It was from Yao Yongbo that Gu Jinzhi learned that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law across the street were acquainted with each other. One was the wife of the vice principal of the central primary school and also a teacher, and the other was the mother of the vice principal.
Gu Jinzhi really didn't expect that the people on the opposite side actually had such abilities.
"So just go talk to them directly. My experience won't help," Yao Yongbo said. "They're all real people. If you have any difficulties, just speak up. There's nothing they can't solve for your child's schooling."
After hearing what Yao Yongbo said, Gu Jinzhi probably understood what he meant and nodded: "Okay, thank you, I'll go ask them."
Gu Jinzhi came out of the village committee and took Gu Mingze back home. Along the way, they met many people from Huaihe Village. Gu Jinzhi greeted them with a smile and told them about her visit.
Although most people were a little surprised, they still welcomed her arrival.
When he returned home, Gu Mingze saw Gu Jinzhi rummaging through drawers and cabinets looking for something.
"Mom, what are you looking for?"
Gu Mingze asked, tilting his head.
Gu Jinzhi said without turning her head: "I'm looking for something to give to the neighbors across the street."
If she had known that the house across the street was the home of the vice-principal of the central primary school, she would definitely not have sent such a small snack.
The Ling family is not poorly off, so they definitely don’t lack such a little snack.
Now I have to ask them to help solve Gu Mingze's schooling problem, so I have to show my gratitude in some way.
Gu Jinzhi flipped through the pages for a long time and couldn't help but sigh.
She really didn't have anything valuable in her hands now. She was in a hurry when she came here before and didn't bring much luggage with her. She just had some money.
But she couldn't just send the money directly.
That would be too ugly.
After searching for a long time, Gu Jinzhi only found two things that were suitable as gifts.
One is her pocket watch. Although it is not as convenient as a wristwatch, it is also of great commemorative value.
As for the other item, it was a newly bought skirt that she had never worn once. If it was given to the wife of Vice Principal Ling, it would be quite suitable.
Gu Jinzhi thought about it for a long time and finally decided to give her the skirt.
It’s not that I can’t bear to part with the watch, but I just think the skirt is more suitable, and I’m afraid the other party won’t accept the watch.
Gu Jinzhi gave her son some more instructions.
When I go to the Ling family later, I must not treat them the same way as I did to the person from the Su family. I must not make them unhappy.
Gu Mingze nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Mom!"
He just didn't like the little girl from the Su family, so it was really annoying to see her staring at him all the time. Moreover, the aunt from the Su family seemed to have her eyes shining when she saw the snacks his mother sent over.
He doesn't like such greedy people.
In comparison, he felt much more at home when he met the grandmother and aunt of the Ling family.
"I think it's the difference in cultural quality. There's definitely a difference between those who have only been educated and those who haven't," Gu Jinzhi said. "After all, the Ling family values cultural knowledge."
Gu Jinzhi wrapped the skirt in a blue plaid cloth and took Gu Mingze to knock on the Ling family's door again.
This time it was Chu Yuefang who opened the door. She was washing clothes in the yard.
"Hey, Miss Gu, please come in!"
Chu Yuefang greeted with a smile.
Since we are already neighbors, we will have a lot of time to spend together in the future, so we should try our best to maintain a good relationship.
