Chapter 20: The Scar (Part II)
After listening to his sister's story, Qin Yang was silent, and his heart trembled when he listened. "And what's the scar on your collarbone?" Qin Yang asked.
"They beat me!" Qin Yue's voice was very small. At the same time, she also buried her head low.
"Them?" Qin Yang was puzzled!
"Since you told me about my father's illness in a restaurant in the county seat, I vowed to study harder. Therefore, I could no longer hang out with them, so they beat me and burned my elbows and back with cigarette butts, a scar that was cut by a girl with a utility knife! Qin Yue pointed to the scar on her collarbone, which was seven or eight centimeters long, and her eyes were full of tears.
"Then why have you kept silent? No matter how bad it is, even if you tell the head teacher, it's okay"! At this time, Qin Yang was half distressed and half annoyed with his sister!
She felt sorry for her sister's ability to raise her grades at the bottom of the class because others didn't know about it! She is angry that those bad boys and girls will inadvertently ruin the lives of others or even her own if she is a so-called righteous anger.
"I don't want to cause trouble for my mother, and I'm afraid they'll be even worse on me!" Qin Yue lay on Qin Yang's shoulder and sobbed quietly, Qin Yang patted her shoulder to comfort her!
"So, Xiaoyue, you can't give up, you have to go back to high school and get a good university in the future, this is your future. By the way, what is the goal of the college entrance examination I set for you earlier? ”
"If you don't take the Tsinghua exam, you will be admitted to Peking University!" Because of crying, Qin Yue's voice was a little hoarse!
"Yes, that's right! From today on, your goal in the college entrance examination is not to take the Tsinghua University entrance examination to Peking University! As she spoke, she raised her sister Qin Yue's hand and made a triumphant "V" with some irregularities.
Qin Yang got up and took a glass of warm boiled water from the water dispenser for his sister, "Come, drink some water, your throat will feel better!" Her soft words calmed her sister's emotions gradually.
Qin Yue reached out and took two sips of the water cup, then put the glass on the table! The little pink face she had just cried on was like a spring peach blossom that had just rained.
"Xiaoyue, many times, when you are about to persevere, think about the grievances you have suffered, and you will feel that if you fall down at that moment, then all the heartache and tears you have paid before will be so unworthy! If you know that you will give up one day, why not go with what you want from the beginning? Why bother with boring and boring homework and exams? "Aichi Literature ... Fastest update
Qin Yang herself couldn't believe that she had never spoken too much, and she suddenly became sharp and eloquent in the face of her sister's desire to give up her studies!
Qin Yue nodded convincingly at her sister's words.
At the end, she added: "Actually, my initial efforts were just to make my father on the hospital bed feel more at ease with me and feel better in my heart, but I never thought that he couldn't wait for my high school entrance examination, and he couldn't see my exam results!" But now I seem to feel that this is good for me
Grades have lost their original meaning. ”
Speaking of their father, the sisters were sad again.
Qin Yang didn't expect her sister to think like this, she said to Qin Yue, "Xiaoyue, many times, the trajectory of life does not live like the trajectory that people preset. If at some point in your journey life has taken a turn, hit an obstacle, or even fallen! People who love her will continue to stand up, even if it is difficult to move forward, and never give up! It's like our father's illness, who would never have thought that such a thing would fall on our family? However, our mother didn't give up, and you didn't give up either, did you? When it came to giving up, Qin Yang lowered his eyes.
"But sister, you gave up your studies!" Qin Yue's voice was loud. Qin Yang couldn't have imagined that his sister would actually mention this incident! Like a deflated ball, she immediately lowered her head and said nothing.
At the beginning, it was not that she did not want to continue to go to school, not to mention that the homeroom teacher visited her home two or three times. However, as her mother Jiang Cuilian told her, child, if your mother has any way, she will not let you drop out of school, and your mother is really sorry for you! That night, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.
The reason why they rejected the class teacher's proposal to apply for the government's poverty subsidy was that they felt that their father's illness would be more sinful if it was over-treated, so it was better to try to make him more comfortable in his last days!
For life, no matter how hard it is, you must first not fall down. Of course, these were analyzed by Qin Yang after his father's death in combination with the various decisions made by his mother during his father's illness.
At the same time, although the family was already so poor that they couldn't get a penny, Jiang Cuilian, the strong mother, still wanted to keep a little last dignity for herself, for the whole family, for a pair of children and her husband. So, she said that she would not accept the application for poverty allowance.
What's more, in this kind of small place about power, money and favors, there are no people who have anything to do with it, no matter how much you need it. In the end, most of the endings were broken legs, and countless applications were written. After spending more than half of the year to a year, I finally tell you three words "not compliant".
However, abandoning dignity, Jiang Cuilian's other consideration is that even if she spends so much time and experience and gets the poverty subsidy, it is likely that her husband will not be able to use it! In that case, there is no point in it! This idea of hers was unfortunately said by herself! Therefore, she chose to carry all the difficulties by herself.
Qin Yang raised his head as if he had mustered up great courage, "So Xiaoyue, you have to go to school harder, even if it is to fulfill my unfulfilled wish!" ”
The hands of the circular electronic quartz clock in the dormitory pointed to half past one in the afternoon, and there were still six and a half hours before Qin Yang went to the night shift. Although she didn't close her eyes all night last night, she still said to her sister Qin Yue, "Xiaoyue, do you want to go out for a walk!" ”
Qin Yue nodded a little excitedly at first, and then shook her head again, "Sister, you still don't go out, you still have to work the night shift at night, and I still want to sleep again."
One sleep! With her sister's words, she was already so sleepy that her upper and lower eyelids were fighting, and her face had already broken out with pimples, and she and her sister entered a sweet and pleasant lunch break together!
When the two sisters woke up, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was dinner time!
Compared with the various delicacies of various snack bars on the street, the food in the factory canteen does seem a little shabby! The only benefit, though, is that it's free to eat!
Thinking that my sister had traveled all the way to take the car and then take the train for more than 30 hours, it was not easy to come here. Qin Yang decided to take his sister to have a good meal for dinner today!
So, Qin Yang asked his sister what she wanted to eat.
"It's better to be spicy and spicy!" Qin Yue blurted out!
Qin Yang took his sister to find a Malatang restaurant that was not too many, and after getting the meal number, he waited at the table to serve the meal!
"Xiaoyue, after you play here for a few days, I will send you on the train in two days, you can go home and study hard!"
Qin Yue seemed to be watching the flow of people coming and going on the street in a daze, and she didn't hear what her sister said to her at all. So, Qin Yang raised his voice a little decibels, "You have finalized the goal of taking the college entrance examination for Peking University without taking the Tsinghua University exam."
Qin Yue was taken aback by her sister's words, and replied affirmatively, "Sister, don't worry, I promised you, I will definitely work hard, and strive not to disappoint you and our mother." ”
"I mean, after you're here for two days, it's my turn to take a vacation, and I'll take you on the train home!" Qin Yang repeated what he had just said!
Qin Yue nodded!
Fortunately, there were not many people waiting for the meal, and the waiter had already served the food within 20 minutes of the sisters being seated!
Maybe it's because I've been really hungry these days, the waiter just brought the spicy tang to the table, and Qin Yue immediately ate it with a big feast.
Qin Yue was eating spicy tang in the wind, and said to Qin Yang excitedly, "Sister, it's so comfortable to eat!" ”
During the whole meal, Qin Yang barely moved his chopsticks. Seeing his sister eating, Qin Yang felt extremely distressed!
Seeing that most of the pot of spicy tang was at the bottom, Qin Yue picked up the paper towel on the table and wiped the oil from the corner of her mouth!
"Are you full?" Qin Yang asked!
"You're full, sister! It's really comfortable to eat! Did you know that the family hasn't eaten meat in a while? Qin Yue continued to wipe her mouth and said.
Qin Yang's heart trembled suddenly!
God, the family is actually poor like this. My mother is still working on the construction site, but she can't even eat meat! It turns out that in this world, there is poverty as incurable as terminal cancer! Qin Yang thought silently in his heart.
After eating, the sisters walked hand in hand to a bench in the city's street garden, where there were fewer people. Qin Yang motioned for his sister to sit down with you and take a rest.
Maybe Qin Yue noticed the change in the expression on her sister's face when she spoke earlier! So, she took the lead and said, "Sister, I want to tell you something, it's our mother's business!" ”
As soon as he heard that it was about his mother, Qin Yang motioned to his sister to hurry up
Say! So, Qin Yue told Qin Yang in detail about her mother Jiang Cuilian's theft of other people's pork on the 29th day of the lunar month of the previous year, how the police found the door, and how the police later sent New Year's goods and pork to the family.
"Mom thought I didn't know anything, but I knew everything, I just didn't want her to be sad, so I pretended not to know." Qin Yue finally added.
Sister Qin Yang on the side heard that her eyes were already full of tears. She knew her mother's life very well, if it weren't for the desperate poverty of her, how could she do such a thing! It can be seen how lethal poverty should be to people!
In a blink of an eye, it was time for Qin Yang to let the night shift, and she still took her sister back to the dormitory to rest! A few other girls in the dormitory! Although the age is not much different from Qin Yang, they are all colleagues in the same department. However, the six girls come from six different provinces, and their living habits, water and soil are different. Therefore, in the usual relationship, it is at most a polite nodding friend who sleeps in the same space.
Therefore, after Qin Yang settled Qin Yue back in the dormitory, he politely greeted his roommate and went to the night shift! Qin Yue was a little shy and called them sister!
There was nothing to say to the big sisters in the dormitory all night, Qin Yue just sat at the head of her sister's bed obediently and read the "Reader" magazine that her sister left on the bed!
Speaking of which, this magazine was brought over by Qin Yang when he first came to work, and the fragile cover has been turned over and fallen off a little!
