In a blink of an eye, more than half a month passed.
At the end of June, the influenza epidemic finally came to an end. Although the hospital was still difficult to find, the newly added severe illnesses had been sharply reduced by 70 %.
Compared with last year, this round of epidemic has weakened the degree of harm, but it still caused a lot of losses.
Take the people around Xu Dong as an example:
The old Xu family is fortunate to be safe;
Security Department, a colleague died of illness;
Among all relatives, only Yang's father and a cousin died of illness;
Among the group members of the rotation class, three of them did not survive, and 15 people who died last year and accidental death. The number of members just came to 340 people.
In addition, some familiar noodles have disappeared forever, and there are some celebrities and business leaders, which is really sighing!
June 26, Thursday.
Early in the morning, Ma Lingling pulled her friend Jiang Jing for a day off. Today is just a day of filling in volunteer, and it is half a month when she comes out. By the way, go home to see.
Yesterday, both checked the college entrance examination results.
Ma Lingling took 645 points, and Xia Qing University was stable. Yesterday, she was answering the phone most of the morning, especially her grandfather's house.
Jiang Jing's grade is also good. He took 602 points, which was 6 points more than the estimated score, which was 23 points higher than the undergraduate admission line. The university was also stable.
The two were also sitting on the subway.
At 10:30 in the morning, the two were punished at the subway export, but after an appointment, I went to school to fill in the school together.
Knowing that her daughter was about to come back today, Xu Ting asked for another day of leave. After getting up, she started to live and prepare to make up for the child.
"Mom, I'm back."
Xu Ting pulled her daughter, looked up and down carefully, and couldn't help but feel bad in her mouth:
"Why lose so much?"
"I think it's okay, some baby fat before, it's just right now!" Ma Lingling grinned.
"It's better to get fat!"
This is the public aesthetics at the moment, and fat represents health and blessings.
"Mom, you can rest assured, wait for me to go to college to ensure that you can grow back in two or three months."
Thinking of her grandmother's cooking skills, Ma Lingling couldn't help drooling.
As soon as Xu Ting thought about it, he no longer tangled this topic.
"How about work?
"Haven't you told you, I work in logistics, there are air -conditioning in the office, my colleagues are very friendly to me, and I am not tired at all.
On the contrary, Jiang Jing chose a front -line production worker, and in order to get more wages, she was desperately working overtime every day.
Xu Ting sighed: "The children of the poor people have been headed early, you think you are like you! When you pay the salary, remember to buy gifts for your grandparents, don't forget."
"Remember, the factory pays salary on the 10th next month. I can get 4,000 yuan this month. Jiang Jing is more than me, and there should be 7,000 yuan."
"This child is too hard." Xu Ting sighed, no wonder he could fall asleep when he fell.
Ma Lingling suddenly opened her backpack.
"Mom, I'll bring you a gift."
"What gift?"
Xu Ting is very curious. Her daughter hasn't paid yet. What gift can she bring back? Is it brought back from her grandmother?
"Dang Dang Dang Dang ... This is this!"
"Isn't it the bread dandruff? I thought it was a good thing!" Xu Ting didn't have a good breath.
Ma Lingling handed a large bag of bread crumbs to her mother. This was accumulated by her half a month, and it was almost seven or eight pounds.
Originally, she wanted to give the bread dandruff to her friends.
However, Jiang Jing refused to accept it anyway. It used to have no conditions before. Now there are conditions, Jiang Jing's self -esteem does not allow her to do so.
"Mom, don't look down on these bread chips. At the gate of our factory, two traffickers come to collect bread crumbs every day, more than two hundred pounds, my bag is worth two thousand yuan!"
"Then you keep eating yourself!"
Xu Ting waved his hand. There was no shortage of food in their family, and the bread crumbs had been put in half a month.
Ma Lingling didn't care: "Mom, if you don't want it, then I send it to Grandpa in the afternoon.
"With you, just send it if you want to send it!"
Nympho
At the same time, Jiang Jing also arrived home.
Except for Jiang's father who was paralyzed in the bed, there was no one. The mother Jiang went to work, and the two younger brothers were still going to school.
"Wife, how do you get off work so early today?"
Jiang Father's voice came from the bedroom.
"Dad, it's me."
"Xiao Jing? Didn't you go to Yanjing to work? Why did you come back?"
Jiang Jing came to his parents' bedroom with his schoolbag.
"Today the school fills in volunteers, I ask for leave, come back to fill in the volunteer."
Father Jiang listened to ecstasy: "Xiao Jing, are you going to college?"
"Well, the results checked yesterday, 602 points, the undergraduate admission line was 579 points." Jiang Jing replied calmly.
"Okay, so good, it's better than your dad ..."
Jiang Jing looked at the dad who was thin and unbelievable, and tears instantly.
Father Jiang panicked: "What's wrong? Obviously something happy, why are you crying?"
"I'm fine." Jiang Jing wiped his tears, and then opened the backpack, "Dad, are you hungry? I brought you bread."
In the past half a month, Jiang Jing has eaten bread crumbs, and the saved bread has been brought back by her. Although she has troubled her mother, the family is still her family.
"Where do you come from the bread?"
Father Jiang looked at the bread in front of him and swallowed a sip unconsciously.
Last meal was still noon yesterday.
He ate two potatoes in total. From last night to the present, it was dripping.
If you do n’t want to get more rations, he will have broken himself for a long time, so as not to drag his family.
"I work in a bakery, and the bakery can be divided into about half a catty of bread crumbs every day.
"Xiao Jing, your job is okay!"
Father Jiang couldn't help but praise.
Mother Jiang is a sanitation worker who sweeps the street on the road. It only has more than 3,000 yuan a month. This salary is put on the black market, and even ten pounds of grains cannot be bought.
Jiang Jing nodded: "I work at the same table to help me find it. The factory is her grandfather's house. The leaders in the factory take care of me. I can get 10,000 yuan a month now."
"Ah ... this ..."
Father Jiang was so surprised that he couldn't speak.
Jiang Jing helped his father pour a glass of water, and then fed the bread.
Father Jiang finally reacted and looked at the bread on his mouth and shook his head: "Dad is not hungry, the bread is left to your mother and your brother!"
"Dad, before the start of school, I can at least earn more than 25,000 yuan, and there are 45 pounds of bread. From now on, our family will gradually become better." Jiang Jing advised.
"You have to go to college ..."
Jiang Jing interrupted: "It's okay to go to school. I said to the leaders in the factory. In the future, I can only come and work part -time at any time.
