mother hit 4 jobs to hold a home
the day before, the reporter came to a 211 university in Wuhan, in the two floor of the sports center, there was a spare toilet. Here is the home of Wang Xiumei's mother-in-law and her father. Wang Xiumei lived in the cottage less than 10 square meters for 10 years.
Wang Xiumei is thin, but he can walk and speak powerfully. He can not see that he is 59 years old.
her hometown was in Chang Gang Shan village, Xu Gu Town, Xinzhou district. When he was young, he served as a substitute teacher in primary school in the village. Her husband was once a well-known local gifted man with poor health and asthma and chronic bronchitis. Now there are serious cataracts in the eyes, which can not be seen in the left eye and light perception in the right eye. Yu dad said that for decades, a family's livelihood almost depended on Wang Xiumei.

In 2006, the eldest son was quick at the college entrance examination. His little son just went to junior high school. She thought of a bigger cost. Under the introduction of a good man, she came to the university hospital as a cleaning man and lived in the vacant toilet.
at that time, the monthly salary was only 520 yuan, and it was not easy to maintain a family's life. With her husband taking medicine for a long time, she was worried about tuition for two sons for a long time. A son's tuition fee of less than 200 yuan per semester has to be pennies and scraps.
over the years, she played 4 jobs at the same time: get up at 5 o'clock in the morning, go to the nearby KTV cleaning first, sell soya bean milk at 7 o'clock, get to the school at 7 o'clock to do the cleaning, noon break time to the restaurant, continue to be a cleaning worker in the afternoon, and then go to the restaurant in the afternoon until late at night 11 points, and sleep only four or five hours a day.
has many part-time jobs, but she is never late, so she can get her time to work places. Sometimes it was too late to cook, so he told his son to cook for his husband, and he chew a steamed bread and eat bowls of noodles on the stall.
, she said, thinking of her son is so sensible, so hard to go forward, oneself again tired again tired heart is sweet.
over the past two years, Wang Xiumei was very old. With the persuasion of two sons, she quit selling soy milk and restaurant chores, and was still working two jobs.
failed to win the battle against Peking University graduate student
life was not easy, but bringing up two sons made Wang Xiumei proud.
Wang Xiumei recalls that the elder son, Xiao Guang, was not easy to graduate from the University of Wu Da, but said that he wanted to take the graduate students in Peking University and also to be a professional. She was doubtful. "You failed to pass the undergraduate examination and did you want to graduate?"
2014 one day, Xiao Guang suddenly called her: "Mom, where do you guess I am?" I was in Beijing University, I did it! "
the mountain village flew out of the Golden Phoenix, and the news spread quickly, but Xiao Guang was very low-key. He said that even if he was admitted to Peking University, he would have a long way to go.
recalled the family's experience over the past decade, and Wang Xiumei had mixed feelings. Facing the reporter of Chutian Metropolis Daily, he told the unheard of hardship.
Xiao Guang decided to change his fate from reading to studying, but his talent was general and his study was hard.

In junior high school, he was abnormally hard, but also can barely keep up with the first echelon, the exam to adjust the key more than 100 points from the city, thinking of poor family, he decided to read hard, two months later into the city key high school.
the college entrance examination is coming. The goddess of luck has not patronized. Xiao Guang wants to enter into a famous University of Wuhan University and Hua Ke. However, she is still ten points away from a line. With the support of his parents, he decided to fight for another year, and fortunately he scored 1 points in Wuhan University.
in Wu Da, he is a tutor, the winter vacation to the hotel, Internet cafe to work, considering the employment prospects are not ideal, he decided to transfer to professional, for the professional graduate students, the target lock-in Beijing University. In the first year, he went to a water conservancy enterprise in Zhejiang and felt the general prospect.
Wang Xiumei said that Xiao Guang did not disclose his resignation, quietly returned to Wuhan, worked as a tutor to maintain his life, and grind to the postgraduate entrance examination. Second years postgraduate entrance examination is still failed, the third attempt in 2014, and finally succeeded.
