After rebirth, I handed over my past life information to the country
Chapter 13 Be your own master
"According to the villagers' gossip, Lotus's mother is going to find her a job as a waiter in town.
"Sister, why do you care so much about Lotus?"
Gu Ning stroked Gu Jing's hair and said, "Children should not interfere in adult matters. If you interfere too much, they won't grow taller."
After sending several children to take a nap, Gu Ning called the home phone number of the head teacher. When the call was connected, Gu Ning said to the head teacher directly: "Teacher Tan, this is Gu Ning. I want to ask you for help with something."
On the other end of the phone, "Student Gu Ning, have you encountered any difficulties?"
"Teacher Tan, this is what happened. There was a girl named Gu Lianhua in our village who had just graduated from elementary school, and her parents asked her to go out to work.
I want to pay for Lianhua to continue her studies, but it cannot be paid in my name. I will pay the money, and the school will exempt her tuition and living expenses under the name of subsidizing needy students.
Lianhua's parents are more son-centric than daughter-centric. Can Teacher Tan go to Gujia Village in person to persuade her parents to let her go to school? "
After listening to Gu Ning's words, Teacher Tan thought for a moment and said gently, "Our school is the No. 1 middle school in the county. Those who are too poor in academics cannot enter the school. How is Lianhua's academic performance?"
"Teacher Tan, it doesn't seem very good, but doesn't our school have a quota experimental class for poor students this year? There are ten quotas, five for boys and five for girls."
"Hey, classmate Gu Ning is well-informed. I just received the notice, but you already know about it. Okay, the quota is first come first served. I will report it to the school and then make an appointment with you."
"I'm waiting for good news from Teacher Tan."
In the afternoon, Gu Ning took a few children to learn Sanda.
The daytime schedule is fully scheduled, and at night I urge several children to finish their homework for the day.
After the children fell asleep, Gu Ning closed the door and continued writing and drawing. After finishing the drawings, he put them into the space.
Two days later, Teacher Tan called and said he would come over at noon.
When Gu Ning accompanied Teacher Tan to Lianhua's home, the Lianhua family was having dinner.
"Uncle Hong, the teacher from the County No. 1 Middle School wants to see you."
For parents, having a teacher visit their home is definitely a big deal.
Uncle Hong quickly stood up and greeted, "Teacher, have you eaten yet? Let's eat together. My dear, go get two sets of bowls and chopsticks."
Teacher Tan waved his hand and said, "Don't bother, I've already eaten."
"Uncle Hong, I've eaten too. Please finish your meal first and then we can talk."
The three Lotus siblings were very scared when they saw their teacher, especially students like them who had poor grades. When they met the teacher on the road, they would take a detour if possible, and would go up to say hello if they couldn't avoid the teacher.
Now teachers come to visit their home. Even though they are not the same teachers who taught them before, the innate fear of teachers makes the three siblings feel very uneasy.
The three siblings finished their meal in a few bites and sat quietly by the side, acting like quails.
Uncle Hong finished his meal and asked Lianhua’s mother to clean up the meal.
Lotus' mother poured a glass of water for Teacher Tan, sat beside him, and waited for Teacher Tan to speak.
"Lotus's parents, the school has a scholarship for Lotus. The school will waive tuition and provide food and lodging. The school has asked me to come and inform you."
Teacher Tan took out a form from her bag and said, "Lotus Dad, please fill in the information."
"It's such a good thing for Lianhua. Teacher Tan, do you think this is okay?" Uncle Hong rubbed his hands. "Can you give Lianhua's place to her brother? Why should a girl study so much? She will get married sooner or later. Let her go out to work and earn money. We can't support her for so many years in vain."
Teacher Tan did not answer Uncle Hong's question, but turned to look at Lianhua, "Lianhua, do you want to study?"
Lotus looked at her parents and said, "I don't really want to study. My grades are not good. I want to go out to work and earn money to buy beautiful clothes and shoes. The quota is fine for anyone."
Gu Ning was stunned by what he said. Is there anyone who doesn’t want to study?
It is the 1990s. Every time a school term starts, almost every household in the rural area sells pigs and cows to raise money for tuition. As long as the situation is not particularly difficult, they will at least let their children finish junior high school before going out to work.
There were really not many students going to high school in the 1990s. In a junior high school class in a rural town, there were 60 students in the first grade, but by the third grade, only half of them were left.
Tuition fees in the 1990s were really expensive, and the biggest expense for an average family was tuition fees.
Pork costs three yuan per pound, tuition is more than 800 yuan, and 2,000 yuan can build a house in the countryside.
In rural areas, if a boy wants to go to high school, his parents will grit their teeth and sell their houses to support him. As for girls, unless the family is a little wealthy, they can only barely finish junior high school and then work as waiters and wash dishes or work in a factory to screw screws.
In that era, if you graduated from high school, you could easily find a good job. If you could graduate from college and find a job, you would hardly do badly.
Now Lotus is giving up such a good opportunity and not going to study. Is she out of her mind?
"Teacher Tan, since Lianhua doesn't want to study, can you give the place to her brother?"
Gu Ning stood up and said, "Uncle Hong, no."
"Kid, I didn't ask you, Teacher Tan, what do you think?"
Teacher Tan glanced at Gu Ning and said, "No, the place is designated for Lianhua. Since she doesn't want it, the school will choose another student. Lianhua, don't refuse so quickly. I'll give you three days to think about it. If you change your mind, tell Gu Ning and she will notify me."
After Teacher Tan left, Gu Ning took Lianhua out.
"Lotus, please accompany me to walk around town. I'm bored alone."
Regardless of whether Lianhua finally decides to go to school, considering that she had helped Gu Jing and Gu Lin in her previous life (Uncle Qiang mentioned this to Gu Ning in his previous life), Gu Ning decided to take her to town to buy some clothes and do some ideological work at the same time.
Gu Ning picked out a few clothes and two pairs of shoes for Lianhua. She was so excited that she hugged Gu Ning and spun around several times.
Since Lotus grew up, she has worn clothes that were too small for her two older brothers and has almost no new clothes.
Now when I see beautiful clothes, I immediately change the patched clothes and put on new ones.
Lotus is naturally beautiful. Her fair skin has never been tanned even though she does farm work. She has an oval face and almond-shaped eyes. Even at such a young age, you can tell that she will be a beauty when she grows up.
"Lotus, aren't these clothes and shoes beautiful?"
"Very beautiful, thank you Sister Ning, I will pay you back when I make money in the future."
"But if you are not pretty anymore, you will still look ugly even if you wear pretty clothes."
Lotus opened her eyes wide, "I'm so beautiful, how could I become ugly in the future?"
"Lotus, isn't Sister Yan from the village pretty? Compare yourself to her, who do you think is prettier?"
"Sister Yan is beautiful."
"Then look who that is?"
Lianhua looked in the direction Gu Ning pointed and saw Sister Yan standing on the street buying things.
Is this person Sister Yan? She is completely different from the Sister Yan she remembered.
Sister Yan’s face now has lost its former rosy color, and is now covered with spots. Her once plump figure has become as thin as a stick, and her eyes are dull and lifeless.
She looks exhausted and ten years older. She has only been married to another village for a few years, how come she looks like this?
Gu Ning pulled Lianhua's hand and said, "Do you know why? After Sister Yan got married at the age of 18, she had to take care of the children, respect her parents-in-law, and do farm work and housework.
Her husband doesn't know how to make money, so she has to take care of everything at home by herself. You see, Sister Yan is only 21 years old this year, and in just three short years she has worked hard to look like she is in her 30s.
If you don't study hard, go out to work, and get married early, Sister Yan's current appearance will be what you will be like in the future."
In the end, he even lost his life.
Lotus shuddered, "Then if I go to school, I won't become like that?"
Gu Ning immediately painted a big pie for her, "It depends on how well you study and how hard you work.
As long as you can get into university, you can sit in an office, protected from wind and rain, and earn a few thousand yuan a month.
Of course, you can choose to work in an office, do business, or go home to farm, it all depends on your personal preference, instead of being forced by life to do a job you don't like.
If you don't study hard and broaden your horizons, you will most likely be farming, serving dishes, or working in a factory in the future, where you will work extremely hard and make no money.
If you don’t make money, you can’t buy beautiful clothes, bags and shoes.
If you study hard and make money, you can buy whatever clothes you want, and you can buy two bags, one to wear in front and one to wear in the back. "
Lotus' eyes sparkled. "A few thousand dollars, isn't that the treatment of a princess?"
Gu Ning nodded, "You are your own princess, you can pamper her however you want. No, you are your own queen, just like the queen in the TV series Wu Zetian, who became her own master step by step through her efforts."
"Then I'm going to study."
"It's a pity it's too late?"
"What do you mean it's late?" Lianhua was anxious.
"Now I have the conditions. Teacher Tan told me that if I take this place, I must score more than 80 points in each subject in the final exam.
If you don't score 80 points, the school will take back your scholarship, and your parents won't continue to pay for your tuition. You are a poor student, how can you get 80 points?"
Lotus stamped her feet and said, "I fought hard to become the queen and have beautiful clothes and shoes. I will definitely study hard."
"Okay, I'll talk to Teacher Tan later. Wait here for me. I'm going to the bathroom."
Gu Ning took Lianhua for a stroll on the Dayu. When they passed a fortune-telling stall, the old man with a white beard called Lianhua.
"Little girl, I see you've had some bloody trouble recently."
