Lin Xiuqing was not as optimistic as they thought. She really cared about her children. If she was willing to send her children to school, where would the tuition fees be?
"Then if you really want to sponsor these children, I have to go to the Women's Federation first and ask the Women's Federation to go to the school to communicate, and then go to those children's homes to persuade them."
"Some families just think that girls' studies are useless. It's not just that they lack the tuition fees. They just want to have more laborers to help with the work or to look after their younger brothers and sisters, so as to reduce the burden on the family."
"If you can study for free now, you might consider it, but some people may be stubborn."
Ye's mother agreed, "That makes sense. Except for the fact that there are many children in the family, it is indeed difficult. Generally, this is because they simply don't want their children to study."
"Who said you can't help with the work when you go to school? You can still weed pigs and go to the fields when you come back from school. You only go to school for a few hours a day. You can still work when you go home."
Ye Yaodong said: "What you said is right, but don't take advantage of the bastard. Even if parents want their children to stay at home and work and don't want to read to their children, most of them are not so cruel. If their children really want to read,
, I will still consider it.”
"If they are really that cruel, most of them will not be able to withstand the pressure of public opinion and the persuasion of relatives and friends."
"Or I can also get a scholarship. In each year, the first place in the semester exam will be awarded fifty yuan, the second place will be thirty yuan, and the third place will be twenty yuan. If you study hard, you can make money, and the children at home will be rewarded.
If your grades are good, you will definitely be able to let go."
"It's a pity that children with good grades who want to go to school are stuck at home and can't go to school. Those with poor grades don't care whether they go to school or not. Anyway, for those with poor grades, studying can't change their destiny. It's better to work early and maybe get rich earlier.
.”
Mother Ye frowned and said, "That's too much, right? Just spend a few dozen yuan for the child. What kind of scholarship can we get? It's not worth hundreds of yuan. Most people can only work for a year."
Earn a few hundred yuan..."
"Forget about elementary school. It's not difficult. Just sponsor the tuition. Our scholarship for junior high school is only for three years. One year is 100 yuan, three years is 300 yuan, and one year is only 600 yuan.
.”
"I earned tens of thousands during this trip. Everyone has seen it and can calculate it roughly. It is appropriate to spend a few hundred yuan to benefit the village. Otherwise, there will be too much money and everyone will be jealous to death."
"Doing some good deeds to spread some money can also give us a buffer and buy us a good reputation. People from all over the country will praise us, and we can also buy some favor from passers-by."
"And the students who have benefited will also thank us. People nowadays are simple, and they will still be grateful after they get into college with good grades."
"If you encounter someone without a conscience, there is nothing you can do about it. If a person eats whole grains, no one can guarantee his character. He can only admit that he is unlucky. But I believe there are more people with conscience."
"Investing money into the school and spending so much money also seems more sincere. If we only sponsor the students' tuition fees, some people may be disdainful and say we are just pretentious."
Mother Ye felt a little distressed. Whose family's money was blown away by the strong wind, and who didn't have to work hard to make money?
"Then even if you spend so much money, people will still say you are pretentious."
"Some people will refute that. After all, we have actually spent money. Some people can stand and talk without pain, so naturally there will be people who can help us speak."
"That's still too much. Three hundred yuan for half a year, six hundred yuan for a year."
"I earn a lot too."
How much is this? He still pays 500 yuan in salary every month.
Since he is lucky and has earned so much money, he still has to give back to the society and do some good deeds, which may somehow increase his luck.
From beginning to end, apart from being a little more diligent, he was not much better than others. He was not as diligent as others. Most of the money he earned was earned through luck.
Now that I have earned such a big sum, I might as well do something good to feel more at ease.
The things in the ground don't matter to him at all. What is cashed out is money, and what is not cashed out is just a pile of dead things. He can only pile them there first, and in two thousand years, he will find opportunities to melt them bit by bit.
If you get it out, get it out, and be safe, it belongs to you.
"You made tens of thousands of yuan just from this trip..."
"Yeah, tens of thousands of dollars is a lot. It can help me provide for my retirement and I won't have to worry about it for the rest of my life. It's okay to spend a few hundred dollars a year to help students. It's a pity that you're still there in front of you. Those who want to
Children who go to school but don’t have to go to school?”
"I just regretted it casually. Who knew that after the regret was over, I would still have to spend money."
"It didn't cost you any money either."
"Your money is no longer money? How can you still earn so much?"
Everyone saw that the mother and son had been arguing back and forth about this matter, and it made their heads hurt. Others couldn't get in the conversation for a while, and their minds couldn't move so fast.
Only Lin Xiuqing saw the opportunity and quickly interrupted them, "Then let's do it this year. Anyway, I did make so much money this year. It's good to do something good and earn some fame, and it will save so many people from being jealous."
"Should we provide scholarships to reward children next year? Let's talk about it next year and see if our family can earn as much money next year."
"If we earn less next year, we will still focus on sponsorship and don't get any bonuses. Everyone can understand. If we earn more, we will help more children with good grades. If we earn less, there will be no
Reduce help for children in need."
Father Ye quickly agreed, "What Ah Qing said is that we don't want to be like this every year. If we make more this year, we will do it this year. If we can make more next year, we will continue to make less next year.
Do what you can.”
"Oh, yes, that's right. This way we don't have to make a fool of ourselves." The old lady also agreed, "We should do good things, but we also have to make money."
Ye Yaodong thinks Aqing's suggestion is very good. You can set it up like this for one year first. Anyway, you will make a lot of money this year. Next year is to be determined.
"Then just listen to Ah Qing and leave it at that."
"Mom, go tell the village committee tomorrow and ask the village committee to contact the school to discuss scholarships. In addition, you will be responsible for sponsoring student tuition fees. Don't let anyone take advantage of the loophole. Anyway, your Women's Federation will definitely contact the school by then.
We will visit the students’ homes together with the teachers to persuade the parents.”
"I'm only responsible for providing the money. I don't care about anything else. I'll find something for you to do, which will also make you show off your prestige!"
"Why should I show off my prestige? What can I do to show off my prestige?" Mother Ye had not yet thought of the glory this place would bring her.
"Isn't it impressive? The scholarship of 600 yuan a year was set up by me. I paid for it. You are my mother. When you go out, won't you be more dignified?"
"In the Women's Federation, you have a bright face, you can lift your chin, hold your head high and hold your chest high. And whichever student you want to sponsor, you have to go to their home and see them before you can nod. You think it's prestigious or not."
When Ye's mother heard what he said, she felt that it made sense, and she instantly felt that she had gained more face. Her son had gained face for her.
But she still pretended to be reserved and said: "Is there a day when I don't hold my head high and my chest high? I haven't done anything wrong."
"Then I'll leave this matter to you. I won't care. In the second half of this year, I only need to give out 300 yuan as a scholarship, and by the way, I can add dozens more yuan to sponsor students' tuition fees. Don't worry about the scholarship, just a few dozen yuan."
It’s a tuition fee. When you decide with the school, just ask Ah Qing for the money.”
"knew."
Lin Xiuqing also smiled and nodded, "Then I have to get a new notebook to record the expenses for this student aid."
"Yes, I definitely want it. This is an important expense. As long as the students we help have a future and know how to be grateful, won't we make a lot of money? Not to mention what we can bring, at least we will be happy mentally. This is called the soul.
The wealth of the world.”
Ye's mother complained to him, "After two years of reading newspapers, I still know a lot."
"Of course, it's because I didn't work hard when I was young, otherwise I would be a talent who passed the first-class university entrance examination now!"
"You can pull him down."
Father Ye saw that mother and son were about to start fighting again, and quickly changed his words, "Now that we're done, let's go back first. It's almost 9 o'clock after all this talk. It's been a tiring day. Go to bed early. What else can I do?"
Let’s talk tomorrow.”
"Okay, it's all said and done anyway."
After sending Father Ye and Mother Ye away, Lin Xiuqing also started calling the child to go home and sleep.
Those children were still playing crazy outside. The adults didn't ask them to come back to sleep, and they didn't even know they were coming back...
Today is also a happy day. Most of the people in the village are happy. The whole family is busy talking. No one has time to take care of the children. They are allowed to run around without anyone looking for them.
Lin Xiuqing shouted several times as if she was hanging on for her life, but in the end she only heard echoing voices and didn't see anyone running back, so she had to go out and carry the person back herself.
"Mom, I promised you. I know I'm coming back. I just made an appointment with everyone to come back tomorrow. Don't carry my clothes. What if they get damaged? These are overalls. Just grab the one inside.
Don't catch the strap..."
Lin Xiuqing glared at him.
Ye Chenghu looked at Ye Chengyang, who was walking easily aside, and Ye Xiaoxi, who was walking with short legs behind him, and felt a little unbalanced in his heart.
"Mom, you don't need to take care of me, you take care of them, I am an older child, they are younger, you take care of them..."
"Why don't you arrest them when you arrest me every time?" Why is he always the one who gets hurt?
"You are my brother. If you fail to take the lead, I will hit you first. Don't say I will arrest you."
Ye Chenghu hummed twice in his heart.
"Give me all the toy cars. Don't play with them when you go back to the house. Wash your hands and feet and then go to bed."
"don't want!"
"I have to go to school tomorrow."
"I promise not to play, and I promise to get up on time tomorrow."
"It's weird that I would believe you."
But while they were washing their feet, Lin Xiuqing wanted to enter their house and take away the toys, but found that she couldn't find them.
It's not under the bed, not in the drawer, not in the schoolbag, and not in the wooden box for clothes.
The only place she couldn't find was the sacks of dried fish piled up in the corner. How could she find them?
She had to give up and warned them after going out, "If you can't get up tomorrow morning, I'll skin you."
The two brothers used a washbasin to soak their feet. They stepped on each other's feet and had a great time. The originally full washbasin was only half filled with water, and there were water stains all around the ground.
"Hey, I will definitely get up."
Ye Chengyang happily stepped on his instep and said, "I don't have to go to school or get up early."
"snort!"
Ye Chenghu was jealous and stepped on him again.
Then the two steps turned into kicks, until one party kicked the other party's chair to the ground. The war ended. After Lin Xiuqing cursed, the two of them hurriedly returned to the house with their tails between their legs.
Lin Xiuqing was so angry that her head hurt, and she was getting more and more naughty while cleaning up.
Ye Yaodong went back to the house and lay down long after his parents left. After Ye Xiaoxi washed his hands and feet and sent them in, he kept playing with the child, actually riding on Ye Xiaoxi's horse.
"It's okay. Without my little ancestor, my old waist is about to break."
"No! Drive!"
"You want my life..."
"Drive, drive, drive... baby... drive, drive..."
Ye Yaodong lay on the bed, rocking back and forth to play with her, until he was tired, and then he lay down straight.
"Oh, I just finished dealing with the older one, and now I have to deal with the younger one. You two, mother and daughter, are really in trouble."
"Dad, please drive..."
"If you don't drive, I'm so tired. Give me a pat on the back and climb up and step on it."
Ye Xiaoxi was also used to being lazy, so she directly carried the doll and let it step on his back.
"Okay, okay, I'm so perfunctory, I don't want you to step on me anymore, just go to bed quickly."
"No, I want to play."
"Can you take your doll away first? It looks weird at night."
"don't want."
"We'll play again tomorrow..."
"don't want."
"Then you can let me play for a while?"
"don't want."
"Then go play in the corner by yourself."
"don't want."
Ye Yaodong saw her holding the baby and pouting, staring at him angrily, with round eyes and bulging cheeks. He couldn't help itching his hands and pinched her face, which made her blush instantly.
However, he felt that it was soft and soft, and the QQ elastic was quite easy to squeeze. He couldn't help but squeeze it a few more times, and started working with his left and right hands at the same time. Unexpectedly, Ye Xiaoxi also followed the same example.
She also threw away the doll in her hand and rushed over to pinch his face.
Ouch, I'm so small, it hurts to pinch me.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't pinch it anymore, I won't pinch it anymore, it hurts..."
"Do you still dare?"
"Let me go, where did you learn that? You learn so fast. How can you teach your father a lesson like this?"
"Do you still dare?"
"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore! You are really good at it, your little butt is a little bigger, you can learn from others, you can learn really fast."
Ye Yaodong laughed while talking and patted her butt.
Unexpectedly, she had to learn this, so she lay directly on his buttocks and slapped him down again and again.
Ye Yaodong's face blossomed with joy, and he cooperated by lying on his stomach and patting her, "I'll give you a shit to eat, do you believe it or not?"
The little girl is a liar, and she really doesn't suffer at all. As soon as he finished speaking, she moved over, sat down with her butt towards his head, and started to twist.
"Ah ah ah, stinky girl, go away, put your stinky ass away..."
Ye Xiaoxi was also giggling with joy, and the childish voice like silver bells came out through the door. The more she laughed, the happier she became, attracting Lin Xiuqing to come in and take a closer look.
After taking a glance, she also smiled.
"Stop making trouble, it's very late, please put the child to sleep quickly."
Ye Yaodong pushed her little butt away and said, "She doesn't look like she wants to sleep. How do you coax her? You do it yourself, I can't coax her."
"I'll just go and close all the doors and windows of the courtyard."
Ye Xiaoxi refused to scratch his butt and was pushed away, then continued to move closer, and kept shouting, "Porphy porphy porphy porphy porphy..."
Ye Yaodong had no choice but to tickle her, and she fell directly onto the bed and rolled around laughing.
"Do you still dare? Do you dare anymore?"
"Mother~hehehe~hahahaha mother~don't...don't..."
"Stop playing, you make her laugh like this late at night. Do you want to go to bed later?"
"Anyway, you coax!"
So sensible and strong!
Lin Xiuqing glanced at him, closed the door, took off her clothes and pants, and turned off the light.
"Ah, there's a power outage... Wow wow wow... there's a power outage..." Ye Xiaoxi jumped up and down, extremely excited, without any fear of the dark.
"Nonsense, I'm going to sleep with the lights off. Just lie down and stop making noise."
"I still want to play..."
"No more playing, go to sleep with the doll."
Now she behaved well. As soon as she was told to sleep with the doll, she immediately became excited and her attention was diverted.
Ye Yaodong used the moonlight to watch her immediately lie down with the baby in her arms, and put her hand on the baby's chest, patting it again and again.
Without thinking, he put himself to sleep without any effort from the couple.
"Isn't this a good night's sleep?"
"I usually go to bed after eight o'clock, but now it's half past nine. Am I not sleepy? I'm just too excited to play with you, so I can't bear to sleep."
Ye Yaodong hugged Lin Xiuqing and asked, "Did anything special happen during the two months I was away from home?"
"There have been thieves intermittently during this period, and most of the strong labor force in the village has been wiped out. It is estimated that many villages know that some idle and second-rate people with dirty hands and feet have targeted our village."
"Fifty-six households were robbed by thieves. They all opened the locks in the middle of the night and didn't know how to get in."
"Wang Guangliang and the others also said that there were many people wandering around at night in the workshop, and they all scolded them and ran away. The same goes for our family. Fortunately, we have a lot of dogs in our yard. I also have two dogs at my back door.
The dogs don’t eat anything from outside either.”
"When the old lady gets up early every day, she often finds steamed buns or bones coated with rat poison."
"Damn! Those individuals will not die well..."
Ye Yaodong just cursed and was reminded by Lin Xiuqing to keep it down because the child had just fallen asleep.
"That's what a man is like when he's not at home. He looks easy to bully to outsiders. Fortunately, our family didn't suffer any damage. As long as the fish is dried in the workshop, people will be watching it all day long."
"Well, fortunately, it's worth going out in the past two months."
"Go to bed early. You're tired after a day at sea."
"Um."
After finishing what he should do, he was already sleepy, so he just forced himself to play with the child for a while.
At this moment, I hugged my wife without any evil thoughts. As soon as I closed my eyes, I fell asleep immediately.
Early the next morning, Ye Xiaoxi also put on the fluffy cake skirt that Ye Yaodong bought for her.
This was the day before he came back. He searched everywhere but couldn't find anything good-looking, so he went to a tailor in a small alley to make it white and puffy according to his requirements. He made many layers of fabric.
Because it was white, Lin Xiuqing didn't put it on for her the night before. Otherwise, it would have turned dark after a while while squatting on the ground, so she wouldn't have to wear it today.
Moreover, it was in vain and no one saw it, so there was no point in wearing it.
At least if I wear it this morning, I can go out and show it to the villagers, and keep it looking beautiful for a while.
Ye Xiaoxi is also very beautiful. After putting on a small skirt, she also felt beautiful and kept twisting and turning in circles.
After hearing the couple's compliments, their faces turned red with joy. They jumped up and down, shouted "Dede", grabbed the baby's hair, and dragged the baby outside to play with his brothers.
Ye Yaodong also followed her with a doting look on his face, "I'm really a genius. I just described it casually to the tailor and made such a beautiful skirt."
"It looks like you made it. Since I asked someone to do it, I don't know how to make it red. The white one is not resistant to stains."
"I didn't think much about it at the time. I asked you to buy some red cloth tomorrow and make it for her like this."
"It's a waste of fabric. There are layers and layers of skirt underneath this skirt. I just looked at it and it seemed like there were four or five layers."
"What does it matter? There is a shortage of this little fabric. If it can't be worn, can't it be used for my niece to wear? Make the best use of it. One piece of clothing is worth wearing for several children."
"Let's wait and see. It won't be long after the Mid-Autumn Festival and the weather will get colder."
"That's easy, just make it long-sleeved."
"Don't just say that. His brothers and sisters have enough clothes left at home. They crawl around and roll around on the ground all day long. Why do they wear so much clothes? When they get up, they quickly go to brush their teeth and wash their faces. They only have the remaining clothes.
If you and Xiaojiu haven't eaten, I have to catch her back."
Ye Yaodong slowly went to the washstand to get his washbasin and tooth cup, and kept saying: "I only have one daughter, so I have to dress up to look good. I can't look like a tomboy and wear gray clothes every day."
It's rolling around."
"But if you put a skirt on her, she will still roll around, and she will only be beautiful for five minutes."
"At least she's pretty. Go call her back quickly. I'll get the camera to take a picture of her. She just put on the skirt and is still clean..."
Lin Xiuqing laughed at him, "If I go and bring her back now, she must be dirty!"
"Uh... then bring it back first..."
After he was brought back, Ye Yaodong had to say that he was still the mother who understood the child.
There were already many handprints on the white skirt, one after another, and it was unknown how many children had touched it, and the hem of the skirt was also darkened and filled with dust.
"Why are you so dirty? It's only been a few minutes since you ran out?"
"I said that right."
"It's okay. Anyway, the photo was taken in black and white and you can't tell whether the clothes are dirty or not."
Lin Xiuqing shook her head and ignored him, letting him do whatever he wanted.
Not to mention people, the doll is so dirty that it can hardly be seen by anyone, it is a waste of natural resources.
Just as Ye Yaodong was taking photos of his children with great interest, Ye's father came over.
"Have you finished filming? Let me tell you something."
"What's going on?"
After Ye Yaodong took a final photo of Ye Xiaoxi sitting in front of the TV watching TV, he straightened up and handed the camera to Lin Xiuqing to put it away.
"Your eldest and second brothers were discussing buying a boat this morning. They just called me over and asked me to follow them to the shipyard to have a look."
"It's a good thing. If they want to order a ship, they should do it early. There are no shipyards in the surrounding towns and even the neighboring counties. There is only one in our county, and there is a certain number of ships that can be built in a year."
"Ordering early will also help you get it earlier. Otherwise, there will be too many people ordering the boat and it won't be built. You will have to push it back or go to the city to order it, which will be more expensive."
Father Ye echoed, "That's what I told them too..."
"Then what are they going to do with the old boat you gave them before? Are they going to give my boat back to me when they get their new boat? Isn't it good?"
"I haven't said anything about your boat, but at least I have to wait until the new boat is available before I can return it to you. That old boat is too old, and the machines are always broken. They both made a lot of money this time, and they don't want it anymore.
,well."
"ah?"
He thought that one of his eldest and second brothers would want an old boat, while the other would buy a new boat. Unexpectedly, both of them disliked it and neither wanted it.
"That boat was left by my father, so we can't sell it."
"That's what I said too. I asked them to sell me the boat and I paid to buy it back. They were also filial. After hearing what I said, they said they could just return the boat to me. They said that I also gave it directly to them at that time.
They haven't passed a few months either."
"That's fine, that's the best. We're all a family anyway, and we have to go back and forth. I'll give you the boat, and you can rent it when the time comes, and you'll get half of the money for your retirement."
"Well, we just finished discussing it. I originally wanted to call you, but I heard from some children that you haven't gotten up yet."
"It's okay. You don't need to call me. You can just take care of your boat. When you want to return the boat to me, we are no longer a partnership. Just ask the eldest and second brothers to tell me."
Ye Yaodong didn't care about this matter, and it didn't harm his interests anyway. They could handle it however they wanted, return the ship to him whenever they wanted, or end the cooperation.
"Then we are going to the shipyard. Are you going?"
"Go on, let's go together after I finish breakfast, and take a look at how my boat is doing. I haven't seen it in more than two months."
"Then let's go together after you finish eating."
Lin Xiuqing put away her camera and went out to fill a bowl of porridge for him, and fed Ye Xiaoxi by the way. She smiled and said: "Now our family has two more boats. When outsiders talk about our family, they are all boats. Dad and I
My mother’s face is shining.”
Father Ye also smiled with his eight teeth exposed, "It doesn't matter if my face is bright or not, as long as you all make a difference."
"It's definitely promising. After we get all the boats, who can have as many boats as our brothers? Our family already occupies half of the entire village."
"Hahahaha~" Ye Fu said happily, "Hurry up and eat."
"Did Mom go to the village committee this morning?"
"I'm here. I just want to find something for her to do. Otherwise, I'll be chatting all day long. Last night, when I went back and lay down, I watched her bake the pies all night long. I guess I was very excited.
"
Chapter completed!
