Chapter 276: Sponsored Students, Home Visits
"Okay then, you live in Wangjiatun, right? Oh, by the way, is Wang Qingchuan from the same village as you?" Gu Qinghuan suddenly remembered that both of them had the surname Wang and their families were extremely poor.
Wang Qingchuan paid his tuition fees at the end of each semester.
"Yes, Qingchuan is also from our village, and his family's conditions are even more difficult than mine.
When he was two years old, his father was repairing a canal and was killed by a rock falling from above.
His mother has been raising him alone for so many years, and she doesn't agree when people introduce men to her.
Qingchuan has been a good student since he was young, but his family was poor and his mother had to earn money alone to support him.
No one in the village was willing to lend money to his family, fearing that they, an orphan and a widow, would not be able to fill the hole.
I guess he won't go to high school anymore.
What a pity, he got first place in the exam." When Wang Ruolan said the last two sentences, she looked at Gu Qinghuan with hope in her eyes.
She really hoped that Gu Qinghuan could help Wang Qingchuan just like she helped her, but she couldn't say anything.
Gu Qinghuan didn't expect that Wang Qingchuan, who was so skinny and always wore big, ill-fitting clothes, had such a situation at home.
I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
"Besides him, are there any other children in the class whose families are in financial difficulty and who cannot go to high school? Can you tell me more about them?"
Next, Wang Ruolan mentioned nearly a dozen children who were admitted to high school but whose families were poor and could not afford to go to school.
Gu Qinghuan wrote them down one by one.
Since last night she has been thinking about how to help these children continue their studies.
Her principle has always been to protect herself, but this time, she has to accomplish it no matter what.
I wanted to continue sending gold bars to the school in the name of Wang Zhiyuan as I did last time.
But how should the school distribute the money? To whom should it be given? How much should it be given? Can it ensure that those who need it get the money? These are all questions.
She had seen the greed of human nature, and if people knew about it, it would probably cause a series of problems.
So this method is definitely not appropriate.
She finally decided to sponsor these children's education with her own personal name.
The money is in her own pocket, and she has her own rational judgment. She can decide for herself who to give the money to and who not to give it to, and no one can say anything.
This will ensure that the money is spent on those who really need it.
Better than turning the money into public property.
After thinking it over, she decided to just go and inspect the place directly.
Anyway, the class she taught had finished the exam and she had no classes now, so she had plenty of time to do this.
It just so happened that Lin Muyang came to her early in the morning to announce the good news.
"The article I helped to compile last time has been published! Look, it's already been published in the newspaper, and it's on a relatively important page.
The manuscript fee was also sent to me, a total of 300 yuan, and it was agreed that it was all yours, so I don’t want it anymore.”
Gu Qinghuan just wanted to find a reason to sponsor the children, and unexpectedly he received this royalty fee.
"Then I won't be polite with you. I just happen to need some money recently, so I'll consider it as one I owe you." Gu Qinghuan took the envelope and said.
"You need money urgently? I have some here, but only thirty, which is a little less. Do you want it?"
Lin Muyang generously prepared to take out his pocket. He had thirty yuan in his pocket. This was the reward he had just received and he had not had time to take it back home.
"No, that's enough. Didn't you tell me yesterday that only half of these kids can go to high school?
I plan to use the money to support students who cannot afford to go to high school." Gu Qinghuan said calmly.
Lin Muyang was surprised.
Gu Qinghuan always refreshes his cognition with actions.
Sometimes he envied these children. If only he had met a good teacher like Gu Qinghuan when he was studying.
"Are you serious? Do you know that three hundred dollars is far from enough to support these children?
Once you start, you have no choice but to stick to it until the end. Otherwise, you may not get gratitude in return, but complaints.
In two years, each child will cost you at least two hundred dollars. It's a bottomless pit!"
Although Lin Muyang felt that Gu Qinghuan was progressive in thought and of noble character, he did not advocate such an approach.
Because he had also thought about sponsoring students like her, but there were many problems in reality that made him back off.
In short, this is not a matter of just one sentence.
Gu Qinghuan has Wang Zhiyuan's box of gold bars as a backup, so even if she supports hundreds or thousands more, let alone these children, there will be no problem at all.
But she couldn't say.
She felt that two hundred yuan was worth it to give these children a different future.
"Don't worry, I can still afford the money to support them. In fact, my mother has prepared a property for me in Beijing. The monthly rent is not small, so I can afford to support these children.
I just need you to help me cover it up a little bit and tell the public that I support them with my writing fees, okay?"
Lin Muyang understood that she was determined to sponsor these children.
He secretly despised himself in his heart.
You see, after all, he is still a mortal and does not have the courage of Gu Qinghuan.
"No problem, now that you've made up your mind, I will only be happy for the children. Thank you for doing what I have always wanted to do but didn't dare to do." Lin Muyang said seriously.
Gu Qinghuan asked Lin Muyang for the children's home addresses and asked him to compile a more detailed family situation form.
She plans to visit each household one by one.
The first stop is Wangjiatun, and by the way, we will visit Wang Qingchuan.
After the two children went to the classroom, Gu Qinghuan rode his bicycle and carried Wang Ruolan and her luggage back to Wangjiatun.
The reason why Wangjiatun’s conditions are poor is because of its bad terrain.
People say that if you live by the mountain, you can eat from the mountain; if you live by the water, you can eat from the water. But here they don't rely on anything.
Gu Qinghuan got on and off the bike several times along the way and rode on the mountain road for nearly an hour before entering the territory of Wangjiatun.
"Ruolan, it's such a long distance. Do you usually walk back and forth by yourself? How long does it take?" She asked while rubbing her sore calf.
"It's a little far from here. It takes at least two hours to get to the commune even if you walk fast. But I'm used to it."
Perhaps it was because she was back in a familiar place, Wang Ruolan felt so relaxed that even her hometown accent came out.
This me instantly reminded her of someone.
Wang Xiaowei.
When we first met, she always said "I like it", but later she rarely said it.
"Is there a girl named Wang Xiaowei here?" Could it be that we are destined to meet?
"Are you talking about Sister Xiaowei? Do you know her? She is my cousin from the next room. She took her child to Beijing to find her man last year and hasn't come back yet.
I heard from my aunt that she is now living a good life with her husband in Beijing! She even sent money back to my aunt to spend. "
"Oh, I met her once before, so I asked her when I remembered. I didn't expect it to be true."
That’s right, it’s Wang Xiaowei.
It’s a small world.
Maybe I have a connection with people with the surname Wang!
No, maybe Wang Zhiyuan's spirit was still alive in the underworld and asked her to take his money to help these people with the surname Wang.
Maybe their ancestors were from the same family, but who can tell for sure?
Wang Xiaowei is a person who only reports good news and not bad news. Even when she suffered such a great injustice, she didn't tell her family about it.
Gu Qinghuan shook her head and continued to follow Wang Ruolan home.
When the two arrived at Wang's house, it was already past eleven o'clock.
Wang Ruolan waved at a half-grown boy from a distance: "Ruojun!"
"Teacher Gu, this is my younger brother Ruojun. He stopped studying after primary school and now works with his parents to earn work points. This time he came back early to cook."
When the boy saw her, he grinned and ran over excitedly.
It was not until she saw Gu Qinghuan beside her that she calmed down a little and said shyly, "Sister, you're back?"
"Well, this is my Chinese teacher, Ms. Gu. She came here for a home visit today. Let's go back and cook first!"
Wang Ruolan acted like an older sister, directing her brother to move the luggage and leading Gu Qinghuan into the house.
Wang Ruojun is a naughty boy, born afraid of teachers. When he sees Gu Qinghuan, his legs go weak and he stays away from her.
When Gu Qinghuan came, he thought that he might have dinner at a student's home today, so he brought his own rations and an extra pound of meat.
She helped Wang Ruolan cook lunch and also took out the meat she brought to cook together.
Wang Ruolan had no choice but to agree to the invitation. She was also worried because there were only vegetarian dishes at home and no meat, so she would not be able to serve them to the teacher.
The two of them were busy picking vegetables together.
When Wang Rujun saw the meat, his eyes lit up. He thought, "Sister is such a generous teacher."
Although Wang Ruolan's house is not big, the house is a bit old, and the ground is bumpy, but it is clean. Every corner in front of and behind the house belongs to their land, and they plant all kinds of vegetables and fruits in every available space. It can be seen that the owner of this house knows how to live.
Gu Qinghuan's impression naturally improved a bit.
Wang Ruolan picked the first crop of peppers, as well as cowpeas and eggplants, two cucumbers, and two or three tomatoes.
She planned to make stir-fried pork with green pepper, stir-fried cowpea and eggplant, a refreshing smashed cucumber, and if there were eggs left at home, she would make scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Unfortunately, she searched the whole house, even the chicken coop, but couldn't find a single egg. She pouted in frustration.
Gu Qinghuan directly picked up a tomato, rubbed it, put it to his mouth and took a bite.
“It’s delicious even when eaten directly!”
Seeing that she didn't despise her, Wang Ruolan became happy again.
After they had prepared lunch, a middle-aged woman's voice came from the door: "Ruojun, is the meal ready?"
Wang Ruolan hurried out.
"Ruolan, you're back! I told you that you would be back in the next two days, but your dad didn't believe it." The woman looked her daughter up and down and a smile appeared on her face.
Wang Ruolan told the couple about the teacher’s home visit, and they were a little at a loss as to what to do.
They had never had a home visit by a teacher before, and were very nervous. Looking at their clothes covered in mud, they wanted to go back to their room to change into clean clothes, but they felt that was too deliberate.
Especially when they saw Gu Qinghuan walking out of the kitchen, their inferiority and cowardice reached its peak.
My goodness, teacher Ruolan looks like a fairy from heaven.
Gu Qinghuan deliberately wore her old clothes today. They were gray and plain, for fear that they would scare the parents and make them feel distant from her.
