Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the season of fire in July, and it is late August in the Gregorian calendar.
It's only a few days until elementary school starts.
There are four children in the courtyard preparing to enter school this year.
The eldest is Liu Yuanyuan, the eldest girl who lives in the Liu family's penthouse in the front yard. She is seven years old this year.
Then there are the Lin Guo and Lin family brothers from the Lin Zhen family, who are already over six and a half years old.
Finally, there is the Jia family of the Zhongyuan, who is about ten days younger than the Lin family of Lin Guo.
The names have been registered and we are just waiting for school to start.
That afternoon, the first-grade primary school teacher made a special trip to collect statistics from each school, informing them of the start time and what should be prepared, and collecting tuition fees at the same time.
Lin Zhen was cooking in the kitchen, while Lou Xiaoe led the children to choose vegetables in the yard.
"Hello, are you the mother of Lin Guolin's family?"
Lou Xiao'e looked up and saw a dignified and beautiful girl pushing a bicycle with a cloth bag hanging on the handlebar.
"Well, hello, who are you?"
Before the eldest girl could answer, Lin Zhen came out and said with a smile: "Teacher Ran, I can see you in person!"
The visitor was none other than Ran Qiuye.
This year is her first year working.
Ran Qiuye's parents are overseas Chinese who have returned from abroad and teach in high schools, while she teaches in elementary schools.
A family of three returned from abroad and devoted themselves to the great construction of the motherland.
Hearing what Lin Zhen said, Ran Qiuye was very surprised and said happily: "You are the father of the Lin family in Lin Guo, right? Do you know me?"
Lin Zhen smiled and said: "I don't know him, but I heard that the child's class teacher is Teacher Ran Qiuye. It's time to come to the parents for statistics before entering school. If you just go to the hospital and ask, I can guess it."
Ran Qiuye smiled and said: "Then your guess is correct, I am here to inform you of the enrollment time."
"Teacher Ran, come in and sit down quickly." Lou Xiao'e quickly went inside and turned on the electric fan.
Even though it's July, the weather hasn't really gotten cooler.
Ran Qiuye was surprised to see that there was a ceiling fan in the room.
"Yeah, your home is already equipped with an electric fan?"
Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "The child's father won the steel rolling mill sports meeting some time ago."
Lin Zhen said: "The Lin family of Lin Guo, go and call your Aunt Qin and Aunt Wang. Tell them that Teacher Ran is here, and call Liu Yuanyuan and Jia Gen."
"Yes, Dad!"
The two brothers immediately ran away, one to the wing and the other to the middle courtyard.
Ran Qiuye said happily: "These two children are really smart!"
Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "Hey! You are being naughty. I will definitely cause trouble for you when you go to school in the future."
"It's okay, educating students is my job."
After a while, Qin Huairu led Banggan Xiaodang over, and Liu Yuanyuan and Liu Jiacheng also came over with their mother.
Ran Qiuye notified the enrollment time and told her what to bring.
Finally, we talked about tuition, which is two yuan per student for one semester.
Lin Zhen thought about it for a moment.
In the original TV series, Bangge asked Silly Zhu for money to pay his tuition. It seemed like he asked for two and a half yuan.
Banggeng was in the fourth grade at that time, and the salary increased by 10 cents every year to two and a half dollars. Why did that kid Banggeng ask for an extra 30 cents?
Hey! That’s good. It’s been so long since I traveled back in time that I almost forgot the plot!
Forget it, don't forget that he just stole the chicken.
"Xiao'e, hurry up and get the tuition for Teacher Ran."
Ran Qiuye smiled and said: "Thank you for cooperating with my work. Don't be in a hurry. It won't be too late on the first day of school."
"It's okay. You've come since you've come. I'll give you everything in the morning and in the evening."
Qin Huairu was worried, but he immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it would be fine if school started.
"Teacher Ran, please pay Jia Geng's tuition on the first day of school."
"Okay, anything is fine."
It was also decided that Liu Yuanyuan’s tuition fees would be paid at the beginning of school.
After all, there are only three households in the courtyard that are as wealthy as Lin Zhen, namely Uncle Yi, Xu Damao and Silly Zhu.
Not everyone can take out a few dollars from their pocket at any time.
Ran Qiuye then said goodbye and left. There were still several hospitals waiting for her to visit.
Qin Huairu felt sad after returning home.
Taking out two yuan and two at once was really unbearable for her.
Banggeng asked: "Mom, can you pay my tuition? Don't worry, Lin Guolin's family will go to elementary school by then, and I will still be running around at home."
Qin Huairu sighed and said, "Don't worry about it, I'll find a way."
She wanted to go find Sha Zhu, but because of the last time she was carried away by Sha Zhu in an outdoor cinema, she was afraid of being gossiped about, so she had not paid much attention to Sha Zhu during this period.
If I suddenly go to him to borrow money, I am afraid that I will be stunned and rejected by the idiot.
She is now hanging on Silly Pillar, waiting for Silly Pillar to take the initiative to talk to her.
It happened that the deaf old lady often went to see Silly Zhu during this period.
As a result, Silly Zhu doesn’t stick to the pole anymore.
After thinking about it, I decided to wait until two days later. Anyway, there are still several days before school starts.
If you really can't do it anymore, put down your airs and look for Shazhu.
Banggeng saw that her mother was worried, and thought that grandma took away 3 yuan of pension money every month, so she might as well pay my tuition fees.
But he didn't dare to say this directly, so he finally thought of Silly Zhu.
During this time, Shazhu didn't come to Jia's house very often, but he brought food back from the factory from time to time, and was still attacked by Bangge.
Things in the house were even touched by stick stalks.
Bangge went directly to Shazhu's house, "Uncle Shazhu, where are you eating?"
Silly Zhu glanced at Banggeng and said with a smile: "Boy, what are you doing here?"
Banggeng said: "Uncle Silly, I'm going to elementary school soon."
"Ok, I know!"
"Teacher Ran is here today."
"So what if I'm here?"
"Teacher Ran is so beautiful!"
"Go away, don't talk to me about this, what do you want to say?"
"Teacher Renran said today that you have to pay tuition for school, which is two yuan and two per semester."
"Of course you have to pay tuition for school. Let your mother pay it soon."
Banggeng pouted and said, "If my mother had money, she would have paid it just now, and now she wouldn't be sitting around worrying."
Silly Zhu smiled proudly and said: "She is still not worried. If she was really worried, she would have come to me long ago."
"Uncle Silly, can you lend me some money?"
Silly Zhu chuckled and said: "Boy, I won't borrow it. This is an adult's business. Don't make trouble. Get out of here. I didn't bring any food today."
BangGeng pouted and left, not wanting to play in the yard anymore.
Xiaodang asked: "Brother, why are you unhappy?"
Banggeng whispered angrily: "I asked Silly Zhu to lend me money, but he wouldn't lend it to me."
Xiaodang's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Our mother said, we have to call him Uncle He, or at worst Uncle Silly, not Silly Zhu!"
Banggeng said disapprovingly: "I will go to elementary school soon. When I go to school, I am an adult. The adults in the courtyard call him Silly Zhu, but I can do it too!"
Xiao Dang said: "Then will you still eat from his lunch box?"
Banggeng snorted, "I'll still eat it, and I'll let him help pay for the tuition this time."
The adults all went to work the next day.
The kindergarten is out for summer vacation, and the children are still at home.
Bangge took advantage of Jia Zhang's lack of attention and went directly into Shazhu's house, while Xiaodang kept watch outside.
The door to Silly Zhu's room is never locked, and Bang Ge knows better than him what's inside.
In the blink of an eye, Banggeng took out Shazhu's radio.
Xiaodang was scared and whispered: "Brother, why did you take the radio?"
"Shhh! Keep your voice down and follow me to the repair shop. Just say it belongs to us and my mother will sell it to pay for the tuition!"
