Zhao Yue sighed heavily, looked at the thin best friend in front of him and said helplessly:

"I'm really convinced by you. By the way, how have you considered that matter?"

Lin Jing asked back:

"What's going on?"

Zhao Yue's eyes suddenly widened.

"Can you forget this? About studying abroad?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing showed no expression and said directly:

"What are you thinking about? I'm not going."

Zhao Yue suddenly looked at Lin Jing like a fool.

"Are you stupid? There are only four places in our school, and you are the only one in our college. Why don't you go? What a rare opportunity this is, and it is publicly funded to study abroad. What do you think? This is a good thing. If it were my turn, my mother would probably be grinning from ear to ear for a year."

Lin Jing put down her chopsticks, looked directly at Zhao Yue and said:

"Although it is public expense, you still have to bear the cost of living by yourself. It costs tens of thousands a year abroad. Do you think our family can afford it? Moreover, our younger brother and sister are only sophomores this year, so there are more places to spend money. , they study well, if they want to take a postgraduate entrance examination or something, don’t they need money? I plan to get directly employed next year, earn more money, so that my mother will not have to work so hard."

Zhao Yue looked at Lin Jing blankly.

Lin Jing even laughed.

"Why are you looking at me like that? You've had nothing to worry about since you were young, so you don't have to think about these things. I'm the eldest son in the family, so I'm also responsible for these things."

"Okay, eat quickly, your spicy hot pot is getting cold."

"Ugh"

Zhao Yue sighed, and then said casually:

"If you were my sister-in-law, my mother would always like you. She would say that I am ignorant and a prodigal every day!"

Lin Jing lost her grip and suddenly dropped her chopsticks on the table...

It was dinner time at an electronics factory in Eastern Province.

A young man and woman are sitting together eating.

The facial features between men and women are similar. The boy looked at the girl flatteringly and said:

"Little sister, give me your phone to play with for a while tonight!"

The girl put the mobile phone on the table into her pocket.

These two children are the other two children of Widow Ma.

Because the family is relatively poor and the brother and sister are in the same university, they have always shared a mobile phone. They say it is shared. In fact, the mobile phone has been occupied by Lin Yi for a long time, and the reason for the occupation is very good. This was when he was admitted to university. At that time, the uncle of the two brothers and sisters bought it, but he only bought a mobile phone for the younger sister at home.

"Old girl, just give me your number and let me see if anyone can talk to me!"

Lin Yi shook his head.

Seeing this, Lin Shuo could only take out 20 yuan from his pocket and hand it over.

Lin Yi still shook his head.

"50, I'll lend it to you for one night."

Lin Shuo immediately shouted:

"Lin Yi, are you too open-minded?"

"Little sister, can we discuss it, 30? Your brother and I don't have much pocket money!"

Lin Yi asked:

"Didn't you just get your salary? I got more than 5000. You did more than me last month. You must have 7000!"

Lin Shuo pouted and said:

"That can't be spent. I have to give it to mom when I go back during the Chinese New Year."

"Okay, here you go, remember to charge me after playing."

"Don't worry, old girl."

Brothers Lin Shuo and Lin Yi were introduced to a local electronics processing factory by their classmates as soon as they had a holiday. Many of the factory workers were student workers like their brother and sister. After the holiday, they came here to work, and they were paid on a piece-rate basis. It's all up to you whether you do more or less. Lin Shuo barely had any rest last month. He felt sorry for his sister and forced Lin Yi to rest for a few days. He did more than Lin Yi.

Growing up in a single-parent family, the three brothers and sisters all saw how hard it was for the mother to raise three children by herself. Children from poor families have long been the masters of the family. This is not just for words.

In the evening, Lin Jing returned to the dormitory to pack the things she wanted to take home.

"Xiaojing, are you really not going home with me?"

Zhao Yue's family is from Haishi. If it weren't for being with Lin Jing, they would have moved back home as soon as the vacation started.

Facing Zhao Yue's expectant eyes, Lin Jing shook her head.

"Forget it, I'm really fine. I have a ticket for the 27th and I'll go home. I'm already 21 today, so don't worry!"

Seeing Lin Jing's tough attitude, Zhao Yue could only nod helplessly.

"Okay, I'll go home today after packing my things. Our whole family is going to my grandma's place tomorrow morning, so we won't be able to stay here with you tonight."

Lin Jing said with a smile:

"Don't worry, go back as soon as possible. I won't miss you."

Half an hour later, Lin Jing sent Zhao Yue out of the dormitory. Watching Zhao Yue get into her car, Lin Jing said a simple hello to Zhao's mother and returned to the dormitory.

Back in the dormitory, Lin Jing opened her drawer and took out a filled-in application form for studying abroad.

Just when Lin Jing was about to tear up the application form, her phone suddenly rang.

"mom!"

Widow Ma on the other end of the phone told her eldest daughter all the recent events at home, especially the fact that she had a new job recently.

For Widow Ma, Lin Jing is not only the eldest among the children, but also her backbone.

"Xiaojing, don't worry about going home now. Mom can earn 7000 yuan a month now, and your grandma Wei also provides food. This time, mom will give each of you 500 yuan more for living expenses every month! "

Widow Ma showed off her salary to her daughter excitedly, and suddenly thought of what Sister Yue Hong of Chu Street said to her when she had nothing to do today.

"Xiaojing, Mom has met a lot of new people recently, and they are all knowledgeable. Some of the elder sisters came from Beijing. They know that you study well, so they all suggested to me that you should continue studying and take the exam. What graduate student?”

Lin Jing, who was holding her mobile phone in the dormitory, remained silent for a long time.

"Xiaojing, why don't you talk anymore? Are you tired? I'm going to hang up now and won't disturb you anymore. You go to bed early!"

"Mom, don't hang up yet, I have something to tell you."

Lin Jing hesitated for a moment before telling her mother about studying abroad.

Widow Ma on the other end of the phone was full of excitement in her words.

"Xiaojing, you are indeed my daughter. She is excellent. This is great, great. I will burn some paper for your father tomorrow."

Widow Ma's hand holding the phone was shaking with excitement.

"Mom, don't get excited. I haven't thought about it yet. Although it's public money, you still have to prepare your own living expenses. It costs tens of thousands a year, which is more than what I spend on school now."

Lin Jing thought that after telling her mother about living expenses, her mother would sigh as before, but unexpectedly, her mother said casually:

"Oh, Xiaojing, how much did Mom think it would be? Don't worry, our family can earn 2 to 3 yuan a year, and your mother can also earn 7 to 8 yuan a year. Are you afraid? I can’t afford for my daughter to study abroad. Oh my, it’s great this time. My daughter is the first one in our village to study abroad. My daughter, I’m really proud of my mother.”

As she spoke, Widow Ma suddenly choked up.

Having such an outstanding child is the meaning of Widow Ma's hard work in this life. No matter how hard life is, she still feels happy!
