Seeing how Qiao Zuwang looked at his face, Li Jie couldn't help but roll his eyes.
But this is in line with his character, he is thick-skinned.
"By the way, Dad Qiao, there is one more thing I just forgot to mention. In view of the outstanding performance of 10% of classmates, the school decided to exempt 10% of classmates from tuition fees, and the school supplies he usually uses are also covered by the school."
Wen Qinghua paused and continued.
"In addition, if children like yours choose to study in Beiqiao Primary School in the future, the school will waive tuition and fees."
After hearing the previous sentence, Qiao Zuwang's eyes began to shine, and the following sentence made him even more ecstatic.
School is free?
And such good things?
Qiao Jingguaizi immediately started thinking and began to settle accounts.
The tuition fee for primary school is 5 yuan a year, and the cost of books is 2 yuan. Calculating the days, Sanli will soon reach the school age.
If it were free, Erqiang and Sanli could save more than ten yuan a year, which was equivalent to half a month's salary of his.
correct.
There is also '10%'. The tuition fee for junior high school is higher than that for primary school. You can save 20 yuan a year no matter what.
If you calculate this, wouldn't you save thirty or forty dollars a year?
For thirty or forty yuan, you can buy dozens of kilograms of pork (pork at that time was about 8-9 cents per kilogram, and it was supplied by ticket, about 2 kilograms per person per month). If you eat two taels a day, you can eat it for more than half a year.
After doing this calculation, you will have plenty of money all of a sudden!
As he thought about it, Qiao Zuwang burst into laughter. Although money was important, what made him happier was the issue of face.
Other people's children go to school to spend money, but our children go to school to earn money. How flattering is that?
"Haha, 10% of our family has a lot of potential, a lot of potential."
…
…
…
After warmly entertaining Wen Qinghua and sending him away after lunch, Qiao Zuwang wiped his mouth, left a few words and went out for a walk.
"Second Qiang, Sanli, please put away the dishes and chopsticks later. I'll go out."
Not long after Qiao Zuwang went out, news spread throughout the neighborhood.
'The eldest son of the Qiao family is a keen student. In the second half of the year, he will jump directly to the third grade of junior high school. Not only will the tuition be free, but the tuition of his younger siblings will also be free. '
As soon as the news came out, it could be said that one stone stirred up a thousand waves.
These days, who has ever seen someone not only free of charge to go to school, but also making money?
For a time, the streets and alleys resounded with praises.
"Brother Qiao, your family is 10% promising."
Aunt Wu, the neighbor, sighed suddenly as she spoke and wiped the corners of her eyes with her hand.
"It's a pity that the eldest sister didn't get to see this day."
Hearing Aunt Wu's emotion, Qiao Zuwang looked startled. He was heartless, but he was not reckless.
In an instant, because of this sentence, his good mood disappeared in an instant. After more than ten years of marriage, his wife passed away suddenly. It was impossible to say that he was not sad.
'Yes, Shufen usually likes the boss the most. If she were still alive, she might be very happy now. '
"well."
Another neighbor on the side, seeing the flash of sadness on Qiao Zuwang's face, also sighed and comforted him.
"Old Qiao, you must always look forward in life. If Yi Cheng is so promising, Shufenquan will definitely be very happy if he knows someone like him."
Qiao Zuwang's emotions went away as quickly as they came, and the smile soon returned to his face.
"That's right, if Shufen knew anything underground, she would definitely be proud of Yicheng."
If there were hot searches in the 1970s, the entry "Qiao Yicheng went to school for free" would have firmly occupied the top spot in Shamao Alley's hot searches.
From time to time, people gather together in the streets and alleys to discuss how smart the 'eldest son of the Qiao family' is and how good he is at reading. Not only does it cost nothing to go to school, he also makes money for the family.
At the same time, the children who were playing wildly outside were also in bad luck. They were either yelled at or scolded by their parents, or their ears were pulled and they were fed a meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots.
It was evening before we knew it, and today's Shamao Alley was obviously much more lively than in the past. Children's cries could occasionally be heard from every house.
For example, at Aunt Wu's house next door, her two sons are in serious trouble. Aunt Wu usually looks at her children no matter how comfortable they are.
But today, it doesn't look right when viewed horizontally or vertically.
Watching her two sons innocently playing lawn mowing games in the yard, Aunt Wu became more and more angry. Finally, she couldn't help but move her hands.
"Wow...wow..."
"Mom... don't hit me. You hit my elder brother. I... I don't dare to do it anymore... I will definitely study hard in the future."
The Qiao family and the Wu family live in the same alley, and there is only a wall between them. If something happens in each other's homes, they can't hide it as long as the sound is a little louder.
At this time, in the small courtyard of the Qiao family, listening to the scolding coming from the next door, Qiao Zuwang poured a glass of Yanghe Daqu and took a sip happily.
"ah."
Comfortable!
Aunt Wu usually praised Qiao Zuwang for her two sons' academic achievements.
But what about today?
Thirty years have passed since Hedong, and thirty years have passed since Hexi. Feng Shui has taken turns, and today it’s my home.
"Yicheng, eat, eat vegetables."
After sighing with emotion, Qiao Zuwang picked up the chopsticks with a smile and put vegetables into Li Jie's bowl.
"This salted duck was bought from Chunhua Building. Eat more."
Seeing that the duck meat on the plate was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, Simei immediately became anxious, raised her rice bowl high, and shouted.
"Dad, I want to eat too."
Seeing a half-bitten piece of duck meat in the bowl, Qiao Zuwang tapped the bowl with his chopsticks.
"Don't you still have some in your bowl?"
Xiao Simei looked at the half piece of meat in her bowl, and then looked at the meat piled as high as a hill in Li Jie's bowl, and her mouth suddenly dropped.
This difference is too obvious.
Li Jie shook his head helplessly, moved his chopsticks, and distributed the duck meat in the bowl to the three little ones one after another.
"Eat."
When the three little ones saw the extra salted duck in the bowl, they immediately beamed and said in unison.
"Thank you, brother!" X3
"You...you loser."
Qiao Zuwang was furious when he saw this scene. Why did he buy ducks today?
It was to celebrate the fact that the boss made money for the family and gave Lao Qiao face.
The result was good, the duck meat that was given to the boss went into the stomachs of the three little ones in a blink of an eye.
Why do the three of them eat so well at such a young age?
Instead of giving it to them, I might as well eat it myself.
Hearing Qiao Zuwang's muttering, Li Jie glanced at him sideways. What kind of temper did Qiao Zuwang have? He had read the original work, and he still couldn't figure it out?
Don't look at Qiao Zuwang who cooked a large table of dishes tonight, including salted duck and meat. If you put aside the past and only look at the present, anyone would praise him.
But the key is that Qiao Zu hopes that he will not last long!
In a few days, no, maybe tomorrow, he will return to his true nature and become the person who should eat, drink, and play cards again.
