Chapter 56: It's Worth the Money
"I'm so incompetent, Xiao Ji's childhood has lost too much joy, how can I deprive Xiao Ji of his singing voice and partners because of money?" Zhao Yunfei blamed himself fiercely in his heart, and at this time he wanted to beat himself a few times. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Leaving the spoon in his hand to scoop porridge, he hurried into the house, and took out the iron box from the chimney, which contained more than 100 yuan, which was part of the disaster relief money.
These days, he also made some money in the brick factory, and gathered all the money he could find at home, and finally even scraped together one yuan, five cents, one cent, and a few cents of steel hammers, which was just enough for two hundred and fifty yuan—enough to pay for a month's kindergarten tuition.
Early the next morning, Zhao Yunfei led Xiao Ji to the kindergarten, Chen Jing was taking the children to do exercises outside, seeing Zhao Yunfei and Xiao Ji coming over, Chen Jing was slightly surprised, although she only met Zhao Yunfei yesterday, but in this short contact, she could feel that Zhao Yunfei is a person with strong self-esteem, according to his character, he will definitely not agree to Xiao Ji to play in the kindergarten......
"Could it be ......" Chen Jing guessed in her heart and stopped doing the exercises.
Zhao Yunfei and Xiao Ji had already walked to the gate of the fence, and Zhao Yunfei shouted through the fence, "Teacher Chen......"
Chen Jing walked over and opened the door, bent down and smiled and said to Xiao Ji, "Xiao Ji, do you miss Teacher Chen?" At the moment when she bent over, the neckline showed an amazingly full hilly ravine.
Xiao Ji took Zhao Yunfei's hand, tilted his head against Zhao Yunfei, a little shy, and then nodded very seriously and said, "Yes!"
After saying hello, Zhao Yunfei told the purpose of their brother and sister coming to the kindergarten.
"Welcome, welcome to Xiao Ji into the park!" Chen Jing straightened up, and while expressing her welcome, the worry about the situation of Zhao Yunfei's brothers and sisters in her heart weakened a lot.
When he goes to kindergarten, he needs to pay 250 yuan in tuition and miscellaneous fees every month, and he can send his sister to kindergarten, which shows that Zhao Yunfei has a stable source of income......
Chen Jing suddenly changed her mind and thought: "How did I forget, in this situation like their brother and sister, they must be considered low-income households, and the low premiums they receive are enough for their brothers and sisters to live." ”
However, what Chen Jing didn't know was that Zhao Yunfei's brothers and sisters had never received any subsistence allowance, and they didn't even know what the subsistence allowance was, and later got a poverty relief quota under the care of Dong Tao, the secretary of Wulongshan Town, and was also given to Xu Xianglin's family by Zhao Yunfei.
Chen Jing led the way in front, walked into the seven board rooms facing north and south, and led Zhao Yunfei and Xiao Ji straight to the principal's office.
A white and chubby woman in her thirties was sitting behind a desk, she was the director of the kindergarten, because they were all from the same village, Zhao Yunfei also knew her, in terms of seniority, the woman was a generation older than Zhao Yunfei, Zhao Yunfei opened his mouth and shouted: "Auntie!"
"Yo, this is not the old Zhao family'...... That ......" The head of the garden was full of smiles, although he knew that Zhao Yunfei belonged to the old Zhao family, but he couldn't call his name.
In this regard, Zhao Yunfei didn't mind and said: "My name is Yunfei, and this is my sister Xiaoji. ”
"Oh, Yunfei, yes, I remembered, it's called Yunfei...... What are you?" said the headmaster, as he suddenly realized.
Chen Jing said beside her: "It's for Xiao Ji to go through the admission procedures." ”
Hearing this, the director of the kindergarten suddenly smiled brighter than "can't die flowers", and hurriedly said: "Welcome, welcome, Xiao Ji is four years old, right? As she spoke, she took out a notebook and registered Xiao Ji's name, age and other information, and then she took out a receipt book and said without raising her head: "The tuition and miscellaneous fees are two hundred and fifty yuan per month!"
Zhao Yunfei listened, took out a small cloth bag from his pocket and put it on the desk.
Seeing this bulging little cloth bag, the look on the principal's face paused obviously, although there was still a smile on his face, but the smile was already a little unnatural.
Chen Jing watched from the side, and also had some doubts in his heart, how could two hundred and fifty yuan, that is, a few banknotes, be wrapped into such a big bag?
As Zhao Yunfei opened the cloth bag, there was a soft sound, and the director and Chen Jing were immediately stunned.
Two hundred and fifty yuan, only three banknotes, and the money brought by Zhao Yunfei is varied, denominations of five cents and one cent, banknotes and coins, five, two, and one cents, there are almost ten categories.
The director looked at the money, the smile on his face was very unnatural, and he stammered a little and said, "This money, this money, ......"
Zhao Yunfei thought she meant to ask how much money there was, so she said, "It's exactly two hundred and five, and one point is not a lot." ”
The director knew that Zhao Yunfei had misunderstood, and explained: "I didn't mean that, I also understand the situation of your family, if the money is not available for the time being...... Tuition and fees can be paid later, and you have ...... money How can I take you. ”
Chen Jing's feelings at this time were quite complicated, at first she thought that Zhao Yunfei's brothers and sisters had a subsistence allowance, but now looking at this situation, it doesn't seem like they have a subsistence allowance......
Chen Jing herself is a rural person, and she is very familiar with the situation in rural areas, and she also knows that the people who can really receive the subsistence allowance are not necessarily the poorest households.
Chen Jing put his hand into his pocket and wanted to take the money out, but suddenly he thought about it, it seemed a little inappropriate for him to do this, although Zhao Yunfei was not very old, but from his eyes, he could see that his self-esteem should be extremely strong, and he would definitely not agree to take out the money so recklessly......
"It seems that a home visit is necessary. Chen Jing thought to herself.
Although the director said that it was not easy to accept the money, she still accepted the money at Zhao Yunfei's insistence.
After paying the money, Xiao Ji officially became a kindergarten child.
After coming out of kindergarten, Zhao Yunfei was not in a hurry to go home, he quietly hid behind a telephone pole on the corner of the street, silently watching his sister who was playing happily in the kindergarten, and his eyes gradually became a little moist.
Ms. Chen Jing organized the children and then led them to sing the kindergarten song composed by herself:
"I Have a Dream"
I have a dream,
There is a rainbow in the dream,
Hong'er is divided into five colors,
red-orange-blue-green-blue,
I sit on the rainbow,
Singing and spreading friendship,
Let love fill the world,
There is peace in the world;
------------
I have a dream,
Gently tell the wind,
The wind carries me to dream,
Flying over the mountains,
Sprinkle a song all the way,
Harvest a few amorous,
Let love fill the world,
Green fields become eternity.
......
Zhao Yunfei, who was hiding outside the kindergarten, finally heard the full version of the song, and the sweet singing voice came out of the kindergarten and floated into the depths of the blue sky.
Zhao Yunfei pursed his lips, clenched his fists hard, and secretly shouted in his heart: "Earn money, work hard to earn money, just for this singing......" At this time, he was in a turbulent mood, and his body seemed to be full of inexhaustible strength.
The middle school in the town will start tomorrow, if you follow Han Tuo, you won't exercise today, have a good day of rest, and play for a day, but Zhao Yunfei said that he didn't agree, "If you don't practice for a day, school will start tomorrow, and there will be even less time, if you don't hurry up, you won't even be able to pass the selection competition in the village, and you still want to get a ranking in the Five Dragons Competition......?"
Han Tuo didn't have any opinions, he listened to Zhao Yunfei since he was a child, and when he saw Zhao Yunfei insisting, he didn't dare to say anything, and practiced like rain.
A pure girl of Li Lanfang's age, it is when her mind is full of fantasies, plus she has read some romance novels, she will have some talent, these days she has been thinking hard, and she has made some progress, and initially wrote a lyric, as for composition, she doesn't have such a big ability, even if she wants to break her head, she can't think of it, so she has to apply the tunes of other pop songs first, this way is not forbidden in the Five Phoenix Competition, after all, there are original factors in it, but when grading, it is better than in the words, The songs are all original works, and the level is lower.
When Han Tuo learned that Li Lanfang had written the lyrics, he was curious, and wanted to have a sneak peek, so he begged Li Lanfang with a salivating face, but was very readily rejected by this girl, and Han Tuo's begging for a long time didn't work, so he sent her to kneel.
Zhao Yunfei looked at Han Tuo's pitiful appearance from the side, and also felt funny, and said to Li Lanfang: "What's wrong with you just showing ......Han Tuo first?
Li Lanfang has never had any sympathy for Han Tuo, pouted, and said, "If he can hold back his problem, then the whole earth will be a big mental hospital!" After speaking, he shook his little buttocks and left.
Zhao Yunfei spread his hands to Han Tuo, saying that he could not do anything.
When Han Tuo saw Li Lanfang leaving, his courage immediately came up, with a look of disdain on his face, and said: "Look at her spirit, didn't she just write a broken lyric......?
Zhao Yunfei gave Han Tuo a look, which means that you should close your mouth, sure enough, before Han Tuo finished speaking, Li Lanfang killed a horse pistol, rushed straight to Han Tuo with her small chest, and scared Han Tuo into the pigsty in two steps, and didn't dare to come out for a long time......
At dusk, Zhao Yunfei boiled the porridge and stood at the gate looking at the direction of the alley - Xiaoji, school is about to end!
In a remote mountain village like this, children do not need to be picked up or dropped off by adults to go to school in the village.
This feeling of waiting for Xiao Ji to go home made Zhao Yunfei feel an inexplicable and expectant sense of happiness in his heart, and when the little figure appeared at the mouth of the alley, a smile involuntarily climbed up the corner of Zhao Yunfei's mouth.
Xiao Hei recognized Xiao Ji in the distance, and ran up like a happy child, Xiao Ji didn't see Xiao Hei all day, and he missed it very much, hugged Xiao Hei's neck and made love for a while, looked up and saw his brother standing at the door, smiling, and running over with Xiao Hei.
A small square table has been set up under the big apricot tree, and the contents of the table are the same as usual, a small bowl of pickled vegetables and two bowls of stick porridge.
Xiao Ji was eating porridge, and his mouth kept talking, who did she know today, who gave her a piece of candy, what nursery rhyme did the teacher teach, and rewarded her with a little red flower......
Looking at his sister's smiling face full of excitement and happiness, Zhao Yunfei obviously felt that his sister had become much more cheerful, and he secretly said in his heart: "The two hundred and fifty yuan is worth it!"
