The next morning, Su Yuhe went to school and saw Huang Yue standing at the door from afar.
The boy was tall and thin, with bony cheeks.
When he saw Su Yuhe, he was like a child who had done something wrong. He lowered his head and dared not look at Su Yuhe.
Su Yuhe sighed slightly: "You just graduated and went out, and you don't dare to go into Red Star?"
Huang Yue remained silent, leaving Su Yuhe helpless: "Come in with me."
In the office, Su Yuhe pointed to a stool and asked Huang Yue to sit down: "Tell me, why don't you go to middle school?"
"The family can't leave without someone."
Su Yuhe frowned. "I remember you used to study very hard. Are you really giving up just like that? Your grandma came yesterday. Besides the fact that you can't leave your family, more importantly, you don't have tuition, right?"
Huang Yue pursed his lips: "Teacher..."
Su Yuhe waved her hand: "Forget it, don't say anything. I just want to ask you, if I give you money, will you go to school?"
Huang Yue was anxious: "Teacher, I can't take your money..."
"Who said I'm going to give you money? It's not free. Write an IOU and consider it as a loan from me."
Huang Yue hesitated: "But there are only grandpa and grandma left at home..."
Su Yuhe noticed the boy's hands tightly clutching the corner of his clothes. She could tell Huang Yue was very troubled. "The school will tell your village secretary and team leader and ask the neighbors to help keep an eye on him. You're going to school in the county town and you'll only be back for a few days. It's not like you'll be away from home for a long time."
Seeing Huang Yue remained silent, Su Yuhe continued, "You're such a good student, are you planning to stay in the village and work forever? At your age, you don't earn many work points. Are you being worthy of your grandparents who raised you by wasting your time at home like this?"
Huang Yue was moved to tears by Su Yuhe's words, and he raised his hand to wipe away his tears.
"Why are you crying like a grown boy?" Su Yuhe pursed her lips. "You have to study hard outside, so that you can give your grandparents a better life in the future."
Taking advantage of the fact that there were no other teachers in the office, Su Yuhe took out a small bottle of pills from her bag and said, "I saw what was wrong with your grandma yesterday. This is medicine for her."
Huang Yue held the medicine in his hand, not knowing what to say.
Su Yuhe took out the IOU she had written earlier and twenty-five yuan from her bag.
They are all one by one.
"Here's twenty-five dollars. Five dollars a month is enough for living expenses. Just sign the IOU and I'll lend you the money for your studies."
Huang Yue was silent for a moment: "Teacher, I've calculated it, and it only costs four dollars a week."
"So you mean to borrow twenty?"
Su Yuhe changed the amount above and asked Huang Yue to sign.
After signing, Su Yuhe asked Huang Yue to go back: "Hurry up and register at school, they have already started school."
Huang Yue called out "Teacher Su".
As soon as Su Yuhe raised her eyes, Huang Yue knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her three times.
Su Yuhe was stunned: "Hey! You!"
Huang Yue said with a determined look: "Teacher, I will definitely return the money to you."
…
Su Yuhe helped Baosheng sit up and teased him, "Oh, our Baosheng can sit up now! That's great!"
Five-month-old Baosheng can already fully understand his own name. He props himself up to sit up and looks at Su Yuhe with a giggle.
A pair of big, bright black eyes gave Su Yuhe a cute look.
After wiping the saliva from Baosheng's grinning mouth, Su Yuhe leaned over and kissed Baosheng hard: "Kiss mommy's baby."
Baosheng made a babbling sound.
Su Yuhe helped him sit up again, turned her head and saw Jiang Lin, wondering what he was thinking.
Su Yuhe raised her leg and kicked him: "What are you doing? Come and play with Baosheng."
"I'm thinking about earning money for Baosheng's milk powder."
Su Yuhe was amused: "Aren't you making money? Or do you have another idea?"
"Indeed." Jiang Lin sat down and leaned against Su Yuhe. "Didn't Ding Huai return to China? We talked about the resumption of the college entrance examination earlier. Didn't you say it would be around October? We were thinking about whether we could make some photocopied books. Once we get the news, we can sell reference books."
Su Yuhe had never really thought this would work, but she did have some concerns: "The college entrance examination has been reinstated, but the economy hasn't been liberalized yet. How will you sell books? Will you still rely on free market channels?"
"No." Jiang Lin revealed some of the plans he and Ding Huai had discussed to Su Yuhe. "Ding Huai has already gone to Shanghai to find a printing factory. We plan to print a batch in advance and then cooperate with bookstores to sell them."
Su Yuhe: "Is it possible?"
"Yes, my intuition tells me that reference books will definitely sell well."
Su Yuhe thought back to her previous life, and it seemed that it was after the resumption of the college entrance examination that those who met the requirements went to the junior high school to look for reference books.
Like the "Self-study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" in Su Yuhe's hand, its sales have reached a pre-historic peak.
Su Yuhe had never thought of asking Jiang Lin to do this, but she didn't expect that Jiang Lin would find the merchant by himself based on a few words she said.
Su Yuhe looked at Jiang Lin as if he were looking at a pile of shining gold. She turned her head and kissed the man on her shoulder: "It has to be you."
Jiang Lin hugged Su Yuhe and said, "But my dear, I might have to go to Shanghai with you."
Su Yuhe paused: "How long will it take?"
"I don't know yet, but it will definitely take ten days or half a month."
Su Yuhe pursed her lips and said, "Then remember to take good care of yourself. Don't be so sloppy outside every time and don't even shave."
Jiang Lin touched his chin and said confidently: "I'm going into business, not doing anything else. It's normal for a man to have a beard."
"I told you to shave! You have to pay attention to your image when doing business."
Su Yuhe thought of Jiang Lin whom she met in her previous life. He was in his thirties and still looked dignified and dashing. He wore a smart suit and an expensive watch, and he looked much more elegant.
Unfortunately, she had a grudge against Jiang Lin from the very beginning and couldn't see his good side.
Jiang Lin is hers in this life.
Su Yuhe's possessiveness kicked in, and she cupped Jiang Lin's face and kissed him. "Don't mess around with other women out there! Women in Shanghai are so fashionable! If you dare to find someone out there, I'll cut off your little brother!"
As he spoke, Su Yuhe reached out and pinched it.
Jiang Lin grabbed Su Yuhe's hand and said, "Oh, my dear wife, are there any women out there as pretty as you? Besides, this is my big brother!"
Jiang Lin said the last sentence very seriously!
Su Yuhe curled her lips: "Who knows? The shit out there is delicious unless you've tasted it."
Jiang Lin expressed his loyalty: "I won't even look! If I find someone else, let me get hit by a car——"
Su Yuhe quickly covered his mouth. She couldn't bear to see Jiang Lin die.
Gritting his teeth, he said, "If you get along with someone else, I'll take Baosheng away, and you can go with someone else!"
Jiang Lin said it was impossible and hugged Su Yuhe and kissed her fiercely.
Baosheng was ignored by his parents. When he saw his mother being hugged and chewed by his father, he made some uncomfortable sounds.
