"Okay then, you live in Wangjiatun, right? Oh, by the way, is Wang Qingchuan from the same village as you?" Gu Qinghuan suddenly remembered that both of them had the surname Wang and their families were very poor.

Wang Qingchuan paid his tuition at the end of each semester.

"Yes, Qingchuan is also from our village, and the conditions in your family are even more difficult than mine.

When 놛 was two years old, my father was repairing a canal and was hit to death by a rock that fell from above.

In order to raise her, her mother has been raising her alone for so many years, and she doesn't agree when people introduce men to her.

Qingchuan has been good at studying since he was young, but his family was poor and his mother earned money alone, so he lived a very frugal life.

No one in the village was willing to lend money to the Wang family, fearing that the orphans and widows would not be able to fill the hole.

I guess that I will not go to high school anymore.

What a pity, he got first place in the exam." When Wang Ruolan said the last two sentences, she looked at Gu Qinghuan with hope in her eyes.

She really hoped that Gu Qinghuan could help Wang Qingchuan like he helped her, but she couldn't say anything.

Gu Qinghuan never expected that Wang Qingchuan, who was so skinny and always wore big, ill-fitting clothes, had such a situation at home.

I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

"Besides 놛, are there any other children in the class whose families are in financial difficulty and who cannot go to high school? Can you tell me more about them?"

Next, Wang Ruolan mentioned nearly a dozen children who were admitted to high school but whose families were unable to afford education.

Gu Qinghuan wrote them down one by one.

Since last night she has been thinking about how to help these children continue their studies.

Her principle has always been to protect herself, but this time, she has to accomplish this no matter what.

I wanted to continue sending gold bars to the school in the name of Wang Zhiyuan as I did last time.

But how should the school distribute the money? To whom should it be given? How much should it be given? Can it be guaranteed that those who need it will get it? These are all problems.

She had seen the greed of human nature, and if it became known to others, it would probably cause a series of problems.

So this method is definitely not appropriate.

She finally decided to sponsor these children's education in her own name.

The money is in her own pocket, and she has her own rational judgment. She can decide for herself who to give the money to and who not to give it to, and no one can say anything.

This will ensure that the money is spent on those who really need it.

Better than turning the money into public property.

After thinking it over, she decided to go directly to the store for inspection.

The class she teaches has finished its exams and she has no classes now, so she has plenty of time to do this.

It just so happened that Lin Muyang came to her early in the morning to tell her the good news.

"The article I helped to compile last time has been published! Look, it's already been published in the newspaper, and it's on a relatively important page.

The royalties were also sent over, a total of 300 yuan, and it was agreed that they were all yours, so I don’t want them anymore.”

Gu Qinghuan just wanted to find an excuse to support his children, but he didn't expect this royalties to come to him.

"Then I won't be polite with you. I just happen to need some money recently, so I owe you one." Gu Qinghuan said after taking the envelope.

"You need money urgently? I have some here, but only thirty, which is a little less. Do you want some?"

Lin Muyang generously prepared to take out his pocket, which contained thirty yuan, a reward he had just received but had not yet had time to take back home.

"No, that's enough. Didn't you tell me yesterday that only half of these kids can go to high school?

I am going to use the money to help students who cannot afford to go to high school." Gu Qinghuan said calmly.

Lin Muyang was surprised.

Gu Qinghuan always refreshes his cognition through actions.

Sometimes I envy these children. When I was in school, it would have been great if I had met a teacher as good as Gu Qinghuan.

"Are you serious? Do you know that three hundred dollars is far from enough to support these children?

Once you start, you have no choice but to stick to it until the end. Otherwise, you may get complaints instead of gratitude.

In two years, each child will cost you at least two hundred dollars. It's a bottomless pit!"

Although Lin Muyang thought that Gu Qinghuan was progressive and of high moral character, he did not advocate such an approach.

Because 놛 had thought about sponsoring students like her, but there were many problems in reality that made 놛 back off.

In short, this is not a matter of just one sentence.

Gu Qinghuan had Wang Zhiyuan's box of gold bars as a backup, so even if he had to support hundreds or thousands more, let alone these children, there would be no problem at all.

But she couldn't say.

She felt that the two hundred yuan was worth it to give these children a different future.

"Just put it down. I can still get the money to support them. In fact, my mother has prepared a house for me in Beijing. The monthly rent is not small, and I can afford to support these children.

I just need you to help me cover it up a little. Just say that I support us with my writing fees, okay?"

Lin Muyang understood that she was determined to support these children.

I quietly spit on myself in my heart.

Look, after all, you are still a mortal, not as brave as Gu Qinghuan.

"No problem, now that you've made up your mind, I will only be happy for the children. Thank you for doing what I have always wanted to do but didn't dare to do." Lin Muyang said seriously.

Gu Qinghuan asked Lin Muyang for the children's home addresses and asked him to compile a more detailed family situation form.

She prepared to visit each home one by one.

The first stop is Wangjiatun, and by the way, we will visit Wang Qingchuan.

After the two children went to class, Gu Qinghuan rode his bicycle and carried Wang Ruolan and her luggage back to Wangjiatun.

The reason why Wangjiatun’s conditions are not good is because of its bad geographical location.

People say that if you live by the mountain, you can eat from the mountain; if you live by the water, you can eat from the water. But here we don't rely on anything.

Gu Qinghuan pushed the bike up and down several times and rode on the mountain road for nearly an hour before entering the territory of Wangjiatun.

"Ruolan, it's such a long distance. Do you usually walk back and forth by yourself? How long does it take?" She asked, rubbing her sore calves.

"It's a bit far from here. It takes at least two hours to walk to the commune, but I'm used to it."

Perhaps it was because she was back in a familiar place, Wang Ruolan felt very relaxed and even her hometown accent came back.

This "I" instantly reminded her of someone.

Wang Xiaowei.

When we first met, she always said "I-I" to me, but later she seldom said it.

"Do you have a girl named Wang Xiaowei here?" It can't be such a coincidence, right?

"Are you talking about Sister Xiaowei? Do you know her? She is my cousin from the next room. She took her children to Beijing to find her man last year and hasn't come back yet.

I heard from my aunt that she is now living a good life with her husband in Beijing! She even sent money back to my aunt for her to spend.

"Oh, I met her once before, so I asked her when I remembered her. I didn't expect it to be true."

That’s right, it’s Wang Xiaowei.

It's a small world.

Maybe it has something to do with these people with the surname Wang!

No, maybe Wang Zhiyuan's spirit was still alive in the underworld, and asked her to use her money to help these people with the surname Wang.

Maybe our ancestors were one family, but who can tell for sure?

Wang Xiaowei is a person who only reports good news and not sorrow. Even when she suffered such a great injustice, she didn't even tell her family about it.

Gu Qinghuan shook his head and continued to follow Wang Ruolan home.

When the two arrived at Wang's house, it was already past eleven o'clock.

Wang Ruolan waved at a half-grown boy from a distance: "Ruojun!"

"Teacher Gu, this is my younger brother Ruojun. He stopped studying after elementary school and now works with his parents to earn work points. He came back early to cook."

When the boy saw her, he grinned and ran over excitedly.

It was not until she saw Gu Qinghuan next to her that she calmed down a little and said shyly, "Sister, you're back?"

"Well, this is my Chinese teacher, Ms. Gu. She is here for a home visit today. Let's go back and cook first!"

Wang Ruolan acted like an older sister. She directed her brother to carry the luggage and led Gu Qinghuan into the house.

Wang Ruojun is a naughty boy who is naturally afraid of teachers. When he sees Gu Qinghuan, his legs go weak and he stays away from her.

When Gu Qinghuan came, he thought that he might have dinner at a student's home today, so he brought his own food and an extra piece of meat.

She helped Wang Ruolan cook lunch and also cooked the meat she brought with her.

Wang Ruolan had no choice but to agree to the invitation. She was also worried because there were only vegetarian dishes at home, not any meat or fish, and she would not be able to entertain the teacher.

The two of them were busy picking vegetables together.

When Wang Ruojun saw the meat, his eyes lit up. Sister, this teacher is so generous.

Although Wang Ruolan's house is not big and the house is a bit old, with bumps on the ground, it is clean. Every corner in front of and behind the house belongs to their land, and various vegetables and fruits are planted there. It can be seen that the owner of this house knows how to live.

Gu Qinghuan's impression naturally improved a bit.

Wang Ruolan picked the first crop of peppers, as well as cowpeas and eggplants, two cucumbers, and two or three tomatoes.

She planned to make stir-fried pork with green pepper, stir-fried cowpea and eggplant, a refreshing smashed cucumber, and if there were eggs left at home, she would make scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Unfortunately, she searched the whole house, even the chicken coop, but couldn't find a single egg. She pouted in frustration.

Gu Qinghuan directly picked up a tomato, rubbed it, put it to his mouth and took a bite.

“It’s delicious even when eaten directly!”

Seeing that she didn't mind, Wang Ruolan started over.

After they had prepared lunch, a middle-aged woman's voice came from the door: "Ruojun, is the meal ready?"

Wang Ruolan walked over quickly.

"Ruolan, you're back! I told you that you would be back in the next two days, but your father didn't believe it." The woman looked her daughter up and down with a smile on her face.

Wang Ruolan told the couple about the teacher's visit to their home, and they were a little at a loss as to what to do.

We had never been visited by a teacher at home before, so we were very nervous. Looking at our muddy clothes, we wanted to go back to our room to change into clean clothes, but we felt that we were being too deliberate.

Especially when they saw Gu Qinghuan coming out of the kitchen, their inferiority and cowardice reached their peak.

My goodness, Teacher Ruolan looks like a fairy from heaven.

Gu Qinghuan deliberately wore her old clothes today. They were gray and dull, for fear that they would scare the parents and make them feel distant.
