Chapter 16 woolen mill

In ten minutes between classes, she finished reading the letter as fast as she could, and she wanted to write back to him immediately, telling her how much she needed him.She wants to tell him that she has been longing since she came to this world, she is longing every moment, longing to meet him, she wants to tell him immediately: "Tell me all the things in your heart! Tell you everything!" She put away the letter, and Teacher Chen came to the Chinese class. This section talked about "The Boat in the Desert".After the teacher finished speaking, the children began to read freely. While she was reading, she felt that she had become a camel, walking alone in the boundless desert.She quickly thought of what she should do: she could save some money by herself and go to the bookstore in the town to buy the books he had read!

Day after day, in the gap of time, she was as industrious as an ant, she raced against time, she raced against the clock, one firecracker after another passed through her fingers, weaving one after another neat and strong firecrackers.She received twenty dollars that month.She was so excited that she walked all the way to the ferry and got on the ferry. She was alone on the ferry. She imagined what she would say to her mother when she went home: "I had twenty yuan, but I lost ten yuan on the way." No, it can't. In this way, my mother must be going crazy, she will come along the road, bend down to look for it carefully, ten yuan, you can sell two or three clothes!Then it is better to say: "I did less work this month, and I only earned ten yuan." But what will I do tomorrow?Tomorrow Suxin's mother will go to the pier to wash clothes, and her mother will definitely ask Suxin how much money she earns this month. If she finds that she does less than Suxin, her mother will definitely blame her.

After much deliberation, she felt that there was no way to hide ten yuan, and finally she handed in fifteen yuan without saying a word.She was about to run away, but her mother stopped her and sat on the small bench facing her.She lowered her head, feeling that the atmosphere was serious. Could it be that her mother had already discovered the five yuan she had hidden? "Caicai." The mother stroked her messy hair and burst into tears. She felt extremely flustered and blamed herself, and a bitter feeling welled up in her heart. She shouldn't have cheated her poor mother, how could she make her mother so sad?

"Mom, I..." She was speechless. "Caicai, starting from tomorrow, grandma will be staying at uncle's house for a period of time, and it will take a few months to come back. I discussed with your papa, and I want you to stop studying and go to work in an upper-class woolen factory. You see Ah Zhen, who is only one year older than you, earned 160 yuan last month." She lowered her head and listened, her mother's words became heavier and heavier, her heart slowly sank into the dark well, and she felt her throat was choked and blocked.After the mother finished speaking, she paused for a long time, as if waiting for her to answer.However, she lowered her head and didn't say yes or no.

When the mother got up and walked into the kitchen, her tears welled up quickly.She wiped it off quickly. She was afraid that her mother would see it, and she was even more afraid of being seen by others. She looked up at her mother's back, trying to muster up the courage to talk to her mother.She was surprised to find that her mother's figure was a little strange, and she suddenly understood that her mother was pregnant. After eating, she leaned against the bed and watched her mother tidy up the clothes one by one, even putting the only overcoat she wore in winter into the snakeskin bag.

"Auntie, will you not come back until the winter festival?" "I won't go back during the Winter Festival." Without looking up, my mother told her, "It will be cold by then, and you will need to wear multiple shirts sooner or later. Don't catch cold. If you get sick, go to the health station to get an injection as soon as possible. " "If you don't come back in winter, you won't come back during the Chinese New Year?" "Don't ask, who knows such a long-term thing?" The mother sighed a long time, walked to her, and sat on the edge of the bed, "Caicai, just now I told you about going to the woolen factory. Waiting for your dad to reply, they want you to go to work now. I told your dad to let you finish this semester, after this semester, you can still graduate from elementary school.”

Her mother hugged her and held her tightly in her arms.She couldn't remember when was the last time her mother hugged her. She hoped that time could stay here, and let her mother hold her for a little longer, and a little longer.Mother loved her, she thought, and it didn't matter if she went to the woolen factory now.
