Chapter 92

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Jiang Xi's landlord informed her: "We are going to vacate the house. They will all be back tomorrow! Tomorrow morning, the house will be cleared out for someone else to live in!"

The landlord said this with some embarrassment, as if he was chasing the girl away. Fortunately, the girl didn't say much, and just smiled and said: "Thank you, sister. I'm sorry to bother you these few days! I will move out tomorrow morning."

The landlord felt even more embarrassed when she kept calling me sister. She said: "Oh~ I'm old and you still call me sister? You should call me auntie!" But she couldn't hide the smile on her face, "What's the bother? You just come to sleep here at night and stay in the store during the day. It's not a bother. Come to my house for dinner when you have time."

"Okay, sister!" Jiang Xi's smile was sweet and obedient, which could easily make people let down their guard.

To be honest, Jiang Xi had not caused any trouble to her family during the half month she lived there. During this half month, Jiang Xi had been running between Wucheng and Shanghai for more than half of the time. She had only lived here for less than a week, which made the landlord feel a little embarrassed.

Even if it was only for a week, such a room was necessary so that she would have a place to stay when she returned to Wucheng.

Jiang Xi moved her quilt, bedding, hot water kettle, slippers and other items to the school little by little.

The school was now open, and the dormitory building was also open. The girls still entered in an orderly manner from the right door, and the boys went upstairs from the stairs of the left door, with a clear distinction.

Because it was morning, there were very few new students in the school, and there was no one in the dormitory. Jiang Xi simply tidied her bed, made the bed, put down the mosquito net, went to the cafeteria to get breakfast, and went back to the store.

She was still used to typing in the morning. After two hours of typing, there were almost more customers.

When there were not many customers, she would read and review in the store.

He Xiaofang also got up early in the morning to pack her things and prepare to go to school.

She had been squeezed at home with her two sisters for more than 20 days. Three adults and two children were squeezed into a big bed of 1.5 meters. There was no room for them to sleep, so they could only sleep sideways. She could only curl up at night. If she moved a little, the quilt on her body would fall off, but she didn't dare to stretch her body. If she stretched her legs, her feet would be exposed.

But there was no other way, that was the condition in the countryside.

During the Chinese New Year, the man who had wanted to marry her before sent a gift to the He family, and it was obvious that he still wanted to marry her. Seeing how sincere and honest he was, He Xiaofang's parents sighed and advised He Xiaofang to get married: "Even if you don't get married, get the marriage arranged first. When you graduate in two years, you can get married. Twenty years old is not too early or too late. Isn't that just right?"

They really couldn't understand why He Xiaofang didn't want to get married. Girls have to get married when they grow up!

He Xiaofang was so scared that she almost cried. She kept shaking her head: "Dad, Mom, I don't want to get married yet, I'm still young..."

"Girl, why don't you listen? Can your mother and I hurt you? We didn't ask you to get married now. Get engaged first. By then you'll be 20 years old, you won't be young anymore!"

He's father and mother were just like He Xiaofang, very tanned from the sun. He's father was very thin, with prominent cheekbones on his face. He's mother, on the other hand, looked big, but perhaps because she had given birth to so many children, her face looked very old.

He Xiaofang looked at her mother with a sad face, and then at her elder sister who was divorced and brought her two children to the village. She was pointed at and couldn't even raise her head. She looked like a withered person. She cried and shook her head and said, "I won't marry, I won't marry, you are lying."

Marrying would not make her life better. Looking at her mother and elder sister, it was as if she saw her future life, which made her feel afraid and resist instinctively.

At this moment, she wanted to run away from home. She looked at her second sister for help and cried, "Second sister, I don't want to study anymore, take me out to work!" That way she could not marry and escape from here.

He Xiaofang's second sister is called He Xiaoqin. She is two years older than He Xiaofang. She dropped out of primary school to work. Hearing this, she scolded: "Nonsense! You have been admitted to No. 1 Middle School, but you still don't study? Don't talk nonsense, study hard!"

He Xiaoqin's life is like this, but she can't watch her sister's life ruined like this. Her sister doesn't understand at all that there is no future in working. She does the same thing in the factory every day, just like the machines in the factory. She can't even lift her head and her neck is stiff after sitting down for a day.

She knows that only by studying, girls can have a future.

Fortunately, the money she earns from working can support her sister's education.

She didn't want to get married at all. After getting married, even the money she worked hard to earn would not be hers, and she herself would become someone else's.

He Xiaoqin and He Xiaofang had grown up, their legs were long and they could run. Their parents had no choice but to tell the young man who came to propose marriage to them, "Xiaofang is still young, we want to keep her for two more years."

The man who came to propose marriage really liked He Xiaofang, so he came to propose marriage again and again. Hearing this, she said, "Uncle, I can wait for Xiaofang until she graduates from high school."

He Xiaoqin had already listened to what He Xiaofang said, and Jiang Xi had done everything for her. 's future plan, saying: "It's not okay to wait until she graduates. My sister will go to college after graduation. In the future, she will become a state teacher and eat the state's food!"

For rural girls, there is no better way out than to become a state teacher and eat the state's food. Even when looking for a daughter-in-law in the city, teachers are the first choice. Teachers have a good career, high social recognition, and are respected. More importantly, teachers have many holidays and can take care of the family.

I don't know why, in people's minds, men don't need to take care of the family, but when a woman goes out to work, everyone will take a fancy to her because she can take care of the family, has a salary, can take care of the children, and has a pension in the future.

It can be said that marrying a teacher is a steady profit, so teachers are very popular in the marriage market in their area.

Although He Xiaoqin didn't want her sister to be like herself, she couldn't get rid of the shackles of the times and still regarded marriage as the final destination for women. She had a different voice in her heart, but she didn't know what it was. She was locked in a house with no ventilation and couldn't get out.

The young man blushed and was disappointed. He looked at He Xiaofang painfully.

If He Xiaofang was admitted to the Normal University and became a national teacher, he would not be worthy of He Xiaofang.

He hoped that He Xiaofang would marry him after graduating from high school, instead of going to any university or becoming a national teacher.

Is being a national teacher more important than marrying him? He liked her so much and wanted to marry her wholeheartedly.

But He Xiaofang was just scared and shrank back behind her second sister. However, her figure was too plump and could not be covered by her thin second sister.

She mustered up her courage and glared back: "I said I won't get married! Don't come again!"

In the end, the young man went back disappointed.

He's parents looked at the New Year gifts brought by the young man on the table, and they didn't understand why both daughters were unwilling to accept such a good young man.

He Xiaoqin went out to work after the fifth day of the New Year, and He Xiaofang stayed at home and endured it. Finally, the day of school started. With the help of elder sister He, the two sisters carried food and backpacks and went back to school.

The first thing she did when she returned to Wucheng was not to report to school, but to run to Jiang Xi's store. Seeing that Jiang Xi was in the store, she shouted: "Xixi!"

The sound was very loud and clear.

Jiang Xi, who was typing in the store, turned his head and saw He Xiaofang, and his eyebrows couldn't help but bend down: "You are back?" "

Yeah!" She nodded vigorously.

She didn't know why she came to see Jiang Wu first. Maybe it was because of her calm aura. She was so determined about everything, her eyes were always firm, she always knew the direction she was going, and she was determined to move forward, never confused, never hesitant.

When He Xiaofang saw Jiang Wu, her heart settled down immediately. She wanted to hug Jiang Wu and tell her how scared she was. She missed her so much.

She just smiled with tears in her eyes: "I came to see if you have returned to school. When I came in, you were here!"

Sister He was only 24 years old, but she got married early. Now she is the mother of two children. But when she stood with He Xiaofang, she seemed to be more than ten years older than her.

She looked at Jiang Wu, and then at He Xiaofang. At this time, He Xiaofang seemed to have broken free from some shackles, and there was a kind of vigorous vitality on her face.

Like the rising sun.

She didn't understand what these meant, but she couldn't help but feel envious from the bottom of her heart.

"Xiaofang, is this your classmate?" She asked He Xiaofang with a faint smile.

He Xiaofang then remembered to introduce her to her elder sister and said, "Sister, this is my good friend Jiang Xi!"

After saying that, she looked at Jiang Xi with some trepidation, afraid that Jiang Xi would not agree with this statement, and afraid that it was just her wishful thinking.

However, Jiang Wu did not refute her statement. Instead, she nodded and smiled at He Dahua: "Hello."

He Dahua was a little at a loss, "Hello... hello." She pulled He Xiaofang: "Xiaofang, aren't you going to deliver food to school?"

"Oh." He Xiaofang looked at Jiang Wu again, and under her smiling gaze, she couldn't help but smile widely: "Then I'll go back to school first!"

He Xiaofang was strong, and she walked briskly on the campus carrying a hundred kilograms of food. He Dahua followed her laboriously, looking at her sister's back. He Xiaofang at school and her sister at home were two completely different people.

He Xiaofang is hardworking and capable, and is good at both home and outside. However, she always has a kind of timid attitude, especially when her parents persuaded her to get married. In He Xiaofang's ears, it was as if they were saying, "Xiaofang, there is a big fire pit over there, jump in, why don't you jump? What a good fire pit, jump quickly!" As they said, they pushed her to jump.

He Xiaofang was so scared that she was like a frightened bird. Every time the man came, she wanted to close the door of the room and not let anyone in.

"Xiaofang." He Dahua suddenly called her.

"Huh?" He Xiaofang, who was walking briskly in front, turned around and looked at her elder sister.

She looked calm and energetic. Walking on the campus, she didn't have the fear she had at home. She was like the wild weeds growing between heaven and earth, small, but trying to stretch her veins upwards to absorb the sunlight.

After He Xiaofang exchanged all the food for food coupons, she sent He Dahua away from school and returned to the dormitory. She noticed that Jiang Xi's bed had been made.

For some reason, she felt relieved.

She returned to the dormitory and looked at Jiang Xi's familiar mosquito net. It was like returning to her own home, making her feel safe. She went downstairs to get some hot water and took her own bottle of pickled vegetables. Because it was the New Year, the pickled vegetables she brought this time contained a lot of bacon nuggets.

She carried three bottles of water, one for Jiang Xi, one for Xu Xiuli, and one for herself, and rushed upstairs. After getting some hot water, she wiped the dust in the dormitory with a linen cloth, and then wiped her and Xu Xiuli's beds. When she saw other people's beds, she wiped them all, then changed the water, cleaned the rag, wet the mop, wrung it out, and mopped the floor until it was shiny, especially Jiang Xi's bed, which she mopped again and again until it was completely clean. Then she hummed a song with satisfaction, made her own bed, and lay down on it beautifully. In less than a minute, she began to snore.

She hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days.

In the countryside, girls cannot sleep during the day, otherwise the whole village will say that you are lazy, and it may spread to the surrounding villages, and become a lazy girl known to everyone.

Especially in winter, everyone is not busy, and they like to gossip about each other. If someone finds out that someone's girl does not get up to help with the housework in the daytime, but stays in bed, then the whole village will soon know that she is a lazy girl.

Jiang Xi is a famous "lazy" girl in the whole village. Only those who selflessly contribute to this family and create value and benefits are good girls in the eyes of others.

After Jiang Xi typed and sent it, she turned off the computer and went to school to register and pay the tuition.

Jiang's mother would ask someone to send her the tuition fee, which was really a surprise to her. Such a surprise had never happened in her previous life.

At this time in her previous life, she was a little girl who was only 14 or 15 years old in her true mental age. She was taken to such a place, and walked thousands of miles back along the railway track, like a beggar. She returned to school for half a year and re-took the high school entrance examination.

She was in financial difficulties throughout her adolescence. She was worried about the money to buy pens, notebooks, test papers, tutoring books, and sanitary napkins every day. Her grandfather's annual salary was not enough to pay for two semesters of tuition, so her grandfather and grandson spent a lot of time and effort to help her pay for the exams.

At that time, she knew nothing, had no capital, no skills, and no time. The only way she could think of to make money was to learn from her grandfather and pick up junk and sell it on weekends.

Now that she had money, she was still very happy to receive the tuition money that Jiang's mother had someone bring to her.

She paid the tuition and had some money left. She wanted to go back to the dormitory to get some hot water, but before she pushed the door open, she heard the rhythmic snoring inside. She couldn't help but smile, and quietly pushed the door open. When she picked up the kettle, it was already full. She quietly went downstairs to fill Grandpa's kettle with water, and bought lunch and brought it to Grandpa's store.

In the afternoon, Wang Xia, Xu Xiuli and others also returned to the dormitory one after another. When they saw Jiang Xi holding a large stack of "Martial Arts" magazines and two published books of "The Song Dynasty", they all jumped over excitedly. Not only did they love reading these books, but they could also exchange them for braised pork! Wang Xia

hugged him and said, "Jiang Xi, I will take care of your duty!"

He Xiaofang, who was snoring loudly, was frightened and sat up in her sleep: "Dormitory head! Don't fight with me!"

Boom boom!
