His father later found a divorced woman from a neighboring village, but the woman and his father gave birth to another child. Later, because the family burden was too heavy, his father went out to work again, so Chen Mingming actually lives with his stepmother now.
Chen Mingming's stepmother treated him very badly, and his father was not at home. The tuition for junior high school was directly given to him by his father, but he had to rely on his stepmother for daily living expenses. Therefore, Chen Mingming's life was very hard. It was because of her that he could persist until he graduated from junior high school.
My aunt has done a lot of work and given me a lot of support to get where I am today.
After hearing this, Yang Yimin lost the happiness he felt at noon. He did not speak, but was thinking, maybe at noon today, he only saw one aspect of the student's home. As a principal, when he arrived at the student's home, he would definitely show the most glorious side.
When they came out, Liu Xiaoyan and his family were able to cook out two pieces of meat and wine. Perhaps they did so because they were distinguished guests.
About half an hour later, the woman sent Yang Yimin to an intersection and said, "Principal Yang, look at that house. It's Chen Mingming's home. My home is not far away. I'll go home first and come over later.
Principal, please explain Mingming’s stepmother and ask her to treat Mingming better.”
Yang Yimin said: "Don't worry, I will do it."
I walked along the path for seven or eight minutes and arrived at Chen Mingming's house. Perhaps the house was better than Liu Xiaoyan's house. I saw Chen Mingming washing his school uniforms in a large basin, while a slightly pretty woman was teasing a five-year-old.
A six-year-old child plays.
Chen Mingming picked up his clothes, but the school uniform was too heavy, and Chen Mingming was very small. He couldn't wring out the water when he picked it up. He had to ask a woman for help, "Mom, help me wring out the water."
"Didn't you see that I'm not free? I can't even squeeze out the water, and I feed the food to the dog?" The woman felt very uncomfortable.
Tears welled up in Chen Mingming's eyes, but they did not flow down. He twisted up bit by bit.
Yang Yimin came from the side and saw them from behind, so neither of them noticed. Yang Yimin felt sad and said: "Chen Mingming, let me help you."
Including the five or six-year-old child, everyone turned around and looked at this sudden person in surprise. The woman picked up the child and walked towards Yang Yimin. Chen Mingming was stunned, and after a while he shouted: "
Principal Yang."
When the woman heard that she was the principal of Chen Mingming School, she smiled and said, "Principal Yang, come on, come in and sit down."
Yang Yimin nodded and said, "Are you Chen Mingming's mother? I am Yang Yimin, the principal of Shimen Middle School. I am here for a home visit."
He walked to Chen Mingming and said: "Chen Mingming, you are very diligent. There are really few children like this doing their own laundry now. Come on, let me help you."
"Principal Yang, why are you so busy? Mingming, hurry up and let Principal Yang sit in the room, boil water, make tea for the principal, and I will wash the clothes later."
Chen Mingming hesitated for a moment, put down the clothes in his hands, and went into the house. Yang Yimin followed the woman into the house.
Chen Mingming's home also has four rooms, and there is a special stove, pigsty, and toilet on the side. The situation is better than Liu Xiaoyan's home, and the house is brighter.
In fact, through Chen Mingming's aunt just now, Yang Yimin already had a rough idea of the family's situation, but Yang Yimin pretended not to know, took out his notebook, and asked questions according to what he had planned.
The woman's surname is Liang, and the child in her hands is already five years old. Because there is no kindergarten here, she can only take care of the child by herself. Chen Mingming's father works in Xinjiang, so he usually goes home to live for a few months in the second half of the year, and then goes out again, because he earns money there.
I have relatively more money, so I tidy up the house when I come back in the winter. However, because there are two children at home, and everything in the house depends on Chen Mingming’s father’s income for more than half a year, the family is particularly difficult.
When Yang Yimin sat with her, he realized that the woman was actually wearing makeup. From time to time, there was a smell of low-end cosmetics. This made it difficult for Yang Yimin to imagine. Is there someone coming to his house today? Or maybe this woman liked this in the first place.
Dressing up, in a mountain like this, it is difficult for people to talk to each other, so there is really no point in applying makeup and makeup.
Chen Mingming quickly brought the water to Yang Yimin, and Yang Yimin said: "Chen Mingming, thank you."
The woman said: "Obviously, you go get a piece of bacon and cook it, then go to the vegetable garden to get some fresh vegetables and fried peanuts. It's hard for the principal to come here, and there are no vegetables. Principal Yang can only make do with it."
Yang Yimin said: "You are really welcome, Chen Mingming, just cook some rice. I like to eat kimchi. If you have it at home, I will eat kimchi."
Chen Mingming smiled and said: "Principal Yang, I'm going to get some vegetables. You can see my craftsmanship." After that, he left.
Yang Yimin took a sip of boiled water and said: "Sister-in-law, Chen Mingming is a very sensible child and studies very hard. He will have no problem getting into a key high school. He will have to be supported by his family in the next step."
"Principal Yang, to be honest, I still support him, but as you can see, there is no one at home, there is no one to do farm work, and there is no one to take care of the children. If he wants to go to high school, let alone money,
The family is in a very difficult situation and we really can’t afford it.”
"Sister-in-law, in fact, as long as Chen Mingming's grades are supported by his family, I will try to get the high school to offer some tuition exemptions. It won't cost him much. Think about it, he has to eat at home, and he is so young and can't
How much do you have to do?"
"On the other hand, if he has a good future in the future, he will definitely remember you. Chen Mingming is smart and capable, and will definitely have a bright future in the future. And I heard that you are his stepmother. If you support him, he will have
In the future, he will definitely treat you better, and he will also treat his younger brother better, and people around you will also praise you."
Yang Yimin continued to persuade according to his own ideas. Gradually, the woman seemed to really realize the problem. She promised: "Thank you, Principal Yang. Don't worry, I will consider your words carefully. His father will call in a few days."
When I get back, I will discuss with him and let Mingming continue to study in high school."
Yang Yimin had almost finished what he said. The strong smell of women's cosmetics made him suffocate. He said, "Okay, I'll thank you for supporting the school's work. I'll go out and have a look."
As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw two people walking outside. The woman was Chen Mingming's aunt, and Chen Mingming's stepmother followed behind Yang Yimin. At this time, she also shouted hello.
The man shouted: "Hello, Principal Yang."
Yang Yimin smiled and greeted her. Chen Mingming's aunt ignored the woman. The man nodded to the woman. Looking at Chen Mingming's stepmother's surprised eyes, Yang Yimin said, "I couldn't find the way just now, so I just asked about Chen Mingming's aunt."
