Of course it’s not that Yang Zimei can’t peel sweet potatoes, nor is she afraid of burning them.
But she still handed the sweet potato to the aunt.
The aunt peeled off the skin neatly and handed it back to Yang Zimei, "Eat it while it's hot!"
"Thank you, auntie."
Yang Zimei held the hot sweet potato in her hands, feeling warm in her heart, and lowered her head to take a bite.
Although sweet potatoes carry her bitter memories, they cannot stop the deliciousness of roasted sweet potatoes.
It smells really good!
"Is it delicious?"
The aunt looked at her earnestly and asked.
"delicious."
Yang Zimei took another bite.
"As long as it's delicious, haha, my daughter also likes roasted sweet potatoes the most. She's almost the same age as you."
The aunties started chatting familiarly.
"Really? Where is your daughter now?"
Yang Zimei also started chatting with her.
"She is in the village and has to help her father with farm work. I can only go out and roast sweet potatoes and sell them to earn some money for her to study. However, she graduated from junior high school this year and did well in the high school entrance examination. She was admitted to the No. 1 Middle School in City A.
You can live in city A as soon as school starts."
When the aunt talked about her daughter, she could not hide the maternal brilliance and joy on her face.
Not seeing this kind of brilliance, Yang Zimei was moved unconsciously.
In this world, there are many ordinary parents who cannot provide their children with good food and clothing, but they all love their children the same way and are willing to work hard for their children.
As long as their children are well, they will feel happy no matter how hard they work.
The same goes for this aunt.
I left my hometown, leaving early and returning late every day, avoiding urban management, selling roasted sweet potatoes at mobile street stalls, making a little bit of money for my children to study, eat and drink. As long as the children have some achievements, I feel that all the hard work is worth it.
"That's good."
Yang Zimei responded, "She was admitted to No. 1 Middle School and her grades are very good. Your daughter must be very well-behaved and filial."
"Yes, my girl is well-known throughout the village for her well-behaved and filial piety. She is good at reading and hard-working. It almost hurts my heart.",
The smile on the aunt's face became even stronger, and it could even be said that she felt a sense of pride that could not be concealed.
"Wow, Auntie, you are really lucky to have raised a good daughter. When she finishes high school and college and finds a good job, you will definitely be able to enjoy a better life."
Yang Zimei marveled.
The aunt's expression suddenly darkened, "It's a pity that we have such incompetent parents. We have four children at home. My younger brother will also be in the third grade of junior high school this year. When he is also admitted to the middle school in the city, we will have to support two high school students.
With two junior high school students, it will be very difficult. I am afraid that I will not be able to support her in college. She is so sensible and well-behaved. Yesterday she told me that she did not want to go to high school and wanted to go to Shenzhen with people from the village.
Go work. I know that is not her real idea. She just doesn’t want me to work too hard and be in trouble. For such a sensible child, even if I sell my blood, I have to support her education to prevent her from being uneducated and like me in the future.
You have to sell sweet potatoes on the street.”
Hearing what the aunt said, Yang Zimei also felt sad.
In the minds of some people who have never experienced poverty, they think that poverty is nothing and that as long as they work hard, they will get better over time.
However, many people have innate conditions and feel that their abilities cannot develop for the better.
For example, in her last life, she also wanted to work hard to live, but life did not open the door to her. Without education and knowledge, she could not even wear good clothes to go to work.
Because she can only wear shabby clothes, she is discriminated against wherever she goes, and no one is willing to hire her.
