Momo no rain

Chapter 12 Going to Technical School

Momo followed Wang Cuiyu's arrangement and went to work at the Youyi Fast Food Restaurant. She left early and came back late every day, coming and going in a hurry.

Although it was hard to do odd jobs in a fast food restaurant, Momo felt that she felt much better working in a fast food restaurant than at home.At least she doesn't have to face Wang Cuiyu's bad face every day, nor does she have to look at Mo Fei's bad look every time he bullies her.

Mo Fu'an knew that Momo was still studying, so he borrowed a set of high school textbooks for her through a friend.No matter how late Momo gets off work every night, she has to study until twelve o'clock before going to bed.

For new high school knowledge, it is difficult to rely on self-study without teacher guidance.But Momo is not afraid. This child has had a character of refusing to admit defeat since he was a child.

I remember that when she was in first grade, she always couldn't pronounce the pinyin of "in" and "ing" correctly, and the pronunciation of the spelled words was also wrong.Whenever the teacher asked her to stand up and read the syllables with these two pinyin, the students always burst into laughter when they heard her pronunciation.Every time she was so embarrassed that her face turned red and her eyes filled with tears.Later, she practiced secretly and showed it to her good friends after class. On the way home, she kept mumbling, as if she was possessed.After three weeks of hard practice, she finally pronounced the two syllables "in" and "ing" correctly.Teachers and classmates stopped making fun of her.

Looking at the three piles of high school textbooks, Momo, who refused to admit defeat, began to make her own study plan.Since she works during the day and only has time to study at night, she divides her evening time into periods of time to study which subjects carefully and carefully.

For the knowledge points that needed to be memorized in English, Chinese, politics, biology, and other subjects, she wrote the content that needed to be memorized on small pieces of paper and put them in her pocket.Then, on her way to and from get off work and during breaks at work, she secretly recited some of them.

When she goes home at night, she mostly does some exercises in mathematics, physics and chemistry.When encountering content that she doesn't know, fortunately, Mo Fu'an secretly saved money to buy her a smart phone, so she looked it up on the phone.Overall, the beginning of learning is relatively smooth.

Half a month has passed in the busy schedule, and Kaixuan Technical School is about to start.Momo earned a salary of 900 yuan in half a month, and Wang Cuiyu was leaving, saying that she would save it for Momo and give it to her when she needed it.

Momo saw that Wang Cuiyu wanted to take away her half-month's hard-earned salary. She felt very uncomfortable, but she did not dare not to give it to Wang Cuiyu.To be honest, she has developed the habit of being submissive in front of Wang Cuiyu.She felt that only by obeying Wang Cuiyu could the family be peaceful.Otherwise, neither she nor her father will have a good life.

On the first day of school at Kaixuan Technical School in the city, Wang Cuiyu suddenly heard somewhere that there was a poverty alleviation technical school in the suburbs. Students who went there could be exempted from all tuition and miscellaneous fees as long as they had a "poor family" certificate issued by the community.However, the school has a rule that students cannot go home to rest during winter and summer vacations. The school will arrange for students to work in several factories in Zhejiang. The factories there provide food and accommodation, but no wages.Anyone with a brain can calculate that this is a joint business between the school and the factory in Zhejiang.If a student works for two months, the total salary for the two months is at least 7000 yuan, which is just enough to cover the student's tuition fee.

Wang Cuiyu didn't care about this, as long as she was not allowed to pay, it didn't matter what Momo did to her.

In fact, according to the document, Mo Fu'an's family does not meet the conditions of a family in need.

But in order to prevent Momo from paying tuition, Wang Cuiyu forced Mo Fuan to go to the community leader to complain.

The leader of the community is a reasonable person. He understood that Mo Fuan's family had some difficulties, and considering that this certificate was to send his children to school and not do anything illegal, he agreed to Mo Fuan's request.

Momo took the certificate issued to her by her father and signed up for the poverty alleviation technical school in the suburbs as Wang Cuiyu wished.

On the first day of school, Wang Cuiyu went to work in the supermarket early in the morning, and Mo Fei also went to school.Since Momo needs to live on campus, she brings a lot of things with her.In order to transport Momo conveniently and save some travel expenses, Mo Fu'an borrowed an electric tricycle with a bucket from an acquaintance.

Momo put her quilt, mat, change of clothes, washbasin, and a box of books into the back of the battery car. She also sat in the back with her schoolbag on her back and looked at her things.

Mo Fuan was riding an electric scooter in front, and Momo was sitting in the back compartment.Looking at the rapidly moving green trees and shops on both sides of the street, Momo suddenly felt a joyful feeling in her heart.I finally left the home where I had been depressed for more than ten years!The grievances and pain she suffered in the past will also become farther and farther away from her like these moving trees and shops!
From now on, when I get up every day, I don’t have to look at my mother’s long face, and I don’t have to look at Mo Fei’s bad way of teasing her!Momo raised her face and closed her eyes, taking a gentle breath and feeling that the air was sweet!She felt like a little bird out of its cage, free and happy.

An hour later, Mo Fuan sent Momo to school.There are six girls living in Momo's dormitory. Except Momo, who is a city kid, the other five girls are all from the countryside.

Mo Fuan settled Momo down and prepared to go back.When Momo was seeing her father off and approaching the school gate, Mo Fuan stopped, shook his head and took out a roll of 20-yuan paper notes from his jacket pocket.

"Momo, your mother said, I will give you 100 yuan for food a week. I will give you the money and wait for you to go home on Saturday before giving it to you next week. I originally wanted to give you a little more, but I I had to take three days off because of illness. My salary was not much, and more than 100 was deducted for asking for leave. Excluding my monthly medication for chronic diseases, there is nothing left." Mo Fuan said with a grimace, holding a bag in his hand. He handed the crumpled paper ticket to Momo.

100 yuan, Momo quickly made a calculation in her mind.That's twenty dollars a day. 20 yuan may be the price of a bowl of noodles in the eyes of other children, but for Momo, it is enough to cover her day's expenses, and she is already content.

Because Wang Cuiyu never gave her money.Only Mo Fuan occasionally secretly gave her two or five yuan of pocket money, which was probably more than ten yuan at most. That was only given to her when she needed to buy sanitary napkins during her period.

"Dad, it's okay. 100 yuan a week is enough for me. Don't worry, your daughter will never be hungry. Hee hee." Momo smiled and easily took the roll of paper tickets handed over by Mo Fuan.

"If you don't have enough money, just call dad. Then dad will find a way to give it to you, ah." Mo Fuan's words were full of warmth.

"Dad, I understand. Don't ride so fast when you go back to ride, be careful. Ah." Momo whispered to Mo Fuan.

"Yeah, I know. You go back and get along well with your classmates in the dormitory. It's not easy even when you're away from home. We have to help each other out. Over time, we'll become like sisters." Mo Fuan in turn asked Momo A few words.

"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely follow your instructions and get along well with them." Momo said to Mo Fuan with a smile.

"Okay, then, I'm leaving." Mo Fuan looked at Momo, his eyes were a little wet, he felt reluctant and had to leave.This was the first time Momo had left him in more than ten years, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

Momo saw the strange look on her father's face, and she understood that it was her father who was reluctant to leave her.Thinking of this, her nose became sore and tears welled up.However, she still tried to squeeze out a smile to comfort Mo Fuan, "Dad, don't worry, I will go home on Friday night. The five days will come in a blink of an eye. You can see me again then. It won't be uncomfortable, ah."
