Chapter 9 Support
After dinner, Jin Xin hurried to school. Although Xincheng County is not very big, it is a county town after all. It still takes ten to twenty minutes to ride a bike from Jin's home to school.
This little lunch break at noon really cannot be wasted.
I hurried home, ate in a hurry, and then hurried to school. If everything went well, I might even be able to take a nap for ten or twenty minutes at school to keep up some energy for the afternoon classes. If time was tighter, my family might have to deliver food to school. This was just a small part of the intense life of a senior high school student.
Seeing her brother like this, Wu Tong seemed to see her own future school life.
After seeing Jin Xin off, the adults chatted about family matters. Wu Tong couldn't get a word in, so he just said hello and headed out to the bookstore. Walking out of the alley on the side of grandpa's house, there was Xinhua Bookstore on the street ahead.
Hearing that Wu Tong was going to the bookstore to buy reference books, a group of elders immediately reached into their pockets to take out money to sponsor Wu Tong. They have always been supportive of children buying school supplies.
Wu Tong waved her hand. She had some pocket money she had saved and also had sponsorship from her brother. Today, she could become a big customer of the bookstore.
"I'll take Tongtong to the bookstore and take a walk around as well!" Jin Yongning carried the teacup and followed his eldest granddaughter out of the yard.
"Dad, don't buy anything for Wu Tong, especially frozen ice cream..." Jin Yu warned loudly, worriedly. Wu Tong was an unrestrained person, and her father doted on her very much. If she didn't remind him a little, Wu Tong might give her a stomachache again.
"Our father knows what's going on, and Tongtong is also well behaved, so don't worry, big sister!" Xu Meifeng pulled Jin Yu back. The child must have been studying hard all morning, so it would be great to let the old lady take him out to relax! This elder sister-in-law is good in everything, but she is too strict with the child!
"Tongtong, come, buy the snacks you want, or whatever you want to eat, grandpa will buy it for you!" Less than ten meters after walking out of the door, Jin Yongning glanced at the front door of his house, seeing that his daughter did not chase out, and took out two red bills from his pocket and stuffed them into Wu Tong's hand.
His beloved granddaughter was forced to study hard at home by her mother for a month, and she was still studying when she came home. How hard it was! He couldn't stop the child from studying, but he could secretly give her some relaxation.
"Hehe, grandpa is the best!" Wu Tong did not reject the old man's love for her, and put it in her pocket with a smile. She would be filial to her grandparents in the future. Her mother had been strict with her since she was a child, and her grandpa's secret love was her source of happiness.
The father and son chatted and laughed as they arrived at Xinhua Bookstore. It was not Wu Tong's first time here, so she found the high school supplementary materials section with ease. She had memorized the list of books Jin Xin had given her, so she only took one copy of the books on the list.
There were also some new materials that were not on Jin Xin’s book list. Wu Tong took two copies of each and gave one to the young man later to thank him for his generous sponsorship.
Wu Tong did not purchase any more high school textbooks, as school would start in the next two days. At the beginning of this semester, the remaining science textbooks for the second and third year students would be distributed together, so she would not need to purchase any additional ones.
Most of the papers she picked were comprehensive review papers and consolidation exercises for single subjects and single books. She checked at noon and found that there were already a lot of them piled on the boy's bookshelf. She covered the answers he had done and directly reused them to do them again without having to buy new ones.
She is quick at solving exercises and reading books, so it would be a bit of a waste to buy them repeatedly.
Huanggang Secret Paper, Wusan, Must-do Questions, Wang Houxiong... Wu Tong was like a little mouse falling into a rice jar. Without hesitation, she took the selected materials into her arms one by one, and soon the materials were piled up high. Jin Yongning felt sorry for his granddaughter, so he took over the next one Wu Tong selected.
In a short while, Wu Tong and Jin Yongning had piled up their arms high, which attracted the attention of people around them. Jin Yongning was quite happy to see how much his precious granddaughter loved to study and was so capable!
He proudly took Wu Tong to the cashier to pay, and rushed to pay for the books, "Your family only has so much pocket money, keep it for yourself, and let grandpa pay for these!"
Jin Yu doesn't give his daughter Tongtong much pocket money. Wu Jingzhong is useless and can't get better benefits for his eldest granddaughter, so he helps Tongtong save some money!
Wu Tong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She brought 400 yuan from home. This was the reserve money given to her by her parents in advance knowing that she needed to buy some information. She also received 600 yuan from her brother at noon and 200 yuan from her grandfather. In 2009, she was a high school student with 1,200 yuan in her pocket. She felt that she was quite rich!
Two large bags of information books were really heavy. Jin Yongning wanted to carry them all by herself, not wanting to let her granddaughter get tired. Wu Tong would not let her. Although grandpa was still strong, he was old after all, and his feelings could not be trusted!
Finally, the grandfather and grandson went out and called a three-wheeled vehicle to take them home. At that time, taxis were still rare in Xincheng County. Even now and even ten years later, this kind of covered vehicle transformed from a small three-wheeled vehicle is still the main force in the county. It is small and convenient, can go anywhere, can be seen everywhere on the street, and is very convenient.
Hearing the noise, Jin Yuan took it and helped carry all the reference books into the house. His hands felt so heavy that Jin Yuan was secretly amazed. The child was really hardworking!
How long will it take for her to finish all this information? For Jin Yuan, who has never liked studying, he would go crazy if he was asked to make so many books!
This time, Wu Jingzhong and Jin Yu did not say a word about Wu Tong buying so many materials at once. They all saw how hard their daughter studied this month. The materials she bought before were all densely packed and completed carefully. They now have great faith in their daughter. She must have a need for so many materials and can make good use of them.
Children love to learn, and as parents, the only thing we can do is to support them.
"Dad, how much is it? I'll give it to you!" Jin Yu opened his wallet and his father followed him. Needless to say, he would definitely not let Tongtong pay.
"Are you slapping your father in the face? I'm just buying some learning materials for the child, and you're just being too active. I'm not that old that I can't move!" Jin Yongning glared at his daughter unhappily.
"Come on, go on, go home. Leave Tongtong here. I'll send him back when school starts!"
Well, this is a quarrel! Jin Yu spread her hands helplessly, old child, old child, what can she do with her own father? Just chase him away, I'll come again next time!
"Our father is just like that. We have everything here. I washed the new clothes I bought for Tongtong. They are in the closet in Tongtong's room. We can wear them right away. Big sister, Brother Wu, you can leave Tongtong at home without any worries!" Xu Meifeng smiled and said, "Our family has been thinking about him for the whole summer vacation. We have to let Tongtong stay at home for a few days!"
