Chapter 3 Life is a Matter of Countless Difficulties

Back at home, at the dinner table, Li Xiaoli said suddenly: "I'm going to live on campus when school starts on Monday." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

"What's that?" Zhang Meihuazui asked first faster than her brain.

"I wanted to live on campus and my application was approved. I wanted to go to the county's key No. 1 middle school, so I applied to live on campus so that I could spend all my time studying. ”

"How much does it cost to live on campus?"

"It doesn't cost anything. Free of charge. ”

"It doesn't cost anything to eat?"

“…… It costs money", Li Xiaoli's voice lowered, short of breath. This question hits the nail on the head.

"No way!" Li Zhuang spoke, "The family has already spent a lot of money for you to go to school, and you can't spend any more money."

Compulsory education spends a fart money, I don't spend as much as Li Shaolong in a month, the stubborn and arrogant villain in Li Xiaoli's heart is jumping on the table, but her face is still faint, she thought about it for a while, and let it go:

"I'll figure out how to pay for the food myself, I don't ask you for it, and I don't steal or rob it. Anyway, I had to live on campus. It's been a crucial year for me. ”

Zhang Meihua was just about to open her mouth, Li Shaolong spoke: "Then let her live in the school, I don't want to be in a room with her all night, with the lamp on all night, pretending to study, so that I can't sleep well." Hurry up and go out to live, it's annoying to watch. ”

Li Xiaoli and Li Shaolong live in a room, separated by a wire curtain in the middle. The sister and brother look at each other and hate each other, the younger brother thinks that the sister's desk lamp is too bright, and the elder sister is eager to chop off the younger brother's stinky feet.

Now that the son has spoken, the matter is settled. But Li Zhuang was still not at ease: "Xiaoli, then let's say okay, there is no money at home to feed you, you can't do shameful and illegal things, our old Li family has always been a person with a face." If something bad comes out, you will drop out of school. ”

"And how often do you come back?" Zhang Meihua asked

"Every two weeks. When the final exam was approaching, I came back once a month. ”

"No, come back every week and help the family."

"Mom and Dad, let's do it, you let me live in the school, and if you don't give me food money, you won't give it to me, I'll figure it out myself. It's just not shameful and doesn't break the law. ”

Li Zhuang has always felt that his daughter's study is purely expensive, if it weren't for his daughter's good academic performance, how much would he have a bright face among the villagers, plus there is a scholarship every year to give his son as pocket money, he would have forced his daughter to drop out of school and go home to do farm work. It's always good to have one more person to earn money, and you have to prepare money for your son to go to college and money for a daughter-in-law. What he hasn't said is that he didn't plan to let his daughter go to high school, and after graduating from junior high school, he would do farm work for half a year, and when he was 16 years old, he would go out to work with his fellow villagers and mail his salary back, so that he could earn more than the fish pond ducks at home.

Late at night, Li Xiaoli was lying on the bed, and her mood was not very excited. The problem of food money was expected by her, and she calculated in her heart: the private money she had saved over the years was 600, which was enough for food and other expenses in the first semester, and then she would find a way in the second semester, there would always be a way, yes, don't give up, you can't despair, there will always be a way. At the same time, she can also feel to some extent that even if she is admitted to a key high school, the tuition fee will be a big problem. She had already checked and asked, the tuition fee for a year in the county high school was 600 yuan, the accommodation fee was 300 yuan, the food fee was at least 300 yuan per month, and the other miscellaneous things were calculated, and at least 3,000 yuan a year had to be prepared. She thought, if there is no other way, then continue to strive for a scholarship, and the top five in the county are all in the first middle school. The first place is 5000, the second place is 3000, the third place is 2000, the fourth place is 1000, and the fifth place is 800. That is, you must get the top two, otherwise you will starve to death as a hero. As soon as she thought of this, she felt that time was precious, and she wanted to study hard and gain a greater sense of security.
