In the dark room, the light bulb that has been used for a long time and has not been changed and washed will shed a little light in the room.
The fifteen year old child sat at the table and looked at the heavy snow outside the window.
Her father sat on the sofa and watched the TV report about this year's heavy snow, while her mother sat opposite her.
The family remained silent, and only the reporters on TV kept making sounds.
The sound is a little harsh. The old TV horn should have retired long ago. Sometimes it will make a sharp sound, but people here have not considered buying a new one, not even a second-hand one.
Because... Poor.
Poverty is not a shameful thing, because many people in this world are very poor.
But being poor is a very hurtful thing. Because of being poor, many small things that may not stand out in the eyes of others have become major events, just like changing a new TV.
It's like... Paying children for school.
The toilet in the bathroom made a sound of water. Then the door opened and a boy older than the girl came out.
He hid in the toilet for a long time, half an hour, or more, but he still couldn't escape the conversation.
"Come here, sit down..."
The man stood up, walked to the table and sat down. The boy came cramped, looked at the girl with some guilt, and sat down quietly.
"It snowed heavily this year... The factory decided to start work after March, which also means that we have no income for more than two to three months."
"But the school's notice has come. We must pay all the money before February, or they will remove your name from the school book."
"But the money in my hand can only support one person to go to school at most..."
Still silent, no one spoke.
The heavy snow that lasted for more than a month destroyed the lives of many people. It was clear that life had just improved when we encountered such terrible weather.
The continuous heavy snow made the road traffic chaotic, and the intercity and interstate highways came to a complete standstill.
There are also many problems in the city. Many factories and warehouses were collapsed by heavy snow. Before that, no one would think that the light snowflakes would bring such a terrible disaster to the world!
The truth is, they are too optimistic.
The shutdown of factories means that workers can't get paid through labor, and a small amount of savings can only barely support them.
If you add the tuition fees of two students... Many families can't afford them to do so.
This is not a family's own problem, but the problem of the whole society.
At present, federal education is basically monopolized by education groups. They never consider reducing the burden on students' families. They will only ask for more.
Each student's tuition fees ranging from tens of dollars to hundreds of dollars per semester, plus the cost of buying various books, more than 200 dollars, which is a trouble for families with money problems.
Just like the family in front of them, they can't give more than 400 yuan to their two children to continue school at once. One must fall behind.
Once this falls, it will stop for a year.
They won't give the child the current grade again. They must wait until this time next year.
But at this time next year, with a difference of one year, how can children's learning be maintained?
Although the federal middle and lower education is not so concerned about students' grades, at least you have to prove that you are not a fool and know something about what you have learned.
Missing a year may mean not going to school again.
The girl's expression is very cold. Her hands tightly pinch the corners of her clothes and pinch them hard.
The pain of fingernails embedded in the palm is not as bad as her pessimism. The future of life is like this dark room, which can't see the light.
She has a hunch that the person who can't go to school will be herself.
The boy also has a hunch that he can go to school, but his sister can't.
The man glanced at his wife, "so we made a very difficult decision,... He shouted the girl's name," can you suspend your brother for a year? "
"We still discussed. The result is not necessarily like this..."
Everyone knew that this was a lie. Tears were accumulated in the girl's eyes. She stubbornly bit her lips, and a trace of bright red blood expanded outward along the texture on her lips.
She didn't say no or agree. She just looked at her father.
Perhaps her eyes were too "fierce", perhaps her inner guilt, and the room fell into silence again.
The man didn't exercise the power of the head of his family and asked him to do so. He felt that he didn't have any ability to cause these problems.
But in fact, he has worked very hard. He goes to work at 8:00 every day and gets off at 7:30 in the evening. He works 11 hours a day plus a half-hour break at noon.
He has never been lazy and his salary has not been deducted because he doesn't work hard, but he still can't take out so much money for his two children now.
Blame the damn immigrants!
His painful expression was filled with anger at migrant workers, who reduced their wages in order to get a job.
Originally, his salary was more than 330 yuan, but now he can only get the minimum wage, which is dozens of yuan less every month.
In addition to the changes in wages, there are also fewer benefits. For example, lunch at noon has become a vegetarian without meat.
For example, the original working time of only 10 hours has become 11 hours under the request of those immigrants to take the initiative to work overtime.
You can not work overtime, but when the factory needs to adjust your position, you may be fired.
Capitalists never tell employees about their corporate feelings. Only when they need to use employees will they take this thing out as a sacred mission to publicize.
The woman looked at the pain of the family, and her heart was also very painful. She took off her pearl earrings, which her grandmother left her.
"If you sell this, you may be able to pay her tuition."
The man glanced. "It's only worth twenty dollars at most!" he said briefly. "And this is your only jewelry."
The family sat in the dim light and fell into despair for the tuition of more than 200 yuan.
Now they will despair for two hundred dollars, and later they will despair for other money. This may be an ordinary thing that ordinary families must face.
Try your best to get through one difficulty, and then usher in the next!
There is no shortcut to a poor life, because the shortcut is money!
If you have money, there will be no difficulties.
Without the girl's consent, the girl has no ability to change anything. She can only stand up after a period of silence, silently return to her room, hide in the quilt and cry secretly.
She knows that she can't blame anyone. This is the case in this society. Women's status is always inferior to men, as well as in the face of future choices.
Even if her study is better than her brother, it has no reference value.
Let boys go to school and girls marry. This may be the purest and most basic idea and practice of ordinary families.
You know, after a girl gets married, even her surname will be changed. People won't invest so much in her unless she doesn't get married all her life.
But is that possible?
The next day, the man and the boy left home against the wind and snow. They went to school to pay their tuition in advance. I heard that there was a bigger snowstorm in a few days.
It would be bad if the traffic in the city were also blocked.
The girl looked at her brother who kept turning back in the wind and snow, and could only cry silently.
She began to think about doing something. She can't do nothing this year. Maybe she will have her first job in her life.
Isn't it normal for teenage girls to go to work?
The woman appeared behind her and stroked her hair. "Don't hate anyone. At least you can live in a warm room. Maybe the food is not so delicious, but it can fill your stomach."
"To learn tolerance, this is our destiny..."
Everyone thought it was over here, but I didn't expect that things had changed when the two men at home came back at noon.
A smile appeared on the man's face. He found the girl and was a little excited. "Listen, your school problem has been solved. You can go to school with your brother."
The girl stared at her father and shook her head slightly, as if she were saying "don't be kidding".
Tears didn't come out quickly until her father nodded again.
"What happened?" the woman hurried over and lifted the curtain.
The wind and snow for two days stopped for a while at this time, the sun came out, and the room became bright!
"I saw Ms. Catherine, you know, the flower of the common people!" the man's mood was always a little excited. He spoke a little upside down and some couldn't express his ideas well.
"She asked about our family and knew that we had a child who couldn't go to school because there was no tuition. She was still a girl, so she was willing to help us free of charge!"
The woman was also excited. She held her daughter tightly, "great, really great..."
The man also nodded his head and said, "yes, great. Many students have problems at home this year. This blizzard came at a bad time. Fortunately, Ms. Catherine appeared in time."
"Oh, by the way, and Mr. Lynch, I saw Mr. Lynch, too!"
The man looked at his children and sighed, "they are the real big people who go out of Saibin. Few people can remember us poor people when they are developed."
His emotion is reasonable. Not all donations to charity parties can be used by people who really need them.
Sometimes, those fundraisers don't tell people that they usually only spend percent of their total donations on specific groups, but more on the maintenance funds of foundations or other institutions.
Finally, the man looked at the girl, "maybe you can see them in two days..."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
