Chapter 104: Where to go, where to offer
"Brother Li is the most handsome!"
Xiaoying's answer was crisp and neat, without the slightest hesitation, Wu You was stunned for a moment, looking at Feng Wuxiong and the others with a wry smile.
Li International laughed and said, "Just look at you, I can eat one more steamed bun for this meal at noon." ”
Everyone amused Li International's words, Xiaoying laughed again, and finally stopped wiping her tears and let everyone into the courtyard.
Xiaoying's grandmother walked out tremblingly, and when she saw Li International and the others having large bags of things, she grinned shyly.
Li International and others identified themselves and said that they came to see Xiaoying, and they didn't want Xiaoying to drop out of school because of tuition fees.
When it comes to dropping out of school, a trace of self-blame flashed in the eyes of Grandma Xiaoying, tears rolled, in the eyes of the elderly, in the countryside, and now it is still in all kinds of inferior grades, only to read high understanding and a way out,
Xiaoying saw that her grandmother's mood fluctuated a lot, and she hugged her tightly.
Li International looked at the old man's expression and knew that he had come to the right place this time, and the self-blame in the old man's eyes touched the hearts of everyone present.
The old man led a few people into the house, the room was a little dim, but it was very clean, the cement floor was spotless, and on the brick wall in the hall, there were rows of awards for small shadows, and the old man introduced them to Li International and others one by one.
This is the certificate that Xiaoying has accumulated since elementary school, and there are more than twenty in a row.
Xiaoying's face was red, and she pulled her grandmother and said to Li International: "Brother Li, don't mind, grandma will talk about these things when she meets people......"
Li International smiled and said, "This is the pride you earned for your grandmother." ”
As he spoke, he turned to Grandma Xiaoying and said, "Grandma, you are old, don't run out of sight, let's find a way about Xiaoying's tuition." ”
Xiaoying's grandmother had a little trouble listening to Li International's accent and turned to look at Xiaoying.
Xiaoying, who was still surprised, shook her head and said, "No, Brother Li, how can you find a way to ...... the tuition?"
She was so anxious that she couldn't even pay attention to her grandmother's inquiring gaze.
Grandma Xiaoying pulled Xiaoying, Xiaoying whispered something, and grandma's eyes suddenly moistened.
The old man knew that Li International and the others had a hard time listening to her words, so he held Li International's hand tightly and said, "Good man, Li boy, good man." ”
Li International's nose was sour when these words were spoken, and Nan Shannan simply turned his head and wiped his face.
Li International said to Xiaoying: "You don't have to worry about this, I don't fund you endlessly, and besides, this money can't be touched by me, so I ask you, do you still want to study?" ”
Listening to Li International's words, Xiaoying's tears flowed down, nodded desperately, and cried: "Brother Li, I'm ...... I want to study. ”
As he spoke, he couldn't control it anymore, and threw himself into his grandmother's arms and cried bitterly.
Grandma Xiaoying couldn't stop her tears, and patted her granddaughter to comfort her.
Nanshannan's eyes were red, and he said to Li International, Feng Wuxiong and others: "Brother Li, Brother Feng, help Xiaoying." ”
Li International nodded, Feng Wuxiong sighed, Wu You looked at the two of them, and said to Li International: "Or, I'll discuss with the group and let everyone help?" ”
In this way, the alliance leader who was originally prepared is gone.
Li International said: "I will talk about these later, most of the people in the group are students, and they don't have much savings. ”
Nan Shannan's eyes darkened, and he lowered his head and didn't speak.
At noon, everyone hadn't eaten yet, Wu You took Nanshannan to the village entrance to buy some ingredients, went to the stove to cook rice, and it didn't take long for the smell of rice to waft out.
Feng Wuxiong said: "I didn't expect Wu You to have this ability. ”
A group of people laughed, Wu You showed his head from the stove, his face was gray, and said with a smile: "My dad has opened a restaurant for a while, and he is a cook himself." ”
Then it's no wonder.
During the meal, Li International really did as he said, after eating three white-flour steamed buns, Wu You's craftsmanship was still good, and the little shadow grandmother who ate it smiled and kept praising Wu You, Wu You's face turned red.
Xiaoying looked at a few people happily, and the smile on her face was all the time.
After eating, Li International said to Xiaoying, "Where do you go to school?" ”
Xiaoying didn't know why Li International asked this, so she said, "County No. 1 Middle School is quite far from here." ”
Li International saw a 28 bicycle parked in the doorway, with some small decorations on it, and he was quite puzzled before, but now he understands that it is Xiaoying's car.
After listening to Xiaoying's words, Li International nodded and said, "Wait a minute, you can clean up, explain to grandma, and then find a trustworthy neighbor and follow me to your school to have a look." ”
Several people at the table were surprised, looking at Li International, Xiaoying nodded, not thinking about anything else.
It didn't take long for everyone, including Xiaoying, to react, and the reason why they called a neighbor was probably because Li International wanted to reassure the grandmother and Xiaoying herself.
After all, it is not very convenient for a little girl to go out with a group of big men.
Feng Wuxiong said: "That's it, it's useless to go to so many people, Lao Yu, Nanshan Nan and Wu You, the three of you are at home with the elderly, and we will go back as soon as we go." ”
He was the one who knew Li International's mind the most, and he knew what Li International was thinking, so he nodded secretly.
If you give the money directly to Xiaoying, the amount is not easy to grasp and Xiaoying will feel guilty, let Xiaoying directly ask Li International for tuition in her future studies, Xiaoying will definitely be embarrassed as a girl, and she will feel guilty after a long time.
Hearing that he was going to take Xiaoying to the school to have a look, the old man really showed a hesitant look, and Xiaoying called a middle-aged villager from the house on the slope, and the old man breathed a sigh of relief.
After leaving the three of them behind, Li International and others drove to the county seat, nearly ten kilometers, Xiaoying took care of her grandmother to go back and forth to school, it was not easy, fortunately, there was a provincial road through.
When she arrived at the school, Xiaoying first led Li International and others to find the head teacher.
The head teacher is a woman about forty years old, after seeing Xiaoying, she was first surprised, and then very happy, and said: "Xiaoying, I told the school about the tuition, and the school contacted your family and said that it would be accommodating. ”
Xiaoying said, "Thank you, teacher." ”
Li International explained his intention to the teacher, and the female teacher was very surprised and said, "Who is Xiaoying, sir?" ”
Who? It can't always be said that it is a book friend relationship.
Li International pecked the words, and finally smiled and said, "I am his cousin, I live in Nanjin, and I just rushed here in the past two days." ”
Xiaoying's eyes widened, she didn't expect Li International to say this, the farmer behind her knew Xiaoying's details, the relatives in the neighborhood were all Zhuang family, where was there such a cousin.
But he also knew that Xiaoying had met a nobleman.
found the school, Li International identified himself and said: "I will pay Xiaoying's tuition, but I live in Nanjin all the year round, I wonder if the school can provide an account number?" ”
The school leader is a middle-aged, a little bald, looked at Xiaoying and said: "This child is excellent in character and learning, and we were also surprised to suddenly say that he dropped out of school, the family situation is really special, so let's ask, if there is no problem, I will give you an account, Xiaoying, this child We are really reluctant, but we can't help because of the regulations." ”
Li International said: "This is the best. ”
Xiaoying is now in her third year of high school, and she will take the college entrance examination this year, so she can't study if she is delayed at this time, Li International paid the tuition for this semester first, and the rest will be talked about later.
Coming out of school, Li International avoided Xiaoying, discussed with everyone, pooled 20,000 yuan, and gave it to Xiaoying.
Xiaoying said that she would not ask for anything.
Li International said: "It's not my alone, everyone's mind, and this money is not for you, you still have to go to college, what should you do with your usual expenses?" and grandma, I can't let her work hard, be obedient, and save it. ”
Xiaoying entered the bank with tears in her eyes, Feng Wuxiong looked at Li International and said: "Xiaoying, this child is indeed not easy, but this is not a way, what will she do when she goes to college?" ”
Li International thought about it and said, "Where she goes, I will provide for her." ”
