Chapter Twenty-Six: What a Painful Realization
This was followed by intense military training. What the school promised her was that in addition to her tuition fees, she would also be covered with monthly living expenses. But he didn't promise to pay her living expenses and military training expenses during military training! For this reason, Qin Yue pinched a cold sweat for herself, but fortunately, her mother gave her 300 yuan. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do with this week's military training!
When Qin Yue called, it was just in time for Qin Yang to take over the shift after work, it was indeed a very busy time, and his spirit had to be highly concentrated. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome if it goes wrong.
However, Qin Yang, who received this call from his sister, was indeed happy for his sister from the bottom of his heart. However, for her, a little loss involuntarily swelled up in her heart. If Dad hadn't been sick, it would have been great, and he would have been preparing for the college entrance examination now, not just a junior high school graduate.
In this factory, Qinyang can feel the discrimination of old employees against new employees all the time, the discrimination of those with high education against those with low education, and the discrimination of supervisors against ordinary employees! And she belongs to the bottom of the discrimination.
A week of military training is short and hard! After the military training, it is followed by the intense high school life!
According to the results of the high school entrance examination, it goes without saying that Qin Yue was assigned to the fast class! According to the words of the homeroom teacher, the three years of hard work are only for one purpose of the college entrance examination! Therefore, there is no slackening in the slightest!
Qin Yue, as the second among the county high school candidates, basically brought together the top 100 students in the county for the high school entrance examination. They are the hope of three years from this class of students. The homeroom teacher is the backbone teacher of the school who has led six consecutive high school key classes. A woman in her forties who looked amiable and was actually a well-known female teacher at school.
Those brainwashing sentences, the female homeroom teacher named Cai Lan still reiterated it to the 56 students in the class on the first day of school for freshmen. Because of her strictness, this homeroom teacher also has a nickname that has been handed down. Students like to call her "jackal" behind their backs. She wasn't annoyed by this nickname at all, she just smiled and said to her classmates, "I will definitely live up to this title!" Students, work hard! ”
The school will send the living expenses to Qin Yue's card on the 1st of every month. As for whether there are classmates in the class who are treated the same as her, Qin Yue doesn't know.
Two weeks after the start of school, the meal card was finally delivered. Qin Yue had to rely on less than one-fifth of the remaining 300 yuan given by her mother, and she relied on eating a noodle for breakfast, making rice for 1 yuan each at noon and evening, and spending another yuan for half a pack of mustard vegetables each.
Before school started, her mother Jiang Cuilian told Qin Yue. Don't go home on weekends unless it's important. With her little labor, even if she goes home, she can't help much, not to mention that the round-trip fare is also a considerable expense. It's better to work hard in school and strive for good results in the college entrance examination in three years.
However, for high school students, weekends have become compressed! On Saturdays, you must go until 12 p.m. before school ends. It was seven o'clock on Sunday night
Back to school for evening self-study.
Although the life of high school students is so urgent for students, it still can't shake the homesickness of many students! As long as they have free time, many students are happy to go home on weekends and reunite with their parents and families. Therefore, Qin Yue became one of the few students.
She was the only one in the bedroom on the weekend. She spends almost all of her time studying. However, in addition to eating, no matter how much money is saved, students must also spend some pocket money. The easiest thing is to buy daily necessities, occasionally make copies of materials or something.
In order to solve these problems, Qin Yue went to the cafeteria after class to help with the food and wash the dishes, in order to get a bite of food! In addition, she lent her meal card to her classmates and folded the money out of the meal card. In this way, you will also have pocket money.
On weekends, when I go to the cafeteria to eat, there are not many students who eat, and the time that needs help in the cafeteria is relatively small. Therefore, Qin Yue chose to work as an hourly worker in a small restaurant on the street near the school!
Every time she goes home during the holidays, her mother Jiang Cuilian will also ask her if she has living expenses or anything like that. She would always proudly say to her mother, "Mom, the school will put the money into the lunch card on time every month, and I don't lack living expenses." ”
Actually, it's not that she doesn't lack money, it's not that she doesn't need money. It's just that she doesn't want to add any more burden to her already exhausted mother.
Such a "busy" life lasted for Qin Yue for the whole two years of the first and second years of high school. Until the third year of high school, in order to review for the intense college entrance examination, she could no longer spare any time to help in the cafeteria!
In the past two years, Qin Yue has almost never taken the initiative to call her sister. It's just because she is also afraid and worried that once she accidentally confides in her heart, it will also increase the psychological burden on her sister.
In the year of Qin Yue's high school holiday, Qin Yang still did not go home for the New Year. She still chooses to stay in the factory and work overtime to earn more money. It's not that she doesn't want to go home, it's just that when she learned about the huge debt at home, she added a little desire to make money!
In the blink of an eye, it is the Spring Festival again, and the first semester of Qin Yue's sophomore year of high school has ended! Seeing that Qin Yang has not been at home for three consecutive Spring Festivals! The mother and daughter have not been reunited for more than two years! Mother Jiang Cuilian said to Qin Yang on the phone, "Girl, you haven't come back for the New Year for three years, come back for the New Year this year!" ”
Half of Qin Yang's mother's tone sounded like a pleading, and the other half sounded like an order! So, she was silent on the phone for a moment before saying "yes".
In the past two years since Qin Yang had a mobile phone and did not need to go around through others to make calls, his mother Jiang Cuilian would always take the initiative to call Qin Yang every other month. On the phone, she always told Qin Yang not to borrow money back, she is already 20 years old, and it should be the age to save a dowry for herself! Don't worry about things at home!
But even so, Qin Yang still kept a little for himself after paying his salary every month, and then put all the rest of his salary into his mother's card. Like her mother, her greatest hope is that it will happen soon
The family's foreign debts were paid off.
Qin Yue's academic performance has always been among the best, and on several occasions, the teacher has mobilized her to stop going to the school cafeteria to help, and should focus more time and energy on studying - preparing for the college entrance examination!
After listening to the homeroom teacher's persuasion, Qin Yue just smiled and nodded. After that, everything was as usual, and after the head teacher persuaded her four or five times, she still had no choice but to give up! However, what convinced the head teacher was that Qin Yue's grades had never been affected by helping out in the school cafeteria. I can get into the top three in the county every time. In her class, she was always at the top of the class.
At the parent-teacher meeting in the first semester of the sophomore year of high school, Qin Yue undoubtedly became the object of praise from the teacher, and also became "someone else's child" in the eyes of other students' parents.
However, on the day of the parent-teacher conference, Qin Yue's mother did not go to hold a parent-teacher conference for her. For this reason, Qin Yue was lost for a long time. When the head teacher called Qin Yue's name and asked why Qin Yue's parents didn't come. Qin Yue had no choice but to bite the bullet and say that her mother was unwilling to come to the parent-teacher conference.
This surprised the parents present. It is not easy to talk about how a parent who is even willing to participate in the parent-teacher meeting can educate his daughter at the level of a top student.
After the parent-teacher meeting, after all the parents had left, Qin Yue told the truth to the homeroom teacher Cai Lan, "Teacher Cai, my mother works on the construction site, and she is afraid of delaying work. In addition, there is a lot of travel expenses to come to the parent-teacher conference. That's why she didn't come! My mom she really hard. After Qin Yue finished speaking, her eyes turned red! The homeroom teacher changed her usual strictness and kindly handed Qin Yue a tissue!
Qin Yue wiped her red eyes, and then said, "Teacher Cai, I can completely stop explaining this to you. However, I distinctly remember that you advised me on five occasions not to go to the cafeteria to help anymore and to devote all my energy and time to studying. However, I broke my promise every time! I just want to lighten my mother's burden more, but I also don't want to be a student who can only study hard but doesn't keep his promises in your eyes, so I just confess to you! The reason why I was straightforward to other parents at the previous parent-teacher conference. I just don't want to take advantage of my family's poverty in exchange for anyone's sympathy! For life, no matter how big the difficulties are, you can only face the difficulties, and wailing and complaining have no effect! ”
This serious female class teacher with more than 20 years of teaching experience usually has all kinds of strict teaching and requirements for students. However, even she didn't expect that it was the first time she was taught a lesson in this way by a student.
She stroked Qin Yue's short hair with a trembling hand, "Qin Yue, the teacher believes in you, you will definitely be a promising child in the future." ”
This serious female head teacher, who didn't let her go of her whether it was forehead lines, crow's feet or nasolabial folds, suddenly became convinced of her students!
This sophomore in high school has a deeper understanding than even some adults. Although it is such a painful realization, it is something that countless adults cannot do!
After that, the head teacher, Teacher Cai Lan, never interfered with Qin Yue's food at school again
Don helps! Just tell her to pay more attention to the combination of work and rest, and arrange the rest by herself! If there is any difficulty, just ask! But Qin Yue didn't say it once!
Seeing that Qin Yue had only had two or three sets of clothes to change back and forth for two consecutive years, the head teacher, Mr. Cai, bought new clothes and gave them to Qin Yue privately, saying that her daughter was wearing a little smaller! Although Qin Yue accepted it very politely, she didn't wear it once!
The kindness of the head teacher, Teacher Cai, although Qin Yue is not very old, she still understands that she can't accept such help no matter what. Even, the homeroom teacher, surnamed Cai, felt as if she had inadvertently hurt the student's self-esteem.
Even, Qin Yue sometimes thinks that the school will exempt her from tuition for three years and pay her living expenses every month! Why can you accept such a "benefit"? These, in her opinion, are all self-contradictory! Therefore, she had to study harder and be the first place forever.
How did this eternal number one come about? Many classmates only know that Qin Yue is very able to endure hardships and work hard! In fact, as a student in the fast class of high school, that is, the top class, there is no one who does not work hard!
