[Recite the URL silently three times. Do you remember it? If you don’t remember, I’ll ask again in the next chapter. It’s best to share it on Facebook for me]

Although Jiang's father was persuaded by his daughter, he only ate bread for half a day. If he was fed again, he would use the excuse that he was full and refused to open his mouth no matter how much he tried to persuade her.

Jiang Jing stopped forcing herself and started preparing lunch.

The lunch was very sumptuous. In addition to a large bowl of stewed radish, she also cooked a seaweed and tofu soup. The staple food was baguette.

Today I will make an exception and be extravagant.

Just celebrate yourself for going to college.

Not long after lunch was prepared, Jiang Jing's two younger brothers came back. One was sixteen years old and was in the third grade of junior high school, and the other was thirteen and was in the fifth grade.

"Sister, why are you back?"

"Your sister has been admitted to college, and she came back to fill in her application this time." Jiang's father in the bedroom answered helpfully.

"Really? Sister, congratulations."

Brother Jiang quickly sent his blessings. As a junior high school student, he knew how difficult it is to get into college today.

As the old saying goes, thousands of troops cross a single-plank bridge.

When Little Brother Jiang saw the bread on the table, his eyes suddenly lit up and he stretched out his hand to grab it. The two brothers were growing tall and never had enough to eat.

"Snapped…"

"Sister, what are you doing?" Jiang Xiaodi said aggrievedly, covering the back of his hands.

Jiang Jing glared at him: "Let's eat together when mom comes back."

Little Brother Jiang curled his lips.

Brother Jiang looked at his eldest sister and suddenly wondered:

"Sister, you seem to have gained weight and turned gray!"

Jiang Jing touched her cheek.

During the half month in the bakery, although I worked overtime every day and the work was very hard, I still had two standard meals a day, plus "feeding" by my friends from time to time, so I gained some weight.

As for turning white, that's better explained.

She stayed in the factory all day long and didn't get any sunlight. She would be damned if she didn't turn white.

"Sister, have you found a boyfriend?"

Little Brother Jiang teased.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Jiang Jing knocked the melon seeds on her younger brother's head, "Sister, I work in the factory for more than ten hours every day. I'm so tired that I can't even straighten my waist. Do you really think you're here to enjoy yourself?"

"Sister, I was wrong." Jiang Xiaodi apologized quickly.

Jiang Jing touched her little brother's head and comforted her:

"Okay, no matter how hard it is in the factory, it's better than being hungry. Remember, little brother, you must study hard and try to get a position in the factory. It's very hard to get into the factory."

"Sister, as long as I have enough to eat, I'm not afraid of any hardship."

Jiang Hui looked like a newborn calf not afraid of tigers.

Before she finished speaking, Mother Jiang finally came back from get off work.

"Mom, eldest sister is back." Little Brother Jiang shouted loudly.

"I'm not blind."

Mother Jiang had a stinky face, and her job of sweeping the streets was very hard, especially in the summer when she was often so hot that she was sweating profusely.

Brother Jiang quickly reported the good news: "Mom, my sister has been admitted to college. She came back to fill in her application today."

"Whether she passes the exam or not has nothing to do with her family. Our family doesn't have a penny anyway."

"I have money, I don't need you to help me pay for my tuition."

Jiang Jing suppressed her anger.

"Old lady, I want to go to the toilet, please come over and help me." Jiang's father suddenly shouted.

Mother Jiang dropped the broom: "What are you shouting for? Here we come!"

Jiang Jing was so angry that she no longer cared about Jiang's mother and immediately called her brothers to eat.

About ten minutes later, Mother Jiang came out of the bedroom, her face looking much better.

"Where's the bread? Take it out and show it to me?"

"In the big bag in the kitchen." Jiang Jing lowered her head and continued eating.

Jiang's mother immediately ran into the kitchen. She counted it three times. There were a total of twenty-three loaves of bread in it.

That little girl is so lucky!

After putting away the bread, Mother Jiang went to the dining table and sat down. She picked up a loaf of bread and broke it in half. The remaining half was divided into two parts, one for her eldest son and one for her youngest son.

Jiang Jing drank kelp soup calmly.

Jiang's mother took two bites of the bread and felt that the bread was very good and made her feel full. It would be great if she could eat it every day.

While eating, she suddenly asked:

"Which university do you want to apply to?"

"Yangong University is very close to the bread factory. I can usually work part-time in the factory to earn living expenses." Jiang Jing replied.

"Well, you can keep one thousand yuan from your summer job as living expenses, and the rest should be given to your family. As you can see, the family is very short of money now."

Mother Jiang went straight to the point.

Although she was reluctant, Jiang Jing gritted her teeth and nodded. Their family's living conditions were indeed very difficult. Jiang's father's monthly medical expenses cost five to six hundred yuan.

In order to save money, I go to bed as soon as it gets dark at home and never turn on the lights, just to save a little on electricity bills.

In May, their electricity and water bills combined were less than fifty yuan.

Seeing that her daughter agreed, Mother Jiang was in a great mood!

"Besides, your brother is about to graduate from junior high school. Can you talk to your classmate and help your brother get recruited into the bakery as well?"

Brother Jiang's academic performance is not good and there is basically no hope for the college entrance examination. Brother Jiang does have some hope, but only a little.

"He doesn't go to technical school?" Jiang Jing asked in surprise.

“What’s the use of going to technical school?”

Mother Jiang shook her head and then explained:

"You don't have to go into a factory after graduation. Since you all go into a factory, it's better to go out and work early. I think your classmate's bread factory is not much worse than some large state-owned enterprises."

"No, he is not yet sixteen years old, the factory will definitely not accept him. Besides, our factory does not have a staff dormitory, and only recruits employees near the factory."

"Where do you live?"

"I live in my classmate's relative's house, and my elder brother can't move in too, right?"

Jiang's elder brother didn't want to embarrass his elder sister: "Mom, I have hands and feet, and I can find a job anywhere, so don't force me."

"What do you know, little brat? Mom is doing this for your own good." Jiang's mother said angrily.

"Mom, it's not that I don't want to help my elder brother, it's really impossible. Our factory is very popular, and all employees have been recruited long ago." Jiang Jing added.

"In the final analysis, you just don't want to help! The bakery is originally a classmate's family. It's not a matter of a word from them whether to recruit people or not?"

"Mom, how can you say that?"

Jiang's mother saw that her daughter was really angry, so she didn't dare to force her too much, lest she lose both people and money.

Jiang Jing calmed down and finally looked at her eldest brother and said, "Xiao Jie, I think... it's better for you to go to a technical school. After all, it's good to learn a skill."

"But the tuition?"

"Don't worry about the tuition. The tuition for a technical school is only a thousand yuan a year. I'll pay for it for you." Jiang Jing said generously.

"What about living expenses?" Jiang's mother asked.

"I'll take care of the living expenses too."

Jiang Jing calculated that if she and her eldest brother were frugal, a thousand yuan would be enough for their living expenses.

"Second brother, why don't you say thank you to your sister?"

"Thank you, sister!"

Jiang's eldest brother felt very uncomfortable. He was a grown man, but he had to rely on his eldest sister for support. His eldest sister worked too hard.

"You're my brother, why thank me!"

Jiang's mother nodded with satisfaction. Although she couldn't solve her eldest son's job problem, it wasn't bad to go to a technical school. He might be able to get into a state-owned enterprise after graduation.

This is a stable job!
