17. Get on the road

Everyone got into the car, Yingzi, Erniu, and Xiaobao had already sat in the back, and Zhang Yu could only sit in the co-pilot in front.

The car started and drove slowly on the village road, and Zhang Yu saw the village chief waving at them through the rearview mirror on the right, while Yingzi's mother wiped her tears from her eyes.

Zhang Yu looked back at Yingzi, and she also looked sad.

Zhang Yu said in a relaxed voice: "Yingzi, don't worry, when we get to the city, we will definitely break out a way to live, and when the time comes, you will go back to see your parents in a beautiful manner, so that the people in the village will envy you."

Zhao Chunhua also agreed: "That's right! Later, when you think of this day, you will be glad that you made the choice you made today. ”

"Big girl, I'm afraid I'm going to drag you down."

"You won't drag me down, maybe you'll help me a lot!"

"Big girl, are you really going to go to the city to steam steamed buns and sell them?"

"I have this idea, but it depends on the situation."

"Oh! By the way, Brother Chunhua, is there a steamed bun seller at the entrance of your hospital? ”

"Yes! One has been selling for years. ”

"Is there only one family to sell?"

"Yes, it's just their family, the business is very good, and it will be sold out in one morning."

"Your hospital is so big, there should be a lot of people coming and going at the entrance of the hospital, only one family sells steamed buns, no matter how much we have, it shouldn't be too much."

Zhao Chunhua glanced at Zhang Yu in surprise: "Do you really plan to sell steamed buns?"

Zhang Yu asked rhetorically: "Can't you?"

"My grandfather asked my dad to help you find a job as a temporary worker in the hospital's logistics department."

"Cleaning or laundry?"

In the book, Zhang Daniu is washing sheets in the hospital.

"You have three options, cleaning, washing the sheets, and helping out in the back kitchen. The salary is all the same, twenty dollars a month. ”

"How much does it cost you rent for me a month?"

"Fifteen bucks."

"So, my income as a temporary worker, after paying the rent, is only five yuan, and our three sisters and brothers, five yuan a month, can we live?"

Zhao Chunhua said with a smile: "Of course, five yuan can't support the three of you, but isn't there still us!" Since my grandfather promised your grandfather that he would help take care of the three of you siblings, he would not let the three of you go hungry. ”

"I appreciate your kindness, I'm sixteen years old, and I'm able to take care of my younger siblings."

"So, you don't go to the hospital to work as a temporary worker, you have to steam steamed buns and sell them yourself? Rely on this to feed your younger siblings? ”

"Can't you?"

"Okay, of course, as far as I know, the old grandson at the gate of our hospital has parents and three children, a family of seven, and he relies on selling steamed buns to support the family's life, and they are also living well, you are different from them, their house is their own family, and they don't need to rent it."

"So, you approve of me doing this?"

"Self-reliance, starting your own business, it's a good thing! Why is it not supported? But steamed steamed buns are very hard to sell. ”

"Is there a business in this world that can easily make money without hard work?"

"I don't think so."

"That's amazing!"

After a pause, Zhang Yu said: "You just said that you supported me, how do you plan to support me?"

"How do you need support?"

"First, if Grandpa Zhao disagrees, you are responsible for helping to persuade him."

"And the second, third, fourth?"

"Second, tell me, where do you buy flour? There is also a stove for steaming steamed buns, coal. Third: Is there a thrift market in Nanshi, I want to go there to buy something. ”

"Big girl, you really surprised me, you even know the thrift market, you are like this, you said that you have never been to the provincial capital, I don't believe it."

"I'm not going to live in the city! Because I was curious about what was in the city, I made a special inquiry, and they said that there was a thrift market in the city. Sell things that are old but still useful. ”

"Seeing that you have done such a good job of preparation, I can't do it without supporting you. I have surgery tomorrow, the day after tomorrow! I'll take you to buy everything you need. ”

"Thank you, Brother Chunhua."

"Oh! By the way, just now in the village, I heard that something seemed to have happened in your house last night. ”

Zhang Yu didn't want to mention the incident last night in front of Zhao Chunhua, so he said perfunctorily: "It's nothing, there is a thief in the house, and the little things are over."

Xiaobao couldn't help but say: "What a trivial matter, I don't think it's small!" You beat people to the point that they vomited blood, and your arms were broken. ”

Zhao Chunhua looked at Zhang Yu in surprise: "You are so fierce?" You can't see it, you won't practice, will you? ”

Zhang Yu explained: "Where do I go to practice? But by mistake, you don't know, last night, the thief touched my room blindly, and in order to survive, I picked up the stick and beat him desperately, until he was beaten down. ”

"Big girl, you look a bit like a friend I met before."

Zhang Yu was curious: "Oh! How much is it like? Where is it like? Nose, mouth or eyes? ”

"I'm not talking about looks, I'm talking about personality."

"Character? How much do you know about me? It's just that I've seen two sides. ”

Zhao Chunhua drove the car, smiled, and did not defend again.

The car drove for more than an hour and came to a mountain road.

Xiaobao shouted for convenience, and Zhao Chunhua parked the car on the side of the road.

Xiaobao is a child's house, and the internal emergency is solved on the side of the road.

"Do you drink water? There is a stream of clear spring water here that you can drink. ”

Zhao Chunhua said, took a kettle from the car, and went to a small stream on the side of the road to get water.

Zhang Yu accompanied Yingzi to the depths of the dense forest.

Yingzi said in an envious tone: "Big girl, your grandfather chose a good uncle for you."

"What! I'm a college student, I'm an orthopedic surgeon, and I'm worthy of someone. ”

"So you're in luck! The family has set such a good family business for you. ”

"People have good matches."

"How do you know? Did he say it himself? ”

"I guess, with his conditions, there must be many people who like him."

"But I think he can talk to you quite well."

"That doesn't mean he likes me. A cultivated person gets along with others and will take care of other people's feelings, so whoever is with him has no pressure, they can talk about it, and he is filial, maybe he does it just to fulfill his responsibilities for his grandfather. ”

"If that's the case, he's so good, you shouldn't give up, miss him, you'll regret it for the rest of your life."

"My task is to raise my younger siblings, and the rest, don't think about it for the time being, because it's unrealistic, don't bother yourself."

Yingzi didn't believe it: "You are duplicitous, if you are not for the baby, how can you take your younger brothers and sisters to the city?" After all, it is much more difficult to live in a strange place than in a village. ”
