Chapter 442: Invitation
Students basically rely on themselves to read, all by consciousness, either out of a thirst for knowledge, or thinking to be able to change their fate, no matter what, reading is the fastest path that ordinary people can take.
Meng Youyou watched one after another students walk into the gate of the county No. 1 Middle School, looking at their stiff backs, with more or less nervousness on their faces, after working hard for so many years, they are finally about to usher in the first watershed in their lives.
"Are you nervous too?" As soon as Meng Youyou turned his head, he saw Xiang Yanli standing there helpless and asked.
Xiang Yanli sighed helplessly, "When I saw them, I thought of myself, and I walked into the examination room like this back then, thinking confidently that I could go to the same university with you, but I didn't expect to overestimate myself." ”
I have to admit that she is just an ordinary person, neither with talent like Meng Youyou and Jiang Chuan, nor with the willingness to work hard like Lu Yizhou, so the result is actually doomed, and not all times there will be miracles.
"But you're not bad now," Meng Youyou comforted, "How can people live and everything is under control, there will always be unsatisfactory places, so what we can do is only try our best to take the road well, and the direction will not deviate too much." ”
She knew that what Xiang Yanli really cared about was not this, but because she was not in the same place, so there was something between Lu Yizhou and Li Shuang, but who can say for sure about feelings, even if it is the right person, if they meet at the wrong time, they may not be able to go to the end.
It is impossible for Xiang Yanli not to know this truth, but it is precisely because she knows that she can't pass the level in her heart, as a bystander, Meng Youyou can see through it but it is difficult to say it, even if it is such a close friend, she feels that there must be a boundary, so she can only be euphemistically consoled.
Xiang Yanli understood what she meant, and when she was about to say something more, she saw Lu Yizhou coming over, so she could only swallow her words back and change them to words, "What are you doing here?" Didn't you go buy something to eat? ”
Although she ate in the morning, she was too anxious at the time, she coped with it casually, but she was not full, and now that she is standing here, her mouth begins to be greedy.
"Let's go together, Aunt Feng Ying's shop is nearby, it's more comfortable to sit in the store and eat," Lu Yizhou found a good reason, and no one thought of refusing.
When the bell rang for the exam, a few of them rushed to Qian Fengying's noodle shop together, because it was not a meal now, and there were no customers in the store, only Qian Fengying and Aunt Meng were there.
"Yo, why are you here? Come and sit down, if you want to eat something, I'll make it for you," Qian Fengying was the first to see someone, and immediately came forward to greet him.
"Aunt Qian, have you been busy lately?" Meng Youyou casually nodded to hand-rolled noodles, and then asked, "We will go back to City B in a few days, do you have time to follow me over to play, my mother misses you very much." ”
This is not a kind word, Wu Qingmei is in City B, and she has told her several times on the phone, asking Meng Youyou to invite Qian Fengying's family to go to City B to have a fun together, in addition to chatting when they meet, the main thing is to let Qian Fengying and them relax.
Since Meng Dacai's death, Qian Fengying has taken on the heavy responsibility of supporting the family alone, almost everything at home and outside the family is grasped, only when she is really too busy, she will agree to let Meng Damiang come over to help, no way, the blow of the pain of losing a child is too heavy for the two old people, even if it has been so long, they can't really come out.
It's a lie to say that she is not tired, the visible haggard makes Qian Fengying look a few years old, not to mention, there is a lot of gray hair on her head, last time Wu Qingmei came back because Meng Youyou was pregnant, looking at Qian Fengying's appearance was very unpleasant, and she didn't say anything if she wanted to help, but she was directly rejected by Qian Fengying.
If it's just Qian Fengying alone, it doesn't matter, but there is a big family behind it, and adults will just pass by, but children can't, even if Meng Dacai is gone, Qian Fengying also wants the children to live with dignity, and they can straighten their waists and be upright, so it doesn't matter if she is tired to death.
Meng Youyou understood her thoughts, so after saying this, he immediately added, "Xiaojun is in high school, and he will be admitted to college soon, what I want is to let him go out to see the world and see how good it is outside, so that he will be more determined to study and review at that time, after all, he is a boy, if he has the opportunity to go out, it will naturally be better in a big city, Aunt Qian, don't you say?" ”
If she said anything else, Qian Fengying would definitely refuse immediately, but when it comes to Meng Jun, her heart is always soft, and she can do good things to her children, how can she, a mother, say no?
"Go, Aunt Qian, you see that you are busy all year round, you have to give yourself a few days to rest, it happens that the students are on vacation, and there is not so much business in the store, you just go and have a look together," Xiang Yanli also persuaded beside her.
Qian Fengying was still hesitating, but Aunt Meng directly decided for her, "Go, you take the two children over to play, if you don't have to play for yourself, you have to take a holiday for yourself, with me and your father watching in the store, there is no big problem." ”
Qian Fengying was a little uneasy, and hesitated for a while before finally making up her mind, "Cheng, then you can help us buy tickets then, and I will give you money when I go back." ”
Meng Youyou wanted to say no, but knew that even if she didn't accept the money, Qian Fengying would find a way to make it back from somewhere else, so she simply responded, "Cheng, this is not in a hurry." ”
Uncle Meng is busy with the business of the fried food shop, and Aunt Meng is running at both ends, and she can earn a little subsidy every month, plus Qian Fengying has a kind personality and good skills, so the business of the noodle shop has always been very good, although their family has two children studying, but the three adults can't make life go on.
Meng Youyou looked around the store, and after Qian Fengying brought the noodle bowl, she asked, "Aunt Qian, have you ever thought about opening another shop?" ”
"Where can I take care of opening the store again," Qian Fengying thought, but the reality was there, and she didn't have that much energy at all, so she was powerless if she had the heart.
"If you rent another storefront, if the area is larger and the location is slightly better, the rent for a year will not exceed five hundred yuan, and the average is about forty yuan per month, and if you hire a laborer, the monthly salary will be calculated according to thirty yuan, then these fixed costs will be seventy yuan per month," Meng Youyou counted the accounts one by one, deliberately slowing down his tone so that Qian Fengying could hear more clearly.
