Chapter 12: Patriarchal Mom (12)
"Zhao Di, come over to Mom." Yin Yin beckoned to her.
The little girl walked in and anxiously defended herself: "Mom, I didn't steal money, I'm not a thief." Her words were full of grievances, and her eyes were full of expectation, it didn't matter if others didn't believe her, she hoped that her mother would believe her.
Yin Yin scooped her into her arms, and gently stroked her slightly yellowed and dry hair due to malnutrition: "Zhaodi, you are your mother's daughter, your mother believes in you, you are not a thief." ”
"Really?" The little girl's eyes lit up at once.
"Really."
Yin Yin looked sideways at her and asked gently, "Can Zhaodi tell her mother, how can you have that money?" ”
At the mention of the money, the little girl's mood was visibly low, and her eyelashes drooped slightly.
"Can't you say that? If Zhao Di really doesn't want to say it, her mother won't force you. "Everyone has a little secret in their hearts, even in the face of children, Yin Yin doesn't want to get to the bottom of it.
"I picked up the bottle in exchange." Jiang Zhaodi whispered, she raised her head, her apricot eyes were misty, and her tone was full of expectation, "I want to save money, I want to go to middle school, Mom, I like to read." ”
Yin Yin and Teacher Lin were stunned for a moment, they never thought that the money was exchanged for picking up bottles.
Yin Yin endured the choking in his throat and asked softly, "Since when?" ”
Jiang Zhaodi was nervous and grabbed her white-washed skirt with her little hands, and said in a low voice: "Since the beginning of last semester, I, I have been picking up for half an hour every day after school, and sometimes I get up early in the morning. ”
"Mom, I know that our family is poor, but I really like to study, and I can save my own tuition. I've saved one hundred and twenty-eight pieces and six cents. The little girl's eyes were red, even when she was bullied by Lin Rourou just now and ridiculed by the rest of the class, she didn't cry, when it came to reading, her tears rolled down like crystal droplets, burning Yin Yin's heart sour.
Jiang Zhaodi has been mentally preparing recently, how to tell her mother about her continuing to study, but she has not made up her mind, she is afraid of rejection, she wants to save more money, more, maybe her mother can let her continue to study for the sake of not having to pay tuition.
Teacher Lin on the side also gently agreed: "Zhao Di's mother, Zhao Di's grades are very good, every exam is the first time in the class, and there is no problem for her to go to the No. 1 Affiliated Middle School in S City." Our teachers also hope that she will continue to read. ”
"You stupid boy." Yin Yin gently wiped the tears on her face with her fingertips, "Mom knows that my family is smart, and I originally planned to let you continue to study, the family is poor, but you like to read, then study, I have discussed with your father, let him come back to do some small business, make more money, you don't have to pick up bottles, just study hard." ”
"Really?" The little girl's eyes were misty, but they were brighter than ever.
"Really."
The little girl was reassured, and suddenly threw herself into Yin Yin's arms happily: "Mom, I love you so much." ”
Yin Yin hugged the little girl in her arms tightly, a shallow smile appeared at the corner of her lips, and she couldn't hide the doting in her eyes.
Teacher Lin also breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that parents support their children's reading, which is the happiest thing for their teachers.
After discussing the issue of the child's schooling, Yin Yin remembered another thing, and his face became serious.
