Chapter 3, The Sensible Sister
It's a pity that she was heartless at this time in her previous life. She didn't know what her father had gone through. She only knew how to mess around with her friends all day long. It was not until the second semester of the second year of junior high school that she realized that it was very difficult for her father to support the four children in school alone, so she stubbornly refused to go to school and stayed at home to work.
In fact, she did not go to school to work at home, and did not reduce the burden on the family. After all, she was still young and could do very limited things. If she hadn't gone to work in the tea plantation later, she would have earned even less work points. It is not an exaggeration to say that the gains outweigh the losses.
If she is really reborn, then she will definitely not follow in the footsteps of her previous life. This time, I will protect my father who has spent his whole life caring for his children!Lu Wanqing looked at the sunlight coming in through the window, and said to herself silently.
Maybe it's because of the bowl of sour and salty water, or maybe it's because of her rebirth. At this time, when Lu Wanqing woke up, she still felt drained, but now she felt light, as if the fever and cold had gone away from her. It seems to have gone.
Turning over in a hurry, I went straight to the stove (kitchen). In the stove, my second sister was cooking fires and washing sweet potatoes by herself. She was so busy that her face was covered with sweat. The weather in June had already started to heat up. It's hotter, and it will be even hotter when it is baked by the heat of the stove.
"Xuan'er, you are kidding me, I'll cook." In such a month, there is not much food in the family. The second sister cooks sweet potato porridge, which is said to be sweet potato porridge. There are not many, only barely sticking a few.
"Sister, you still have a fever, and you woke up with a bang? Go back to sleep for a while, I'll be fine here alone." Seeing her sister, Lu Wanxuan was startled. Before that, her sister had a severe fever. , Forced to get up and cook, what if the condition worsens?
Her little face was full of concern, and Lu Wanqing's heart warmed when she saw it. In this life, no matter what, I have to keep her safe, and I won't let her go early, um, I have to pay for her. University, with her clever mind, she will definitely be famous when she goes to university!
In her previous life, the second younger sister had the same thoughts as hers. Seeing her father supporting the four of them to go to school alone, she thought of going to other provinces to work, so the salary would be higher, but it was a pity that she didn't communicate well with her father. Many things happen.
In this life, she has to find a way to make money locally, and then, not only to support her second sister to go to school, but also to let her father take the college entrance examination. Her father is only in his 30s now, so it is no problem to take the college entrance examination. Their production team is educated In fact, there are not many people, and her father is one of them.
If it wasn't for pulling the two younger brothers back then, he would have been able to go to college. Of course, it doesn't mean that he could go to college. After all, if her father had gone to college, he would have been approved if he couldn't say it in ten years. It's over.
So sometimes it's hard to say one thing, but, knowing the future direction, she is sure that as long as her father can be admitted to university, the fate of their family will probably change.
It is only June 1976, there is still more than a year before the college entrance examination, and there is more than a year of preparation time. Lu Wanqing is confident that the living conditions of the family can be improved a lot, including the tuition fees for five people to go to school, etc., but, she At this age, it's a bit tricky, and many things are not convenient to do.
In fact, the main reason is that their home is a bit too out of the way. If they go to the county town, even if they take a small road, they have to walk for seven or eight hours.
With her small arms and legs, it is really difficult to go to the county seat, but if she doesn't go to the county seat, how can she make money?Thinking about it, Lu Wanqing fell into deep thought.
"Sister, sister, what are you thinking, don't burn your hair!" Lu Wanxuan has been staring at her sister all the time, seeing her sister sitting in front of the stove and starting to be in a daze, but she was frightened, so she hurriedly said, sister still has a cold It's not good, what if I burn my hair again?
Lu Wanqing was interrupted by her younger sister's urgent voice, and then she came back to her senses. Seeing her sister's eyes glued to her body, she immediately felt a little embarrassed, and quickly put away her thoughts and said, "Uh, I just walked away for a while. Don't worry, I won't be distracted anymore."
"Well, why don't you go back to sleep for a while, and I'll call you when the meal is ready?" Although her sister said it very similarly, Lu Wanxuan was still a little worried. Her father was not at home for work, and her mother didn't care. They, if my sister's illness gets worse, she has no money to buy medicine.
"Hmph, I knew that you, a dead girl, were just being lazy. Now that you're so energetic, how can you look sick at all? Second child, it's been so long and you haven't had enough food yet? Want to starve your mother and younger sister to death?" Just as Lu Wanqing was about to speak, Li Xiaoqiong carried her youngest daughter into the kitchen, and when she saw the eldest daughter who was burning the fire, she immediately began to curse.
Lu Wanxuan was angry. My sister was obviously a little confused from the fever before, and my mother didn't care. Now that my sister has finally recovered, she started cursing again. I don't know where she got the courage to say such things. I am the one who often finds excuses not to go to work, and I have to blame others!
But she also knows that these words cannot be said, even if it is father, there is nothing to do with mother, otherwise, the situation at home would not be like this, although she is only 8 years old this year, but she is sensible very early, knowing the situation at home is not It's not very good, it's just that she is small and really can't help much except housework.
It would be great if my mother could work hard like her father, but unfortunately, 8-year-old Lu Wanxuan knew that it was just an extravagant wish, and her mother couldn't change her laziness, so she just wanted to grow up quickly. That way I can help my dad.
Lu Wanqing: emmm, having such a mother on the stall really makes people wonder what to do. Apart from being selfish, lazy and verbose, her mother has no other problems. She is neither vicious nor mean. If you want to say that she has How bad it is, that's not necessarily true, but whenever you are ready to treat her better, she can also dispel such thoughts in seconds.
As for her father, it's just that a scholar meets a soldier. It's hard to explain why. Don't look at him as a big man. Maybe I feel aggrieved living outside and dare not go home.
Lu Wanqing thought, since she was reborn, can she reform her own mother?If it is possible, then the family and everything will prosper, if not...
