Chen Huan, 20 years old, is in her third year of college, and the school has an early holiday, and she and Jingjing participated in a project organized by the teacher, which just ended today.
She was lying on the bed while playing with her phone.
She explained: "I have already discussed with the aunt of the dormitory administrator and agreed to help her take care of the dormitory building.
Quietly walked to the bed, sat down cross-legged, and said to Huanhuan: "Huanhuan, let's go home for the New Year together."
Chen Huan put down his phone and said with a smile: It's okay, I can do it alone, you know, I've been like this for the past two years, and I've long been used to it.
Also, I have to go to work, the supermarket we frequent, business is very good during the Chinese New Year, they need temporary workers, I have agreed.
Jing Jing held her hand and said, "Huanhuan, I am the only child of my parents, and only the three of us celebrate the New Year together every year, they will definitely be very happy if you go."
We've been together for three years, and our relationship is closer than sisters, and I mean it. ”
Chen Huan was a little hesitant, the relationship between them was indeed very good, but was it really okay to go to Jingjing's house for the New Year? Jing Jing called her mother and said, "Mom, how are you preparing for the New Year?" I'll be able to go home tomorrow afternoon. ”
Mom laughed and said, "This year's New Year is no different from usual, you can buy everything you need at any time, and there is nothing special to prepare." ”
Jingjing said, "Mom, I want to come back with Huanhuan, what do you think?" Mom happily said, "Really? That's great, the house will be more lively, and I'll go buy more delicious food tomorrow. ”
Jing Jing deliberately said: Mom, how do I watch, when I heard that Huanhuan was coming, you were even happier, did you forget, who is your daughter? Mother: Hmph, what's wrong with I just like Huan? Who made you less well-behaved and sensible than her.
The mother and daughter talked for a while, and then the mother said to Huanhuan: Huanhuan, you're welcome, come to the house with Jingjing for the New Year, uncles and aunts are waiting for you.
hung up **, and said quietly: Huanhuan, give me your ID card, and I'll buy a ticket for tomorrow morning.
Chen Huan's eyes were a little moist, she knew that Jingjing was sincere, so she wouldn't be polite to her, otherwise she would really live up to her sincerity.
She took out her ID card, handed it to Jingjing, and said: How much is it, I will send it to you.
Jingjing didn't raise his head and said: Let's buy a second-class seat, 178 yuan.
Chen Huan transferred the money, looking at the fact that he only had 2,570 yuan left, thinking that he still had to make money, he felt that he was really useless, he was busy working part-time every day, how could he save this money.
When she went to Jingjing's house for the New Year, she definitely wanted to buy something, and planned to spend about 500, plus daily flowers, this trip was about 1500 yuan, and she only had 1000 left at the start of school.
Forget it, it's useless to think too much, she thinks that she will come back early after the New Year, and then work hard to earn money.
And when she was thinking about this, she quietly sent a message to her mother, saying: Mom, is there a supermarket near home looking for temporary workers? Huanhuan was going to do odd jobs.
Chen Huan and Jingjing got up early, rushed to the station after breakfast, and looked at the people carrying large bags and small bags, everyone's faces were beaming, and it was always looking forward to going home for the New Year.
When he arrived outside the door of Jingjing's community, Huanhuan said: Jingjing, you accompany me to buy something, my first time I go to your house, I can't go in empty-handed, otherwise my grandma will definitely be angry.
Jingjing knew her temper, and she didn't persuade her, so she took her to the supermarket, where Huanhuan bought two bottles of wine and spent 380 yuan.
She originally wanted to buy another box of Telunsu, but Jingjing refused, saying: No matter how polite you are, I'm not happy.
Chen Huan smiled a little shyly and said: I know, thank you, Auntie, for making up the trouble for you.
Quietly watched her mother cook a table of dishes, and said: Huanhuan, my mother is too partial, hum, I'm really angry.
Chen Huan and Jingjing's family were eating, her eyes couldn't help but be a little moist, she couldn't remember how long she hadn't eaten at home.
Since her grandmother's death, she has lived alone in a dormitory all year round, eating in the cafeteria every day, and only occasionally going out for a meal with her roommates.
She ate a piece of fish, the spicy and fragrant taste, it was her favorite, she looked at Jingjing, it must have been what she told Aunt Gao.
After eating, he said quietly: Huanhuan, let's go to sleep first, and when we get up, we go to the supermarket at the door, my mother asked, they also recruit temporary workers, I will go with you.
Huanhuan was a little embarrassed, book: No, take a good rest these days, and I will go back to school to work after the New Year.
Aunt Gao said: Go ahead, just let Jing Jing experience it too.
Huanhuan couldn't sleep in bed, she liked the atmosphere of a quiet home, perhaps because she had never experienced it herself.
She misses her grandmother so much, and if she was still around, she would have had her own home, instead of being alone, and all decisions were up to her.
Jing Jing said: "Huanhuan, are you insomnia?" Then let's have a drink at the bar, there is a good barbecue near my house where we can order takeout. ”
Huan Huan sat up, glared at her and said, "Jingjing, don't you want to **?" After eating so much just now, can you still eat it? Quietly said casually: "It doesn't matter, of course you have to eat barbecue when you drink."
Moreover, you can lose weight at the beginning of the class, so you don't have to worry. ”
As she spoke, she had already ordered a bunch of food, paid for it and went out to get the wine.
She had already seen a few cans of beer at home, so she quietly took it in and opened the door, saying, "Come, drink a can first, I'll be the one you talk to for free today, listen to your story, okay?" Huanhuan took the wine, the two drank it all, and she said, "Okay, maybe you've probably heard of it, I'll tell you about it."
When I was 6 years old, my dad met the daughter of a contractor foreman, who was tall and handsome, and although he often worked on the construction site, he was whiter than other workers.
The woman liked him very much.
When he came home, he was determined to divorce my mother, and my mother was beaten many times, and she couldn't stand it anymore, so she had to agree to the divorce.
However, at the time of the divorce, it was neither my father nor my mother who wanted me, and my father stared at my mother insidiously and said, "Zhang Ping, you'd better think it through, otherwise." Before he could finish speaking, the staff at the time interjected, "What do you want to do?" Are you threatening? "My dad suddenly became timid, coaxed my mom with good words, and promised to pay 500 yuan a month in child support.
My mother was afraid that she would be beaten if she didn't agree, so she agreed.
After my dad divorced, he left with the woman and never went home, no longer cared about my grandma and me, and didn't pay child support.
I lived with my mother, and in less than half a year, my mother remarried, and my stepfather didn't like me at all.
Whenever he looked me in the eyes, I felt his vicious gaze, and I was so scared that as long as he was at home, I would stay away.
Later, my mother gave birth to a younger brother, and my mother began to hate me and thought that I had eaten too much.
After school, I started to learn how to cook, wash diapers, and feed the pigs.
However, even so, it is often forbidden to eat.
The stepfather said: "Pingping, this girl is too lazy, and now there is a little Lei Lei, the family really can't support her, see if you can send her away." ”
My mother hugged my brother, glared at me, and said, "Well, I'll give her to that old woman, her own granddaughter, this weekend, and let her take care of her." ”
I cried and begged my mother to let me stay, I could help take care of my brother, but my mother beat me up.
She said angrily: "Look at the way you look now, exactly like your father, it's annoying to look at." ”
Mom left me at my grandmother's door, and she left without looking back.
The door was locked, and I crouched outside the door and waited for my grandmother to come back, which took a long time to come back because she was carrying a large basket of hogweed.
When she saw me, she hurriedly said, "Huanhuan, why don't you go in?" What about your mother? The eldest aunt heard the voice and came out and said, "Mom, her mother doesn't want her anymore, and said that she wants you to keep her, what do you think about this?" Grandma said, "Chunxiang, let the child in first, and give her some food." ”
The eldest aunt said: "Mom, what you said is really good, we can't support our own children, ** have the money to support her."
Mom, I know you are partial to Chen Hui, but you can't care about my family's life or death, don't forget that there are still two children to go to school. ”
My grandmother picked me up and said, "Go, go in with her." ”
She said again: "Chunxiang, don't worry, although I am old, I can still afford to raise a child." ”
After entering the door, my grandmother put down the basket and prepared a large bowl of noodles for me, with a fried yellow-orange-orange egg on it, which was particularly delicious.
My uncle had gone to work, but he was also called back that night, and the family sat together, and I snuggled up to my grandmother in fear.
Uncle said: "Mom, I also know that the child is pitiful, but our family is at this level, and you have also seen that it is already very difficult to provide two children with education, and it is too hard to take care of another child." ”
Grandma sighed and said, "Okay, you give me a few days, I'll take Huanhuan away, and I'll support her without spending your money." ”
Grandma took me to sleep, touched my head and said, "Don't worry, Huanhuan, as long as grandma is here, she will definitely be able to provide you with education." ”
I curled up in my grandmother's arms with peace of mind and whispered, "Grandma, Huanhuan will help you work, I can cook, I can beat grandma's legs." ”
The next day, my grandmother took me to the county, we walked for a day, only ate two steamed buns, and when it was almost dark, my grandmother rented a very small house.
She smiled and said, "Huanhuan, this is our future home, Huanhuan goes to school in the county, okay?" I said very happily: "Grandma, Huanhuan likes it very much, Huanhuan finally has a home." ”
Grandma brought her own futon, went to the thrift market to buy a bed, laid the futon, and my grandma and I lay down comfortably.
The house was too small to cook, and I didn't have a place to do my homework.
But my grandmother was very smart, she bought a small coal stove and cooked at the door, and also nailed me a small table at the door so that I could sit in the door and do my homework.
When I transferred to another school, the nearest school didn't want me, and my grandmother took me to stand at the school gate for three days, and the principal finally saw the pity of our grandparents and grandchildren, and was so annoyed that he couldn't do it, so he arranged a class for me so that I could go to school.
In order to feed me, my grandmother went to pick up waste every day, and our door was full of cardboard boxes, drink bottles, waste wire, etc.
On the way home from school, I picked up drink bottles with a bag every time, and I was teased by my classmates, but I didn't care, I just wanted to help my grandmother, and I could earn an extra piece of money.
Every two or three days, my grandmother and I would go to a scrap yard far away and sell the bottles we had picked up, and my grandmother would buy a lot of eggs, cook two of them every morning for me to eat, and I would peel one egg and put it in my grandmother's porridge bowl.
Grandma always said, "Oh, Huanhuan, you are going to school and need to eat eggs to replenish your brain." ”
Later, my grandmother saved some money and went to the thrift market to buy a tricycle, and she rode the bike every day to pick up waste, which was much easier.
Many people in the community have known grandma, and the old books and cardboard boxes that are not needed at home are given to grandma, and grandma has gradually earned more money, and the life of the two of us has been much better.
In the winter of my third year of junior high school, my grandmother was riding a bicycle to pick up waste, she was hit by a big car, she was already old, and she fell, and after being sent to the hospital, she found that she had broken bones.
Grandma cried and said, "Child, leave me alone, go to school well, grandma is fine, she can take care of herself." ”
But my grandmother couldn't move at all, so how could I study so easily? Nothing is more important to me than my grandmother.
So I took a week off to take care of my grandmother in the hospital.
When she slept, I sat on the edge of her bed and read a book and studied by myself.
The driver who hung up on his grandmother was found, and when the police took him to the hospital, he said angrily: "Look at it, an old man was knocked down by you and hospitalized, and you didn't send him to the hospital in time, and there was no compensation and care, do you still have a conscience?" The driver lowered his head and said, "I really didn't notice that she fell, otherwise I would never have driven away." ”
The policeman asked me, "Little girl, how is your grandmother doing?" What are your family's plans? At this time, my grandmother woke up, she frowned and said: "Alas, I live with a child, and now I have no one to help take care of me, and I can't go out to work, if you hit me, you have to compensate for hospitalization expenses and lost work expenses."
Regardless of whether you really hit it or not, you must compensate me, otherwise my child and I will not be able to survive this winter. ”
The driver said, "Old lady, please rest assured, since I hit and injured you, I should compensate."
In this way, I will give you a total of 10,000 yuan, I hope you can forgive me. ”
The policeman suddenly laughed and said, "Do you think that the old man and the child are not sensible, so you are deliberately pretending to be stupid here?" Is 10,000 yuan enough? Let me calculate for you, the hospitalization fee plus nutrition fee is 20,000 yuan, the 6-month lost work fee is 30,000 yuan, the 6-month nursing fee is 30,000 yuan, and the 6-month living fee is 12,000 yuan, a total of 92,000 yuan.
I'll give you a very clear calculation, do you have any opinions? If there is an opinion, then I will find a lawyer, I have dealt with this kind of thing a lot, this is already the most reasonable calculation. ”
The man said angrily: "Don't go too far, you didn't mean it, you just touched it, why do you have to compensate so much money?" You won't be her relative, scam with her. ”
** laughed angrily and said: "I can forgive you once, otherwise you will be responsible for framing the police like this."
To tell the truth, this old man is very kind, otherwise a person like you who escaped and caused an accident would have to pay at least 200,000 yuan in compensation, what are you still clamoring for here? The man was scared, if it was calculated according to the escape, it was not just a matter of compensation, so he hurriedly said: "Compensation, I will pay according to what you said, as long as you are not held responsible." ”
My grandmother and I never expected to get so much money, and she said happily, "Son, we can buy a small house, we finally have our own house." ”
When the policeman heard this, he sighed and said, "Old man, what kind of house do you want, I'll help you inquire." ”
Grandma said, "Thank you, thank you really, my granddaughter and I, as long as we have a cheap house, and leave some money for our granddaughter." ”
This police comrade's name is Zhao Yi, and he took good care of my grandmother and me, and helped us buy a second-hand house, which cost 80,000 yuan.
Grandma was a little reluctant at the time, but I felt really good after going to see the house.
As long as it is cleaned up, grandma can move in after she is discharged from the hospital, and she can rest better.
Uncle Zhao knew that we didn't have any money, so he asked a few colleagues to clean up with me after work.
He helped with the transfer of ownership and other procedures, and when I finally got the real estate certificate, it was written in my name.
Grandma said happily: "My Huanhuan finally has a home, even if grandma is not there one day, you have a place to live, grandma is relieved." ”
Grandma came home after being discharged from the hospital, we didn't have much money left, she was very anxious, and she wanted to go out to pick up waste and make money before her body was completely **.
I still have to go to school, and Uncle Zhao borrowed money from us again.
During the holidays, he helped me get a job as a library helper and a job cleaning the hallways for my grandmother.
My grandmother and I are really grateful to him.
Life is slowly starting to get better, and grandma can earn 3,500 yuan a month, which is enough for the two of us to live.
I also go to work on weekends and holidays, and my grandma and I want to earn more money.
My grandmother wanted me to save up for college, and I wanted her to have an easier time when she went to college.
By the time I found out, it was already the next morning.
I was frightened and didn't know what to do, so I called Uncle Zhao, and he helped me inform my uncle, who found a car to send my grandmother home and set up a mourning hall at the door.
I knelt in front of the mourning hall and saw my grandmother off.
When I got home, my uncle and aunt came to the door and said that the house was originally my grandmother's and now it should be theirs, and asked me to move out quickly.
When Uncle Zhao learned that I had been admitted to university, he suggested that I rent out the house as one of my income.
Otherwise, the eldest aunt will definitely be very unwilling and will come every day.
I thought about it and asked him to help rent out the house.
Then I came to school early by myself and found a youth hostel outside for half a month.
After the start of school, I lived in the dormitory and was busy with part-time work, so I spent three years like this.
Chen Huan smiled and said, "Quietly, the truth is not so miserable.
That house has been renting out for 800 yuan a month, and I don't dare to go back because the uncle will make trouble.
Although I don't have a relationship with them, we have a grandma's affection between us.
Regarding my parents, I haven't seen my dad since I was 6 years old, and I haven't seen my mom since I was 8 years old.
I don't have their ***, it's actually good. ”
Jing Jing blinked vigorously, not wanting to let herself cry, and said, "Huanhuan, let's have another drink."
If you want, you can come to my house together when you have time in the future, and we will be good sisters for life. ”
Chen Huan also tried to hold back his tears and said, "Okay, quietly, let's be good sisters for a lifetime." ”
She hugged her knees, tears remained, and said: "Jingjing, I don't dare to go to see my grandmother until the Qingming Festival, I go every year on the day of the spring breeze."
When I return to the county seat, I will go to Uncle Zhao and have a meal together.
For me, after my grandmother died, he was more like a relative.
Jingjing, I am actually very happy, and now that I have you as a good sister, I believe that grandma must be very relieved. ”
She said softly, "Grandma, I'm doing well now, don't worry."
Life is like this, sometimes you go through hibernation, you want to hide from the world, but you still see the sun again. ”
Look down and don't want to think about anything else, and try to move forward until you look up again, and you'll be surprised to find that the things that hold you back are behind you and the things that bother you are no longer there.
