The west side of the city was one of the places with the highest concentration of primary and middle schools, including the public security kindergarten, public security kindergarten, Mianmian Alley kindergarten, and No.13 High School.
On the first day of school, it was crowded, and traffic jams were inevitable.
Parents were not allowed to enter the classroom, so they could only put their children at the door. The teacher took the attendance sheet, recorded the names, and coaxed them into the classroom.
Li Lan looked at Li He, and then at Old Madam He. He didn't want to go in.
Li He felt around in his pocket, and took out a piece of chocolate. He handed it to Li Lan. "Take it, go in."
This was what Li Lan had secretly hidden in his pocket. Li He had found it in the morning. Children at this age had a high incidence of dental caries, so they couldn't eat too much.
Li Lan was finally led in by the teacher. He stood in the middle of a large group of slightly older children.
"I can't bully him." Old Madam He, like many parents, leaned against the door, squinted, and wanted to see the children's performance.
However, these sneaky figures looked like human traffickers waiting for an opportunity to strike if they were not in the know.
"You have to ask your daughter." Li He also looked in through the window. He did seem relatively small among the group of children, because this was the middle class.
According to the step-by-step plan, Li Lan should continue to study in the small class this semester, but He Fang insisted that Li Lan be promoted to the middle class, and then he could go directly to the big class in the fall semester. When he was five years old, he could go to primary school.
The children in the middle class were one or two years older than Li Lan.
In terms of children's education, Li He had no say, so He Fang could do whatever she wanted. After all, kindergarten was all about playing, and there was no difference between the small class and the middle class. Although kindergarten also had homework, it didn't matter much.
"It's not good to put too much pressure on the child." Old Madam He also had no say, and she couldn't persuade her daughter.
"It's okay, that's how it is." Li He didn't care. If the child didn't have pressure in school, that would be terrible. Education, under the surface of equality, was a very delicate hidden tool to create class division and maintain class rigidity.
Everyone was advocating the so-called quality education. Students should be happy, start from their interests, and reduce their burdens. There were no problems with these, but exam-oriented education should not be looked down upon.
There was nothing wrong with exam-oriented education. In any country in the world, if one wanted to enter a higher school, they would have to look at their results.
Quality education was like a communist utopia, without any standards or content. Compared to a truly reliable education model, it was more like a beautiful slogan.
Not only was He Fang disdainful, but even Li He was too lazy to look at it.
The world seemed to be particularly cruel to poor children. Only the rich had the right to say, "Child, take your time."
Those with money and power did not need to rely on education to make a comeback. If they were lazy in their studies, then so be it. After all, they could still go abroad to gain experience.
Of course, Li He was rich, but he was still on the same side as He Fang. He still looked at the children's exam results.
As it happened, many of the children at the bottom were also fooled. They numbed themselves, abandoned themselves, and cheered for joy. They even used the so-called foreign classrooms that they speculated were like paradise to justify their stupid and lazy lives.
That would truly be beyond redemption.
It was unfortunate to be born poor in this day and age. In addition, he was stupid and didn't even know that he had been betrayed. Laziness was incurable. There was no other reason, he was just lazy and stupid.
Li He was stubborn, but he still stood at the classroom door for a while until the school began to drive the parents away. Only then did he leave the school gate.
When he returned home, Li He remembered to find a reliable person to take his children to and from school.
It was easy to find someone to take children to and from school, but it was not easy to find someone who could drive. Pinsong, Lu Bo, and Xiaowei knew how to drive, but Li He did not know how to do it. It would be a waste of talent to look for them.
Li He thought for a long time but had no clue, so he called Xiaowei over to discuss.
Xiaowei hesitated. "There is someone suitable."
"Who?"
"Brother, don't think too much when I say it." Xiaowei saw that Li He was about to lose his temper, so she hurriedly said, "It's Yu Yao. She knows how to drive, but brother, don't worry, I have no contact with her now."
"I remember that she is not working at the gear factory. Everything is fine, right? Why would she be happy? " Because Yu Yang had been following Zhu Changchang to work on the Motor City project, Li He had met him several times along the way, so he knew a little about his family.
Xiaowei said, "The gear factory has been unable to pay her salary for a long time. She stays at home every day. If you look for her, she will definitely agree."
Li He sneered. "If you don't care about her, how would you know that she stays at home every day?"
"Brother, you have wronged me! How far can we live? She walks back and forth in front of her house every day. How can I not notice? You can't just say that! If that Yang bitch finds out, she will tear me apart! "Xiaowei said dejectedly. Yang Fugui was much more ruthless than him when he was angry.
"Then go and ask her. If she is willing, I have no problem with it." Li He thought that this was a suitable candidate. "Two hundred a month. You only need to drive her to and from school. You don't need to do anything else."
"Okay." Xiaowei agreed. "I will go now."
"Oh, right." Li He stopped him again. "Ask Pig Dacheng to send me a good car. It must have a high chassis."
He had enough of this Volkswagen Jetta that was full of wind.
"Got it." Xiaowei put on his sunglasses and immediately went to do it.
Xiaowei had not returned yet, but Pig Dacheng and Yu Yang had arrived.
Li He did not speak to him. He only looked at the car parked in front of the door.
"What car is this?" The car was round. From the logo, it looked like a Volvo. However, he had never seen this model before.
"Volvo 760. You can't find more than a few in the country. 182 horsepower inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine. The acceleration time of 100 km/h is controlled within 8 seconds. " Seeing that Li He was interested, Pig Dacheng began to talk with assurance. "Not only is it equipped with ABS, airbags, etc., but it also has a unique electronic traction system, air conditioning, audio, cruise control system, and sunroof."
"Give me the keys." Li He took the keys, tried it, and smiled. "Good car."
In essence, this was a touring sports car. Li He thought that when the road conditions were right, he could drive this car back to his hometown.
"Bro, as long as you like it."
"How much is it? I will pay you." Li He put the keys into his pocket.
Pig Dacheng laughed. "Bro, bro, you're embarrassing me. Our car company is funded by you. You don't need to spend money on your own stuff. "
Li He asked, "Can this account match?"
Pig Dacheng smiled sheepishly. "Yes, yes."
If it didn't match, wouldn't he have to pay?
"Cut the crap. How much is it?"
"Seven hundred and fifty thousand." Seeing that Li He was getting impatient, Pig Dacheng quickly said.
Li He went into the house and came out after a while. He threw a plastic bag at Pig Dacheng. "Count it yourself."
"No need, this …" Li He's expression finally forced Pig Dacheng to count the money carefully. "Yes, bro."
"How's Car City doing?" Li He threw him a cigarette and asked about serious matters.
"Brother Lu Bo helped me. The Dongcheng government has basically agreed to the project plan. It's a total of 120,000 square meters. Currently, there are more than ten car companies that are willing to settle in the Yao Jiayuan area. Dongfeng, FAW, Jeep, Toyota, Tianye, and Xiali are definitely not a problem." Pig Dacheng sometimes lamented the fickleness of fate. Thinking back to when he was young, he didn't even look at people like Lu Bo. But now, Lu Bo was slick and majestic. He was like a fallen phoenix, not even comparable to a chicken. "It's just, bro, it's going to cost a lot of money."
"Tianye?" Li He had never heard of it.
"Baoding Tianye Car Factory is also a state-owned enterprise." Speaking of cars, Pig Dacheng knew more than Li He.
"I won't be short of money. You can leave if there's nothing else. If there's anything else, you can discuss it with Lu Bo." After Li He said that, he said to Yu Yang, "You stay here."
Li He left Yu Yang alone. Pig Dacheng left reluctantly.
