Harmonious home

Chapter 24 When the Bad News Comes
The weather in Guangdong is always so beautiful, almost every day is sunny and rarely rainy.

One day, I was walking on the street, and a girl came up and handed me a leaflet. I took it and saw that it was a computer training class. I thought I was not well educated, but A\B\ C still recognizes that if I learn how to use computers to be a clerk, I won’t have to work overtime in the workshop every day. This can also shorten my time and increase my income. Why not do it!Thinking of this, I walked towards the store in front of the girl's appointment. At a corner, I saw the public telephone booth next to me, and suddenly remembered that I hadn't called my family for a long time, so I walked in unconsciously. I called my mother-in-law and my husband’s sister one by one. After learning about the children, I then called my aunt, hoping to learn from her about the situation of my father, mother, and younger siblings.But as soon as I got through the phone call, my aunt told me that my grandma had passed away. I felt a little sad that I couldn't see her off for the last time, but I also thought that my grandma was old after all, and it was a blessing to be able to pass away smoothly.

Later, I was disappointed when I found out whether my father and mother had attended the funeral.Just as I was about to hang up the phone, it suddenly occurred to me that my sister Xiaoli was supposed to take the college entrance examination, so I asked casually if my sister had passed the college entrance examination. My aunt hesitated at first and didn’t want to tell me. After I kept asking, my aunt said: "Your second sister, Xiaoli, has been admitted to the University of Science and Technology, but...just..." "Just what?" I asked eagerly.My aunt hesitated and said, "I don't know if I should tell you." "Just tell me if you have anything to say, is it because my second sister has no money to pay tuition for college or...?" Before I could finish my sentence, my aunt said : "Your second sister is missing." "Ah! Missing! Why did she disappear? How could such a big living person disappear? Could it be a mistake?" I was so anxious that tears almost fell down.Urgently asked: "Where did she disappear? At school or..." "Not at school, the school teacher said that she was driving to your father to get the money and disappeared." "Go to my father to get the money, no way! Isn't it My dad didn't give me the money and she didn't go back to school?" "I don't know, we called the school, and the school said they also sent people out to look for it, but they couldn't find it. We called your dad and your mom, and they didn't find it." Contact me, I don’t know what’s going on?” I asked anxiously, “How long? Why didn’t you call me?” My aunt sobbed and said, “Yes. The phone said you resigned and transferred to another factory. I don't have your contact number." I said "um" and asked casually, "How long has it been? Have you reported to the police?" "It's been about two or three months, and I have reported to the police, but they said there was no result." I gave a helpless "Oh", and my aunt continued: "Hey, Xiaolan, do you know where your parents live? If you find them, you should be able to find your second sister. The school said she was going to find your father when she left." I don’t know if your father didn’t give her the money for the tuition fee, or she didn’t have the money to give her, so she couldn’t leave. Alas, your parents are too incompetent, they don’t know how to care about children, they only know how to give birth. I don't care about anything at the age of throwing it at my house. Now that I finally got into college and I expect him to help me pay some tuition fees, I really don't know how they are parents. I can go back and read after I said it..." Hearing this, I was so anxious that I wished to fly to my father and ask him to understand, "If killing one is not enough, do you want to kill two?" I think I was not allowed to finish reading when I was admitted to middle school. Forget it, now that the second sister is admitted to university, why is she repeating the same old tricks?Even if patriarchal thinking is serious, you can't play with your daughter's future again and again? !Now look at me today without a diploma. To go to that factory, I have to go to the workshop to work overtime and do coolies. They only know how to give birth and don’t know how to raise them, and they don’t even take on the most basic responsibilities?” This is too outrageous, who can expect filial piety from such parents in the future?It's unreasonable.Thinking of this, I didn't have the time to think about it. I threw down the flyer for learning computers in my hand, and rushed to the factory to resign. I felt that I could not turn a blind eye, let alone listen to it. I have the responsibility to support this family. After all, I am a member of the family The eldest daughter is also their older sister.

Back in my hometown, I briefly visited Dabao at my sister's place, and took my daughter, Xiaoyue, for a long drive to the city where my parents lived.Fortunately, after asking around, I found the house they rented.

Several small houses are suspended on the hillside. Except for the small courtyard and simple kitchen outside, there are two houses with three beds inside. When I took my daughter to look for it, my mother was alone at home. She saw I was not surprised when I arrived. On the contrary, I saw a bit of worry on her face, and I asked urgently: "Mom, is the second sister here?" Come here." "She needs to pay for the college entrance examination, why don't you pay?" I questioned desperately.My mother sighed helplessly, shook her head and said, "Then what can I do? Your father has been unlucky for the past few years. The construction site and the factory are running short and have no money, not to mention, and now even life is a problem. What can I do for you? A few days ago The little girl that you and your father adopted in [-] is not going to be sent back. The expenses of the family are greater than the income. Your younger brother and younger sister are already old enough to go to school, but they can’t even go to school without fines. Now they can only Follow your second sister to learn some culture, go out to pick up scrap iron every day to make a living, how can I have money for her to go to college..." He touched his tears.Hearing what she said, I looked around and looked at the shabby room, the dilapidated stove and the small square table for eating. There were a few rabbits and chickens kept in the iron cage next to the toilet. I can imagine that they Ordinary life is so simple and difficult. Seeing all this in front of me, I feel as if I have knocked over the five-flavored bottle.Unexpectedly, Yang Wuyangwei's father, who was the boss in the past, would end up in such a turn, what a family misfortune...

Just as I was thinking about it, Xiaoyue ran up to me "peddling", pointed to the three people who were going up and down the Banpo, and said, "Mom, grandma, someone is coming outside." I looked in the direction of her little finger, it was Second Sister, Younger Brother, and Younger Sister, all three of them came back in tattered clothes and straps on their backs.I hurried out to meet them, feeling unspeakably excited and sad. I was excited because my second sister, Xiaoli, was not lost, and sad because I felt that my eldest sister was too incompetent. I can't care less about my younger siblings anymore, and now I see them all smeared and dirty like beggars on the street, and I feel an indescribable sadness in my heart!What's even more depressing is that when Xiaoyue saw them enter the room, they were all in black and quickly hid behind me. I quickly hugged her in my arms and pointed to my younger brothers and sisters one by one to introduce to her: "This one is called uncle, this one is called aunt, and this one is called two. Aunt, remember?" Xiaoyue nodded, called "uncle, aunt and second aunt" one by one, and ran away with a happy smile.

After I learned about the process of my second sister not finishing college, I felt very sorry for her. I felt very sad when I saw that my younger brothers and sisters were unable to register and even study because they did not pay the fine for family planning. I was sad, thinking, if only I had enough money, so that my younger brothers and sisters could go back to their hometown to go to school normally, but I am too incompetent and have no extra money to help them.At the same time, I quickly thought that my eldest son is almost five years old. If I can't raise enough money to pay the fine, I'm afraid the result will be the same as theirs. The facts tell me urgently that I can't stay here for long, and I have to work hard quickly. I need to make money to change everything, otherwise, the home I just built may not last a few days.

The evening breeze blows gently, making people feel more cool in the hot summer.After a while, my father came back from work. When he saw me, he didn’t feel any guilt at all and said that he failed to pay the tuition for his second sister. He just talked lightly about his current predicament and some issues that I was not interested in. Because we, father and son, had different views. We had a big fight, and early the next morning, I left there with my younger brother and my second sister. On the way, I followed my second sister to the university school to pick up her suitcase.

After returning to my hometown, I hurried to the town police station to declare, explaining that my second sister had a series of problems when she moved out to study, and then went back to the village to issue a certificate. went back.Later, in order to solve the family crisis as soon as possible, I temporarily decided to take my second sister, younger brother, Dabao and Xiaoyue to Guangdong together.I thought I could give my children a healthy and harmonious home like other parents after running around like this for a few years, but the imagination is very beautiful, but the reality is very backbone...
