Chapter Twenty-Four: Good Things Are Coming, School Starts Soon
"Grandma, we're leaving, I'll come back to see you when I have time." After staying at her grandmother's house for two days, Qiuhua finally said goodbye.
"Lan, wait a minute." Grandma walked towards Zhang Lan on crutches, although the pace was not big. She walked up to Zhang Lan, took out a small cloth bag, opened it, and saw that there were only some crumpled banknotes, one yuan, five yuan, and a few hundred, scattered and scattered.
Grandma opened her mouth and said, "Ah Lan, I know that your life is not easy, and I still have some savings, you can take it." Zhang Lan listened, but shook her head and said, "Mom, this can't be done, how can you do it every day?" Seeing her in such a situation, Zhang Lan couldn't bear to take her money.
"That's it, these big money for you, I keep the small money, we also have a vegetable garden, a few days ago, the city, and got me a few chickens, this chicken ate our farmhouse meal, it won't take long to grow up, and then there will be eggs, what are you afraid of."
Zhang Lan naturally knew that this was her mother's statement, but she still insisted on not letting go. Grandma said a little angrily: "Okay, this money is not for you, I am afraid that you will starve my grandson." Then she forcibly stuffed the money into Zhang Lan's pocket, turned around and left.
It wasn't until the sound of "da-da" disappeared in the house that Zhang Lan left with Qiuhua, and on the way, her mother said to Qiuhua: "Andy, you will have a chance in the future, but you can't forget your grandmother, you know?" Qiuhua nodded heavily.
In the evening, there was a "da-da" sound in the house again, and the old man stood at the door, looking at the sunset on the horizon, and muttered to himself: "The sunset is good, the sunset is good."
The tuition fee can be considered to be complete, and the next thing is the problem of living expenses, when Zhang Lan was about to go to the neighborhood to borrow something, there was a knock on the door, Qiuhua opened the door and saw that it was his teacher Lin Yueru.
"Hello teacher!" Qiuhua bowed politely. Lin Yueru nodded with a smile, and then asked, "Is your mother at home?" "Oh, it's Mr. Lin, sit down, sit down, my Xiaohua is taken care of by you." Zhang Lan had already heard the voice and hurriedly greeted her.
Lin Yueru stayed at Qiuhua's house for a while, and said that there were other classmates who wanted to visit home, so she proposed to leave first, before leaving, she put an envelope on the table, it looked thick, Qiuhua was puzzled, Lin Yueru explained with a smile: "Oh, don't get me wrong, this is your scholarship this year, this time the exam is good, the tenth in the grade, continue to keep it, you know?" Qiuhua nodded.
After Mr. Lin left, my mother opened the envelope and saw that there was 1,000 yuan, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised. Qiuhua has not been in the top ten before, of course I don't know how much the bonus is, he just thinks that the school attaches importance to education, and vows to take a better ranking next time, Qiuhua doesn't want to borrow money from others anymore, he deeply understands the phrase "asking for someone is like swallowing a three-foot sword" at this moment.
Before going to bed at night, a message popped up on Qiuhua's mobile phone, and when he opened it, it turned out to be a text message from the bank, prompting him to deposit 10,000 yuan.
When Qiuhua was still stunned, the phone rang, and when Qiuhua heard it, the other party hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Qiuhua Xiaoyou, I'm Zhou Liwen, the host of the literary competition."
Subsequently, from his mouth, Qiuhua learned that the original bonus payment was also under the control of Zhou Liwen, he had a car accident a few days ago and had been on the hospital bed, so it was delayed, and the people on the website were also more pedantic, without his signature, they didn't dare to issue bonuses privately, so it was delayed until now.
Although Qiu Hua had a little complaint in his heart before, it has dissipated at this moment, Zhou Liwen is now lying on the hospital bed, but he still remembers his own affairs, although it is his duty, this still makes Qiu Hua moved.
This night was Qiuhua's favorite rainy night, and he practiced calligraphy for a while, and then fell asleep......
A few days before the start of school, Qiuhua and Tian Jingru gathered in this noodle restaurant again and ordered two large bowls of beef noodles.
"Qiuhua, is the imperial capital fun? I forgot to ask you all the time. Tian Jingru asked curiously. It's not fun, I feel that the human touch is still less, and I'm not used to it. Qiuhua shook his head and said.
"By the way, by the way, who are the top three in that competition you went to? Are there any students? Tell me about it. Tian Jingru ate a beef ball as she spoke, her little face was chubby, like a goldfish.
When Qiuhua saw it, she couldn't help pinching her little face, and said with a smile: "This year, the third-class person seems to be a Taoist priest, anyway, it feels quite fairy-like, and there are two people in the second-class, one is called Ao Long, I heard Jingqiu talk about him as if he is the author of a very famous novel."
"Through the Legend of Wonder series." Tian Jingru put on an expression that I knew everything. Could it be that a girl like Tian Jingru also loves this kind of fighting and killing novels, Qiu Hua couldn't help but be very curious.
Seeing his suspicious face, Tian Jingru explained: "Ha, there were a lot of boys in our class who watched this before." That's right, if a girl like Tian Jingru is allowed to wear battle armor, how many enemies will be willing to hurt such a lovely person?
Having said that, it's no wonder that when I first heard the name Ao Long, I was a little familiar, it turned out that the novel of Mao Xian and Zhao Wuchai in the dormitory a while ago was written by him.
"And what about a second place?" Tian Jingru seemed to be interested. "There's another one, it's Shi Yingying from Huiqing City, I feel..."
Before Qiuhua's words were finished, Tian Jingru shouted excitedly: "What, is it Shi Yingying?" This provoked the surrounding diners to turn their eyes on.
Tian Jingru stuck out her tongue, sat down with a red face, and continued: "If Huiqing City is a word, then I think it should be that girl writer, let me tell you, Qiuhua, I really like her very, very much, her novels are really good." By the way, how does she look? Is it good-looking? ”
"Don't you like her very much? You don't even know what she looks like, huh? Qiu Hua was puzzled. Tian Jingru had to say truthfully: "Ha, she is mysterious, it seems that she has works in junior high school, but well, there is not much information about her on the Internet, I only know that she is from Huiqing, but well, how can she be the second place, hum!" That judge must have been 10,000 degrees short-sighted. ”
Qiuhua listened to her words, she was angry and funny, is her writing so unfavorable? However, Shi Yingying's attitude on that day also understood, a person who has always accepted roses, if you give her a lilac flower, although it has a fragrance, she will still be unhappy.
Qiuhua felt that he was really lucky, this time the opponent was really very strong, and this time he was able to stand out, and he really used all the luck that was useless before. Maybe it's really like Tian Jingru said, this time the judges may really be 10,000 degrees of myopia.
"By the way, who is the number one? Do you have his signature? Tian Jingru calmed down and continued to ask. Qiuhua smiled and said, "His name is 'Hehe', autograph, you stretch out your hand."
"Humph! If you don't say it, you won't say it, so don't you? Besides, what are you reaching for? You think you're first-class? ”
Tian Jingru glanced at him, and then said, "Comrade Qiuhua, how did I find that you are getting more and more cheeky now?"
Qiuhua didn't look at her either, took care of herself and stuffed a beef ball into her mouth, and then said while eating: "Thick-skinned, eat enough; Thin-skinned and unable to eat. ”
