Let's go to college together!" This is their agreement and their dream.
"It's okay, I'll think of other ways, there will always be a way!"
Ake felt that the reason why he was able to persevere was because he had a few friends.
Life is hard, what if you are tired.
With them by your side,
He is not afraid of anything.
Poverty will not overwhelm him, because his companions will never look down on him.
When it was almost ten o'clock, Meng Xin received a call from Lu Yiming, and she was afraid of disturbing her roommate, so she went to the stairwell on crutches to talk on the phone.
"Did you just get off work?"
Meng Xin sent him a message in the afternoon, and he never replied, so she knew he must be busy.
"Well, I saw it when you messaged me in the afternoon, but I just picked up a car accident patient, combined with more fractures and internal organ bleeding, our emergency surgery didn't end until almost nine o'clock, I just returned to the dormitory, and now I'm cooking noodles."
It can be seen that Lu Yiming should have put his mobile phone on the table and turned on the amplification to chat with her, because it sounded a little noisy.
"You're hungry, won't it bother you, I'm not in a hurry, why don't you eat first, and we'll talk when we have time."
Hearing him say this, Meng Xin suddenly felt something choked in his throat, and he couldn't tell what it felt.
"It's okay, let's talk while eating, you said in the afternoon that you want to know where to buy a second-hand bicycle, you can't ride it with a leg injury now, why are you buying a car?"
Lu Yiming's noodles were boiled and served, and then he took the noodles and his mobile phone to the meal, and listened to her while eating the noodles.
"Ake got a part-time job, and the training school there had two classes in the evening, and he definitely didn't have a bus after class. I knew he was reluctant to spend money, so I wanted to ask if there was a cheaper second-hand bike, which was not too good, and could be used as a walking tool. ”
Meng Xin knew that the worst of the new bicycle would be hundreds, and Ake would definitely be reluctant to spend this money, and he would never accept such an expensive gift from her.
"I seem to have a bicycle at home that I used to use when I was studying, and I should be able to ride it, and I will go home next week, if your classmates don't dislike it, I will put it in the trunk and bring it over when the time comes."
Lu Yiming still has a good impression of Ake, knowing that his family conditions are a bit difficult, but this child is very promising, and he earns tuition fees by working in the summer, which is particularly inspirational.
