Good Luck in the Year of the Pig

The car was running in the night rain, and Lu Ying ran for an hour before she had a little time to catch her breath. She went back to the pizza shop to watch her son play with building blocks while waiting for orders.The originally obedient fat boy suddenly sighed, and Lu Ying knew that he had a lot to do.

"What's wrong?" Lu Ying asked with a smile.

"I told you a long time ago that you don't want to cook the noodles. Although they are delicious, it's easy to get hungry again."

Lu Ying, who was reprimanded by her son, sneered: "There are so many reasons to eat. Tell me, what do you want to eat?"

The fat boy sniffed and muttered in a low voice: "The boss's pizza smells so good, I think it must be delicious..."

Lu Ying frowned, and whispered in her son's ear: "Little fool, how can pizza be as good as sesame seed cakes and pot knuckles? Isn't it just a weird big pancake made by foreigners who failed to imitate our sesame seed cakes. Dad will buy you two. One pot helmet, one sweet and one salty." Of course, both pizza and biscuits are delicious, but pizza is more expensive than biscuits, and it's not even a little bit more expensive.

Lu Ying turned around and bought two pot helmets for her son. They cost [-] yuan, which is not cheap.The price of pot helmets has more than doubled that of previous years. Seeing the soaring prices and empty pockets, how can it be a word of "worry".

If he hadn't been working several jobs non-stop, it would have been difficult to stay in the city if the accumulation accumulated.Fortunately, hard work allowed him to stay with the child as he wished. Zai Zai entered a good kindergarten. In September of the next year, Zai Zai will be able to go to elementary school and officially enter the stage of compulsory education stipulated by the state. That is when he takes his children out of the mountains to live greatest purpose.

Kindergartens can freely choose to read or not to read, and where to read. The primary school included in the 12-year compulsory education cannot be entered and exited casually. However, the corresponding primary school in their village is too depressed. There are only six students and one teacher in the whole school, and there is no atmosphere of going to school at all.Any parents with a sense of responsibility sent their children out of the village.Lu Ying is naturally reluctant to let her son go to such an elementary school. In his son's own words, it is not lively at all.Before moving to the city, Lu Ying worked alone in the city every day, and took the kindergarten children back to the distant village to rest at night. Grandpa Lu was waiting for them at home every day.At that time, although traveling back and forth, a lot of time was wasted on the road.But the mood of working for the family is satisfied, and returning home is also lively.

It would be great if Grandpa Lu was still there. When he was busy, Zai Zai could have someone to accompany him at home.

At about ten o'clock on the night shift, Lu Ying went home with her son who was already asleep. The father and son slept on a 1.5-meter bed, which was more than enough, warm and comfortable. He set the alarm clock and fell into a good sleep as soon as he touched the bed.

At 03:30 in the morning, he woke up when Didi's mobile phone alarm clock rang for the first time.Lu Yingma slipped up, cleaned herself up within 10 minutes, touched her son's sleeping chubby face, locked the door and went out to her first morning shift.

At four o'clock in the morning, there were only sporadic vehicles and sanitation workers on the empty road.This job is tiring and dirty, and young people are afraid that no one is willing to do it. The aging of the workforce is serious, and most of them still have to do it. The bottom people have no choice.Lu Ying is not picky at all, but he is very grateful to Aunt Wang of the neighborhood committee who introduced him to this job. Although he is only a temporary worker and cannot become a regular worker, and the time period is also the most difficult one, but let’s sweep the street. Dispose of the street litter before he gets up, and his job is done.

After taking over, Lu Ying was quite satisfied. Firstly, the working hours were often short, and he was fast-moving, usually within two hours at the fastest, and four hours at the slowest.Secondly, this is the only job that doesn't involve dealing with too many people, it's too quiet and comfortable for him.Thirdly, the salary is not bad, anyway, it is cost-effective.Now he holds three jobs a day, earns more than [-] yuan a month, and has no mortgage or car loan. Except for kindergarten tuition fees of about [-] yuan a year and daily living expenses, he saves the rest for his son's future education.

His biggest goal at the moment is to let his son grow up healthily, so that he can become a college student, make money relatively easily in the future, and gain a firm foothold in human society.

This is the way out that he has thought for a long time for his son.You can't be like him, who hasn't read a book for a day, and the words and arithmetic he knows are all taught by Grandpa Lu at home, and he doesn't have a primary school diploma.He is not clever enough, and his eloquence is not good. There are really not many jobs to choose from.But Zai Zai is lucky to be able to study in school.For this reason, even though he, Lu Ying, is almost always around the clock, he is still full of energy.In the future, when his son can be self-reliant, he can make further plans, go to an evening school, adult university and so on to cheer himself up.Brother Yang said that the most important experience in being a human being is reading. People read from childhood to adulthood, and then they can gain a foothold in society and become useful people.People like them who came out of the mountains should read more books if they want to live a personal life.

It has been almost ten years since Lu Yingman planned to go out of the mountains to make a living, and he took a year off in between.In these years, he has a little understanding of the warmth and coldness of human relationships and the secular world.In short, there is no good way out for being illiterate. It is very difficult to find a job, and you will be ridiculed and ridiculed for no reason.He didn't think it was a big deal before, as long as he could eat enough.But... After experiencing all the emotions, he knew that he was becoming more and more like a human being.

The essence of being a human being, one word.

difficult!

On Sunday, Lu Ying has to go to work as usual.

There is no place for the children to go on weekends every week, and it is impossible to leave them alone at home for a long time. Fortunately, the fifth floor of the shopping mall where he works is a children's play area. It is convenient for the children to have a meal together and take it home after work.

Today I saved the time to go to the kindergarten to pick up the children. Lu Ying went straight to the fifth floor after getting off work at four o'clock, "Zai Zai, Dad will take you to the supermarket to buy delicious food."

Zai Zai, whose face was flushed from playing in the playground, immediately jumped out, put on his shoes not very neatly, and babbled endlessly: "Wow, wow, I want to buy jelly! Small fish biscuits, pig chocolate, Canned oranges..."

"It depends on the situation. If there are discounts, buy more. Sister Xiaoli, Zai Zai is not naughty today, is it?" Lu Ying touched her son's warm face and smiled and asked the elder sister who billed tickets in the playground.

Sister Xiaoli is about 40, and she smiled brightly when she heard the words, patted Zaizai on the shoulder and said, "There's nothing naughty about it, your Zaizai is very obedient, you can play happily by yourself, and even bring your younger siblings to play, this kid is very cute." You are sensible and considerate. It's really hard for you, a young father, to teach your children so well."

Every time the son is praised by Lu Ying, the corners of Lu Ying's mouth can't help but rise: "I have very little time to teach him. Grandpa played the basics well when he was young." He had no choice but to go to the village to make money to buy milk powder for Zai Zai.At that time, I could only see my son every night. Now that I bring the child with me, I don’t have much time alone.

Miss Xiaoli probably knew about Lu Ying's family situation, and sighed after hearing the words: "It's really not easy for you, but it doesn't matter, I am diligent and willing to endure hardships, and my children are obedient and sensible, and the days will always get better."

After chatting for a few words, Lu Ying left, watching the father and son leave, Miss Xiaoli looked back regretfully.Lu Ying is a young man she admires very much, and his diligence is hard to see now.Coupled with the incredible appearance, it's just a 'heartbeat' once you look at it.For a while, she frantically wanted to be a matchmaker for Lu Ying, but after thinking about it, there were not many suitable ones.Lu Ying's conditions are too poor, an orphan, no family property, and an illiterate who has never even attended elementary school. This kind of person, coupled with an extremely attractive appearance, not only does not add points, but makes people more cautious.She managed to find two suitable matchmakers, but she didn't expect that after asking, Lu Ying would disagree, and she didn't want to remarry at all!

Lu Ying led the child into the elevator, chose the first floor where the supermarket is located, and then reached the fourth floor. The elevator stopped, and a few staff members in suits and leather shoes came in. The first manager Zhang was his immediate boss. Lu Ying secretly sighed that it was unlucky .

Manager Zhang is in her 30s and is a capable married woman. Although she has only been in office for a few months, her colleagues admire her very much.

She looked at Lu Ying with a smile on her face: "Off work?"

"Ah."

The rest of the staff were silent, watching their noses, noses, and hearts.

Fortunately, the manager and his party quickly left on the second floor.

When Lu Ying arrived at the first floor, the text message on his mobile phone reminded him that when he clicked on it, his head was as big as a bucket.It wasn't the first time that Manager Zhang asked him to watch a midnight movie. Ever since Manager Zhang came over, he had been 'invited' in private from time to time.Similar situations have been encountered frequently over the years. Of course, there is a reason for a hardworking and hardworking person like him to change jobs frequently.

Lu Ying sighed quietly, touched her chin and asked her son, "Zai Zai, isn't Dad handsome and charming?"
