Since the unified system was implemented in 95, tuition fees have been required to study in college. For many rural families, the annual tuition fee of several thousand yuan is a huge burden, and it is not uncommon for people to give up their studies because of this.

Of course, the choice of more families is to sell money to send their children to school.Of course, there is no one who is really trying to sell the iron. They are just asking relatives and friends to borrow money and borrowing money to support their children's education.This was the case for Liu Xiaofeng in front of him. His son Liu Hongyu was admitted to a second-tier school in Hebei Province. With the opportunity to go out of farming, he naturally had to pay for the loan.

The whole Liu Tun knew that Liu Xiaochuan had made a fortune outside. Liu Jinyou and Zhao Cuiping now had no worries about spending money and just enjoyed themselves, so Liu Xiaofeng came to Uncle Jin You to borrow money. Unexpectedly, Liu Jin did not let him Go directly to Xiaochuan.As a clan brother, Liu Xiaofeng felt a little ashamed to ask a clan brother in his twenties to borrow money, but for the sake of his son's studies, he had no choice but to ask for money.

Liu Xiaochuan understood the principle of helping people in emergencies rather than helping the poor, so he told his parents that except for real relatives at home, anyone else in the village who came to borrow money would refuse and would blame him if they couldn't save face.But studying is a good thing, so Liu Xiaochuan naturally wants to help.

"Third brother, you go home and wait for me. I'll go back to the house to make arrangements. I'll talk to you at your house later!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you when I go back!" Seeing that Xiaochuan didn't refuse, Liu Xiaofeng felt happy and went home to wait.

When Liu Xiaochuan returned home, Lu Linlin was sitting on the edge of the kang in a restrained manner, chatting with Zhao Cuiping and Liu Xiaoyun. She was a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the Liu family and seemed a little reserved. Seeing Liu Xiaochuan enter the house, she felt more confident.

When Liu Jinyou saw his son coming back, he asked: "Did your third brother ask you to borrow money? His son has also been admitted to college. I heard that the tuition fee is several thousand a year, which is enough for the two of them." He The old man in the family is in poor health and takes medicine all year round. Liu Xiaofeng dare not go out to work even if he wants to, and he can’t make much money by cultivating these acres of land at home.”

Although Liu Jinyou didn't say it explicitly, the implication was that he wanted Liu Xiaochuan to help him as much as he could. After all, they were all brothers from the same clan.

"Yes, I know. I'll go to his house later and have a look!" After Liu Xiaochuan finished speaking, he turned to his mother and said, "Mom, we are tired after driving for a day. Please stop questioning her and quickly arrange for Linlin to rest. For a moment, let her live in the same house as my eldest sister."

Liu Xiaochuan was afraid that Lu Linlin would not be able to resist him if he was not around for a while. With Zhao Cuiping's character, she could chatter all night long.

"Look at you kid, you don't care about anything. Linlin and I are chatting happily! By the way, Linlin, are you tired? If you are, ask your eldest sister to accompany you to rest first!"

It's only 8 o'clock now. In summer, the days are long and the nights are short. It's just dark, so I usually don't take a rest that early, but I'm really tired after riding in the car all day.But what could Lu Linlin say? She could only brace herself and said, "Auntie, I'm not tired!"

"Aren't you tired? Let's chat for a while. Auntie likes you as soon as she sees you!" Zhao Cuiping was very happy with Lu Linlin's performance, then turned to Liu Xiaochuan and said: "Look, Linlin is not tired, just you have a finger in the pie!"

Liu Xiaochuan was also helpless. He comforted Lu Linlin with his eyes, then turned around and went out. He took a wad of money from the trunk of the golf ball, put it in it, and went to Liu Xiaofeng's house.

Liu Xiaofeng's house is a street behind. When Liu Xiaochuan arrived, he was standing at the gate waiting. Not only him, but his wife and son were also standing at the gate waiting.

"Third brother, third sister-in-law, why are you so polite!"

"Xiaochuan is here, come up to the house quickly!" Liu Xiaofeng and his wife greeted him enthusiastically.

"Uncle Xiaochuan!" Liu Hongyu also greeted shyly. When he was a child, he always played behind Liu Xiaochuan and his group of older children. He never called him uncle a few times. Now that he is older, he naturally has to know how to be polite, let alone go to school. I still have to borrow the tuition fees from this clan uncle!

After taking a look at Liu Xiaofeng's house, it's not an exaggeration to describe it as bare walls. The lights in the house are dim, probably 25-watt incandescent lamps.There is a mirror standing on top of the two cabinets, and a 14-inch black and white TV set next to it.

Liu Xiaofeng's old mother lived in the house opposite. Liu Xiaochuan wanted to call him "Er Niang", so he had to say hello first. The old lady was deaf and couldn't hear clearly what he said, so she just said hello with a smile. He praised him for his achievements.

"Your second wife is very deaf. It's hard for us to talk to her now. We basically rely on gestures with our hands, and her eyesight is not good. It's pretty good that she can recognize you!"

Liu Xiaochuan gestured and said a few words to Er Niang, but they were basically not on the same channel, so he had to say hello and returned to the opposite room.

Liu Xiaofeng's wife quickly poured a cup of tea, and Liu Xiaochuan took a sip of tea. It was black tea that cost 5 yuan for half a catty.He briefly asked some about Liu Hongyu. He majored in civil engineering. He would definitely be able to find a job after graduation. Going to the construction site to dust ashes must be very hard work. However, rural children are not afraid of hard work, but they are afraid of not making money. .

Seeing Liu Xiaofeng's family of three looking at them eagerly, Liu Xiaochuan stopped stretching and quickly took out the money, counting out 1 yuan, but did not hand it to them in a hurry. "Third brother, my eldest nephew is going to school. If I can help, I will definitely help. However, I can lend the money, not to you, but to Hong Yu. I need him to give me an IOU!"

In rural areas, when people borrow money from each other, there are very few people who write IOUs. Liu Xiaofeng also knows that people can lend him so much money, so it is okay for him to write IOUs.He immediately said: "That's right, Xiaochuan, Third Brother will give you an IOU right now!"

"Third brother, you see you didn't understand. I'm not asking you to pay the IOU to Hong Yu. I'm not lending you the money, I'm lending it to him. He is also an 18-year-old adult, and he needs to take care of some things by himself!"

Liu Xiaofeng was a little puzzled. He felt that Xiaochuan didn't trust him and was afraid that he would default on the debt in the future. He actually didn't want his son to be in debt, but there was nothing he could do now.

Liu Hongyu was quite sensible and said immediately: "Okay, Uncle Xiaochuan, I'll write!" After that, he took the paper and pen from his school bag.

Liu Hongyu wrote down the loan amount and date, and asked: "Uncle Xiaochuan, how is the interest calculated?"

Liu Xiaochuan took a sip of tea and said, "Uncle, can I ask you for interest? Just write down the repayment date in seven years. Today in 2004, just pay me back the principal. By then you will have graduated three years ago, so you will definitely have earned it." , If you still don’t pay by then, my uncle will come to you with an IOU!”

"Don't worry, Uncle Xiaochuan, I will definitely study hard and try to earn money to pay you back soon after graduation!" Liu Hongyu said, patting his chest.

Only then did Liu Xiaofeng realize that Xiaochuan's decision to let his son pay the IOU was obviously to put pressure on the child to study hard.

Liu Xiaochuan received the IOU, put it in his pocket, and counted out five hundred-yuan bills and handed them to Liu Hongyu, "My uncle lent you the money just now. This 5 is for you, just think of it as buying some clothes for you!" "

Liu Hongyu naturally refused to answer, and Liu Xiaofeng and his wife quickly declined.

"Okay, third brother, third sister-in-law, don't be polite to me. After all, I am also his uncle and an elder. I can't show my eldest nephew's entrance to college!" After some pushing, Liu Xiaofeng let his son take it. Thank you very much for the money!

After leaving Liu Xiaofeng's house, Liu Xiaochuan felt a little touched. There should be many situations like Liu Xiaofeng's house in Shita Town. Since he has money and wants to do some charity, why not set up a student fund to help these college students in need? Woolen cloth!
