Mu Ningzhen returned from four days in Yinchuan. Tian Shao received a telegram asking Sankui to pick her up at the station in the middle of the night and then let her stay at home for one night. Two minutes before class started the next day, Mu Ningzhen stepped into the classroom.
Tian Shao saw her tired look and said, "Can you listen to the class like this? Don't fall asleep later."
Rather than dozing off in class, it would be better to go back to the dormitory and sleep, since I have already asked for leave anyway.
Mu Ningzhen said that she was in good spirits and would not doze off. She took eight days off and was a little panicked after missing a lot of homework. How could she dare to catch up on her sleep now that she was back at school?
After class, the teacher put down the textbook and went out.
Bao Yiqiu was even more anxious than Tian Shao. As soon as the teacher left, she couldn't wait to ask: "Ningzhen, how is Qingqing?"
Mu Ningzhen's face flashed with anger and she said: "Qingqing was collecting firewood on the mountain. She was pushed down the mountain by a bad boy in the village and broke her legs. The Ji family separated at the beginning of the year, and the woman was unwilling to send Qingqing to the hospital for fear of spending money.
.But she was also afraid that I would settle the score with her if something happened to Qingqing, so she sent me a telegram."
Bao Yiqiu asked: "What about now?"
Mu Ningzhen said with lingering fear: "Before I left Sijiu City, I sent them a telegram and asked them to send Qingqing to the provincial hospital for treatment immediately. I paid for it. Fortunately, she was sent in time. Although she would suffer a lot, the doctor said she could
It can be cured and there will be no sequelae.”
But when she saw her daughter lying on the bed with her legs suspended and unable to move, she felt guilty and resentful. She felt guilty that she, as a mother, had not done her duty, and she resented the man who had promised to take good care of the child but failed to do so. Fortunately, she also felt resentful.
She woke up in time and went back to find Qingqing, otherwise the child would not know what kind of torture he would have suffered.
Bao Yiqiu took a deep breath and said, "As long as it can be cured, she still has a long future at such a young age!"
Tian Shao asked: "Now that you are back, who will take care of the child? Is it someone from the Ji family?"
Mu Ningzhen shook her head and said: "No, my parents are taking care of me. I also want to stay, but I have missed too much homework, and I worry that I won't be able to make up for it if I don't come back. The doctor at Qingqing's place said that I will have to stay in the hospital for at least half a month.
I have no choice but to ask my parents to come over and help take care of her."
"I remember your dad hasn't retired yet?"
Mu Ningzhen said: "My dad took half a month's leave."
In order to prevent her son from going to the countryside, Mu's mother gave up her job to her younger son. When Mu Ningzhen graduated from high school and wanted to go to the countryside the next year, the family really had no choice. In this matter, Mu Ningzhen's parents
I feel very guilty for her.
Tian Shao thinks that when a woman encounters trouble, her maternal family will help her and make it easier for her to overcome difficulties.
Mu Ningzhen said: "I have discussed it with my parents. After Qingqing is discharged from the hospital, she will go back to my hometown with them, and then she will study in my hometown for a year. When I graduate and get a job, I will transfer my child's household registration to study here."
She was injured for a hundred days and had to be taken care of even if she was discharged from the hospital. She was busy with her studies and had to find ways to make money to treat her child's leg, so she had no choice but to let her child go back with her parents.
Bao Yiqiu said: "Don't let Qingqing go back there in the future, otherwise who knows what kind of injury the child will get."
There were two adults at home, so why would a seven-year-old child go up the mountain to collect firewood? You can only imagine what kind of life the child had lived there. It was better for Ningzhen to send money back every month, otherwise it would be even more pitiful.
Mu Ningzhen had never thought about this issue before, but now Bao Yiqiu mentioned it to her and said, "If she wants to go back, she has to wait until she grows up to be able to protect herself."
Otherwise, even if she turns eighteen, she won't worry about her child going back alone. If she is deceived or abducted, where will she find someone?
The three of them returned to the dormitory at noon, and Tian Shao asked in a low voice: "Is the money enough? If it's not enough, you take it from me first."
Mu Ningzhen shook her head and said: "I spent more than a hundred yuan and left two hundred for my parents. I still have more than three hundred yuan on hand. But the child is too thin. I want to buy her some delicious food, little one."
Shao, can you find me a job?"
Tian Shao did not agree this time and said: "It will be May when you make up for the missed classes, and there will be final exams in June. How can you still have time to work part-time to make money?"
Mu Ningzhen was discouraged upon hearing this.
Bao Yiqiu said with a smile: "It's okay, we can work as tour guides during the holidays. With last year's experience, we will definitely be more comfortable this year."
Nowadays, the tourism industry is not as standardized as in later generations. Anyway, as long as you can speak English and win the trust of tourists, it will be fine. Tian Shao said: "Don't wait there passively. You can take the initiative to attract customers when the time comes."
"Proactively soliciting customers?"
Tian Shao nodded and said: "Yes, take the initiative to attract customers, and then set a charging standard. How much you charge for one day, you can give a discount for two days, and the longer the time, the more discounts you can give."
Bao Yiqiu shook her head and asked her to attract customers, but she couldn't help but look like this.
Mu Ningzhen felt that she could give it a try. If she succeeded, she would make more money. However, it was still early and the top priority was to make up for all the missed lessons.
Pei Yue came to pick up Tian Shao on Sunday morning and told him about Chen Hou's brother-in-law on the way.
Tian Shao praised: "Thank you for your vigilance and your friend arrived in time, otherwise our losses would have been great."
Even if only one-tenth of the items in half a car were genuine, they would be priceless. She thought that the worst outcome would be for them to go it alone, but she didn't expect that she would actually want to swallow their stuff. It wasn't that Tian Shao was naive, but
It was because she felt that Pei Yue's comrades would not do such a dishonorable thing. Well, there was nothing wrong with Pei Yue's comrades, but his relatives were greedy.
Pei Yue said: "Don't worry, I have already agreed with Luo Xiaoping that he will help me collect my things in the future."
Tian Shao was a little surprised and said with a smile: "I thought you asked me to close this stall's business!"
Pei Yue shook his head and said: "For a person with bad behavior like Brother Chen's brother-in-law, as long as someone gives enough money, he will not care about whose hands the things fall into. So we must not only continue to collect, but also increase our efforts, all the time
Until we run out of money."
Tian Shao secretly thought that it would be difficult to wait until she ran out of money before not accepting the payment.
The two went to pick up Professor Song and Song Mingyang from the school next door. Because they had made an appointment before, Professor Song and Song Mingyang were waiting for them at home.
As soon as he saw the person, Song Mingyang asked: "Tian Shao, have you found the person to take care of my grandfather?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Yue immediately took over the conversation and said, "The search has been completed, but she has something to do at home and has to go back. It will take a few days before she can arrive at her post. Don't worry, she will definitely be able to arrive before you leave?"
Tian Shao asked: "Pei Yue, how old is the person you are looking for? Too young is not good, he will not take care of others."
Pei Yue said: "Don't worry, this Aunt Zhang is forty-nine years old. She is very careful. She also learned nursing when she was young. In addition, she is also very good at cooking. The old man who took care of her before was full of praise.
"
Song Mingyang was very grateful when he heard this: "Comrade Pei, thank you."
