Every time Qin Yue calls her sister Qin Yang, she reports good news and not bad news!

"Sister, I took the first place in the county this time!"

"Sister, I finally got into the top 30 in the city's final exam this time, but I still feel that it is still out of reach of my Peking University Tsinghua University?"

"Sister......

Qin Yang on the other end of the phone finally comforted his sister vigorously: "You must be able to do it." ”

At the end, Qin Yang would always ask, "Do you have the money to use?" ”

Qin Yue will always have only one word, "yes".

She never mentioned to her sister that she helped out in the school cafeteria just to convert the living expenses in her meal card into cash pocket money!

After entering high school, Qin Yue basically didn't go home during the Dragon Boat Festival and Labor Day holidays! The mother, who can't read big words, only knows that her youngest daughter is in high school, and her living expenses and tuition fees are all covered! Therefore, in the three years of high school, the money she gave Qin Yue added up to less than 1,000 yuan.

During the holidays, the school cafeteria generally does not serve meals, so there is no need for Qin Yue's help!

Whenever that happens, Qin Yue will always be cheeky and plead with the owners of those small restaurants outside the school, "Uncle, I'll help you wash the dishes, can you pay for this meal?" ”

Qin Yue felt that she was lucky, and the bosses who understood her accounted for the majority!

Some bosses knew that she was a child of a poor family when they saw what she was wearing, and when she left, they would give her one or twenty change. But she never accepted it, and every time she politely refused, "Uncle, I just need to solve the problem of food and clothing!" ”

However, even during the holidays, Qin Yue was washing dishes in a small restaurant outside the school to change her food, but she was still afraid that a very small number of classmates who stayed with her would see it. She would always beg her boss to help her carry the dishes and chopsticks to be brushed in the backyard where no one could see them.

At first, when Qin Yue went to the school cafeteria to help, she didn't have any worries! But there is a saying that "when a person goes under the eaves, how can he not bow his head". … Aichi Literature ... Free to read

At first, she noticed the strange eyes of her classmates, and she was really uncomfortable in her heart. But after a long time, the students got used to this class bully who would help in the cafeteria every day! And she seems to be used to the faces of everyone in the class!

However, Qin Yue sometimes couldn't help but wonder if she would die early if she worked so hard. Sooner or later, will you go to heaven to accompany your father? Should I take it easy?

However, Qin Yue has her own troubles about this. For example, from the second place to the tenth place in the class, you chase after me every time you take the exam. In short, the next easiest and most straightforward goal for those who are not in first place is to try to surpass the first place! There is only Qin Yue, she can only be the first in addition to the first place. She secretly set a goal for herself, and she must score 5 points more in the next exam than this time!

Of course, "people stumble, horses stumble". Occasionally, when the exam questions are difficult, she also fails to achieve the goals she originally set. For this reason, although Qin Yue, who is still the first in her class and school, will always be sad for a while.

However, these feelings are only known to Qin Yue herself! When a few years later, Qin Yue to others

When he talks about it, he is light and breezy, as if he is teaching other people's ups and downs!

At the end of the first semester of the second year of high school, Qin Yue found a finished homework book, cut out all the blank spaces by herself, and made a small sticky note book. Since then, the countdown to the college entrance examination has been opened!

Qin Yue will simply write down her gains and losses that day and the extra homework she needs to complete the next day in the notepad! She always keeps this small notebook in her school bag. Whenever you feel tired and unmotivated, take it out and have a look!

In the blink of an eye, the end of the semester is coming!

Suddenly, one day, her mother Jiang Cuilian appeared at the door of the fourth class of the second grade of high school, and very politely shouted to the teacher in class, "Teacher, please help me call Qin Yueshi!" ”

That familiar voice made Qin Yue very excited, she basically hadn't heard the voice of the chemistry teacher's instructions, so she ran out of the classroom in three steps and two steps!

Qin Yue called "Mom" and couldn't say anything anymore. The mother is still wearing a pink floral shirt. The two pockets on the side of the shirt have been washed so that you can't see the pattern, revealing most of the mottling! She was clutching two cartons of pure milk in her hands.

The moment the mother and daughter looked at each other, there were tears in each other's eyes.

"Xiaoyue, you worked hard in high school, I bought you two cartons of milk by the way, you see you have lost weight, you need to supplement some nutrition." After speaking, her mother stuffed the milk into Qin Yue's hand, and left quickly without looking back. Qin Yue chased and shouted behind her, and her mother just turned her head back and said, "I'm leaving, there's no time!" ”

Qin Yue stood in place holding the two cartons of pure milk, and the residual warmth of her mother's palm remained on the milk cartons.

As soon as Qin Yue returned to the classroom, the bell rang for the end of the afternoon dinner. Qin Yue hurriedly stuffed the milk into her schoolbag and ran towards the cafeteria quickly.

After the final exams, the school informed the students in the high school class that they had to make up for 10 days of classes. All the students and teachers were feeling a little tired. But all students who go to high school, especially those in key classes, work hard for only one purpose, and that is the college entrance examination.

After finishing the class, there is only one week left until Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve night! Qin Yue called her sister Qin Yang and asked her when she bought the train ticket to come back.

She never thought that her sister would come back for the New Year this year, but she didn't come back all of a sudden. It is said that the overtime pay for the Spring Festival in the factory this year is higher, so I will not come back for the New Year! also asked Qin Yue to tell her mother on her behalf!

When Qin Yue returned home, she relayed her sister Qin Yue's words to her mother Jiang Cuilian. My mother nagged several times, "Didn't you say that you would come back for the New Year this year, why don't you come back?" She hasn't been back for three years! ”

Immediately after, Qin Yue heard a sigh from her mother's room.

Qin Yue finally knew from her mother that the reason why her mother went to see her in a hurry that day was because they helped the boss to move materials to the county seat, and the car happened to pass by Qin Yue's school gate. The boss only gave the mother fifteen minutes, and the mother looked for it

The classroom took a lot of time.

Hearing her mother's explanation, Qin Yue was always relieved.

The money for Qin Yue to buy milk was taken out of the extra reward given by the construction site boss that day. But her mother didn't say that to her.

It's just that what Qin Yue and her mother don't know is that her sister Qin Yang, who was originally using overtime as an excuse, is plotting to brew a shocking secret.

The moment he told his sister not to go home, Qin Yang suddenly felt as if he had made a major decision in his life, half of him was apprehensive, and the other half was excited.

In short, her heart is up and down. The boss often tells everyone at the staff meeting that they should spend more time with their families, be more filial to their parents, and never wait until the son wants to raise and not wait for the time to regret it.

However, in front of the poor people, all this seems to be an empty word and a joke blurted out! Poverty is a disease, and only by persisting in not working hard can there be a chance of cure.

If poverty is deeply rooted in the marrow, but there is no action and determination to make efforts, poverty is a disease that will not be cured for a long time, and even accompany people throughout their lives.

Seriously, in his heart, Qin Yang wants to go home. With my mother and sister! After working in this city for three years, Qin Yang will be 20 years old after the beginning of the year! Her biggest feeling was the strong feeling of loneliness when she was so tired that she couldn't sleep in bed after a long day of work!

But in this bustling Guancheng, she has no relatives, and the wall of the factory is her horizon. At the age of twenty, she gradually got rid of her naivety and simplicity about the world! Life is the same for everyone's growth, in helplessness to get rid of naivety and innocence, but in helplessness to become mature and indifferent.

There are very few opportunities to meet my best friend Zhang Xiaoqing.

The only few times they met, Qin Yang felt that this inseparable good friend who used to sleep under the same quilt and only went to the town's clothing store to shop without buying it on vacation had already become another girl she didn't know!

In addition to his exaggerated burgundy hair dyed with wavy curls, Zhang Xiaoqing's makeup is getting thicker and thicker, and the double eyelids attached to the two eyelids are like hanging two fish bones that are close to transparent color. Long false eyelashes took up more than half of her eyes.

For these, Qin Yang had no way to get used to them anyway. Although every time he saw Zhang Xiaoqing, Qin Yang always greeted her politely first. But once upon a time, Qin Yang began to have a deep sense of distance from Zhang Xiaoqing.

I remember that once, on the way to work, Qin Yang met Zhang Xiaoqing and her boyfriend Xia Changfeng, who were returning from shopping.

Although it is already winter, Zhang Xiaoqing is still wearing only a bandeau camisolet and a pair of super short hot pants. What Qin Yang couldn't accept the most was that she still smoked.

In Qin Yang's house, no one smokes. Therefore, Qin Yang has a natural aversion to the smell of smoke. In particular, girls who smoke and dress scantily are considered inappropriate behavior in their hometown!

Xia Changfeng supported Zhang Xiaoqing, who was stumbling and stumbling with half a cigarette in his hand, and swallowing clouds and fog from time to time. Qin Yang was a little puzzled, so he asked what was going on.

Xia Changfeng explained lightly, the first night he accompanied Zhang Xiaoqing to play in the bar all night, and Zhang Xiaoqing was drunk!

Qin Yang is no stranger to places like bars. It's just that every time he passes by the door of the bar in the town, looking at the red men and green women sitting in the bar, and listening to the ambiguous music floating out of it, Qin Yang always has an unnatural feeling in his heart.

When it comes to the only bar in town, the grown-ups, especially the men, always have weird smiles on their faces. Therefore, after that, whenever Qin Yang passed by the door of the bar, he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

However, in Guancheng, the streets and alleys of bars of various styles are even more dazzling. Qin Yang still hasn't been there once. Even if Zhang Xiaoqing asked her out to play a few times, she politely declined on the pretext that she had something to do or was not feeling well.

For the city's bright lights, Qin Yang is not at all curious. However, for a place like a bar, Qin Yang is unwilling to go to it no matter what!
