Chapter 257: Thanksgiving
Yang Qitai has been busy with this matter recently. In his opinion, it is too child's play to drop out of school because of a small illness, Tan Jing's life experience is worthy of sympathy, and his grades are also very good - unlike genius children like Maozi, Tan Jing is very diligent and hardworking, and it is a pity that such a sensible and filial child drops out of school.
But the problem now is not that the Tan family doesn't let him go to school, but that Tan Jing himself decided not to go to school, even if Yang Qitai ran a few times, Sister Wang was so anxious that he gave him a few slaps, he just stubbornly refused to agree to go back to school. Sister Wang is a successful person, her family is so poor, and the child is so good, if she doesn't study for the future exam, the child will be ruined.
Many of these children in rural areas drop out of school when they are teenagers and stay at home, follow their parents to work in the fields, and go out to do odd jobs when the farm is not working. When the girl gets married, the boy is introduced to a girl to get married and start a family. Tan Jing is a big deal to mess around like this, but the Tan family is destined to give him anything, and when the time comes, how will he get married and have children without a piece of tile to cover his body?
If he were a girl, maybe the Tan family wouldn't be in a hurry to get away, and maybe he would be able to get a dowry money when the time came. But he is a boy, and he has formal adoption procedures, if he wants to divide the house and land at that time, wouldn't he give his family's things to outsiders? The reason why the Tan family is trying to get rid of him is that Sister Wang knows very well in her heart that now he has chosen to drop out of school, and what awaits him in the future is the end of being alone when he grows up and has nowhere to hide.
She had already planned for this child, even if she smashed the pot and sold iron, she would have to give him out every day when she went out to do odd jobs to earn money. But why is this child so disobedient? After being angry, Sister Wang hugged Tan Jing and cried, "My hard-working baby......
The younger brother is still young and ignorant, and when he saw his mother hugging his brother, he had to squeeze in and beg for a hug. Tan Jing skillfully picked up his younger brother - even though he was only a child, and calmly said to his mother, "I'm not bitter, Mom." How could I be bitter when I met such a good mother as you?" and teased his younger brother, who was writhing around on him mischievously, "And brother, you are all my relatives, and I can't just take care of myself. "As for the rest...... Forget it.
After listening to what Yang Qitai said, Yi Huifen and Yang Xiaobei, who are mothers, were filled with righteous indignation, "How can this be reasonable! When has this been, and there is still no child in elementary school? Who are they?" "That is! Since they adopted someone, they have to be responsible to the end." It's not the child's fault, how can you say don't like a cat or a dog!"
"Actually, the luckiest thing for him is not that he was not sent away, but that he met such a good adoptive mother, she is so kind!" Yang Qitai said. There are also some such adopted children, when the parents have biological children, it is not uncommon for them to ignore and abuse them, and how can they raise a biological relative across the belly? The most commendable thing about Sister Wang is that she still does not abandon or give up on this from beginning to end, and does her best to give him the best.
"By the way, shouldn't he have a subsidy in this situation, free tuition?" Yang Xiaobei remembered that Huang's Primary School has a scholarship fund, which specifically rewards students who study well, as well as poor students.
"I also know, but he was adopted, and he is not an orphan, and his family is not a five-guarantee household, so he is not eligible!" Yang Qitai only learned about Tan Jing's situation this year. At that time, in order to be fair and just, Yang Xiaobei set the charter that the subsidy for extremely poor students needed to be certified by the village and met the conditions. She didn't expect such a special situation at the beginning!
"What's so difficult about this, special treatment in special circumstances!" Yang Xiaobei decided without care. It's funny to say, this primary school is Yang Xiaobei is responsible for fund review, Yang Qitai is responsible for school teaching operations, not so much Huang's Primary School, but "Yang's Primary School", the Yang family brothers and sisters can decide almost everything about the school. Fortunately, Huang Zhiyi doesn't care about this, he just pays to buy a reputation for his uncle.
But now the focus of the problem is not on tuition fees, but on the Tan family's harsh attitude towards children. "Alas, like the Tan family, it's really hard for Sister Wang!" Yi Huifen said sympathetically, but what can be done? Marrying into such a family and having such a husband, this is her life. There is no such thing as divorce these years, and if she really wants to leave this family, she will not be able to raise her head in front of the world. No matter how hard and tired Sister Wang is, she never thought of leaving this family, she just wanted this child to be worthless.
"I remember, that kid came to sell yellow eels in the summer!" Yi Huifen said, thinking that a child as old as Tan Jing would be crazy to play in addition to crazy play in the summer vacation, but he followed at a young age to catch yellow eels and lobsters and sell them for money. He was too young, and every time he just came with a small net, and his family gave him a whole number when they saw him pitiful, and each time it was only one or two yuan.
The kid was very sensible, and knew that people were helping him, so he was embarrassed to thank him every time. But if you give him more, don't want it, and resolutely sell as much as you want, which is very backbone. "He is a very clever child, and such a child often has high self-esteem and does not want to be charified. Why don't we go talk to Sister Wang and let Tan Jing come to our house?"
Yi Huifen's sympathy was overflowing, thinking that her family was not unable to raise children, and the Tan family might not be able to raise them as well as the Yang family. Yang Xiaobei will not be as simple as her, "Tan Jing will definitely not agree, Sister Wang has worked hard to protect him, he can't go to school for his mother, how can he leave her?"
Yang Qitai had a good idea, "What if I hired Sister Wang to cook at school? In this way, he will be with his mother and have a stable income, so he will naturally come back to school." ”
This is a good idea, there are hundreds of teachers and students in the school, and although the work in the cafeteria is a little tiring, it is still much more suitable than digging lotus root in the cold muddy water in the winter. In particular, the canteen does not have to worry about eating and drinking, and can also take care of the children, which is simply a joy for everyone. The Tan family did not continue to be a demon because Sister Wang got this "beauty difference", and they did not continue to be demons because of Sister Wang's stable income every month - they knew very well that the school gave this job for Tan Jing's sake, and if the child still didn't go to school, then there would be no job.
After receiving such care from the school, Sister Wang was grateful, and Tan Jing also went to Principal Yang to express her gratitude. The little child didn't speak grandiose, and he held back for a long time before he said, "I will definitely repay you in the future, just like I repay my mother." ”
Yang Qitai took out the cotton clothes prepared for him by his wife and sister at home and handed them to him, and said with a smile, "Repay my mother's affirmation." The purpose of the school is not to let a child drop out of school, we just did what we did, and if you study hard and have a future success, it is a reward for the teachers. ”
Tan Jing, who dropped out of school and didn't cry at home, was scolded by his grandparents and didn't cry when his mother protected him, walked in school with a brand new cotton coat and burst into tears. Later, he really studied hard, was admitted to the university as his mother wished, and took his mother and younger brother to the city. After working, his salary was handed over to his mother, and he arranged for his younger brother to get married and buy a house, even though he knew that this younger brother was not related to him.
This is how he repays his mother, as well as Mr. Yang. Every year during the Chinese New Year, he will go to pay New Year's greetings to Mr. Yang, even if he can't afford the gift, it is his heart to bow. Later, after going out, I still insisted on sending gifts back every year, and it never stopped for decades.
