Chapter 27: Change
Pan Minle didn't expect that tutoring and promotions, which she originally used to pass her time, would soon become her main source of income.
Perhaps, as one master once said, "Tribulation is the catalyst for maturity." Pan Minle can't forget the afternoon when the final exam ended.
It's raining outside, and the noise makes people can't help but raise their decibels. Pan Minle packed his things in the dormitory and prepared to go home. It took her phone to ring for a few moments before she noticed several missed calls. But it was her aunt calling. She basically had no contact with her aunt, and her heart was a little faintly uneasy, "Hey, Xiaomin?" on the other side of the phone was her aunt's hurried voice, "Yes, what's wrong with my aunt"
"Xiao Min, something happened to your family, you should come back quickly......" The aunt's words on the other end of the phone were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Pan Minle was stunned.
Hanging up the phone, she couldn't hear the sound of rain in her ears, it was her aunt's words, "Your father was deceived in business, he owed a lot of money, and now there is no one to see. Your mother is angry and sick when she is in a hurry."
Ignoring the torrential rain, Pan Minle took the train home that night. Along the way, her brow furrowed, and her eyes were full of worry and panic.
The moment she saw her mother, she really realized that things were stricter than she thought, Kang Mei looked a lot grayer, her face was pale, and when she saw Pan Minle, she also pretended to be strong and comforted her, "It's okay, mom is fine, it's going to be fine, I'll graduate soon, we'll be fine"
Tears from the corners of his eyes to his mouth, like the tide of a broken embankment, surging Pan Minle was uncontrollable. My aunt was also wiping tears from her eyes. Finally, she couldn't help but interject, "Sister-in-law and Xiaomin, don't worry, the house is gone, and me, you can settle down with me first" Kang Mei didn't want to bother, a few days later, she went through the discharge procedures, rented a house, and silently packed up her things.
On that night in the rental house, Pan Minle did not close her eyes all night, the house was unoccupied for a long time, and the musty smell in the hot and humid air made her breathless. She thought about it a lot, and the first thing that came to mind was her mother's life. For so many years, Dad was doing business outside the home, and Mom ran a small supermarket at home. The days are smooth and happy. All of a sudden, there was no house, no income, and my father was nowhere to go. What should she do with her mother?
Before dawn the next day, she quietly went out and took out all the money from her bank card last semester at a nearby ATM, left some emergency money, and gave the rest to her mother. She knew that her mother hadn't slept well all night, and that she had fallen asleep in a daze at dawn. After a brief tidying up, she hurriedly left a note. Reluctantly, he glanced at his mother, who was frowning in her sleep. Finally, I was afraid of waking her up, so I gently closed the door.
It didn't take long for her to receive a call from Kang Mei, and Pan Minle confidently told her not to worry about her. She bought a train ticket to City C at noon in a trance, and when she got the ticket, she found that it was early in the morning to take the noon train to City C. While waiting for the bus, she remembered that the agent who had introduced her to tutoring two days before leaving school had asked her if she had time to be a tutor during the summer vacation. Hurriedly dialed the phone and explained the reason, and the other end of the phone said regrettably, "Someone answered it two days ago, and I will contact you if I have any more words", Pan Minle watched the people around him come and go, and his heart sank little by little.
In the early hours of that morning, in the railway station hall of City C, she spread a few newspapers on the steps like those migrant workers waiting for the train. It wasn't cold in July, and she didn't care about the eyes of others when she sat there. I was only thinking about how to earn my tuition in less than two months.
As soon as it was dawn, she took the first bus to school. After a brief tidying up, I went to the print shop. She pasted dozens of printed tutoring information with double-sided tape, prepared them, and went out. Looking all the way along the community next to the school, Pan Minle was frustrated to find that the slightly better community would not let her enter. She panicked like a thief and quickly pasted it in the corridors of some resettlement communities without security guards. and left quickly, for fear of being discovered, let it be torn off.
One morning was finally finished, and Pan Minle held the two steamed buns he bought at the school gate in his hand and nibbled on it stiffly, which was considered lunch. Then I just kept staring at my phone. The phone didn't move at all, so by the afternoon of the next day, she couldn't sit still, and called the contact who had been promoted before. The next morning she went to the pedestrian street. Standing all day, 75 blocks.
Pan Minle was a little helpless and calculated the account in her heart, even if she worked for the remaining dozens of days, she would not be able to make up the tuition fees, not to mention that this kind of work is not available every day. She dragged her tired body and lay on the bed. But he couldn't close his eyes. Lying in a daze for a while, she heard the mobile phone ringing, she got up "Hey, hello" "Pan Minle, do you want to be a tutor" Pan Minle replied excitedly "Do you want to do it"
