Chapter 2452: Penny-wise
This child's pen is so short that she can't hold it. Even so, she can't bear to throw away the pen tip. No matter how hard it is, she has to hold the short pen tip and write a few more words.
"Yes, look, there are new notebooks, snow-white. Teacher Zhou, are all the notebooks sold outside so white? They smell so good."
"And books, these are our new textbooks, the words are very clear and clean, Teacher Zhou, can I write my name on them?"
The children were almost crazy with joy when they saw the brand new school supplies. They
never thought that such good things could belong to them one day.
It's no wonder these children are so excited. The textbooks used by the children are already several years old. After the students of this grade have finished reading, they have to be kept in the school for the students behind them.
These are textbooks that are used in daily classes, not books that are placed in the library and are rarely borrowed.
You can imagine how old and tattered these textbooks are.
Even so, every time the children get the textbooks, their expressions are really sacred. When they turn the pages of the textbooks, they are very careful and light-footed, fearing that if they use too much force, they will tear the textbooks, so that their younger brothers and sisters will not be able to use these textbooks when they go to Binhai again.
Yes, turn the pages too much, really turn the books too much.
Looking at the books that are about to melt, and the children still cherish them like that, Qiao Nan feels particularly distressed, and can especially understand Teacher Zhou's thoughts.
These are a group of lovely children, and the country and society should give them a chance to realize their dreams.
"Really?"
Hearing the children's happy words, Teacher Zhou was also very happy: "That's great, you have new pens, new notebooks and new books. You must study harder in the future, understand?"
"I know."
"I definitely will."
Teacher Zhou wiped his eyes: "Aunt Qiao not only brought you new books, but also winter clothes. Everyone should come and get a set. You must line up and don't be chaotic. Also, when you get your clothes, please also get a set for your grandparents at home, understand?"
In fact, Teacher Zhou didn't need to say anything. As soon as the students heard that they had to get things, they had already lined up very consciously without any intention of fighting for them.
The children thought they were so happy today that they were about to fly to the sky. Who knew that good news came one after another:
"Teacher Zhou, is it true that we can still get new clothes for grandpa and grandma?"
"That's great. My grandpa's clothes are all torn. I wanted to write to my dad and ask him to remember to buy clothes for my grandpa when he comes back this year."
If that were true, they would have to wait another two or three months for their dad to bring the clothes home so that grandpa would have something to wear.
Now it's good. Grandpa will have new clothes to wear immediately.
As autumn approaches, the weather gets colder day by day. Both adults and children are particularly worried about autumn rain because they know the power of autumn rain.
Now they don't have to worry or be afraid. They have new clothes to wear.
When the children really got the new warm clothes, the happy and intoxicated expressions on their faces made people feel sad.
Nowadays, all the children outside are raised by being pampered. For children, new clothes are no longer rare. It is impossible for them to buy new clothes only during the Chinese New Year.
Everyone is well off, and no one wants to wrong their children at home. Not to mention that they don’t buy clothes once a year, the time to buy clothes cannot be calculated in seasons, but in months.
It is not uncommon to buy one or several sets of clothes for children in a week when there is a need or a mood.
In a short while, every child received new clothes and new stationery. They were so happy that they didn’t know how to express it, just like a little bird spreading its wings and flying into the sky.
"Thank you, Aunt Qiao."
"Thank you, Aunt Qiao."
"Thank you, Aunt Qiao."
...
After all the children got their things, they ran to Qiao Nan and thanked her with gratitude: "Aunt Qiao, next time you bring your brothers and sisters, we will definitely take them out to have fun."
He remembered that his brothers and sisters loved to eat chestnuts, so this year, he must save all the biggest, best, and sweetest chestnuts for Aunt Qiao's brothers and sisters.
"Okay, next time Aunt brings your brothers and sisters, it will all depend on you to take them out to play."
Faced with the children's pure feelings, how could Qiao Nan refuse? He agreed very happily.
Without this incident, as a native of Pingcheng, Qiao Nan really didn't know that there was such a backward place in Pingcheng, and so many children were still suffering from the pain of going to school.
Don't look at these 30-odd children. Some of the children in the family are young and have not reached the age of going to school. They are taken care of by their grandparents.
For this reason, Qiao Nan knew that the decision she made silently in her heart was about to become a big project, and it was the type that had a very long cycle and could not be completed in a short time.
But even so, Qiao Nan felt that all the persistence and hard work were worth it.
When she knew that her godfather left everything of the Zhu family to her, she told herself that she would definitely use the money of the Zhu family to do more meaningful things, so that the living people would always remember the existence of the Zhu family.
For this purpose, everything Qiao Nan did was under the banner of the Zhu family.
"Aunt Qiao, is the world outside the mountain beautiful? Are the schools there big? I heard that the schools outside are very beautiful, with very big playgrounds and large classrooms, all with glass windows and lights."
The children were very curious about the world outside the mountain and wanted to know.
In particular, they wanted to know what the students outside looked like and whether the classrooms in the schools were big and bright.
"Do you want to study in a primary school outside?" Qiao Nan asked the child who asked the question.
The child smiled, shook his head, and then nodded: "Aunt Qiao, Teacher Zhou only teaches us elementary school knowledge, not junior high school knowledge. Aunt Qiao, I want to go to college, and Teacher Zhou said that we will always belong to the outside world in the future. So, I will study hard, and when I go to junior high school, I can go to a school outside."
The child knew very well what was going on at home.
If it weren't for Teacher Zhou, they wouldn't even have the chance to go to elementary school, let alone junior high school and high school.
