Reborn peasant female scholar

Chapter 3

Tang Mengwu searched all over the front and back of the house, and he almost went through a dog's hole, but he still couldn't find the key.

When she was running around in a hurry, a young man came towards her house, Tang Meng was startled, "Brother?" Her brother was pretty handsome when he was young.

Tang Lixin walked over carrying a gray canvas bag, "Xiaomeng, why don't you open the door?"

Tang Meng didn't dare to say that she didn't remember where the key was, "I just came back, I haven't had time yet, you... are you on vacation?"

Tang Lixin squatted down in front of the dog hole, reached in, and took out the key.The key is really in the dog hole!

Tang Lixin opened the door and said, "Why are you so confused, have you been playing crazy with your classmates these few days? I've already been on vacation, and I've been on duty for a week."

Tang Meng giggled sheepishly. Only then did she remember that her brother graduated from technical secondary school this year and was assigned to work in a small printing factory in the county.Her brother is three years older than her, and was admitted to the best technical secondary school in the province three years ago with the highest score in the school.

Because in the past, the competition in the junior high school entrance examination was not for the first-class high school, but for the technical secondary school and the normal school. Some girls would also apply for the health school, and they were all assigned jobs. .

Unexpectedly, the policy changed too quickly, and the system was restructured after two years. The technical secondary school, the normal school, and the medical school all did not include assignments. If you have good grades, you can only go to high school to realize your university dream.So in Tang Meng's class, being admitted to No. [-] Middle School in the city is the envy of everyone.

Tang dreamed that there was a big watermelon soaked in the bucket, so he took it out and cut it open. When he cut the knife, he heard a "bang", and the watermelon exploded.Tang Meng and Tang Lixin squatted under the shade of a big tree in front of the door and began to chew. This is a pure natural watermelon grown by their own family, which is very sweet.

Tang Meng felt a little emotional in her heart. All these years, she had been missing the time of living with her parents and brother, but she didn't expect it to be here.

She saw that Tang Lixin's face was not very good-looking, but she had noticed it since he came back.She probably knew the reason, because the printing factory was about to close down, layoffs had already been put on the agenda, and she didn't know how those departments in charge of allocating work were fooling things, knowing that the factory was going to close down, and assigning people there .

Tang Lixin held the watermelon and ate it, and suddenly said in the tone of someone who came here: "Xiaomeng, if you are admitted to the No. [-] Middle School in the city, you must study hard, and you will definitely find a good job if you are admitted to a key university in the future. I was ruined by the policy. , I shouldn’t have applied for any technical secondary school at the beginning, and I’m probably going to be laid off after only a week’s shift, and I haven’t received a penny of salary.”

Tang Mengmeng's brother was very disappointed and didn't know how to comfort him, "Does Mom and Dad know about this?"

Tang Lixin shook his head, "I don't know yet."

If the situation in Tang Meng's memory continues, Tang Lixin will be involved in the tide of going south a month later with the laid-off resettlement fund, and start working in the factory. Later, he made some money by doing business. As for the 30-year-old who is still on the poverty line, the family of three relies on their parents to support them.

In fact, Tang Meng thinks that it might be better for him to stay at home and start a business, but it is too early to say these things. After all, she is a 15-year-old girl now, and some of her words are too advanced and not true. I still wait for my parents to come back. Let's discuss it again.

It was almost noon after eating watermelon, and the siblings had to make lunch.Tang Meng was very familiar with the cooking process when she was a child. She first found a few potatoes and peeled them, then went to the small vegetable garden behind the house to pick some peppers and long beans, and then washed the vegetables.

The two brothers have divided their jobs since they were young. Tang Meng is in charge of washing vegetables and lighting the fire, while her brother is in charge of cooking. As long as the two of them are at home at the same time, the matching pattern is always the same and has never changed.

The two of them finished the meal, and my parents came back from the cotton field.

When Tang's mother heard Tang Lixin say that she would be laid off after only one week's shift, she burst into tears on the spot, "My son, these three years of study have been for nothing, and the three years of tuition have been for nothing? If I had known this earlier, Your dad and I must have let you go to high school. You used to be the top scorer in the school, but now you have become a laid-off worker. If the people in the village find out, they will laugh at you."

Tang's father also felt uncomfortable when he heard it, and replied angrily: "Everyone will know sooner or later, can we still hide such a big matter of being laid off?"

When Tang Lixin was admitted to technical secondary school, there was a banquet at home. They were very happy at the time, saying that their son would no longer be digging food in the fields like them, and he would be the one who would hold a steady job in the future.They walked out feeling particularly radiant on their faces, because Tang Lixin was the first person in the village who was able to serve an iron rice bowl.

Unexpectedly, the iron rice bowl would be broken one day, Tang's father and Tang's mother really couldn't accept it for a while.

Tang Meng's parents were so sad, and he couldn't stand it anymore, "Dad, Mom, don't be sad. From now on, no matter if you are a technical secondary school or a college student, there will be no division of labor. As long as you have the ability, you can find a job wherever you go."
