"Since high school, her grades have not been as good as before."

"She didn't send me her transcript. I found out about her test and test scores from my friends. They were much lower than when she was in the third grade of junior high school. I was a little angry at the time. Your sister comforted me and said that the county high school was

It is a key middle school, and it is also the best school in the entire state. There are many outstanding students from all over the country, and the environment is definitely better than the previous village-level middle schools. So it is reasonable that her test scores were low after entering school."

Hu Pingtao nodded: "That's the truth. When I was in junior high school, I could get into the top three in my grade. When I took the first exam in high school, I only got into the top twenty in my grade."

Su Zhicheng said: "When your sister said this, I felt relieved. I thought it was understandable that I had poor grades in the first year of high school, so I didn't care. After all, children need time to adjust. I was also busy at that time and had issues in school.

, when the new students entered the school and the teaching was adjusted, I didn’t go down to see her like before, I just paid her monthly living expenses.”

"The next year I took a vacation and took your sister down to see her. But after arriving at school, the head teacher said that her grades were very poor. She was at the bottom of the class and her exam ranking was also at the bottom of her grade. I was very surprised all of a sudden.

I found her and asked what was going on. The girl said that she was under a lot of pressure to study and the courses were difficult. She also said that the teacher spoke in a strong dialect when giving lectures and that she couldn't understand... In short, it was all kinds of excuses."

"I'm very angry! You know Pingtao. I teach in a university and I know very well that student learning is a difficult process. If you don't listen in class and don't work hard, it's just a fool's errand to get high scores in the exam. And I'm in her

The investment in my body was not small. Living expenses plus tuition fees were already more than 10,000 yuan at that time. I usually don’t have much.

Hobby, your sister usually buys clothes and shoes. I spend my money to buy some vegetables and fruits after get off work and on weekends. I usually have no more than two hundred dollars at most. I spent so much on her all at once. If I have good academic performance, That's all, but she became completely different after she entered high school... Tell me, tell me, I feel so uncomfortable."

Hu Pingtao nodded slightly: "It's understandable that you treat her as your own child and have too high expectations."

Su Zhicheng sighed: "This is nothing. I asked her teacher for her phone number and contacted her frequently. The class teacher said that she started dating in the first semester of high school, following those in the class who had poor academic performance but poor family environment.

Nice boys hanging out together.”

Hu Pingtao smiled: "You mature very early!"

Su Zhicheng frowned: "I'm against puppy love, especially in high school. If you don't work hard for three years to take the college entrance examination, you might as well go directly to Du Technical School and technical secondary school during the high school entrance examination."

Hu Pingtao knew that Su Zhicheng was a die-hard person and did not dare to offend him in this regard. He nodded quickly and said: "I'm just saying it casually, don't take it seriously. Brother-in-law, please continue."

"She doesn't even think about it, can she compare with those people?" Su Zhicheng became angry as he spoke, raising his hand and slamming the table: "There are only two types of people who can enter key middle schools. Either they have excellent academic performance,

Either the family has money or connections. The upper one is pure, the lower one is dirty. In fact, it is a microcosm of society. Personal power is small and cannot change all this.

Being in it, the only thing she can do is to maintain herself, and those who are clean will be clean themselves. But she was good, and took the initiative to become someone else's girlfriend... I asked her later why she did this? She said she had no choice, those students no matter their family background

Or the wealth is far beyond her imagination. She used to live in poverty in the village, but she felt dazzled when she came to a key high school."

"According to school rules, high school students are not allowed to put on makeup, wear fancy clothes, or use mobile phones in school. However, school rules cannot limit comparisons between students. Let's talk about shoes! It was the first time she knew the difference between Anta and aj. She used to be in

In the village, a box of "Pechoin" that cost more than ten yuan a box was considered high-end cosmetics to her. She didn't know about brands like Chanel and Estee Lauder until she was in high school."

Hu Pingtao's expression became serious: "Why, she had a relationship with other boys in high school?"

"That's not true." Su Zhicheng shook his head and sighed: "She is a scheming person. She is good-looking, and she also feels weak and weak to others. Some boys even fought over the identity of her boyfriend.

.When the dean called everyone for questioning, she said she didn’t know anything.”

Hu Pingtao laughed again when he heard this: "To be able to achieve this level at such a young age is such a beauty!"

Su Zhicheng said unhappily: "I asked her if she wanted to get married early? She said that was not entirely the case. In the middle schools in the village, the student level was generally not high. When we came to high schools, there were many students who were good at academics.

She cannot maintain a high-end ranking, and her hopes for the college entrance examination in three years are getting smaller and smaller. This idea is actually normal. She feels that she cannot surpass others academically.

People would choose a retreat early... But she didn't want to think about what a high school graduate could do? Even if she has a pretty face and finds a man with a good family background to marry, what can she do later? Marriage and marriage are all important.

A well-matched one. Of course I don't deny that love is the key to marriage, but you have to consider whether the other person's family is willing to accept you."

"I was very annoyed at the time. After all, it has been more than two years since we decided to support her. Your sister and I really treat her as a daughter. Her family doesn't care about her at all and doesn't give her a penny. Her tuition, miscellaneous fees, and book fees

, we pay for living expenses and everything else. The tuition fee is not big, it is mainly living expenses. Although the standard is not as good as Xiaotao, it is not too small. When she was in the first year of high school, we gave her three hundred yuan a month.

Accommodation fees and other expenses are calculated separately.”

Hu Pingtao nodded slowly: "It's indeed quite a lot."

"Later she changed her mind." Su Zhiheng said: "Speaking of which, the parents of the boys who fell in love with her played a role. The school called the parents to the school because of this matter, and they knew that their children were related to this girl.

The time is not clear. In the eyes of parents, this is counterproductive. Originally, I finally entered a key high school just for the purpose of taking the college entrance examination three years later, let alone getting into it when I first entered.

They relied on various connections and spent a large amount of sponsorship money. The children were not sensible, and the parents were not confused. In addition, the semester was about to end, so each family thought of their own way. Some borrowed it and transferred to other schools;

Some have gone abroad; others have made repeated orders to their families: If you get together with that girl again, get out... Anyway, after being messed with like this, the boys surrounding her suddenly dispersed."

"There is a boy whose father is a dealer of Mercedes-Benz in the prefecture. Ping Tao, think about it, how could a family with this background want a daughter-in-law like her?"

Hu Pingtao said lightly: "The little girl is ignorant and wants to fly up a branch and become a phoenix."

"Since then, she has become more honest." Su Zhiheng said: "Maybe it was stimulated by reality, or maybe she finally realized that besides studying hard, she had no better way out. Anyway, she never fell in love again, but every time

Write to me and ask for more money."

"Isn't three hundred yuan a month enough?" Hu Pingtao asked sarcastically: "When I was in college, my dad only gave me five hundred yuan a month."

Su Zhiheng said: "She said she wanted me to buy her a mobile phone, but mobile phones are not allowed in school. I discussed with your sister and felt that it is impossible to completely ban mobile phones in today's society. Especially during the winter and summer vacations, students

It is very common to use mobile phones to surf the Internet, so I bought her a Huawei. I asked a friend to bring her the newly bought mobile phone. The next week she wrote a letter complaining about me, saying that she was happy for nothing and thought she

I bought her apples..."

Hu Pingtao really didn't know what to say. He began to understand Su Zhiheng: "Does my sister know about this?"

Su Zhiheng nodded: "This person has changed so much. I later figured it out, just support it. Anyway, your sister and I have a clear conscience. Since we have decided to help her go to school, we will do the best until she takes the college entrance examination."

, depending on the situation, we will decide whether to continue the financial support after the college entrance examination."

"She noticed the change in our attitude, and the letters came less and less. I kept in touch with her class teacher and said that she often lost her mind during class. Although her grades improved, the increase was not big, and she basically stayed at the bottom.

There are about ten of them."

"The summer vacation before the college entrance examination, she came to the provincial capital to find me and went directly to my home. Your sister and I were very surprised. She brought some dried chili peppers and potato chips, both of which were made at home. She said she wanted to go to college.

She expressed a lot of thanks and said that she was young and ignorant before, and begged us to continue to support her in her studies."

Hu Pingtao was startled for a moment, then realized: "Most high school students are stubborn and have strong personalities. She can say such things, and she feels completely different... Wait, brother-in-law, you just said she was in the class

Her grades were ranked low, but she asked you to admit her mistakes at that time...Why, she has no confidence in the college entrance examination?"

Su Zhiheng's voice was a little heavy: "You guessed it... I have talked about this with her class teacher on the phone before. Her academic performance is not good. According to the scores in the mock test, she can only take three books at most.

"

Hu Pingtao suddenly understood: "The compulsory education in the country is only nine years, and it costs money to go to college, not to mention that three books are not as good as one, and it costs more."

Su Zhiheng said gloomily: "It is impossible for her family to come up with the money for her to go to school. Later I went to her home and talked to her parents about schooling. Her stepfather's attitude was very firm: If she goes to college

It costs money, so I won’t study anymore, just go home and find a man to marry and receive the bride price.”

Hu Pingtao sighed: "She refused to accept such an arrangement."

"Yes!" Su Zhiheng also hated iron and steel: "If I had known that this would be the result, why didn't I study hard at the beginning? Your sister and I provided her with various conveniences, but in the end she had difficulty in taking all three exams.

.”

Hu Pingtao said: "I know my sister's temperament well. If I guess correctly, my sister must have said some nasty things at that time?"

Su Zhiheng said frankly: "Your sister almost pointed at her nose and cursed."

Hu Pingtao asked with interest: "What happened next?"

"I gave her some money and asked her to go back and take advantage of the holidays to review hard and try to improve her test scores." Su Zhiheng spread his hands: "Your sister is cold-faced and warm-hearted. Although she talks a lot,

She said it in a bad way, but later she softened her heart and thought that three would be enough. As long as she can pass the exam, she will treat it as a good thing and do it to the end."

"Ping Tao, think about it, what is the concept of three books? Although the score for taking three books is not high, it costs a lot of money, tens of thousands a year. When I funded her, I was thinking about her grades.

Okay, in the future, she will get into a good university, get a scholarship herself, and then give her some living expenses to become a useful person to society."

"If it were an ordinary family doing this, the burden would be huge."

Hu Pingtao tapped his fingers gently on the armrest of the chair and asked thoughtfully: "Brother-in-law, is she still in contact with you now?"

Su Zhiheng sighed: "During the college entrance examination, she called me and asked about filling in the application form. I told her that it would be more realistic to apply for a junior college, which would allow her to work earlier. She didn't want to, so she said yes

She must go to university. Later I found out that she enrolled in a branch of our university, one of the three majors co-sponsored by Capital, majoring in information management, with a tuition fee of 38,000 yuan a year."

"The branch of your university?" Hu Pingtao narrowed his eyes and asked: "In other words, she made up her mind from the beginning to come to the provincial capital to find you?"

"At that time, she didn't know that your sister and I decided to help her pay for the tuition." Su Zhiheng's face was full of worry: "She knew that I taught in the university and thought that through my relationship, she could help her reduce part of the tuition.

In fact, many educational institutions are jointly run now. Of course it is okay to say hello and do things between acquaintances, but when it comes to tuition exemptions... this is a joke. People spend money to run schools just to make money. Unless they are very close friends or relatives,

Otherwise, no one will help in vain."

Hu Pingtao asked: "Brother-in-law, are you upset because of this?"

Su Zhiheng raised his head, leaned back on the chair, and looked at the ceiling: "She took the college entrance examination last year and has been attending the School of Information Management for almost a year. Because of those things in the past, I never went to her. In your sister's words,

I have managed the university in the past few years and fulfilled my responsibilities and obligations. From now on, the road will be overturned and everyone will go their separate ways."

"Something happened the day before yesterday - a girl in her dormitory lost a set of cosmetics. The student department of the School of Information knew that I had been helping her pay the tuition, so they called me and asked me to come over and help deal with it.

"

Hu Pingtao's eyes flickered: "What brand of cosmetics? Did she steal it?"

"Estee Lauder is a high-quality set bought from abroad. Your sister often goes abroad on business trips. I asked her that that set is not available in China. It is only sold in designated stores in Europe. Buying a set is equivalent to RMB 1

More than eight thousand coins."
