Chapter 108 The Child is Too Sensible

"... Still no?" It

's not that there is no.

It's just that she didn't expect that the tuition fees in the town are different from those in the countryside.

It seems to include lunch, two sets of school uniforms, one thick and one thin, and a uniform school bag, as well as the cost of going to various exhibition halls and field study.

There is not much money left from the money that Brother Wenfeng gave her, and it is not enough if she takes it all out, unless she uses the two hundred yuan that Feifei gave her.

But that money was the money that Feifei and she had partnered to set up the stall, and she couldn't touch it.

Fan Qingyi's expression was not right, and Li Liuli noticed it at the first time.

She pinched her face and thought for a while, then asked Teacher Cao, "Our home is nearby, can we go home for lunch at noon? And can we not go to the exhibition hall and study abroad?"

This way, she can save money on lunch and also avoid the expenses of going to the exhibition hall and studying abroad.

Teacher Cao shook his head, "Lunch is a nutritious meal specially prepared by the school. It is very beneficial to your physical and intellectual development at your age. I don't suggest canceling it."

"... And going to the exhibition hall to study and study abroad, relying solely on the knowledge in books is far from enough. At your age, you need to expand your knowledge and go out to gain experience. The exhibition hall can well visualize the knowledge in the textbooks and give you a deeper feeling..."

He paused, "Do you understand what I mean?"

Li Liuli pursed her lips and said nothing, while Li Zhenzhu squinted her eyes.

"Teacher Cao, I understand. The school is for the good of the children. I think of a way. Don't worry, I will definitely help the children learn..."

Fan Qingyi didn't finish his words and was stopped by Li Liuli.

"Mom, we won't do it anymore."

"Ali!"

[We don't have any money at home. We need money to rent the yard and to support me and my two younger sisters. Mom has been forced to set up a stall to earn money. Where is the money?!]

[We can't help Mom and we can't be a burden to her anymore.]

Hearing her eldest daughter's voice, Fan Qing felt a lump in her throat and she held her daughter's shoulders.

"Ali, mom has money. Your dad used to give mom pocket money, but mom secretly saved it..."

Li Zhenzhu pouted, "Mom is lying, you don't have any money at all."

"I have..."

Fan Qingyi was still trying to convince the two sisters, but Li Liuli had already turned around and bowed to Teacher Cao, "Thank you, Teacher Cao, we won't go back."

After saying that, she pulled Li Zhenzhu with one hand and pushed Fan Qingyi with the other to leave.

"Hey! Wait."

Teacher Cao was so anxious that he almost broke out in a sweat, "Give me a chance to talk."

He looked at the two well-behaved and sensible girls, and liked them more and more.

"Ali is the eldest, right? You... are so sensible." She

is only ten years old, but she is already so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

No wonder they say that children of poor families grow up early.

"It's not a big deal, but you can't let it delay your studies!"

Teacher Cao was full of love for talent, and sympathized with their family's real difficulties, so he smiled and comforted them, "The school has several places for free tuition every year. You have excellent grades and your family conditions are also met. I will help you apply! Don't worry..."

He paused halfway and looked up at Fan Qingyi, "Tomorrow is Saturday, and there will be no classes in school. So, you can bring the two children to report on Monday."

He pointed to the guardhouse, "I'll wait for you there at 8 o'clock."

Li Zhenzhu's eyes lit up slightly, and she squeezed Li Liuli.

Li Liuli licked her lips and glanced at the beautiful two-story teaching building behind Teacher Cao. She was very excited, but more worried.

"What if there are no vacancies..."

Teacher Cao frowned and pretended to glare at her, "What are you talking about? There will definitely be more!"

Even if he didn't pester her, she had to get one out of the principal!

"I'll take care of this. You can go back without worry. Have fun these two days. When you come to school on Monday, you have to study hard. The learning progress in the town is not as fast as in the countryside, especially for the two of you. There are still many things to learn..."

Teacher Cao was so anxious when she thought that these two good seedlings might not even know what the Olympics are. She wished that tomorrow was Monday so that she could give the two of them a big science lesson first.

Li Zhenzhu was confused when she heard it.

Li Liuli looked at the excited Teacher Cao and was also a little at a loss.

"Ali's mother, is this a deal?"

The contrast between Teacher Cao before and after was quite large, and Fan Qingyi didn't know how to deal with it.

Li Shanhu saw something and laughed.

[Mom, this teacher must think that my elder sister and second sister are smart, and that they are wasting their talent for studying in the countryside...]

[Mom, promise him, promise him! It's a waste if they can't study for free. As long as my elder sister and second sister study well, the book money and tuition fees are trivial. At most, we can make up for it when we make money in the future.]

[The teacher is right. My elder sister and second sister's studies are important!]

Hearing his little daughter's voice, Fan Qingyi lowered his head slightly and glanced at her. The little guy winked at her.

Fan Qingyi's heart suddenly calmed down.

She raised her eyes to look at Teacher Cao who was looking at her hopefully, and asked, "If there is no free quota, can we apply for a deferred payment first?"

Teacher Cao was stunned.

"...Of course there are."

Fan Qingyi was still looking at him.

Teacher Cao understood what she meant and smiled, "Okay."

Fan Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled too.

"Thank you, Teacher Cao. I'll bring them here to report on Monday. I'll have to trouble you to take care of them then." Teacher

Cao's nervous heart suddenly relaxed, and her slightly wrinkled eyebrows opened instantly, smiling like a flower.

"Haha, okay, okay, they are my students...it's my duty as a teacher, my duty."

Li Liuli looked up at Fan Qingyi in surprise, and Fan Qingyi patted her head.

"Mom, can my elder sister and I really study here?"

Li Zhenzhu's eyes were full of stars, "This place is so beautiful, there is a small garden inside, and there are the horizontal bar, double bars, basketball court mentioned in the textbook..."

Before Fan Qingyi could say anything, Teacher Cao had already answered for her.

"Yes, definitely!"

"Thank you, Teacher Cao." Li Liuli's eyes also had a smile.

Teacher Cao sighed, and looking at the two good seedlings, he felt full of energy.

Last year's assessment, he lost to the neighbor Lao Qian, who made him have a student who entered the provincial mathematics competition team.

This year his performance is mediocre.

Next year!

Wait until he trains these two good seedlings, and see him make a comeback and be proud of himself!

After thanking, Fan Qingyi and his daughter left.

Teacher Cao watched them for a while, prepared his words in his mind, and strode to the vice-principal's office.

"Apply for free places for the two transfer students?"

The vice-principal frowned and looked up at Teacher Cao, "The places were allocated at the end of last semester. There are no places now. Don't you know?"

"...I know."

"You know and still come to apply? Is the school a charity? If you don't have money, don't transfer."

The vice-principal glanced at the door in annoyance, and it was obvious that he was ordering them to leave.
