In the vast land of the mainland, there are countless families, each with its own story, and what I want to tell today is a story about family, affection and hope.
The protagonist of the story, named Gao Xiaomei, is an ordinary rural woman who was born into a poor family with three sisters, a younger brother and a younger sister, and herself. For as long as she can remember, she began to help her parents with farm work, cutting pigweed, fish grass, cooking with firewood, and sometimes following her parents to weed.
Xiaomei's younger brother, named Xiaoqiang, has been carrying his schoolbag to school since he was a child, and Xiaomei can only stay at home, watching his younger brother leave, his heart is full of envy. One day, Xiaomei plucked up the courage and expressed to her father that she wanted to go to school, however, her father told her that it was useless for girls to go to school, so it was better to go home and cut pigweed. When her mother heard this, she pulled Xiaomei to her side and whispered to her that the family had no money for her to go to school.
However, Xiaomei did not give up, she carried a basket up the mountain to mow the grass every day, and one day, her mother suddenly found her in excitement and told her that her father had borrowed money from the second uncle so that she could go to school. Xiaomei cried excitedly, she could finally go to school like her younger brother.
At school, Xiaomei studied hard, and when she returned home, she still had to help her parents with farm work, but she was very happy. However, in the third year of junior high school, her father suddenly changed his mind and asked her to go home to help and stop going to school. Xiaomei is reluctant to give up, her grades have always been good, and she doesn't want to lose the opportunity to go to school. Under the persuasion of the head teacher, her father finally agreed to let her continue to go to school, but on one condition, that is, she could not board at the school and would continue to help the family with farm work.
Xiaomei left school in tears and started a life of part-time work. She used the income from her part-time job to support her brother's education, which helped him finish high school and then college. And in the process, she also met her other half and had her own family.
Last year, Xiaomei's son was admitted to university, and she was very happy, but at the same time, she was also worried about her son's tuition fees. She came to her brother's house, hoping to get some help, but her brother-in-law was dismissive of her second education and was unwilling to lend her money. Xiaomei felt very lost, she understood what her brother-in-law meant, and she also knew that she didn't want to lend her money.
However, Xiaomei did not give up, she continued to work hard, and she believed that as long as she worked hard, her son would definitely have a better life. She continues to work part-time, continues to work hard, and she believes that as long as she works hard, her son will definitely have a better life.
This story teaches us that no matter how hard life is, as long as we don't give up, there is always hope. Xiaomei's story is a story about hope and hard work.
