Chapter 30: The Fourth Uncle

On the first day, Li Changjian and Wang Mingtang sat from 8:30 in the morning to 5 in the afternoon, and even the lunch was packed from the small restaurant at the school gate.

Isn't it okay to use the name of Ji Jiaqi, the top student in the college entrance examination, to hype?

Li Changjian was a little sad, if he couldn't recruit enough students, then even if he ran this tutorial class, he might not be able to make money, if there were few students, the tuition fees charged would be less, and he might not be able to offset his costs at that time.

"Changjian, don't be discouraged, today is only the first day, and today is Thursday, many parents may not be available, people have to go to work, maybe it will be better in two days." It's still a small restaurant where he drank last night, Wang Mingtang comforted Li Changjian, in today's cold registration scene, Wang Mingtang has no hope for Li Changjian's tutoring class, he was not optimistic that Li Changjian could succeed in this tutoring class, and today's situation also shows that his opinion is correct, but Wang Mingtang will not be able to hit Li Changjian hard, so he can only comfort him with his mouth, he knows that Li Changjian wants to make money, as a buddy, he can only encourage at this time.

"You're right, it's only the first day, and it's just getting started." Li Changjian nodded, talking about it, he was a little depressed in his heart, Li Changjian was thinking about using the name of Ji Jiaqi, the top student in the college entrance examination, to achieve the purpose of hype and propaganda, whether it would not work, it shouldn't be, aren't parents quite superstitious?

"Changjian, I'll come to help you tomorrow, maybe there will be more people tomorrow." Wang Mingtang said with a smile.

"Forget it, I won't need it tomorrow, if it's like you said, it will be more crowded from Saturday the day after tomorrow, and I'll be alone tomorrow, and you'll come back the day after tomorrow." Li Changjian shook his head and said.

"It's okay, I'll come over on time the day after tomorrow." Wang Mingtang nodded.

The two drank wine one by one, and did not leave the small restaurant until eight o'clock in the evening, Wang Mingtang still led the bicycle and Li Changjian to the door of his house, and then rode his mountain bike away.

Li Changjian walked straight into the commissary at home, looking at the lonely figure of his mother under the light, Li Changjian's heart was blocked for no reason, his family is broken, there is no father at home, this family is not just as simple as missing a family affection, but the lack of soul makes this home not like home.

When Li Changjian thought that after he went to college, his mother would be the only one left at home, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Xiazhou is next door to Sanjiang City, in terms of geographical location, the two cities are next to each other, and there is a direct shuttle bus to Xiazhou in the county seat, which is only a two-hour drive, and it is very convenient to come back.

"Changjian, you often stay away from home all day this holiday, why are you going?" Zhang Xinlan saw her son and asked.

"Mom, I'm busy with business, don't worry, your son won't do bad things." Li Changjian said with a smile, in front of his mother, his role has always been a son, he has been a human being in two lives, even if he has more vicissitudes now, he is still more willing to show his childlike side in front of his mother.

"No, it's fine, but if it's okay during the holidays, you can just watch the store at home, and I plan to see if there is anything I can do in these two months, go and do some short-term work for people, and make more money." Zhang Xinlan said, her son did well in the college entrance examination this time, Zhang Xinlan was pleasantly surprised when she learned the results, she didn't expect her son to be so competitive, but after the joy, she returned to calm, and Zhang Xinlan began to worry again.

There is a lot of money for college tuition and living expenses, for many families, maybe this money is nothing, but for their family, this is a lot of money, although the family now has 20,000 savings, enough to meet the needs of the moment, but Zhang Xinlan still has to find a way to make more money, it is difficult to save money, but it is easy to spend it, she knows that her son has applied for Xiazhou University, not to mention whether he can be admitted, Zhang Xinlan has heard that the tuition fee for a year in college is five or six thousand yuan, and some are more, After Zhang Xinlan learned of her son's grades, she has begun to worry about her son's tuition and living expenses for four years of college.

"Mom, don't go out to find a job, just look at the store at home, it's easier, I don't want you to go out and do all the hard work." Li Changjian shook his head and said.

"Silly boy, where did you get the money if you don't work hard or tired, besides, your mother has no culture, except for hard work, people can still find me to sit in the office." Zhang Xinlan smiled slightly, people of their generation grew up with hardships when they were young, and they didn't think it was a big deal to endure hardships, but for their son, Zhang Xinlan didn't want her son to suffer too much, especially after her son got good results in the college entrance examination, Zhang Xinlan became more determined in her heart to cultivate her son into an adult, which is also her promise to her husband, no matter how hard she is, she can't suffer her son.

"Mom, you can't make much money when you go out to work part-time, and our family doesn't lack so much money no matter how short of it."

"You stupid boy, what are you talking about, the money is saved little by little, if you think like you, then drink the northwest wind sooner or later." Zhang Xinlan said angrily.

"Mom, I know you're worried about my college tuition, you don't have to worry about this, I'll take care of the tuition and living expenses for four years of college, you, just live a good life." Li Changjian said.

"Do it yourself? You kid, how much alcohol did you drink at night, talk drunk, and drink less in the future. Zhang Xinlan frowned.

"Mom, there are some things I haven't told you, I have actually earned some money in the past few months, enough for the tuition of my freshman year, and as for the future, I believe I can earn it myself." Li Changjian said with a smile, he has been patronizing himself for the past few months, but he has not yet sat down to talk about himself to his mother. In fact, his mother knew that he was selling shoes on the Internet, after all, he ran to the county to send shoes all day long, and his mother also saw it, it was impossible not to ask him what he was doing, Li Changjian had answered a few words briefly, but his mother obviously didn't know anything about what an online store was, and he didn't even know anything about the Internet, so he didn't pay too much attention to his affairs, but just told him not to leave his studies behind, sometimes he watched him run the county seat diligently, and stopped him from saying don't sell any shoes on the computer, concentrate on studying.

Looking at his mother's face with a little sadness, Li Changjian suddenly blamed himself, he can make money and help the family share the pressure, in fact, he should have told his mother early, although he didn't deliberately hide it before, he just felt that his mother didn't ask, he didn't say that he tried to do what he should do, but he ignored his mother's heart that he had been working hard for this family.

It's time to surprise his mother, Li Changjian looked at his mother and sighed in his heart, although he didn't make much money, but in his mother's eyes, maybe he was happier that he was sensible, rather than how much money he made.

Li Changjian was about to tell his mother that he now had 10,000 yuan on hand, which was enough for his freshman tuition and living expenses after the start of school.

"Changjian, I did well in the college entrance examination, and I have won the gas for our old Li family." Li Hongwen praised as soon as he entered the door.

"Fourth uncle, it's not very good, it's so-so, don't you know, the top student in the college entrance examination of Fuxin Middle School this year is from our class, compared with others, one in the sky and one in the ground." Li Changjian said with a smile.

"Good boy, you dare to compare with other people's college entrance examination champions, aren't you uncomfortable." Li Hongwen scolded with a smile, "It's none of our business how many scores others take, you know the roots, usually your grades have not been very good, this time you can get this score, it's amazing, I came to the day a few days ago, you are not at home, I heard my mother say that you want to apply for Xiazhou University?" ”

"Well, the volunteer has already been filled." Li Changjian nodded.

"Xiazhou University is very good, but are you sure? Two days ago, I came here to talk to you about volunteering, but you weren't there, and I've been busy with work these days, and I forgot about it when I got busy, but I didn't expect you to fill in the volunteers. Li Hongwen frowned slightly, he had just gotten off work at night, and he had a bad relationship with the number one, although he became a deputy mayor, but he was squeezed out of the town, and he couldn't get the benefits, but the hard work was often pushed on his head, Li Hongwen could only endure it, otherwise his situation would only be more difficult.

"Fourth uncle, I took the exam for a sports student at Xiazhou University, and when I got this score in the cultural score, I basically added insurance, and there is no problem in entering Xiazhou University." Li Changjian said very confidently.

"Oh? So confident? Li Hongwen raised his eyebrows, seeing that Li Changjian was so confident, he also relaxed, no matter what, Li Changjian's results in this exam are always impressive, Li Hongwen also felt very happy, glanced at Zhang Xinlan on the side, Li Hongwen said, "Xinlan, if Changjian is admitted to Xiazhou University, I will help him pay for his four-year college tuition." ”

"How can this be done, Hongwen, you have your own family, Xiaowen is also in her first year of high school this year, and she will take the college entrance examination in two years, and she will have to ask for money to study in college at that time, how can you let you pay for Changjian's tuition." Zhang Xinlan shook her head again and again.

"You don't have a lot of money, when the third brother was just arrested, I know that you have spent almost all the savings in your family, and you don't have much money in your hands now, so don't fight with me for this." Li Hongwen waved his hand, "Among the four brothers, my family conditions are better, and now that the third brother is in prison, I should help a little more." ”

Zhang Xinlan couldn't help but be silent when she heard Li Hongwen's words, when her husband was arrested for a while, in order to dredge up the relationship and see if she could save her husband from prison, she spent all the savings in her hand, but not only was the money gone, but her husband was still sentenced to a heavy sentence, and during that time she even felt that the sky was about to fall.

Li Changjian on the side also looked at Li Hongwen at this time, whether it was in the past or the present life, this fourth uncle was the person who cared about him the most among the many elders, thinking of the fourth uncle's work and career in the future, Li Changjian felt a little bitter in his heart, in this life, can he help the fourth uncle whose fate is also unsatisfactory? Is their Li family still struggling at the bottom of society?
