Chapter 50: (1/2)
When Miaomiao and Qin Yu returned to the classroom, Zhou Shu asked in a low voice, ”What's the matter?”
”There came three ugly boys who were beaten and said taro beat them. It's amazing, how can taro beat people! And they also said that they were beaten with sacks. Could it be that taro beat three people in one night? It's not so powerful.” Miaomiao said with a frown.
I always think that Qin Yu is a scheming boy's Zhou Shu: ”...” That's hard to say.
The teacher is still in class, and there is not much time before the high school entrance examination. Miaomiao was very serious in class.
Since the first semester was divided into classes, Miaomiao has successfully entered the key class. There is no doubt that Qin Yu was in the key class. Zhou Shu also came in. Qi Zheng's grades are also very good, and he is also a key class.
Most of the classmates in the class have changed. The sister Yan Jiatang who was looking for faults is also a key class, but there are two key classes. They are in the next class. Without these two people, Miaomiao's life has also been much more comfortable.
In the third year of junior high, the teacher's management was stricter, and the physical education classes were reduced, so that the time for physical education classes was preparing for physical examinations, and Miaomiao stopped jumping.
Miaomiao's grades are very stable. He is still the second in the school for ten thousand years. He is single-digit worse than Qin Yu every time.
For children with high scores, it is actually more difficult to improve their test scores. Because there is little room for improvement, she has long been accustomed to being the second child of ten thousand years. If anyone laughs at her for always being second When Qin Yu was overwhelmed, she would be ashamed to laugh at her if she couldn't even pass the second place test.
As she got older, Miaomiao's temperament began to develop. If anyone said something that made her unhappy, forget it if she didn't hear it, and frustrated her when she heard it.
After the physical education exam on that day, everyone went to the locker room to change their clothes and then went to the school cafeteria to eat.
It was late because of the change of clothes. There were a lot of people on the first floor of the cafeteria, and the four of them went to the third floor to eat. The consumption here is much higher than that on the first floor, and the number of people is relatively small.
Miaomiao's living expenses have changed from 7,000 to 15,000, because when Xiong Daxiong and his parents reported that when he went to eat in the school cafeteria last year, Xiong Daxiong often had to line up on the first floor. It took a long time and had to find a place for a long time. So their living expenses changed from 7,000 to 15,000, and they went to the third floor to eat every day.
I carry an English vocabulary book in my pocket. I read the vocabulary after I order food on the third floor, and eat it when the food comes, which saves time.
Miaomiao did not say that 7000 yuan a month seems to be a lot, but if you eat on the third floor every day, even if four people eat together, a meal will cost more than 100 per person, and a month’s meal will cost more than 5,000. , Not to mention utility bills, school supplies, snacks and drinks, and money to go out on weekends.
Miaomiao always felt that the conditions at home were not particularly good, so she didn't want to burden her parents. She never mentioned that she would rather line up on the first floor or buy some snacks on the second floor.
However, Jiang Fangfang told Fu Rou about this, and Fu Rou told Xia Chenxi when she knew about it. So Xiong Daxiong increased his pocket money on the second and third grades. Miaomiao and Qin Yu started at 15,000 a month on the second and second grades. I envy the dead bear and Daxiong II!
Zhou Shu and Qi Zheng went home after learning about this and reminded their parents tactfully that the conditions at home are not as good as Qin Yu and Miaomiao, but their parents are not short of money, and the children are doing well in school. When I entered the key class and often held parent meetings, I was praised by the teacher. Parents were not unwilling to give their children a few thousand yuan a month, but it also increased, but it was only 10,000 a month.
Zhou Shu originally paid 5,000 a month, but with 5,000 more, she was very satisfied, and compared with the living expenses of her classmates, she thought it was pretty good.
This afternoon, Zhou Shu was called to the office by the social thinking teacher to pick up the homework. She became the representative of the social thinking class. There were only 32 people in the class. The homework was not too heavy. Zhou Shu was taken by herself and did not disturb Miao. Miao learns.
Qin Yu felt a little thirsty, and planned to go to the commissary with Qi Zheng to buy some drinks. When he got up, he looked at Miaomiao, ”I'm going to the commissary, what do you want to buy, Miaomiao?”
”Um...I want a bottle of ice tea, please bring a bottle of Coke for Zhou Shu.” Miaomiao said.
”Okay.” Qin Yu got up, took the campus card and walked out of the classroom with Qi Zheng.
At this time, the monitor Zhao Keke and Zhao Xinxin, the representative of the Chinese class, who were sitting in front of Miaomiao, turned around.
The two are fraternal twins, and they are not exactly the same, but because they follow their mothers, they are still somewhat similar.
Zhao Keke asked, ”Miaomiao, let me ask you, is Qin Yu's family rich? I found out that the four of you go to the third floor to eat every day, and Qin Yu always brings you and Zhou Shu drinks.”
Miaomiao blinked innocently, and said, ”It should be quite rich, but it shouldn't be very rich. Our living expenses are similar.”
”How much do you have for living expenses? I also want to eat on the third floor, but to be honest, the prices on the third floor are not high. A few meals a week are fine, but like you do, eat twice a day, our spending We can't afford to spend money. We only have five thousand pocket money a month.” Zhao Xinxin said.
Miaomiao blinked innocently, and then said, ”...Qin Yu and I are fifteen thousand, and Zhou Shuhe and Qi are ten thousand.”
Zhao Keke, Zhao Xinxin: ”......???”
Seeing that Miaomiao didn't seem to be joking, the two sisters were shocked. Zhao Xinxin asked, ”You two will cost 15 thousand a month?”
Zhou Shu and Qi Zheng are a lot of 10,000 per month. It is estimated that besides them, there are also one or two people in the class, but they are only junior high school students for 15 years. They wear uniforms at school, and the clothes should be too. Let the parents buy it, right? That would cost fifteen thousand a month?
”Yes.” Miaomiao looked innocent. ”It was only added in the second grade. It was 7000 a month in the first grade.”
Zhao Keke and Zhao Xinxin are sour, and they are super sour.
Although I know that the home conditions of the children who can come to Hongde Middle School are not bad, it is really rare to have such a high cost of living directly from junior high school.
Think about the school’s tuition and dormitory fees for a year, that’s more than 30,000. If you include pocket money, the child’s annual expenses will also be more than 200,000, plus the money for daily clothes. The money for the cram school...
It takes so much money in the family to be willing to give so much to the children.
Zhao Keke sighed helplessly, and said: ”Sure enough, we are rich. When we were in elementary school, we felt that our family was quite rich, but when we went to junior high school, we found that it was really nothing.”
Zhao Keke and Zhao Xinxin’s family is in very good conditions, but after all, they are two sisters. If they have to raise two children, they will naturally spend more money than one child.
When I was in elementary school, I went to a public elementary school with a good school environment. The public elementary school does not require tuition, and the learning content is simple, no supplementary lessons are required. Just arrange a few courses that children are interested in on weekends, and parents will have spare money for them. Good pocket money.
In the eyes of the students around them, they are all very rich.
As a result, I came to junior high school and Hongde Middle School.
The family’s conditions are just pretty good. I spent a lot of money to pay for the children’s tuition and accommodation. Naturally, I can’t provide too much living expenses. I only pay 3,000 a month. 3,000 can only let the children eat and drink at Hongde Middle School. The stay is very comfortable, but if the kids want to go out a few times on weekends, they have to save some money.
And they had a good time for five thousand a month. They could eat the food on the third floor a few times a week. It is absolutely impossible to eat every single one.
”Miaomiao, you are so rich in your family.” Zhao Xinxin said with some envy, ”I'm so envious, you are good-looking, good in figure, good grades, and still have money at home. No wonder so many boys in the class like you .”
”...?” Do many boys in the class like me? But I have never heard anyone say it.
Miaomiao was a little confused, and then said, ”I don't have much money in my family. My mother said that our family's conditions are average.”
When Zhao Keke and Zhao Xinxin heard this, their eyes widened, ”No, you are joking, even if you are an only child, you will get a lot of money from the family if you only raise one child, but if you think about it, you have a month. Fifteen thousand. If you include your tuition and accommodation fees a year, you will have more than two hundred thousand. The clothes you usually wear on weekends should be bought for you by your parents, right?”
Miaomiao nodded, ”Yes, my mother will buy it for me.”
”For your living expenses, your mother will not buy some cheap clothes for you to wear. It must be selected for you. Assume that you only have three new sets of clothes in a season, and winter clothes are more expensive. , The price for a set of inside and outside is very high, so you have to buy tens of thousands of clothes a year, right? Do you have any classes after you go home on the weekend?”
Miaomiao listened and realized that something was wrong, and continued to nod, ”Yes, there will be some piano lessons and dance lessons, all of which are art.”
”Art courses are very expensive. The teacher teaches one-to-one, and a class is hundreds or even thousands. For a class, a class may cost two or three hundred.”
Miaomiao was stunned. There are more than fifty weeks in a year. She has two classes in the morning on Saturday and Sunday, one class in the afternoon, and six art classes a week, all of which are one-to-one courses. Assuming that a class is 500 yuan, there must be 150,000 yuan?
Counting the two hundred thousand in front, four hundred thousand?
”Then I will spend 400,000 yuan for mom and dad for almost a year?” Miaomiao blinked in confusion.
Zhao Keke hurriedly nodded, and then said: ”This is still when you buy clothes that are not branded. If your clothes are big-name clothes, you may have to buy hundreds of thousands of clothes.”
Miaomiao: ”...I don't understand the brand.”
”Anyway, your family is rich.” Zhao Xinxin said: ”Like our family, our parents' annual income is about two to three million after tax. They live in double dormitories, and one person's tuition plus living expenses for one year If it is more than 90,000, two people will get more than 180,000. If the usual tutoring fees are included, and if you buy some clothes to wear on weekends, it will cost Mom and Dad more than 300,000 a year for two people.”
”Mom thinks we spend a little bit too much, because you don't know that all the money that mom and dad make is not meant to be spent, they have to save money, just in case they need money urgently, they have to spend it themselves. You must wear the best clothes when you go out to socialize, or you will be looked down upon easily. The car you drive must also be good.”
”Besides, we have to save a dowry for the two of us. So you see, you spent at least 400,000 yuan a year on your own. Your parents must be very rich.”
Miaomiao frowned, ”But my father is the only one who works in our family. My mother usually stays at home and goes out to eat and drink with other aunts. My mother has no income. Is my father so good?”
”That must be your father is super awesome!” Zhao Keke quickly said.
Miaomiao: ”...but my mother said, our family doesn't have a lot of money.”
”Is it because your mother's requirements are relatively high? For people with high requirements, may they always think that they don't make enough money?” Zhao Xinxin replied.
”It's possible, then I will wait for the weekend to go home and ask.” Miaomiao nodded.
There is a lot of information today, and she needs to sort it out.
On this evening of self-study, Miaomiao read the book after finishing her homework, but she felt that she couldn't go into it, and she was full of what she had just thought of.
She thought about it carefully, and it seemed that the conditions at home were really not what her mother said, and there was no money.
Since the Little Star Kindergarten, few friends in the kindergarten seem to have more pocket money than her.
Only Xiong Da Xiong Er and Qin Yu are like her, and on the way from home to Little Star Kindergarten, I saw that many people lived in houses that looked ordinary from the outside, and they all looked not as big as her home.
Miaomiao has been studying and taking art courses such as singing and dancing. In fact, she doesn't have much idea about money.
Children at this age have never made money on their own. They don’t know that making money is not easy. They only know that their mother says that they don’t have much money at home, so they don’t.
But thinking about it carefully, it seems that it's really not the case.
When I was in elementary school, the school environment was relatively poor, and all the students were in very difficult conditions at home. At that time, she only thought that the financial conditions of the students' homes were too bad, and she never thought that the conditions of her own home were good.
But thinking about it, Ye Lu said several times that although her family is not rich, she is definitely not poor. It's just that the money is spent on her brother.
But Ye Lu's pocket money plus her brother's pocket money were not as much as hers. And Ye Lu always said that her family is so rich...
I also came to junior high school. I was not nervous when I was studying in the first year of junior high. In the second year of junior high, because Xiong Daxiong would cut to the third floor, the four of them also went to the third floor.
For ordinary people, as long as it is not for poor conditions at home, it is really not too much to eat more than 100 per person for a meal, but the problem is that you have to weigh the money for each meal.
Miaomiao has been eating on the third floor during this period. In fact, I often see some people on the third floor. Everyone has eaten more or less on the third floor, and some of them often eat, but they all eat on the third floor. The number is really not too large.
Finally, Zhou Shu came back with the work of social thinking. She put everyone's work in the first row according to the group, and then returned to her seat. Miaomiao pulled up her sleeve and asked in a low voice, ”Zhou Book, I ask you, do you think my family is rich?”
”Rich, you and Qin Yu are so rich at home, why do you suddenly ask?” Zhou Shu looked at Miaomiao suspiciously.
Miaomiao frowned and said, ”But my mother told me that I don't have much money in my family.”
”...?” Zhou Shu: ”When was the last time your mother said? Didn't you have a lot of money before, but then you got rich?”
Miaomiao thought about it, and said for the last time that it seemed to be when she was in elementary school, she nodded, ”It seems that it was when I was in elementary school. I forgot how many grades, but my mother really didn't say anything in recent years.”
”That should be it, and my family is too. My mother also said that the family is not very rich, so I saved some money when I was a child, but since I was in junior high school, the family situation gradually improved, so my mother Sent me to Hongde Middle School and gave me a lot of pocket money.”
Miaomiao thought for a while and nodded, ”It seems that our family's conditions have gradually improved afterwards, but my mother may have forgotten to tell me, and then I always thought that the conditions at home were average.”
Qin Yu happened to come back at this time and put a drink on the table of the two of them. Hearing Miaomiao saying this, the corners of his mouth rose.
