Chapter 18
"Yeah!" Zhou Xiaojuan nodded her head.

Zhou Laiqian on the side poured cold water: "What do you want to learn? It's good for someone like you who can write a few words, and you want to write well!"

"You don't care!" Zhou Xiaojuan jumped down and hit someone: "Zhou Laiqian, shut up, I'll be annoyed when you talk!"

"Which brother is like you, who knows how to pour cold water on his sister all day long!"

"Okay, okay, auntie, I'm afraid you won't succeed, can you stop beating me!"

Zhou Laiqian covered his face with his arms.

Please forgive me.

"That's about the same. If you talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I'll send you to see Grandma!"

Zhou Xiaojuan shook her fist at Zhou Laiqian.

Gu Lin can be regarded as seeing the way these two get along.

Funny at the same time, there is a trace of envy.

"Sister-in-law, tell me quickly!"

Gu Lin said: "Two words means more practice! Whoever writes well is not born with it, it is all learned over time!"

"If you want to write well, you have to practice more. When you go out to find a job in the future, others will look at you highly when they see your good handwriting!"

"Places like newspaper offices, and teachers like people who can write well! In other words, if you can write well, you will have a better chance of finding a job than others!"

"Oh!"

Gu Lin thought Zhou Xiaojuan would be very happy, but the little girl drooped her face.

She was confused: "what's the matter?"

"Are you stupid?" Zhou Laiqian, who was sitting cross-legged on a chair, squinted at his sister-in-law: "Our family has no money, this girl won't study anymore!"

"Come on, why are you talking to your sister-in-law!" Zhang Guixiang glared at his son.

Zhou Laiqian curled his lips and turned his head elsewhere.

Anyway, he didn't say anything wrong.

Gu Lin quickly apologized to Zhou Xiaojuan: "Xiaojuan, I'm sorry, I really forgot about this!"

"Mother, how much does Xiaojuan charge for a semester?" Gu Lin asked Zhang Guixiang again.

"The tuition fee is eight yuan, and the rest of the mess is at least ten yuan a semester!" Zhou Laiqian rushed to answer again.

Gu Lin exclaimed: "It's only ten yuan, how much is it for me, and I will count how much money I have in my hand when I get back to the house!"

"If it's not enough, borrow it!"

"Xiaojuan!" Gu Lin looked at Zhou Xiaojuan seriously: "Do you like reading?"

"It's okay!" Zhou Xiaojuan lowered her head and played with her fingers.

In fact, she likes reading very much.

Before studying, she thought the outside world was the same as the village.

Mountains are mountains.

Everyone depends on the sky for food, and everyone has no electricity.

After studying, she realized that there is a sea beyond the mountains, and the place where they live is the northwest.

In addition to the northwest, there is the northeast, the southeast, and the south.

The broadcast said that basically every household in the south has ten thousand yuan households, and nine out of ten households drive four-wheeled cars.

They have never seen the fruits that people eat over there. Every household over there has a TV, a washing machine, and even a refrigerator.

Some of them even use a phone, the kind you can hold in your hand and receive calls wherever you go.

She looks forward to that life.

She longed for one day to get out of the mountains and really take a look outside.

Even a glance is fine.

Gu Lin could see the little girl's emotions, and said firmly, "Since you like reading, our family will pay for your reading even if you sell everything!"

"You don't need to worry about money, I will earn it. I only have one request for you, and that is to devote all your thoughts to studying, to the point of death!"

"If you can go to junior high school, I will pay for you to go to junior high school. If you can go to high school, I will pay for your high school. If you can go to college, I will pay for all your college expenses!"

Zhou Xiaojuan was dumbfounded.

Zhou Laiqian snorted disdainfully.

The tone was full of sarcasm.

seems to say.

I believe in you.

Gu Lin was not angry either, and looked at Zhou Laiqian: "Don't be envious or jealous, if you are willing to study, I will pay for you!"

"Or if you want to learn a craft, I will also consider it. If you don't want to learn anything, then honestly farm for me at home!"

Zhou Laiqian is still foolish and dismissive.

"I've seen a braggart, but I've never seen you so good at bragging, boasting that you are rich and powerful, like a millionaire!"

"Miss!"

Zhou Laiqian clasped his hands together: "Can we be more clear-headed? Our family has no money!"

"The kind that doesn't have a dime!"

"Don't say Xiaojuan is studying, but she doesn't even have the money to buy seeds!"

"Mother, have you started farming yet?" Gu Lin asked Zhang Guixiang again: "Is our family still planting wheat?"

Corn can only be planted after wheat comes out, so what can be planted at this time is wheat.

But there are mountains everywhere here, and the fields are also on the mountains, and the watering depends on the rain from God.

The more rain, the better the harvest.

There is little rain and the harvest is not good.

If there is a plague of locusts, maybe there will be no harvest.

Such a thing has not happened.

Moreover, Gu Lin is a student of the Agricultural College, so she has heard many things.

Zhang Guixiang sighed again: "Our family has more than ten acres of land, all of which are on the mountain. We planned to clean it up before we came to transport it away. It's not that it's cold this year, everyone didn't clean it up, so we went out to work when we transported it away!"

"I heard today that everyone has cleaned up the fields one after another in the past two days, and it rained again today. I guess someone will plant the land today!"

"That's it!"

"Let me calculate for you how much money our family has left. You originally had 500 yuan in your hand. Give them [-] yuan, and the rest is [-] yuan!"

"It took a total of 60 yuan to do things for the eldest brother. This is a symbolic amount because they see our orphans and widows pitiful!"

"You gave your mother another 30 yuan, so now you have [-] yuan left in your hand, plus the [-] yuan in my hand, our family only has [-] yuan now!"

"Mother, do you have any more?" Zhou Laiqian looked at Zhang Guixiang.

Zhang Guixiang nodded: "Yes, not much, it was all given to me by your elder brother, and it was only a few dollars!"

Zhou Laiqian looked at Gu Lin again: "Did you see that? We only have this little money in our family. Mother needs to keep some money for emergencies!"

"If you send Xiaojuan to study, besides the money for buying the seeds, and pay back the money owed to the villagers, our family will have no money at all!"

Zhou Laiqian spread his hands and looked at Gu Lin provocatively.

Anyway, just let him eat shit, he doesn't believe that this woman can make money.

Earning from the mouth is almost the same.

Gu Lin let out a long sigh of relief.

"Scared me to death! You said it so seriously with a straight face, I thought our family only had one yuan left!"

"After all, there are more than 30 yuan, and more than 30 yuan can do a lot of things!"

Gu Lin's eyes fell on Zhang Guixiang and Zhou Xiaojuan again: "Mom, I think it's better for Xiaojuan to continue studying!"

"Money can be made again, but time waits for no one. Xiaojuan learns knowledge a few days later than others, and it is very likely that she will not be able to keep up later!"

"By the way, Xiaojuan, what grade are you in now?"

Zhou Xiaojuan is ten years old this year, so she should be a third grader anyway.
