However, it was no use saying this now. What she needed to think about was how to ensure her grandfather's safety.
"Do you have a place to live now?"
When Song Defa's voice came, Sui Yuzhu quickly came back to her senses.
She nodded gently: "I am now living in the family who took me in."
Song Defa asked again: "Do you want to go find your family?"
Sui Yuzhu quickly shook her head.
Just kidding, of course I don’t want to!
Grandpa and his family have not been in contact with Daya for a long time, so it is normal that they are not familiar with her.
But if I really go to find my cousin, will they not recognize my own child?
So, she quickly shook her head and said, "No, I'm living a good life now. If I go back, I will definitely have a hard time."
If a girl of this age goes back, what else can she do except be married off by them in exchange for a dowry?
Perhaps thinking of this possibility, Song Defa didn't say anything else and just looked at Lu Mei.
"Meizi, the kid is right. It's already hard enough."
What he meant was that Lu Mei should not go back to her parents' home to tell them.
Lu Mei couldn't help laughing: "They moved away a long time ago, and their contact information is long gone. Even if I want to tell them, I have to be able to find a place!"
Hearing what they said, Sui Yuzhu felt relieved.
After dinner, everyone went to work or school, and Sui Yuzhu was ready to leave.
Now she has a goal. She wants to make money, a lot of money, so that her mother can go to college and create better conditions for her.
Song Defa walked towards the entrance of the alley with them.
Before they parted, Sui Yuzhu called out to him, "Uncle, please take good care of yourself."
Song Defa paused, turned around and looked at her in surprise, obviously not quite understanding what she meant.
Sui Yuzhu smiled and said, "Only if you take good care of yourself can your family live a better life."
Song Xinlan turned her head and looked at her.
Song Defa looked slightly dazed. After a while, he didn't know what he was thinking about. A smile appeared on his serious face and he nodded slightly.
Without saying anything, he turned and left.
After Song Xinlan's father left, she asked, "Why did you say this to my dad?"
Sui Yuzhu shrugged and said casually: "I just think he is very tired."
It would be tiring for one person to support a whole family.
Song Xinlan might have been touched by these words, and subconsciously looked in the direction her father left.
Sui Yuzhu asked her again: "Song Xinlan, you are going to take the college entrance examination next year, right? Which university do you want to go to?"
Song Xinlan first looked at her with a reproachful look, then smiled and said, "I remember you seem to be one year younger than me, right? You should call me sister!"
Then, with eyes shining, he said, "I want to go to Kyoto University!"
Kyoto University has always been her dream.
Although she is still some distance away from Kyoto University, as long as one has dreams, maybe she can achieve it.
Sui Yuzhu's eyes felt a little sore.
She knew her mother had good grades, but she didn't expect them to be so good.
If my mother had been more selfish and gotten into university, no one would have said anything to her.
However, she gave up going to school for the sake of her own mother.
"It's not easy to get into Kyoto University, so you have to work hard!" Sui Yuzhu said with a chuckle.
Song Xinlan pursed her lips and smiled.
At the intersection, when they were parting, Sui Yuzhu asked, "Can I come to see you often?"
Song Xinlan nodded: "Of course, you can come anytime!"
Hearing her answer, Sui Yuzhu reached into her pocket and took out another piece of candy, peeled off the candy wrapper, and put it in her mouth.
"Don't be so foolish as to bring people home in the future, just because you are afraid that they are bad people," said Sui Yuzhu.
Song Xinlan smiled and shook her head: "How could you be a bad person? I felt that you looked familiar at first sight, as if I had known you for a long time. I guessed right, right?"
He smiled and waved at her, "I'm going to school. Come and play with me when you have time!"
The smile is bright and brilliant, like the gentle and warm sunshine in winter.
Sui Yuzhu looked at her and couldn't help but tear up.
He turned his head, wiped his face, and turned back to shout, "Song Xinlan!"
Song Xinlan also turned around.
"I've changed my name now. My name is Sui Yuzhu!"
Song Xinlan responded softly: "Then I will call you Yuzhu from now on!"
Her eyes and eyebrows are curved, and she looks very happy.
Sui Yuzhu's mood also improved.
In fact, her mother seldom calls her by her name. Usually, she calls her baby or darling.
However, she is content as long as she can still hear her mother calling her name.
After coming out of the alley, Sui Yuzhu was not in a hurry to go back.
She now needs to think carefully about how to make money.
If you go to work, you can only earn a fixed salary now. When you first join the factory, you may not even get 30 yuan.
You can still make more money by doing business.
However, she only had the twenty yuan borrowed from Qin Yue, so she could only do some small business at best, and she couldn't make a lot of money.
Food is the easiest to get started with.
Thinking of this, she took the bus to the lighting factory.
The lighting factory is a large factory with more than 10,000 employees and their families.
The area is completely a small community.
Hospitals, schools, etc. are all available.
Many of the surrounding buildings have been demolished and replaced with high-rise buildings in later generations, but the lighting factory has remained largely unchanged.
Sui Yuzhu has lived here since she was a child, so although the buildings have changed, she can still find some familiar scenes.
It was afternoon working hours and many people were coming and going at the factory gate.
Unlike in later generations, stalls were not allowed to be set up at the factory entrance, but there were several stalls set up.
There are people selling cloth and clothes, grains and cereals, matches and cigarettes, and some sugar, cakes, bread, etc.
Although there is a grocery store opposite the factory, people still stop in front of these stalls.
Sui Yuzhu observed for a while and found that just as she expected, more people were buying food.
Since the 1980s, the living standards in cities and towns have begun to rise year by year. With better living conditions, people are naturally more willing to spend money on food and drink.
After the family planning policy was implemented, households no longer had so many children. With fewer mouths to feed, naturally there was more money in their pockets.
Sui Yuzhu stayed in the lighting factory for a long time until work started, and then she left.
She already had a general idea in her mind, and the next thing she should consider was how to use the twenty yuan in her hand to set up this stall.
After finding the bus stop, she began to look for the route back.
