"You eat this for lunch?"

Ma Lian obviously didn't expect Mrs. Wei to come over, and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Sister Wei! I'm used to it. This makes me feel full after eating."

Most importantly save money.

Ma Lian ate two-faced steamed buns, which were made from cornmeal and white flour. This was not something Ma Lian ate because she thought cornmeal was a whole grain and was healthier.

The Ma family is a poor household. During the New Year and festivals, the village will send rice, flour, grain and oil. This is barely enough for Ma Lian to eat alone, but the children who go to school at home will come back during the Chinese New Year. This food is not enough. In order to feed the children When they could eat rice and white flour, Ma Lian ground the corn grown in her garden into flour. She usually ate Erhe Noodles steamed buns, and pickles were also grown in her own garden. Ma Lian rarely cooked. First, There are no vegetables at home except dried vegetables. Secondly, cooking is time-consuming. After returning from Mrs. Wei's place, Ma Lian will also do handwork, weaving car seat cushions for others. A set costs 80 yuan, which is enough for Ma Lian in a week. By knitting two sets, I can earn more than 600 yuan in extra income a month.

Mrs. Wei didn't say much and put the food directly in front of Ma Lian. The whole village knew what was going on with the Ma family. A widow had to support three children in college. Not to mention living expenses, the tuition fee for three children was just one cent. Not a small expense.

Ma Lian suddenly became anxious.

"Sister Wei, I really don't want to eat it, please take it back quickly."

"You can eat as much as you are told. I look at how thin you are, and if you just eat like this, sooner or later you will collapse in front of our house from exhaustion. Why, you still have to rely on me?"

Mrs. Wei stared at her eyes and said:

Ma Lian smiled bitterly.

"Sister Wei, I know you are doing it for my own good, but I really don't want to eat. People who work must follow work rules. If I ask for 500 yuan, I can't eat your food."

Old Mrs. Wei said in her heart that she is an old man.

"You can eat. From now on, you will take care of the toilet and other things in our house. I will give you an extra 500 yuan, and meals will be included, including breakfast, lunch and dinner."

Ma Lian was stunned.

The hand holding the bun trembled slightly. The reason why Ma Lian was so cautious after working outside for so many years was because she had seen too many bosses of all kinds. She knew deeply that some people may be very nice to you on the surface, but when interests are involved When Ma Lian asked, her face changed instantly. The reason why Ma Lian refused to eat was because she was afraid that because of her temporary greed, Sister Wei would take this matter and deduct her salary in the future. After all, the money is in the hands of the boss, and people can do whatever they say.

Looking at Ma Lian in a daze, Mrs. Wei couldn't help but yell loudly.

"What are you looking at? Why don't you eat quickly and wait for me to feed you? It's really not troublesome enough."

After yelling, Mrs. Wei returned to her room with a look of pain on her face.

Guoguo looked at Mrs. Wei curiously and asked Ma Wenlan:

"Sister Wenlan, wasn't Sister Wei fine when she went out just now? Why did she look like this when she came back?"

Inside the house, Mrs. Wei lay on the bed and moaned.

"Ouch, it feels so uncomfortable!"

The original salary of 3500 yuan has now been directly increased by 1000 yuan. Cleaning is 4500 yuan a month, and she wants to do it too!

Mrs. Wei was in pain.

"Ding, the system has received 134 cow coins!"

"Cough cough!"

"4500, just 4500. Anyway, I'm not short of money now!"

Mrs. Wei patted her bed and said with a smile:

Ma Lian, who was in the dormitory lounge, had red eyes. Only she knew how much she had sacrificed for her children over the years. Due to long-term malnutrition, the 43-year-old had amenorrhea.

Ma Lian picked up her chopsticks, smelled the aroma of the food, and swallowed. Everyone in the village knew that Mrs. Wei's food was the most fragrant. In the summer, everyone rushed to buy Sister Wei's food. Although it was not expensive, she had never bought it before. Ma Lian finally couldn't help it and started to eat it.

A cafeteria of a university in Haishi.

The two girls walked into the cafeteria together. Because the school was on holiday, most of the students had gone home. Many stalls in the cafeteria were closed, and there were only a few students in the cafeteria.

"Two taels of rice and one portion of fried shredded potatoes."

A clear female voice came, and the aunt who was cooking the meal knew who the person in front of her was without raising her head. For four years, this girl has basically been eating like this.

"Two dollars and a half in total."

"okay."

The girl swiped the hotel card on the machine, and the balance showed 65.

After the aunt served the rice, she directly put a large spoonful of shredded potatoes on the girl's rice. Then she looked at the little braised pork left in the lunch box next to her and gave it to the girl. She also scooped it up. A ladle of broth was poured on the rice.

"Seeing that there's no one around now, I'll give you the rest. Take it and eat it."

"Thank you aunt!"

The girl happily sat down next to another girl with a dinner plate. Seeing that there was nothing next to the girl, she couldn't help but ask:

"Are you going to lose weight and not eat at night?"

"Come on, I almost got hungry last time. The spicy hotpot I wanted wasn't ready yet."

"Then I'll wait for you for a while, so that I don't have to finish eating early and you'll be greedy for me."

Seeing the girl eating shredded potatoes and rice again, the yellow-haired girl couldn't help but ask:

"Lin Jing, didn't you just get this month's part-time salary? Didn't you say your salary was more than 6000? Why don't you have a good meal?"

The girl named Lin Jing, the eldest daughter of Widow Ma’s family, heard her friend’s question and said helplessly:

"It's only 6000, is it enough for what?"

"No, haven't you already saved the cost of your internship next semester from your usual part-time job?"

The girl with yellow hair had a question mark on her face.

"Have you forgotten, I have a twin brother and a sister who are better at studies than me. How about they get admitted to the same university? I've got this, but their tuition fees for next year haven't been settled yet?"

Zhao Yue opened her mouth but said nothing. She was Lin Jing's good friend and knew everything about her family.

"Okay, I heard that the dormitories and the canteen will be closed tomorrow. Your part-time job won't be finished for another seven or eight days. During this time, can you stay at our house?"

Lin Jing's hand holding the chopsticks paused.

"Is your elder brother at home?"

Zhao Yue nodded.

"I'm at home. I don't know what happened in the past six months, but my eldest brother was suddenly transferred back."

A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Lin Jing's face, but it was quickly hidden.

Said casually:

"It's okay. Anyway, there are only a few days left. If I go to your house, I will have to trouble my aunt. Besides, in these few days, I will tell the boss that I can stay for a few nights anywhere."
