can earn their own tuition, and the two sisters are very proud. Although the whole summer vacation, we must associate with garbage and flies.
in the summer vacation, as long as the weather is good, the two sisters will get up on time at 6. In addition to having to go home for lunch at noon, the two people always stay next to the trash bin until dark.
before sunset, they picked up all kinds of scraps that they had picked up and moved them to their father's tricycle. Jars, plastic bottles, cardboard, extracurricular books, and dusty toys. When lucky, they can even pick up intact instruments and electrical appliances, including two harmonica and a radio.
their father, Wei Xiuguo, 45, said the family's financial situation has been bad.
last year, in order to have a stable reading environment for the child, he ended the wandering life around the odd job, contracted 5 acres of paddy field in Dongyang, "the contract fee of farming, or a good neighbor, Mr. Jiang."
the family's predicament and neighbors' help, sensible sisters see it in their eyes. They often pick out some leftovers and leftovers from the garbage dump, and pack them to their neighbors, Mr. Jiang, to feed pigs.
sister Wei Feng has been following his parents. Sister Weg arrived in Dongyang only last year.
Wei Xiuguo said that when her sister arrived last year, her academic record was not very good. "All subjects can only take three or four tests."
now, Weg can score seven or eight to 10. For this achievement, his father felt very gratified. "Over the past year, progress has been really great."
life is hard, but the sisters are very sensible. Every weekend after school, they go to pick up scrap.
is opposite the road, a factory, the security Hu root Fang and two children very familiar, "they are very smart, pick up a beer bottle, and get a nearby shop, ask the boss or not, so that a little more money."
Master Hu said that good hearted people often leave empty bottles and cardboard to them, and others send them clothes that their children wear.
once, a middle-aged man who was picking up wastage tried to grab the two piled bottles. Master Hu did not see the past and rushed back to the "flower escort".
"it's not a thing, even a child's stuff!" Master Hu was a little excited. He said that the man was scared and threw away the bottle. "Then he never came here again."
