Qi Haiqing broke a hard steamed bun into pieces and threw it inside. This was his lunch today.
He shamelessly packed the steamed buns and brought them back from the canteen at the mixing station. They received a food allowance every month, and if they couldn't finish the food, they would put the allowance into their own pockets.
And he can save more than half every month by using this method.
Qi Li looked at his father, who was wearing dirty work clothes and limping as he picked up wood chips from the side and stuffed them into the stove. He didn't know what he was doing, and his face was covered in dust.
"Dad~", she walked towards him blankly.
Her father had only come back twice in the past four years, and she was so busy complaining to him that she didn't notice the frost on his face and the gray hair.
It was not until now that she realized that her father had aged so much in these four years.
It was also at this moment that Qi Li realized how heavy the foreign debt of more than 1,000 yuan was when his monthly salary was only 30 or 40 yuan.
When Qi Haiqing heard the word "Dad", he was stunned for a moment and turned his head to look in the direction of the voice.
When he saw Qiao Jiangxin and the other person, he was puzzled for a moment, his pupils slightly widened, joy flashed in his eyes, but after a while the joy faded and turned into blame.
He limped forward in a panic, his face half worried and half reproachful, "Ali, why are you here? Today is Tuesday, are you skipping class?"
"Why are you so disobedient, kid? Dad has already said that I can't take care of you here. You have to be obedient. Dad will work harder. When I pay off the money I owe to others, I will go home and never leave Alibaba again."
He walked up to her and looked at the frail little girl, tears welling up in his eyes.
My wife was a fair and tender girl before, but in just a few years she was like a flower that had been raped and drained of nutrients and was about to wither.
He gently held Qi Li in his arms.
It's not just his father who has been enduring these years, his daughter has been too.
His daughter lived through these days, which were as suffocating as a swamp, for as long as he had lived through them. His daughter suffered as much injustice as he had suffered.
His voice was hoarse and trembling, "Ali, it will be soon. Dad will work harder. In two years at most, I will be able to pay off all my debts.
I know your grandma and aunt don't treat you well, but Ali, Daddy really has no choice, there's really nothing he can do.
You are still so young, and you have seen the environment here. I really can't take care of you, and I am worried about you living alone. ”
"No matter how mean your aunt and grandma are to you, they are still your family. If there is no one to look after you, what will you do if a bad person wants to plot against you?"
I thought of the last time my daughter begged me to take her with me and the lost and gloomy look in her eyes after she was rejected.
Qi Haiqing's voice was choked with sobs.
"Your Uncle Huang lent me all the money in the family. Your Big Brother Huang is still waiting to get married. If he delays any further, he will be delayed. Your Aunt Huang and Big Brother Huang blame Uncle Huang for this.
And your aunt Ning, because she lent us money, her husband and in-laws treated her badly.
Everyone is holding on. I should be happy, but Ali, they shouldn't be happy. They just helped us.
Ali, they helped us. Even if we can't repay them, at least we can't be ungrateful.
This is what we owe them, and we must repay it no matter how difficult it is. ”
