Chapter 247 [Happiness to All Families 2]
Youyou returned home according to her memory and saw her mother and sister He Xingfu.
"Sister, mom, I'm done with school." Youyou imitated the original owner's usual way of greeting.
"Lucky is back. Come, wash your hands and get ready for dinner." Mother He said, wiping her hands.
"Okay, Mom, sister, stop moving, let's eat together." Youyou said.
"Okay." said He's mother.
"Okay, Lucky, I'll go wash my hands and be right back." He Xingfu said.
After washing their hands, everyone sat at the shabby table. The bowls and chopsticks were also very old. The dishes were just enough to fill their stomachs. There were three steamed buns, a bowl of green vegetables, a bowl of steamed eggs, and a plate of pickles.
Because the family has to support Youyou, a high school student who is about to go to college, which is a huge amount of money, the family can only save as much as possible.
He's mother scooped a large spoonful of steamed eggs into Youyou's bowl and said, "You're lucky. Eat more. You've lost weight recently. Is it because you've been studying hard? I'll give you more money this time when you come back. Buy whatever you need outside. Don't save. You still have me and your sister to support you at home."
"Mom, you and sister should eat too." After saying that, Youyou scooped a spoonful of egg custard into each of He's mother's and He Xingfu's bowls.
"Oh, how can this be? You are at the stage of growing up, and our family is poor. We can only rely on these eggs to nourish your body. Why are you giving the eggs to me and your sister?" After saying that, he was ready to pour the eggs in the bowl into Youyou's bowl.
Youyou stopped He's mother with her hands and said, "Mom, if you and sister don't eat them, I won't eat eggs anymore. You always save the good ones for me. My sister is the same. She is not much older than me. But she started working after graduating from junior high school to support my studies. It was my sister who sacrificed her own future to help me."
He's mother cried. She knew that the person she felt most sorry for all these years was her eldest daughter. In order to let Xingfu go to school, she took the initiative to drop out of school. Thinking back to the time when Xingfu's grades were among the top students in the class, but the family was poor and could only afford to send one person to school, the older Xingfu took the initiative to ask to drop out of school to let her younger sister go to school. He's mother remembered that Xingfu said in front of her that her younger sister was still young, and if she didn't go to school, she would have no way out. She was older than her and had to take on the responsibility of being the eldest sister.
"Xing Xing, have you ever blamed your mother over the years? If your mother had gritted her teeth back then, she would have let you go to school." He's mother said, placing the bowl and chopsticks in her hands.
"Mom, this was my own choice and I don't regret it. I have considered letting my sister go to school again and again. My sister's academic performance is not bad, and she may have a brighter future than me. I hope my sister can get out of the mountains and go out into the world." He Xingfu said.
"Mom, sister, when I get admitted to university, you come with me and we'll leave here." Youyou suggested tentatively. She knew that He's mother, who had grown up in the mountains, would definitely not agree, but maybe they would be willing.
"Follow you out of the mountains?" He's mother couldn't believe it. She couldn't believe that she could hear this from her little daughter's mouth.
"Mom, don't you want to? The world outside is so big, do you want to stay in this small mountain all your life? Sister, you can continue your studies then." Youyou said earnestly.
"I can still study, but I haven't touched the textbooks for so many years. I have almost forgotten all the knowledge. How can I still study?" He Xingfu couldn't believe it.
"Sister, it's possible. I heard there is an adult college entrance examination. Sister, you can go and take part in it." Youyou said.
"But if I go to school too, what about your tuition and what about mother?" He Xingfu asked.
"Sister, you don't have to worry about this. You can work during the day and study at night for the adult college entrance examination. Besides, sister, I will go to college and I can work part-time to pay for my studies. You won't have to bear such a heavy burden on me. I can rent a house near the college and you and mom can live together. We can also rent a small storefront for mom to do business. I can live in the school dormitory during normal times and live with you during breaks." Youyou said.
"But will working part-time affect your studies?" He's mother said a little worriedly.
"No, this is also a way to accumulate experience, Mom. You can think about it carefully. I'm going to college soon anyway. I'm only a second year in high school and I still have a year." Youyou said.
"Okay, let me think about it. Let's eat first. The food is getting cold." said He's mother.
"Okay, Mom." said Youyou.
After dinner, He's mother sent Youyou to study.
He's mother pulled He Xingfu into the kitchen and asked, "Xingfu, do you think what your sister just said is reliable? I'm a little worried about renting a small storefront and opening a shop. I'll lose money then."
"Mom, I think what my sister said is right, and my sister can't go to college alone without someone to take care of her. So, mom, let's go with my sister when the time comes. It's okay if we lose a little. Besides, we can get our money back immediately when we just start a business." He Xingfu said.
"Forget it, let me think about it again." said He's mother.
"Okay, there's still a year left anyway," said He Xingfu.
He Xingfu knew that his mother would definitely agree, so he decided to save more money in this year, otherwise how would he pay for renting a house, renting a shop, and paying for his sister's tuition and living expenses? These were all considerable sums of money.
