Pei Congyue: If you have the ability, you must help those in need

In Mucun, Xinle City, as long as Pei Congyue and Pei Yueran sisters are mentioned, almost everyone knows. When the elder sisters were young, their parents divorced and their father became blind. They supported a family with their tender hands. What is more valuable is that the two sisters not only support themselves in life, but also study hard and achieve excellent results. Soon, her sister Pei Congyue will study engineering mechanics at Shijiazhuang Railway University. Her biggest wish now is to find a good job after graduation so that her father and sister can live a better life.

Pei Congyue is about 1.6 meters tall, wears glasses, looks quiet and speaks shyly. The yard is full of cucumbers, carrots and other vegetables planted by her and her sister. The two adobe houses look very dilapidated due to disrepair, coupled with the continuous torrential rain some time ago, causing the roof to leak very seriously. Pei Congyue said that every time it rains, she has to dig some soil and climb to the roof to repair it. Pei Congyue's room is connected to the kitchen, and many of the walls fall off because of perennial dampness. The tables and chairs by the Kang are donated by kind-hearted people for Pei Congyue and his sister to study.

As the saying goes, the children of the poor are in charge at an early age. When Pei Congyue was 11 years old, her parents divorced for various reasons, and she volunteered to stay and take care of her father. Her younger sister Pei Yueran, two years younger, was taken away by her mother, but within a few days, she missed her father and sister so much that she ran home again. Mother left, father blind, sister too young, washing, cooking and housework, naturally fell on Xiaocong Yue head. She gets up early and goes to bed late every day, using her tender little hands to support a family for her blind father and young sister. "it's all about packing and cooking at home. When my sister and I are older, we take turns to do it." Pei Congyue said that in order to save money, under the guidance of their father, the two sisters opened up a vegetable field in their yard and planted beans, cucumbers, eggplant and rape in spring; in autumn, they planted cabbage and radish, and with this vegetable garden, the family's food could be eaten from spring to Frosts Descent. "now, the arable land in the family has been rented out, and we can make a living by giving us wheat every year, plus some subsidies." Although they have a minimum standard of living, the pressure of life is still great. In order to earn money for family expenses, they go to nearby villages to set up stalls and sell balloons during holidays. The hardest part is winter, when the sisters shiver in their thin old cotton-padded clothes in the cold wind.

This summer vacation, Congyue and Yueran, as in previous years, also worked in village enterprises in order to cover tuition and living expenses for the next semester. "I usually work in an electric blanket factory on the edge of the village, mainly to check the electric blanket line, which is untidy and untidy. I have been working for three years." Congyue said that her sister started her work during the summer vacation when she graduated from the sixth grade of primary school. "up to now, I have been doing it every year, almost all summer vacation."

"what are you going to do when you go to the house?" In response to the reporter's question, Congyue said that because they were young, they were not happy at first. "We just told people to try first, or maybe it was not easy for us to do it." Sister Yue ran told reporters that the factory settled the wages of the two sisters on a daily basis. "Last year, I earned more than 1700 yuan alone."

In this difficult family environment, the two sisters keep on studying until late every night. There were no decent furnishings in the sisters' room, but there were books everywhere, a simple desk and a 15-watt incandescent lamp to accompany them to study late into the night. "the teacher always says that learning can change fate, so I want to study hard and improve my family when I grow up." In Pei Congyue's view, learning is actually quite fun. "take the third year of high school, for example, this year, papers and questions kept going down, but it never occurred to me that I was unwilling to learn. The more I learned, the more energetic I was. I was happy to finish the questions."

This year, my sister Pei Congyue was admitted to Shijiazhuang Railway University with excellent college entrance examination scores, while her younger sister Pei Yueran did well in her second year of high school in Xinle No. 1 Middle School. Pei Congyue said that with a score of 575, she could have had many choices, but she resolutely chose the school in the provincial capital to be closer to home to take care of her father and sister. "I think my father and sister are safe, in good health, and study hard every day." Pei Congyue also hopes to find a good job after graduation, and everything is getting better and better. "when I have the ability, I must help those who need help and pass on this love all the time." (reporter Cui Hong)
