Volume 16: Chen Xue (Xu Xiaoyu)
After the first seven days, Chen Ruifeng listened to Xiaoyu's words and went back to school, because the college entrance examination will be ushered in in a month, so he must review more carefully every day. He gets up before six o'clock in the morning every day, goes to the playground to run two laps and memorizes English words by the way, does mathematical, physical and chemical test papers in the morning, reviews Chinese English in the afternoon, and does a set of test papers in the evening self-study, and goes back to the dormitory to sleep after twelve o'clock, and memorizes English words for an hour before going to bed, in order to save time only eat steamed buns in the morning, noon and evening, and drink as little water as possible in order to go to the toilet less.
In the past few days, Chen Ruifeng is quite afraid of falling asleep, afraid of dreaming of his eldest brother, and reason tells him that he shouldn't be afraid, but he is afraid...... Maybe he doesn't want to face the fact that his eldest brother is dead! And every time I dream of my eldest brother, it will always end with waking up, and then it will be difficult to fall asleep, when my mind is only a mess, lying on the bed and looking at the top bed until dawn.
Another thing in the heavy study that he couldn't control, he really wanted to receive a call from Xiaoyu, he knew that she would not call in a short time, but he would look forward to it every day, like a seed buried deep in the soil waiting for spring to come, he would whisper to himself every day, and then carefully hide it.
Chen Xue (Xu Xiaoyu), who also didn't stay at home, found the auto repair shop where her eldest brother worked before her death as soon as possible, and she had two things to find her boss. The first thing: thank you, he helped the eldest brother after the accident, and gave the family 4,000 yuan, although he said that half of it was the eldest brother's salary, and the other half was a little of his heart. The second thing, because now Xiaoyu can't find anyone else, so she can only ask the boss for help.
"Thank you, boss!"
The boss said with a special sigh, "Alas! You're welcome, Xiao Chen has been working with me for almost ten years, and I treat him like my own brother. Alas!!! The boss knew that the girl in front of him was Chen Ruiwen's wife who had just passed the door, and she was also a poor girl. I have only seen two sides, Chen Xue is quite restrained, and hesitates for a while before speaking. "Can the boss trouble you with something? I'm looking for a job. "Looking for a job? Aren't you only in your third year of junior high school? The boss asked. When the eldest brother is here, you don't have to think about money, but ............ There are a lot of places to use money at home, and now I have to pay back the money I borrowed for the funeral first, and my younger brother will go to college in the second half of the year......"
The boss suddenly interrupted Chen Xue's words, "Do you want to leave?" I can help you. "He probably knows something about the two of them, since Chen Ruiwen is no longer there, it's not a big deal for the little girl to leave now, the Chen family will definitely be able to accept it, and the little girl's future can't be delayed like this." This is my home, and I'm not leaving. The boss was greatly moved by these words, but he didn't expect the teenage and thin girl in front of him to be so strong. Okay, I'll help you inquire, you go to school today and come back in a few days. ”
Chen Xue stood up and bowed earnestly to the boss to thank you. "Thank you, boss."
The spring is brilliant, the mountain flowers are splendid, the grass grows and the fireflies fly, and there is a burst of silver bell-like laughter under the ginkgo tree in the back mountain, like a bird singing happily on the treetops, wantonly swaying the happiness in their hearts, and even the dust in the air is flying with it. "Hahahaha......" "Big brother push it higher!" "Good! Xiaoyu, you sit tight. "Hahahaha......"
Xu Xiaoyu, who didn't have wings, felt that she had flown into the sky at this moment, and saw a broader world, hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers, fertile fields, clear mountains and beautiful waters, and a world of flowers............ "Ahhhhhh Nothing is found, nothing is left, and the world becomes nothing.
"Xiaoyu I'm gone, take care of yourself, and ...... Forget me! ”
"Don't !!" Chen Xue woke up from her dream and sat up from the bed. It was already dawn, and there were no other classmates in the dormitory except her. Covering his chest with his hands, his heart was still aching, even his head hurt, his face was cold, his eyes were a little swollen, and he was sad and sad in his dreams. In fact, she is very afraid of being alone, she will be cranky, she will not be able to restrain herself, she will fall into it and will not be able to extricate herself, but now is not the time, because she does not even have the right to be sad.
"Chen Xue's call!"
"Chen Xue will come to the garage immediately." Chen Xue received a call from her boss, asked for leave from her teacher, and rushed over.
The boss helped to find a job in the largest garment factory in the county, probation for one month, salary of 800 yuan / month, one day off per month, basic salary plus commission after the regularization, one month's salary, including food and accommodation, no accident after a month is a formal employee, if you can't pass the probation period, you have to change jobs, of course, it is not a big problem to get 2,000 yuan a month after the regularization.
Chen Xue didn't ask much, only said that she wanted to go to work immediately, which surprised the workshop supervisor of the factory, but he didn't say much, and arranged a dormitory for her first, with an upper bunk and a lower bunk to live in. At this time, Chen Xue realized that she didn't bring anything, so she had to ask the supervisor if she could go out to get her luggage after work in the afternoon, otherwise she wouldn't be able to sleep at night. The director readily agreed, because he wanted the little girl to go back and get it first.
After arranging the dormitory, the supervisor took Chen Xue to the workshop and handed it over to a female employee in her 30s, and everyone called her 'Sister Liu'. "She's new, her name is Chen Xue, I'll take it with you." "Hello Sister Liu!" Chen Xue bowed obediently, which made Sister Liu a little overwhelmed. "Supervisor, she's too young!" Sister Liu looked at the little girl in front of her, as thin as if a gust of wind could blow away. "Chen Xue is very smart and does things neatly, so you can rest assured that you can take her." "Okay!"
The supervisor explained Chen Xue a few words and left, and Sister Liu came over to lead her to a vacant sewing cart and taught her the power switch, needle change, thread change and threading. "This is an electric sewing machine, the light under your feet will turn slowly, and the heavy under your feet will turn fast." Sister Liu turned on the power switch, stepped on the foot pedal, and found a piece of rag fabric for her to try. "You try." Sister Liu turned off the switch easily. "Oooh... Good. ”
The sewing cart rotated rapidly, and the needle was like a hidden weapon without a trace, Chen Xue's heart was very weak, and she sat on the stool timidly, not knowing how to place her hands and feet. "Put your right foot on the pedal." Stick out your right foot and do so. "Turn on the power switch." Turn on the switch. "Step on it slowly." Step slowly. "Push the fabric forward." Push the cloth. Chen Xue is like a ragdoll doll, saying that she will never dare to go west to the east. And in just a few steps, her palms were already full of sweat. "It's okay, this needle stepping skill is all practiced, give you a day, and teach you clothes tomorrow." "Okay, thank you, Sister Liu."
"Be careful with the needle, it's easy to break."
Half a month later, Chen Xue finally broke a few needles on her two hands, and gradually got started, and she was also half a skilled car clothing worker, and she could keep up with Sister Liu's speed these days, although her own process was very simple, but she was still very happy, because she could definitely turn into a regular worker, and she would be able to receive the salary of a regular worker next month, and she could have an income before September, and then borrow some money to make up the tuition fees first.
On this day, Chen Xue looked at the calendar after work and found that the college entrance examination was going to be taken in a week, so she immediately went out of the factory to find the public phone and call Chen Ruifeng.
"Chen Ruifeng, come on for the college entrance examination!"
