Love for a limited time

Chapter 168 All Efforts Are For Better

I comforted my mother first, and then brought out the soup that had been boiled in the kitchen for a long time. This was my mother's first meal after being discharged from the hospital, so it was naturally richer.

My mother was dazed for a long time when she saw that I cooked such a large table of dishes. I knew that she was thinking of my father again, but she just didn't want to make me sad.

"Mom, I'm sorry!"

My mother's hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly: "Xia Xia, don't mention the past anymore, with your father's blessing, everything will get better in the future!"

"I killed Dad!"

"What are you talking about? It's your father. I'm not lucky. I can't taste my daughter's handicrafts. Okay, let's eat quickly. The food is cold!" My mother wiped her tears and gave me food: "Someday you rest Alright, let's go see him together!"

Because I have asked for too much leave recently, it is not easy to take another vacation. Juanzi and I changed shifts, and I went to the cemetery with my mother on the morning of my birthday.

There is a bouquet of flowers in front of my dad's grave, obviously someone has been there. Last year, when my dad died, I also saw a bunch of yellow chrysanthemums like this. Who is it?

My mother was stunned when she saw the sacrifices in front of the tomb: "Who came here?"

I was afraid that my mother would suspect that it was Junxi and his family, so I quickly explained: "I don't know, maybe it was a friend of my father's life!"

My mother looked at my father's photo with an obviously uncomfortable expression, a little out of breath.

"Mom, you can cry if you want!" Seeing her endure so hard, I feel even more uncomfortable.

My mother finally couldn't help it, and sat on the ground and burst into tears. This was the first time I saw us cry so indulgently after my father left.

I hope that her tears will stop here, and I hope that all I will bring to my mother will be happiness in the future.

Soon the Mid-Autumn Festival came, and we also made mooncake gift boxes in our store. The boss gave each employee two catties of mooncakes and a cash reward of 100 yuan.

Mom secretly took moon cakes to see Dad while I was working overtime the next day, and didn't tell me, but, I know, my eyes were swollen after crying all night.

Although I don’t earn much, my mother and I are very frugal. We don’t need anything except the medicine that my mother needs to take, and we don’t need anything for daily expenses. Slowly, we paid back the two months’ basic salary owed to the boss.

The next thing I have to save is the promised rent to the landlord. I have the final say, my salary plus the year-end bonus, and the rest of the money can be saved for the New Year, and I can also buy a new dress for my mother.

It was the first snow in city A that day. During dinner, my mother suddenly said: "Xia Xia, see if mom can come to your store to do some chores or something. After the next year, you should find a repeat school and retake the university entrance exam! "

"Mom, the doctor said that you can't work too hard in the future, and the daily housework is enough for you!"

Before I finished speaking, Mom put down the chopsticks with a slap: "Mom is not dead yet, you want to raise me like a useless person, don't you?"

She should not get angry because of her illness, so I quickly explained: "It's not like this, listen to me!"

"What are you talking about, what are you doing about the housework? What housework do the two of us have to do? Xia Xia, Mom doesn't want to be your burden, and you don't want to be raised by you like a useless person!"

My mother has been arguing to go out to work for a long time, but I refuse every time. I think it's hard for her to lose her temper this time, so I can only comfort her first.

"I'll go to the store and ask, don't worry, I didn't say so, so you must not go!" I was a little scared when I saw that her breathing was not smooth when she got angry, so I quickly patted her on the back to help her breathe.

"Well, you can go and ask tomorrow, otherwise, I will find a job by myself, and it's not that there is no job to do. I saw that the newly opened hotel in front of me is recruiting cleaners!" My mother is determined to go to work this time .

The cleaning of the hotel is very tiring. I naturally dare not be sloppy when I hear her say this. At least I can take care of her in our bakery.

"Okay, I'll go and ask tomorrow!"

"Quickly ask, after the Chinese New Year, you will quit your job and take the college entrance examination, and you must take the college entrance examination again!" Mom's tone was very strong.

"Mom, I'm about to tell you about this. I plan to take the self-examination exam. Now the country recognizes the self-examination diploma. Moreover, I don't have to attend full-time classes. If I learn quickly, I can graduate in two years and apply for the exam. Graduate students of the academy!"

If I take the college entrance examination now, my four years of college life will be tightly tied to the school. I can't take care of my mother, and I can't make money. It is more convenient to take the self-examination.

I'll work hard. It shouldn't be a big problem to finish my undergraduate degree in two years. If I want to go to graduate school then, the pressure will not be so great.

"Take a self-examination?" My mother looked at me seriously.

"Well, self-examination, I asked about it today, and now there are special schools for adults, but I plan to study by myself!"

"Why haven't I heard you say that before!" My mother looked at me with a serious face, for fear that I did it on purpose so that I could not take the college entrance examination.

"It's my fault. I didn't tell you. I wanted to surprise my mother when I passed one of the exams!" I saw that my mother's face had improved, so I was relieved.

"Self-examination should be difficult!"

"Mom, you forgot, I used to be the best at taking exams, don't be afraid!" I regretted it as soon as I finished speaking, didn't I just make her sad by saying this!

I stopped there while picking up vegetables, carefully watching Mom's expression, and after a while I heard her say: "Ask me about my work first, let me think about the self-examination!"

I asked the store manager if the store was hiring recently. She said that the warehouse needs a package, but because the wages are low, many people are unwilling to do it.

I know what the store manager said. This job is really not tiring, but it is suitable for my mother. After I made an appointment with the store manager, she said that I can come and try it the next day.

I repeatedly told my mother that if you feel tired, you must tell me.

She was already used to working hard, and she was very good at doing things, and the store manager was also satisfied.

I found that her mood improved a lot after working, and she became energetic. It seems that it is right to let her come out to work.

She always lost her temper at me during that time, maybe she was bored at home alone.

Everything was on the right track, I persuaded my mother, she finally agreed for me to take the self-examination, and I went to the self-examination center to ask about the situation.

The subjects, time, and how to apply for the exam will not conflict.

I didn't apply for an English major again. After being in contact with the society for so long, I also discovered that learning English well has nothing to do with finding a good job.

I applied for the accounting major of the University of Finance and Economics, and I also consulted the teacher's opinion. This major is a bit difficult. He suggested that I can apply for the school's self-examination. He said that the teachers in the school are all teachers of the School of Finance and Economics, and there will be unified training before the exam. , the pass rate will be higher, but it also requires a lot of tuition fees.

If you major in accounting quickly, you can get a diploma in two years.

In order to save that tuition fee, I want to try self-study first, and if I can't pass it, I will enroll in the school class.

To get a certificate, I need to take 13 courses. If I want to finish the exam in two years, I have to take 4 courses in one semester, and some majors can’t take the exam whenever I want, and I can’t conflict.

I calculated the exam time, gritted my teeth, and worked hard!
