After dinner, Jin Xin hurried to school. Although Xincheng County is not very big, it is a county town after all. It still takes about ten to twenty minutes to ride a bike from Jin's house to school.
This little lunch break at noon really cannot be wasted.
I rush home, eat, and then rush to school. If everything goes well, I might even be able to catch a nap for ten or twenty minutes to keep myself energized for the afternoon's relentless classes. If things get tighter, family might even bring me lunch. This is just a small glimpse into the turbulent life of a senior year.
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 simply said hello and headed out to the bookstore. Walking out of the alley near Grandpa's house, there was Xinhua Bookstore on the street ahead.
Hearing that Wu Tong was going to the bookstore to buy reference books, the elders immediately reached into their pockets to take out money to sponsor Wu Tong. They always support their children in buying school supplies.
Wu Tong waved her hand. She had her saved pocket money with her when she went out, and she also had the 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 too!" Jin Yongning carried the teacup and was about to follow his eldest granddaughter out of the yard.
"Dad, don't buy anything for Wu Tong, especially frozen ice cream..." Jin Yu warned loudly with concern. Wu Tong was an unrestrained person, and her father doted on her. 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 elderly take him out to relax! Her elder sister-in-law is good in everything except that she is too strict with the children!
"Tongtong, come and 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 him out, he took out two red bills from his pocket and stuffed them into Wu Tong's hand.
His beloved granddaughter had been forced to study hard at home by her mother for a month, and now she was still studying at home. How hard it must have been! He couldn't stop the child from studying, but he could secretly give her some time off.
"Hehe, Grandpa is the best!" Wu Tong didn't refuse 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. Since she was a child, her mother had been strict with her, and her grandpa's secret love was her source of happiness.
The father and son chatted and laughed as they arrived at the Xinhua Bookstore. Wu Tong, not her first time there, found the high school supplementary materials section with relative ease. She had memorized the list of books Jin Xin had given her, and 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 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 did not need to purchase them separately.
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 questions and reading books, so it would be a bit wasteful to buy them repeatedly.
Huanggang Secret Paper, 53, Must-do Questions, Wang Houxiong... Wu Tong was like a little mouse in a rice jar. Without hesitation, she picked up the selected materials one by one and soon the pile was 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, attracting the attention of those around them. Jin Yongning was quite happy to see how much his precious granddaughter loved to study and was so talented!
He proudly took Wu Tong to the cashier to pay, and rushed to pay for the books. "You are a kid, 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 by her parents in advance because they knew she needed to buy some information. The brother just sponsored her 600 yuan at noon, and the grandfather just stuffed 200 yuan in her pocket. 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 incredibly heavy. Jin Yongning wanted to carry them all herself, not wanting her granddaughter to get tired. But Wu Tong wouldn't let her. Grandpa might still be strong, but he was old after all, and his feelings couldn't be trusted!
Finally, the grandfather and grandson left the house and hailed a three-wheeled scooter to take them home. At that time, taxis were still rare in Xincheng County. Even now, and even ten years later, these covered scooters, repurposed from small three-wheeled vehicles, were still the county's mainstay. Small and convenient, they could go anywhere, and were ubiquitous on the streets, making them incredibly 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!
With so much information, how long would it take her to finish it? For Jin Yuan, who never liked studying, asking him to make so many booklets would drive him crazy!
This time, Wu Jingzhong and Jin Yu didn't question Wu Tong's purchase of so many materials at once. They had all witnessed how diligently their daughter had studied this month. She had meticulously completed all the materials she had purchased. They now had complete faith in her. She must have needed all the materials she had purchased, and she knew she would use them effectively.
Children love to study, so as parents, we can only 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 buying some learning materials for the child, and you're being too enthusiastic. I'm not too old to be unable to move!" Jin Yongning glared at his daughter unhappily.
"Come on, go on, go home. Leave Tongtong here. I'll take him back when school starts!"
Well, this is a quarrel! Jin Yu helplessly spread her hands, old child, old child, what can she say to her own father? Just kick him out, come back 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 and can be worn right away. Big sister, Brother Wu, you can leave Tongtong at home without worry!" Xu Meifeng smiled and said, "Our family has been thinking about him all summer, so we have to let Tongtong stay at home for a few days!"
