"I'm sorry, it's my fault, it's me..."
"Don't call me mom, I'm not your mom!"
"mom!"
"You're just a little girl, but your father and I treat you well, right? No matter how difficult our family life was, we still supported you in going to school."
"After graduating from high school, you stayed home for so long, not helping out at all. I told you to marry Wang San. What's wrong with Wang San? He's just a little bit stupid, but his family is well-off! It doesn't matter who a girl marries. If you had agreed, would your dad have gone to that coal mine? Would something have happened?"
"I'm sorry, it's my fault, it's all my fault..."
"Get lost! Go wherever you want!"
The door slammed shut.
Yang Yan touched her aching face and walked numbly on the street.
"Yang Yan is really you?"
When Yang Yan heard the voice and looked up, she saw a familiar figure, it was Qin Siyan.
"Hey, don't be in such a hurry to leave!"
"What's up?"
When Yang Yan saw Qin Siyan trying to grab her hand, she dodged it vigilantly.
Qin Siyan smiled and didn't care, but she also noticed the slap mark on her face: "I heard you are going to the countryside."
"Um."
"Do you know the exact location?"
"Island."
"Oh! What a coincidence!"
Qin Siyan looked very excited and held her hand regardless.
"We're old classmates. You know Lin Jiaojiao and I were very close. She married and moved to an island a while ago. She hasn't written to me in such a long time. I've been worried. If you see her, could you please send me a letter after you see her? You must tell me everything about her!"
“…”
"Don't worry, I'll pay for the postage and even give you a subsidy. I'm just worried about my friend and want to pay more attention to her!"
After saying that, he wrote down his address without any care and stuffed the note into Yang Yan's hand.
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Because of the wound on her face, Yang Yan really didn't want to argue any further, so she just made up an excuse and left.
After walking a distance, he looked at the note in his hand and curled the corners of his mouth in disdain.
You really take her for a fool!
If you really care about your friend, you can just write the letter yourself. Isn't that better than asking someone to help monitor you?
What's more, she had seen it with her own eyes at the performance organized by the school before.
Originally, everyone voted for Lin Jiaojiao to be the lead actress.
But Qin Siyan said one thing in front of you and another behind your back.
On the surface, he gave his blessing, but secretly put glass shards in Lin Jiaojiao's shoes, causing her foot to be injured. He had no choice but to give up the leading role to her.
Thinking of this, he casually stuffed the note into his pocket and forgot about it!
I thought the matter was over.
Can……
Yang Yan's eyes were red as she remembered the telegram she received two days ago.
"My brother is in danger of money."
These four short words made her heart jump to her throat!
My father has passed away. If anything happens to my younger brother, this family will be completely ruined.
But sending telegrams and making phone calls are too expensive.
She simply didn't have that kind of money.
These days she has been struggling with what to do.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jiaojiao showed up on her own initiative.
If I could really get the subsidy that Qin Siyan mentioned...
Yang Yan hurriedly pulled out the jacket she was wearing before, and breathed a sigh of relief after finding the address. She then quickly took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote down what happened today.
-Lin Jiaojiao didn't stay long. After giving the things to Lin Jinbao, she took the boat home.
When we arrived at the dock, some fishermen who had gone out to sea earlier had already returned.
Lin Jiaojiao was walking on the side of the road when she saw from afar a couple drying squids on a large rock nearby.
The two people have a clear division of labor, one washes and processes the clothes below, and the other dries them above.
"Are you making dried squid?"
This is new!
I have been to this pier many times, and I have always seen people making dried salted fish, but this is the first time I have seen them making dried squid.
The woman looked to be in her forties, wearing a straw hat with a colorful old cloth tied under her chin. Her tanned skin was covered in wrinkles. Hearing the noise, she glanced at Lin Jiaojiao and said, "Yeah! You know this, too?"
"I have! It's delicious!"
Lin Jiaojiao smiled kindly, put the things in her hands aside, washed her hands, and followed her to help hang them up to dry.
"I can't bear to part with this! I'm so sorry for your hand!"
"How could that be? This is really good stuff! I used to come here often, but why didn't I see you guys?"
"We don't make this often! It's just that we have a lot of kids at home and we're poor, so there's not much good food. So when the season comes, we want to make more!"
"I see."
Lin Jiaojiao had a plan in mind.
"Sister, I actually like to eat this myself, but I don't know how to make it. Do you think I can help you and learn from you?"
After saying this, he looked around again to make sure no one was paying attention to this side.
I whispered in my elder sister's ear: "I can give you money!"
"You want to learn this?"
"certainly!"
Seeing Lin Jiaojiao's decisive answer, the eldest sister smiled and nodded: "Forget the money, this is not a good thing. If you want to learn, then follow me!"
"Sister, what do you call your brother?"
"My husband's name is Wang Ergou, and my name is Aqiu!"
"Then I'll call you Sister Qiu, and Brother Ergou. Thank you for your help!"
The man smiled and stood up, waving his hand. "Don't be polite, sister. We who live by the sea are the most down-to-earth. We don't do those empty things. Make it and bring it back for your family to try."
