"Didn't I give you this month's household expenses?" Chen Shangdong asked strangely.
"That's living expenses, but the two children have to pay other expenses this semester, such as school uniforms, breakfast, milk fees, etc., which one is free?" Tan Tingting said complainingly.
Chen Shangdong became angry when he heard this: "The school is getting more and more excessive. Why do we have to pay so much money?"
"I heard that you have to pay for after-school on-campus services now, but I haven't said how much you have to pay, but it's probably a few hundred yuan," Tan Tingting said.
Chen Shangdong still has a favorable impression of this after-school on-campus service: "I am willing to pay for this service for students to get out of school at six o'clock in the afternoon. This is good for us."
Tan Tingting nodded. She usually had to get off work after 5:30. In the past, she often asked for leave to pick up her children, which made her boss unhappy.
"Anyway, you give me a thousand yuan first, and I will give it to the class teachers of the two children." Tan Tingting said.
"Oh, don't you also get a salary? How can you let me pay?" Chen Shangdong was unwilling.
He was reluctant to pay for his children. But when he invited Li Huabing for tea just now, he didn't even frown.
"I also have to pay for living expenses. I work in the library as a public institution, and my salary is not as high as your civil servants." Tan Tingting said.
"Let's do this, I'll pay 500 yuan, and you will pay 500 yuan too." Chen Shangdong also wanted to have some money in his coffers so that he could continue to go out and be cool in the future.
Tan Tingting was reluctant at first, but Chen Shangdong kept insisting, and she had to say that after she spent this month's salary, she would ask him for money.
We have been married for so many years, and Tan Tingting knows what kind of character her man is.
After receiving his salary, he would go out to eat and drink.
If she hadn't been in charge of this family, she would probably have no money to live by early in the morning.
Tan Tingting received the 500 yuan transferred from Chen Shangdong on WeChat and advised: "You should go out less to socialize in the future. Although we are both from the company, the expenses are also high."
"I'm a man. If I don't go out to socialize sometimes, how can I build relationships with others?" Chen Shangdong said deliberately, "When I become the head of the stock room and raise my salary, others will treat me to dinner and so on.
I feel comfortable."
Tan Tingting sighed secretly. Chen Shangdong has been saying this for many years, but it has never been true.
She knew that it didn't matter that her husband didn't work hard, so how easy was it to promote him?
In Room 103, Song Liang and his wife were discussing after-school services at District No. 9 Primary School.
"Chunfang and the others said that many students didn't go home until six o'clock in the afternoon." Deng Xiaoying said to Song Liang.
"Do the two children really want to participate in that service?" Song Liang asked worriedly.
The couple came to the city to work and worked hard, all for the sake of their children.
Deng Xiaoying shook her head and said: "No, they are just talking. Everything depends on us."
At this point, Deng Xiaoying felt unable to speak and her voice was choked with sobs.
They do so many things just because they don’t want to wrong their children.
It is estimated that the service provided by the school now costs several hundred yuan per semester.
For their two children, it would be a burden for them to pay more than a thousand yuan.
Consumption in the city is very high, and renting a house here also costs a lot of money.
It is also because of this that the child has never attended an extracurricular cram school, not even a tutor.
Although this is the case, the children are doing well and their grades are at the top of the class, and they are also pleased.
"Then we won't sign up for that service class. Anyway, we are just doing homework. The children can go home and do their homework. We are not like Chen Shangdong and others who have no time. You have time to pick up the children." Song Liang said.
Deng Xiaoying nodded, thinking her husband was right.
With seven days off during the National Day holiday, Mo Zhicheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Because he had to attend after-school services three days a week, Yang Yujuan had to change shifts with her colleagues once a week, and her working hours were completely messed up.
At first, Liang Ping said that she would ask someone to help pick up and drop off Mo Li, but they said that ten yuan was not enough, and they wanted thirty yuan.
When Liang Ping heard that it cost so much money, she gave up and said that she didn't even need that much money to take a taxi.
In the past, when there were still three-wheeled motorcycles in the city, Liang Ping would sometimes take a taxi, which cost five yuan a trip. Even a trip would only cost ten yuan.
But now there are no three-wheeled motorcycles, only two-wheeled motorcycles for passengers, and Mo Zhicheng didn't dare let her sit on them.
After all, she had suffered a stroke and couldn't walk very neatly. How could she dare to ride a motorcycle that could fall off at any time?
Seeing this, Yang Yujuan arranged a half-day shift with her colleagues, and then she would help others come back.
Therefore, sometimes after Yang Yujuan worked the night shift and had the next day off, she had to pay others half a day's work.
Yang Yujuan had complaints in her heart, but she didn't say anything. She just gritted her teeth and persisted.
On October 1st, Mo Zhicheng took the two sisters Mo Yu and Mo Li to the People's Park for a walk, while Yang Yujuan went to work.
Because Liang Ping's legs and feet couldn't walk this far, she stayed in the apartment.
"Sister, it's great that I can play for seven days." Mo Li happily said to Mo Yu.
"Sister, just be fine. We have classes on the 4th in the third year of junior high school." Mo Yu said helplessly.
When they enter the third grade of junior high school, time is very tight. They also have to go back to school to work on Saturdays.
When they arrived at the park, Mo Zhicheng took his children for a walk. Mo Yu found it boring, so she said to Mo Zhicheng: "Dad, let's go watch a movie?"
"Watching a movie..." Mo Zhicheng looked at the time and felt that it was still early. He could watch a movie with the children and go home to cook.
So, Mo Zhicheng took Mo Yu and the others to the cinema in the shopping mall opposite and bought three tickets to watch the movie.
At almost noon, Mo Zhicheng came back with his children and happened to meet Li Huabing. "Are you going to the training institution now?" Mo Zhicheng asked politely.
Li Huabing jumped up as if he had been stepped on: "Mo Zhicheng, what do you mean by this? Are you laughing at me?"
"I didn't mean that." Mo Zhicheng looked strange.
Generally, training institutions are busiest during holidays.
When he saw Li Huabing going out, he just asked politely. He didn't expect Li Huabing to be like this.
"Aren't you laughing at my training institution being closed down? Mo Zhicheng, you are so hateful." Li Huabing cursed angrily.
"Your training institution has been closed down?" Mo Zhicheng was surprised. He really didn't know about this.
"Humph, please stop pretending to be confused. My training institution has been sealed off for a few days. Who doesn't know about it in Xiangyang Apartment?" Li Huabing glared at Mo Zhicheng bitterly and walked away angrily.
Mo Zhicheng asked some neighbors in the apartment and found out what was going on.
It turned out that Li Huabing’s education and training institution had incomplete certificates, so it was sealed by the relevant departments.
