Li Feixue is a 19-year-old girl. Due to her family's difficult life, she seized the opportunity to work in another place.

She knew that if she followed him, she would become a woman like Ah Hong who had to sell her body to survive.

It's already very good that her family can support her to this age. Although she also takes on a lot of manual work and earns a meager salary, this salary can only ensure her survival.

If there is any change in the family, the family will immediately fall into the abyss.

Although her family was worried about whether it would be dangerous for a girl like her to travel to another place, they did not stop her. After all, it was a hope.

If this is true, this home can be changed and will no longer be a home that cannot afford any risk.

This time, Li Feixue did not exchange all of her salary into gold because she was looking forward to going home. She went to the port to inquire about the ship ticket and learned that they only accepted Singapore dollars, so she only exchanged fifty pieces of gold.

This time I took two days off specially. After all, the distance to Singapore is not short, and it takes nearly thirty hours to sail on the sea.

It would take at least three days, and if she wanted to stay at home longer, four days would be enough. When her superiors saw her leave application and learned that she wanted to go home, they immediately agreed.

This was also something Tian Yi specifically instructed. He knew that the clan leader needed more people. It was not convenient to recruit workers directly in Singapore, but if he asked the workers to go back and reveal the situation here, there would definitely be a lot of people coming.

She left fifty yuan to buy various food and daily necessities, especially the various embroidered garments in the store, which were all imported from the mainland and were particularly beautiful.

Li Feixue had never worn such nice clothes since she was a child, and the price was not expensive, only more than ten yuan could buy one.

This time she returned by boat wearing new clothes and carrying 15 grams of gold.

The four-day holiday schedule is still very tight. We rush to the port directly after get off work on Friday night and set off in the evening. This time arrangement is also taken into account by the port operator in consideration of the needs of workers to travel to and from Singapore, and the ship is specially dispatched on Friday night.

Li Feixue stood in the warehouse and looked at the small islands flashing by in the distance from time to time.

She was very glad for her brave choice and thought about the publicity posted at the port before boarding the ship.

It said that if you brought a Chinese worker, you would be rewarded 10 yuan directly.

She remembered this good thing immediately.

She carefully considered who was of the right age.

If I bring back ten people, it will be equivalent to one month's salary.

This ship was the passenger ship that was modified when Wang Ze came. It could carry more than a thousand people at a time. Lying on the railing of the ship and looking at the scenery, it was soon night.

She was reluctant to eat lunch on the boat, but she still had to go out for dinner, otherwise she would be too hungry.

When she arrived at the restaurant on the ship, it was already crowded. She went up and ordered some stir-fried vegetables and a bowl of rice, which cost her 30 cents.

After dinner, we went straight back to the cabin, which was a third-class cabin for six people.

Although it was crowded, what she valued was the low price.

The time passed quickly on the boat, and she was a little uncomfortable with such leisure time.

By Sunday morning, the ship arrived at the port of Singapore.

After getting off the boat, she hurried home with light steps.

Walking into the narrow alley, Li Feixue kept greeting the neighbors.

Everyone knew that Li Feixue went to Danasharlin, and even many of their families had people go there as well.

This time, when they saw Li Feixue coming back, everyone came up to ask about the situation over there.

"Feixue, why didn't my Tingting come back with you?" An old lady who was washing clothes saw Li Feixue and hurried over to ask.

"Tingting is fine. If she doesn't come back this month, she should be back next month." Li Feixue said comfortingly. She knew why. It was because Tingting exchanged all her money for gold and had no money to buy a boat ticket back. A boat ticket cost ten yuan, twenty yuan for a round trip, and Li Feixue had no money to lend her.

After comforting Tingting's mother and talking to the neighbors about life over there, I heard a familiar voice: "Sister, you're back."

Li Feixue looked in the direction of the voice and saw her sister Li Feishuang running towards her.

Li Feishuang ran over and hugged Li Feixue directly, and said with tears in her eyes: "Sister, I missed you so much."

Li Feishuang was almost entirely raised by her sister since she was a child, and she had never left her sister's side for all these years. After being separated for a month this time, she was extremely worried, always fearing that something might have happened to her sister outside.

Li Feixue hugged her sister and said with a smile, "Here, look what I brought you." Then she took out a candy and stuffed it into her sister's mouth.

Then he took his sister and said goodbye to the neighbors and walked towards home.

Although the neighbors still had many questions, they all made way for the two sisters to go home.

When she got home, there was no one there. She knew that her parents had gone out to work. Her father was a bag carrier at the dock, and her mother was selling her own knitted backpacks and other items at a stall outside.

She put down the box in her hand and smiled as she watched her sister sitting next to her enjoying the sweetness of the candy in her mouth.

After sitting for a while, he stood up and took his sister to find his mother.

After finding her mother and seeing her eldest daughter coming, Li's mother closed her stall and went home.

"How is it over there? Are you tired?" On the way, Li's mother looked at her daughter with concern and asked.

"I'm not tired. I'm in charge of the logistics work over there. I'm not tired." Li Feixue said with a smile while holding a bag of items.

"You guys go back first, I'll go buy some vegetables." Li's mother walked for a while, said this, and then went to the vegetable market.

The two sisters walked home with the items on the stall.

It was already noon when the meal was ready, and Father Li returned home soon after.

As soon as he entered the door, he asked, "My daughter, are you tired working over there?"

On his way back, he heard neighbors say that his eldest daughter had returned, so he hurried back.

"Not tired." After saying that, Li Feixue took out a small bag from the box, took out a small gold bar of 15 grams from it and handed it to her father and continued: "Dad, this is the gold bar I exchanged for the money I earned this month, it weighs 15 grams." She said proudly.

This was the first time she earned a salary, and being able to bring changes to her family made her feel that she had contributed to the family.

"Okay, okay, our Feixue has also made money." Father Li said with a smile, holding the gold bars.

"I can also earn gold bars in the future!" Li Feishuang said, raising her hand.

The family chatted happily while eating.

In the afternoon, Father Li did not go to the dock to carry bags, but decided to take a rest and talk to his daughter.

He was very worried during this month. His daughter worked so far away, and if something happened to her, he would have no way to deal with it.

Throughout the afternoon, people from the Li family kept coming, all asking about the work situation there, and some asked how their children were doing there.

Li Feixue also took out a stack of letters, all of which were letters that the people who went with her asked her to help bring back.

After sending it out, Li Feixue said that if there is someone in the family between the ages of 18 and 28 who wants to go to work, they can go with her, as they still need people there.

The whole noisy afternoon passed without the family having much to say to each other; they just entertained the neighbors.

In the evening, my sister was holding a few new banknotes and said in surprise: "These are so beautiful, and they are made of plastic."

Mr. and Mrs. Li were also standing by, holding the money with great curiosity; they had never seen plastic money before.

When I learned that the new fifty and one hundred denominations could be directly exchanged for gold, I began to recognize the value of this money.

In the evening, the family talked about interesting things in the new city and learned about life there.

The younger sister listened enviously and pulled Li Feixue and said, "Sister, I want to go with you too."
