If you have enjoyed it, you have to live a hard life, and this day will not be ordinary.
I keep thinking about how well I lived before, but now it’s so bitter, I can’t live anymore.
Qi Yingmeng was young and spoiled to grow up at home. If nothing happens, he should still be in school.
When I got here, I couldn't go to school, and I had to go to work. Qi Yingmeng always felt that the adult world was quite far away from him, but now he actually wants to work.
It's time to earn money to support the family.
Can't study and want to work
She is obviously still a child.
Yu Binglan saw that Qi Yingmeng was unwilling, and said directly: "You haven't seen those little girls on the street, who are eight or nine years old, who are also carrying baskets and peddling things along the street."
"You are already sixteen and seventeen, can't you do this?"
"If we don't work, we can't live anymore, we have no food, and we are hungry every day."
Qi Yingmeng couldn't resist, almost crying, and looked at Yu Binglan stubbornly, "Then what are you doing?"
"Of course I paint, painting portraits of others on the street."
In short, the family of three had discussed, and Qi Yingmeng was going to a Chinese restaurant to find a job as a waiter.
There are also domestic people who open Chinese restaurants here, making some Chinese food for Chinese people, and some foreigners who are early adopters.
As for Qi Hongchang, go to the factory.
Qi Hongchang refused the factory. He is an intellectual at any rate. How could he be a worker, especially a worker who is so lucky.
It is squeezed and exploited.
But Yu Binglan asked him to give it a try, and if he couldn't do it, then change his job.
If they don't make any more money, they will be kicked out.
I rented a small house, and the landlord was a fat woman, staring at them all day, as if they were going to steal something.
The discriminatory eyes follow him like a shadow, and I often hear discriminatory and insulting words in the mouth of fat women.
But they have no choice but to endure it like this, fearing that the landlord will drive them out directly, and just sleep on the street.
Grab a place with those homeless people.
A family of three lives in a small room, and Qi Hongchang and Yu Binglan have no choice but to do something between husband and wife.
Only when Qi Yingmeng fell asleep could he secretly and rustlely do things.
Qi Yingmeng was also very embarrassed, no matter how small the voices of these two people were, they could still be heard.
Why do you have to go abroad to suffer? Remember to stay at home, a large room with a separate room, and someone to serve you.
It's not like here, living in a cramped room, and there are still three people, getting along from morning to night every day, in the room, you have to walk sideways to let people pass.
What is this called
No matter how bad life is in China, it is better than this.
Everything is eaten here, even at home, my mother deducted a bit, but there are a few dishes for three meals a day, even fried greens are better than these cold bread.
Putting something strange on the bread is really not good at all.
And sometimes the cheap bread you buy has a bit of musty smell. In short, the taste is really not so hard to swallow.
She missed home, missed her mother, missed school, and her classmate was a teenager, and missed everything.
You can eat delicious Western food in your own country, but you never have a chance to eat it abroad.
Qi Yingmeng cried silently. If she could choose, she would choose to be with her mother instead of being a light bulb.
Dad and Yu Binglan are the closest, she is an outsider.
If you are with your mother, they are relatives who depend on each other for life, they are relatives connected by blood.
Every night, Qi Yingmeng feels lonely, and especially wants to cry.
The next day, I will start working hard for a day's livelihood.
Everything that used to be like heaven, a dream.
She often thinks again, if her father and mother were still together without Yu Binglan, this family would not have an umbrella, and so many things would not happen afterwards.
She will not go abroad and come to this unaccompanied foreign country.
She is still the little official, still living in the spacious mansion, in the school with clear windows, reading and writing, with braids, and wearing small leather shoes, pleated skirt and cheongsam uniform.
Because of Yu Binglan's arrival, everything has changed, Qi Yingmeng hates Yu Binglan more and more in her heart.
Especially if you encounter any problems at work, the more you hate Yu Binglan.
Qi Yingmeng was lucky enough to become a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. The Chinese restaurant saw that she was a little girl and a native of another country, so she let her work here.
In addition to serving dishes and greeting guests to clean the table, when there are no guests, Qi Yingmeng also cleans and cleans the dishes.
These are nothing, especially those who come to eat, many of them are vicious and distasteful, and they don't even give tips.
He even whistled to Qi Yingmeng, said low-level vocabulary, and even moved her.
Qi Yingmeng had no choice but to endure it in order to survive. When the day was over, he had to return to the cramped small room and eat the bread that seemed to be broken.
This kind of life is really suffocating.
But these were all her choices, and Qi Yingmeng just wanted to cry.
The faces of all three of them showed tired and stressed expressions.
Old and tired.
Yu Binglan's aura, grace and ease seemed to be gone.
Yu Binglan, who paints with soul, has no business recently.
Now in the Great Depression, who would have such a leisurely sentiment to make a self-portrait.
It's better to go to a photo studio to take a picture in painting, it's more foreign than painting.
Moreover, sitting still and letting people paint, take pictures, and finish in a few seconds.
In order to survive and run around, how can there be such a leisurely sentiment.
So the soul painter Yu Binglan discovered for the first time that every painting here appreciates her aura.
There was no business, but a man came up and wanted to spend some money to applaud Yu Binglan for love.
I was so angry that Yu Binglan was about to explode, and the rejected foreigner looked at a loss. Why do you disagree with such a stall
Whatever you love me, if you don't want me, I don't want it.
But it seems that he is an oriental face, and he has never made an oriental face before, so try it.
Survival is under pressure at this time, cheap beer and big glasses of girls are a way for men to relieve stress.
In fact, oriental faces are not considered beautiful to these foreigners, their outlines are not prominent, and their faces are not three-dimensional.
In the eyes of these foreigners, Yu Binglan is really not beautiful.
As for Qi Hongchang, in the factory where the machines are booming, it feels terrible. After doing it for a day, it feels like he's going to die. He can't afford to crawl on the bed anymore.
The dust was loud and the voice was loud, Qi Hongchang felt that he was going to be deaf.
In short, the three people who wanted to survive in a foreign country regretted coming here.
