During the monthly vacation, Xie Huixian came to the county from the town.Xie Yuanmiao asked about her sister's volunteering, and Xie Huixian said, "It's already filled in."

"It's No. [-] Middle School. Your teacher told me that it's not a big problem to get into No. [-] Middle School."

Xie Huixian's eyes flickered for a moment, and she avoided looking at her brother, "Brother, I applied for a technical secondary school."

Xie Yuanmiao opened his eyes wide, "Why is it a technical secondary school? Didn't you agree to go to high school? By the time you go to college, my brother will have graduated from college. I can afford you."

Xie Huixian said, "I don't want to go to high school anymore, I want to work early to reduce the burden on my family."

Xie Yuanmiao said: "I'm about to graduate and go to college, you don't have to worry about tuition fees, I will find a way to solve it."

Xie Huixian lowered her head and said: "I talked with the teacher, and he said that I might just go to an ordinary university in high school. And I think the pressure in high school is too great. If I don't pass the university entrance examination, I will be in vain. So it's better to go to college. Technical secondary school. The teacher suggested that I study accounting, saying that girls should study insurance as a major.”

"You don't discuss such a big matter with me, you just make up your own mind! You are very courageous." Xie Yuanmiao amplified his voice.

Xie Huixian shrank her neck, but still said: "This is my own business, I just want to go to a technical secondary school." Her voice was not loud, but she was very firm.

Xie Yuanmiao breathed out and looked at his younger sister: "Do you really want to study technical secondary school? Do you not regret it in the future?" Although Huixian's high school was a bit of pressure for him, it was not insurmountable. After he went to college, the opportunity to make money There should be a lot more. When Huixian goes to college, she will be in her senior year, so she gritted her teeth and made it through.

Xie Huixian looked at her brother: "Brother, I won't. If you hadn't insisted on letting me go to school, I might not have finished junior high school. There are several female students in my class who have dropped out, and their parents are all there, saying yes The family has a heavy burden and can't afford it. I dropped out of school and let my brother and younger brother go to school. We don't have parents, but I still have books to study. I am already content to go to a technical secondary school. When I graduate, I can make money. Brother, you don’t have to work so hard, I can help you a little.”

Xie Yuanmiao reached out to touch Huixian's hair. Before he knew it, her younger sister had grown into a slim young girl. She had always been so sensible, capable and kind like her mother, but she was still timid, afraid that she would suffer in the future. "Silly Huixian, I don't have to work hard, you and Yanyan are fine, I feel powerful and can lift up the earth. Don't always think about others, treat yourself better."

Xie Huixian wiped her eyes: "Brother, you should tell yourself this."

Xie Yuanmiao flicked Huixian's forehead: "Brother didn't think about others, but you, I hope you are well."

"Me too. I hope that my elder brother will always be so strong, and my younger brother will always be healthy. I will grow up quickly so that I can help my elder brother and take care of my younger brother."

Xie Yuanmiao looked at his younger sister. Growing up is a very urgent matter for them. Only when they grow up can they have enough strength to support the sky for their loved ones and not be bullied by others.

"Yanyan is leaving school, I'll cook." Huixian rolled up her sleeves and went to cook.

June is coming soon. The day before the exam, the tail of the typhoon swept across the southeast coast. Strong winds accompanied by showers made the weather extremely cool.Xie Yuanmiao entered the examination room calmly, and came out calmly again. Looking at the leisurely clouds in the blue sky, he felt that life was extraordinarily beautiful. As long as he persisted, no matter how big the storm was, it would pass and the sun would still come.

After the college entrance examination, Xie Yuanmiao was liberated in stages. He was gearing up and ready to go to work. He thought of countless ways to make money, but they were all rejected in the end. After the exam, I can't leave, and I can't go home, at least I have to wait until my sister is on vacation.

It is not easy to find a temporary job in a small county. Xie Yuanmiao was thinking whether to go to the city to approve some small things to sell, or to do something else.Early in the morning, Xie Yuanmiao got up and went to the pier to go to the sea market to buy seafood. The seafood in the sea market was cheap and fresh.The sea market was very early, and it became lively at four or five in the morning. I couldn't go there when I was in school, but I only went there twice during the holidays.

As soon as he went, he found a business opportunity.After the fishermen enter the port in the morning, after selling all the big fish and prawns, they will also process some small fish, shrimps, crabs, and shells. These are used by local people to make pickles. If they are sold separately, Prices vary. Shrimp and crabs are more expensive, and small shells are cheaper. But fishermen don’t have so much time to classify them, so they always compromise on one price, weigh them in one scale, and then continue to go to sea.

Most of the people who buy these shrimp, crab and shells are people who are in the pickle business, and there are also hawkers from all over the country who come to resell them. The locals are usually not so early. When they come, the fishermen have left, and they can only buy from hawkers.Vendors generally find it troublesome, and like fishermen, they don’t classify them into different categories. If customers only need one kind, they have to choose by themselves, and the prices are not the same.

Xie Yuanmiao inspected it twice and decided to do this business.Get up early in the morning to wash the rice and cook porridge in the rice cooker. When Yuan Yan wakes up, the porridge will be ready, and he eats and goes to school by himself.On the other hand, he went out to the morning market. With his young strength, he tried to grab as many small miscellaneous fish as possible, and then sold the fish and shrimp by category. He was more diligent, and the price was a little cheaper than others, which was [-] cents a catty. Hurry up, if he can't sell them all, he will take them back to make pickles, and then sell pickles again.

Xie Yuanmiao remembered that her mother was very good at pickling vegetables, and the taste of the pickles she made was exceptionally good, and she was well-known in the neighborhood, but it was a pity that they didn't learn the skills.Later, when I ate the pickles made by my grandmother at my grandmother's house, I realized that my mother learned the craft from my grandmother. The trick is to add homemade rice wine to the pickles.When Xie Yuanmiao decided to start this business, he deliberately ran back to learn how to pickle vegetables from his grandmother, and even brought two jars of wine from home. He knew that as long as it was a good thing, no one would be afraid of it.

In the first two days, the business was bumpy, and there was a lot left every day to go back to make pickles.The landlord saw him as a boy emptying pots and pans at home like a housewife, and thought it was fun. Xie Yuanmiao didn't bother to move the things upstairs, so he sent a jar of homemade pickles to the landlord, and left the things downstairs with the landlord. It is also convenient to move in and out.The landlord is also a good talker. He knows that this child is not easy, and he is well-educated, and he is willing to help take care of it.

After a few days, the business gradually improved. Xie Yuanmiao was young and handsome, standing out like a tall green bamboo among a group of uncles and aunts full of vicissitudes.His things are also clean and the price is cheap, especially after the pickled vegetables can be sold, the business will be even better. The taste of his pickled vegetables is particularly good. When you open it, it emits a strong aroma of wine, which is eaten in your mouth. , a fresh and sweet taste spread on the tip of the tongue, which is endlessly memorable. It turns out that pickled vegetables can also make this taste.

Every morning, Xie Yuanmiao scoured the rice and put it into the pot, then rolled out the tricycle that had been installed the night before, and pedaled to Haishi.After buying the small miscellaneous fish and shells, it was slowly dawning. He set up the stall and began to squat there to pick fish and shrimps with his hands and feet, and the business began to come to his door.The first thing to sell is always his homemade pickles, and then the fresh ones. When they are sold at eight or nine o'clock, there are fewer customers and there are no more things to put away, so they take them back to pack and process them into pickles.The reason why they don't just sell pickled vegetables is because it takes too much time to make pickled vegetables, and the jars of pickled vegetables take up space.

It was maintained like this until my younger sister Hui Xian finished the exam and went on vacation.Xie Yuanmiao originally took this matter as a transition, and let her take care of her younger brother when her sister was on vacation, while she went to Guangzhou to sell clothes wholesale, but after ten days of work, she found that the profit was not small, and she actually had a net income of 600 yuan. , and the business has been getting better and better in recent days, with 80 yuan every day.Xie Yuanmiao decided to continue this business. If he does well, he can earn 2000 yuan a month.

Xie Huixian also joined in, helping Xie Yuanmiao to set up a stall and make pickles together.With a helper, it will naturally go more smoothly.

At this time, the results of the college entrance examination also came out. Xie Yuanmiao's results were as expected, ranking among the best in the county. Although he was not the number one scholar, he was No. 3 in science and could get a scholarship of 5000 yuan.

In July, Xie Yuanyan also had a holiday. He also wanted to set up a stall with his older brothers and sisters, but Xie Yuanmiao refused to let him get up early. His younger brother was growing up and had been seriously injured. His body could not be compared with theirs. It was only when making pickles will let him help.

I'm busy every day until the afternoon, and I'm almost fine. I can lie down and take a nap.Xie Yuanmiao woke up from a nap one day and felt that he was still a little free. After discussing with his sister, he temporarily handed over the pickle business to his sister. He went to Guangzhou by himself, bought a batch of clothes and came back to continue his old business - selling clothing.

I still get up early in the morning and go to the sea market with my sister. I go back to eat at seven or eight o'clock, and then carry a big bag to sell clothes.He started to try it in the county for a few days, and found that the effect was not very good, because there are many markets in the county, and there are many choices, but the effect is not as good as going to the village before, so he went to the countryside with his clothes on his back.In this way, it will be a lot of hard work, and Hui Xian will also work harder, but she can still cope with Yuan Yan's help.The brothers and sisters are busy during the day and go to bed early at night. The advantage of being young is that they can be resurrected with full blood after a sleep.

At the beginning of August, Xie Yuanmiao received a letter of admission from Zhongda University, and his sister also received an admission letter from a technical secondary school in the city. The two brothers and sisters felt at ease, and the tuition fees of the three brothers and sisters were settled. Everything is full of hope and strength.

Xie Huixian cried a lot when she received the notice, because she found that her tuition and miscellaneous fees were much more expensive than she expected, especially the tuition fee for one semester was equivalent to the tuition fee for one year of high school. Originally, she wanted to save money Yes, it turned out to cost money. She felt a self-defeating feeling, and she was extremely sad.

Xie Yuanmiao persuaded her that it doesn't matter if it's more expensive, you can make money after finishing three years of technical secondary school, and if you go to high school, you have to go to university for four years to make money.So the money you spend now will be earned back soon.Xie Huixian was depressed for several days because of this, and finally figured it out, going to school to earn a scholarship and try to earn back the tuition.

One evening in August, Xie Yuanmiao returned to the rented house with his big bag on his back. When he went up the stairs, he heard laughter coming from the house. Besides his familiar voice, there seemed to be grown men and children the sound of.have a guest?Xie Yuanmiao was a little suspicious.

The sensor light in the corridor turned on, and a person came out of the room: "Are you back?"

Xie Yuanmiao looked up and saw that it was Zheng Shijun: "Boss?" Why did he come here? He even found here.

A small head poked out from behind Zheng Shijun: "Brother is back!" It wasn't Kevin.

"Kevin?"

When Xie Yuanmiao was in a daze, Zheng Shijun came down from upstairs and took the big bag on Xie Yuanmiao's shoulder: "Kevin and I went back to our hometown and came to see you. Your younger siblings said you went out to set up a stall. How is the business? ?”

Xie Yuanmiao reacted: "It's okay." His place is not easy to find, and the only people who know it are his relatives.

Zheng Shijun went upstairs first, and his younger brother greeted him and said, "Brother, Mr. Zheng and Kevin came to see us."

Xie Yuanmiao nodded and entered the room. Kevin was holding a slice of watermelon: "Brother eats watermelon."

Xie Yuanmiao smiled: "Thank you Kevin. Have you eaten Kevin?" Such a caring child is really likable.

"I ate it. I ate a lot. The big watermelon my dad bought is super sweet." After speaking, he lifted his T-shirt and showed Xie Yuanmiao his round belly.

Zheng Shijun turned the fan around and blew it on Xie Yuanmiao: "It's pretty hot, it looks like you're all tanned a lot."

Xie Yuanmiao wiped off his sweat: "It's always like this in summer. When did you arrive?"

"I arrived yesterday afternoon." Zheng Shijun sat on a small bench in the living room, holding a cattail fan to fan the wind. In fact, most of the wind fell on Xie Yuanmiao. "Your sister said that your notice has been received, and you are still admitted Congratulations to your ideal university!"

Xie Yuanmiao took two mouthfuls of watermelon: "Thank you!"

"When does school start?"

"September [-]th."

"Are you going to Guangzhou with Yuan Yan?"

"That's the plan, but I haven't found a school yet." Xie Yuanmiao threw the watermelon rind in his hand into the trash can.

Zheng Shijun said: "If it is difficult to solve, you can go to Manager Liu, and he will help you solve this problem. Our company has developed a community in Haizhu District, and there is a school in it."

This is really drowsy. Someone sent a pillow, but Xie Yuanmiao hesitated: "Is it not good?" He owed more and more to others.

Zheng Shijun smiled and said, "You are an employee of our company now, and it's just employee benefits."

Xie Yuanmiao pondered for a while: "Okay, I'll see when the time comes." Maybe the neighborhood is far away from Zhongda University, and it is impossible for him to let his brother go to school that far.

Xie Huixian poked her head out from the kitchen: "Brother, put away the table and eat."
