Chapter 39: Run Faster When You Get Home
In short, after the Chinese New Year, there are many fewer young adults in the village, and a few girls go out to work, most of these girls are only in their teens. Among them is Qiao Xinxin's eldest sister Qiao Meimei.
Qiao Meimei was just sixteen years old after the New Year, but she was just a virtual age.
Qiao Meimei is actually only in the second year of junior high school, and her academic performance is not good. It was hard to go to school, so she didn't want to go to school anymore. So I went to find a girl from the same village who was working outside and went out with her to look for a job.
Listen to Qiao Xinxin, that girl works as a waitress in a big city. I heard that the salary is 300 yuan a month! Much higher than the wages in their city.
Listening to Qiao Xinxin's envious tone, Qiao Jiarong hurriedly persuaded: "Sister Xinxin, don't look at other people's high salaries. Their work must be very hard, otherwise their bosses can pay them such a high salary? ”
"You're right, I've heard that they've been working for a long time. I've also heard that there are often people in their restaurant who get drunk and make trouble!" Speaking of this, Qiao Xinxin was a little worried.
A little nervous, he said to Qiao Jiarong: "Xiaorong, do you think my sister will also be a waiter!" What would she do if she ran into someone drunk! ”
"Don't think about it, your sister just went with them. I don't have to be a waiter, but I heard that there are many factories outside that recruit female workers. Qiao Jiarong comforted her and said.
"I hope so!"
What kind of job Qiao Meimei will look for, Qiao Jiarong doesn't know. But she thought that if she had time in the future, she could go over to see Sister Meimei.
The people who went out to work were all gone, and Qiao Jiarong and his students also started school.
Qiao Jiarong began to carry his schoolbag to school again, but the teacher changed their seats when school started. Now her classmate is no longer Qiao Erzhu, but a girl named Huang Haiyan.
This girl's personality is shy and timid. The voice was like a mosquito humming, if it weren't for Qiao Jiarong's excellent ear, he really couldn't hear what she was saying.
And she likes to cry very much, so the classmates in the class don't seem to like her very much.
Qiao Jiarong also doesn't like children who cry at every turn, but as long as the other party doesn't provoke her, she doesn't bother to pay attention to the other party.
The little girl named Huang Haiyan always had a cold face when she saw Qiao Jiarong. She also likes to play with the boys who bully her, so she doesn't like Qiao Jiarong.
She never talked to Qiao Jiarong, and she also drew 38 lines on the table, not allowing Qiao Jiarong to exceed the line on the table.
Of course, if Qiao Jiarong surpassed her, he wouldn't dare to say it. But she would push Qiao Jiarong with things, and if Qiao Jiarong ignored her, she would start crying.
She didn't cry like other children, who opened their mouths and cried. She cried very quietly, the kind that shed tears without a sound. makes people look so pitiful, at least in Qiao Jiarong's eyes.
Qiao Jiarong saw her pitiful appearance, and he didn't want to tease her anymore.
In short, after changing to a new classmate, Qiao Jiarong felt that his ears were much quieter. Unlike Qiao Erzhu before, he kept talking in her ear all day long.
Half a semester has passed, and the time has entered April.
On this day, Qiao Jiarong carried his schoolbag as usual and walked in the direction of home with a few good classmates.
A few people walked out of the school gate not far away, and they met a boy who ran over to Qiao Erzhu in a panic and said, "Erzhu, hurry up..." Hurry home and your dad has an accident. ”
Qiao Erzhu, who was originally walking with them, heard that his father had an accident, and hurriedly ran home.
Qiao Jiarong saw Qiao Erzhu running away, and she also ran to Qiao Erzhu's house together.
Qiao Erzhu's father, Qiao Jiarong knows. I heard that he went to work in a big city with the people in the village, and I don't know what happened?
Just in case, Qiao Jiarong took a bottle of tonic elixir from the space. Only this tonic elixir in her space is suitable for mortals, and she doesn't know if it will be useful to Qiao Erzhu's father?
It wasn't until Qiao Jiarong came to Qiao Erzhu's house that he learned that Qiao Erzhu's father fell from a height.
Not life-threatening, but broke a leg.
At that time, the head of the construction site left him alone after he was taken to the hospital, and the people in the village who went with him looked for the head. wanted him to pay for the medical expenses, but he didn't think that the person would not pay the medical expenses, and he also fired Qiao Erzhu's father, saying that he was not a worker at this construction site.
Most of the migrant workers in the village who went with Qiao Erzhu were illiterate. They didn't sign a contract with the construction site, so the matter was over.
Qiao Erzhu's father only had more than 500 yuan in wages paid by the foreman, and he spent all this money after two days in the hospital. In the end, it was the co-workers who scraped together the money to send him back.
Although Qiao Erzhu's father picked up a life, his leg was broken.
Now that the best time for treatment has been missed, it is unlikely that we will be able to return to the way we were before the injury.
However, this matter is not difficult for Qiao Jiarong. Qiao Erzhu's father's broken leg she checked with her divine sense, and the bones were not misplaced. The doctor's technique of bone grafting is very good, as long as he takes the tonic elixir, he can restore his leg to its original state.
It's just that how to let him eat the tonic elixir is a problem.
Seeing the sad appearance of Qiao Erzhu's family, Qiao Jiarong couldn't bear it.
She felt that it was not a way out for the people in the village to go out to work, because they often did not talk about accidents, and they could not earn too much money. Take Qiao Erzhu's father! After working hard for a few months, I didn't get the money, not to mention, and I fell and injured my leg.
If he doesn't take his tonic elixir, he will only be a cripple in the future. Not to mention going out to work, it's a good thing to be able to stop spending money on your legs.
Thinking of the vigorous medicinal herbs behind his house, Qiao Jiarong felt that their village could specialize in growing medicinal herbs and selling them. It must be better than the villagers who go out to work and earn more, and they can take care of their families.
Many people gathered at the door of Erzhu's house, and when they saw Erzhu's miserable appearance, many people began to work outside their relatives.
At this time, the clan elder came out. That is, Qiao Erzhu's father, he came out and drove away all the people who were around the door.
Thinking of the elixir in his pocket, Qiao Jiarong deliberately stepped forward to talk to the clan elder. But the clan elder was not in the mood at all now, he called Qiao Erzhu over, planning to let him send Qiao Jiarong home.
As soon as Qiao Jiarong heard it, if she left her hometown, how would she feed Erzhu's father medicine.
But with so many people around watching, Qiao Jiarong couldn't take out the elixir. If you think about it, let's go back first. However, she didn't let Qiao Erzhu send it, so how could someone send it.
Qiao Erzhu was worried about his father, and he was not in the mood to follow Qiao Jiarong.
If it was usual, he would have happily sent Qiao Jiarong home. He was happy to do it near and far.
Today, I heard Qiao Jiarong say that he didn't need to send it. Qiao Erzhu hurriedly said, "Qiao Jiarong, then you go home and be careful." Run fast when passing by the fourth grandfather's house, don't let Qiao Yan and the others see it. ”
"I know, you go back to accompany your dad!" Qiao Jiarong waved his hand at Qiao Erzhu and said.
Qiao Jiarong went home with his schoolbag on his back, and only walked out of Qiao Erzhu's house not far away, when he saw his grandfather Qiao Tieniu coming from a distance.
