Chapter 101 Let's Drop Out
Seeing this number, the joy after receiving the admission letter disappeared and the mood dropped to the bottom; if it was 4,000 yuan, plus the money given by my uncle, it still has hope to make up enough, and now it has become 1,000 yuan! In addition, the dormitory fee is 1,020 yuan a year, and the book fee is not mentioned, but the three items will definitely not be less than 1,000 yuan, which is exactly twice the number mentioned by Teacher Liu.
Is there nothing I can do? No, isn’t there any student loan? Di Xiaona rekindled hope. She stuffed the single page with the fee details into her pocket, leaving only an admission letter in the express envelope.
When he got home, Di Xiaona showed the notice to her parents. Although her father and mother were illiterate, they also grinned at the high-end and atmospheric buildings printed on the notice.
While eating, the mother hesitated for a while before speaking, "Xiaona, I'm discussing something with you. Do you think it's okay?"
"Mom, just tell me if you have anything to do. As long as I go to school, I can do whatever I can." Di Xiaona became nervous again.
"Look, your elder brother and second brother are working outside. I heard that they can't eat well and sleep well, so I thought..." My mother stammered for a long time before she spoke, "I just thought that your uncle gave you four thousand yuan. Can you give one thousand yuan to your two brothers and send you five hundred yuan each and wait until they save the money before paying you back?"
Di Xiaona was silent for a while and squeezed out a smile, "Mom, just send it to me, anyway, I still have to get a loan when I get to school."
My mother wiped her tears, "Hey, it's all my fault that I don't have the ability and can't make money and pay for my old money. What is the registration on this notice? Mom prepares dry food for you in advance. Don't you like the fermented tofu made by my mother the most? Mom makes a big jar and you can take it to school to eat."
"I have registered on the 28th, and there are still twenty days left. I will dig some medicinal materials in the next few days to save more money." When it comes to school, Di Xiaona's mood improved again.
During the rest of the time, Di Xiaona got up early every morning to bring dry food and water, took her medicine hoe and snakeskin bags to go up the mountain to collect herbs, and did not come back until dark in the afternoon. After returning, she hurriedly started to sort, slice and dry the medicinal materials; but she had already traveled all over the nearby mountains, and the medicinal materials she got in the remaining twenty days were sold for less than 200, which was almost enough for the train ticket from the county town to Jincheng. Di Xiaona came out of the medicinal materials store and went to the train station to buy a hard seat.
Tomorrow is the day to report. My mother stuffed a large jar of fermented to Di Xiaona's plastic cloth bag, and there were the steamed buns that had been baked in the past few days. These were enough for her to eat for a while. Finally, my mother wanted to pass her, sew a pocket inside the bag, stuffed the money in, and sewed it tightly with needle and thread. "Give it, wait until the school wants to pay the tuition fee and then take it apart. Leave a pocket money on the way; don't sleep when taking the train. There are so many bad people outside. Have you ever gone far away? You have to run thousands of miles away at once. How can I rest assured?" My mother helped her pack her things while wiping her tears.
"Mom, it's okay, I can take good care of myself; but you and dad are old, so you should be careful when going to work in the fields. My brother and I are outside and can't take care of you, so you should also pay attention to your health." Di Xiaona also started crying.
My father was sitting in the main hall smoking a dry cigarette. He heard that they were crying and knocking on the table with a cigarette pot, "Xiaona is going to school tomorrow. What's the good thing to cry? I'll pack up and go to bed early tomorrow morning."
The next morning, Di Xiaona was woken up by her mother, "I cooked a few eggs for you and cooked a bowl of egg soup. You drank the eggs and took them to the road to eat."
"Have you eaten with your father?" Di Xiaona put on her clothes and walked to the side of the pot. She saw that there was only a bowl alone.
"Your father and I have eaten the leftovers of yesterday." Seeing Di Xiaona refuse to eat, the mother continued, "It's hot that you can't hold on. If you don't eat it, you can only pour it."
Then she picked up the bowl and finished drinking the egg soup. After breakfast, she and her father arrived at the roadside at the entrance of the village. Her mother held her hand and kept reminding her to pay attention to her health and study hard. Her father squatted on the side of the road without saying a word to smoke. After a bag of cigarettes, the bus arrived.
He followed his father into the car, "Mom, go back, no need to send it."
"Hey, I'll go back now." He said that, he went back but refused to move. When the car drove, his mother chased the car for a long time. He stopped and waved his hand until the car disappeared into the bend of the mountain. Di Xiaona stretched out her head out of the window and cried as she watched her mother's figure moving away.
When I arrived at the county town, my father helped to rush to the train station with a large plastic bag. When I passed by the intersection, my father stopped at the street stall, "How did this skirt sell?"
"Twenty-five yuan per piece, you really want to take it away for twenty yuan." The stall owner said yawning.
"It's too expensive, will it be sold for ten yuan?" The father stopped Di Xiaona from speaking and even raised the price. He tangled with the stall owner for a while, but the father bit the ten yuan to death. Finally, the stall owner handed over the skirt helplessly.
My father wanted to pick him up, but when he saw his hands looking dark, he shrank back, "Xiaona, please continue to pretend."
Di Xiaona took the skirt and couldn't help crying again. Her father immediately glared at him, "Why are you crying? Dad isn't you thinking that you didn't buy you new clothes even when you went to school. Don't think that the clothes are bad. We don't compare with others. Do you have to study hard when you go?"
Di Xiaona covered her mouth and nodded constantly. When she arrived at the train station, her father could not enter the waiting room without a ticket. After a long quarreling with the staff, she had to leave in disappointment, "I won't give you away. Be careful on the way. If there is anything, call Yang Kai's house. He shouted and I'll go there."
Carrying a large plastic bag, Di Xiaona boarded the train to Jincheng; the green-skinned train was stuffy and hot, Di Xiaona didn't dare to close her eyes for more than 30 hours, and even went to the toilet, she took the time to go back quickly when there were few people at night. In order to safely, her mother sewed several threads of her pocket. The rough thread end made her delicate chest hurt. The stuffy environment soon became sweaty, and the sweat flowed through the place where the thread end was rubbed by the thread end as if she was stabbed by a needle; she didn't dare to move around, so she had to pinch her coat and pull it a little outward; when she went to the bathroom at night, she secretly looked at her chest, which was covered with red marks rubbed by the thread end.
After more than thirty hours, the car finally arrived at Jincheng and followed the crowd out of the train station. She was shocked when she saw a big city for the first time. She grabbed the plastic bag tightly with her hands and didn't know where to go. Fortunately, the reception point of Shuda University was not far away, so she immediately walked over.
"Then I arrived at Shu University. At the beginning, I didn't know anything. When I was collecting tuition, I paid more than 3,000 yuan first. The man didn't tell me how to apply for the student loan. When I finally found out, I told me that the quota had been used up." Di Xiaona finally finished the matter, picked up the mineral water and started drinking it. After such a long story, she had already become dry.
Li Yincheng grabbed her shoulder with both hands and stared at her eyes and said word by word, "This matter is not as serious as you think. The school will not expel you because of this! Let's take a step back and say that even if the school wants to expel you, I will help you find a way to make up your tuition."
Her eyes lit up and dimmed, "Senior, you are a good person, but ten thousand yuan is not a small amount. You have helped me a lot. I can't bother you anymore."
Damn, you are a good person, your whole family is a good person! In the past and after two lives, the girl named Li Yincheng's bad guy is probably almost three digits. This is the first time she was called a good person. "What are you going to do? Do you have any other ways?"
"If it really doesn't work, I'll drop out of school. Senior, shouldn't I be fired after I drop out? I can work in the store while studying by myself, and when I save enough money, I go out to sign up for a training class to learn something." After saying that, Di Xiaona felt much more relaxed as if she had unloaded her burden.
Li Yincheng didn't know how to persuade him for a while, "Oh, don't rush to make a decision first! The dormitory door will be closed immediately. You can go back and rest first. We will discuss it when our mood stabilizes tomorrow."
