Chapter 26 The big enemy comes to buy a hair comb again
The person who came was none other than her high school teacher Zhou Xiujuan.
If this person hadn't appeared, Su Xiaoxiao would have almost forgotten that she was just on leave and hadn't graduated yet.
Although the Su family's conditions are not good, Yang Mingzhu attaches great importance to her children's studies.
So in this village where more than half of the girls dropped out of school early, Su Xiaoxiao became one of the few girls who could go to high school.
It’s a pity that the original owner was a complete academic failure. It was only in this era that students could go directly to high school and junior high school. Otherwise, with her poor grades, she probably wouldn’t even be able to graduate from junior high school.
Although he went to school a lot, the original owner's knowledge was only at the elementary school level, otherwise how could he be looked down upon by Zhang Dongmei all day long.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the person in front of her and instantly stood up straight: "Mr. Zhou...Ms. Zhou, why are you here?"
Zhou Xiujuan glanced at her calmly and said, "You've been asking for leave this semester. The school seems to want you to repeat a grade. I'm here to ask your family what they think."
Su Xiaoxiao has been asking for leave since the beginning of her senior year of high school. As graduation is approaching, the school leaders are very dissatisfied with this matter.
Zhou Xiujuan came to the Lin family this time to confirm the situation.
As far as she was concerned, she also felt that it would be best for Su Xiaoxiao to repeat the grade in this situation.
When Su Xiaoxiao heard this, her heart skipped a beat.
She is now applying to work at a department store, and if she has a high school diploma, her chances of success will definitely be greater.
Although department stores nowadays do not have any educational requirements, those with higher education will definitely have an advantage.
But if this meant she would be held back, she wouldn't be able to get her diploma before her interview at the department store.
Thinking of this, she immediately stated her position: "Teacher Zhou, I don't want to repeat the grade. Do you think there is any other way?"
Zhou Xiujuan didn't expect her to say that, and her brows furrowed instantly: "With your usual grades, it's already difficult to get a diploma, and you keep asking for leave..."
Su Xiaoxiao also knew that this was embarrassing for others, but there was no other way, she had to get her diploma.
She shamelessly invited him into the room: "Teacher Zhou, why don't you come in and sit for a while, and we can talk slowly."
Zhou Xiujuan didn't want to go in at first, but Su Xiaoxiao was too enthusiastic, so she had to follow her in reluctantly.
After everyone sat down, Su Xiaoxiao immediately and attentively made Zhou Xiujuan a cup of brown sugar water and gave her a handful of White Rabbit milk candies, almost with the word "flattering" written all over her face.
Zhou Xiujuan sighed. If the child had studied so hard, he wouldn't have ended up like this today.
"Teacher Zhou, you know my family's situation. It's not that I don't want to go to school, but after my father passed away, my mother's health is not good, and I have two younger brothers at home. I really have no choice. But don't worry, although I haven't been to school for a while, I have never forgotten to study."
Seeing that her expression had eased a little, Su Xiaoxiao began to play the emotional card.
Although there was some exaggeration, except for the last sentence, what she said was true.
When Zhou Xiujuan heard her say this, she looked at her with a little more pity.
She had indeed heard a lot about Su Xiaoxiao's family. After Su's father died, his two elder brothers became the pillars of the family. Su's mother was in poor health, and his two younger brothers needed someone to take care of them. This family was indeed in a difficult situation.
"Teacher Zhou, given my family's situation, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to afford tuition if I repeat another year. Could you please talk to the school leaders and ask them to let me graduate on time?"
Su Xiaoxiao observed Zhou Xiujuan's expression and expressed her opinion.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiujuan was a very principled person. She immediately pushed the candy and brown sugar water in front of her away and said, "This won't work. Your grades won't allow you to graduate. The school leaders also have many considerations."
Although her tone was firm, Su Xiaoxiao could see that there was obvious emotion in her eyes.
He immediately continued to press forward: "Teacher Zhou, I know the school leaders are doing this for my own good, but you've also seen my family's situation. How about you talk to the school leaders on my behalf and ask them to let me take the senior high school graduation exam normally? If I can pass, can you give me my diploma?"
Zhou Xiujuan thought about it for a moment and felt that the request was not excessive, so she nodded immediately.
Su Xiaoxiao was delighted and immediately grabbed the candy on the table and stuffed it into Zhou Xiujuan's pocket: "Teacher Zhou, take this candy back and eat it."
Zhou Xiujuan wanted to refuse, but Su Xiaoxiao held her pocket tightly, so she could only accept it reluctantly.
Only after sending the person out did Su Xiaoxiao breathe a sigh of relief.
That’s great! As long as she can take the exam smoothly, she will be confident that she can get her diploma. After all, she graduated from a key university in modern times.
After finishing the diploma issue, Su Xiaoxiao went back to continue looking at the information given by Zhang Dongmei.
The booklet was not thick, just a few dozen pages, and Su Xiaoxiao finished reading it in no time.
She has a good memory and basically remembered most of it after this reading.
Seeing that it was getting late, she put the booklet away and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook.
As soon as I stood up, someone knocked on the gate again.
"Su Xiaoxiao, open the door."
Hearing the familiar loud voice, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but frown. Why did Zhang Dongmei come back again?
Wasn't she promised to return the information the day after tomorrow? Was she planning to go back on her word?
She frowned and went to open the door, only to see a young girl she didn't recognize following Zhang Dongmei.
"Zhang Dongmei, what are you going to do now?"
Su Xiaoxiao didn't have a good face towards her.
If it weren't for the exam materials, she wouldn't even want to open the door for Zhang Dongmei.
Zhang Dongmei raised her chin and sneered, "What else can I do? I'm here to bring you business, why don't you thank me right away?"
Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. Thank her? Wishful thinking.
Zhang Dongmei didn't care either. She reached out and pulled the girl behind her: "Cousin, I bought my comb from her. Don't worry, I will ask her to give you a discount."
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
Is Zhang Dongmei being a little too arrogant?
"Su Xiaoxiao, my cousin is here to buy a hair comb. Can you give her a discount? Ten yuan is too expensive."
Su Xiaoxiao really wanted to say that ten yuan was a "friendship" price for you, and she only sold it to others for one yuan.
But she couldn't say this in front of Zhang Dongmei, for fear that she would go crazy regardless of the occasion.
She looked up at Zhang Dongmei and asked, "Okay, how much cheaper do you want me to get?"
Zhang Dongmei didn't expect Su Xiaoxiao to agree so readily. Could it be because of her test materials?
Thinking of this, he immediately looked at his cousin with a smug look on his face: "See, I told you it would be cheap."
She stretched out five fingers towards Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Five dollars, okay?"
She actually felt a little guilty when she said this, because when she bought it, Su Xiaoxiao said that she couldn't give up a penny.
I hope Su Xiaoxiao won’t get angry immediately after he bargained so harshly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished this thought, Su Xiaoxiao spoke.
