Farmer's Struggle

Chapter 40
After learning that it is best for children to go to junior high school with parents to accompany them, Ju Wenqi and his wife became entangled again.

Accompanying reading is impossible, after all, it is impossible to let go of the stall at home, so how can Ju Ling study?
Really let her live alone in a rented house?That's impossible, absolutely impossible, too unsafe.

After watching the two of them struggle for a few days, Ju Ling couldn't bear to watch them anymore, so he took the initiative to say to them: "If you don't pass the exam, you won't say anything, isn't it too early for you to start worrying about what will happen? How about? There are still several months before the exam, and it’s not too late to think about it after the exam is over and the results are out.”

Ju Wenqi disagreed very much. He frowned while smoking a cigarette and said, "It's not a trivial matter for you to go to school. Don't you and your mother worry about it? If we don't worry about it, you must not even try that." Go to the exam, just like your two sisters, your ideas are bigger than the sky."

When it comes to the eldest girl and the second girl, Ju Wenqi and Zhang Yongmei sighed at the same time, making Zhang Yongli, who was eating melon seeds beside her, laugh.

Zhang Yongli smiled and said: "Big brother-in-law, Minmin and Jingjing are fine outside, you are just worrying."

"Oh, how can you not worry about it?" Zhang Yongmei said helplessly: "No matter how good they are, no matter how old they are, they are still children in the eyes of me and your brother-in-law. One walks farther than the other, and they all say that they are very good. We don’t know how good it is, so we can’t worry about it.”

"By the way, my elder sister said that she sent photos home, and I guess she will arrive in a few days, so you can take a good look at my elder sister." Ju Ling quickly changed the subject, fearing that the more they talked, the more uncomfortable they would be.

But she didn't want to change the topic at all, so Zhang Yongmei's eyes turned red.

"This dead girl doesn't come back for the New Year. How can she spend the New Year outside alone? She thought that after sending a few photos, the family would not miss her. Why is her heart so big?" Zhang Yongmei said with tears.

A few days ago, Ju Min called and said that he would not go home for the New Year. Both Zhang Yongmei and Ju Wenqi disagreed, but they didn't agree.

They also knew that the eldest girl didn't plan to come back because she thought the round trip fare was too expensive. They themselves felt sorry for the expensive fare, but they loved the lonely girl during the big festival even more.

Ju Min also knew that her parents would be very sad if she didn't go home for the New Year, so she made a special promise on the phone: "Mom and Dad, I will save more money, and I will honor you when I go home, and strive to spend every year with you in the future."

The more she said that, the more the couple felt sorry for her.Ju Wenqi and his wife sometimes hope that their children will not be so sensible, even if they cry and fight with their parents like other children.

After talking about the eldest girl, Zhang Yongmei brought the topic to the second girl again.

"The second child is wilder than the eldest, and Binjiang City is not far from home, so I have to come back sooner. Nian Gen'er has to come back again, so she can learn how busy she can be. Her school doesn't have holidays during the younger years! "Zhang Yongmei said uncomfortable and distressed.

After talking about the second child, I really couldn't hold back my tears. I probably felt ashamed and turned around to wipe it away secretly.

Ju Ling didn't know how to comfort her. In order to make her parents happy, she could only turn the fire on herself.

"Mom and Dad, I will definitely study hard and strive to be admitted to the junior high school of No. [-] Middle School. I have to be in the top [-]. Even if I don't go to the junior high school, I can go to the second or third middle school." Ju Lingyong was the most calm said in a tone.

Zhang Yongmei sniffed and smiled at her: "We are the most obedient when we are young. I will make more sticky dumplings tonight, and I will steam a plate for you tomorrow morning, and then bake two sticky spoons. Is there anything else you want to eat? I'll prepare it for you in advance."

Ju Ling felt heartburn before eating this.

She doesn't like to eat sticky dumplings and sticky fire spoons at all, but Ju Min and Ju Jing like to eat them.When they were young, they were greedy for these foods in the winter, and it was rare for the two older sisters to let her eat, so she ate more than the two older sisters every time.Probably because I was hurt by eating at that time, now not only do I not think about these foods, but I also feel heartburn after eating, and I feel weak.

"Mom, I want to eat bean buns, why don't we eat bean buns tomorrow morning," Ju Ling suggested.

How can Zhang Yongmei refuse to obey, even if she goes to the shed to see how many bean buns are still frozen at home, if not enough, she will pack more tonight.

As the New Year approaches, the family gets busier.

This year Zhang Yongli will celebrate the New Year at home, so she can't deal with it casually like in previous years, she has to prepare everything that needs to be prepared.

The tofu made by Zhang Yongmei at home, frozen tofu and tofu puffs can be less. In addition, all kinds of rapeseed such as meatballs and shrimp slices must be made in advance. Steamed buns and bean buns are steamed in seven or eight pots. After steaming, put them outside to freeze thoroughly before stocking It takes a long time to eat it in the big tank of the shed.

Someone in the village butchered pigs, and Ju Wenqi bought some homemade blood sausage and pork.

On the day Ju Jing came back, Zhang Yongmei babbled and complained that Ju Jing Xinye was 28 years old before returning home but stewed blood sausage and sauerkraut pork together, and it was delicious to eat with bean buns.The fist-sized bean bun Ju Ling ate four in one go, if she was not afraid of supporting herself, she thought she could eat four more!
Ju Jing also bought a lot of things for the family.Crazy Grandma wore a thick cotton vest that was resistant to dirt, Ju Wenqi and his wife each had a pair of non-slip cotton shoes, underwear for Ju Ling, and a bright red cashmere sweater for Zhang Yongli.

Among these things, the cashmere sweater is the most expensive, so why buy such an expensive thing for Zhang Yongli?Because Ju Jing always remembers Zhang Yongli's kindness.

In the early years, Zhang Yongli helped the family transplant rice seedlings, and her face was swollen all the time. She stayed in Ju's house for a month and lost a lot of weight.Without Zhang Yongli's help in those most difficult days, the family would not be what it is today.

Be grateful.

Ju Wenqi taught children that those who have bullied them do not necessarily have to bully them back, but those who have helped them must repay them. The three sisters disagree with the first half of the sentence, but they always keep the second half in mind.In Ju Jing's heart, Zhang Yongli is the number one benefactor in the family.

Zhang Yongmei reprimanded Ju Jing as usual, complaining that she spent money indiscriminately.

After complaining, he asked Ju Jing: "Where did you get the money? When your sister was learning crafts, she could make money by pretending to others. What did you do to make money?"

Ju Jing replied frankly: "I am a face model for others! There are competitions for hairdressers and beauty salons. When they compete, I will donate my face for them to use, and let them apply a layer on the left. Apply one layer, you can see that my skin is rougher than before, right?"

Zhang Yongmei saw that it was true.Ju Jing had several pimples on her face, and there were pits left by the pimples on her cheeks, which were indeed quite rough.

Ju Wenqi and his wife believed what Ju Jing said, but Ju Ling didn't believe it. She always felt that her second sister had something to hide from the family.
