Chapter 8: A Virtuous Young Woman
When the father and son entered the school gate, they found four police cars parked in the square in front of the school, and many uniformed public security officers patrolling. Zhicheng and his father followed the students and parents who came to report to the payment hall on the ground floor of the office building. As soon as you enter it, you will be greeted by a cool breeze, refreshing and pleasant, as if you are two worlds compared to the scorching heat outside. The marble floor beneath your feet is smooth enough to reflect the shadow of a person, and the vertical air conditioner on the inside of the double-glazed door is spewing out a cool breeze.
The whole hall was crowded with students and parents who came to register, and the collection staff was busy, and the father and son who were stabbing in a large stack of hundred-yuan bills couldn't open their eyes. It was the first time they saw so much money, and the old man Dejian clenched the money pocket in his arms that was three layers inside and three layers outside, and he didn't dare to take it out at this time. It's not that I'm afraid of being snatched away, but I'm afraid of being embarrassed for my son. Because other parents took out all the hundred-dollar bills, and the five of the ten dollars in the bag of money in their arms, even one coin had fifteen or sixteen. This made him embarrassed to take it out. Alas, Wang Dejian was full of emotion for a while, and he didn't know what to do.
Zhicheng seemed to see his father's thoughts, so he stepped forward to comfort him and said, "Dad, we are not in a hurry, when others finish handing it over, it will not be too late for us to hand it over!" ”
However, the father and son attracted the attention of the security guards at the door, because the payment was changed one after another, and only the father and son watched left and right in the crowd. After a while, a security guard came to the father and son and urged them to hurry up and handle the payment process, and the old man Dejian was embarrassed and hurriedly smiled and agreed.
The father and son had no choice but to come to the counter, and the old man opened the house with a trembling hand. Then stacks were passed into the glass window, and Zhicheng also handed the admission notice and admission ticket in his hand to the staff member along with his father's trembling hand.
They were paid by a young and charming young woman, who looked no more than twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing a white shirt with lace without sleeves, and her breasts were very high. The two smooth bare arms are white and plump, and the fingernails are painted with red Kodan, which is particularly delicate. At first, the old man of Dejian was afraid that she would not want to count it, after all, there were several pieces of this old man, and they were dirty.
Zhicheng was also worried that she would cast disdainful glances at herself and her father, but to their surprise, when this beautiful lady received this large pile of "gross tickets", she was extremely excited. Not only did he not dislike it, but he added a soft and kind smile to them.
Zhicheng could see that there was no hint of discrimination in that smile, but it contained understanding, support and respect. There was even a hint of subtle touching. Looking at the young woman's kind and friendly smile, at this moment, the hearts of both father and son melted.
At that moment, Zhicheng felt that this young woman was the most beautiful woman in the world. She is simply a "virgin". The more I look at it, the more I feel that she is beautiful, it is a kind of beauty that is pleasing to the eye, and it is also an immortal beauty. When the lady had carefully counted all the money, she added it up again. Then he competently filled out a series of receipts and handed them to the father and son from the window, still smiling kindly: "Uncle, please take it!" ”
The old man Dejian hurriedly took it with both hands and nodded gratefully at her in thanks. I can't even wait to invite her to a meal, if nothing else, for her smile, the smile that makes their father and son infinitely warm and affectionate.
Zhicheng carefully packed the slips in his hand, and then walked out of the hall with his father. The father and son had barely taken a few steps down the stairs when they heard a crisp and pleasant call behind them. The father and son looked at each other and stopped, only to see a young and beautiful lady walking towards them with a smile. I wonder if the lady was calling them. Zhicheng was also a little puzzled, they had no acquaintances in Hechang City, where they had no relatives! It can't be that she recognized the wrong person!
Zhicheng looked at this elegant lady carefully, and suddenly realized that she was the young woman who was sitting in the hall just now to handle the payment procedures for them. Maybe they forgot something, or maybe there was a mistake with the money. Zhicheng couldn't think of anything she was looking for them for a while.
Looking at the lady who was approaching step by step, Wang Dejian also recognized it, but he didn't know what to say. When the young woman came to the two of them, she looked at the embarrassment of father and son, and smiled sweetly. Then he stroked his soft hair and explained gently: "Oh, uncle, that's right, when I was going through the payment procedures for you just now, I saw that you paid some change, and even involved some old one-yuan coins. From this, I suspect that your family may be poorer and more struggling. Otherwise, you will generally not take so much change to pay for tuition. Therefore, I would like to remind you that if you are really having a difficult life, then you can apply to the school for poverty. At that time, if your situation is true, the school will deal with it according to the level of poor students, and it may be difficult to waive all of them, but I think it will not be a problem to reduce some of your tuition fees. To tell you the truth, I really couldn't bear to accept your money just now, because I also came from the countryside, and I understand the hardships of the countryside. If I'm not mistaken, you may have paid all the money for this tuition! ”
The old man Dejian didn't expect her to speak to her heart in one sentence, how could she not hit the light, the home was already empty. Both father and son were moved to tears by the kind lady in front of them. I didn't know what to do when I was excited, and I couldn't wait to kowtow to her.
"Oh, uncle, you don't have to get excited! So be it! When you go back, ask the village committee to give you a certificate. Write down the situation at home truthfully and submit it to the school, and the school will verify the situation. If you are eligible for the subsidy, you will be offered a waiver of some fees. You hand over the certificate to the sixth floor of the office building, where there is a department dedicated to poor students. ”
"Oops! Thank you so much. The old man Wang Dejian was so excited that he didn't know what to say, and he didn't even know how to call the young woman in front of him. After thinking about it, they couldn't come up with a suitable title, and they came out to tell them about it, which really made the father and son very grateful.
"Oh, uncle, you don't have to be polite! I know you're not having a hard time...... Young man! When school starts, you must study hard, do you hear? Don't let down your parents' good intentions, oh! Strive to be admitted to your dream university in one fell swoop after three years. The young woman patted Zhicheng's shoulder lovingly, and then said with a smile: "Okay, let's do it first!" I'm pretty busy......" she smiled and waved at the father and son before walking gracefully towards the office building......
Zhicheng and his father watched the kind lady enter the hall before they withdrew their gaze. When the father and son came to a kitchen window on the west side of the garden, they saw many students gathered around to read the "Notice of the start of school." ”
Zhicheng tiptoed to read the contents of the notice on tiptoe on the periphery, and learned that the start time of school was August 18 and August 19, the lunar calendar was July 22 and July 23, and August 20 to August 29 was a ten-day military training time.
The old man of Dejian repeatedly asked his son to read the notice carefully and not forget anything. He stepped aside and lifted the corner of his shirt to wipe the sweat from his face, and many girls cast strange glances at this earthy farmer. Most of them are just a glance of disgust, and they don't bother to look at a second look.
Zhicheng looked at those foreign girls looking at his father with such mean eyes. Sad and sad for a while, he came to his father and whispered, "Dad, let's go!" ”
"Alas! Good! Remember when school started? The old man asked his son again uneasily.
"Remember, Dad." Zhicheng looked at the old father in front of him and felt that his nose was sour.
"Okay, nothing else, let's walk slowly!" The old man smiled kindly at his son, and asked again, "Son! Are you hungry? If you're hungry, we'll have a meal and then leave......" In fact, he only had two dollars of coins left on him. This was still stuffed to him by his wife when he came, asking him to buy a bowl of noodles for his son.
Zhizheng's eyes were full of tears, and he lowered his head and choked up, "Dad, I'm not hungry at all!" After speaking, he pushed the head of the bicycle and walked forward, and the tears flowed down without taking two steps.
The old man also understood his son's thoughts, and no longer reluctantly did anything, so he pushed the bicycle he borrowed from a neighbor under the willow tree and followed his son towards the school gate, only to see hundreds of cars of all kinds parked at the school gate. It seems that parents accompany their children to pay, and at this time, the old man of Dejian feels even more that he is an incompetent father. Not to mention that he has no power or power, and he doesn't even have a relative who is a little capable, in this era of fighting for his father, this is indeed a great sadness.
