Chapter 30 School Begins
Zheng Hu on the side was also said, but Zheng Hu seemed to feel that he was a man, and it was not interesting to fight with a woman, and this woman was still his wife's sister, so he didn't say much. Zhang Tao's aunt-in-law, who was on the other side of the pen, www.biquge.info said a fair word: "Isn't it normal for this kid to fight, what is there to say about the past after losing or winning, this is the New Year." ”
This matter was soon revealed, but it made Zhang Tao more and more unhappy with his second aunt and his second aunt's house, and went to sleep by himself after sitting in the room for a while, and even a few adults were still there to run away and go to watch it, and the TV was even more uninterested, his TV was too small, only eleven inches, and it looked awkward.
After breakfast the next day, several families began to go back, which also means that the matter of visiting relatives during the Spring Festival is over. The rest of the relatives are women's affairs, and when Zhang Tao's mother comes, they will wait for the Spring Festival after the relatives are all here, and their sisters will also go once, which is a custom. Zheng Hu's relative Zheng Hu went alone, because it was too far and it was not easy to take a car, so he never brought his children over, and he usually only went once in a few years.
This year, because he was going to Shenzhen, he didn't go back to his hometown. After leaving his relatives, he went to Shenzhen with Zheng Conghu on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and when he left, Zhang Cuihua stuffed some fried wild boar and pheasant into his bag, and boiled a lot of eggs for Zheng Hu to eat when he was hungry on the road. Zheng Congwu's bag contained similar things, and the two of them also poured a bottle of glutinous rice wine mixed with boiling water from home to drink on the way.
At this time, the traffic is simple and there are many people, so don't want to see those pushing trolleys and selling "cigarettes, beer, melon seeds... "What kind of waiter, everything is taken to the road to eat, and you have to be careful of pickpockets in the car at all times. Zheng Hu's money was not only the money to buy a ticket, but Zhang Tao saw that he was directly stuffed into the soles of his shoes. The corners of Zhang Tao's mouth twitched when he saw Zheng Hu doing this scene, he didn't experience this when he went out to work later, so he couldn't experience this feeling.
When Zhang Tao went out to work, the slow train he first took was also the kind with seats, but it was difficult to buy seats, and he had never seen a cage car or anything. And the security at that time was a little better, the pickpockets I saw on the train were not so rampant, and the environment was much better.
Not long after Zheng Hu went to Shenzhen, he sent a telegram to his family, with a few words on it: "I have entered the factory to work". At this time, there was no telephone in the countryside, and the telegraph was the fastest way to communicate. However, Zhang Tao estimated that his father should have entered the factory after arriving in Shenzhen, otherwise the telegram would not be so fast, indicating that Zheng Congwu was still very reliable, otherwise Zheng Hu would have to go back to the original factory to work.
After receiving Zheng Hu's telegram, Zhang Cuihua was relieved, and at this time Zhang Tao and they also started school. Zhang Tao's primary school on their side started very early, and the Lantern Festival started before it passed, and the other thing is that the people on their side don't pay much attention to the Lantern Festival, and they usually cook a meal of dumplings and glutinous rice cakes at home. At this time, there are not many young people who regard this festival as Valentine's Day to send flowers and buy a house to open a house, and everyone is very casual to pass this festival.
"Alas, why has the tuition fee increased so much this year, half more than last semester? I heard that those who didn't pay the advance fee had to pay an extra 10 yuan. "I haven't seen the school yet, and when I met a few parents on the road who took their children to sign up for new books, the sound of their discussion made Zhang Tao frown after hearing it, and the tuition fee has risen again? What's more, if the prepayment fee in the back was not paid, it cost ten yuan more, which made Zhang Tao very unhappy, and he also remembered some bad memories.
The three brothers and sisters were not going to get the new books today, but were going to go to register for the tuition first, and then go back to tell his mother that Zhang Cuihua would take the tuition fees and the three children to get the new books together. Zhang Tao doesn't know if this prepayment fee is elsewhere, but he knows that there is a problem with this fee, not to mention the nonsense that he didn't pay the prepayment fee last year and has to pay an extra ten yuan this year, and his brother and sister didn't pay the prepayment fee in the second half of last year because of family tension.
In addition, Zhang Tao's memory of his previous life is still there, knowing that this semester, because of the prepayment of fees, the parents of the students and the teacher who charged the school had a fight, and after the fight, the children of that family did not pay the extra money and took the books, and the children went to school like the same, so Zhang Tao was particularly unhappy. This time he said that he wouldn't pay the extra money, and it was a big deal to just copy the guy and flatten the teacher who charged again, he couldn't control other people's affairs, but his three siblings would have to pay an extra thirty yuan together, which was not a small amount at this time.
After arriving at the school, the three of them first reported their names, and then went to see the tuition fees, Zhang Yan had sixteen yuan this year, Zhang Tao had thirty-two yuan this year, and Daniel Zhang had more, more than fifty yuan. The three of them together are a little more than a hundred, which is twice as much as in the second half of last year.
After signing up from the school and returning from school, Daniel Zhang told Zhang Cuihua about the tuition fees of the three people, Zhang Cuihua should have heard other parents say, and she had a bottom in her heart, but now it is still a little difficult to accept listening to her son say this, especially because he did not pay the advance payment fee last year, and he has to pay an extra thirty yuan this year, which is even more painful "Why is this tuition rising so fast?" Everything else isn't going up as fast as it is. ”
Heartache is heartache, but children still have to read, no matter how expensive it is, they have to pay it. At this time, most rural people gritted their teeth and let their children go to school, in their hearts, everything is inferior, but the traditional concept of reading is still very deep, and they always think that reading is the way out for rural children. "Mom, we're going to pay the tuition for this semester ourselves."
Just when Zhang Cuihua was calculating, Zhang Tao on the side spoke. After hearing this, Zhang Cuihua instinctively felt that it was inappropriate, it was more than 100 yuan, how could she let the child take it to get a new book, although the elementary school was not far from her home. "No! You are still young, and I don't feel at ease with so much money on you. ”
Daniel Zhang and Zhang Yan on the side also didn't understand a little after listening to Zhang Tao's words, and didn't understand why Zhang Tao wanted to pay the tuition himself. They have rarely seen so much money, and they usually feel rich when they can take a piece or two, but now it is more than a hundred, and it is not safe to put it on themselves, so they don't understand why Zhang Tao asked his mother like this.
The weather in Shonan is sometimes like a nervous disease, and seeing the wind and sunshine during the Spring Festival makes people feel as if spring has arrived early, but after a cold rain in a blink of an eye, the cold air goes south, making the whole temperature change like winter again. It's still the time of school at this time, which makes the happy little kids who have just played in the Spring Festival reluctant to go to school, so when they receive the books, they are like frost, and they are depressed, and there is no excitement at all that they can play with their classmates when school starts.
Zhang Tao finally convinced his mother, and then took the tuition fees of his three siblings to the school to get the books. However, he did not go in the morning, but after lunch, he walked to school with Daniel Zhang and Zhang Yan. Along the way, Daniel Zhang kept looking around like a thief, and looked behind him from time to time, for fear that Zhang Tao would lose their tuition, and Zhang Tao felt a little like smoking him.
They came a little early, and there were not many people in the school paying for new books. Zhang Tao walked directly to pay the fee, and when he saw the male head in his memory, he did not come over, but stood aside to watch, Daniel Zhang obviously did not understand his brother's approach, and said impatiently, "What are you doing here?" Let's get the book back, it's freezing here. ”
Zhang Tao didn't say anything, but looked at the parent who was ready to pay the advance fee for the teacher who had a relationship with the charging teacher, the person had not seen the teacher relax for so long, and now he was holding his breath, he had prepared so much money at home, and the three children would have to pay more than thirty yuan, where would he get the money from? At this time, other people's families asked for money because of their children's studies and spring planting, and it was difficult to borrow money, and he was reluctant to owe some money from the school, so he was a little anxious and spoke a little louder. It's just that the teacher still didn't pay attention to him, and his speech was still a little ugly.
Then before Zhang Tao's three siblings could react, there was a bang, and the parent made a move, and with one punch, he knocked the charging teacher to the ground, which stabbed the hornet's nest, and even the principal of the school was alarmed. However, the parent is also a bit of a murderer nearby, the school teacher is not a character who can play, the man is standing there, but no teacher rushed to help, and finally the guy threw the tuition fees of his three children on the table where he paid the fees, "Lao Tzu will pay so much tuition, if you dare not give my child a book, Lao Tzu will stay here and not leave, and you don't want to start school." If you are not convinced, you can go to the police, I don't believe in this evil, other schools don't have this set, and it makes sense for you to play this set. ”
Then the guy pulled the three children to stand in the place where the fee was paid, the three children Zhang Tao all knew each other, a school is so big, how could they not know each other after staying together for several years. The three children's academic performance is not bad, and now they seem to be very aggrieved standing there, and they are obviously scared by such an incident, but they don't dare to cry, probably for fear of being scolded by him.
The principal of the school went up and persuaded a few words to no avail, and the man seemed to be ready to let go, and finally several leaders of the school felt quite helpless, and then discussed and asked the parent to pay the fee to get the book. Zhang Tao saw that the opportunity had come, picked up a piece of dry brick from the ground and put it in his schoolbag, and then immediately rushed over.
As soon as the parent left, Zhang Tao immediately paid his tuition, "There are three of us, one in the sixth grade, one in the third grade, and one in the preschool. Then in front of the charging teacher and several school leaders, he took back the thirty yuan that had been prepared superbly, and then handed in the registration forms for the three people.
