Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 295 I want to join New Oriental

In the evening, Zhong Chuhong's family sat around to eat together, and the family of six seemed to be in harmony.

But recently, the pressure on their family has gradually increased. Although Zhong Chuhong works outside the home to help support the family, the three younger siblings have to go to school for food and clothing, which makes the family unable to cope.

The only way now is to let one of the children drop out of school to work, just like Zhong Chuhong did back then, only in this way can he barely maintain his family.

"Big sister, after the new year, you can come to the house to help with things."

The eldest sister burst into tears when she heard this. Although she really wanted to continue studying, the family situation could only support her two children to continue going to school.

Sensible, she just nodded with sobs and said nothing, after all, Zhong Chuhong came here in the same way.

"Why don't you let the eldest sister continue to go to school?"

Zhong Chuhong was originally because her family was too difficult, so as the eldest daughter, she had to drop out of school early to help with work and share the family budget.

But now such a thing is going to happen again now, this is absolutely unacceptable to Zhong Chuhong.

"Hey, Ah Hong, the eldest sister is not young anymore, it's normal to go out and do things now, and how can we have money for her to continue studying? You should also know the situation at home very well."

Father Zhong couldn't help shaking his head when he said this. The business of the women's clothing store has been getting worse and worse recently, and he was so anxious that he couldn't sleep at night.

Even if Ah Hong works outside to subsidize the family, it is still far from enough. It takes a lot of money to provide three children to school and the food and clothing of a family of six.

"Sister, it's okay...it's okay, I should come out to help the family."

The eldest sister shook her head and pretended to be very strong. Although she really wanted to continue studying, she also knew that this was impossible.

In this case, it is better to come out to do things earlier, and it is also good to help the family reduce the burden a little.

Originally, this matter had basically been settled, but Zhong Chuhong objected abnormally.

"No, I must let the eldest sister continue to study."

Zhong Chuhong's attitude is very firm, she doesn't want to see her sister repeat her side.

"Ah Hong, it's not that we don't want our eldest sister to continue studying, but the women's clothing store plus your part-time job can afford the food and clothing of our family of six. At most, we can only send two children to school. What do you think we should do? ?”

Mama Zhong was also on fire at this time, the eldest sister was her child, why didn't she think about her own child, it was as if she didn't let the eldest sister study.

"If you can become a star, then our family will not encounter such problems."

Thinking of this, Mother Zhong couldn't help shaking her head.

At the beginning, she realized that if things continued like this, they would not even have the money to pay for the older sister's education, so she asked Zhong Chuhong to participate in Miss Hong Kong.

I thought that Zhong Chuhong would be able to enter TVB and become a TV star after getting No.4, and their family would not have to live in such a difficult situation, but I didn't expect that Zhong Chuhong would not be able to become a TV star in the end.

Seeing Zhong Chuhong and Zhong's mother quarrel, the other two younger siblings also cried.

"Don't cry, you two will feed me honestly."

Zhong Ma turned her head and gave the two little ones a hard look. They immediately fell silent, then lowered their heads and obediently ate while sobbing.

"How about I find a way to find a part-time job?"

At this time, Father Zhong suddenly thought of an idea. If he could find a part-time job, he might be able to temporarily solve his current predicament.

But I didn't expect Zhong's mother to stare at him as soon as Father Zhong finished speaking.

"Now you are the only master chef in the shop. You get up at five o'clock every morning to make clothes, and go out to work part-time at night. How many lives do you think you have to play like this?"

Father Zhong could only lower his head silently, because he really couldn't think of any good solution.

And more importantly, if the time to make clothes is delayed due to part-time jobs, it will affect the business of their shop.

You must know that their family of six depends entirely on this women's clothing store for their livelihood. If the store cannot continue to open, the two of them will have to find something to do.

"Okay, this matter is settled like this, let's continue to eat."

Mother Zhong is the backbone of the family, since she has said so, Father Zhong naturally dare not have any opinion, after all he is a good old man.

Originally, this matter should have come to an end here, but Zhong Chuhong didn't expect to say something suddenly at this time.

"Big sister doesn't need to drop out of school, I have a way."

Hearing Zhong Chuhong say this, Zhong's mother frowned all of a sudden. She had already agreed on things, but Zhong Chuhong kept playing against her, which made her very unhappy.

"Ah Hong, your mother really can't help it. I think this time, I will just listen to your mother's advice. When the family has money, I can send my eldest sister to study."

Zhong's father was worried that Zhong Chuhong would quarrel with Zhong's mother again, so he stepped forward to ease it.

But unexpectedly, Zhong Chuhong shook his head this time.

"Dad, don't worry. Actually, there is something I didn't have time to tell you."

Zhong's father and Zhong's mother looked at each other, they didn't know what Zhong Chuhong was going to say.

But a thought suddenly flashed in their minds, is Zhong Chuhong in love?
"I plan to join New Oriental Film Company."

Speaking of New Oriental Film Company, it can be said to be very famous now, and this is also thanks to the fact that those newspapers help Lin Daoqiu to advertise from time to time.

After all, his experience is really incredible, almost like the plot in the novel and movie.

"Do you know the people inside? Why didn't you hear it before?"

Zhong's mother felt very strange. Before that, Zhong Chuhong always wanted to join TVB, but why did she suddenly want to join New Oriental?
"My friend is a supervisor there, and he recommended me to the top management of the company."

Zhong Chuhong didn't dare to tell Mama Zhong that her friend was Lin Daoqiu, because she didn't know whether Lin Daoqiu regarded her as a friend.

"This is a happy event, why didn't you tell me earlier, it caused me to worry for so long in vain."

Zhong's mother didn't expect things to turn around like this. She didn't mind that Zhong Chuhong was an actress for TVB and New Oriental, as long as she could become a star.

In fact, in the final analysis, Zhong Ma's ultimate goal is just to hope that Zhong Chuhong can make more money and reduce the family's financial situation.

As for whether the money is earned from TVB or from New Oriental, it doesn't matter at all.

"Sister, can I continue to go to school?"

The eldest sister looked at Zhong Chuhong but asked abruptly, if she could go to school, she still hoped that she could continue to study.

"Don't worry, my sister will definitely let the three of you finish college."

Zhong Chuhong nodded vigorously.

"Great, I can go on to school."

The originally dull atmosphere in the room suddenly became lively again because of the news that Zhong Chuhong was about to become a movie star.
