At the age of 17, she fought for the glory of her motherland!

Chapter 1090 1 Elbow

Su Xing was stunned when he saw this childish yet sad little poem.

The little girl named Zhao Xinxin found that her notebook had fallen. She stopped, turned around and looked at Su Xing who picked up her notebook.

She whispered, "Sister, can you give me the notebook?"

Su Xing came back to his senses and handed the notebook back, "Here."

Zhao Xinxin took the notebook and gave her a shy smile, "Thank you."

Cheng Xiuning then said, "Tomorrow is Sunday, why don't you do your homework during the day?"

Zhao Xinxin said, "There are a lot of chores to do at home during the day. I have to herd sheep, feed pigs and chickens, and get up early to get medicine for grandma."

"That's it..."

Cheng Xiuning was puzzled: This little sister is so young, why does she have to do all the housework?

Zhang Caifeng didn't find it strange. She grew up in the village. Her parents paid great attention to the education of their children and rarely ordered her and her brothers and sisters to do farm work.

But she has also seen too many children who have been helping with housework since childhood, and many of them dropped out of school after completing nine years of compulsory education to go to work. What's worse, there are even some children who are not allowed to finish junior high school.

Su Xing roughly guessed Zhao Xinxin's family background from her poem.

Zhao Xinxin had already put the notebook back into her schoolbag and said to Su Xing and the other three girls, "Sisters, I'm leaving first."

She said, waving to them.

"Bye, little sister."

"Goodbye."

"Bye~"

The three girls also waved goodbye to Zhao Xinxin.

Zhao Xinxin walked quickly towards home.

Cheng Xiuning looked at Zhao Xinxin's back and whispered, "She has to go to school and do so much work. Her family is treating her like an adult laborer, right?"

Su Xing said: "Maybe she really is the pillar of the family."

Hearing her words, Cheng Xiuning and Zhang Caifeng immediately looked at her.

At this time, the girl who had previously said that Zhao Xinxin's family was reluctant to use electricity came over again.

She said: "Zhao Xinxin's parents are both gone, her grandmother takes medicine every day, and she and her grandfather are the only ones doing the work at home."

Su Xing couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.

Cheng Xiuning and Zhang Caifeng both widened their eyes in shock.

Zhang Caifeng subconsciously asked, "Why are her parents gone?"

The little girl said, "Her parents were working in the city a few years ago and had a car accident."

When Su Xing and the other three girls heard this, they felt a pang in their hearts.

Cheng Xiuning said: "This is too sinful!"

Zhang Caifeng said, "It's so pitiful to lose both parents all of a sudden."

Su Xing sighed: "Alas... yes, so pitiful..."

She thought of Zhao Xinxin, and then of her grandparents and great-grandparents. It was so pitiful for the two families of old people to see their children die young.

The little girl who spoke to them was very talkative. Without them asking, she talked about Zhao Xinxin's family, her own family, and the situations of her friends around her.

Zhao Xinxin also has an uncle and two aunts. Her two aunts have married a long time ago, and her uncle got married last year.

The little girl lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "I heard from my mother that her uncle used her parents' compensation money to marry his wife."

Su Xing and the other three girls couldn't help but look at each other.

Zhao Xinxin's grandparents and great-grandparents all have the right to distribute the compensation from her parents.

If her grandparents used their own portion of the compensation to help their youngest son get married, it was their own wish and no one could say anything.

I just don’t know if Zhao Xinxin still has the share she deserves.

The little girl chatted with Su Xing and the others for a long time until her sister at home called her home from afar, and she was reluctant to leave.

"Sisters, I'm going home soon. I'll come play with you again when I have time. Please remember me. My name is Wei Lan."

"Ok."

"Remember, Wei Lan."

"Go back quickly, goodbye Wei Lan."

Wei Lan skipped home.

It was already dark, and lights were on in every house, with television images visible through some windows.

"Shall we go back?"

"Let's go."

Su Xing and the other three girls stood up and walked towards the living base.

After returning to the cave where they lived, the three of them took a shower and started to write their work logs.

After finishing their work, Cheng Xiuning and Zhang Caifeng played with their mobile phones for a while before taking a break.

Su Xing started working on the draft again.

……

The next day is Sunday.

They come here for field internship, but it's not all non-stop.

On Sunday, all construction sites stopped working and the teachers and students of Kyoto University were no exception and also took a break.

Su Xing still gets up before dawn and goes out for morning exercise.

Security guard Lao Liu encountered the ferocious Su Xing again.

He walked closer and asked curiously, "Girl, do you have to get up so early every day to practice?"

"Good morning, Uncle Liu." Su Xing stopped and smiled, "Yes, I get up at this time every day for morning exercises."

Old Liu nodded, "You're quite determined..."

Su Xing said: "I'm used to it."

……

After breakfast.

Some students asked for leave from Professor Hu and other teachers, saying that they wanted to visit nearby towns or cities.

The teacher instructed everyone, "Walk in groups, don't go too far, and come back early."

The students nodded in agreement.

"I know, teacher."

"We'll be back this afternoon."

Su Xing and three other girls also planned to go out for a walk.

They didn't plan to go too far, so they went to a nearby town.

There was a rural bus going that way that passed by the village where they lived.

They and several other students who wanted to go shopping waited at the village entrance for a while, waited for the bus to arrive, and got on it.

Villagers from several nearby villages take this bus to go to the market on Sunday morning.

The car was quite crowded, with people even sitting on the bulge in the engine compartment.

Some people were sitting in the aisle with small stools.

Normally, this kind of overloading is not allowed. However, on market days, these rural buses have a lot of passengers and everyone squeezes on the bus. This is what happens when no one checks.

Su Xing sat on a chair by the aisle and noticed that the villagers sitting on small stools next to her kept leaning on her. She couldn't help but frown.

When the man leaned towards her again, she elbowed him.

She hit him hard, and the man cried out in pain, "Ouch!"

Everyone in the carriage looked over in the direction of the sound.

The man covered the place where he was hit, his expression twisted, and glared at Su Xing, "Why are you hitting me?!"

Su Xing's voice was cold, "What are you doing leaning on me?"

The man tilted his neck and argued, "Who leaned on you? The road was so bumpy, I just bumped into you accidentally!"

Su Xing said calmly, "Oh, yes, the road was so bumpy, I just bumped into you accidentally, why did you get angry?"
