Chapter 106: Cao Ke's Mother
Chapter 106 Cao Ke’s mother
Nowadays, primary schools finish very early, especially in summer. When Cao Ke arrived at Yangliu’s house, the sun was still very hot!
As soon as he came in, Qiuqiu packed up her schoolbag and said goodbye to her grandfather and returned here.
As soon as the two children entered the room and sat down at the desk, Yang Liu came to see Cao Ke.
Cao Ke was very polite in front of Yang Liu and stood up immediately: "Aunt Yang!"
"Well, sit down!" Yang Liu held his shoulders and asked him to sit down, and then said: "Cao Ke, I seem to have heard that your mother is semi-laid off now, right?"
Cao Ke didn't hide anything and nodded: "Well, my mother used to work in the battery factory. Now only a small number of people in the battery factory are still working. I heard that they still work in rotation. After ten days, they will take a break and let someone else take the job."
The child's thoughts were clear and his speech was very organized, but he paused for a moment: "But it's not even my mother's turn anymore. She has taken over the job of pressing bottle caps at home, and she can't earn much for a day's work.
There is no money, but there is nothing we can do, the factory has not paid wages for several months.”
Yang Liu understands that the battery factory is just the beginning. Slowly, there will be more such companies in the future. After transformation and reorganization, more and more of them will be converted into private enterprises, so that they can take on new life.
Rigid systems can only be changed after going through pain. Some people can follow the trend and get the first pot of gold and live smoothly, while some people are completely unable to adapt to this change and can only passively accept it, or they may be eliminated by the new mechanism.
Yang Liu doesn't feel that he can play any role, he can only make himself and those around him live a better life!
"Today you don't have to help Qiuqiu make up classes. Let's go have dinner first. After dinner, I'll go back with you. I want to ask your mother if she would like to come to work in our house. You see there are many people eating in our house now, but aunt
I’m really too busy, so I thought about hiring someone to cook and clean up.”
Cao Ke's eyes widened in surprise: "Really? My mother will definitely be willing!"
Yang Liu touched the little guy's head and said with a smile, "I want to talk to your mother about this in person."
The most important thing is that she wants to see Cao Ke's mother's character and conversation, as well as her hygiene habits and physical condition.
The two of them had something to eat and then went to Cao's house. It took more than thirty minutes to walk, and Yang Liu took Cao Ke there on a bicycle in only ten minutes.
Shunyu County has a history of more than 3,000 years, and you can still feel some ancient charm when walking in these alleys.
Although the old stone road has become full of potholes, the shop doors on both sides are old-fashioned wooden doors that have been removed one by one. Looking up at the eaves, the colored wood carvings have long since fallen off, and you can tell that this place was once glorious many years ago.
However, these large houses, which were originally a few people, were crowded into countless families with different surnames. Because no one maintained them, the houses became dilapidated day by day.
The courtyard where the Cao family lived was very bad, crowded and complicated, making it even more miserable compared with the buildings outside.
It's like the same courtyard as Su Gaoyi's house where people from his own family live in it. No wonder the Su family has the confidence to pick on Liu Wenying.
When I reached the end of the alley, I heard a woman's sharp cries and a man's curses coming from inside before I even entered the door.
Cao Ke is still young, but he already has a strong self-esteem, and he just feels that these things make him embarrassed.
There was a middle-aged couple fighting in the yard, and two people nearby were arguing insincerely, while more people were eating under the eaves and watching the fun, smiling and having nothing to do with themselves.
The curse words were simply unbearable, and every sentence attacked the other person's body and elders. It seemed that he had to use the most vicious words in the world to express the anger in his heart at this moment.
The woman scolded her incisively and vividly, while the man was holding a cigarette in his mouth and beat him without any rules! The husband and wife had no scruples and were full of ugliness!
But Yang Liu knew that after the beating and scolding, the two of them could still live without any grudges, discussing daily necessities, and the people around them knew the same, so they didn't even bother trying to break up the fight.
Yang Liu glanced at Cao Ke, feeling a little distressed and admiring that this child could live in such an environment and study hard without being affected. She had never even heard Cao Ke say bad words.
What she didn't know was that if Lin Zhiyu hadn't given him a hand, he might have dropped out of school.
Everyone looked at Yang Liu in unison, and the fighting couple temporarily stopped. Because she was so beautiful, so clean and fair. She obviously didn't have any eye-catching clothes, just a white shirt and black trousers, but she stood there.
So different.
A middle-aged woman asked Cao Ke carelessly: "Cao Ke, who is this person? Could it be that you were caught doing bad things outside and had to come back to see your parents? I said, why don't you learn well as a child?
?Do you also want to go to jail like your dad?"
After saying that, she laughed, as if she thought it was a funny joke, and everyone around her laughed too.
Yang Liu only felt that what this person said was really disgusting. She didn't want to argue with them, so she touched the child's head and whispered to Cao Ke: "Don't argue with such people about right and wrong. With such time, it is more important for us to do it."
Please take me to find your mother!"
"What's more important than being humiliated?" Cao Ke's little heart felt very uncomfortable.
"For example, make yourself better, stronger, and become a superman!"
"What is Superman?"
"Huh?!" Yang Liu thought for a while: "He is a person who can constantly surpass himself!"
Cao Ke loosened his tightly clenched fists, lowered his head thoughtfully, and led Yang Liu into his home.
The room was a little dark, and Cao Ke's mother was pressing the plastic cover one by one, with great force every time, and she had to hold on for a while to wait for it to be finalized.
In this way, only ten people can get one penny. Sure enough, you can't earn much in a day. Plus, when you go to deliver goods, they have to pick out a lot of unqualified ones, so you get even less by deducting money here and there.
Hearing the sound, Cao Ke's mother Fan Yan did not raise her head, but she knew her son was back.
"Cao Ke, why are you back so early? Didn't you go to Teacher Lin's house today? You have to be more attentive to teaching others. You turn on the lights and study quickly, otherwise you won't be able to teach Teacher Lin's children."
"Mom, this is Qiuqiu's mother. She asked you to work at their house."
When Cao Ke entered the room, he had already adjusted the expression on his face and said excitedly.
Hearing this, Fan Yan raised her head in surprise. It was a face that was overworked and slightly sad. After seeing Yang Liu, she stood up hurriedly. She was a little at a loss in her apron. She wiped her hands on the apron several times and then finally
I pointed to the stool and asked Yang Liu to make it, but found that there was a box on it with a pressed lid inside.
So he smiled and turned to the other side, where there was a curtain sewn with fine scraps of fabric. On the left was the wall, and on the right was the only bed in the room.
Cao Ke had already walked quickly and opened the curtain, revealing a clean and tidy area. The kind words Yang Liu was about to say suddenly got stuck in his throat.
There is a shabby but very clean and tidy desk here, with several books placed neatly.
The only lamp in the room was fixed above the desk with a rope.
