My family is as common as my name.
My mother calls me Nizi, which is the nickname that all rural girls will call. My scientific name is to change Nizi into a single name Ni, which means she is a girl. There are no good wishes, no good symbols, just one more girl in this world, an ordinary girl.
I am the third in my family, with two sisters above and one brother below. My background, you can imagine how unpopular, even the name is so scribbled. Looking back on my childhood, I can't talk about how happy I am, and I don't have much sadness. I just eat when I'm hungry, sleep when I'm sleepy, and play crazy in the fields with my bosom friends. Although I wear my sister's old clothes all year round, I grew up like a child drinking milk and eating bread.
I didn't get much love because my parents didn't have much time and energy to take care of me. Let the four of us eat and wear warm clothes, which exhausted all their strength. Only by working hard can they earn enough money for us to grow up next to our shoulders and spend more and more money. I think I am satisfied with clothes, food and school.
I am as strong as a lamb in the mountains. I seldom get sick. I have two pieces of red on my face and dark skin, and I wear two braids all the year round. My mother seldom combs my hair because I can comb it myself. I changed my mother's ponytail into two pigtails. I want to look as good as Fangfang in the village.
Fortunately, I studied well.
In order to save electricity at home, the TV set has become a decoration. I slowly lost interest in everything except books. There is a vast and colorful world in the book, which is much more interesting than the monotonous scenery in our village all year round. I spent all my spare time reading books, reading my own books, and then reading the books of my two sisters. There was no money to buy any extra-curricular books at home, so I read the textbooks used by my two sisters from beginning to end and read them with relish.
I know that only by studying well enough can I avoid being dropped out of school.

I can't compete with the female students in my class. Only when I put all my energy into my study will I not panic. I haven't thought about the future, but my destiny is only one way, school. I know this at all times.
In order to save some money, I eat steamed bread with boiled water. In order to spend more time studying, I often leave the classroom before the dormitory lights out.
The teacher praised me on the podium with my test paper, which offset the behind-the-scenes ridicule of my classmates for my bad life and inspired me to study hard.
In the third year of high school, my father said to me with a serious expression, Steve, you know the conditions of our family, and we are not qualified to be a tutor. No matter what you take this year, you can't repeat it.
Dad said these words and went out. He is afraid to see the tears in my eyes.
How eager I am to go to a favorite school. The teacher said that my first year was unstable. If I make up for another year, it won't be a problem to go to a first-class university.
Although I work hard and my grades are often the top three in our class, I still have a long way to go.
In our country, it is almost rare to go to college in the first year of senior three, and most people choose to repeat.
Although I am sure to be admitted to a university, it is an extravagant hope to be admitted to a good university.
I can't choose the way I want to go.

In order to get less tuition and subsidies, I went to a normal school.
Since my sophomore year, I have earned my own tuition through work-study programs. I can save my living expenses, and all kinds of scholarships are enough to pay my living expenses.
I seldom go home in winter and summer vacations. In order to save money and earn tuition for next semester, I chose to be a tutor.
My contact with my family became a phone call once a week and then once a month. My hometown has become a distant place in my dream.
I never thought about going back to my hometown after graduating from college. I don't want to go back to that place where I can't see any light
I met Gang in college. I know he is my kind. I am as poor and hardworking as he is.
I am used to getting what I want through my own hands. I feel uneasy about other people's charity or gifts.
I also know that I am ordinary in appearance, stubborn in character, rustic and unable to dress up, and the story of Cinderella will never happen to me.

After graduating from college, I just chose to drift north. I worked as a copywriter in a company and just worked as a salesman in a real estate company.
We got married a year after graduation. Our family is so much alike that my parents and I didn't give us a penny. At first, I borrowed the bride price from the rest of my family. The next day, I took it back to others, but it was just a formality.
Since neither family will give any subsidies, what's the difference between getting married one year later and getting married one year earlier?
Getting married early and living together can minimize all expenses.
That was so much like me.
We have no romantic fantasies about life. Since graduation, I have devoted myself to the harsh reality with a firm and brave attitude.
We must rely on our own strength to create the life we want.
I rented a basement where I can't see the sun. The basement is wet and dark all the year round, and we have carried it with our youth for several years.
In order to save money by bus, I only rode second-hand bicycles these years. We only buy meat on the day of pay every month, and buy the cheapest vegetables in the supermarket the rest of the time. The uncle who sells fruits recognizes that we only buy cheap fruits. Sometimes, he even gives us discounted fruits, and he doesn't forget to say that these two young people are really not easy.
When the salary we saved was enough to pay the down payment of the house in our hometown, we immediately bought the first house in our life.
On the day of delivery, I just cried in an empty concrete house. We finally have our own real home.
Both parents' homes have already drifted away from us. It's not easy to feed us when we grow up. They have been unable to resist the storms of life for us, and they can only move forward on their own.
I was just drifting in the north, but the thought that I had a house thousands of miles away made me practical and satisfied.
The monthly salary was paid, and the necessary living expenses were kept, and the rest of the money was used to decorate the home. Floor, sofa, tables and chairs, the appearance of an ideal home is presented bit by bit.
Gang and I are both very proud. Everything in this family, pots and pans, spoons and chopsticks, is earned by ourselves.

Just want two children. He said to give children enough love and a warm home.
I have been a full-time mother since I had my first child. Because no one can help us.
We rented a better house for the children. The rent is only one third of the salary. He said he didn't want his children to grow up in a place where they couldn't see the sun.
I had a sister when the boss was two years old. Seeing the hard work day and night in those years and the low back pain caused by the hard work in those years, I really don't want this child. Just made up his mind, he said, it's too difficult and lonely to be alone in this world.
I live in Beijing with my two-year-old child and my sister who is several months old. Gang's salary rose from 1 10,000 per month to 30,000.
My daily life is to take care of my family. Do your best to make nutritious meals for your children, wash the clothes of a family of four, and take some time to take your children downstairs to bask in the sun. A little more time is to accompany around the nearby supermarket.
Our life is still not rich. I wear old clothes and wear a simple ponytail all year round, and I don't care about beauty or fitness. I saved all my expenses except eating carelessly. I want to supplement nutrition for two children, buy some decent clothes for Gangzi, and set aside some expenses to deal with the sudden illness of children.
Our life can be said to be stretched.
In Beijing, we are floating foreigners. We speak Mandarin with a foreign accent. Our children can't find playmates. I have no friends. Except for the courier, I often don't see a stranger for a day.
Fortunately, the house mortgage in my hometown has been fully paid off. We just started buying a house in Hebei, and now all our efforts are aimed at giving our children a better future.
This year, I am 33 years old. I still haven't worn clothes above 500 yuan or used cosmetics above 200 yuan. Because no one takes care of him all the year round, his face becomes dim and yellow. I never go to any class reunion, and I have nothing to show off to others.

I have two sisters and one brother. But many times, I think there are only three relatives in this world, just two children and three relatives.
The children are still very young, and their lives are based on us. Just the only relative in the world whose blood is thicker than water.
Let's go through the storm together, fight against poverty and reality, use all our strength to open the gap in life and let in a ray of hope and light.
I, have been walking on the hard road of life. There is no gift or gift of fate.
I have been together with Gang, from young people to children in pairs, we will have white hair and a full house of children.
