The opening ceremony was originally scheduled to end at 10: 30 in the morning, but it was dragged to 11 because the head teacher spoke for too long.
The parent-teacher conference for class 3-3 was set at 2: 00 in the afternoon. Auntie Ren and my dad would both be attending. What was special was that the person attending the meeting for the class leader wasn't her chubby auntie.
The class leader's mother applied for a leave of absence from the vaccine research institute she worked at and flew back from Shanghai to attend the parent-teacher conference.
No matter what, her daughter and son were both in their third and second year. No matter how busy she was, she still had to come back at this time to learn about the siblings' studies and living conditions.
I'm not sure if she'll leave on the same day after the parent-teacher meeting or if she'll stay for two more days. In short, the class leader will be happy that her mother is back. She will only put down her responsibility in front of her parents and show the immaturity and immaturity of a 14-year-old girl — — even if it's not much.
To be honest, I really wanted to see the class leader's mother. She left a deep impression on me in the family photo I saw in the class leader's room.
She had the beauty of a movie star. Even if she showed a peace sign in front of the camera, it couldn't hide her natural elegance. It was hard to believe that the class leader's mother was a researcher at the vaccine research institute, and she even held an important position.
I don't have a time machine, so I can't see what the class leader would look like in the future. But it's the same for the class leader's mother. Even if the mother and daughter don't look exactly the same, there shouldn't be too much of a difference. Seeing the 'mature version of Shu Sha' in advance was still a big temptation for me.
So after the ceremony, I didn't rush home like the other students. Instead, I stayed on the field and played basketball with Liu HuaiShui and the others.
There was no risk of a heart attack when I took turns shooting like this. Plus, I could still endure 3 minutes of strenuous exercise. It was enough for me to do a layup, and the time I saved could be used for a bubble pose.
Xiao Qin followed me like a little tail and watched me shoot. But she remained silent most of the time (because there were boys on the court), so everyone was already used to it.
"Ye Lin." Liu HuaiShui hugged the basketball and said, "I came up with a 'spin backwards shot' during the summer break, do you want to try defending against me?"
I curled my lips. "Forget it. It sounds like a huge trick. Just don't injure yourself when you use it."
Next to me was a tall basketball enthusiast I didn't know. He was curious about Liu HuaiShui's innovation, so the two of them started to fight under the basket. Liu HuaiShui's shot was indeed tricky, but I didn't see any 'drift' or 'spin', only the 'lean' was real.
"Aiya, I didn't finish it well this time! Again! "
Looks like Liu HuaiShui wouldn't rest until he tripped and fell today.
Today wasn't the official start of school, so the cafeteria wasn't open. I took Xiao Qin to the food street for lunch and treated her to seafood fried rice.
"It's delicious ~ (≧ ▽ ́)/~" Xiao Qin said with satisfaction after she finished a large bowl of seafood fried rice.
But when it was time to pay the bill, Xiao Qin rushed to pay the boss. Since I didn't have any change, the boss took Xiao Qin's money and it became Xiao Qin's treat.
"If you don't take out your change, the boss will take my money." I complained to Xiao Qin when we left the restaurant, "I was going to ask for some change!"
"If you need change, I have it here, I can give it to you …" Xiao Qin held her small wallet in her hand and said sincerely.
"Hey, what are you thinking! Are you going to treat me to meals, spend money, and slowly pay me back just because I promised to buy you a new phone? I haven't even bought you a phone yet! "
"Aiya, you saw through me!"
Xiao Qin tilted her head and lightly hit the top of her head with the hand holding the wallet. At the same time, she stuck out her tongue to act cute.
"I remember Auntie Ren reduced your allowance as punishment because she found out you were still in contact with your dad. Let me see, how much do you have left in your wallet? "
Xiao Qin unzipped her wallet, raised both hands in front of her and obediently let me see.
She even said with a slightly red face: "Ye Lin classmate saw the inside of my shameful wallet …"
It's the inside of my wallet, not yours! Also, what's there to be shy about? Is it because there's not much money left, so you're shy!
I took a rough look, there was only a bit more than 70 dollars left, there were still two coins inside. In other words, including the 30 dollars she gave out for the meal, Xiao Qin only had a total of 100 dollars on her.
Now that prices are so high, a lot of elementary school students carry around 400 or 500 dollars. It's too pitiful for a middle school student like Xiao Qin to only have 100 dollars.
"What happened? Did Auntie Ren reduce your allowance by that much? "I asked," You probably spent all that money on random things! "
"The allowance my mom gives me is quite reasonable, it's about the same as what Winnie gets." Xiao Qin put away her shriveled wallet, "But I used most of my allowance to buy manga tutorials and tools, it's really expensive …"
"I recently bought a series of manga master lectures, it's the Lin Huang 'insert' Kakuomaru series. One book sold for over 30 dollars, and there were over ten books in total, it made my wallet bleed …"
Hey, this manga series was recommended to you by Little Smart, right? Please note that the authors are "Lin Huang" and "Kakimaru"! The title "Hayashi x Kakimaru" on the cover was a collaboration between the two of them! Please don't pronounce it as insert! You even tainted the innocence of a Japanese manga artist!
"Also, I'm currently serializing 'Cthulhu Also Wants to Fall in Love'. Although there are people who are jealous of my drawing skills and say I'm shameful because of my demonic aura, I will persevere and I will never become a eunuch!"
Actually, it's physically impossible for you to become a eunuch …
"In order to improve my painting efficiency, I begged my mother to buy me a digital tablet. She agreed, but she wanted me to pay half of it from my pocket money, and she would pay the other half. So, after a while, my wallet became too small …"
Auntie Ren's actions are understandable. A lot of parents spend a lot of money to buy pianos, guitars, drums, treadmills, fat shaving machines, and stomach-building planes. In the end, it's all because of a whim. After three minutes of passion, they would be thrown into a corner to collect dust.
Letting the child participate in the purchase with their own allowance can let the child know how to treasure it, and make sure the child 'really wants it', and not just casually saying it.
"Eh? Does that mean you've already bought a digital tablet? "
"Not yet." Xiao Qin looked at her feet with a bit of disappointment and kicked the pebbles next to her shoes, "I'll have to wait until next month to save enough money for a beginner level digital tablet. I'm still using a dipping pen for now, then I'll use the fax machine at home to scan it and process it on the computer …"
I laughed: "Do you want me to sponsor you a bit? That way you can use the digital tablet earlier. "
It's not that I have too much allowance to spend (Shu Zhe gets more allowance from his sister), it's just that I don't treat Xiao Qin as an outsider. I don't think it's inappropriate to help her buy a digital tablet even if I have to use the money from my bank account. We'll become a family anyway.
"No, please don't …" Xiao Qin hurriedly refused, "I'm already embarrassed when you said you wanted to buy me a phone, I'll repay you with my body in the future …"
"Hey! What's the second half of your sentence? What are you whispering about? Speak louder and say it clearly! "
"I … I didn't say anything …" Xiao Qin turned her face away and mumbled, "I just said that when Winnie was my assistant, she heard I wanted to buy a digital tablet, so she generously offered to sponsor me with her own allowance. I was very touched, but I didn't agree …"
Winnie was always very professional when it came to being a best friend. She would do her best to help her best friend achieve their dreams and wishes. Although the money she sponsored Xiao Qin might not be her own pocket money, it could also be the money she got from running errands for Ai Mi — — but so what?
I saw that Xiao Qin was determined and wouldn't accept other people's help with the tablet, so I didn't force her. I only told her not to fight with me over the bill when she only had ¥70 left. She also told her not to worry about using the tablet in a few days and not to push herself too hard. She also told her to save most of her pocket money.
"Do you still have money in your meal card? If you don't have money to eat, you have to come find me. You're not allowed to go hungry! "
In the new socialist China, if a 14-year-old girl in the puberty period had no money to eat, it would be a terrible tragedy. It would make the beloved Chairman Mao so angry that he would sit up from his crystal coffin and lead the workers, peasants, and soldiers to carry out a vigorous redistribution of social wealth.
"I understand." Xiao Qin said in a low voice, "According to my calculations, I should have enough allowance to last until next month. If it's really not enough, I'll use the budget for the digital tablet. I definitely won't go hungry, because if I don't develop well, Ye Lin classmate won't even be satisfied with me paying with my body …"
"Hey! Did you say the terrible word 'paying with my body'? Don't say it again! If you don't say terrible words for a week, I'll give you a gold star! "
"Okay, okay!" Xiao Qin quickly agreed, "Anyway, there's an ancient saying: You'll eat if you follow Ye Lin classmate. If I really run out of food, I'll come ask for food from Ye Lin classmate … "
"Don't say it like you're my pet!"
Xiao Qin continued to say pitifully: "Just give me cat food, no need to soak it in milk, Ye Lin classmate's milk is very precious …"
"Are you talking about the milk that's in the fridge? It should be, right? If it's not, I'll deduct your stars! "
Xiao Qin no longer joked with me after I threatened to deduct her stars. She never questioned why I stayed near the school and didn't go home. It was as if she would feel happy as long as she was by my side.
After dinner, I slowly brought Xiao Qin to the school gate. I felt like I wanted to see the class leader's mother, but I couldn't explain it to Xiao Qin.
Right when I was worrying, I saw the class leader walking out of the school building. The adult female next to her was clearly talking to the class leader, and she was walking with large strides. It was difficult for the class leader to keep up.
