Chapter 4 Attending school
"Mom, Yoyo, why don't you talk to me?" Meng Zhenzhen pushed open the door and saw her mother and sister sitting on the bed, and then looked at the furnishings in the room, and tears flowed out before the words could be spoken.
Even the poorest family in the village had been living in such a house for a few years, but her mother and sister had been driven here.
Meng Zhenzhen only learned the day before yesterday that her family had gone through the procedures for Meng Youyou to quit school, and she planned to ask for leave to come back on the same day to see what happened, but the teacher kept persuading her to go home after the exam.
If she had known that Meng Youyou had suffered such a big grievance, where would Meng Zhenzhen be able to take the exam or not?
"Zhenzhen, why are you back? Aren't you in school? Wu Qingmei was surprised and delighted when she saw the person pushing the door in, and immediately stood up and asked.
In her heart, her eldest daughter is more worthy of her trust than her husband, and Wu Qingmei is also used to discussing with Meng Zhenzhen what is going on.
Wu Qingmei has not sorted out these things that have happened in the past few days, originally she was very worried that Meng Youyou was going to marry into the Zhang family, where would she be able to live a good life after being a wife to such a man, but she was afraid that it would be even more difficult than her life in the Meng family over the years, so before she knelt on the ground and begged Mrs. Meng, someone outside came to shout that Meng Youyou jumped into the river to find her death.
When Meng Youyou was finally rescued, Wu Qingmei found that she had a high fever, for fear that Meng Youyou would have a good one, so she never let go of her heart, and when she woke up, she didn't wait for Mrs. Meng to persecute again, and said that she wanted to split up and ask their mother and daughter to leave the Meng family from now on.
Things are one after another, Wu Qingmei is both worried and afraid, and when she sees Meng Zhenzhen at this moment, she seems to have found a support.
"If I don't come back, how do you know that you have all left the house, Mom, why don't you ask someone to talk to me, so that I can be with you," Meng Zhenzhen couldn't help but complain.
In her heart, her mother and sister are the most important people, far better than reading exams, and she wants to be by their side even more if there are things, after all, her mother is weak and her sister is simple, Meng Zhenzhen is afraid that they will be wronged.
"Sister, don't blame my mother for not telling you, we are thinking about stabilizing first, and when you come back from vacation, we will naturally know, and it is useless for you to come back to talk about these things, everything that should happen will happen, and your study will be delayed in vain," Meng Youyou replied before Wu Qingmei, saving Wu Qingmei from looking back and guilty.
Xu is tone is too rational, Meng Zhenzhen listened to it but let go of the heart that had always been hanging, she went straight to the house after returning from school, and before she could enter the courtyard door, she was stopped by Meng Xiaoping, and told her with a face that it was no longer her home.
Meng Zhenzhen didn't care if it was her home or not, but fortunately, Aunt Qian next door heard the movement and came out to tell her, otherwise she would never have imagined that her mother and sister would have slept in such a place last night.
"Sister, it's actually very good here, without grandma and aunt, you don't have to look at your face to live, how good," Meng Youyou knew what she was thinking as soon as she saw her expression, and said with relief.
In my memory, the best person in the Meng family to the original owner is not Wu Qingmei, but the sister of the same mother in front of her, from childhood to adulthood, it is Meng Zhenzhen who protects her, otherwise I am afraid that I will be bullied to death by Zhang Guiqin's mother and daughter.
Wu Qingmei couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, and said, "What Youyou said is that we don't have to look at our faces anymore. ”
She married into the Meng family, and only gave birth to two daughters for so many years, she didn't know how much she had been wronged, her mother-in-law disliked her useless, her concubine bullied her for being weak, and her husband watched coldly and turned a deaf ear, so that she was even a little numb in the end.
If it weren't for the presence of two daughters, Wu Qingmei would only feel that there was no hope for her life.
Wu Qingmei smiled, and the Meng Youyou sisters also laughed, but no, Wu Qingmei was obviously less than forty years old, and she had been rubbed by Mengjiacun for so many years, as if she had become an old lady of fifty or sixty years old, her face was yellow and black, her body was so thin that she seemed to fall into the wind, and there were a lot of white hairs on her head, which could not be covered.
"As long as the three of us mother and daughter work together, the future will definitely get better and better, and all the difficulties are only temporary," Meng Youyou said with a sigh of relief.
They are not people who are afraid of hardship and tiredness, even if they just go to work every day to earn work, they will not starve to death, and they will stutter to some extent.
"Yes, the difficulties are only temporary, when I graduate next year, I will be able to make money, and you don't have to be so tired, Mom," Meng Zhenzhen liked this sentence very much, and also believed in this sentence, and recited it silently several times in her heart before saying.
The tuition fee is not expensive, she usually helps her classmates copy materials or something to earn a few cents, and slowly saves her own tuition fees, and can also subsidize part of the living expenses.
It's just that now that she has left the Meng family, Mrs. Meng will definitely not give her any more money, Meng Zhenzhen has thought about it, she used to eat a black bun for every meal, and she will only eat one a day in the future, and if she is hungry, she will drink more water, and she will be able to boil it over, in short, she will finish reading the book.
"Youyou, you should continue to study, or we will go to the teacher to intercede, you continue to go to school, I will ...... at home" The more books she reads, the more Meng Zhenzhen can appreciate the benefits of knowledge, and the more she hates Mrs. Meng They took it upon themselves to go through the withdrawal procedures for Meng Youyou.
"Sister, you read hard, I'll study by myself at home, what can't I teach me when you come back," Meng Youyou understood Meng Zhenzhen's feelings, she was afraid that the person who wanted to go to school was herself, so she opened her mouth before she finished speaking.
Meng Youyou also knows the importance of reading in this era, but she has a learning system in hand, and she can learn even if she is not in school, so there is no need to go back to school at this time, except for increasing Wu Qingmei's burden, there is no other benefit.
"Then next semester, you must come back to school to study," Meng Youyou was still a little uneasy, and admonished.
The next semester is a new school year, and you can retake the entrance exam, although it will be a little difficult, but Meng Zhenzhen believes that she can definitely do it.
Meng Youyou hurriedly nodded in agreement, seeing that Wu Qingmei's face was full of self-blame, she couldn't bear it, and changed the topic, "Mom, there are sweet potatoes and cornmeal, you can get some food on the stove for my sister, she will definitely not eat when she comes back in the morning, and she will have to go back to school later." ”
"Eh, eh," Wu Qingmei patted her head when she heard this, she patronized and spoke, but she didn't expect Meng Zhenzhen to be hungry, so she hurriedly took her things and went out.
Seeing this, Meng Youyou and Meng Zhenzhen couldn't help but smile at each other, such a life is actually quite good, although they are a little poor, but they are not bad in the end.
