Feng Jiaojiao was born into poverty. Her parents did not read much, so she could only make a living by farming and selling coolies throughout her life. When Feng Jiaojiao was 3 years old, her mother gave birth to a younger brother. The family of four lived together, and their expenses increased a lot.
Fortunately, Feng Jiaojiao's parents both work. Although the salary is meager, they can still support the small family.
When Feng Jiaojiao couldn't sleep when she was a child, she would pester her mother to tell her stories. But her mother had never gone to school and had no ink in her stomach, so she couldn't tell any good stories, so she had to turn her own experiences into stories to tell her daughter.
Feng Jiaojiao’s mother is named Tang Ronglian. Tang Ronglian originally had a good marriage, but because the man could not afford the bride price, her family firmly opposed the marriage, and finally she was forcibly married to another family in the next village, Feng Jiaojiao's father.
Although she was married, Tang Ronglian was unwilling to let her fate be controlled by others. She always ran away quietly, but the consequences were always the same: she was caught by her father and beaten violently.
Over time, Tang Ronglian gave up the idea of escape, not only because there was no hope of escape, but also because she had two children.
After hearing her mother's story, Feng Jiaojiao shed tears of distress, "Mom, when I grow up, I will definitely take you out to see her."
Tang Ronglian touched Feng Jiaojiao's head and smiled happily.
From then on, Feng Jiaojiao studied hard and became the student with the best grades in the class. She received a three-good student certificate every year. Over the years, the wall of her home was covered with certificates.
Feng Jiaojiao feels that with her current grades, it is no problem to get into college. When she graduates and gets a job, she will be able to fulfill her promise to her mother.
However, something unexpected happened. During Feng Jiaojiao's senior year in high school, his father drank too much at a friend's house and fell unconscious in the snow on the way home. When his mother found him, he was already stiff.
The death of his father means that all the burdens of the family will fall on his mother. Feng Jiaojiao cried as she watched her mother go out early and come back late every day, working hard and making her already thin body even more skinny.
"Mom, I don't want to study anymore. Let my brother go to study. I'll stay and help you with things so that you can feel more relaxed."
Tang Ronglian shouted: "What nonsense? As long as I am here for a day in this family, you don't have to worry about it! You just go to school with peace of mind. Mom will take care of the money!"
Feng Jiaojiao knew her mother's good intentions, so she held back her tears and studied harder. Finally, she was admitted to a normal university in the province. She didn't have to pay tuition and could get a job in the future. In this way, the mother will not be burdened.
On the day she received the admission notice, Feng Jiaojiao showed it to her mother as if she were offering a treasure. Tang Ronglian took the notice and brushed the words on it with trembling palms, feeling very excited inside.
Tang Ronglian couldn't understand the words on it, so she asked her daughter, "Is this the admission notice? Can I go to college with this piece of paper?"
Feng Jiaojiao nodded heavily: "Yes!"
"Okay, okay!" Tang Ronglian burst into tears. She returned the notice to Feng Jiaojiao and told her to keep it well, and then hunched out.
Feng Jiaojiao looked around, her mother was bathed in the sunshine, her body was golden, and her back seemed not so rickety anymore.
A few days later, the news that Feng Jiaojiao was admitted to university spread throughout the village. Many people came to the door with eggs or vegetables to congratulate her, but there were also some people who made sarcastic remarks behind her back, saying that if Feng Jiaojiao went out, she would never come back.
Faced with these words, the family of three did not care. Over the years, they have been through wind and rain. They all believe that each other is the closest family member and will not abandon each other.
The day before Feng Jiaojiao left, Tang Ronglian stewed a chicken for the first time and gave each of her siblings a chicken drumstick. Then she said to her younger son, "You have to learn from your sister, get into a good university, and find a decent job. You won't have to work as hard as your mother in the future."
The youngest son, Feng Shan, bit the drumstick while vaguely agreeing.
The next day, Feng Jiaojiao packed up her luggage and got on the bus, leaving the village where she had lived for more than ten years. When she arrived at university, Feng Jiaojiao adapted quickly. She made friends of her own and often made appointments to study in the library.
Because of her good academic performance, Feng Jiaojiao was often praised by her teachers, and her classmates also envied her. In addition, Feng Jiaojiao also used her spare time to do work-study studies, saved some money, and bought a mobile phone. Sometimes she would call her mother when she felt homesick.
In her sophomore year, Feng Jiaojiao was completing her studies step by step. Suddenly one day, she received a call from her mother.
As soon as Feng Jiaojiao answered the phone, she felt dizzy.
It turns out that my younger brother is seriously ill and is lying unconscious in the hospital!
Feng Jiaojiao didn't have time to think too much, so she immediately asked for leave and rushed to the hospital where her brother was staying.
Seeing her daughter coming, Tang Ronglian choked up and said: "A week ago, your brother suddenly fainted in class and was sent to the town hospital for examination. The doctor didn't know what the disease was, so he took him to the city hospital for treatment. As a result, the doctor here said that your brother had a hemangioma."
"I didn't want to delay your study, so I just kept it from you, but last night your brother was critically ill and was sent to the operating room. I called you in a panic, but he is fine now. The doctor said that your brother is out of danger for the time being. "
"You are tired from coming here all night. I will buy you something to eat." Tang Ronglian wiped her tears and turned around.
Looking at her mother's retreating back, Feng Jiaojiao never imagined that her mother would be gone for the rest of her life.
In order to buy food for her daughter, Tang Ronglian was accidentally hit by a car while crossing the road and died on the spot. When Feng Jiaojiao heard the news and rushed to the scene, she saw her mother lying in a pool of blood and fainted on the spot.
Later, Feng Jiaojiao endured her grief and briefly handled the posthumous affairs for her mother without telling her brother, and then took care of her brother. The hospital said that to cure her brother, the cost of follow-up treatment would be at least 250,000 yuan, which was an astronomical sum for Feng Jiaojiao.
After her mother passed away, Feng Jiaojiao had no choice but to drop out of school in order to take care of her younger brother. Now that she learned that the treatment cost was so huge, she felt distraught.
She was just a sophomore girl. Just because she answered a call from her mother, she not only had to drop out of school to take care of her younger brother, but now she also had the responsibility of taking care of her younger brother. She suddenly felt that her life was in a quagmire.
But Feng Jiaojiao did not give up because of this. She firmly believed that she would be able to raise 250,000 yuan, and she also believed that her brother would be able to regain his health. Only in this way can she live up to her mother's spirit in heaven.
