Chapter 142

August has entered its last ten days. Jiangcheng Media University has also become lively. The students who returned home during the holiday were coming back one after another.

This was the case with Ding Xiang. She basically spent her summer vacation busily working in a part-time job, but later she made time to go back home to visit her grandmother who suddenly fell ill. But she didn’t stay very long. After being reunited with her grandmother for two days, she hurried down the mountain and went back to Jiangcheng.

Back to school, sitting in her dormitory alone, Ding Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. But she dared not slack off. She took off her inner shirt, opened the tightly sewn st.i.tches, and took out the 4,000 yuan banknotes.

She originally took the money back home and wanted to take her grandmother down the mountain to the city for examination and treatment, but her grandmother didn’t want to, saying that the village doctor has better medical skills than the doctor outside. Of course, Ding Xiang knew that her grandma didn’t want to waste the money that her granddaughter had worked so hard to earn.

But Ding Xiang really couldn’t dissuade her grandmother. Seeing her grandmother drink a few bowls of black herbs, and seemed to be in better spirit, she had to take the risk of bringing the money all the way back to school.

Don’t ask why she didn’t deposit the money in the bank! Where can she find a bank in the mountains? And along the way, on the bus and on the train, good and bad people were mixed together, who knows if the one staring at her was a pickpocket?

Ding Xiang didn’t dare to expose this “huge sum” of 4,000 yuan at all. She covered it in her arms in fear all the way, and didn’t dare to take it out until she got back to school.1

In front of the campus ATM machine, Ding Xiang deposited the money into her card, but the girl’s eyes showed sadness.With the money she saved from working in the past year, plus the scholarship, Ding Xiang was able to sc.r.a.pe together the tuition fees for the next academic year, but it was just enough.

Suddenly going home to visit her grandma, the fare expenses along the way, this unexpected expenditure, suddenly made Ding Xiang strapped for cash.

The balance displayed in the ATM: 8,102.

Including the pitiful dozens of loose money in her wallet, the total amount that Ding Xiang has was less than 8,200 yuan. That was to say, after the school deducts 8,000 yuan in tuition fees at the beginning of next month, she would have very little left, which would not be enough for her food expenses next month!

“What to do?” After taking out the bank card and carefully putting it away, this dark skinned and thin Miao girl started to worry.

It was definitely necessary to find a part-time job to earn money, but the problem was that people who do part-time work are paid on a monthly basis. How could Ding Xiang make ends meet if she could only get the money a month later?

“Why don’t I go and see if there are any temporary jobs with daily payment?” While walking to the dormitory, Ding Xiang thought, “Although the work is much harder and give less money, at least I can get through this difficulty first, right?”

“Ding Xiang!” There were several calls from behind. At the beginning, because Ding Xiang’s mind was preoccupied, she wasn’t able to pay attention to it, but then the person called out a few more times and only then did she hear it.Looking back, she saw a short-haired, fair-skinned and capable-looking girl running towards her.

Ding Xiang hid the melancholy in her heart, and showed her white teeth and said with a brilliant smile, “Senior Sister Mao! I’m sorry, I didn’t hear you just now.”

“It’s okay!” Mao Peifu waved her hand, not minding it at all. She asked, “Ding Xiang, when did you get back? How is grandma’s condition? Is everything all right?”

“Everything’s okay. I just got back to school.” Ding Xiang said. Although her skin was a little dark, she was full of smiles, giving people a positive, sunny and cheerful feeling!

Mao Peifu said with a smile, “That’s good! By the way, this year’s orientation work is about to begin. Could you come and help me tomorrow?”

Mao Peifu was the new vice president of the student council of their college. When Ding Xiang first came to the school last year, she was the one who guided the freshmen as an orientation volunteer. She had a very good relationship with the freshmen, and she liked the diligent and hard-working Ding Xiang from the bottom of her heart.

She has always wanted to bring Ding Xiang to the student council, but unfortunately, Ding Xiang was busy working in her spare time to earn tuition fees and living expenses, and has no time to partic.i.p.ate in student activities.

However, if there was a chance, Mao Peifu would often take Ding Xiang to partic.i.p.ate in some paid activities. On the one hand, she would allow her junior sister to earn some extra money. On the other hand, she sincerely hoped that Ding Xiang could enrich her experience and make more contacts.

However, this time, there was no payment for this orientation activity. Mao Peifu was really busy and there were not enough people in the student council, so she wanted to ask Ding Xiang to help organize it.

Ding Xiang promised to do this matter two months ago. At that time, Ding Xiang didn’t expect that her grandmother would suddenly fall ill.“Okay!” Ding Xiang still promised. How could she go back on what she promised others?

However, in this way, there was no way to work part-time during the day.

……

“Yang Yi, why don’t you come and have a look at this kindergarten?” Mo Fei, with a stack of leaflets in her hand, went to the door of the study and called Yang Yi, who was reading quietly.

After talking to Mo Xiaojuan, he has another heavy burden of making money on his shoulders, so Yang Yi has been thinking about what his new book would be.

But once he has the answer, Yang Yi needed to supplement some relevant knowledge. After all, this time he was no longer transporting the whole book, and would not use any reference. He would directly adapt the story with his own style of writing and arranged it into a book.

Mo Fei was very busy. She asked for a large box of promotional materials for kindergarten and decided to make a good selection to ensure that her daughter got into a satisfactory kindergarten.

Of course, this satisfaction referred to Mo Fei’s satisfaction.

“What’s so special about this?” Yang Yi put down the book in his hand and followed Mo Fei to the living room.

Xixi was sitting next to the cat’s nest, playing with her Xiao Guai and two other kittens with the cat stick bought by her father.

In front of the cat stick was a small cloth bag, which was made to look like a mouse, and then a tuft of fluffy artificial feathers emerged on the back, which were very strong.

The shop a.s.sistant was right. No matter big cats or kittens, they had no resistance to the cat stick. Xixi shook the cat stick from side to side, and all three kittens followed and shook their heads from side to side, and then if one of them jumped out and scratched it, the other two were sure to follow.

“Hehe!” Xixi was having more fun than the kitten, and she couldn’t stop giggling.

Yang Yi and Mo Fei shook their heads. They didn’t disturb the little girl’s fun. They went to study the kindergarten.

“This kindergarten is bilingual, and it is relatively close to Jiangcheng Media University, so it will be very convenient for you to pick up and drop off Xixi.” Mo Fei said.

Originally, Mo Fei wanted Xixi to go to a kindergarten in the rich coastal area. But later, considering that it would take some time for Yang Yi to drive to the coastal area, and there would be a lot of trouble in the future, Mo Fei took a step back and tried to choose a kindergarten nearby.

Yang Yi looked at the leaflet, but he frowned and said, “This kindergarten says they would invite college students to do part-time jobs and teach the children? It’s not a full-time preschool education. Wouldn’t that hamper the child’s progress?”

“No! This is good. College students have a wide range of knowledge and solid English skills. Xixi can learn a lot from them.” Mo Fei smiled.

However, hearing her praised college students, Yang Yi fell silent.
