Chapter 531 The Burden is Heavy (Chapter 13)
Cao Yuda sneered, "That's all for today. I'll go back and make a review plan for you." He turned the page of the notebook and started writing again, "You should prepare all these things tomorrow.
Since you dared to promise to be in the top 100, and I promised to tutor you, then I must be responsible to the end. "
Di Guoliang hummed and nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, classmate No. 2, I will study hard and will not embarrass you."
"Don't just talk big, you have to be prepared for the high-intensity review plan in the next month," Cao Yuda said, then walked out with his bag.
"I'll take you home," Di Guoliang ran out and said seriously, "It gets dark early in the winter. It's too dangerous for a little kid like you to go home."
"Di Guoliang, if you bring up my height again, do you believe that I will not even leave you time to eat or sleep?" Cao Yuda threatened, gritting his teeth.
"Okay, okay, if you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me," he muttered, "I'm concerned about you, and now is the time for you to grow. If you eat more, you can grow a lot. Don't give up too early.
You need to get enough sleep, eat well and exercise more..."
"Okay, it's not easy to make me grow taller, I've been fed with delicious food," Cao Yuda glanced at him, "It's because I'm not getting enough nutrition, my brain isn't well supplied, so I definitely can't grow taller."
Di Guoliang suddenly felt like a heavy burden was placed on his shoulders, and nodded solemnly, "Student Cao, don't worry, I will make sure you can have a good meal!"
Cao Yuda was also the child of a textile factory worker, but his family was ordinary and the whole family lived in only two small bungalows.
"We're at my house, you can go back." He waved and left without looking back.
When Di Guoliang saw him enter the house, he turned around and left, thinking about how to improve the food quality for himself and Cao. The most important thing is that he doesn't want to fight for his stomach every meal, and it's better to put that energy into studying.
He walked over with his head frowned. He had no money, and he didn't want Pei Donggang and Zhong Meixin to take advantage of him.
But the reality was before him, and he was a little worried, but he also remembered that he had to attend the video conference.
Zhong Kangle knew his troubles and said with a smile: "Brother Liangzi, I actually have some private money. Take it and buy some meat and eggs for you and classmate Cao at the state-owned restaurant to supplement your body. You still have to go home for dinner."
Di Guoliang asked curiously, "Brother, didn't you say that your mother locked you in the house like she was guarding against thieves, and you couldn't leave at all?
Where did you get your private money? Did your father give it to you when you left him?"
“No, my mother is a temporary worker. She has to do things every day. She sends my brothers and sisters to the nursery and then goes to work.
I do the manual labor she takes on at home.
It's not like she's watching me all day. I don't know if I've done more and my speed has increased, so I have extra time.
So I made an agreement with the grandma next door and asked her to help me get some private work, which I would pass through the window, and she would earn a commission.
I originally wanted to save money and sneak out to find my dad, but now I don’t have the time to do that.”
Zhong Kangle said with a smile.
He told Di Guoliang where he hid the money.
"Okay, brother, I'll make it up to you when I earn scholarship money," Di Guoliang nodded.
When he got back, he found the money that Zhong Kangle had hidden. There was actually more than a hundred yuan! Looking at the money, Di Guoliang's face darkened.
He could fully imagine how Zhong Kangle saved the money penny by penny.
Di Guoliang raised his eyebrows, put the money away, and then found Pei Donggang and Zhong Meixin who were watching TV, and said with a smile: "Dad, Mom, classmate Cao and I are in the period of growing up and using our brains the most. Our family's food supply is insufficient, so I want to go to the canteen or the state-owned restaurant to eat, or ask the aunt next door to help cook for me.
Before, I thought that the food allowance promised to me by the program team would take two months to get, and my family’s financial situation might be tight.
But I just talked to my younger brother, and he said that he can earn more than 30 yuan a month doing handicrafts at home, and the food costs less than 10 cents a day. After deducting the 5 yuan rent a month, he can save 20 yuan.
My mother said that she would save it for him to get married, so she lent it to me first and I will return it to him later.
It’s not much, just borrow 200 yuan first.”
Pei Donggang and Zhong Meixin's faces almost turned green. The fig leaf they had been wearing for so many years was finally revealed in front of the entire country.
Without waiting for them to speak, Di Guoliang asked, "Are you guys playing the same trick as the parents, saying you're keeping the money but actually pocketing it?
After all, my brother is not the one born from your marriage. Will you care if he gets married, has children, and buys a house in the future?
If you don't care, you can't swallow the money, otherwise you will be criticized by your colleagues and neighbors. "
"Guoliang, how can you talk like that?" Pei Donggang said coldly, "Yes, you are sensible now, but you are only thirteen years old after all. How much can you understand? If we give you the money, you will spend all the two hundred yuan in a few days. Is that good enough?"
"My brother said he lent it to me, and I have the ability to earn back the prize money. At worst, I still have the 200 yuan given by the program team as a base. Why can't I do that?
Money is important, but are studying and growing taller unimportant?
I only spend a lot because I can earn money. Besides, I can spend two hundred yuan for several months, not all at once." He stuck his neck out and shouted loudly like all unreasonable children.
The whole corridor could hear it.
Zhong Meixin is regretting it so much now. For the sake of this live broadcast program and the 1,200 yuan, she and her husband have almost become old turtles.
"Here, here, here!" She gritted her teeth and said, "One hundred yuan, this is the food standard you mentioned before. You don't have to pay it back!"
"This originally belonged to me," Di Guoliang curled his lips in dissatisfaction, "No, I always feel that it is too unsafe for my brother's money to be kept with you.
I have calculated for my brother. He has been taking jobs since you got married. Even though he made less money at first, he still made an average of 20 yuan a month in those four years. After deducting 10 yuan for expenses and filial piety, he should have saved 480 yuan with you, mom."
"If Kang Le doesn't live with me anymore, I will just give all the money to him," Zhong Meixin said coldly, "How can an adult like me be interested in his money? It's only a hundred yuan! Take it or leave it!"
Di Guoliang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Yes, it was originally mine."
Anyway, his purpose was not really to get the money back for Zhong Kangle, but just to make things difficult for them and make them feel uncomfortable after taking the money, instead of taking it for granted as before.
Alas, he has a heavy burden now. He has to buy tickets and clothes for his mother, raise classmate Cao to be tall and fat, and save some money for his younger brother to marry.
So he not only had to get into the top 100, but also had to move further forward.
