Looking at the enrollment brochure that was torn into snowflakes, Aunt Liu made a difficulty, "Dad, what school did you say Liu 1 went to?" ”

Today, Mr. Wang, the head teacher of Liu 1, said that there are several good schools, one of which is Qingjiang County Experimental Middle School, which is the best middle school in the county, Aunt Liu learned about it, this middle school has good teachers, good hardware, and high admission rate, and the only drawback is that it is a little far away from home.

Liu 1 is only eight years old, and if she goes to live in school now, Aunt Liu is reluctant, feeling that Liu 1 can't take care of herself. Although other schools are okay, compared with Qingjiang County Experimental Middle School, they are still a lot worse after all.

Thinking of choosing a school, Aunt Liu was a few years older in an instant.

She slapped Daddy Liu beside her with her elbow, "Are you talking?" Which school is better for my child to attend? ”

Daddy Liu still didn't speak, he looked at the shredded paper on the surface in a daze, holding a cigarette between his fingertips, and the ash on the cigarette head stretched out for a long time, and he didn't mean to bounce it off.

Aunt Liu knew that Daddy Liu's mind was completely on Liu 1, and she was a little angry.

"Old Willow!"

She hit Daddy Liu hard, and Daddy Liu trembled, and the cigarette ash on his fingertips broke off and fell to the ground. He looked at Aunt Liu, like waking up from a big dream.

"What are you doing in a daze? I discussed with you about Liu 1's schooling, why did you care about it at all?! ”

"I didn't hear you." Daddy Liu said apologetically.

"Didn't you hear?" Aunt Liu felt that she was already very loud, she felt that her husband was very wrong, he usually cared about Liu 1 the most, how could he not hear such an important matter. "What were you thinking?"

Daddy Liu was stunned, but he still decided to tell his wife the truth, he lowered his head, his body was slightly rickety, and his voice became tired, "The cash in the canning factory, there is a problem, and it is no longer enough to pay wages to the workers." This month's salary is estimated to be enough. ”

Aunt Liu mentioned in her heart that since Liu Jiayue left, she had no helpers, and she was busy with several children's affairs every day, and she didn't pay attention to the canning factory at all.

"Can't you pay your salary this month? Is it already that serious? ”

Daddy Liu nodded, "Yes, I only found out about this matter yesterday, and the accountant Xiao Wang suggested that I adjust the way of salary payment this month, and only pay part of the salary, and everyone will pay it." In the future, when the efficiency of the factory is good, the arrears of wages this month will be repaid. But I don't agree, if you pay your wages like this, it will be very difficult for the workers who live on their wages to support their families! ”

Aunt Liu was silent.

The gloomy and bleak atmosphere condensed over the living room of the Liu family, and Aunt Liu looked at Daddy Liu's yellowed fingertips, and her heart was not a taste.

When he was in Gutian Village, Daddy Liu didn't smoke, but when he was in the city, he couldn't beat a pack of cigarettes every day.

After a long while, Aunt Liu sighed shallowly, and the scorching breath spread on Daddy Liu's arm, "When you encounter such a big matter, how can you not discuss it with me?" We are a family, and we have to deal with everything together, not you alone. ”

Daddy Liu rubbed his nose, "It's very hard for you to take care of the child, I can't bear it." If you think you can solve it yourself, you can solve it yourself. ”

"It's okay, no matter how difficult it is, we've come here, haven't we?" Aunt Liu rubbed Daddy Liu's face with her forehead.

"Actually, I didn't expect this to happen, the production data of the cannery has not changed, the sales are good, it has been stable, I don't understand why there is a shortage of cash in the factory."

The Sichuan character pattern on Daddy Liu's forehead became deeper and deeper.

"yes, I haven't heard you say anything about declining sales. So how can cash flow be a problem? Why is there no cash? ”

Daddy Liu shook his head, this was the most incomprehensible thing for him, "I can't figure it out either!" I don't understand why, when everything has not changed, the factory has no money to pay salaries. ”

Daddy Liu was emotional, and his voice was a little louder, which woke up the sleeping children.

Liu Yan and Liu Wu were the first to come out, and Liu 1 also followed out of the door.

"What is cash flow?" Liu Yan rubbed his eyes, a strange word he had heard, and now someone urgently needed to answer it.

Liu 1 explained, "To put it simply, cash flow means that the canning factory sells the canned food to the seller, such as the supply and marketing cooperative, and the money cannot be recovered in a short period of time, so our canning factory has no money to repay the loan and no money to pay wages to the workers." There was a cash flow problem. ”

"Huh?!" Liu Yan's small facial features were twisted together, like a small bun, and he looked very anxious. "What then? Will the cannery not be able to keep it? ”

As soon as he heard that the cannery would not be able to keep it, Liu Wu also woke up, and looked at Liu 1 anxiously, "Brother! Canneries can't be allowed to go out of business! Mom and Dad will be distressed. ”

The words of the sons made Daddy Liu's heart warm, and he felt that the children were the most important, more important than anything.

Liu 1 pondered for a moment and gave his own solution.

"Mom and Dad, I know there is a way to solve our current problem."

When Daddy Liu heard Liu 1's words, his heart was full of hope, "Do you have a way?" What's the idea? ”

"There is a school that is willing to give me a very high scholarship to go to school. As long as I go to that school, I will be able to get this money, and our family's problems will be solved. ”

"Brother! Are you really good? You can make a lot of money at such a small age, I envy you so much! Liu Wu dragged Liu 1's arm and refused to let go, rubbing his chubby little face on Liu 1's arm to express his reverence.

Liu Shi also looked at Liu 1 with bright eyes, "Brother! What kind of school is it? Is there really a school that pays you money to go to school? ”

Liu 1 smiled and nodded, "Really." ”
