Chapter 16: Little Catfish

I know that Mo Jielian is optimistic, I don't know that Mo Jielian is so optimistic!

"Living on wages?"

"Uh-huh. How many people have to pay off the mortgage after getting their salary, we don't, we just need to pay back the flowers. ”

"Mom! Do you have a credit card that you still owe to Huabei? ”

"......" noticed that Mo Yan's tone was abnormal, and Mo Jielian stopped uneasily, for fear that she would accidentally say something that would stimulate her.

Mo Yan felt that his legs were weak when he walked. A sentence flashed through her mind: What if I lose my job? Forget it, she won't scare Mo Jielian.

I left the house in high spirits and went home dejected.

Mo Yan strives to think in a positive direction: if you don't break it, you can't stand it. Now that this situation has been broken, there will definitely be a new atmosphere.

That night, the expensive fish maw soup came into play, and Mo Yan studied until 12 o'clock at night, still full of energy.

Early the next morning, he started to study hard again.

It wasn't until noon the next day that the fish maw soup was exhausted and I felt hungry.

"Yan, should we report yesterday's dinner?"

Mo Jielian was cooking dumplings while looking at her daughter flipping through a book at the dining table.

"Forget it, Mom. I checked that the per capita consumption of that small restaurant was four figures, and we ordered food to make a fuss, and the final payment was also four figures per capita, which was not outrageous.

Just spend money to buy a lesson, it's not a consumer occasion we go to, so don't go next time. ”

"Yan, I thought about it for a long time last night, if you don't have a deposit and you don't feel safe, I can consider selling my bags, jewelry, or something."

Mo Yan looked up and saw Mo Jielian's face as if she were at home. "Forget it, Mom. If you have already bought it, you can keep it. ”

In fact, Mo Yan's words were only half of what she said, she still wanted to say, can she save 1,000 yuan every month in the future? I just thought about it a little and felt that it was useless to say it, so I simply didn't say it.

On the positive side, at least her family is not in debt.

Mo Jielian turned over the boiling dumplings in the pot, and secretly looked back at Mo Yan, moved and empty-hearted, unable to speak.

There is only the last package of dumplings left, 250 grams, which is slightly insufficient for two people. Mo Jielian took out a small bone plate, still silently picked out a dumpling from her bowl, put it into the bone plate, and put it at the foot of the cabinet.

That's reserved for the little catfish.

Mo Yan turned his head and didn't look at the dumpling, for fear that it would suddenly become the fuse for his emotional out-of-control.

"Mom, how about I apply for normal school?"

"Will you be a teacher in the future?"

"Well, elementary school teacher."

"If you like it."

Mo Yan thought about it carefully, this was indeed what she wanted to do the most besides painting.

"By the way, where do you want to apply for normal school?"

"Let's look at the test results."

In Ronghuazhi, everyone's attitude towards the college entrance examination is polarized. Those students who really rely on their scores to be admitted to Ronghuazhi and top the competition in various competitions have been signed by the school with a college entrance examination agreement, and they will win a generous bursary bonus if they are admitted to key universities.

If you can be admitted to Tsinghua University, Peking University, Fudan and other national famous universities in first-tier cities, it is said that the prize money is as high as 200,000 yuan.

It's a pity that Mo Yan is not the kind of pride who relies on scores to be admitted to Ronghuazhi.

She just grabbed the place from kindergarten, year after year, relying on the accumulation of tuition fees, to retain Ronghuazhi's reading qualifications.

A student like her with average grades and no background, she may be the only one in the entire high school. originally thought that Wang Chengyou was also one of the freaks, but now it seems that Wang Chengyou is a monster, but it is not the kind of monster she thought.

I was dizzy and studied for half an afternoon, and in the evening, I finally couldn't take it anymore. Before 8 o'clock, I lay down and went to sleep.

Lying on his side on the bed, holding a soft pink bear, listening to the faint whistling of the north wind in his ears, he gradually fell into a deep sleep.

Squeak, squeak.

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden sound, which alarmed Mo Yan in his sleep.

Listen closely, the sound is very low, presumably the little catfish has come to eat the dumplings.

Mo Yan covered his ears with a pink bear.

Whose mother would raise a mouse seriously? And give this mouse you never met a "little catfish" name?

Mo Jielian easily didn't read the book, and happened to see an article about sardines, so she kept "catfish" in mind. She always wanted to give this name to Mo Yan, but Mo Yan insisted that she would not accept it.

Soon after, he found that there was a mouse stationed in the house, so he gave the nickname "catfish" to this mouse.

Here's the thing. The book says that Norwegians like to eat sardines, especially live fish. The price of live sardines in the market is much higher than dead. So fishermen always try to get the sardines back alive to the fishing port.

However, after all these efforts, the vast majority of sardines still die of suffocation in the middle of the process.

There is a clever captain who always makes most of the sardines back alive in the fishing port.

It turned out that the captain had put a catfish that fed on fish in a fish tank full of sardines. After the catfish enters the fish tank, they swim around, causing the sardines to rush left and right and dodge in all directions. In this way, the problem of lack of oxygen in the sardines will be solved, and the sardines will not die.

Mo Jielian lives in an urban village and is plagued by rats, cockroaches, tide insects, and flying ants. Otherwise, simply change your attitude and think of them as "catfish" that stimulate her.

She vowed to get out of the urban village as soon as possible, stimulated by these hateful "catfish". Unfortunately, the effort went in the wrong direction. None of the men who have high hopes can be relied on.

On the contrary, it was the little mouse who had never met before who gradually fell into Mo Jielian's heart. She began to give it all her own food.

Mo Yan thought, does this mean that ten years of hardship have consumed Mo Jielian's ambition? Has she come to terms with this poor and strapped life?

The little catfish tossed for a while, and the room became silent again.

Mo Yan fell asleep again in the endless tranquility.

The next day, after breakfast, take bus No. 21 to Ronghuazhi.

I got out of the car and walked to the school gate, and was gorgeously pulled down by the doorman.

"Tourists stop."

Mo Yan showed his badge.

"This classmate, please take off your hat, take off your sunglasses, and put away your mask!"

Mo Yan had no choice but to stuff all the small objects used for camouflage into Kafuka.

"Ahh It turns out that she is the new Internet celebrity! ”

"Hmm. Real people look better than photos! ”

"Such a good-looking young lady, why haven't I seen it before!"

"Little sister, don't run away."

Looking at Mo Yan again, he had already run away.

Running happily, he was suddenly pulled by someone, and before he could react, the person crossed the green bushes, like a Laoshan Taoist priest.

Mo Yan was so angry that he wanted to scold when he opened his mouth, but he thought about Friday night inattentively, so he reluctantly shut up.

"Huh." She smiled, hiding her anger.
