Chapter 6 Help the Fifth Sister

Chen Zi'ang had an afternoon meal at Fu's house. This meal was really delicious. She hadn't eaten enough for a long time.

Fu Haisheng gave 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, or my mother will scold me."

"I'm exhausted!"

"Have I touched it yet?" Fu Haisheng said that he was about to start, and Chen Ziang was frightened and hurriedly pushed the bowl to him.

Lin Shuiyin watched the interaction between the two children. She knew his son's thoughts, but the girl seemed to be very ignorant. Her son could usually eat half a bowl of rice.

In fact, she cooked a lot of rice, and there was still in the pot. Seeing her son's appearance, Lin Shuiyin laughed secretly.

After dinner, Fu Haisheng wanted to send 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. Yesterday, I was bad. I didn't tell you when I left. Look, if you think I'm wrong, I don't want the salary. You give it to me. 2 yuan to travel home is enough."

When the restaurant owner heard that Chen Ziang was quitting, he felt a little reluctant. This girl is very capable, she does all the hard work and hard work, and the salary is not high, only 8 yuan a month: "If you do a good job, why don't you do it? Woolen cloth?"

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

Chen Ziang thanked the restaurant owner from the bottom of his heart. In the past few years, he has been working in his home, eating and drinking, and giving him some money. Children as old as them are not wanted by others.

When the restaurant owner heard that Chen Ziang had something to do at home, not only did he not deduct Chen Ziang's money, but he also gave Chen Ziang two yuan more. Chen Ziang left the hotel with 10 yuan, and she didn't want to go home.

Parents have worked hard all their lives, raising their 8 brothers and sisters, and they have to worry about them when they are old.

They think that they have never been to school, so they will send their children to school. Although their family is not well-off and they don’t have much financial resources, they would rather save money from their rations to study for their children, hoping that the children will have a future. .

They also hold hope for Chen Ziang. Chen Ziang has studied well, and he will bring back a certificate of award 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 went home and said to his mother:

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

"Ang, if you know how many sisters you have, you are the youngest. We love you the most, but we treat you the most. Your brothers and sisters are all grown up.

We are also getting old, we can’t work anymore, we don’t have the 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 you were young, your parents didn't even eat or even wear clothes. You were just a fig leaf.

You said, if you don't study, do you want to be like your mother, facing the loess and turning your back to the sky all your life?We rural people, what is the way out if we don't study? "

Chen Zi'ang looked at his mother's gray hair and said nothing. Mom and Dad were great, although they were the products of family planning escape.

Mom and Dad's concepts are very conservative, but they gave them life and space to live. Although they were poor, they left them with tenacity, just like Xiaoqiang.

Originally, she thought she could go to university, but the reality is cruel. What's the use of her studying well?

Isn't it still famous when it comes to the official exam?

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

She doesn't want to study anymore. She has consumed a lot of money in the family for three years. If she asks the family for money again, she really can't open her mouth.

Although Sister Seven didn't say anything, every time she looked like it was about to rain on the eve of a rainstorm.

The others, except the third sister, seldom go, because everyone's family is not well-off, and they have to raise children.

She sat by the river outside the county town for an afternoon, and there was a good time here, playing and playing with her classmates.

I remember when Xia Yan went home with Xia Yan once, she said:

"Chen Zi'ang, don't worry, if I have Xia Yan, you will have one bite of food for you, Chen Zi'ang!"

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

It's ridiculous to think about it. Xia Yan was admitted to university, and she was nothing.

Chen Ziang found a BB machine number in his schoolbag.

This was left to her by the fifth sister: "Zi'ang, you have something to call the fifth sister. If you have no money, the fifth sister will send you money."

But Zi Ang never called the fifth sister once. The other sisters all had jobs and life was not easy. Besides, the fifth sister didn't read much, so it must have been difficult.

After the fifth sister eloped with the man, the fifth sister never went home. She hadn't seen the fifth sister for several years. Zi Ang also wanted to know if the fifth sister was doing well.

Zi Ang wanted to call the fifth sister to see if the fifth sister was doing well. If she did, she would go to the fifth sister and go to work in the provincial capital.

Zi Ang went to the post office and sent a page to the fifth sister. After waiting for 2 hours, Zi Ang fell asleep after waiting and the fifth sister called back.

The post office asked, "Who is Chen Ziang and who is Chen Ziang?" Ziang ran over with his schoolbag.

"Fifth sister, fifth sister, I'm Zi'ang!"

"Zi'ang, do you still remember Fifth Sister?"

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

"Fifth sister is well, 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? Then shall I come back to pick you up?"

"Both parents, fifth sister, you don't have to come back to pick me up, you can tell me the address and I'll go by myself."

"You haven't been out by yourself, do you dare to come?"

"It's okay, fifth sister, I've grown up."

"Okay then, when are you coming?"

"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 to study after earning money.

"Okay, you take the bus from the bus station to the west of the city, and I will pick you up at the west station of the city, but you will arrive tomorrow morning by car. Remember to call me when you can't find me."

Chen Zi'ang hung up the phone, and the post office asked her for a dollar: "Didn't you answer the phone? Do you need money to answer the phone?"

"You use other people's things for nothing? This is the state, and the state stipulates that it must be given." The post office said.

"That's not so expensive, is it? Auntie, you see that I really have no money. Can I give you 3 cents?" Zi Ang bargained.

"No, 5 hairs!"

"Fifty cents is fifty cents." Zi Ang looked for fifty cents in pain, and then quickly ran to the station.

Although there were many sisters, under the circumstances at that time, everyone's life was not very good, and they all took care of their own.Chen Ziang reluctantly thought of Fifth Sister.

　What will happen to Chen Ziang when he goes to the provincial capital?
