Not bad for money and Grandet

Luo Zizhao said with a smile: "I said, your house is going to be rented out anyway, and I am also renting out, so it is better to rent your house."

Kang Jiayin stared at Luo Zizhao for a long time, then turned his head to look at this clean and tidy house. Compared with his own home, this place is much quieter and more comfortable: "Why don't you rent this place?"

"It's not bad. But it's boring to live alone, and there is no one to talk to. If I live in your house, it will be much more convenient to make up lessons, and you don't have to run around. If there is anything I don't understand, just I can ask you directly." It seems that the purpose of renting his house is to study.

Kang Jiayin knew that Luo Zizhao didn't really like studying that much, but he just wanted to deal with Lao Chu and his family, but if he wanted to say that, he certainly couldn't expose him: "My family's conditions are not as good as yours. There are many people, and it will be more noisy. You You might not get used to it."

"What is that? I have lived in the school's dormitory for eight people. How much is your rent?" Luo Zizhao asked.

Kang Jiayin looked at him seriously, knowing that he was not joking, and said, "Sister Qing gave 1500."

Luo Zizhao's jaw almost dropped in shock: "So little! Do you know how much the rent of my house is? 8000 a month."

Kang Jiayin smiled: "You're different, I'm a co-renter." This is the rent that Yu Jiaqing gave when he offered to rent his house. The rent has not been raised in these years, and Kang Jiayin is grateful to Yu Jiaqing from the bottom of his heart , At that time, this income guaranteed the basic living expenses of him and his younger siblings.

"The price of shared renting is too cheap. Let me rent it, and I will give you 3000 a month." In this way, he can save more than half of the rent for his mother, and he suddenly feels that he is very thrifty in housekeeping.

Kang Jiayin looked at him like a fool: "Do you really want to rent?"

"Really. As long as Sister Qing moves out, I will rent it. I will have meals at your house. I will pay for living expenses. Is 3000 a month enough?" Luo Zizhao said.

Kang Jiayin's eyelids twitched. This guy spends money like running water, often thousands of dollars. He knows the joys and sorrows of the world. He said, "How can I spend so much money?"

Luo Zizhao said: "Why not? I asked the hourly aunt to cook, and my mother gave her 3000 yuan a month to buy vegetables, only for lunch and dinner, and also gave her 2000 yuan in salary. I thought you would also If you want to eat, you can just cook my meal, so I won’t give you any extra money. If you want a salary, you can do it.”

Kang Jiayin waved his hand: "Let me think about it."

Luo Zizhao said with a smile: "Okay, you can think about it slowly. Anyway, Sister Qing hasn't left yet."

Kang Jiayin took a deep breath to calm himself down: "Okay, let's go to class first."

The room must be rented out, because this is the only stable source of income. With this, Kang Jiayin has a sense of security. He never wants to go back to the days when he couldn't even pay the utility bills, and he doesn't want his younger siblings to suffer. Hungry, and I don't want the three siblings to drop out of school again.

But should I rent it to Luo Zizhao?He always felt that Luo Zizhao was sympathetic, but why not Sister Qing?All to help them.However, there is one biggest problem with letting Luo Zizhao come to live at home. According to Luo Zizhao's living habits and consumption standards, there will be a huge gap between Luo Zizhao and their brothers and sisters.With Luo Zizhao's personality, he would definitely not eat alone, and would definitely buy something for everyone to eat, but how could they eat his food with peace of mind? Even if they didn't eat it, what would the younger siblings think when they watched Luo Zizhao eat delicious food and spicy food every day?

Kang Jiayin is very contradictory in his heart, letting Luo Zizhao live here naturally solves the problem of finding a tenant, and he knows his brothers and sisters well and gets along well, but he is bound to face the problems brought about by the gap between the rich and the poor.

Kang Jiayin stared blankly, and told Yu Jiaqing about Luo Zizhao's desire to rent a house.Yu Jiaqing smiled and said, "Okay, it would be a good idea for Ah Zhao to rent. You have a good relationship, and he and Jiahui Jiahua get along well. You can increase the rent. I haven't raised my rent in these years. I'm still embarrassed."

Kang Jiayin shook his head: "Let's not talk about the house price, I'm just worried that we won't know how to get along after he moves in. His family's conditions are good, and if he lives in my house, the difference is too great."

"He's just a tenant, and he didn't look down on you, so what's the matter?" Yu Jiaqing said.

"It's not a matter of looking down on me. I mean, his food and clothing are not at the same level as ours. I'm afraid that his younger brothers and sisters will have a lot of ideas, not to mention jealousy, they will always be envious. I'm afraid they will It will be unbalanced." Kang Jiayin expressed his concerns, and this is where he can't do anything, he really can't provide sufficient material conditions.

Yu Jiaqing frowned: "This is indeed a problem. But you have to know that if you rent someone else, your living habits will still be different, and it may not be easy to get along with. And even if there is no Zhao to compare with you, Jia Hui He Jiahua will still be compared by those classmates, so it may not be a bad thing to let Ah Zhao live."

Kang Jiayin fell silent. What she said was the truth. In such a modern metropolis, there are so many rich people that you can't imagine. Just where he can't see, his younger brothers and sisters are being compared by their rich classmates.

Yu Jiaqing patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, everything has two sides, you just need to guide it well. Jiahui and Jiahua are good boys, they will adjust their mentality. This is what they have to face It’s the right lesson, it’s not bad to learn it nearby.”

Kang Jiayin nodded, even if there is no Luo Zizhao, there will still be Wang Zizhao and Li Zizhao in the future.

After school this afternoon, Luo Zizhao had just finished eating when he received a WeChat message from Yu Jiaqing: "Azhao, are you free now?"

"Yes, I have."

"I'm shopping in the supermarket. I have a lot of things. Can you help me carry them?"

"Okay, come right away."

Luo Zizhao put down his bowl, picked up his cell phone and went out. He rode his bicycle to the supermarket.Yu Jiaqing was waiting for him at the entrance of the supermarket, without anything in his hand, Luo Zizhao asked, "Sister Qing, where are the things?"

Yu Jiaqing adjusted the scarf around her neck and said, "I haven't bought it yet. Let's go get something to drink first."

"Okay. There's a milk tea shop inside." Luo Zizhao followed the good advice, but he actually wanted to ask Yu Jiaqing something.

The two went in and ordered a cup of hot drink, and Luo Zizhao ordered a pastry for Yu Jiaqing: "I've already eaten, Sister Qing, you can fill your belly."

Yu Jiaqing smiled and rolled her eyes: "Thank you! You are so caring. If anyone becomes your girlfriend in the future, she will definitely be the happiest girl in the world." She had a good impression of Luo Zizhao. Not domineering, cheerful, and so handsome, with a high EQ, he is a rare breed just like Jia Yin.

Luo Zizhao smiled and said nothing.

Yu Jiaqing took a bite of the cake and said, "I want to buy a piece of clothing for Jiayin and his siblings as a gift, and I invite you to be an advisor."

"Well, good." Luo Zizhao nodded, "But hurry up, I have to make up lessons at eight o'clock."

Yu Jiaqing laughed: "Okay. I heard you want to rent my room?"

"Well, did Kang Jiayin tell you?"

"said."

Luo Zizhao took a sip of the hot drink: "But he hasn't agreed to me yet. Do you think I paid too much rent?"

Yu Jiaqing smiled and asked, "How much do you give?"

"Three thousand, and then I will give three thousand for food, and I will have a meal at his house." Luo Zizhao said.

Yu Jiaqing was drinking milk tea, when he heard the words, he choked and coughed desperately. Luo Zizhao hurried to find a tissue, but found that he didn't have any on him. He was about to go to the service desk to ask for a tissue, but Yu Jiaqing waved his hand to stop him: " I brought it."

It took a while for Yu Jiaqing to calm down.

Luo Zizhao said worriedly, "Sister Qing, are you alright?"

"It's okay, I was just scared by you. Do you know how much my salary is at work?" Yu Jiaqing said.

Luo Zizhao shook his head.

Yu Jiaqing held out a palm: "Five thousand, after the increase. Social security and medical insurance will be deducted. Fortunately, there is no need to pay income tax." She shrugged helplessly at this point.

"Why so little?" Luo Zizhao showed an incomprehensible expression. His monthly pocket money was more than five thousand, and she still had to rent a room to eat, so there was not enough to spend.

"That's all." Yu Jiaqing smiled wryly, "Do you know how I met the Jiayin brothers and sisters?"

Luo Zizhao shook his head, this was exactly what he was curious about.

Yu Jiaqing sighed softly: "My first job after graduation was to come here as a social worker. Every community has the needy people to serve, that is, those who are in very special circumstances. The brothers and sisters of Jiayin are the objects of our service. At that time, Jia Yin was only 15 years old, Jia Hui was 12, and Jia Hua was 9 years old. They had dropped out of school for a year. There was no electricity at home because they had no money to pay the electricity bill. "

"Where are his parents? Didn't you see them when you went?" Luo Zizhao asked.

Yu Jiaqing shook his head: "I haven't seen any of them. His father used to be a boss, but later the company went bankrupt and died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. His mother is not his father's original spouse. His father has another family, that's the one, you know—" —”

Luo Zizhao said "fuck" in his heart, no wonder they live in Fuli Community: "Then what the hell?"

"His father died suddenly, and he didn't leave any property to them. The original spouse didn't recognize them, and there was no property to distribute to them. Even the house they lived in was under his father's name, not his mother's. He Mom probably didn't want to be reconciled, so she just left. Jiayin said that his mother didn't work, so she might not be able to support three children." Yu Jiaqing sighed at this point, "The road she chose by herself made many It would be irresponsible for an innocent child to suffer the consequences."

"She just left the three children alone?!" Luo Zizhao clenched his fists, not knowing how to express his anger, some trash really didn't deserve to be parents.

Yu Jiaqing sighed: "When I first found out about their family's situation, I couldn't believe it. How could his mother be willing to abandon three such obedient children? Probably some people are born for themselves and are not qualified to be parents. At that time Although their brothers and sisters don't even have enough to eat, they are clean and tidy, and they are very polite, which impresses me very much. They want to go to school, but they have no money, so they study at home by themselves. Jiayin teaches his younger brothers and sisters to read. I actually just finished my second year of junior high school.”

Luo Zizhao asked: "Then how did they go to school?"

"Later we helped to contact the school. I rented his house, and their basic life was guaranteed. Jiayin didn't need to work to earn living expenses, and only had to do some summer jobs." Yu Jiaqing stopped here. After a while, "Azhao, I told you this to let you know how difficult it is for their brothers and sisters. I am very happy that you moved there, so that Jiayin can study with peace of mind and don't have to worry about money. But there are some things I want Let me tell you."

Luo Zizhao nodded: "Sister Qing, tell me."

Yu Jiaqing said: "Jiayin brothers and sisters are particularly insecure. When they were in the most difficult time, they didn't even have food. At that time, someone adopted Jia Hua. Jia Hua went to live in that house for a while, but finally ran away crying. When he came back, he was reluctant to part with his older brothers and sisters. Jiayin vowed that even if he starved to death, he would not send his younger brothers and sisters away, so he attached great importance to money, because only money can guarantee the life of the three brothers and sisters and allow them to go to school. You too It can be seen that he lives very hard and is very frugal, and never spends money recklessly. There must be many differences between you and their living habits, and there are many places that need to be adjusted when living together."

Luo Zizhao felt that this was the main point of Yu Jiaqing looking for him today: "Is there anything that needs attention?"

Yu Jiaqing laughed: "You are very smart, as soon as I tell you, you will know. Your family is in good condition, and the food and clothing are much better than theirs. You may also want to help them. But Be careful, lest your help turn into charity, these children are very sensitive and have strong self-esteem, don't let your help become their psychological burden."

Luo Zizhao nodded half-understanding: "Oh."

Yu Jiaqing said: "Of course, I don't want you to lower your standard of living to match them, but you need to take care of their feelings a little more. You can take snacks and the like to your room."

"It's not necessary, just a little snack." Luo Zizhao couldn't imagine himself hiding in his room eating snacks. He used to live in a dormitory, and he bought things and put them on the table. Sometimes everyone eats together.

"It is necessary. If you often buy something to treat them to eat, with Kang Jiayin's temper, he will definitely not eat you all the time. He will buy something and share it with you. This is an extra cost for him. And his family There are many children in custody, if you don’t take them to your room, the group of children will eat up for you, and they will not be polite to you. My things are also sent to my own room, and those children will not enter the bedroom casually. "Yu Jiaqing gave him experience as an experienced person.

"Oh, I understand." Luo Zizhao nodded.

After Yu Jiaqing ate the cake, drank the milk tea in two or three sips, and said, "Let's go, hurry up and go shopping for clothes, you have to go back to class later."

Luo Zizhao accompanied Yu Jiaqing to buy clothes. Yu Jiaqing took care of Kang Jiayin brothers and sisters as her own younger siblings from the bottom of her heart. Her own salary was not high. Apart from living expenses, she would also buy seasonal items at home from time to time. Fruits, supplement vitamins for everyone, and it’s not bad to save [-] a month.

She spent about a thousand yuan for the Kang Jiayin brothers and sisters today.I bought a pair of jeans for Kang Jiayin and asked Luo Zizhao to try them on: "You two are about the same size, if you can wear them, so can he." I bought a sweater for Jiahui and a pair of jeans for Jiahua.

After buying clothes, I went to buy shoes for the three brothers and sisters, all of which were discounted Li Ning shoes: "Jia Yin always wears canvas shoes, which are cheap, but the shoes are too hard. Last time you went hiking, his toenails It's full of blood."

"Is his foot congested?" Luo Zizhao was a little startled, and felt very uncomfortable. It turned out that Kang Jiayin endured the pain in his foot and carried himself back.

"It should be fine now." Yu Jiaqing didn't notice the change in his mood, "Jiayin is just too sensible, and he is never willing to spend an extra penny for himself."

After shopping, Yu Jiaqing said: "Azhao, I don't want to take the things back today, how about putting them in your place first? I'll take them back before I leave."

Luo Zizhao nodded: "Okay."

"Thank you for your hard work!"

"fine."

Luo Zizhao will take the things Jiaqing bought back and put them in his bedroom, because Kang Jiayin will come, and he will see them in the living room and study room, but he doesn't know if they put them in the bedroom.

Luo Zizhao took the time to read the book, and the monthly exam was about to come. He wanted to get a better score, at least a little better than the last time.While reviewing mathematics, he is studying the content of this semester. Chemistry is still supplementing the content of the first year of high school, and physics is still supplementing the content of the third year of junior high school. Just take the time to memorize and understand.Of course, Chinese and English are the least affected by make-up lessons. This is really based on daily accumulation. There is no shortcut except to read more and memorize more.

Luo Zizhao was very depressed when he memorized. He chose science to memorize less. He didn't expect to memorize it. He knew that he had to memorize so much content, so he went to study liberal arts. No, he had to memorize more than this.He banged his head on the table in desperation. When will his scores in mathematics, physics and chemistry improve? There is no need to count on these subjects that need to be memorized to earn points.

When Kang Jiayin came over, Luo Zizhao was memorizing English words. When he saw him coming, he was like a savior: "Come to class quickly, I have a headache from memorizing English." He looked down at Kang Jiayin's feet. He was wearing socks and couldn't see them. The condition of the toes.

Kang Jiayin said: "If you have time, you can watch American or British dramas with English subtitles only."

"you sure?"

Kang Jiayin nodded: "Why don't you try."

"Okay, I'll try it when the holidays are over. What drama to watch? Do you have any recommendations?"

"I haven't watched it for a long time. I used to watch "The Big Bang Theory" and "Friends". That's when I developed my sense of language, and I think it's quite useful." Kang Jiayin said.

"I'll take a look too, I hope it's useful."

This monthly exam is scheduled for mid-December, because the winter vacation will be in mid-January, and there will be a final exam at that time.Luo Zizhao spent more energy this time than last time. He even reduced the game before going to bed from two games to one game. He didn't even play, just to study for a while, hoping to improve compared to last time.

You never have the experience of feeling good when you are a scumbag in the exam. You are basically confused and don't know how you are doing in the exam.Luo Zizhao, a low-school student, was worried, fearing that his performance would be worse than last time, so that he would not be able to win a scholarship for Kang Jiayin.

Kang Jiayin was calmer than him: "It must be better than the last exam, hard work will not be in vain." Luo Zizhao's learning attitude is much better than when he just started school, at least he won't fall asleep in class, and during physics classes that he doesn't understand, He will take the initiative to do the questions and seize the time to remediate the previous knowledge points.

Luo Zizhao bared his teeth: "I hope so."

On Saturday, Luo Zizhao asked his father to ask Lao Chu about his grades. The total score was 298, an improvement from last time.When the score was read from Luo Wenlong's mouth, Luo Zizhao immediately jumped up happily: "Long live! You've made progress again! Old Dou, am I good?"

Luo Wenlong looked at his happy son and said with a smile, "It's improved compared to last time, but it's not that great. It's still the last one in the class. Can you improve in the final exam?"

Luo Zizhao was splashed with cold water from Lao Dou, and immediately calmed down: "Old Dou, how many points do I need in the test before you give Kang Jiayin a bonus?"

Luo Wenlong originally wanted to say that as long as it is not less than this time, he will post it, but he changed it to: "At least one ranking must be improved."

Luo Zizhao said, "Then how many points did the person in front of me get?"

"do not know."

"Hurry up and ask the teacher for me to send you the report card. I'll see what the bottom No. 2 score is." He wants to see if he can achieve this goal.

Luo Wenlong sent Lao Chu a Wechat message, asking him the countdown score of No. 2, and Lao Chu replied to the message, counting down No. 2332 points.

Luo Zizhao quickly took out a pen to calculate the approximate score for each test to achieve this goal.For a scumbag, studying is a painful thing. Now, in order to help Kang Jiayin make money, Luo Zizhao is also working hard, showing unprecedented energy.

In addition to physics, English is his biggest shortcoming, so it is also the subject with the most potential to improve his score.This weekend, he watched "The Big Bang Theory" at home, but he couldn't understand what he was talking about. He watched English subtitles, and there were many words he didn't know. He looked like a fool and couldn't tell the faces apart. The foreigner was chattering there, and finally threw the tablet away, and honestly went to his English dictionary for middle school students, let's memorize common words first.

When Luo Zizhao got excited, he forgot to announce the good news to Kang Jiayin, but Kang Jiayin took the initiative to chat with him: "I asked Lao Chu, you got 298 points in the test this time. You have made progress, congratulations!"

Knowing that he took the initiative to call Lao Chu to ask about his grades, Luo Zizhao felt a little wet. It turned out that he cared about him so much. He replied: "I already know, but I forgot to tell you. I am reciting English vocabulary and trying to get the final exam." He did better in the exam." He didn't say that only No.2 from the bottom would win him the bonus, assuming that the final ranking really didn't improve, but if the grades improved, he could still have a hard time with Laodou, so that Kang Jiayin could get the bonus with peace of mind .

Kang Jiayin replied: "Hey, I know that I have taken the initiative to study on weekends. Not bad, come on!"

Kang Jiayin is the first in the grade again this time, and his grades have always been stable.This is not only because he is smart, but also because his willpower is stronger than others. His short ten years of life experience have made him mature much earlier than his peers. His goals are clear, and reading is the only chance to change his destiny. His learning opportunities are harder to come by than anyone else, so he cherishes them.

On the morning of Christmas, Luo Zizhao got up early, and it was still dark outside when he got up.After he finished washing, he put on a red coat, put on a pair of boots, put on his schoolbag, and went out with big and small bags.Walking to the gate of Fuli Community, Yu Jiaqing was already waiting for him there: "Come on, you really look a bit like Santa Claus, you should wear a red hat and a white beard. You wrapped all the presents? "

"Yes, Christmas presents, of course they have to look like presents." Luo Zizhao said with a smile, "Let's go, give them presents."

"Okay, give me some bags." Yu Jiaqing took a few bags, and the two walked in together.
