Hard times have room

Chapter 582
Under the ardent entrustment of the grandmother of the Wang family, Dongmei finally followed Baolin out of her courtyard with a backpack on her back.

The two walked to the gate of Bao Lin's yard in silence. It was cold for no other reason. Now is the coldest time of the day. Even if they were wearing cotton-padded clothes, they couldn't prevent the cold wind.

Originally, Baolin asked Dongmei to wait for her on the side of the road, and she would come out in a while, but if Dongmei didn't agree, then she had no choice. Come together!

Paulin went directly to the kitchen. Her parents were already up at this time, and the porridge that Paulin had left in the pot had already been eaten by them.

They got up early because they were going to pick up mushrooms in the forest, and now the mushrooms can be sold for money, so going to the forest to pick up mushrooms is like picking up money for nothing. That's a positive.

Without much delay, Pauline put the basket on her back and said hello to her parents and went out.

Baolin and Dongmei walked with a basket of mushrooms on their backs. They set off before it was completely dawn, and did not dare to delay along the way, because it was winter, it was very late, and the sky was dark. Completely bright and not to mention that they have to wait until after seven o'clock, so the time left for them is not very sufficient.

Seeing the outline of Hongxing Town, Baolin and Dongmei were almost paralyzed.

"Paulin, why don't you rest under this tree for a while, my shoulders are sore when I carry it all the way." Wang Dongmei couldn't help taking the basket off her shoulders and said panting.

Before, when they picked up mushrooms, they didn't have to carry the basket all the time. When they arrived at a new place, the basket would be put down. Then, they would search for mushrooms around the place where the basket was placed.

Generally speaking, she carried it for a while and put it on for a long time, so she was not very tired, but now it is different. She has been walking for more than an hour with her backpack on her back, and then she crossed a small hillside and intuitively saw the red star in front of her. Outline of the town, she is tired.

Therefore, when I saw the familiar town in front of me, the breath I was holding in my stomach disappeared all of a sudden. I thought that I was almost there anyway, so I can naturally take a break.

"Why don't you try holding the basket on your chest, you use your hands, you can rest your shoulders for a while, this winter time goes by so fast, we still have to hurry to town, only sitting in the car is the real thing safe."

"One more thing. It's the start of the school year, and there are many people in the car. If it's late, there may be no seats." Although Paulin was also exhausted, she knew that it was not the time to stop.

Maybe she can relax a little only when she is actually sitting in the car!

"Okay, I'll listen to you, this, you have more experience than me." Wang Dongmei was not a stubborn person, but when Bao Lin persuaded her, she was shaken again.

The bag that she had put aside before returned to her shoulders. In this matter, she trusted Pauline, who was more experienced than her.

When the two of them finally saw the bus more than 100 meters ahead, they almost burst into tears. It was not easy for them!
"Paulin, the car is in front of you. It's almost here. Let's persevere." Wang Dongmei patted Baolin's shoulder with her hand, cheering for Paulin, who was about to be paralyzed from exhaustion.

She didn't expect that carrying this thing would be so tiring. When she first started carrying it, it was obviously very easy. When she was at home, her grandmother helped her organize the mushrooms in the carrying basket and weighed it on the scale. A total of twenty catty.

Originally, the mushrooms she picked up by herself in the back basket were scraped off, and there were only [-] jin and [-] taels left. The rest was more than a jin, which was specially collected for her by her milk, just to have a all.

In the end, I grabbed two handfuls of small mushrooms in the back basket, lest there be a situation where the scale is not enough, so it's always right to put a little more in the back basket.

Grandma Wang still attaches great importance to Dongmei selling mushrooms to raise tuition fees. In her opinion, this is the only chance for Dongmei to return to school, so she gave a lot of support.

As soon as she came back that day, Dongmei told her family that she was going to sell mushrooms with Paulin to raise tuition fees. The voices of disapproval were higher than those of approval. Most of the family told her to stay safe. Don't mess around. In the end, it's Grandma Wang's decision to let Dongmei do it with peace of mind. Otherwise, this matter may cause a lot of ups and downs at home.

"Don't worry, it's all here. Whatever I say, I have to take the backpack to the car and get a seat." Paulin wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with a smile.

This is about [-] pounds, but it really gets heavier and heavier. She thought it was okay before, but the weight is limited, but it won't work later.

In the first half of the journey, she was still in the mood to talk and chat with Dongmei from time to time. In the second half, she was panting and wiping away sweat. You know, it's winter now, and the exposed skin of this cold-blooded person hurts. In this way, she can still sweat from the heat, one can imagine how much burden this thing has on her.

When she reached the entrance of the car, Dongmei also waited for Paulin on purpose. After Paulin caught up, she turned sideways and let Paulin get into the car first.

Over the years, she has been able to count the number of times she has been in this car with her fingers. It was only twice in total. She was particularly impressed. So, when she was about to step on the door, she still showed her timidity and let Pauline get in first. Car, there is a familiar person in the car, she has a lot of confidence.

Pauline didn't have you to let me and I let you keep pushing. Now she's almost exhausted, she just wants to get in the car and find a seat to take a seat and let her shoulders that are about to be broken rest rest.

After the two got into the car, they found that there were a lot of people sitting in the car, and there were not many seats left. The only two seats next to each other were in the last row. There was no way, the two had to go to the back.

The seats in the car were almost full. As soon as they got in the car, they took two adjacent seats, leaving only three empty seats. I don’t know which three lucky ones will be able to sit. above.

"Paulin, it's true, there are so many people today, if we come back later, this seat will definitely be gone." Dongmei hugged her backpack and sat next to Baolin, said with a happy face.

Now the heavy burden on her back has been lifted, so she is now nothing but curious about this car.

It has been two or three years since she last took the car, and the memory of the past has long been blurred, and now it can be regarded as a new memory.

"Well, because today is the day of the school's opening report, there will be so many people in the car. If it is normal, there are not so many people, so you don't have to worry too much about the seats, as long as you can get here before the driver drives. That's alright." Pauline leaned out and said.

In normal times, half of the seats in this car would be considered too many people. Unlike now, this car is almost full, and more than half of them are students in their teens and 20s.
