Chapter 17(1/3)
Luo Yi was lost for a moment. She turned her black eyes and looked at Ye Xiaoyang like a ignorant little tit.
He had a calm expression and sat upright without any discomfort.
On the contrary, she herself... was too uneasy.
She glanced open her eyes and tried to drive away this strange feeling.
The rapid ringtone of the cell phone didn't allow her to think about it anymore, so she unzipped the zipper of her backpack and took out her phone.
It turned out to be Luo Hengzhou.
"Hey, Dad." She called out obediently.
"Xiao Yi, is the school on May Day today? " Luo Hengzhou is in Abuja, the capital of Nigeria, which is seven hours slower than Beijing time. It was just 9 o'clock in the morning.
"It's holiday." Luo Yi held her bag, crossed her legs, and shook the little white canvas shoes on her feet, "Today I went out for a spring outing with my classmates."
"Oh, have fun?"
"Yeah, I'm quite happy."
"Are you still used to it in a new school? Is anyone bullying you?"
"No one bullies me, everyone is very nice to me."
"That's good, dad is afraid you will be wronged."
"No." Luo Yi clenched the rivets on the bag.
"Did you dig well there?"
"It's still in the survey stage and construction has not started yet."
"Then you have to pay more attention to safety." Luo Yi was worried when he heard that the security in Africa was a bit messy, including mosquitoes, malaria, etc.
"Isn't it very hot there?" Luo Yi asked again.
"Fortunately, the temperature during the day is over 30, which is similar to that in domestic summer. Besides, with air conditioning, where can it be heated?"
"Oh." Luo Yi said muffled, "The classroom at No. 1 Middle School is not air conditioned yet."
When Luo Yi was in Tongze before, every classroom was equipped with air conditioners. For some reason, Xishui No. 1 Middle School is such a good school, but does not install air conditioners for students.
She had inquired about Qian Jiayun, and Qian Jiayun said, "Air conditioner? Only the teaching building of the third year of high school has air conditioners. The school leaders said that the first and second year of high school need to hone their will, so they do not install air conditioners."
Of course, the original intention of the school leaders may not be to temper the willpower of students, or perhaps it is just that there is no funding.
Anyway, I have been here for so many years, and it doesn’t make a student feel hot without installing an air conditioner.
However, the air conditioner in the leader's office kept turning around in summer, which was very cool.
"What? There is no air conditioner in your classroom?"
"There is no air conditioner in the dormitory." Luo Yi added, "I don't even install the fan, saying that I'm afraid we will catch a cold at night."
When Luo Hengzhou heard this, he was very immense.
How hot it would be if you don’t blow air conditioning for your children in summer.
I am just such a precious daughter. I am afraid of falling when I hold it in my hand, and afraid of melting when I hold it in my mouth. From childhood to adulthood, I have been a small flower raised in a greenhouse and cannot withstand the wind and rain.
"Xiaoyi, Dad will find someone to install air conditioners for your classroom and your dormitory now."
"Dad." Luo Yi's voice was soft, "Isn't this suitable? They don't have air conditioners."
She doesn't want special treatment.
Today she drank a can of coconut milk and was picked up. If the air conditioner was installed, outsiders might say what to say to her.
It doesn’t matter if she says she is too much, it will be bad for the class to be implicated.
"Oh..." Luo Hengzhou calmed down and felt that this was indeed inappropriate.
He thought for a while and said, "Then I will donate dozens of air conditioners to your school in my personal name."
This way, there will be no talk.
Luo Yi: "..."
Dad, can we keep a low profile? Is this a bit too ostentatious?
Luo Hengzhou did not allow her to question and said, "Let me ask you to contact your school leader and send the air conditioner as soon as possible."
Luo Yi no longer refuted, she was indeed afraid of heat.
It's just early May, and the temperature during the day is approaching 30 degrees. It's probably even hotter after May Day.
"When will you have summer vacation?" Luo Hengzhou changed the topic.
"I don't know, I guess it's July."
"Do you want to come to Africa to play?" Luo Hengzhou missed his precious daughter very much. "Kilimanjaro Mountain in Kenya, I heard that the snow on the top of the mountain will melt in 2020, and there will be no chance to not see it."
"Ah?" Luo Yi was surprised, "No way?"
Mount Kilimanjaro is known as the roof of Africa and is a textbook case for the geographically vertical climate zone. From the foothills to the top of the mountain, it can experience climate change throughout the year.
The famous writer Hemingway once wrote a novella called "The Snow of Kilimanjaro". Before Luo Yi had seen the Snow of Kilimanjaro, she was told that it was about to melt. How could this not make her feel regretful?
"What did Dad lie to you? There are many fun and good-looking things in Africa. Didn't you like to watch "Animal World" when you were a child? Dad took you to the East African savanna to watch the great animal migration."
Luo Yi was attracted, which sounded so tempting.
"When it's time for holidays, my dad will book you a plane ticket."
"Am I going alone?" Luo Yi asked. She was a minor and had not taken a plane alone. This was another international flight, and it was still a small African country like Nigeria. It was 80% going to transfer, and it was probably not a day or two that it would not be possible.
"Dad, see if there are any friends who want to come over and take you." Although minors can go through the service procedures for children without adults when taking the plane alone, Luo Hengzhou is definitely worried.
"At that time, book a first-class Emirates Airways flight and transfer from Dubai, you can sleep on the plane so that you won't be tired." Luo Hengzhou was afraid that Luo Yi would not come, so he naturally provided her with the best service.
"Would it be a bit expensive?" Luo Yi asked in a low voice. Emirates' first class has always been famous.
"It's okay, not expensive." The round trip was only about 20,000 US dollars, equivalent to about 100,000 yuan, which made Luo Yishu feel comfortable. Luo Hengzhou felt that this deal was very cost-effective.
"Okay then." Luo Yi agreed very readily.
Luo Hengzhou reminded Luo Yi a few more words before hanging up the phone.
After all this call, Luo Yi was no longer sleepy.
When she looked back, she looked at Ye Xiaoyang.
Alas, I almost forgot to have a big trouble sitting next to me.
"Your dad?"
"Yes." Luo Yi nodded, "He called to ask about my situation."
"Where is your dad mining?" Ye Xiaoyang continued to turn on the household registration check mode.
"Nigeria."
"so far away?"
"Yeah." Luo Yi said, "Now many Chinese people go there to mine."
The mining she mentioned is of course not to dig with a hammer with a mining lamp, nor to build a few mining machines to dig digital cryptocurrencies day and night. Instead, to use the money to contract mines and then carry out development, referred to as investment.
Such an investment is not too much or too little, but it cannot be operated without a large amount of tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars.
Ye Xiaoyang was silent for a long time and had to say, "Then your father has worked very hard."
"Well. He is very hard-working." Luo Yi agreed very much. Luo Hengzhou went to a small African country where birds and birds do not shit in order to make money to support his family. How can there be better conditions than the country? How can it not work hard?
Tongze has rich rare earth minerals, and Luo Hengzhou has made a lot of money in recent years.
Luo Yi has never lacked money since the day she was born, but she never felt that her family was rich.
Everyone wears school uniforms when they go to school, eats three meals a day, and sleeps in one bed at night.
Except for the larger house and more cars at home, Luo Yi felt that her family was no big difference from other people's houses.
If you want to say anything, it is probably that other people's family has a mother, but she doesn't have one. The grandparents and daughters live in big houses, which is very deserted.
Luo Hengzhou let her study in Kiryuze in order to facilitate her care.
He did not have any particularly high requirements for Luo Yi's academic performance, but only hoped that she would be healthy and safe.
If he hadn't been to Nigeria for a long time this time, he wouldn't have been willing to send Luo Yi to Xishui to school.
Ye Xiaoyang always feels something is wrong.
I just heard her talk to her father, but I was not as sad and miserable as I imagined. Instead, I had a spoiled spirit of my little daughter acting cute.
If Luo Yi’s father is a miner, how did she come to Xishui No. 1 Middle School?
Her grades should not be particularly outstanding.
What's more, no students who can even be re-educated from No. 1 Middle School are allowed to be transferred by grades alone, and their academic qualifications can be stuck.
Luo Yi's outfit looks quite simple, but the MCM's small backpack she was holding in her arms was worth thousands of dollars.
Although it is nothing compared to his mother Ji Shu's cabinet bag, high school students still have a little extravagance to use this kind of backpack.
