Chapter 239: Their Choices
The big choices and small choices in life, whether you make a subjective decision or a passive decision, as long as you do it, you must bear the consequences.
Cai Juan overcame many difficulties to study, but her husband and three children in her hometown were her reluctant to care.
She is different from Bai Liu, she is from the commune, has no salary, and can only rely on the school's nineteen yuan and five living expenses subsidy.
At present, most workers must work for five years before they can go to school with pay, but Bai Liu is recommended by the textile factory and contributes to the textile factory, and Bai Liu can also provide drawings for the textile factory in the future, and her relationship with the textile factory is stronger, so the special office can continue to receive wages.
Cai Juan is a strong laborer in the family, and it is not good to rely on her husband to raise three children alone, and the most important thing is that the family has not been separated...... The school's nineteen yuan five, she has to send it back to her hometown.
The school's 19 yuan and 5 living allowance is not a random fixed amount, but a necessary living expense for each person based on the cost of each person's monthly meal ticket and living needs.
Cai Juan only left four yuan and sent back a full fifteen yuan...... She simply didn't have any leeway.
"I eat a lot, I won't tell you, nineteen yuan and five are not enough for my monthly living expenses, and Cai Juan can eat it even if she has a lot of strength." Xie Xueyan was quiet in the dead of night on the way home, and there were no acquaintances on the road, so she spoke more openly, "I haven't done farm work, but Sister Cai said that she can get ten points, and people with great strength must eat a lot ......."
White willow side-eyed, ten points?
What is that concept, the full work score of women in the Xiangyang Brigade is eight points, and only a few women can occasionally get nine or ten points.
For example, Tian Yu, ten percent of capable people, the next women's captain in Yang Guiying's mind.
And she can only get four points of work when she is tired and tired, but she hardly works hard for her work.
It's still important to save her life, and she really can't do physical work.
Cai Juan can be the women's captain, and she really has put in hard work and hard work. In other words, she gave up her past efforts and was willing to go to the capital to study, and made more efforts to do so.
Compared with physical exertion, leaving her husband and children to study is even more psychologically tormenting.
Being able to be a women's captain has already won over many women of the same era.
"You're right, you can't ignore yourself in the slightest." She sighed, "If your health has become bad in three years, then I don't know if the effort I have made today is right or wrong." ”
Whether it is for the sake of the family or the society, it is even more tragic to work hard but not be able to "dedicate" due to physical reasons.
She thought Cai Juan shouldn't be so confused.
Xie Xueyan was full of emotion, and then said with a big grin: "There will always be more worries when I get married, I sometimes think that although I am not married, many people say some rumors, but I seem to have avoided a lot of trouble." ”
"When you are a wife, there will always be a lot of worries, from the daily life to the growth of children...... There is also a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, I can't stand this. ”
The word "scared" was written all over her face.
Bai Liu can't say that she is not a little worried, but fortunately, she doesn't have to worry about the relationship between her in-laws.
Song Jiaying's relationship with the Song family is mediocre, and they are thousands of miles apart, so she doesn't need to listen to her mother-in-law's lessons and care.
And she and Song Jiaying have their own careers, and Song Jiaying encourages her to pursue her dreams, and Jelly Bean is already sensible...... She's lucky.
Of course, all the luck now is also her previous efforts and choices.
A peck and a drink, it is not predetermined.
Both sighed, after all, the two of them didn't need to worry about their livelihood at the moment.
Reading has always required money as a foundation, and it is difficult to produce a noble son from a poor family. There is still a state subsidy to go to university, so Cai Juan and many workers and peasants can come here.
In this world, there has never been absolute fairness, and it is admirable to be able to break through many difficulties and move up.
"After a long time, Sister Cai should also think of new methods, maybe there are some work-study positions in our school?" As soon as Bai Liu turned his head, he happened to pass by the school cafeteria, and a flash of inspiration appeared.
Song Jiaying also said that when he was in college in the early 60s, the school also had subsidies, and some students with special difficulties would find ways to exchange for living expenses by paying labor.
On campus, it's often easier.
Xie Xueyan suddenly understood, but was a little hesitant: "Cai Juan studies very hard, and may not have so much time." ”
Cai Juan's foundation is relatively poor, even worse than her, it just so happens that both of them are studying in the Department of Education, and they are anxious about textbooks just after school, where are there so many working hours.
Bai Liu didn't know what to say.
If nutrition can't keep up, it will also affect learning and mentality, and everyone's ability to cope with stress is also different.
Some people have a high threshold, while others can't move an inch.
Neither she nor Xie Xueyan said anything to help Cai Juan, they are both adults, with their own scruples and pride, and neither of them dares to say that they can afford another person's life.
Taking a step back, it is not difficult to help people, but it also depends on how the other person actually views them.
When they returned to the dormitory, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening, and the dormitory building was about to close at half past nine, and most of the students would rush back before the dormitory.
The school theoretically enforces that students must live on campus, but there are always people who don't want to comply, such as Rong Xinyue, who and Ye Xiaolin occasionally live off-campus.
Ordinary students don't hold on to this little thing.
The adult world knows about trade-offs and forbearance, not to mention that most people have chosen to protect themselves in recent years, and they won't say a word more.
But as soon as Bai Liu walked to the door of the dormitory today, Xie Xueyan just took out the key when she heard Ye Xiaolin's voice coming from inside.
"Isn't it dangerous for Bai Liu to come back so late every day, isn't that good......"
I care about my classmates.
Although he cares about people, Bai Liu smacked a bit of unusual taste.
Why did Ye Xiaolin have so much malice towards her?
Are you worried that she will get the benefits of Rong Xinyue?
No, it's a competition for favor.
Bai Liu felt a strange feeling in his heart, it's amazing, can the dormitory still stage a palace fight?
"Shall we go out and find the white willow?" Rong Xinyue asked.
Cai Juan hesitated slightly: "It shouldn't be necessary, Xue Yan and Bai Liu went out together today, and they have company." The white willow will always come back around nine o'clock, and wait. ”
"Is that okay?" Ye Xiaolin continued, "I often walk by the river, where are my shoes not wet, should we report to the school, otherwise Bailiu will be in trouble after the accident-"
"Click", the door opened.
Bai Liu happened to hear his name, and looked at Ye Xiaolin with a smile: "How am I?" ”
The innocent expression was just right, making Ye Xiaolin feel like she was punching the cotton, and she was speechless for an instant.
"Xiaolin is staying in the dormitory today, I don't worry about seeing that you are coming back late." Li Yuhua smiled and came out to play the round.
The others didn't speak, clearly not wanting to escalate the matter.
Bai Liu thought about it, why did she bother with Ye Xiaolin.
Just as she was carrying the basin to wash, Ye Xiaolin suddenly snorted coldly.
