Lu Zhiye made up an excuse and asked, "Where are they?"
The square-faced man climbed onto the table nimbly and reached out to take the thing from Lu Zhiye's hand.
As he hung it on the nail, he said, “They were all called over by the teacher for roll call.
Just now, a lady who was watching over the dormitory told us to install our things and leave as soon as possible. "
Lu Zhiye looked at the table creaking under his feet and secretly worried for the man.
With this grid, the table probably can't bear his weight.
The man also noticed that the table was shaking. He quickly hung up his things and jumped down nimbly.
He was also considerate enough to use his sleeves to wipe the footprints on the table.
He smiled innocently and said, "Living in this location has its pros and cons, at least there is a table, and the two of them can study on it.
You don’t know, my daughter insisted on coming to school.
Why do girls need to study so much? In the end, won’t they have to return to the village to get married, have children, and take care of the whole family?”
Lu Zhiye was somewhat surprised by his contradictory words. If this was his perception, why would he allow his own daughter to go to school?
The man seemed to see his confusion, and said with a sigh, "She went on a hunger strike at home and didn't allow her to go to school. She was starving at home for three days.
Her mother and I couldn't persuade her, so we had to send her here."
Lu Zhiye smiled and said, "In my opinion, your daughter is very far-sighted."
The square-faced man glared and asked in confusion, "What kind of foresight do you have? If you can't get into college, that's fine. It'll just be a waste of a few months of tuition fees.
If I get into university, I will have to send her a lot of money every month.
How much do we farmers have left after we get our share of the public grain at the end of the year?
The money she saved from going to school is enough to support a child.”
What the man said was true. Whether it was elementary school, junior high school or high school, tuition was quite expensive.
The cost of textbooks and miscellaneous items for one semester is about 10 to 20 yuan, not including food expenses.
Lu Zhiye looked at the square-faced man with a gloomy face and kindly advised him, "The new policy has been issued. You don't have to pay money when you go to college.
The government also provides subsidies, and if you save a little every month, it’s basically enough to spend.”
The man stood there in astonishment: "Young man, is everything you said true?"
“It’s written in the newspaper, how could it be false?
Besides, what your daughter thinks is right. Those who go to university nowadays are paid by the government, and after graduation, the government will provide them with a job.
From now on, we will be able to eat commercial grains. If we learn well, we may be able to stay in the big cities."
The square-faced man was obviously stunned by Lu Zhiye's words. Their family lived in a remote mountain village, and every day when they opened their eyes, they had to go to work and earn work points.
She didn't have the time to inquire about these things. The news that classes had started at No. 1 Middle School here was something her daughter heard from the neighboring village.
If you don't have to pay for textbooks or anything, and you still get food subsidies, then it doesn't matter.
Now that we can eat commercial grain, why shouldn’t our daughter help the family?
When he thought of this, the worry on the man's face suddenly disappeared, and he said with a smile: "So there is such a good thing.
"Okay, okay, okay, young man, thank you very much. I have to go home quickly and tell my wife about this."
The ox cart hasn't left yet. If I walk faster, I can still catch up with the ox cart. If I walk slower, I will have to walk for two or three hours to get home.
Lu Zhiye chuckled and nodded. For the authentic rural people, having clothes to wear and food to eat are the most important things for them.
The people in the city are relatively less exposed to news, so when it comes to the resumption of the college entrance examination, they would get some gossip early on.
As for the people in the village, the news might not reach their ears until the moment it is published in the newspaper.
It is normal for their news to be three to seven days later than the outside world.
When I walked downstairs, I saw a curly-haired lady sitting in a small house at the door. I guess she was the dormitory manager.
Lu Zhiye's eyebrows turned, and he walked forward with a smile: "Big sister..."
My aunt was eating melon seeds when she suddenly heard someone calling her. She looked up and saw that it was a young man in his twenties.
The aunt smiled cheerfully: "You call me elder sister, I am almost the same age as your mother."
Lu Zhiye pretended to be honest and widened his eyes: "How could that be? I think you are at most thirty years old..."
These words made the curly-haired sister smile happily.
Lu Zhiye took the opportunity to pass a handful of fruit candy over: "This is the first time for our family to live in a dormitory. Big sister, please help us in the future."
The curly-haired lady did not accept his candy. Instead, she put down the melon seeds in her hand, patted her clothes and said, "This is our duty. Don't say that in the future."
Lu Zhiye felt the same way as Mingjing. The class had just started and everyone was eager to find any mistakes.
He did not put the candy away, but grabbed the newspaper beside him and covered it with it, and said with a smile: "We are just worried.
Your studies are very heavy right now, and there are less than two months left until the college entrance exam. As family members, we can’t do anything else but support you with all our strength.
When my wife gave birth, she had some problems and needed to drink hot water frequently, so I thought, I would ask my elder sister to help me get a thermos. "
As soon as the word "my wife" was uttered, the surprise in the elder sister's eyes could not be concealed.
"I can't tell. You already have a child, but you're willing to let her go to school. Aren't you afraid that she'll get into college and abandon you and the child?"
Lu Zhiye scratched his head lightly, with a smile on his face: "My wife is meant to be loved, I believe I have not made a mistake in choosing her over the years.
If she really does this, I have arms and legs and can raise the child. Why should I use this matter to restrain her? "
The curly-haired aunt just wondered if she had met a fool?
While sneering in my heart, I was also thinking about another thing.
What Lu Zhiye didn't know was that his invisible words actually changed the destiny of a woman's life.
No, it is the fate of a family's life.
Lu Zhiye looked around again, quietly took out some dried meat from the space, and placed it under the newspaper.
What happened before was just a prelude. As long as this woman doesn't refuse, there will be a chance to give her another sugar-coated bullet. Lu Zhiye carefully observed the elder sister's reaction.
As expected, the eldest sister’s eyes widened with shock.
He first put forward his request, and then sent some dried meat. The elder sister would think it was just a trivial matter and would weigh the matter in her mind whether to agree or not.
Right under Lu Zhiye's eyes, he saw the elder sister quickly roll up the newspaper into a ball and stuff it into the drawer.
"Hey, it seems that you love your wife. You just helped to get some hot water. Ask your wife to leave the thermos bottle with me later."
Lu Zhiye gratefully complimented the curly-haired sister again, turned around and walked towards the teaching building.
