Chen Ziang had lunch at Fu's house. The meal was so delicious that she hadn't had a full meal in a long time.

Fu Haisheng served her a bowl of steamed noodles, and later gave Chen Ziang the rice in his bowl.

"Zi'ang, I can't finish eating. Please help me, otherwise my mother will scold me."

"I'm so full!"

"Can I feel it?" Fu Haisheng said and was about to take action. Chen Zi'ang was so frightened that he quickly pushed Wan to him.

Lin Shuiyin watched the interaction between the two children. She knew what her son was thinking, but the girl seemed very confused. Her son could usually eat a bowl and a half of rice.

In fact, she had cooked a lot of rice, and there was still some in the pot. Looking at her son's look, Lin Shuiyin was secretly amused.

After dinner, Fu Haisheng wanted to take Chen Ziang back to the hotel, but Chen Ziang refused.

Back at the hotel, the boss asked her why she left without saying goodbye and wanted to deduct Chen Ziang's salary.

"Uncle, I'm going home. Today is the last time I come to work. It was my fault yesterday. I didn't tell you when I left. Look, if you think I'm wrong, I won't take the salary. You can give it to me.

Just 2 yuan for the fare home."

When the restaurant owner heard that Chen Zi'ang was quitting his job, he felt a little reluctant. This girl is very capable and does all the hard work, and the salary is not high, only 8 yuan a month: "You're doing a good job, so why don't you quit?"

Woolen cloth?"

"I have something going on at home. Yesterday, my teacher came to tell me to go home. I'm sorry, uncle! Thank you for taking me in during this period!"

Chen Ziang thanked the restaurant owner from the bottom of his heart. He had been working in his house for the past few years, and he had food and drink, and he also gave him some money. Children of their age were not given by other families.

When the hotel owner heard that something was going on at Chen Ziang's family, he not only did not deduct Chen Ziang's money, but also gave Chen Ziang two more yuan. Chen Ziang left the hotel with 10 yuan. She did not want to go home.

My parents have worked hard all their lives to raise their eight brothers and sisters, and they still have to worry about them when they grow old.

They think that they have never gone to school, so they send their children to school. Although their family conditions are not tolerant and they do not have much financial resources, they would rather save money from their rations to educate their children, hoping that their children will be successful in the future.

.

They also have hope for Chen Ziang. Chen Ziang studies well and will bring back certificates every time he goes back. So no matter how hard they work, they will not say that Chen Ziang will not go to school.

I remember one time Chen Ziang came home and said to his mother:

"Mom, I don't want to go to school anymore. Isn't my fifth sister working in the provincial capital? I want to work with my fifth sister."

"Ang, Mom knows that you are the youngest among the sisters. We love you the most, but we treat you the most badly. Your brothers and sisters are all older.

We are also old and can no longer work and have no ability. But Ang, no matter how hard it is, you are not as hard as your parents.

At least you still have food to eat and clothes to wear. When your parents were young, they didn't even have food to eat or clothes to wear. They were just a fig leaf.

You said, if you don't study, are you going to be like your mother, facing the loess and back to the sky all your life? What's the future for us rural people if we don't study?"

Chen Ziang looked at his mother's gray hair and said nothing. His parents were great, even though they were the products of family planning.

Mom and dad's ideas are very conservative, but they gave them life and space to survive. Although they were poor, they left them with tenacity, just like Xiaoqiang, who is immortal.

Originally she thought she could get into college, but the reality was cruel. What was the use of studying well?

By the time the official exam comes, won't I still be in a state of decline?

She doesn’t want to go home, what should she say when she goes back?

She didn't want to take tutoring anymore. She had already spent a lot of money at home in the past three years. If she asked her family for money again, she really couldn't open her mouth.

Although Sister-in-law Seven never said anything, her face looked as if it was about to rain heavily every time.

Except for the third sister, the rest rarely go there because their families are not well off and they have to raise children.

She sat by the river outside the county town all afternoon. There had been a wonderful time here, playing and having fun with her classmates.

I remember one time when I went home with Xia Yan, Xia Yan said:

"Chen Zi'ang, don't worry, I, Xia Yan, can eat just as much as you, Chen Zi'ang, can eat!"

"Xia Yan, don't worry, I will take care of your studies. As long as you study hard, I will ensure that you go to a good university. We will go to the same university!"

It's really ridiculous when you think about it. Xia Yan has been admitted to college, but she is nothing.

Chen Ziang found a BB phone number in his schoolbag.

This was what the fifth sister left for her: "Zi Ang, if you have something to do, you sent this page to the fifth sister. If you have no money, the fifth sister will send you some money."

But Zi Ang never called Fifth Sister once. The other sisters all had jobs, so life was not easy. Besides, Fifth Sister didn't read much, so it was definitely not easy for her.

After the fifth sister eloped with the man, the fifth sister has not returned home and has not seen the fifth sister for several years. Zi Ang also wants to know whether the fifth sister is doing well.

Zi Ang wanted to call Fifth Sister to see if Fifth Sister was doing well. If she was fine, she would join Fifth Sister and work in the provincial capital.

Zi Ang ran to the post office and sent a page to Fifth Sister. He waited for two hours until Zi Ang fell asleep while waiting and Fifth Sister called back.

The man at the post office asked: "Who's called Chen Zi'ang, who's called Chen Zi'ang." Zi'ang ran over with his schoolbag in his arms.

"Fifth sister, fifth sister, I am Zi Ang!"

"Zi Ang, do you still remember the fifth sister?"

"Why don't you remember? Fifth sister loves me the most when we are at home. Fifth sister, how are you?" Zi Ang cried on the phone.

"Fifth sister is fine, Zi'ang, don't cry. Do you have no money? Fifth sister will send it to you."

"Fifth sister, I don't want money, I want to see you."

"How are your parents? Can I come back to pick you up?"

"Mom and dad are fine. Fifth sister, you don't have to come back to pick me up. Just tell me the address and I'll go by myself."

"You've never been out alone, how dare you come here?"

"It's okay, Fifth Sister, I've grown up."

"Okay, when will you come?"

"Fifth sister, can I go find you today?" Chen Ziang couldn't wait to find a job. If she could find a job during the summer vacation, she could come back and repeat her studies after making money.

"Okay, you take the bus to Chengxi at the bus station, and I'll pick you up at Chengxi Station. But if you take the bus now, you won't arrive until tomorrow morning. Remember to send me a page when you can't find me."

Chen Ziang hung up the phone, and the post office man asked her for a dollar: "Don't you answer the phone? Does it cost more to answer the phone?"

"Are you using other people's things for nothing? This belongs to the state. It is stipulated by the state and must be given to you." The person at the post office said.

"It's not that expensive, right? Auntie, you see I really have no money, can I give you 3 cents?" Zi Ang bargained.

"No, 5 cents!"

"Fifty cents, just fifty cents." Zi Ang found the fifty cents in pain, and then ran quickly to the station.
Chapter completed!
