Farmer's Struggle

Chapter 57 Illness
The more we talked and learned, Ju Ling realized that the gap between her and a classmate like Ran Yuqing was far greater than she thought.

Ran Yuqing and the others went to kindergarten and preschool, and they also learned calligraphy, recitation, singing, dancing and other talents outside of class.As for her, she knows nothing but reading.When she was in the countryside, she still had the advantage of being good at reading, but here, she didn't even have this advantage, because a versatile classmate like Ran Yuqing was better at reading than her.

Of course, not all of the more than 30 students in a class have the height of a student like Ran Yuqing. There are also a few students like Ju Ling who can't get better grades in the exams from the countryside, and they are basically boys. .

After understanding the basic situation of the students in the class, Ju Ling came to an interesting conclusion.

Half of the classmates in Banli County are only children, because one or both of the parents of these classmates are in the iron bowl, and the overbirth will lose their jobs, so it doesn’t matter whether the baby is a boy or a girl. In order to keep their jobs, they can only respond. The call only gives birth to one.The remaining half of the classmates who are not only children are basically older sisters, and basically no younger sisters or younger brothers. Generally, the first child in the family is not a son, and the next child is born. When the son is born, it stops. .

Not only are there few only-child students admitted from the countryside, but the ratio of male to female is seriously out of balance.There are more men than women, and those who can send girls to study are either very wealthy or are in the same situation as Ju Ling, who have no sons at home!
Ju Ling knew how lucky she was, and she didn't want to live up to this luck, so she didn't feel sorry for herself because of her poor foundation, and she didn't plan to give up on herself.Three years is not long, but it is not short. It is unrealistic to catch up with everyone, but she can still do it step by step without being left behind by others.

So, while other students were excited and busy getting familiar with the environment and getting to know classmates and friends, Ju Ling had already settled down to study.

She knew that she was not smart, and she had no other way to go except to work hard, so she was already mentally prepared to study hard by lighting a lamp and cooking oil just after school started.

After two days of staying up, she felt that she could persevere, but her second sister couldn't stand it anymore.

This evening when I returned to the rental house for self-study, the smell came out as soon as the door was opened, and I almost slapped Ju Ling a lot.

Unloading her schoolbag and throwing it on a chair, Ju Lingma slipped into the kitchen, "Sister, what are you doing at night?"

There is no need for Ju Jing to answer, the delicious food is already out of the pan, it is fish, stewed fish.

"Why is this, what kind of fish do you eat when you don't have a festival?" Ju Ling was a little confused.

In the past, the family would only stew a whole big fish to eat on festivals or other special days, so in Ju Ling's mind, fish can't be eaten casually, there must be some reason to eat it.

Ju Jing asked her to sit down, and while picking fish for her, she said: "You study until twelve o'clock every day, and you will definitely not be able to bear it all the time. I will make some delicious food for you. I heard that Fish is better than pork and chicken, so I will stew fish for you today and make soup for you tomorrow."

Ju Ling wanted to say no, she didn't feel tired, but before she could open her mouth, Ju Jing said again: "I have already agreed with the eldest sister, I will pay for the living and daily pocket money, and she will be responsible for the food. Yesterday I checked the card and found out She has already sent me the money, you can eat boldly, the money is enough to spend."

Mentioning Ju Min, Ju Ling suddenly thought of something.

"Second Sister, I haven't talked to Eldest Sister for a long time, when was the last time you spoke to her?" Ju Ling asked.

Ju Jing thought for a while and replied: "It's been a long time. Ordinarily it shouldn't be. She is very worried about you when you go to school. If she can't reach you, she should call me every now and then."

The Internet cafe has a phone, if Ju Min wants to contact Ju Jing, just call the Internet cafe directly, it is not troublesome.

The two sisters became worried at the same time.

"It's too late today, I'll call her barbershop tomorrow. Hurry up and eat fish, it won't taste good when it's cold," Ju Jing comforted.

The next day, when Ju Ling came home from her evening self-study, there was a pot of soup waiting for her. Instead of rushing to drink it, she asked about Ju Min's situation.

Ju Jing replied with a smile: "I chatted with the elder sister for a while today, and she is fine. She is fine, but she has been a little busy recently so she didn't contact me."

When talking, Ju Jing turned her body slightly, and Ju Ling could only see her side face clearly.

She knows her second sister so well, she can tell the tricks just by looking at her profile.

"Second sister, is something wrong? You can fool your parents, you can fool outsiders, but you can't fool me. I haven't noticed any time you lied since I was a child," Ju Ling said seriously.

It really is.

Ju Jing knew that she couldn't hide it, sighed and said the truth: "Today I called my eldest sister and her colleagues said that my eldest sister hadn't gone to work for two days, and they were also very worried. Tonight, colleagues who have a good relationship with my eldest sister will go to her Check where you live, and let me call tomorrow."

Ju Ling was also worried.

Ju Min was outside alone, she had no relatives and didn't know what friends she had made, and she didn't know whether the things she said on the phone were true or not. How well she lived outside depended on her mouth, and who knew what happened.

But there are mountains and seas, so what can I do to worry.

Ju Jing didn't want to tell her this because she couldn't help it, and Bai was worried that if she didn't say it, it would delay her study.

Ju Lingshu didn't read it that night and didn't sleep well, and he was listless in class the next day.Anyway, after staying up until the evening self-study, Ju Lingti was the first to rush out of the classroom with her schoolbag on, and ran all the way back to the rental house.

Ju Jing was at home and didn't prepare delicious food for her, so she bought some ready-made pastries for her to eat because she was afraid that she would be hungry.

"Have you got in touch? How is the eldest sister?" Ju Ling only cares about this.

Ju Jing pulled her to sit down and comforted her: "Don't worry, Eldest Sister is fine. A few days ago, Eldest Sister suddenly had a stomachache. The neighbor sent her to the hospital and found that it was acute appendicitis. When she lived, I happened to meet a neighbor, and the neighbor heard that we were in a hurry at home, so he said to help, and asked the elder sister to call me tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to report that I am safe."

Thanks to a good neighbor, if no one finds out, with Ju Min's silent and obsessive personality, maybe what kind of acute appendicitis will be boiled down.

"There is no one to accompany her when she is sick, and there is no one to accompany her when she is hospitalized. The eldest sister is too pitiful. It would be great if we were all by her side," Ju Ling said distressedly.

Ju Jing also felt distressed, but for the sake of life, goals and ideals, one has to bear some pain.

"I'll leave school early tomorrow, so I'll go to the Internet cafe to find you," Ju Ling suggested.

The work and rest time of the junior high school is the same as that of the high school. There are six days of classes from Monday to Saturday, and self-study until 08:30 from Sunday to the next Saturday night. Students can stay and study until ten o'clock before leaving. There is no evening self-study on Saturday night, and I can leave after school at 05:30.

Ju Jing looked at her sideways, and asked inquiringly, "Aside from being anxious to know the news about Eldest Sister, what purpose do you have?"

　Thank you for your support, thank you for voting, thank you for your collection, thank you, thank you.
