Then Teacher Zhang called the class monitor and several students who knew about the situation and told them about Zhao Ying.
"Teacher Lin, does it really have to be like this?"
The class monitor was simply baffled by what he heard. There were a few students in their class who were not well off, and when the class needed to pay any fees, they were usually kept in the dark. Teacher Zhang paid the fees himself, and never let those students know, for fear that it would hurt their self-esteem and affect their studies, which would be bad.
Teacher Zhang didn't know how much subsidy he had put in, but he didn't feel bad about the money at all. He said that he didn't give the money in vain. As long as he could be admitted to his ideal university, the bonus the school would give him would be much more than what he had given out.
And now, before they even take the college entrance exam, the results of these few exams have already made up for what Teacher Zhang had given them.
How come Teacher Lin doesn't understand the students' situation? I remember a girl squatting in the snow, picking up charcoal that others didn't want. How could this scene be so miserable?
"So don't tell anyone about this."
Teacher Zhang told a few people that although stealing charcoal was wrong, saving people was a good intention, and the student also took the initiative to admit his mistake, so there was no need to pursue anything further.
The squad leader and several others nodded in agreement and promised not to tell anyone about this.
When it was time to go home from school, the class monitor and several roommates exchanged looks, and they all understood and walked outside.
They couldn't help but turn their heads back, and the squad leader felt a little powerless.
"Liu Jing, why are you following us?"
They were going to do something secret, but why did Liu Jing insist on following them?
Liu Jing pointed at the road and said, "My home is over there. If I don't go from here, where should I go? Do you want me to climb over the wall or dig into the ground?"
Squad leader: “…”
What should I do? This is a huge misunderstanding.
"Where are you going?"
They say anything abnormal is a sign of evil. Liu Liang noticed early on that these people were acting strangely. They'd been looking around since the beginning of class. Could they be planning to do something bad?
That won't do. Liu Jing will never allow students in her class to not study well. If they dare to do bad things, she will first criticize them.
"us……"
The squad leader didn’t know what to say. Should he not say it or not say it?
If I have to say something, I must mention that matter.
But they had promised Teacher Zhang not to tell anyone about that matter.
No, the squad leader quickly denied this other person, Liu Jing is definitely different from anyone else.
Everyone can choose to have it or not, but Liu Jing is the only one who not only wants to know, but also has the right to know.
She installed the heater and also brought the charcoal.
She should know.
The monitor asked a few roommates to go first, and then he briefly talked to Liu Jing about the incident of stealing charcoal. Also, this time they wanted to go to Zhao Ying's house and also wanted to know whether the facts were as Guan Peng said.
Although they believed that Guan Peng would not lie, they still wanted to see it with their own eyes. Of course, maybe they could be of some help, even though they were very small.
"I'll go with you."
Liu Liang patted the snow on his shoulder and said, "I understand. Let's go and take a look. After all, we'll meet each other."
"OK."
The squad leader didn't refuse, so if Liu Liang wanted to go, then let her go.
According to the information they had obtained, they found out where Zhao Ying lived. When they arrived, they stood outside a dilapidated house. They didn't know what they were thinking at that moment.
This is still an old-style house. Other houses are now brick and tile houses, but this house is still the oldest adobe house. The house is full of snow, and the dilapidated wooden door is creaking in the wind.
They knew that Zhao Ying's family was poor, but they never thought they would be so poor.
"What are you standing here for?"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind them, which scared them all. They turned around and saw a middle-aged man standing behind them with a broom. He was covered in snow and looked honest and simple.
"Uncle, we are Zhao Ying's classmates."
Liu Liang pointed to the dilapidated house behind her and asked, "Is this Zhao Ying's home?"
"So she's my Xiaoying's classmate."
The man put down the broom, walked over quickly and opened the door. "Come in first, it's cold outside."
In fact, what the squad leader wanted to say was that it was as cold outside as inside. No, it was not so cold outside, it was even colder inside.
Zhao Ying's father said embarrassedly that there were not many people at home, so sorry, he didn't have anything good to treat you.
Zhao Ying's father opened the door inside. It was cold inside, but there was no strange smell. Although the things were simple and worn out, they were kept very clean and tidy.
Zhao Ying's father picked up the kettle. There was still some hot water in it, which was boiled in the morning. But then he remembered that there were no cups at home.
"How about a bowl?"
"Uncle, there's no need to pour it. We'll be leaving soon." Liu Liang hurriedly stopped Zhao Ying's father from being busy. The man looked very tired, so she really didn't want him to be busy anymore.
"We heard that Zhao Ying's grandfather was ill, so we came to see him."
The squad leader and the others nodded repeatedly, thinking to themselves, it’s a good thing that Liu Jing came over, otherwise, they really didn’t know how to face the other person’s father?
"Thank you."
Zhao Ying's father was very moved. "His grandfather's illness is just like that. It has always been like that. We don't have any other options now. We just hope to see Xiaoying get into university."
Liu Liang took off her schoolbag, took out some things from it and put them on the table.
"Uncle, these are eggs laid by my chickens. They are not worth much. Please cook them for Grandpa."
Zhao Ying's father looked at the yellow-skinned eggs and rubbed his hands. His hands were full of red and swollen chilblains, which made the squad leader and others feel very uncomfortable.
"Uncle, please take it. It's not worth much."
The squad leader picked up the bag of eggs and put them into the small kitchen without waiting for Zhao Ying's father to answer. He also secretly wiped away his tears.
Boys of this age are still emotional, so Guan Peng would rather steal charcoal so that Zhao Ying doesn't have to go out alone to collect charcoal, and the class monitor would secretly wipe away tears because of Zhao Ying's father's hands.
Because I can relate.
Perhaps their parents are just like Zhao Ying's father, with their hands red from the cold, and are busy worrying about their tuition and living expenses.
Liu Liang and a few others went to see Zhao Ying's grandfather, who was a skinny old man lying in bed. His arms were as thin as tree trunks, and he was so thin that only skin was left. He looked like a living but immobile skeleton.
