Chapter 9 Worries about livelihoods

"Su Di, you are going to be in the second year of high school at the beginning of this summer, you are not studying well, and you have to find a school for you, if the school does not accept it by then, don't go to school, follow your mother to work!" Su Jingzong suddenly said earnestly.

Su Di looked at her father in surprise.

Su Jue was also a little surprised, yesterday her mother was arguing with her father about choosing a school for them, and now her father has changed his mind.

"Dad, I'll study hard." Su Di hurriedly said.

"The school shouldn't accept it, right?" Su Jue smiled and comforted her sister, she knew that if her sister stopped going to school, then she would only have to follow the female workers in those factories in her life, get married and have children, and live an ordinary life.

In that life, my sister died in childbirth, and Su Jue didn't see her before she died, and her heart hurt when she thought of this.

Su Jingzong said to the two: "Let's talk about it!" Let's go eat first! ”

Su Di still stood there hesitantly, wanting to say something to her father, but was pulled away by Su Jue.

The two sat at the dining table, Su Di's expression was not very good, and she seemed to be worried that she really couldn't go to school.

"Sister, didn't Mom say it? Let's go to Xiangyang High School, don't think about it, that's what Dad said. Su Jue said.

Su Di tore open the pancake in her hand and handed it to her half, knowing that she was comforting herself, she nodded.

After Du Yuemei came back, she entered the house without speaking, and Su Jue knew that her mother had not found a job. She followed into the house and asked with a smile, "Mom, how is it?" ”

"If there is no suitable one, look for it in the next two days!" Du Yuemei said.

Su Jue nodded.

As if she was afraid that her daughter would be worried about her future livelihood, Du Yuemei hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the tuition fees are ready, and I will send you and your sister to study in time for the start of school tomorrow!" I won't let you two suffer! ”

Due to her husband's cowardice and incompetence, Du Yuemei has never looked ahead or backward since the trouble in the hospital, and she is no longer gentle and timid when she speaks and acts! She just wants to work hard to support this family and plan for the future!

Su Jingzong, who was sitting motionless outside, seemed to hear the conversation between the two, and walked in at this time, with a gloomy face, and said, "I told Su Di just now, if people think she doesn't study well and doesn't accept it, then don't let her go!" Now a girl as big as her doesn't have to worry about finding a job! ”

As soon as Du Yuemei heard his words, she immediately exploded, stood up with a bang, and said with a glare: "What did you say?!" You want the boss not to go to school and work?! ”

"What's wrong?! What's so good about girls going to school! Juan'er, the daughter of Zhou Touer in the village, works in a textile factory and sends home 100 yuan a month! A while ago, I heard that someone told her that the other party was a city person, and she took a lot of money for the engagement bride price! Su Jingzong also said angrily.

Su Jue understood that his father wanted his sister to make money.

Su Di heard the struggle of her father and mother, and hurriedly walked out of the room, leaning against the door and listening carefully.

"You yourself have hands and feet and refuse to make money to support your family, and you are also worried about other people's bride price! I don't agree with this, the boss has to go to school! Du Yuemei said very firmly.

Su Jue glanced at her mother with emotion.

Although my mother didn't know a few words, she was a rural woman, and she had dealt with fields and crops for half her life, let alone seen anything in the world, but what she did and her opinions were indeed stronger than most people!

"What are you doing to feed her? Su Jue is also going to high school this year, and the tuition fee has also risen! Su Jingzong felt that his wife was unreasonable at this time!

"Leave me alone! I've got my own way! Du Yuemei sat down again, put one hand on the table, and frowned.

Su Jue suddenly wanted to cry, in her previous life, it was also her mother's insistence, so that she could finish junior high school and high school, and go to college after high school, so that she could finally get out of here and see a farther and bigger world.

She bit her lip and glanced at the two of them, then turned and went out.

In the next few days, Du Yuemei has been looking for a job outside.

But the fact is indeed as Su Jingzong said, there is no good craft in the city, and it is difficult to make money to make a living.

Although Du Yuemei was not discouraged at all, and she couldn't see that she was depressed and sad, Su Jue's heart was really distressed.

Sister Su Di didn't go out for a few days, locked herself in her room after eating, silently read and wrote, very hard, it can be seen that she is eager to go to school, although she doesn't dare to say it in front of her parents.

One morning, the family sat together and ate breakfast quietly, although the landlady next door, Zhao Qiuyue, and her son were arguing loudly again.

"Actually, I almost got a job yesterday, but then people thought I was old and didn't want it." Du Yuemei said with a smile.

Su Jue tilted her head and took a bite of the fried bun, and when she heard her mother say this, she swallowed it after eating, and pouted, "Mom, what did you say?" Where are you old? ”

Su Jue's expression was a little exaggerated, making Du Yuemei laugh.

Du Yuemei looked at her husband again, suppressed her anger and asked, "It's okay for you to do nothing at home every day!" I asked a factory yesterday, they are short of a janitor, do you want to go? ”

"I'm looking for no less than you! People don't want it, or the salary is low, and I can't help it! Su Jingzong sneered.

Su Jue picked up a fried bun with chopsticks again, she knew that every time she talked about work, the two of them could always quarrel.

Although his father was right, he also went to look for it, but he obviously didn't go out much in the past few days, and he smoked more cigarettes day by day, and the boss was unhappy all day long.

"What's wrong with low wages? You do it first, and if you have a high salary, you can't quit again? You are the head of the family, who will support this family if you don't support it?! Du Yuemei's anger came up again.

"Humph! You now remember that I am the head of the family! Aren't you quite capable? What did you ask me?! Su Jingzong said.

"I didn't ask you anything?!"

"If my opinion is respected, we are now in the country!"

The two glared angrily, and neither of them would back down.

Sister Su Di suddenly put the chopsticks on the bowl, lowered her head and said loudly: "Dad! Mother! Stop arguing! I don't go to school anymore, no! ”

Su Di is usually very sensible, and her voice is very small, so loudly, Du Yuemei and Su Jingzong really stopped.

"Do you hear that?! Since Su Di said so, it's not good to force her to go to school, right?! Su Jingzong said.

"Must go to school! Didn't you force her to say that? Du Yuemei's excited chest rose and fell violently.

Su Jue's chopsticks also have a golden and fragrant fried bun on it, this is a handicraft passed down from her mother's family, every time her mother makes this, the family can always eat it quickly! Even the neighbors in the village praised it for eating!

But they fried it so fiercely that she couldn't eat it anymore.
