Su Yu didn't rest at home; she got up early the next morning to go to work. No matter how Su Dazhi and Su Zhi tried to persuade her, it was no use.
“Taking time off all the time isn’t good for work. I’m planning to give you two brothers a good life. How can I let it interfere with work? It’s alright.”
Su Yu looked weak and sighed, "I just feel so weak all over. I've been eating corn porridge lately, and it's made me feel so soft. It's all because my constitution is too weak. Otherwise, how come you all eat the same thing and are fine? I'm malnourished."
"Sis, do you have any money? I'll go buy you some meat buns."
Su Zhi said embarrassedly. He had spent all his savings on buying things for his sister at the hospital last time.
Su Yu didn't have much money left either. The original owner had supported her younger siblings for years, including a competitive girl, and occasionally had to go out on dates, basically living paycheck to paycheck. The little money she managed to save was all used for Su Dazhi's wedding. And she hadn't received her salary yet. She planned to save the rest slowly, not wanting to go hungry after eating it all.
However, thinking that the Liu family would soon be compensating her, she simply took out some money and said, "This is all I have. Dazhi spent it all on his wedding. If I had known I would find such a wife, I should have saved some money for you all, so you wouldn't have to suffer like this."
"It's all my brother's fault!" Su Zhi glared at Su Dazhi. If it weren't for his brother's incompetence, he would still be able to enjoy big meat buns with his sister right now.
This little bit of money is enough for me to eat.
Su Dazhi was so devastated that he couldn't even lift his head.
She was in a rush to get to work and didn't have time to go out and buy anything. Su Yu ate a bowl of plain porridge that Su Lin had specially cooked for her at home. After the two brothers, Su Dazhi and Su Zhi, finished eating, they carried her out to work.
When they passed the Guoying Restaurant on the way, Su Zhi quickly took his food coupons and money and went inside, managing to snatch two meat buns for Su Yu.
"Sis, eat this, it's still warm." Su Zhi swallowed hard.
Su Yu looked at the meat buns, her eyes welling up with tears. "The last time I ate meat buns, it was Zhi who bought them for me. I didn't even get to taste them properly."
While eating, she said, "When I get paid in the future, I'll buy you all meat buns too."
Su Zhi smacked his lips, already planning in his mind that when he got paid, he would buy meat buns for himself. How delicious!
As for giving his sister his salary, he completely ignored it, figuring she wouldn't mistreat him anyway. Even if she did take his salary, she'd definitely give him some pocket money.
Su Dazhi was in even more agony, as Su Yu lay on his back eating meat buns. The aroma made his stomach, which had just been full, start rumbling again.
Su Yu lay on his back, eating as she spoke, "Hey, that woman Liu Mei is taking our Dazhi's money, who knows how many people's buns she's eating."
Su Dazhi: "..."
The people at the factory knew about Su Yu's accident. The union was even planning to send someone to Su Yu's home to check on her. Knowing that Su Yu had returned to work, they came specifically to find her.
Yan Fang said, "We all heard about why you came to work. Someone caused you trouble yesterday. We heard you even ended up in the hospital. Committee Member Zhang is even planning to visit you today."
Su Yu smiled and waved her hand, "How can I cause trouble for the factory? As long as we can still move, we should come to work. We should follow the spirit of the trade union and not hold the factory back." Then she coughed, "Officer Yan, I've finished reading the book you borrowed from me last time. I'll return it to you later."
"You've finished both books? So fast?" Officer Yan exclaimed in surprise. It hasn't been long at all.
"I haven't had a moment's rest since I got back. I read by kerosene lamp at night. And I'm a fast reader, I have a strong ability to learn. I can learn anything in no time," Su Yu boasted without blushing. She had no choice; her starting point was too low, she needed something impressive to compete with others.
Upon hearing Su Yu's words, Yan Fang had no doubt whatsoever; instead, she looked on with admiration. "Comrade Su Yu, you are truly capable. Although I went to high school, I don't think I'm a very strong learner."
Compared to Comrade Su Yu, she's only slightly luckier. Comrade Su Yu's life has been full of twists and turns; otherwise, how outstanding she would be now!
Seeing Yan Fang's expression, Su Yu smiled and then said shyly, "By the way, Officer Yan, there's something I wanted to ask you about. I'm planning to apply for the provincial night school, but I need a recommendation from my work unit to apply. Do you know who's in charge of this now?"
These days, getting into school isn't just about having money; each organization has limited spots. First, you need a recommendation, then you have to register for an exam. The exam is just a formality; the most important thing is the recommendation.
Hearing Su Yu's words, Yan Fang said with delight, "You're planning to study? That's a good thing! Go to the factory committee to register and find Officer Gao Ke. He's in charge of this. It shouldn't be a big problem. Striving for progress is a good thing, and the thank-you letter you wrote before has already been published in the factory's newspaper. It's all because of your good handwriting and progressive thinking."
Upon hearing this, Su Yu grasped Yan Fang's hand with a smile, "Comrade Fang, you are my guiding star!"
After Yan Fang left, Su Yu worked diligently.
When it was time for lunch break and a drink of water, I went to ask Director Xu for leave again, and then went to the factory committee office.
"You want to enroll in school?"
Gao Ke, a man in his thirties, was usually very polite. Upon hearing this, he almost thought he was hallucinating, and then looked Su Yu up and down. She didn't look like someone going to school at all.
"Yes, Officer Gao, there is no end to learning in life. I think that people as cultured as you do great things and make great contributions to the factory. I hope to become a cultured person as well and improve my work skills. After all, the factory is our home, and its development depends on everyone. Only when we improve can the factory become a better place."
