"Xiao Mu, you're finally back, Teacher Yang is looking for you everywhere. Yu Yun saw Lin Xiaomu returning to the dormitory tired, and hurriedly informed.

"Looking for me, what's the matter?"

"I don't know, I'm in a bit of a hurry, I called your phone and turned it off again. ”

"I came out all day part-time, and my phone ran out of battery. Lin Xiaomu pursed his lips at Yu Yun.

"I know that's the case, next time you go out for a long time, you can bring the power bank on my bookshelf, don't let people find it. Yu Yun said with concern, this silly girl is always distressing, the mobile phone is still the kind of defective product sent by the charging phone bill, and it is always turned off without power for no reason.

"Okay, follow my sister's orders. Lin Xiaomu echoed with a smile.

Lin Xiaomu followed the instructions of the head teacher, Teacher Yang, and went to her office after class the next day.

"Teacher Yang, are you looking for me?"

"Are you here?" Teacher Yang responded to Lin Xiaomu with a smile.

"Come, let's go out and talk. ”

Lin Xiaomu saw that there were three other teachers present in Teacher Yang's office, and it was estimated that there were some important things that were inconvenient to talk about here, and a faint sense of foreboding suddenly arose in his heart.

They kept their words short as they walked until they came to a stop by the student lake on the west side of the school building.

On the shore of the Xuezi Lake in early winter, the lotus leaves in the pond are withered, and the remaining lotus petals are already blackened and the petals are yellow.

"Xiao Mu, did you buy a laptop last week?" asked Teacher Yang cautiously.

"Well, I bought a second-hand HP. ”

"That's right, your bursary application was stuck because someone reported that you could afford something expensive, and the spot was given to another classmate. ”

Lin Xiaomu only felt that his mind was buzzing, and in an instant, his throat seemed to be choked by an inexplicable sourness, and he was speechless.

Because I have always borrowed Yu Yun's computer, and there are many courses that need to use computers, so I thought that the bursary should come down soon, so I borrowed more than 1,000 from Yu Yun to buy a second-hand laptop.

Last week, she walked around most of the electronic city with Yu Yun to pick out this HP laptop that looked like it was still eighty percent new, and she was so excited that she had insomnia that night. She no longer has to borrow someone else's, and she no longer has to envy others for having access to the Internet at any time. She can even download a lot of the latest movies and TV shows back to her hometown to show her grandfather and mother, so that they can also see what the world is like outside the mountains.

The bursaries applied for in the first two years were successfully disbursed, and each time this bursary, which was a huge amount of money for the Lin family, could alleviate their family's embarrassment at that time. Some time ago, Lin Xiaomu also promised Wang Aiping to remit the money back to build the tattered eaves in front of the house.

Now, everything has come to naught, and it is a fact that she bought a computer, so she doesn't want to argue anything with Mr. Yang anymore. She just didn't expect that this year's application for financial aid would be so intense, so that a small campus could become a big society, and all kinds of selfishness, profit-seeking and jealousy of human nature were exposed.

"What?, the bursary is stuck?" Yu Yun's eyes widened in disbelief.

Lin Xiaomu leaned on the bed frame and nodded listlessly.

"It must have been Ye Yi's doing, I said that she usually pretended to be harmless. ”

In fact, there is no need for Yu Yun to say, she can also guess that Ye Yi reported it. This Ye is the only one in Lin Xiaomu's class who has a similar family background to Lin Xiaomu, and even better than Lin Xiaomu's financial situation, but the number of national grants for the department is limited every year, and Ye Yi is always stuck in the academic year is not good enough and loses to Lin Xiaomu.

"How can this be reasonable, what's wrong with poor students? Poor students can't buy computers, can they only wear beggar clothes every day?" Yu Yun on the side was still angry.

"Forget it, Sister Yun, I'll work hard next year. Lin Xiaomu said with a wry smile.

"What are you working on, with today's matter, I don't know if it will affect next year's evaluation. ”

Lin Xiaomu was thoughtful, and Yu Yun's worries were not unreasonable.

"In this way, when I apply for this next year, I will discuss a way with everyone. Don't think about it so much. ”

"Well, it's fine, it's just that I'll have to pay you back later. ”

"Little meaning, you pay it back slowly, I'm not in a hurry. ”

"Yes, meeting you, a little rich woman, is really a blessing from my previous life, haha!" Lin Xiaomu grinned.

In fact, she didn't want to make such a big fuss, after all, the annual bursary application was a silent fight. Everyone who wants to compete for the quota wants to succeed, they have to deliberately magnify their poverty, during this period, you must stick to the attitude that you should have as a poor student, not wasteful, not transgressive, and not extravagant.

Although she is poor, her ambition is not short, and so many years of tempering and forbearance have made her heart stronger. She can do several part-time jobs to support herself while ensuring her studies, she can stick to her little dreams in a world of extravagance and glitz, and she can maintain the sacred dignity in her heart in the face of all kinds of injustice and adversity.

Early the next morning, when Dou Keer saw Lin Xiaomu in the classroom, she flew over to comfort her, "I've heard what Sister Yun said, everyone is on your side in this matter, so you can relax and don't be sad." ”

"Xiao Mu, if you need help, look for me. Xu Yingying added softly on the side.

"I'm fine, at most I can do two more part-time jobs, and I'll earn it back soon." ”

"That's true, don't say anything else, I'm most convinced that Xiao Mu is the queen of work. Dou Keer agreed again and again.

"Be quiet!" Xu Yingying poked Dou Ke'er on the shoulder, signaling them Ye Yi to come over.

I saw Ye Yi walking quickly from the middle of the classroom, she lowered her head and didn't look at it, and walked straight to a seat in the back.

"What a villain!" Dou Ke'er scolded secretly.

Lin Xiaomu was indignant, born in a poor family, it is natural to take it for profit, but she Lin Xiaomu does not have the heart and guts.

She recalled that once upon a time, she and Ye Yi worked together in the library, and Ye Yi would share a lot of things with her at that time. She is sensitive and has low self-esteem, because she was scolded and cried by a customer when she worked part-time in an outside restaurant, and she has not worked part-time outside since then. She envied Lin Xiaomu's calmness and intelligence, but everything was like a world away, and now, they can't seem to go back to the past.
