Chapter 36： (1/2)
Ye Lu looked at Miaomiao in her eyes as if she was looking at a little fool, ”Of course it is because it is very hard for my father to make money to support the family. You think, her mother has no job, and the whole family is supported by her father's work. That's it. It is equivalent to saying that the money made by her father alone must be spent on three people. We usually spend very little money on food, so we don’t need to save on food, but it’s expensive to buy clothes. Of course we have to save it.”
Miaomiao: ”...???” What is she talking about? Isn't it cheap to buy clothes? Their family can't afford too expensive things, but clothes have always been affordable!
Miaomiao looked down at his new clothes, thought about it carefully, and understood.
It may be that the food they said is different. The meal cost in the school is 8 yuan a meal, so cheap, maybe Ye Lu said that the meal is to eat the school meals. The food in the school doesn’t taste very good, so it’s cheap. Ye Lu just said that after eating, he can’t afford to buy clothes, right?
From this point of view, other little friends are really in a difficult situation at home.
Miaomiao frowned and felt that she had to keep a low profile. Although their family doesn't have much money, it seems to be a lot better compared to her classmates' house. It's not that the classmates are not happy. She will spend money in the future, and she has to remind her of taro!
Otherwise, other little friends will be unhappy.
”So, I didn't know it before.” Miaomiao nodded.
Ye Lu continued to say, ”Miaomiao, is your family rich? You have a lot of pocket money every day, should you have 20 yuan? And I think you wear new clothes every day, your clothes. They all look good.”
Many children of this age love beauty, but the children still don’t know how to wear clothes, and parents don’t want to wear good-looking clothes for their children every day. This makes Miaomiao especially special.
Even if she tried to keep a low profile and didn't tell others how much money she had in her family, her classmates could still feel it. Miaomiao's family was rich.
Who doesn't have money to change clothes every day to go to school? Except for the school uniform for the Monday morning meeting, Miaomiao's clothes were not repeated at other times.
Miaomiao sent the small pieces behind her ears and said, ”No, my mother said, our family doesn't have a lot of money.”
”Oh, there is money, but not a lot of money!” Ye Lu nodded madly. I thought it might be that Miaomiao's mother was more humble, or that Miaomiao's mother's definition of being rich was different from that of her family.
Maybe people are rich but don't think they are rich, and they think they need to be richer. What is rich?
Rich people are so generous and scared!
After class, Miaomiao told Qin Yu of her thoughts. She whispered quietly as if two people were talking about important secrets. Qin Yu thought that there was something important at first, so after listening Later, the expression on the face was hard to express.
He looked at Miaomiao for a long time, then nodded and agreed. But I was wondering, why is Miaomiao so smart in learning, but in terms of money, he just can't turn around?
Miaomiao didn’t notice Qin Yu’s doubts at all. After all, in her opinion, what her mother said was definitely right. In the past, there were also many small friends in Little Star Kindergarten who used pocket money of 20 or 30 yuan a day. of.
Her pocket money is gradually increasing step by step, from 20 to 50 to 100, so she feels that the children in the former little star kindergarten must now have a few large pockets of eleven hundred yuan. Therefore, she is the normal pocket money for most children every day.
Ye Lu's allowance for 2 yuan a day is abnormal.
For the next period of time, Jin Luan was the same in school as before. No one played with her. She was always alone, and eventually transferred to another school.
Miaomiao heard that the first graders were not familiar with them in the first semester when they first came to school, so there were no activities. They had to wait for the second semester to start. Then they would have spring outings and sports meets. It is said that there will be games to give gifts on the Children’s Day of the school!
Elementary school holidays are quite early. After the final exams, Miaomiao returned home and returned to school a few days later to get her transcript, so she knew her grades.
In order to let everyone have a good year in this exam, the questions are relatively simple, and there are additional questions in Chinese and mathematics.
Chinese has not yet written an essay, and the additional questions are described by looking at pictures, and mathematics is a bit over-the-top as usual. Miaomiao scored 200+13 points, which is considered a relatively high score. He is still second in the class, and Qin Yu is the first one. He is 200+20 this time.
Fu Rou learned that her baby was second in the exam again, and it was not surprising to hear that the first was Qin Yu. She didn't say to ask Miaomiao to cheer, she will be the first one next time, because she feels... her own baby should not be able to surpass it, after all, her parents are both science champions!
Fu Rou never encourages Miaomiao to do things that are hopeless, because she is worried that her child will be sad if she fails to work hard. Anyway, Miaomiao's grades are not too bad.
When I went back to school after a new year, Miaomiao found that everyone had a lot of meat.
She was originally meaty, and she ate the same during the New Year as usual, because there were dancing lessons, but it was the few children in the class who did not get fat.
The school starts in early February. Everyone is busy this semester. Apart from studying, there is a spring outing at the end of March, a sports meet at the end of April, and Children's Day in early June.
The first and second grade children's spring outing is in the park. The teacher explained that they will leave at 9 o'clock in the morning and will eat in the park at noon. The children need to bring their own lunch boxes and prepare snacks.
Miaomiao started to prepare snacks a week before the spring outing. After she entered elementary school, her schoolbag became bigger, so naturally there were more snacks. She bought more than 100 snacks just to buy, and asked her mother if she had a lunch box at home to bring her there.
There are lunch boxes at home, and Fu Rou occasionally takes food to the company to see Wen Fuchen, so it is the size of an adult's appetite.
Fu Rou was still going to buy a small one for Miaomiao, so that it wouldn't take up any space.
On the day of the spring outing, the helper aunty got up early to prepare her lunch for Miaomiao, and put it in an insulated lunch box. Fu Rou put the small chopsticks and spoon in the cutlery box for Miaomiao, then put it in a bag and put it on her. At the bottom of the schoolbag, stuff snacks into it.
”The soup is too heavy to put in, so I won't put it for you. Then go there and buy some water for yourself.” Fu Rou carried her schoolbag on her back and asked, ”Will it be too heavy?”
”No.” Miaomiao shook his head, snacks are relatively light, that is, a lunch box is a bit heavy.
After leaving the house, Miao Miao and Xiong Da Xiong Er got in the car together, ready to leave for school.
The locations of the first and second grade spring outings are the same. The three children’s small schoolbags contain snacks and lunch boxes. If it weren’t for the teacher’s stipulation that everyone had to act in the entire class, Miaomiao would have thought of over there and then four of them would play together.
When Miaomiao sat down in the class, it was almost nine o'clock. Today's spring outing starts in the fifth and sixth grades, then the third and fourth grades, and then the first and second grades.
Miaomiao put down her schoolbag and looked at Qin Yu: ”Taro, what food did you bring today?”
”My father prepared me with braised pork and rib soup.” Qin Yu said shyly, ”Miaomiao, do you want to eat with me?”
”Okay!” Miaomiao went to Qin Yu's house to play several times, but because his father was busy with work, he rarely cooks, but only those few times, she also remembered that Qin Yu's father cooked delicious food!
”Then give you some of mine, and we will eat together.” Miaomiao said, couldn't help licking her lower lip, and began to look forward to it in her heart.
After the teacher came, he counted the number of people, and then said: ”The car is coming to pick us up. Now everyone is on the corridor, line up first, and hold hands when going out. The girl stands in the front and the boy stands in the back.”
When Miaomiao heard this, she knew that she could not go out hand in hand with her little tablemate, so she chose to stand with Ye Lu in the last row of girls, and Qin Yu was standing behind her.
The children in the eight classes of the first grade have all come out and stood in the corridor. The children are all talking with their little friends, looking a little noisy.
The teacher made sure that everyone was in line, and then said, ”Everyone, be quiet.”
The children calmed down obediently, and then the teacher said: ”We are going to leave soon. First, please make sure that you have all your belongings. Wait for the queue to get on the car. There will be garbage bags on the car. Everyone who has eaten and has garbage should put it in the front garbage bag, and then take the bag out of the car.”
”Good boy can't leave trash in the car, do you understand?”
”Understand~”
”Okay, now follow the teacher, we are going to set off.”
This is the first collective activity for everyone since the first grade of elementary school. The children are very happy, and they also follow the teacher obediently and come to the gate of the school.
Miaomiao was in the first grade, and got on the bus first. After everyone got on the bus, the teacher counted the number of people, and he was sure that there was no problem. Then he let the driver drive.
There was a small white garbage bag in front of everyone's seat. Miaomiao took out a bucket of potato chips from the bag, opened the package, and started to eat, and also gave Ye Lu a lot of food.
Ye Lu's family conditions are average, and she didn't buy many snacks this spring outing.
Miaomiao has always been a child who likes to share, especially if she is a friend. She is happy to give food to her friends.
Ye Lu opened the small schoolbag, took out the only two packets of potato chips in it, unpacked a packet, and ate with Miaomiao.
Seeing that she buys few potato chips, Miaomiao felt that she was definitely not enough to eat, and immediately said: ”I'll eat mine, I bought a lot, I feel I can't finish it!”
Ye Lu looked at the potato chips in Miaomiao's bag enviously, and said, ”Miaomiao, I am so envious of you. I came to Spring Outing this time. My mother said that I have to pay 50 yuan for Spring Outing. Lots of snacks. However, my brother and they have to pay 80 yuan for the spring outing, and my mother bought a whole bag of snacks for my brother.”
Miaomiao thought for a while and said, ”Is it because your brother is older and can eat better?”
Ye Lu shook her head aggrievedly, ”No, my parents love my elder brother. Since he was in elementary school, my elder brother has five yuan in pocket money every day, and I only have two bucks a day. Every time my brother goes back to the spring and autumn outings, It is possible to participate. This spring outing, my mother originally didn't want me to come, and wanted me to study hard at home. I cried for a long time before she agreed.”
Miaomiao chatted with her in a low voice, only then did she understand the situation in Ye Lu's family. Her parents love her elder brother more, although they do not care less, but the good ones are given to elder brother first, and the rest are given to her.
Ye Lu can have 2 yuan in pocket money a day because she and her mother have told her that she will come for a long time. Her brother is now in the third grade of elementary school, and they belong to the same school.
In fact, Miaomiao felt that two yuan and five yuan were quite small, and there was no difference, but for Ye Lu, it was very different.
This spring outing, each of the students has to pay a fee of 50 yuan. They do not need to pay tickets to enter the park, but the items in the park require entrance fees, and the shuttle bus also costs money.
Ye Lu’s mother originally didn’t want her to come to the spring outing, so she thought it would be better to study hard at home, but Ye Lu cried at home because her brother participated in the spring outing and autumn outing every year, and her grades in the class are also very good. , You don’t need to study at home at all, you can have fun with your classmates.
