The discordant voice drilled into his ears, Huang Min's sharp eyes were about to pass, and the two arrogant and rude little girls shivered at the same time, pursed their mouths tightly, and honestly leaned on the back of the chair, never daring to speak again.

Unlike the tense atmosphere of the Zhao family, the Liu family is as happy as the New Year.

Returning home from school, passing by the vegetable market, Aunt Liu bought two catties of pork and two catties of leeks, and decided to make dumplings tonight, celebrate Liu 1 well, and also shock herself and Daddy Liu.

Back home, Aunt Liu and Daddy Liu were busy, they rolled up their cuffs, rolled out the skin with the dough, and chopped the meat with the stuffing, just when they were busy in the kitchen, the children also came home from school.

Liu 1 asked Aunt Liu about going to school, and Aunt Liu told Liu 1 that the teacher asked him to skip a grade. He was not very surprised, nor was he very happy, everything was calm as before, and he went into the room to read.

Liu Yan Liu Wu also did not do his homework, squatting in front of the door to play with glass balls.

Aunt Liu stretched out her head and glanced at a few children, and couldn't hide her joy, "Dad, you said that Liu 1 is so competitive!" The grades were so good, I couldn't sleep tonight. ”

"Me too!" Daddy Liu rolled the dumpling skin, rubbed his face with white flour, and after rolling it for a while, he stopped and pinched his palm, "It's too hard, it's numb." ”

Immediately, Daddy Liu showed a sincere smile, "It's good that you insisted at the beginning, otherwise Liu 1 wouldn't have been able to enter the city." Studying in Gutian Village can only be delayed. ”

Aunt Liu raised her hand to help Daddy Liu pat the dust on her face, and a happy smile overflowed the corners of her mouth and eyebrows, "You are the head of the family, isn't it your decision to go to the city?" ”

Daddy Liu and Aunt Liu raised their eyebrows in the kitchen, but Liu Yan and Liu Wu were in front of the door to watch the family.

They were playing a game of touching glass balls when they heard someone asking about their home.

"Excuse me, there is a family surnamed Liu living here, do you know where you live?"

Liu Xian followed the voice and looked over, it was a middle-aged man, carrying a small briefcase and wearing glasses, asking questions like a passer-by.

Liu Wu also heard it, lowered his head nervously, and tugged on Liu Yan's arm, "Brother? Is it the bad guy? ”

Liu Yan shook his head and whispered, "I'm observing." ”

The person being questioned waved his hand, "I'm sorry, I don't live here, you ask someone else." ”

After the middle-aged man thanked him, he walked towards Liu Yan Liu Wu, Liu Yan was very clever, and said to Liu Wu with his head down; "Keep your head down!"

The two of them continued to pretend to play with glass beads, not paying attention to the middle-aged man.

"Little friend, let me ask you something, on this street, there is a family surnamed Liu, do you know where their family is?"

Liu Xian pretended to have just heard his words, grabbed the glass beads, and raised his head, "What are you looking for them?" ”

"Oh, that's right, I'm a teacher at Sunshine High School's admissions office, and I'm here to find their Liu 1."

When Liu Xian heard that he was a teacher from the admissions office, the whole person immediately relaxed, "I'll take you there, right here." ”

Liu Yan pushed open the door of his courtyard and welcomed the teacher in, "Liu 1 is my brother." ”

After speaking, Liu Xi ran into the kitchen, "Mom and Dad! The school's admissions teacher is here! Find my brother. ”

After meeting Liu 1's parents, the teacher introduced herself, "Hello, I am a teacher from the admissions office of Sunshine School, and my surname is Lin. I heard that Liu 1 is a very good student and is a good seedling. I came here to let Liu 1 continue his studies at our Sunshine Junior High School. ”

Although they had never heard of the name of this school, Daddy Liu and his wife were still very enthusiastic and welcomed Teacher Lin into the living room, while Liu Yan was busy serving tea and pouring water.

"Teacher Lin, where is Sunshine High School you are talking about? Today we also received promotional materials from the school teachers, but we didn't see any Sunshine High School in it? ”

"That's right," Teacher Lin was a little restrained, pushed the glasses on his face, and explained to Aunt Liu, "Our school is a newly built private school, which has only been established for a few years, and its reputation is weaker than other schools. ”

As soon as she heard this, Aunt Liu immediately refused, "Teacher Lin, I'm sorry, your Sunshine School, my family won't think about it." ”

Teacher Lin persevered and continued to explain, "Don't be in a hurry to refuse me first, the leaders of our school attach great importance to it after knowing about Liu 1. I think Liu 1 is very good. The leader said that as long as Liu 1 chooses our school, not only is the fee free, but also a high scholarship is set up for Liu 1. ”

"What is a scholarship?" Daddy Liu frowned and asked if he didn't understand.

Aunt Liu hadn't heard of it either, and the two of them looked at Teacher Lin blankly, waiting for an answer.

"Scholarships are awards for outstanding students, and they are cash."

Aunt Liu was speechless, "Can you still make money going to school?" ”

"Of course, we at Sunshine High School have always had this attitude towards outstanding students. Learning well will naturally be rewarded! "Mr. Lin is very confident.

Aunt Liu kept an eye on her, she didn't agree directly, but said euphemistically: "Teacher Lin, this matter is a big deal, we still have to think about it, take a look at it more, choose more, and be responsible for the child." ”

Mr. Lin's half-open mouth was not closed, he used this method to conquer many parents, but he didn't expect to be in this family that seemed to be a rural woman, but he made himself deflated.

He didn't come back to his senses, "Okay, okay." I'm waiting for your news. ”

After two sips of water and another greeting, Mr. Lin took his leave.

Seeing Teacher Lin leaving, Aunt Liu felt that this matter could not be delayed, so she rode a bicycle and went directly to Liu Jiayue's house to find her mother-in-law, night school teacher Han Ningmei.

Han Ningmei greeted Aunt Liu warmly, "That gust of wind blew you here!" Just now, Jiayue was talking to me about her sister-in-law's goodness! ”

Aunt Liu said a few simple greetings and turned to the topic, "Teacher Han, do you know Sunshine School?" ”

"I've heard that it's a newly built private middle school. What's wrong? ”

Aunt Liu told Han Ningmei about the admissions office of Sunshine Middle School.

After Liu Jiayue and Han Ningmei heard this, they both felt that Liu 1 was too powerful.

"However, I don't recommend Liu 1 to go to this school." For Sunshine Middle School, Han Ningmei knows better, "The hardware facilities of this school are very good, but the source of students is not good. The students in it are all poor grades, but their families are in good financial conditions. The rate of students graduating from the first class last year was very ugly. Now they are doing this, most likely to find a good source of students and pay for themselves. ”

After listening to Han Ningmei's explanation, Aunt Liu suddenly brightened, "Teacher Han! Thanks to you, I just said how can I pay back the money for school? As soon as I heard it, I muttered in my heart, and I waited for me here for a long time! ”

thanked Han Ningmei, chatted with Liu Jiayue a few more words, and told her to take good care of the fetus, Aunt Liu saw that the time was not early, and it was inconvenient to affect the rest of the pregnant women, and after saying goodbye to them, she stepped on the bicycle and went home.

Aunt Liu told Daddy Liu what Teacher Han said, and both of them thought that this Sunshine School couldn't go!

"We can't let Liu 1 go to such a bad school, even if he gives me ten times the money, we have to stick to the bottom line."

Daddy Liu was very angry, he didn't expect that there would be such an operation in a school, isn't this a pit for good children? A meat bun fell into a pile of rat droppings, can it still be good?

Aunt Liu was also very angry in her heart, grabbed the enrollment materials left by Teacher Lin, and tore them to pieces.
