“Her father said that the tuition and miscellaneous fees are more than 200 for half a day (actually, it means one semester), and you have to buy homework books. You also bought watercolor pens for the first half of the day, which cost fifteen!”

“Back and forth, I have to feed Xiaoshuang. I bought her a lunch box for ten yuan.”

“and also”

Ramble.

The old lady talked about a lot of places to spend money.

In fact, summed up, there are not a few hundred dollars in total.

But after listening, Lin Gu and Du Xiangwan were all silent.

Because, what the old lady said was all the money that Li Shuang had to spend to go to school.

This also means that in this family, when Li Shuang went to school, there was no extra money!

Is there a canteen outside the school?

The hot strips and hot slices cost 50 cents a bag, she has never eaten them before;

Are there any stationery sellers?

That kind of hardcover diary costs two yuan each, and she has never used it.

Lunch is always taken from home by myself. Sometimes it is cornmeal dry food, sometimes it is a few steamed buns, and rarely with meat.

such a life

Lin Gu has never experienced it, let alone Du Xiangwan.

Behind Lin Gu, Du Xiangwan’s eyes gradually turned red.

She seems to understand why Lin Gu always wears a suit, why Lin Gu still has to bargain when buying a mobile phone, and why Lin Gu is not willing to eat instant noodles.

Because, the suit he was wearing was already a “luxury dress” that such a small family could only hope for.

Because, the mobile phone worth more than 2,000 yuan in his hand is a “high-tech product” that such a small family will never see in this lifetime.

Because, the five yuan bowl of instant noodles that Lin Gu ate was a delicacy that Li Shuang didn’t dare to take a second look at in normal times!

Du Xiangwan suddenly remembered a joke on the Internet

A reporter came to the countryside and saw children eating instant noodles.

Just said something casually.

“You can’t eat too much instant noodles, it’s unhealthy.”

The child’s mother nodded, with a bitter smile on her face.

“Don’t eat too much, today is the child’s birthday, take her to eat once”

There are still many such difficulties in impoverished mountainous areas, in these places that seem to have been forgotten by people.

So Lin Gu donated all the money he earned, so he was reluctant to spend it by himself, and he was not willing to enjoy it by himself.

Even if it is a car, Lin Gu is reluctant to buy it.

A car worth 100,000 yuan is money that a family like Li Shuang will never be able to earn in this lifetime!

This is poverty, this is the real poverty that is not an exaggeration at all!

After rambling on.

The old lady also looked a little tired.

How much savings does this family have in total? It’s all hidden in the cotton pants that she can’t bear to take off when she sleeps.

That’s what Li Youcai earned by earning tens of dollars a day.

If you want to eat at home, just rice and noodles are already too important.

Under such circumstances, the few hundred dollars that Li Shuang spent was really not a small sum!

And at this moment, Li Shuang was holding a plate, and there were five quilts that were not very clean and looked different.

One of them is a canned bottle

It contained half a tank of hot water.

“Uncle, Auntie, drink water”

Little Li Shuang was not afraid of people, but she was not generous either. She just put water on the kang with eyes full of vigilance.

The old lady raised her hand and greeted her loudly.

“Drink water, drink water Guozhong, drink some water!”

“Hey, hey.”Wu Guozhong agreed and picked up the can.

He knew that Lin Gu and Du Xiangwan were rich people, how could they not pay attention to hygiene?

This canned bottle has no handle, not to mention it is hot, and it looks unsightly.

On the plate was a cup that looked fairly clean.

Lin Gu didn’t say anything, and directly picked up a cup with a missing rim from the plate.

Zhao Yunshan also picked it up.

Meng Li also picked it up.

In the end, the clean cup was left on the plate.

Obviously, everyone subconsciously left this cup to Du Xiangwan, after all, she is a girl

It’s not about caring or not, but 120 is just a subconscious action.

Tears welled up in Du Xiangwan’s eyes instantly.

A family can’t even bring out a decent cup for entertaining guests!

Was Li Shuang boiling water just now, or was she rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find a decent container?

No one can tell

Du Xiangwan picked up the cup silently, she was not afraid that it would be dirty.

Because Li Shuang may have hesitated for a long time before carefully taking out this cup. It is the only cup in the house that looks intact.

He took two sips lightly and watched Lin Gu talking to the old lady.

Du Xiangwan got down to the ground, squatted down, looked at Li Shuang, wiped the tears off his face, and said softly.

“Xiaoshuang, would you like to go outside with Auntie? Auntie wants to see your house.”

Li Shuang looked at grandma in a daze. The old lady had a smile on her face.

“This little girl is so handsome, go and play with my sister.”

Only then did Li Shuang come to Du Xiangwan’s side.

As for whether it is a sister or an aunt, it is obviously not very important now.

With Li Shuang, Du Xiangwan walked out of the house and came to the yard.

Seeing the backs of the two of them leaving, Lin Gu put down his cup and continued to ask.

“Grandma, when is the family going to let Li Shuang go to school?”

The old lady heard this sentence clearly.

A trace of struggle appeared on her face, but after thinking about it, she sat down on the kang.

Looks swollen.

“Where are you going to go? After finishing elementary school for the past few years, hurry up and come back.”

“My old lady is deaf, her legs and feet are not good, and she is not at home if she is rich.”

“When the time comes, let Xiaoshuang go out to do a part-time job, why doesn’t she make a little money (meaning make some money)!”

“Going to school is not of much use.”

As soon as this statement came out.

Before Lin Gu said anything, Zhao Yunshan couldn’t sit still.

“Old lady, that’s not the case!!”

Zhao Yunshan came this time to do poverty alleviation work, and it was to help the poor through education.

In this kind of poverty alleviation, the most feared thing is not the lack of money, but the fact that the parents do not allow their children to go to school.

Don’t feel that you don’t understand!

From the perspective of normal people, this is indeed the case.

If you give me money to help my child go to school, then I really need to be grateful, and I can burn incense for you!

However, for those families who are particularly difficult

As long as these education funds don’t fall into the family, they won’t be able to let the child go.

It’s not that I don’t want to let it go, it’s that I can’t let it go

In rural areas, teenage children are already considered a labor force.

I won’t say how much you spend on going to school. If someone donates, then we will treat it as no expenditure in this regard.

But what about income?

If you don’t go to school, then you have income for this family!

At least, if you go out to do a part-time job, you will be paid three to five hundred a month, right?
