Chapter 171: Tuition Fee
This Jetta cost more than 14 yuan. Liang Baikai couldn't say directly, so he just said: "It's about the same!"
Tian Cuihua said with a smile: "My eldest sister-in-law is still very good. I bought a car worth tens of thousands of dollars on the spot. How different is my younger brother-in-law. Speaking of which, he is still the deputy director of a state-owned leather shoe factory. Every time he comes, he does not do anything but one, two, one."
One-two-one is Shicheng’s dialect, which means coming on foot.
This is actually easy to understand. Anyone who has received military training knows that when walking or running in unison, the instructor will shout the command "one two one, one two one".
Quite vivid.
When it came to Liang Baijin, Liang Baikai didn't want to say more on this topic, so he changed the topic and said, "Pingping is going to study this year too!"
Speaking of this, Tian Cuihua became angry and said angrily: "Yes, Pingping is already six years old. I have told my mother several times to prepare for school fees, but she has not expressed her position."
When I went to elementary school in 1988, tuition and fees were relatively high, costing more than 200 yuan.
There is little income in rural areas now. Farmers usually sell some vegetables and grains in exchange for money to buy oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea and clothes. Most of the time, the money is not enough, and it is difficult to have savings.
Generally, only when selling pigs, you will get a slightly larger sum of money.
For students to study, they often sell pigs before school starts to raise money for tuition.
In Xu Dafu's family, the eldest grandson Xu Yunlong is already in the first grade. The younger grandson Xu Yunhu and granddaughter Xu Pingping will go to preschool this year. It is really a big expense for three children to study.
Xu Qingqing looked at Liang Baikai, then took out 500 yuan from her bag, stuffed it into Tian Cuihua's hand, and said: "Second sister-in-law, no matter what, Pingping is going to school. You can take this money and don't let her know." Got it!"
When Tian Cuihua saw that Xu Qingqing had given so much money, she quickly declined: "Qingqing, I can't take your money!"
Xu Qingqing said: "This money is not for spending, it is for Pingping to study. If she doesn't give you money, won't Pingping not be able to go to school?"
Tian Cuihua looked at the money in her hand, but was reluctant to return it, and was embarrassed. She was stunned for a long time, took out 200 yuan and returned it to Xu Qingqing, and said: "I asked about it. It only costs more than 200 yuan to register for preschool. I will give you back the 200 yuan." , I will keep the three hundred as a loan from you, and I will return it to you later!"
Xu Qingqing declined: "Second sister-in-law, just take it for you. Pingping goes to school, and you are not allowed to buy her two new clothes, a schoolbag, pens, notebooks, etc. It all costs money!"
Tian Cuihua's eyes were a little moist after hearing this.
"Qingqing, you are already married, and you still think about your sister-in-law like this!"
"Thank you, sister-in-law!"
After saying that, he actually stood up and bowed to Xu Qingqing and Liang Baikai.
Xu Qingqing said quickly: "Sister-in-law, don't be like this. Although I am married, I am still Pingping's aunt!"
Liang Baikai also said: "Yes, sister-in-law, you don't have to be so polite."
Tian Cuihua said: "Sister-in-law, you are such a good person. Qingqing gave me so much money and you didn't object."
Liang Baikai couldn't help but smile. He didn't expect that he would get a good guy card here.Said: "Qingqing is the mistress of the family, and she is in charge of the money in our family."
Tian Cuihua said: "That's because you, my aunt, have a large amount of money. For an ordinary family, such a large amount of money will cause conflicts if we don't discuss it."
Xu Qingqing couldn't help but blush when she heard this.
She knew that the second sister-in-law was reminding her, so she couldn't help but glance at Liang Baikai, but she saw that there was no hint of displeasure on his face, and she couldn't help but feel at ease.
Liang Baikai saw her gaze and said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, don't say that. Our family Qingqing means what I mean."
The words were spoken to Tian Cuihua, but they were actually telling Xu Qingqing, don't think too much, you have the final say in our family.
Hearing what Liang Baikai said, Xu Qingqing smiled, and her heart was filled with happiness.
Tian Cuihua put away the 500 yuan and felt a lot more relaxed. She breathed a sigh of relief and called Xu Yunlong, Xu Yunhu and Xu Pingping in front of her. She said sternly: "Your aunt gave me the money. No one is allowed to tell grandma."
After saying that, he still seemed to feel something was inappropriate and said, "No one is allowed to tell!"
Xu Yunlong asked: "Why can't you tell your grandparents?"
Tian Cuihua said: "If you can't say it, you can't say it. Don't ask so many questions! If you don't tell me, I will take you to the mountains to pick August melons in a few days."
Hearing that it was good, Xu Yunlong and Xu Yunhu both nodded in agreement.
Xu Pingping is a girl who won't say anything if her mother doesn't let her.
Next, the three adults were chatting in the house, and a few children ran outside to play. They all gathered around the Jetta, touching here and there, looking there, and were amazed.
When it was almost eleven o'clock, Xu Dafu and others also came back from the fields.
Seeing Xu Yunlong and other children gathered around the car from a distance, Xu Yong said: "Qingqing really came back in a car!"
Xu Meng said: "It means Qingqing is living a good life!"
Xu Dafu nodded with a smile: "Yes, I even bought a car, how can I live a good life! Make a fortune! Make a fortune!"
Chen Hongmei smiled and said: "Qingqing has a good life, and we can also benefit from it!"
Only Du Meihu had a face on her face and said sourly: "What a shame. She has been married for so long. Has she ever brought a bottle of wine or a piece of grain to the family?"
Xu Dafu and Xu Yong immediately fell silent.
Xu Yong said weakly: "Mom, don't always say that to Qingqing. She gave her 300 yuan last time, which can buy a lot of food!"
Du Mei hummed: "300 yuan, 300 yuan, you always remember that 300 yuan, why don't you remember that every time Meimei comes back, she takes noodles or oil home, and fruits come out, and she brings them every time. "
Xu Yong cursed in his heart, Xu Meimei came back many times, and she always brought something when she came back.But the items taken so many times may not add up to 300 yuan!
But he only dared to think, not to say.
"Dad, come and see the car!"
"Grandpa, this is my aunt's car. Come and see it!"
"Grandma, look at aunt's car, it's so beautiful!"
The children Xu Yunlong and Xu Yunhu cheered loudly when they saw Xu Dafu and others coming back.
Xu Dafu, Xu Yong and Xu Meng all walked to the Jetta and looked at it as if they were curious.
Du Mei glanced at the Jetta, filled with envy, jealousy and hatred, "Isn't it just a car? What's so great about it!"
He hummed and walked to the edge of the steps to put down the hoe.
Liang Baikai, Xu Qingqing and Tian Cuihua heard the noise outside and knew that Xu Dafu and others were back, so they also walked out together.
"dad!"
"Big brother, second brother!"
"Sister-in-law!"
