Zhou Zichen still didn't return to the detective agency that night. He admitted that he was scared. He was really afraid that Wang Ziqi would touch his bed again. He failed to control it last time and almost cooked the rice.
Yesterday when I picked up Yaya, I promised the dean and grandma that I would visit his old man today. I had breakfast at the orphanage and drove straight to the hospital alone.
Xia Xiaorong and Yaya got along quite well. Yaya played with her and didn't chase after Zhou Zichen.
When Zhou Zichen rushed to the hospital, he found that Wang Ziqi was also there.
"Why are you here?" Zhou Zichen was a little surprised.
Wang Ziqi turned back with a smile and looked at Zhou Zichen: "Don't you really want to see me?"
Zhou Zichen smiled bitterly: "How is that possible? I don't think you can even come in a hurry."
It's not that Zhou Zichen doesn't want to see Wang Ziqi, he's just afraid that Wang Ziqi will crawl into his bed in the middle of the night.
"You two have been arguing all your life and you've never gotten tired of it!" The dean's grandma was used to it when she saw the two of them bickering. The two of them had been arguing since they were children, but when they were little, Wang Ziqi had the upper hand more often.
"Grandma, how old are we now? It's still early in our lives!" Zhou Zichen said and sat down beside the bedside of the dean's grandma: "Are you feeling better recently? You look pretty good."
"What's good? It's still the same as before. You two are quite old now. You've been arguing for more than 20 years and you're still the same. Grandma thinks it's good for you two to be together." The dean's grandma looked at her kindly.
He said to the two of them.
Zhou Zichen wanted to refute, but couldn't find any good reason at all.
But Wang Ziqi was very proud and nodded repeatedly: "Grandma, I think it's pretty good too."
Zhou Zichen almost fell over. Was she so proactive?
The dean's grandma gently patted Wang Ziqi: "You don't know how to be reserved. Since you are so proactive, I haven't seen you confessing your love to Zichen."
"He doesn't want to, grandma, just tell me about him!" Wang Ziqi said coquettishly.
Zhou Zichen was speechless. Wang Ziqi still had to send in reinforcements.
"Okay, okay!" The dean's grandma took Wang Ziqi's hand and looked at Zhou Zichen: "Zichen, grandma is not forcing you. She just hopes that you two can get results as soon as possible. I think you also hope that Ziqi will do this.
It’s a child, how about you promise grandma today to take care of him for the rest of his life?”
Is this good or bad? Zhou Zichen was immediately confused.
The dean's grandmother waited for a long time, and when Zhou Zichen didn't speak, she felt a little disappointed: "If you don't want to, I won't force you. Do you have someone you like?"
Seeing the disappointed look on the dean's grandmother's face, Zhou Zichen couldn't bear it and said quickly: "I am willing, why wouldn't I be willing? Ziqi will be left to me from now on. I will definitely take care of her for the rest of my life."
As soon as Zhou Zichen said these words, the dean's grandmother immediately beamed with joy, and Wang Ziqi also smiled proudly.
The dean's grandma took the hands of the two of them and said: "You must live a harmonious life in the future, and you are already quite old. Find a day, get the marriage certificate, and have a child as soon as possible. I
I just look forward to seeing your children in my lifetime."
"Grandma, don't be in a hurry to get married. You will definitely be able to see our child!" Zhou Zichen thought to himself: "If I really get together with her, then it's okay. I guess she will drain all my money. When the time comes, it will be hard."
After decades of hard work, it’s time to return to before liberation.”
The dean's grandma pretended to be angry: "Why don't you worry? You are in your twenties. In our time, children were several years old."
"Grandma, this is incomparable to your time."
"Why can't we compare? Aren't they both men and women?"
The two of them stayed with the dean's grandma in the hospital for a whole morning. Wang Ziqi also wanted to deal with club matters, and Zhou Zichen agreed to Yaya and would take him to register for school. In addition, the dean's grandma's energy was also a little unbearable and she needed to rest.
.
Zhou Zichen originally wanted to send Xia Xiaorong to elementary school, but Xia Xiaorong was not old enough and had to be over six years old, so he had to let her go to kindergarten first.
Yaya's situation is quite special. There is a quota limit for public elementary schools. Yaya didn't get one, so she had to go to a private school.
In fact, many children in orphanages cannot go to public schools. Nowadays, public schools are a bit better. Nine-year compulsory education basically does not cost much. You only need to pay some living expenses, and the government will subsidize tuition and miscellaneous fees.
Private schools are usually much more expensive than public schools. Although the state still provides subsidies, you have to pay all the fees before applying for subsidies. Some people do not have all the documents to get them.
There is basically no problem with the subsidies for orphanages, which are more than those for ordinary people.
Although private schools are more expensive, there are still many people who sign up.
These people are usually migrant workers. Public school places will be given first to children with local registered permanent residence, and then to local non-locals who own houses. Finally, the remaining places will be selected from the children of these migrant workers with outstanding academic performance.
, even if their children’s grades are much better than those of local children, they will most likely not be able to go to public schools.
"I beg you, please, please let my child come to school first, and I will pay the tuition when I get my salary." A man in his thirties knelt on the ground at the payment desk, begging bitterly.
The staff member was a girl. Seeing the man like this, she was helpless: "You should get up first. There's no point in begging me. I'm just a worker."
"Tell me which leader I can find to be accommodating, and I'll beg him." The man said with a slight cry.
The staff member said: "I don't know about this. We are a private school, that is, a school built with personal funds. We teach the tuition fees to the finance department and give them to the school director in the accounts."
"Oh... forget it, you don't understand what I'm telling you. I advise you to raise money first. There are still four days left to register. The tuition fee is 6,600 yuan, and you can still get 2,500 yuan from the government by then.
subsidy."
The staff still wanted to help the man, but she was only a part-time worker, so what she could do was limited.
People around me are also urging, and everyone is waiting to pay tuition.
The man had no choice but to walk out with red eyes.
Zhou Zichen led Yaya and followed him out, only to see the man standing by the trash can at the end of the corridor smoking, wiping his eyes from time to time.
Zhou Zichen walked up and said, "Brother, are you having trouble?"
Zhou Zichen originally asked a normal question, but this sentence was like a needle that pierced the last line of defense in the man's heart. Tears flowed out of the man's heart instantly, and he squatted on the ground and choked.
"Brother Zichen, uncle is crying!" Yaya looked at the man and seemed a little heartbroken.
"Brother, what difficulties have you encountered?" Zhou Zichen asked again.
The man's whole body was shaking, and the cigarette in his hand fell to the ground.
The man cried a few times and then he stopped crying and wiped the tears from his eyes: "I'm sorry, I couldn't hold it back."
Zhou Zichen took out a piece of paper and handed it to the man: "It doesn't matter, my name is Zhou Zichen!"
"I...my name is Du Youcai." Du Youcai was obviously a little unfamiliar when he introduced his name, as if he was not used to such self-introduction.
"Brother Du, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Zichen asked. The person who knelt down and begged at the school payment desk must be for his own children's study.
Zhou Zichen knew that Xiuxin Primary School was a relatively poor school. Very few students who studied in this school were admitted to public middle schools when they were promoted from primary school to junior high school.
Du Youcai wiped his tears with paper: "Our foreman ran away, and my wife and I didn't get our wages..."
It turns out that Du Youcai and his wife were doing small jobs on the construction site. Such small foremans would not pay monthly wages. If you want money, just pay a little. When a project is completed, you can get all the money from the project at once.
salary.
But after the project was completed, the foreman ran away, and they had no place to find anyone. It happened to be the time when their children needed money to study, and the more than six thousand yuan really stumped the couple.
"Brother, do you have an ID card?" Zhou Zichen asked.
Du Youcai was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes!"
"Let me see!"
Du Youcai took out his ID card and handed it to Zhou Zichen.
Zhou Zichen looked at the information on his ID card: "Why don't you find a job with the construction engineering team?"
Du Youcai said: "They don't want us. The people under them work in groups and are easy to manage. We have to find small contractors."
Zhou Zichen returned his ID card to Du Youcai, and took out a business card to Du Youcai: "I will pay your child's tuition fees first. If you want, you can go to work at Chenlong Construction. Just say I let you
If you go, the salary will be the same as the market price."
For Du Youcai, this was a piece of cake in the sky. He took his ID card and business card and knelt down: "Thank you, thank you, Boss Zhou, thank you, I will definitely repay your money."
Zhou Zichen helped Du Youcai up: "You don't have to thank me, thank yourself! You must be a good father. You are not in a hurry to pay back the money. Let's go! Let's pay the tuition first."
When Du Youcai came back, the staff were a little surprised, and they were even more surprised to see Zhou Zichen helping him pay his tuition. However, they only collected money from the boss and didn't ask too many questions.
After paying the tuition, Du Youcai quickly called his wife and children over and apologized to Zhou Zichen.
Zhou Zichen also heard that Du Youcai and his wife planned to treat him to a meal, but they didn't have much money. They were embarrassed to go to fast food restaurants and food stalls. They didn't have enough money to go to a big hotel, so they finally bought two bottles of water for Zhou Zichen.
.
With Du Youcai's family being extremely grateful, Zhou Zichen led Yaya away, and he still wanted to pick up Wang Zitao.
Wang Zitao also studied in this school. In fact, although the tuition fees charged by this school are expensive, the teaching quality is also excellent.
As soon as Wang Zitao saw Zhou Zichen and Yaya, he ran up excitedly: "Brother Zichen, Yaya, you have to study too!"
"Yes! Brother Taotao and I will come together then!" Yaya replied solemnly.
"Brother Zichen, in order to celebrate Yaya going to school, let's go eat delicious food!" Wang Zitao said in a ghostly manner.
Zhou Zichen said dotingly: "Okay, how about Pizza Hut? Yaya likes that one."
"Okay! Okay!" The two little guys suddenly shouted excitedly.
