Chapter 349 Good Seedling
Lin Xiaotong was also puzzled and her thoughts were scattered very quickly.
I thought Orange couldn't keep up with the class's learning progress or was experiencing emotional fluctuations from entering a new environment.
The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt, and my legs twisted into knots unconsciously.
When Shen Tingyu came in, he looked down and his heart skipped a beat.
He patted his chest lightly and interrupted her thoughts with a sound.
"Xiaotong, what are you thinking about in broad daylight? What's wrong? There's sweat on your forehead."
"Ah? Teacher, I didn't think anything of it. It's just that Chengzi's teacher called me and asked me to come to school sometime."
"Then go ahead, maybe it'll be a good thing."
The teaching quality of the affiliated primary school is among the best, and every year some parents use their connections to get their children in.
A high level of teaching sometimes also means that the requirements for students themselves will also become correspondingly higher.
Since the resumption of the college entrance examination in 1977, not only is going to college free, the state also provides monthly subsidies and guaranteed job placement after graduation.
As long as you successfully step into the school gate and nothing goes wrong, you will be able to get a stable job.
Seventy years ago, parents did not pay much attention to their children’s studies. They would just laugh it off if their children got a zero in the final exam.
It’s different now. The passing rate of the college entrance examination is frighteningly low.
Learning should start from childhood. If you don’t do well in the final exam, you will be punished with iron sand palm when you come back.
The school pays close attention to students' cultural knowledge, and parents are happy to see this.
After all, it is better to read more books and learn more words than to be blind.
After thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was right and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Teacher, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Shen Tingyu put her hair back and handed her the documents in her hand.
"Here, this is it. Take a look. The department just gave it to me."
I took it and flipped through a few pages, and was a little surprised.
"People from Hong Kong are coming to the school to set up a scholarship?"
Since 1980, many overseas Chinese have returned to invest and build factories, and some people who appreciate talent will also donate educational funds to Peking University and Tsinghua University in their personal names.
Although wearing Chinese clothes, he is still concerned about the development of the motherland.
The sponsor this time is an old-established enterprise in Hong Kong, which has always been generous.
Shen Tingyu nodded: "Old Ji is almost happy to death, but it is not confirmed yet. The people from Gangcheng have not yet arrived in Jingshi."
Old Ji is the director of the law department. Seeing the crowded and slightly shabby classrooms, he likes to take time to sit in the principal's office.
"The director might even try to trick people into donating more."
More money can also be used to add professional teaching materials to the library.
Shen Tingyu laughed and said, “It depends on whether the people in Gangcheng will loosen their grip.”
…
I got off work earlier than usual this afternoon and went to wait at the gate of the affiliated primary school.
"Mom, why did you come to pick me up?"
Chengzi was carrying his schoolbag and looking around. When he saw her, his eyes lit up and he ran to her like a gust of wind.
"Because get out of class ends early today, let's go home."
I took the child's schoolbag and it wasn't very heavy.
I'm wearing pants today, so it's convenient to ride my bike home.
Orange sat in the back seat, put his arm around her waist, and kept muttering to himself.
"Mom, the teacher told a very interesting story in class today."
Orange has loved talking since he was a child, and he always likes to talk to his family no matter what the matter is.
He is very eloquent and can apply some words to other situations after hearing them once.
When he was three years old, Orange became obsessed with listening to a group of people chatting.
Xie Yi walked around the alley with his baby in his arms early in the morning, and soon returned home with the child in his arms.
After asking, I found out that after the other person stopped talking, Chengzi twisted and turned in his arms and couldn't stay there any longer, so Xie Yi had to move on to the next house.
All morning long, the father and daughter ran around in the alleys.
If he hadn't still had some strength left, his wrist would probably have been broken by the time it was over.
A child in your arms is like a solid weight.
"Really? I want to hear it."
It is a good thing that the child is willing to talk to her, and she is willing to listen. Orange is also curious about her opinions.
"It's like this..."
Orange's black and smooth ponytail fluttered in the wind, and every strand of hair was filled with happiness.
…
After dinner in the evening, the couple lay on the bed and talked privately.
"My daughter seems to be quite stable today. She doesn't look like she got scolded at school."
After Xie Yi came back from get off work, she pulled him over before he even sat down on the bench and whispered in his ear about the phone call he received that day.
He immediately felt like he was facing a great enemy, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and he would secretly glance at his daughter during dinner whenever he had time.
Orange thought he had eaten his food on his face, so he ran to look in the mirror.
Comrade Lao Xie also frowned and glared at him several times.
He was really wronged.
Xie Yi put his arm around her shoulders and couldn't help but sigh.
"This kid is really generous and can keep his composure."
"We're going to school tomorrow morning?"
She rubbed her cheeks. The dried vegetables tonight were really hard to chew, and her teeth were aching now.
She happened to have no classes the next morning.
"Okay, after I'm done, I'll drop by other units to deliver some materials."
I revised the research report I wrote after returning from Pengcheng several times, and finally it was ready to be submitted.
I scratched my hair and curled up in bed. The weather changed very quickly at the end of September.
Knowing that Xiaotong is afraid of cold, she consciously stays in the middle when sleeping.
"Wife, it's getting late, can we play games?"
Another fireball came over, and the hot air from the tip of my nose fell on my neck, causing a slight itch.
He placed his hands on the man's face and pushed it back.
"Can you act by yourself?"
"If stand-up comedy doesn't work out, Errenzhuan is something you might consider."
Xie Yi got out of bed, quickly turned off the light, turned around and threw himself onto the bed.
The two of them were making a fuss in the bed.
The gusts of wind outside the window did not hinder Xiao Xie's hard work in the slightest.
…
The next morning the family had breakfast.
"Mom, why is that electronic watch so popular?"
Xie Yi brought back another big bag of watches from the post office yesterday.
“Of course, plastic watches sell better.
I walked around the school gate yesterday after school and saw a lot of students gathered around me."
Gao Xiulan felt a little proud. In the past, in late August and early September, she used to ride a tricycle to sell the goods.
The weather is getting a little colder now. Sometimes when I go to pick up Orange from the affiliated primary school, I put some watches in the big pocket of my coat.
When there are many people around, she just raises her wrist, and those who are interested will naturally talk to her.
Once, she was standing in a stationery store and chatting with Zhang Dazui, and he handed her the watch she had ordered.
Someone saw it and ran after the store to ask if they sold it.
She and Zhang Dazui decided to set aside a small area in the stationery store to sell plastic watches.
A watch sells for eight dollars, and business is pretty good. People who have pocket money or have spoiled children at home will always buy one.
Zhang Dazui bought watches from her at an agreed wholesale price, and she didn't have to worry about the subsequent sales.
This can also bring in several hundred yuan in net profit every month.
"Mom, this business is getting more and more prosperous."
Lin Xiaotong felt that she was really lucky. She and Xie Yi were both only children, and their elders were easy to get along with and loved to make money.
"Your mother also said that it would be great if we could buy more shops in the future and rent them out so that we can lie down at home and count our money when we are old."
Xie Da Jiao narrowed his eyes into slits. His daughter Xiulan was very capable, and he had a very good vision when he was young.
No wonder his father Xie Dawei told him not to make decisions all the time and to listen more to Xiulan's opinions.
His father never lied to him!
Xie Yi gave a thumbs up: "As expected of the beautiful and kind-hearted Comrade Xiulan!
Ahem, Mom, can I expect a red envelope this year?"
Gao Xiulan gave him a scornful look and said, "Don't flatter me, are you? You only have two Great Unity cards at best."
"Two! Mom, you're so generous."
He was overjoyed because in the past there was only one big unity card.
Happiness always comes unexpectedly.
"Why does your tone sound weird?" Gao Xiulan always felt that Haodaer was being sarcastic.
Xie Yi cried out that he was wronged.
Lin Xiaotong and Chengzi beside them almost laughed out loud.
Xie Da Jiao gloated: "You have a big appetite, don't you?"
Even after entering the school, Xie Yi was still riding his bicycle in front and saying that Comrade Xie was not a good person.
“Knock knock—”
"Please come in. Are you two Xie Cheng's parents?"
The two nodded, stood up straight, and even kept their hands in order.
The teacher in front of me was wearing rimless glasses and had her hair combed up without a single strand out of place. She had the serious aura of a principal.
Lin Xiaotong had a smile on her face but was nervous inside.
"Teacher, don't you know why we are here this time?"
"Sit down and talk. The thing is, since Xie Cheng just transferred here, the teachers of various subjects will inevitably pay more attention to him during class.
I found that she was very talented in mathematics and had her own way of thinking.”
In class, Xie Cheng used another more clever and easier-to-understand solution to the last question.
She was quite surprised and felt that she had met a good seedling.
Turns out it’s a good thing.
Xie Yi's tense back finally felt relieved, he breathed a sigh of relief, then sat up straight again, grinning.
He said that his daughter takes after her mother, so she must be smart.
