Jiang Yan said that she was old and she wanted to drop out of school and earned money for her younger brother to study.

Jiang Lei said that he was a boy and should be responsible and could not let his sister sacrifice so much for him.

The two children were fighting on the side, and Dongyang listened quietly. Before the two children could compete, Dongyang was moved first.

Jiang Lei said: "Sister, it's already difficult for you girls. If you don't go to school, your life will definitely be even more difficult. Look at the sister Qiuqiu of my aunt next door, she is only two years older than you, and she is married and has almost given birth to a child. She comes out to work before she finishes junior high school. Look at her life now, do you want to be the same as her?"

It’s not that others are living a bad life, after all, only the parties involved know the ups and downs.

However, as outsiders, they can use this to determine whether the kind of life they live is what they want. If they don’t want to live such a life, they will have to continue reading this book.

To be honest, it was quite beyond Dongyang's expectation that Jiang Lei could say "It's not easy for girls" and that he had seen the lives of most girls in the world through Jiang Yan's life. In this realm, he had surpassed many people and could not compare with many adults.

Jiang Yan was also very persistent. No matter how hard the two of them fought, they couldn't get the result. In the end, Jiang Yan came up with an idea and said, "When the final exam results come out, let's look at the results. If you don't get good, you make money. If you don't get good, you can continue to get good. Will you do it?"

Before Jiang Lei answered, Dongyang said, "Okay, you two, our family is not yet at the point where you are rushing to drop out of school and make money to survive. Actually, I have known about the laid-off for a long time, and I have discussed with your father what to do in the future. You don't have to worry about us."

"Mom, what are you going to do in the future?" Jiang Yan asked with great concern.

Dongyang and Zhang Kuang hadn't figured it out yet, but they couldn't tell the truth now, otherwise the two children would have to fight again. Dongyang said, "It's not easy for me to find a job. I just want to run our small newsstand with your dad to see if it can sell something else."

In fact, the business of the newsstand has not been good in recent days. Students are on holidays and few people come to rent books at the end of the day, so the money they earn may not be enough to buy coal to make the heat.

Of course, we cannot tell the children that if it is the burden of adults, it must be carried by adults.

The two children thought Dongyang really had plans, so they calmed down for the time being and did not mention the matter of quitting school to make money.

That night, Dong Yang was so sad that she couldn't sleep, and Zhang Kuang was also worried like her.

This is not good and unstable for personal small transactions!

During the winter vacation, even if Zhang Kuang got up early and went to the newsstand every day to stay at the newsstand, he probably won’t make more than half a month as the school started.

One has little income and the other has no income. The income of two people plus one is not enough for the family’s expenses, let alone repaying debts and providing for children to study. This situation will be successful in one day or two days. If you can’t think of a solution, if you continue for a long time, the family will really make the money crazy.

"I have read a documentary article before, which probably talks about the experiences of some people after they are laid off. Some people survived, some people failed, some people were even more successful, and some people failed. At that time, I thought it was quite exaggerated. It really took me to experience it myself to find that it was really difficult, especially middle-aged people with old people and young people, which was too difficult," Dong Yang sighed.

Zhang Kuang was also quite emotional because he had written a volume, which was related to laid off and the ending was quite sad.

He used the general content of that volume to tell Dongyang as a story he had read.

At that time, Zhang Kuang was a worker in a ceramic factory and was a worker in his father's business. His father retired and took over his father's job. It doesn't matter whether he liked it or not, he just had a job.

He was laid off in the third year of working in a ceramic factory, and a large number of people in the ceramic factory turned into unemployed vagrants.

Zhang Kuang is still young, and he has studied after graduating from high school, so it is not difficult to find a job, but many colleagues in ceramic factories are not so lucky. Many of them have worked in ceramic factories for many years, have no other skills, and are not young. They all plan to work in ceramic factories until they retire and leave their positions for their children.

The sudden change puts many families on the verge of collapse.

There are too many laid-offs, and it is very difficult to re-employ. Some people choose to leave their hometowns to go to cities with more opportunities, some people give up their pride and do jobs that they originally looked down upon, some people use alcohol to relieve their sorrows and never cheer up again, and some people do things that they don’t want to be known to survive.

Zhang Kuang saw too many misfortunes during that time, and the only thing he was glad that he still had many opportunities to be young.

Now that the winter sun has become a laid-off person, he doesn’t even take advantage of his youth, so it’s hard to imagine how hard it is to cheer up again.

"I also think it's too difficult to find a job at this age. There are two ways to go: one is to leave here and go to more opportunities; the second is to do something by yourself. Judging from the current situation, the first is unrealistic. There are old, young and a patient at home, so it is impossible to leave at all, so I can only find a way to do something by myself." Dongyang calmly analyzed in combination with the story told by Zhang Kuang.

Zhang Kuang thought what she said made a lot of sense, but the key question is, what can she do?

Everything you do requires money, and now, they can't afford much money at all.

Dongyang sat up suddenly and looked at his watch. It was less than 7 o'clock in the evening.

"Let's go to the night market to check it out," said Dongyang, who had already gone to the ground to dress.

Zhang Kuang wanted to stop her but couldn't stop her, and said with a headache: "Can't you go to see it tomorrow? You have to go tonight."

"I can't sleep anyway so early, so I'll go over and take a look. I'll go by myself, so stay at home." After leaving this sentence, Dongyang left in a hurry, and didn't give Zhang Kuang a chance to reply.

The night market is not far from where they live, and it will be around ten minutes on foot.

The temperature is very low, but there are many people in the night market.

There are many stalls selling small things in the street market, all of which are very cheap. In addition, the stalls with the most customers are the stalls selling snacks.

Candied haws, frozen persimmons and pears, roasted sweet potatoes...

After walking around, Dongyang was hungry and bought a roasted sweet potato and chatted with the old lady selling roasted sweet potatoes while warming them.

After not having a long time of chatting, the old lady sold five or six roasted sweet potatoes, and the business was very good.

The old lady told Dongyang that roasted sweet potatoes are sold well in winter, and no one will eat them when the weather is warm. Candied haws and frozen pears are sold in winter and cannot be sold in other seasons. So they do this season, and they have to do other transactions after the season.

Dongyang doesn’t have the energy to do several transactions a year, and just wants to run a transaction that can be done all year round.

After staying in the night market for nearly three hours and chatting with several small vendors, Dongyang finally had some ideas.

When she walked home, Dongyang couldn't help but sigh that after writing the book "Marriage and Love Book", she almost became an omnipotent person. It was really not easy.
