After agreeing on a time with the school, Li Jie said hello and left the office on his own initiative.
It's almost noon, and now there are only Sanli and Simei at home. The two little ones are very young, so they may still be hungry.
As for, will Qiao Zuwang go back to cook?
I guess he will, but he will definitely not go back immediately. If he is expected, the two little ones will definitely be hungry.
Seeing that Li Jie was leaving, Wen Qinghua also said goodbye.
The two of them walked to the school gate together. Wen Qinghua stopped and said.
"Yicheng, I'll take you back."
"Thanks."
After saying this, Li Jie hesitated for a moment and said with a troubled expression.
"Teacher Wen, can you do me a favor?"
"sure."
"I...I...want to ask you to borrow some money."
Li Jie spoke intermittently, hesitating to speak, trying his best to say this in the tone of a young man.
He did this not to deliberately deceive Wen Qinghua, but to appear less abrupt.
After all, his current identity is just a twelve-year-old child.
"No problem, you..., let's do this, I will take you to the bank to get it."
Wen Qinghua originally wanted to ask, ‘How much do you want?’, but he felt that it was not a good idea to ask. It was already very difficult for a child to ask for a loan.
Children who are twelve or thirteen years old are the best at their age and are in a different place. If I encounter this kind of situation, I definitely hope that the more the better.
Wen Qinghua was paid when he was a substitute teacher before, and he was not the kind of person who spent money lavishly.
Therefore, he has saved most of his previous salary as a substitute teacher. So far, he has saved a total of nearly three hundred yuan.
He had just made the decision that keeping the change would be enough for his expenses, and he took out all the remaining two hundred yuan and lent it to 'Yi Cheng'.
Wen Qinghua didn't take his bankbook with him, but kept it at home. He first took Li Jie back to his home, and then went to the bank.
After tossing and turning for several times, I finally took out the money. Holding twenty large rolls in my hand was quite impressive.
"10%, here you go."
Wen Qinghua was afraid that the students would reject him, so as soon as he got the money, he stuffed it into Li Jie's schoolbag, and then tightly covered the mouth of the bag.
"Don't refuse!"
Li Jie took a deep look at him. Two hundred yuan was already beyond his expectation. He originally only planned to borrow fifty yuan.
And now it has quadrupled!
He has always been a person who repays every kindness with a spring. He remembered Wen Qinghua's interest in borrowing money.
In the future, he will return it to the other party in other ways.
ten times!
hundred times!
"Thank you, teacher."
The collapse of adults often starts with borrowing money. Many people usually treat each other well, and everyone is loyal. Some people even want to brag that they are Meng Changjun alive.
But when it comes time to borrow money.
Well, it just depends on whether your feelings are deep and transparent.
This is true for adults borrowing money, let alone a child.
Wen Qinghua not only borrowed it, but also directly gave up most of his wealth. In this era when the average worker's salary was only about thirty, two hundred yuan was definitely a huge sum of money.
"No need." Wen Qinghua waved his hand: "You can feel free to use this money and return it to the teacher when you grow up and make money."
It's just Wen Qinghua's excuse to pay it back when he grows up. Since the money was loaned out, he has no intention of getting it back.
On the way to withdraw money just now, he probably asked Li Jie about his family situation. After hearing this, he was filled with sighs.
This child is so pitiful. He lost his mother at a young age, and he has four younger brothers and sisters. The eldest brother is only eight years old, and the youngest is not yet a month old.
It is too difficult to support a large family with only one labor force.
In addition, the children are very young and cannot do without human care, which makes the situation even worse for families whose labor force is not rich.
It is precisely because of the lack of labor that "10%" of a child has to shoulder the burden of taking care of his younger siblings.
"well."
Wen Qinghua sighed and patted his shoulder.
"Let's go, the teacher will take you home."
On the way back, both teachers and students were silent until they approached the entrance of the alley, when Li Jie suddenly spoke.
"Teacher, if you meet my dad later, please don't tell him that I borrowed money from you."
"good."
After what happened today, Wen Qinghua already regarded Li Jie as an adult. Although he didn't quite understand what was going on, he still nodded in agreement.
After three turns and several detours, the two of them arrived at Qiao's courtyard.
Stepping into the small courtyard, before Wen Qinghua could take a closer look, he saw two little girls running towards the door hand in hand.
"Brother!"
"elder brother!"
The next second, Sanli and Simei suddenly stopped the car. Sanli subconsciously protected her sister, while Xiao Simei hid behind her sister and timidly looked at the stranger who suddenly appeared.
"Sanli, Simei, don't be afraid, this is eldest brother's teacher, Wen Qinghua, Teacher Wen."
Li Jie walked up to the two of them and rubbed their little heads in turn.
"Please call me Teacher Wen."
After hearing Li Jie's explanation, Sanli and Simei immediately changed their attitudes and shouted in unison.
"Hello, Teacher Wen!" X2
Simei took a few steps to the side, her big eyes flickering, looking at Wen Qinghua curiously.
At this time, the immature Simei had only one hazy thought in her mind.
'Teacher Wen looks good.'
"Sanli, Simei, hello."
Wen Qinghua showed a warm smile, leaned over and waved to the two children.
Immediately, he took out a handful of toffee from his pocket. He didn't buy these toffees on the road, but grabbed a handful and put them in his pocket when he came home.
"For you guys."
Seeing the white rabbit icing in Wen Qinghua's hand, Sanli swallowed and Simei licked her lips.
The two little ones have this kind of candy in their memories, but they can only eat a few of it during the Chinese New Year.
Even though half a year has passed, they can still recall the rich milky smell.
Wen Qinghua looked at the movements of the two little ones and felt a little curious. It could be seen that they both wanted to eat.
But they didn't come forward.
The next scene just answered the doubts in his heart. The two little ones turned their eyes and looked at their eldest brother expectantly.
Li Jie smiled and nodded: "Take what Teacher Wen gave you, just take it and remember to say thank you."
"oh!"
"Here's some candy!"
As soon as these words came out, the two little girls clapped their hands and ran to Wen Qinghua with joy.
"Thank you, Teacher Wen."
Sanli took the toffee, did not forget her instructions, and said thank you obediently.
Hearing Sanli's voice, Simei, who was peeling off the candy wrapper, immediately stopped and imitated her sister's behavior just now, smiling sweetly at Wen Qinghua.
