Su Jin took her two children and settled in a place called Sanliu Lane in the east of the city. Ancheng Girls' High School was across the street from Sanliu Lane.
Xiao Sanli's eyes widened as he watched his mother, who was crying for money along the way, happily pay the rent for the year. He thought about how he had racked his brains and wasted a lot of things in order to make money on the way, and he was afraid of his temperament when he came to the provincial capital. The changed mother sold him for money.
If he had known that his mother was rich, why would he have bothered?
Su Jin noticed that Xiao Sanli looked wrong and didn't say anything. It wasn't until she entered the house that she took out two small yellow croakers from the baggage she kept with her. She didn't stop Xiao Sanli when he was about to touch them.
"Mom, where did you get rich? No wonder you brought me and my sister to the provincial capital. It turns out that your family is rich."
Xiao Sanli is now willing to call Xiao Junqiu sister, because when he was on the road, if he had a bad attitude towards Xiao Junqiu, Su Jin would teach him a lesson.
When Su Jin taught him a lesson, he did not beat him roughly like in Youfu Village. Instead, he asked him to copy the "Book of Filial Piety" and write words on the ground with tree branches. If he failed to meet the requirements, he would not be allowed to eat or sleep.
This was undoubtedly a torture for Xiao Sanli, who was eager to earn money by running errands, fetching water and buying tea for the merchants, so he quickly compromised, wouldn't he just call her sister? Just bark, he won't lose a piece of meat.
But even though he compromised on the surface, Xiao Sanli was still very unconvinced in his heart. He didn't understand, are all adults so moody? In the past, he clearly hated his sister for liking him, but now it seems that he doesn't like or hate anyone.
He didn't know whether his mother suddenly changed like this or whether she had always been like this. He couldn't figure it out, so he decided not to.
He wants to make money, make a lot of money, and become a wealthy family like the Xiang family, so that his friends will not play with him and his classmates will not laugh at him.
Su Jin looked at Xiao Sanli's little wealth and shook his head. When Xiao Sanli was about to hide the gold bar, he clapped his hand and said, "This money doesn't belong to you, nor does it belong to An An. This money belongs to me. As for what I am going to use it for, of course I won’t tell you.”
"Then...how are we going to live? I'm going to school, and my sister is going to middle school." Xiao Sanli touched the beaten hand, feeling a little anxious.
Xiao Junqiu touched his thick clothes, said nothing, and looked at Su Jin with a confused expression.
Su Jin took out some more silver coins from the bag and said, "Sanli, on the way here, my mother thought you were smart, able to make money, and able to support yourself with your own skills, so you read the books in our yard. , as long as you gather them all in the small room on the left today, I will give you one silver dollar. You can use it for anything. As for your tuition, I will be responsible for it. This is my responsibility, but no matter how much it is, I will It's up to you.
An'an, you are an expert at organizing housework. After organizing your new home, you can get two silver dollars. Along the way, you have also gained an understanding of the amount of money. One silver dollar can do many things, it depends on whether you can grasp it. "
Originally, Xiao Sanli was dissatisfied with the smaller reward he received than Xiao Junqiu, but seeing Su Jin's meaningful words, he immediately suppressed his dissatisfaction. He was afraid that if he fought for it again, he wouldn't even get a single silver dollar. .
The two children were busy packing their things. The door of the house was open. The neighbors passing by were curious about the new movers. When they came to see them, they found that Su Jin's family had brought many books. Out of awe for the scholars, they showed great respect to Su Jin. The impression of home suddenly improved a lot.
Coupled with the fact that Xiao Junqiu is well-behaved and polite, and Xiao Sanli is clever and sweet-tongued, everyone feels more and more that Su Jin's family is easy to get along with.
When Xiao Sanli saw that everyone liked him so much, he suddenly realized that there was no harm in talking sweetly. On the contrary, if he continued to say things that no one liked to hear, he would not only be scolded by his mother, but also be hated by others. He didn't like the feeling of being hated by others.
Su Jin took her children to socialize in the neighborhood, and after sending them to school, she started working on her own business, which was embroidery.
The original owner's embroidery skills were good. Su Jin had experienced many worlds and had many tricks in his mind, so he didn't have to worry about selling it.
The days passed like running water, and six years passed in a daze. During these six years, Su Jin did not deliberately use words to correct Jun Qiu and San Li, but only carefully selected a good environment for them and brought them into contact with more Over time, even the heartless Sanli, who always regards wealth as life, will find ways to lend a helping hand when he sees the suffering in the world.
Su Jin remembered that when Sanli first saw the poor refugees or the wars recorded in newspapers, he would think why they were the only ones suffering. Maybe this was God's arrangement and no one could help.
Now, Sanlihui is thinking about why they are always the ones suffering and how they can get out of this vicious circle.
As for Junqiu, when she was young, she believed that her lifelong mission was to take care of her mother and younger brother, and to repay her parents for their kindness in raising her. She had to be filial and obedient, because she was a daughter, and she wanted to support her younger brother. , obey his younger brother, because his younger brother is the only male in the Xiao family.
But after going to school and meeting more people, she realized that she was herself first, her parents' daughter, and her brother's sister.
Although she is a girl, she can still continue the Xiao family because her surname is also Xiao.
But at the same time, her growth brought her many confusions. Her mother could not bring her the answers. She could only read more books in an attempt to find the answers. In order to eliminate the confusion in her heart, she said goodbye to her mother and brother. , I went to study abroad in country F with my work-study classmates.
When Xiao Sanli and his mother were seeing off their sister at the ferry, they suddenly felt yearning for some reason. Xiao Junqiu had his own goals, and he didn't know what to do now. He turned around and saw the reluctance on Su Jin's face, and couldn't help but murmur in a low voice. : "I didn't see how kind you were to my sister when she was here, but I couldn't bear to see her after she left."
Su Jin looked over, and Xiao San immediately raised his head, "Mom, I didn't say anything."
"Let's go, let's send you back first. I have to sell melon seeds in front of the cinema later. Master Li and I paid tuition to learn to fry melon seeds. Today is the first day of training. I have to pay the tuition this month." Earn it back." Xiao Sanli said, squatting down, and Su Jin released his feet. However, because the feet were bound for too long, they did not recover well. It would hurt when walking or standing for a long time.
Since she started to treat her feet, every time she went out was torture. Originally, Jun Qiu didn't let her come today, but she wanted to say goodbye this time and didn't know when they could see each other again, so she came.
"Mom, you tell me, why are you letting yourself go so well? Wasn't it good before? You walked with a thumping sound, and you still had the strength to hit me. Now if you want to hit me, you won't be able to chase me when I run away. Come on." After Xiao Sanli carried Su Jin on his back, he suddenly realized that the tall and majestic mother in his impression was so light. No wonder his sister could carry her from home to the ferry.
"Didn't you go to school? You should be able to understand Mom. This foot binding not only imprisons Mom's feet, but also her vision and knowledge. When Mom wants to see your father again, he can see the changes in me.
How many girls are unable to travel far because their feet are bound, and cannot fulfill their ambitions. "
"Mom, what are your ambitions?" Xiao Sanli asked.
"Train you into an upright and good young man." Su Jin said.
Xiao Sanli smiled. He felt that he was upright.
After returning home, Su Jin sat on a stool and woke up the system in standby mode. The system was surprised that Su Jin had never contacted him during the mission.
"0378, I feel like I'm sick..."
[The health status of the parasitic body of the worker is being tested. The test is in progress. The test result is: healthy. The data shows that you can live to be 98 years old and you still have 48 years left to live.]
[The mental state of the tasker is being tested. The test is in progress. The test result... is... on the verge of collapse. Treatment suggestion: Leave this world and go to the vacation world]
[Please host choose whether to leave this world. ]
Faced with this problem, Su Jin thought about it for a long time, should she leave? She felt that since she came to this world, she didn't know why. She had no desire to work, and no urgency to complete the task. Could it be that her desire to go back to the past and change her destiny had changed?
This knowledge made Su Jin a little scared. One world after another, she didn't know how many worlds she had experienced. She had experienced so many worlds that she suddenly felt like she couldn't live.
What can she change if she goes back to the past?
Su Jin touched her heart. She had been living in the form of a spiritual body all year round. She hadn't experienced the uncomfortable feeling in her heart for a long time.
"Just wait until this mission is over." Su Jin made a difficult decision.
She didn't know whether this mission would succeed or fail, but whether it succeeded or failed, it might be better than if she quit midway.
[Taskmaster, please confirm your choice again? ]
"Yes, I am sure to stay." Su Jin said.
[In order to ensure the safety of the missionaries, I will take you out of this world when you are in danger. At that time, there will be new missionaries to continue the mission. ]
After the system finished speaking, it went offline. Su Jin sat in the room until dark.
When Xiao Sanli came back, he saw that there were no lights in the room. After lighting the candles, he saw Su Jin in a daze with an ugly face. He immediately ignored the pain in his body and asked immediately: "Mom, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?" Comfortable?"
Although Xiao Sanli didn't understand why his mother still asked him and Xiao Junqiu to work and study while their family was rich. When he was nine years old, he had to shine shoes for others in order to earn money and was humiliated. At that time, he was thinking about how he could be like this. Where is the mother?
Later, he saw many people who had been displaced and homeless due to the war. When he saw people who had gone to the city to seek a living but still couldn't feed their children because of bad times, he was shocked to realize that what he had been practicing in the past few years was to survive. ability.
He could mend clothes, had good calligraphy and could copy books, and had honed his eloquence over many years of selling flowers and newspapers. In order to earn money as a guide, he traveled all over the streets and alleys of the provincial capital, met many people from all walks of life, and learned how to fry melon seeds. Straw...
These things can become his means of making a living in the future. His mother is really teaching him how to live in troubled times.
Therefore, even if he complained about his mother when he was very miserable and tired, he didn't want anything to happen to her. He didn't know what he would do if something happened to her.
"It's okay, I'm hungry."
"Mom...ah, what, are you hungry?" Xiao Sanli didn't react.
"Mom, didn't you eat anything for lunch today?"
"My feet hurt. I don't want to move. I want to eat your fried rice." Su Jin said.
"Well, the price of rice has increased recently. I went out of the city to buy some dried sweet potatoes in the evening. Can I steam the dried sweet potatoes for you to eat?" When Xiao Sanli heard about the fried rice, he felt sorry for both the oil and the rice.
"Okay." Su Jin nodded.
Xiao Sanli walked to the door and suddenly slapped his head, hey, he hasn't discussed with his mother about the reward for cooking yet, what a loss!
