Sun Xiaohong, who was disheartened, didn't want to live a decent life like Lingzi. But there is injustice in the world, which is contrary to the direction she wants to go. What can she do, if she wants to survive, she can't complain every day and complain about her grievances with some irrelevant people. In order to avoid everyone's gossip, she had to work in this restaurant. Although she earns a little less than on the construction site, it is much better than staying at home. After Sun Guodong knew, he stared at a pair of big-eyed beads and expressed strong opposition, but he could work for others, and it was not a shameful thing to earn money with his labor, Sun Xiaohong insisted on going, no one could stop him, and Sun Guodong had to rely on her temperament. The son of the dragon lord can float, as a father who has been a soldier, his own child knows best, he believes that what Xiaohong wants to do, he will definitely be able to do it well.

Chef Wang is a native of this village and a well-known chef, and Xiaohong's mother also knows him. He felt that it was a bit too much to let a cultured girl do some oil-stained twist work all day long, so he asked her to go to the front hall to entertain guests. Children born in the countryside are not so expensive, Sun Xiaohong does not pick any work at all, she rushes to do any work, she only stayed in the snack bar for two days, and basically adapted.

This summer, a lot of unexpected things happened in the alley. Zhiman's family moved to the city quietly, and Reiko of the fourth aunt's family also married the old man who was much older than her, Xiaofeng, who had just finished junior high school, also followed her eldest brother to the city where they lived to find a job. Hearing that it was easy to find a job there, her brother bought her a town hukou, maybe she would stay there in the future and not come back. After Xiaofeng left, the entire alley was silent. Many people followed the example of Xiaofeng and his brother, and began to rack their brains to spend money to buy a city hukou, and began to arrange employment for their children in the city.

Sun Guodong also wanted to buy a town hukou for Xiaohong, but after buying the hukou, the child went to the city without a serious job, which was also a troublesome thing. You have to pay someone to arrange a job. Several children in the family are staring at each other, and they can bite any of them with ten fingers. If you buy a hukou for Xiaohong, I don't know what the fourth son and fifth son think, seeing that they have all reached the age of marriage, if they spend all the money in their hands on this matter, once there is something at home, they have to raise their faces and beg for help. Therefore, he thought about it silently for a few nights, and studied it with Xiaohong's mother for many days, but in the end he didn't buy it.

Since Dayan's mother remarried, there have been more stops in the alleys, fewer people with more mouths and more tongues, and the conflicts between neighbors have gradually subsided. When Sun Xiaohong went out again, she couldn't hear some nonsense gossip anymore. There are several girls of the same age as Sun Xiaohong in the alley, walking and marrying, only she is still at home, and she has become a leftover girl in the eyes of people. Mom often complains in front of outsiders, saying that she is twenty-three or four, and she can't guess what she wants, and if she doesn't rush to talk about the partner, she really can't get married. also said that other people's daughters are intimate little padded jackets, but their own girls don't even have short sleeves, so they know to sing against her against her.

Sun Xiaohong didn't get angry when she heard it, she said whatever she liked. However, she has her own plans in her heart, marriage is a lifelong event, and she can't listen to others messing around. His studies are miserable enough, if his marriage doesn't go well, his life will really be in vain. She has to open her eyes and pick carefully, so she has more and more her own opinions, especially the kind of stubbornness that comes from the bones, and often rejects people from thousands of miles. Many people say that she has high eye sockets, and she looks down on people very much, ordinary people don't enter her eyes, and people make guesses out of nothing, Sun Xiaohong is also very annoyed after hearing it. There's no way, the tongue grows in other people's mouths, and she can't defend herself one by one, just say whatever she likes, she can't cut off a piece of meat anyway. For these village women who do not accumulate morality, she has no choice but to deal with them indifferently.

In fact, it's not what they say, she really doesn't want to marry herself in such a daze. As for who she will marry in the future, it is difficult to say, anyway, she said that if she is not looking for a partner in this village, no one will dare to come to the door to propose marriage in the future. When my mother saw that she didn't care about herself, she was often helpless.

On the day of my sister's admission notice, my mother cooked a few good dishes by herself, set up a few tables of banquets at home, and specially invited several teachers from the school to show her gratitude. While they were planning and bargaining, Sun Xiaohong walked outside and came in the door.

"Teacher Gu, you're here!" She stepped into the door, and when she saw so many people in the room, she was stunned, her nose was sore, she lowered her head, and tears almost fell. She saw Teacher Gu at the banquet at a glance, smiled and nodded at her, she had to take a step forward, and said hello very awkwardly.

This teacher Gu is a well-known Chinese teacher, and she used to teach her when she was in junior high school. Because of his good teaching, many of his students excelled, and he was later invited to teach the graduating class by a key middle school in the city. At that time, Sun Xiaohong's grades were very good, and Teacher Gu valued her very much. I didn't expect that after the college entrance examination, I became like this. On such an occasion, when she saw her teacher at home, she felt a thousand remorse, and all kinds of feelings came to her heart, and she suddenly felt ashamed of herself.

Teacher Gu has not only taught himself, but also his sister's teacher, and his father invited him to his home today and arranged him in the main position, also to thank him for his special care of the two sisters.

Sun Xiaohong weakly retreated a few steps, for more than a year, she has been wandering in a dilemma, she wants to go to the city to review, but she is worried that she will not be able to pass the exam, if she does not go to review, she will work in society every day, she is still unwilling.

"Isn't this Sun Xiaohong? Hurry up and sit down! I didn't expect this to be your home! I really didn't expect it! Both of you are my students, and now you are both admitted to university, and your parents are looking forward to coming out! Teacher Gu also recognized her at a glance and got up from her seat. Sun Xiaohong heard Teacher Gu call out her name, she wanted to avoid it quickly, but it was too late.

"Teacher, sit down! I...... I ......" Hearing this, Sun Xiaohong was embarrassed, her face turned red, her tongue was like a plumb pendant, heavy and heavy, squeaky and speechless. Teacher Gu also seemed to see something, so he didn't ask anymore. After sitting down, everyone continued to drink and chat, and Mr. Gu also greeted his colleagues.

Sun Xiaohong took the opportunity to retreat from the house. Thinking that her years of hard work have come to naught, and now she relies on part-time work to maintain the status quo, she can't wait to burrow into the cracks in the ground. There were so many guests in the house, they all stared at the two sisters, she was worried in the corner thinking about her thoughts, and when she saw her mother lighting a cigarette and toasting, she couldn't go away for the time being. So, she hid in the kitchen, busy here and there, and never showed up at the table again.

The banquet was dispersed, and a bus came to pick it up. The teachers who were full of wine and food got into the car in turn, and Teacher Gu walked last. He quietly pulled Sun Xiaohong aside and said, "Xiaohong, your mother told me about your situation." If I had known that you were like this now, I wouldn't have let you waste half a year at home. I thought, you always work outside, and it's not a long-term solution. I thought about it for a long time just now, but I didn't come up with any good way to help you! Do you remember the middle school you used to attend? They are going to recruit middle school teachers in the county in a few days, and if you are interested in teaching, you may as well take the exam. You have a good foundation and have learned well, I think it is more suitable for you to teach in school, in fact, this is also a rare opportunity, I suggest you try it first, if you are admitted, go to school to teach, don't look for work everywhere! You are different from people in society, don't delay yourself! ”

Teacher Gu walked to the door of the bus step by step. When he got into the car, he turned around and told her: "Xiaohong, don't have any worries, review at home, your parents and I are waiting for your good news!" ”

"Teacher Gu, I listen to you, I will start reviewing my homework tomorrow, whether I can be admitted or not, in a few days, I will definitely take this exam!" Teacher Gu's words dispelled Sun Xiaohong's worries, and she kept nodding her head and agreed.

Looking at the bus that was gradually moving away, Sun Xiaohong's eyes were full of tears. Life is impermanent, and there are insignificant landscapes everywhere. Sun Xiaohong is not the kind of person who goes with the flow at all, but if she doesn't reach the end of the mountains and rivers, no matter how many circles she has gone around, as long as she can see a ray of light, she will definitely go all out to fight for it.

Sun Xiaohong went to the restaurant to serve dishes and wash dishes during the day, and when she came back at night, she sat under the lamp and flipped through the books to do problems. This time, she made up her mind to get a good score in the exam for everyone to see. Soon after, the middle school under the hill really posted a notice at the entrance of the school to recruit private teachers. Sun Xiaohong weighed the pros and cons, and felt that her ability was okay, and she didn't want to lose this rare opportunity, so she specially asked Master Wang for a morning off. Then I rode my bicycle and hurried to the middle school to register. Less than two months after she registered, she took the recruitment exam again. But when the start was over, there was no movement. She waited for good news while working in a restaurant, but it was all lost, and there was no news.

Secretly, she also inquired, but she didn't hear anything about recruiting teachers. This exam is very confidential, and no one who takes the exam knows their results. Not only was she disappointed, but even all the students who took the exam were anxious. When Sun Xiaohong thought of the impostor Guo Yanmei, she was disheartened. She felt as if she was going through a process for someone else that she shouldn't have gone through. She didn't dare to guess Teacher Gu who helped her, and she didn't know who else in this world was worth trusting. In the case of all hopes, she also completely died.
