Yuan Xudong listened quietly. When he saw Kong Xiuya coming over with two cups of hot water, he reached out and took one cup and handed it to the grandmother opposite. Then he took the remaining cup and held it in his hand. Kong Xiuya glanced at Yuan Xudong and herself.

Kong Xiuya's grandmother walked to the only bedroom. Kong Xiuya's grandmother invited Yuan Xudong to drink tea, and then continued to talk, her voice was somewhat proud of her granddaughter:

"I heard from Xiuya that she found a new job and worked part-time in a convenience store. The boss liked her very much, treated her very well, and the salary was good. I was finally relieved!"

"Yeah?"

Looking at the happy old man, Yuan Xudong felt incomprehensible. Sure enough, poverty makes people look down upon. The biggest original sin of a person is to have no money when you need it, so you can only sell everything you can, including ordinary migrant workers.

Isn't it just selling one's time, or life, in order to survive and make money? Thinking this in his heart, Yuan Xudong said with a smile on his face:

"Xiuya is very filial. Grandma is so lucky to have such a wonderful granddaughter!"

"Oh, how can I be so lucky?"

After waving her hand, Kong Xiuya’s grandmother smiled bitterly and said:

"I just hope that our Xiuya can get into a good university, but I'm also afraid that I won't be able to pay the tuition and living expenses by then. If it delays Xiuya's future, I, an old woman, will really have no shame in going to see her parents. I heard

I said that college tuition is very expensive. Teacher, how much did you spend when you went to college?"

"me?"

Yuan Xudong thought for a while and replied:

"Different universities and different majors cost different money. I went to the Law Department of Seoul National University. Not counting living expenses, the tuition and materials fees cost almost 200 million won. But you don't have to worry about Xiuya's tuition.

You can apply for loans in college, and you can just pay them back slowly after you graduate and start working!"

"Two hundred million won, is the tuition so expensive?"

"The legal major is relatively expensive, but there are also cheaper ones. In fact, you can study and do part-time jobs at the same time, and you don't necessarily need a loan of 200 million yuan!"

"That's it, then our family is Xiuya."

Yuan Xudong chatted with Kong Xiuya's grandmother, and the topic always revolved around Kong Xiuya's future, such as which university is better to attend, what major should girls choose, whether they can be teachers like Yuan Xudong, etc. Yuan Xudong smiled.

As soon as he responded, he was very nervous. His intuition told him that it was hard to say whether Kong Xiuya's academic performance could be admitted to a local university, let alone a famous university in Seoul. If he graduated from high school,

It is not impossible to find a good and decent job in the future, but it will definitely be very difficult and requires more effort than a college student in Seoul.

Time passed, and just when Yuan Xudong was about to get up and leave, Kong Xiuya walked out of the bedroom. Her long red skirt was replaced by a black and white female high school uniform. The short pleated skirt barely covered her thighs.

At the base, under the short skirt, a pair of flawless white jade long legs are tightly together, and they are a perfect fit. They are wearing a pair of starry-white canvas shoes under their feet. They are not wearing socks. There are a few abrasions on the feet and ankles. Look up.

, a slender waist that is not too tight, slightly perky breasts, fair and delicate collarbones and neck, the heavy makeup on the face has been removed, revealing a moist and shiny face, and a little bit of baby fat, which makes people feel...

An urge to give it a gentle squeeze.

Her long black hair is simply tied back, and her long bangs cover her eyebrows. Her big, watery eyes are bright and attractive, her nose is high, her thin lips are pink and tender, and the corners of her mouth are slightly raised, giving her a playful and cute look.

The feeling, the charming before makeup removal, the innocence and cuteness after makeup removal, made Yuan Xudong's eyes light up, and he had the urge to go to jail. Fortunately, Yuan Xudong had strong control, he only glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze and said goodbye:

"Grandma, Xiuya, it's getting late. I'm going back first. You guys should go to bed early. Good night!"

"Okay, teacher, walk slowly, Xiuya, please see the teacher off!"

"No, I'll just leave by myself. Please stay, bye!"

"Okay, slow down on the road, bye!"

"Thank you, Teacher Yuan, bye!"

Leaving the basement where Kong Xiuya and her grandmother lived, Yuan Xudong started walking to the nearby bus station. Passing by a supermarket, he thought of Kong Xiuya's bare feet, the abrasions on her feet and ankles, and the flickering lights in the basement.

Yuan Xudong walked into the supermarket after hesitating for a moment and bought two boxes of milk, a few pairs of cotton socks, a box of band-aids, several large packages of snacks, a fluorescent stick lamp, an envelope and

Corresponding pen and paper.

After paying the bill, Yuan Xudong lay on the counter and wrote a few words of encouragement to Kong Xiuya. Then he stuffed the banknotes with a value of more than 10,000 yuan in his wallet into the envelope together with the letter paper, and put the envelope into his arms. Yuan Xudong held these

Things began to return to Kong Xiuya's home.

After a while, he walked back to the basement door of Kong Xiuya's house, knocked gently and said:

"Grandma, Xiuya, are you asleep?"

"Teacher Yuan, why are you back?"

There was a sound of brisk footsteps. Kong Xiuya opened the basement door and saw Yuan Xudong standing outside the door carrying milk and shopping bags from the supermarket. She couldn't help but said in a daze:

"Teacher Yuan, you"

Before she could finish speaking, grandma's voice sounded behind her:

"Teacher Yuan, did you leave anything behind?"

"No, I think the fluorescent light in the room seems to be broken and keeps flashing. I bought a new one and put it in for you!"

"Teacher Yuan, thank you so much!"

"It's okay, it should be!"

Yuan Xudong walked into the house carrying his things and asked Kong Xiuya to turn off the fluorescent lights and turn on the mobile phone lighting. He took off his leather shoes and stood on the bench to replace the broken fluorescent tube. Then he asked Kong Xiuya to turn on the switch and try it out. In the dark basement

It suddenly became much brighter.

After putting on his leather shoes, while Kong Xiuya and her grandma's eyes were attracted by the new fluorescent lights, Yuan Xudong took out the envelope from his arms and put it into the shopping bag. Then he handed the milk and shopping bag to Kong Xiuya's grandma and said with a smile:

"Grandma, these things are bought for Xiuya, and this carton of milk is bought for you. I'm going to leave first. You and Xiuya have a rest early. I'll come to visit you next time. Bye!"

"Teacher Yuan, how is this possible? You."

Without waiting for Kong Xiuya's grandmother to refuse, Yuan Xudong said hello to Kong Xiuya and then left, starting to walk towards the nearby bus stop. After he left, Kong Xiuya's grandmother handed Kong Xiuya the shopping bag she was carrying.

smiled and said:

"Teacher Yuan bought this for you. Open it and take a look. Our Xiuya is really nice. The teacher also likes you very much. He even changed the light tubes in our house. You are such a careful and good person!"

"Who wants him to mind his own business?"

After mumbling with her mouth raised, Kong Xiuya took the shopping bag and opened it:

"Let me see what the cheapskate bought. It must be very cheap. It's at the nearby Youyi Supermarket. I've been there!"

"Oh, you can't say that, does the teacher know?"

Seeing her granddaughter's disrespect for Yuan Xudong, Kong Xiuya's grandmother blamed her:

"In the past, teachers were just like my father, the most respected person in my life. Teacher Yuan is a very kind person at first glance. Do you know that you have to respect him?"

"I know, grandma!"

Kong Xiuya rolled her eyes, thinking that her teacher would never take care of her. She was completely in a self-destructive herding mode. He would only take care of good students who had the hope of being admitted to a well-known university in Seoul. Delinquent girls like herself were among those to be punished.

A group of people who give up sit in the corner of the classroom and do whatever they want, as long as they don't disrupt the order of the class. It doesn't matter if there are teachers like this.

With random thoughts in her mind, Kong Xiuya opened the shopping bag, rummaged through various snacks, and looked at the socks and band-aids at the bottom. She couldn't help but blush slightly, and took the pink stockings and band-aids into her hands.

, the corners of his mouth raised slightly and he complained:

"It's so old-fashioned, who wears stockings these days?"
