Liu Jinyou saw his son running into the house wheezing, with wet hair and dripping water on his pants. His hand stopped there. Liu Xiaochuan stepped forward and snatched the pages from his father's hand. It was the second sister Liu Xiaoning who volunteered to fill out the application form.

"What are you doing?" Liu Jinyou yelled angrily.

"Dad, you can't burn it." Liu Xiaochuan entered the back room. His second sister, Liu Xiaoning, was sitting on the edge of the kang, shedding tears, her eyes swollen like peaches. Her mother, Zhao Cuiping, sat aside and sighed to persuade her.

"Dad, you can't stop my second sister from going to college," Liu Xiaochuan said loudly.

Liu Jinyou came in and gave him a slap in the face and said, "It's not because you failed to live up to your expectations. Now the family is in debt. I can't even afford to support you two by selling iron. What kind of university does your second sister's girl go to?" It will be good if you graduate from high school, and you can help the family with some farm work. If you study hard, you will be worthy of your second sister."

Zhao Cuiping looked at the five fingerprints on Liu Xiaochuan's face and shouted to Liu Jinyou: "Why are you beating your child? His face is red and he can't speak properly."

"It's not like you are used to it. Everyone is disobedient." Liu Jin Youcai put down his arm as he spoke.

Liu Xiaoning watched all this with cold eyes and remained silent. Her parents had always favored Xiaochuan, and her younger brother had been selfish since he was a child. He didn't expect that he would speak for her today.

Liu Xiaochuan plopped down on his knees.He said in a deep voice, "Mom and Dad, I know you feel sorry for me and want me to go to college, but have you ever thought that I made mistakes before and put the family in debt, and my eldest sister is still complaining about you. Now you are depriving me of my second son." My sister has a chance to go to college. Even if I get into college and find a good job, I will live with guilt all my life. Do you have the heart to put me under such great pressure?"

Liu Jinyou and Zhao Cuiping did not expect their 17-year-old son to say such words. Although they were shocked, they also felt that what their son said made sense.

Liu Jinyou said to Zhao Cuiping: "Then what do you think we should do? Can you go back to your parents' house and borrow some from his uncle?"

Zhao Cuiping quickly shook her head: "Last time Xiaochuan had an accident and we borrowed money, my two sisters-in-law almost fell out. Now it is impossible to borrow money again, and they are not rich either."

At this time, Liu Xiaoning cried and said: "Stop talking, parents, is it okay if I don't go to this university?"

"You see, your second sister has agreed not to go to college. It's not that her parents don't support her, but our family really can't afford it."

"In this way, I will go out to work for a year and try to earn back the cost of going to college. During this period, I will study the courses on my own and wait for the final exam results to ensure that you are satisfied. If my grades really fail, the worst is that I will repeat the grade for a year. "?" Liu Xiaochuan said, looking at his parents.

"Impossible, you are a half-year-old child, why do you go out to work? I am such an adult, no one wants to go out to work, to put it lightly." Liu Jinyou was the first to deny it.

Liu Xiaochuan saw that it didn't make sense, so he picked up a pair of scissors on the sewing machine and put it on his neck.Zhao Cuiping looked at it and cried: "Son, what are you doing?"

"Dad, I'm seventeen years old. I'm not a child anymore. I'm taller than you when I stand. Just let me go to the city to work. I know it well. If you don't let my second sister go to college, I won't either. I'm studying. If you let me go to work, I promise not to miss my homework. If you force me to stay at home, I have no intention of studying. "

"His father, just promise your child." Zhao Cuiping spoke with a tearful tone, turned her head and said to Liu Xiaochuan: "Son, can you put it down first?"

Liu Xiaoning also panicked and cried: "Xiaochuan, I know you are good to me, can you just let it go?"

"Second sister, I made this decision not only so that you can go to college. Regardless of whether you go or not, I will go out to work. Dad, just give me one year, okay? Just think of me as having fun again. One year, if I don’t make any money this year, or my grades are in vain, I will study hard from now on and listen to you on everything.”

Liu Jinyou said angrily: "Okay, little bastard, you have grown up and have your own ideas. Don't regret it in the future, and don't blame us for not stopping you. I think you will never look back until you hit the wall. Today I Just let you hit me once."

"Mom and Dad, then you agreed, right? A gentleman's words are hard to follow." Liu Xiaochuan put down the scissors with a smile.

Liu Jinyou glared angrily and stopped looking at him. Zhao Cuiping saw Xiaochuan put down the scissors and finally put her heart in her stomach and said, "Your father agreed."

During dinner in the evening, Liu Jin didn't say a word, and Liu Xiaoning and Liu Xiaochuan didn't dare to mess with him.

The Liu family has three main rooms, with a kitchen in the middle and bedrooms on both sides. It is a typical northern rural style. His parents live in the east room, Liu Xiaochuan lives in the west room, and Liu Xiaoning lives in a small room in the wing.

Lying on the kang, Zhao Cuiping couldn't help but ask: "His dad, do you really feel safe letting Xiaochuan go work?"

"Since you have agreed to him, let him try it. Boys should also go out and have a try. It is also a way to go out. If he can't endure the hardship, he should come back before school starts. Just treat it as going out for a walk. Go shopping and learn a lot. If you really hit the wall, you can study with peace of mind when you come back."

"That's what you said. If we really want to provide education for two children, our old bones won't be enough."

"By the way, isn't your nephew working as a chef in the provincial capital? You asked his uncle to give him the phone number and address of his cousin's restaurant so that Xiaochuan can find his cousin so that he can take care of him." Liu Jinyou said.

"Okay, I'll go back to my parents' house tomorrow. Tomorrow happens to be the Shita Town Fair. Since I'm going out, let's buy some clothes for the child, so as not to wear rags in the city and be laughed at by others."

"Okay, tomorrow I'll hitch a donkey cart, pack some corn and go to the supply and marketing cooperative to sell it. I have to prepare some traveling expenses for him."

Liu Xiaochuan was lying on the kang, staring at the ceiling in a daze, completely unaware that his parents were worried about him traveling away from home.

He was planning in his mind how to make money.He remembered that in his previous life, he had seen someone say on the Internet: "Things that can be settled with money are nothing." However, for ordinary people, all worries can be settled with money. If they cannot be settled, it must be money. not enough.As long as you earn the first pot of gold, it will be much easier in the future.

Of course, everything cannot be looked forward to. Liu Xiaochuan remembered that in his previous life in class, he told the students more than once that he regretted not studying hard at the beginning. If he could go back to the past, he must study hard.

Now that he really has a chance to start over, he hopes to fulfill his original promise, and hopes that he can maintain his original intention even if he really makes a lot of money in the future.I couldn't help but secretly swear: "In addition to making money, I must study hard and do more meaningful things. If I am poor, I will be alone, and if I am successful, I will help the world."
