In the evening, the family gathered around the table and ate happily. Seeing that the second sister had a mobile phone, Gong Xuebin tentatively said, "Sister, I also want a mobile phone..."

After the mother who was eating heard this, she glanced at her son. A mobile phone costs more than 2000 yuan. If her family hadn't been well-off and able to support themselves, they would have been classified as poor. Her grades are usually not as good as her second daughter's, and now she is still thinking about getting a mobile phone. She is really a waste. "You might as well devote your time to studying. I'll buy it for you after you graduate from high school."

Gong Xuebin couldn't help but feel disappointed when he heard that he was the only one in the same class who didn't have a mobile phone. Usually when they were playing with their mobile phones after class, he would be lying if he said he didn't envy him, but he also knew that playing with mobile phones would cause problems. He couldn't guarantee that he would have the strength to control his heart. Thinking of this, he could only pull at the rice in the bowl in disappointment.

"You have your final exams in a few days, and you have to take classes in your senior year of high school. I don't have money to buy you a mobile phone in a short period of time. But before the National Day, your academic performance has been improving, so I will buy you a mobile phone. But , if your grades drop after buying a mobile phone, I will confiscate the mobile phone and give it back to you after you leave your job. I only have one chance, will you accept it?"

Gong Xuebin, who originally had given up any hope, felt as if he was listening to the sound of nature after hearing the elder sister's words. He couldn't help but nodded happily and said, "Definitely! I guarantee that my grades will not be lowered!"

When the mother heard that her eldest daughter bought a mobile phone for her son, she couldn't help but become anxious and said quickly, "Why buy Xuebin a mobile phone now? When you were still studying, you had so much money, you might as well save it and build it for your family in the future. A new house, and giving him a mobile phone now will harm your brother. You won’t go to college, but don’t harm your brother and he won’t go to college.”

When Gong Caiwen heard her mother's scolding, she felt unhappy in her heart. She couldn't help but retort, "Is that because I can't go to college? I was admitted to the Normal College in Guangdong Province. Although it was a junior college, it was not because of my family background. Are you too poor to go to college? My high school classmates are now sophomores. As for me, I have been working hard in society for two years."

"Okay, okay, it's rare to get together, so don't say such angry words. It's true that we were very poor then, and we are poor now. The money we saved may only be enough for my second sister to go to college, but we may not even be able to pay for living expenses. "Yes. Your mother said this because she actually hopes you won't spend money randomly." My father said calmly.

Gong Caiwen curled her lips, knowing that her father was just telling Xini that her family was poor and could not afford to go to college. She said that she did not hate her parents, but that was a lie, because her family had no money, so she could not go to college. Even they couldn't borrow money for her to study. In the end, she had no choice but to go out to work in the society to make money.

Now that she has made money, her mother hopes that she will use her salary to support the family. Even though she knows that it is a unique thought of their generation, it makes her feel very uncomfortable when she hears these words. , why should I go out to work to earn money for my younger brothers and sisters to go to school, and why would I lose the opportunity to go to school?

Gong Caiwen took a deep breath. Today was her father's birthday. She didn't want to quarrel with her family here, so she said, "You can find a way to pay for my sister's college expenses. I can afford part of the living expenses. However, if I I know you only go to college to eat, drink and have fun, so I won’t give you any.”

Feeling their sister's sharp eyes, the two siblings swallowed involuntarily and nodded subconsciously in response to their serious sister.

Gong Yaqi remembered that when her sister was admitted to the Normal College, she asked her parents to let her go to university. However, the family was really poor at the time and it was almost impossible to open the pot. In the end, her father could only force her to go out to work. To make money, I think of my sister’s helpless eyes and pleading look as she knelt in the hall that day, and then I think of my sister’s serious face today.

I don’t know if my sister is disappointed with this family or something?But she knows that this is indeed what the family owes her sister. She has obviously done nothing wrong, just because the family is poor, and just because she is the eldest sister, she has to shoulder the responsibilities of the family prematurely. She originally, She should be a college student studying in school, but now she is a working girl with a high school degree.

Maybe, my sister not only hates her parents, but also herself and her brother?

"Daughter, how much do you earn now? I heard that you changed jobs in the past two months. How come you are earning so much all of a sudden? Don't go down the wrong path!" When the atmosphere finally calmed down, the mother broke the news at the right time. The tranquility.

Hearing her mother's words, Gong Caiwen, who originally didn't want to get entangled, rolled her eyes at her mother and said angrily, "So what does it matter how much money I make? What does it have to do with you?"

At the end, he seemed to feel that his tone was stronger, so he said, "The new job is okay, very tiring, but the money is enough. If you don't die, you may be able to make a lot of money."

"Then can we go? After all, we have money, and my younger brothers and sisters are guaranteed to go to college. We don't have to do what we did before."

Gong Caiwen was stunned. She didn't expect these words to come from her mother's mouth. In the past, especially when she didn't have enough money to go to college, she had hated her parents. Although she had been in society in the past two years, After being 'beaten' for two years, I realized that sometimes money is really hard to make. I can understand my parents' helplessness, but I still feel resentment towards them in my heart.

But when these words came out of her mother's mouth today, she couldn't help but realize that maybe her mother also regretted not sending her to college at that time, right?Did she also blame herself deeply?She also hopes that her sister and brother will not follow their own old path, right?

It was a pity that she had lost the opportunity to study forever. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, and tears fell from her eyelids uncontrollably.

There was a tacit understanding, and the family members did not speak. Now, what Gong Caiwen needs most is a quiet time.

For a moment, there was only the sound of chewing rice on the dining table, and the faint light illuminated the entire hall.

"My income is not very high, but for Chihe, it's not bad. You have to study hard. Do you know how much a university professor in a company will earn per year? Two million! What you and your wife can earn in a lifetime Is this the amount? So, you still have to study, and don’t let people on the Internet lead you astray. Studying is our fastest and only way out."

"Well, I know, sister." Gong Yaqi and Gong Xuebin said in unison.

"The company's main business is agriculture, but now the main business location is Tianhe Town. We didn't have any objections in the past, but the company has been vigorously developing it. If you want to recruit some farm work, I may be able to recommend you, but the salary will definitely be It won’t be too high, but it will develop better than you simply farming.”

"Okay, we only know how to farm anyway, so it would be best if we could go to nature." Mother said happily.

After dinner, at 9 o'clock in the evening, Gong Caiwen took out the cake and asked her father to cut it and share it with everyone.

Sweets always bring people a pleasant feeling. After eating the cake, the serious atmosphere of the family subsided, and there was no longer the depressing atmosphere when they just ate.

At night, Gong Caiwen and Gong Yaqi slept in the same room.

Gong Yaqi turned around, took advantage of the weak moonlight, looked at her sister's delicate face and said, "Sister, is your company recruiting summer workers? I can also do some farm work, so I should be qualified for some jobs, right? "

Gong Caiwen turned around, pinched her sister's cheek with her hand and joked, "Silly sister, you start working so early. Alas, after you graduate from college, you will have to work all your life."

"There is nothing we can do. Who told our family to be poor?"

"Yes, if you are poor, you have to become a family early."

"The work thing..."

"I'll ask the leader tomorrow. It's very late. You should go to bed early."
