My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 364 Summer Work

For lunch, Xu Ting made four dishes and one soup.

A braised large yellow croaker, a plate of fish dumplings, a plate of fried tofu with celery, and a plate of cold tomatoes.

The soup is seaweed egg drop soup.

The couple didn't eat a bite of the fish, and all the big yellow croaker went into the mouths of the siblings. Ma Xu also knew that today was an important day for his sister, so he only ate the head and tail of the fish, leaving the whole fish body to his sister.

Ma Lingling was not polite, she didn't finish her composition in the morning, she just turned her grief and anger into appetite, and swept away the big yellow croaker, and even used the fish soup to bibimbap.

"Dad, Mom, I'm full."

Xu Ting poured a glass of warm water for her daughter:
"Lingling, did your classmate eat the bread in the morning?"

"Eat, Jiang Jing really didn't eat breakfast, so she finished eating such a large piece of bread in three or two bites." Ma Lingling sighed.

"Do you think everyone is like our family? Now everyone outside is hungry. Aunt Lu from our unit said you still remember?"

"Of course I remember, what happened to Aunt Lu?"

"In order to save food, she didn't eat at noon, but because of hypoglycemia, she passed out directly on the platform, which almost caused a safety accident."

"Ah...their family can't do it?" Ma Lingling asked doubtfully.

She also basically understands the situation of Aunt Lu's house.

Since Aunt Lu's husband died of illness, the mother and daughter have depended on each other for life. According to common sense, with Aunt Lu's salary, it must be no problem to support the two.

"Well, it's difficult for her. Not only does she have to subsidize her mother's family every month, but she also loves her children very much. In the end, she can only suffer."

Xu Ting is very lucky at this moment. Fortunately, her younger brother has made a lot of money, and their family has gained a lot of fame. Otherwise, at this moment, they must still be suffering in Luyang!

"Mom, my uncle is the best."

"Okay, go take a nap after eating, and I'll call you again at [-]:[-]."

The temperature was too high at noon, and the exam time in the afternoon was postponed to [-]:[-].

Ma Lingling nodded.

……

For the afternoon exam, Xu Ting had experience this time. She not only brought a parasol and a small bench, but also a big water bottle.

Although troublesome, it saved 30 yuan anyway.

The weather in June is really hot, and the highest temperature at noon can reach 45 or [-] degrees. Even under the umbrella, if you can't replenish water in time, there is a high probability of heat stroke.

Many parents simply went home and came to pick them up after the exam was over. The number of parents staying behind was much less than in the morning, less than one-third.

At half past five in the afternoon, the exam is over.

Xu Ting learned the lesson from the morning and didn't ask for the result this time, but looking at the smile on her daughter's face, it seems that she should have done well in the test.

A good night's sleep, the exam continues the next day.

Ma Lingling brought a piece of bread to the tablemate again, Jiang Jing was not polite this time, and devoured hungrily after taking the bread.

"Jiang Jing, how long have you not eaten?"

"I had a quarrel with my family. After my mother said it, she would ignore me, and even if I was admitted to university, she would not pay my tuition and living expenses."

"Ah? Then what do you do next?" Ma Lingling was taken aback.

"After the exam, I want to find a summer job and at least save some living expenses. As for the tuition fee, I can apply for a student loan at that time, and I will pay it back after I graduate."

"What kind of summer job are you looking for?" Ma Lingling asked curiously.

Jiang Jing waved her hand: "We'll talk about it when we find it. Anyway, I'll do whatever I want to make money, as long as I don't break the law. I'm willing to go to the construction site to move bricks."

"Moving bricks at the construction site? Don't be kidding, the weather is so hot now, how can you survive?"

"If you can't hold on, you have to hold on."

Ma Lingling rolled her eyes, and immediately thought of a solution: "Jiang Jing, I also plan to do a summer job during the summer vacation, why don't we go together?"

"You... Are you short of money too?"

Jiang Jing was very surprised. In her impression, even if this tablemate was not from a wealthy family, at least the family was not short of money.

"I want to earn more pocket money."

"Okay, but the job I'm looking for may not be suitable for you." Jiang Jing said bitterly.

If conditions permit, who would like to be tanned into charcoal!
"Don't go looking for a job. My relatives opened a bakery in Yanjing City. How about we work in the bakery together?" Ma Lingling suggested.

"The bakery?"

"That's right, a bakery is better than a construction site, at least it won't be exposed to the sun."

"How much is the salary? Is it covered?" Jiang Jing asked quickly.

Ma Lingling scratched her head: "I don't know the salary, but there must be 4000 yuan a month, no worse than going to the construction site.

As for the accommodation, I'm not sure now, but don't worry, we will definitely find a place to live, if not, just rent a small room. "

"Will it be too much trouble?"

"Don't worry, you can just accompany me. It's too boring for me to go alone." Ma Lingling persuaded.

"When are you going then?"

"The day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, how about going after the Dragon Boat Festival?"

"No problem, the day after tomorrow, right, I will come to you then." Jiang Jing said excitedly.

"Then it's done, don't let me go?"

"How come, I'm afraid you won't take me!"

……

At 2024:[-] in the afternoon, the English test ended, and the [-] college entrance examination officially came to an end.

On the way home, Ma Lingling talked about her summer job.

"Mom, I want to go to work this summer vacation."

Xu Ting frowned and said, "It's so hot outside, what kind of summer job do you want to do, and Mom didn't miss your pocket money?"

"Mom, it's not about money or not. I want to exercise myself." Ma Lingling explained.

"Where are you going to work?"

"Just go to grandma's bakery!"

"It's too hard to enter the factory, why not go to your grandfather's place?" Xu Ting didn't want her daughter to work too hard.

Ma Lingling argued: "Mom, didn't you tell me before that you want me to help grandma manage the factory after graduation? This time the opportunity is just right, you can go to the factory for an internship in advance, kill two birds with one stone!"

"Uh...you really think about it?"

"After thinking about it, I plan to take Jiang Jing there, and we can be companions together." Ma Lingling added.

"Well, I'll call your grandfather tonight and ask him to arrange it for you."

Xu Ting nodded. It's a good thing for her daughter to want to make progress. As a parent, she shouldn't hold her child back.

Ma Lingling hurriedly reminded: "Mom, I don't want to live at my grandma's house, you ask grandpa to arrange a dormitory for us."

"Understood, when do you plan to go there?"

"Jiang Jing and I have made an appointment to leave after the Dragon Boat Festival. Mom, will our family go to grandma's house for the Dragon Boat Festival?" Ma Lingling asked.

"I won't go this year. Your little aunt is already busy enough, so let's not make trouble. We'll go there on National Day when your grandma's legs recover."

Ma Lingling nodded, and then asked:
"Mom, how much is the monthly salary of the bakery?"

"You can get about 6000 yuan, but you are going to do summer jobs, and three or four thousand yuan is not bad."

"Mom, I want to save more pocket money. Can you tell grandpa for me to get the same salary?"

Ma Lingling said pitifully.

ps: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets!
