Fang Jia saw that the atmosphere was a little tense, and quickly changed the topic, "Do you know where the school is responsible for introducing jobs to work-study students?" After asking for a few seconds, Chen Xu wiped his feet dry, didn't raise his head, and said, "The work-study department of the student union should be responsible for this matter." As he spoke, he went out with the water for washing his feet. Li Yanan looked up at the clinical Fang Jia, "You want to work and study?" Fang Jia nodded a little embarrassedly. Li Yanan also said, "You can apply for student loans." Fang Jia scratched his head, "Hehe, it's quite troublesome to do." ”

When Chen Xu came back and lay on the bed to rest, Jin Yu suddenly spoke, "Sisters, let's talk about how much living expenses your family gives a month?" My mom and dad are so stingy, I'm going to slap them in the face with everyone's living expenses. Lin Zihan can't get used to Jin Yu's approach, Fang Jia just said that she wants to work and study, she has to show her living expenses, what kind of heart is An! So he said sarcastically: "We don't dare to say, how can we compare to your eldest lady, whose name is golden!" Jin Yu said to himself as if he didn't understand: "I've been fighting before school starts, my mother said at the beginning that she would give me 1,500 yuan a month, I made trouble several times, and my father interceded again, and only gave 2,000 yuan, I was really speechless." ”

Wang Yuqi sneered, "Hey, naked showing off your wealth." Li Yanan said sullenly: "I take out student loans." Lin Zihan snorted, "I refused to answer." Fang Jia and Chen Xu were silent. Jin Yu suddenly turned towards the wall, "It's boring." For a while, everyone was silent.

Chen Xu closed his eyes and calculated: The school food is not expensive, it is only ten months in a year, and he has 3,000 yuan enough for normal meals. Tuition, accommodation fees, books, medical insurance, about 7,000 yuan, daily necessities and necessary seasonal clothes, the first school year's fees are paid, and the remaining 50,000 yuan is more than 50,000 yuan. But Chen Xu was fed up with the days of having no money, and was ready to keep 10,000 yuan for the period of job hunting after graduation, so that there were more than 40,000 left, which was not too much according to his own spending method. Chen Xu doesn't want to be tired of going to work part-time, she wants to learn as much knowledge as possible in college, and those who can be admitted to this key university have good grades, and she can't take it lightly, otherwise she will be left behind by everyone. Chen Xu wants to find a part-time job on weekends, and he will be satisfied with an income of two or three hundred per month, and then find a suitable job during the winter and summer vacations.

Chen Xu had planned before entering the school, and he wanted to go to an inconspicuous place as much as possible for his part-time job, and he should be able to withdraw at any time, as before. If I have a break this Saturday, I will go out to find out and look for it, and I don't expect the school's work-study arrangement. On the one hand, the school arranges little money, and on the other hand, it is necessary to deal with the people of the student union and the Youth League Committee, and it is very important not to let people know that they are short of money. Although Chen Xu hates that others say that beauty is the original sin, it is undeniable that beauty is poor and easier to be bullied.

Chen Xu has been a nurse since junior high school, and during the winter vacation of the first year of junior high school, the homeroom teacher asked Chen Xu to help in the make-up class she opened, eating and living there. When the Spring Festival is approaching, the make-up class locks the door during the holiday. Chen Xu wanted to go home to live, but found that her grandmother had piled up waste products where she lived, and there was nowhere to put her feet. Chen Xu walked aimlessly on the street, she was cold and hungry, the street lights were turned off in the middle of the night, only the Beicheng County People's Hospital was brightly lit. Chen Xu walked in to warm up, many people in the hospital couldn't sleep at night, there were patients in the corridor, there were escorts, Chen Xu silently stopped near a heater by the stairs on the second floor, and leaned on it to keep warm. The room facing the stairs is a quilt storehouse. In the middle of the night, a young woman ran to the quilt warehouse and asked if Sister Li could find a nurse to take care of her mother as soon as possible, saying that she had a call from home, and the child had a fever and she had to rush back. Sister Li, who yawned for a long time, said: "Where can I go to find someone for you, it's so late, if you want to find someone, you have to say it in advance." The woman said anxiously to Sister Li, "Sister, can you help me take care of it for one night?" I give 30 bucks. The eldest sister shook her head, "I don't know when someone will come to get something to rent a bed, I don't have time!" Chen Xu listened to it next to him, and plucked up the courage to step forward, "Do you think I can do it?" The woman saw her carrying her bag and asked, "How old are you?" For the first time in his life, Chen Xu lied and lied that he was eighteen years old. The young woman asked uneasily, "What are you doing here?" Chen Xu had to lie in order to be hired, "My family is hospitalized on the third floor, and there are many people to care for, so I have no place to stay, so I will wander here for a while." The woman thought about it, but there was no way, so she said, "Come with me!" So Chen Xu was led to the ward, hospitalized by an old lady in her 60s who had a stroke, and the young woman briefly explained and said, "If she pees at night, you can help clean it up." The infusion is done tonight, if she wants to drink water, if she wants to eat, the thing is here. I'll be here tomorrow morning. He said and left in a hurry. The ward was full of people, and there were many people accompanying the other beds, but fortunately, there was a chair in front of the bed, Chen Xu could sit down and rest, and the room was very warm. Chen Xu didn't sleep all night, but she cheered up and looked at the patient seriously.

The next morning, after the young woman came, she paid Chen Xu 30 yuan very creditfully. Chen Xu suppressed his excitement and took the first money he earned as a nurse. When it was time to leave, the employer said, "I may not be here tonight, can you come again?" Where am I going to find you? Do you have a phone? Chen Xu shook his head and said, "If you want to find me, it's still the old place." ”

Chen Xu went out to buy two steamed buns, asked for a bowl of tofu brain at the breakfast stall, filled his stomach, grabbed the remaining more than 20 yuan in his hand, and felt more steady. This money is enough to live for a few days, I hope that there will be someone who needs a nurse tonight, and for the next week, that woman will find Chen Xu to be a nurse every night, and she will be paid the next morning. Chen Xu had nothing to do during the day, so he went to help Aunt Li, who was in charge of the quilt, to help her put the changed sheets into the washing machine and take the washed ones to dry. In order to get help, Chen Xu told Aunt Li about his life experience and real age, and the kind-hearted Aunt Li shed tears of sympathy. Since then, he has given Chen Xu a lot of help.

There is a small bed in the quilt warehouse, where Chen Xu sleeps or reads during the day when he is fine. On the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the patient's family also took the initiative to add money to 50 yuan, that is, from that time on, every holiday, Chen Xu would go to the hospital as a nurse to support himself.

The military training on Saturdays and Sundays was still the same, and Chen Xu had to put the matter of finding a part-time job back for a while. Fang Jia found a job through the work-study department, helping out in a school cafeteria at noon every day, as long as she was responsible for helping to wipe the table and empty the plates, because some students did not put the plates in the recycling area after eating, but left them on the table. The working hours are about more than an hour, and you can provide a free lunch and get paid six yuan at the same time. Chen Xu felt that six yuan for breakfast and dinner was enough, and ordinary people could work hard at noon and earn a day's food, but they couldn't do it themselves, and this job was not suitable.

Although she doesn't regard beauty as a burden, sometimes it does cause inconvenience, she feels that beauty is not the original sin, poverty is.
