"Yu Bing, it's fine as long as you finish university. It's not like you don't know your family's situation. In the past, you relied on selling the wood on the mountain to earn some income. Now, the wood on the mountain is almost sold out, and there's no quota.”Yu Liangsong advised helplessly.
"Dad, there's a financial crisis now. What good job can we find? Most of our classmates have chosen to study for postgraduate studies. I want to study too. Besides, I passed the postgraduate entrance examination at Central South University. Many people wanted to go but couldn't get in. If he didn't learn more knowledge now, would he have to wait until he was old? Help me borrow some money first. I'll return it to you after I finish my postgraduate studies.”
"We can borrow whatever you want. We have to have someone willing to lend it to us. I hurt my waist when I was setting up the wooden house two years ago. I spent a lot of money, but I can't do heavy work and can't earn money. Everyone in the village knows that! In the countryside, without skills, there was no way to earn money other than working hard. What can your mom do to earn money? Other than your uncle, it's not easy to borrow money from others.”
"If the child wants to go to school, he should. The only thing we lack in this life is education. Now that the child is willing to learn, we'll think of another way.”Zeng Sanmei, who was knitting, said. She had been silent just now and had been listening attentively to the conversation between the father and son. They had worked hard for the sake of their son. Their son was going to study, not to do bad things.
"Mom, thank you for supporting me. I won't let you down. When I learn well, I'll definitely be filial to you and Dad.”
"Don't be happy too early. Your mother is an old woman in the countryside who is almost 50 years old. What kind of job can she find in the city? Are you really only thinking about yourself?”
"Old Yu, don't say that. I went to wash the dishes and wipe the floor, but I still couldn't do it. Even Wang Guaihua could do a good job in the city, how could I be inferior to her?”
"Dad, when I recover, I'll have money for you and Mom to spend. It's as if I'm only doing this for myself. It's better to suffer a short pain than a long one. Studying for a master's degree is an investment. Please believe me. There will definitely be rich returns in the future. Since Dad thinks that I'm unfilial and doesn't agree with my point of view, then fine, I won't go.”
"Yu Bing, Mom knows that you're a filial and sensible child. It's a good thing to go to graduate school. Didn't you say that many people want to go but can't get in? I've already passed the exams. It's not a problem for Mom to find a job. You can just focus on your studies. Don't say anything else. This matter has been decided.”
Zeng Sanmei's firm words silenced everyone.
Yu Liangsong, who had never thought of living a rich and noble life, did not care about any generous returns at all. However, he hoped that his son, who had a certain degree of education, could raise his son for old age. It would be best if he returned to his hometown. If he was really unwilling, he could work hard outside for a few years and then come back. However, he did not expect that young people nowadays would only think about the city all day long. The mountains were high and the rivers were far away. Before they had enough time to study, his mother was already white-haired and still had a few years to live. How could he ask her to wash the dishes and mop the floor for others? Forget it. Since the child's mother had agreed, he did not say anything more.
As for Yu Bing, his mother's selfless sacrifice made him especially touched. He would definitely study hard and not disappoint his mother.
Zeng Sanmei was usually the closest to Mu Zixi's mother, Yu Xiuqing. She had made up her mind and hurried to her house to discuss this matter with her.
When Zeng Sanmei entered, Yu Xiuqing was drying the red peppers in the dustpan.
"Xiuqing, I want to go to the city to find a job.”
"Oh, actually, I wanted to go a few days ago, but I was afraid of causing trouble for Zi Xi. Now that you want to go, let's go together!”
"Okay, I have to go. Yu Bing is going to graduate school and I have to earn tuition for her.”
"Why not? I can't farm at home now. I can only do those vegetable fields and can't earn money. I also want to go out and work to lighten Zixi's burden.”
"Alright."
"Where are we going?"
"My daughter works in Xiangfu. Let's go there. There's a place to stay.”
"Then we'll leave the day after tomorrow."
"I'll look at the calendar. Wait a moment." Yu Xiuqing said as she went to get the calendar." The day after tomorrow is the eighth day of the lunar calendar. It's a good day to get married and go out.”
The two women were about to leave. After they separated, the two of them went to prepare themselves.
After dinner, Mu Zixi took a change of clothes and was about to take a shower when her phone rang. It was her mother.
"Zixi, Yu Bing wants to study for a master's degree. Your second aunt wants to come to Xiangfu City to find a job. If anything happens, the two of us will take care of each other.”
"Mom, that's good. I can see you often, but don't look for a job. You're not in good health. If you're tired, you'll spend more money.”
"I'm in good health now and can work.”
"We'll talk about work later. When are you and Second Aunt coming up? I'll help you rent a house first.”
"Alright, we'll pack up and come the day after tomorrow.”
"Okay, Mom. I'll look for a house for you after work tomorrow.”
"The decision was a little rushed. I still have to pack up, so I'll cut it off first.”
"Alright." Mu Zixi put down the phone and told Shen Xiangmi about it, asking her to help take a look.
Mu Zixi was so excited that she couldn't sleep for a few hours when she thought about how she would be able to see her mother the day after tomorrow.
Two days later, it was the weekend. Mu Zixi and Shen Xiangmi waited for half an hour at the Xiangfu bus station before they received Yu Xiuqing and Zeng Sanmei, who were travel-worn and had bags of various sizes.
After not seeing her mother for a few months, she had aged a little. The flesh on her face was saggy and saggy, and there were more wrinkles. There were also a few strands of silver hair mixed in her black hair. His body was still thin and weak, but he had hunched over a lot. Mu Zixi looked at her mother and then at Shen Xiangmi, who was rosy and youthful. There was an indescribable sadness in her heart. His mother was old and had given all her youth and energy to him. Although she was not as good-looking as Xiangmi, she was still young. Now, her mother still had to continue to worry about her. Although he was concerned about his mother and often called her, most of his salary was transferred to his mother. However, compared to his mother's efforts, his little bit was nothing. Who said that an inch of grass heart could repay three spring sunshine?
When the four of them arrived at Mu Zixi's rented room, Yu Xiuqing asked,""Zixi, did you help me and your second aunt find a house? We can rent one room. Mommy will give you the money.”
"Mom, I found it. No need to give me money. I'll use the money to buy a computer first. I'll just deduct next month's salary.”
"Zixi, why don't you and Auntie stay here, and Auntie Zeng and I stay over there?”Shen Xiangmi suggested.
"There's no need. I'm more used to living with Aunt Zixi. It's more comfortable for young people like you to live together.”
"Alright then! I don't have a house in this neighborhood. I'll rent it for you on Xisha Road. It's about 20 minutes 'walk from here.”
"Sure, it's not far. We can walk around often on weekends.”Zeng Sanmei said happily.
This neighborhood was the cheapest place in Xiangfu City. The economy was bad this year, and although the houses here were dilapidated, they had become gunshots.
Yu Xiuqing and Zeng Sanmei didn't mention anything about work. This was what Yu Xiuqing told them. She wanted to find a good job before talking to Mu Zixi, so it was useless for Mu Zixi to object. Sure enough, they didn't mention it, and neither did Mu Zixi. They only prepared delicious food for the two elders, while Yu Xiuqing kept taking out things for Mu Zixi. There were cured meat, half-dried chili, pig's blood balls, eggplants…As she took them, she reminded Shen Xiangmi. She was a little stunned. It was so blissful to have her mother by her side. Unfortunately, she didn't know where her mother was now.
Yu Xiuqing and Zeng Sanmei moved into Butterfly Garden after dinner. That place was much better than the Wen Qing Yuan that Mu Zixi rented.
When Mu Zixi rented the house yesterday, she had cleaned it up and bought some necessities. The few of them went in and put the things away so that Mother Mu and the others could rest. Before leaving, Mu Zixi said to Yu Xiuqing,""Mom, don't look for a job. You're sick and healthy.”
"Got it." Yu Xiuqing replied, but she wanted to stay at home and clean up the next day. Later, she went to the housekeeping company to ask. She was not a person who could stay idle. In the past, she had a vegetable garden at home. If she did not find a job here, she would definitely fall ill from boredom.
Zeng Sanmei thought about how her son needed money to study for a master's degree, so she went to a housekeeping agency the next day. There were several jobs in front of her, and she did not hesitate to choose Forget Not Western Restaurant, which had the longest working hours and the highest salary. Her basic monthly salary was 1500 yuan, and with overtime pay, she would receive 2500 to 3000 yuan. This was something she would never have dared to imagine in the countryside. She signed the contract and called home to tell Yu Liangsong the good news.
Yu Xiuqing saw that Zeng Sanmei had found a job. It was more boring for her to stay at home alone, so she went to the housekeeping company the next day. The middle-aged woman saw that Zeng Sanmei looked like Yu Xiuqing, dressed well, spoke gently and reasonably, and had a gentle gaze. She wanted to recommend Zeng Sanmei to be a nanny in a rich family. This kind of job was relatively easier. Of course, the salary and benefits were relatively lower, but the cost-effectiveness ratio was still high.
Yu Xiuqing looked at a few houses and finally chose to go to the Long family villa. The reason why she went there was because of the agent's enthusiastic recommendation. The agent's woman told her that this house hired several nannies, and each nanny had a division of labor. There were originally enough nannies at home, but recently, the male owner's health was not as good as before, so he wanted to add a maid to take care of tea and medicine. It would definitely be the easiest. Moreover, the salary of 1500 a month was not too low.
There were still many good people in the world, not only in the countryside, but also in the city. He was sick, so it was indeed not suitable for him to do too tiring work. Yu Xiuqing signed the contract gratefully. The job that Yu Xiuqing found was Long Fei's home. The person she had to serve was Long Tianyu.
Yu Xiuqing passed the three-day trial period smoothly. Although she was sick, she was able to work quickly and steadily. Most importantly, she was quiet and did not speak much. The Long family was generally satisfied with her, so she quickly passed the trial period.
