Chapter 410 Good Deeds
Although it was tiring to reverse the car, Uncle Lu was still energetic when he got home. After eating, he put down the bowl and chopsticks and went out immediately. Lu Ping was puzzled by his impatient look.
Lu Ping said: "Grandma, Brother Shanzi is moving his household registration, so there is no need for grandpa to be so anxious, right?"
Aunt smiled and said: "Your grandpa didn't go to find the captain, he went to your uncle Shitou's house."
Lu Ping was born in the army, and later Lu Jiaguang retired and studied in the city. Both husband and wife are very busy, and they rarely go back to their hometown, so they don't know much about their relatives in their hometown.
Aunt explained the situation of Shitou's family: "This time, your aunt said that she wanted to sponsor children in the clan who are smart and can study but have no money to study, and your grandpa thought of Xiaoyu first."
Lu Ping knew that Lu Jiaxin wanted to sponsor poor students in the clan, but he didn't know that Uncle Lu was in a hurry because of this matter.
The eldest aunt said with a smile on her face: "What your aunt did is a great deed. With your aunt, our Lu clan will become more and more prosperous."
Lu Ping nodded and said: "My aunt is great, I want to learn from her."
Shitou's family was eating, and they were surprised to see Uncle Lu, but they hurried over to greet him to sit down: "Uncle Tiejun, when did you come back?"
Uncle Lu said that he had just come back. After sitting down, he looked at the thin Xiaoyu and felt very distressed. He didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "Shitou, I came here to tell you about Xiaoyu's schooling.
Xiaoyu looked up at him suddenly, but thought about the situation at home and couldn't help but lower his head.
Shitou's eyes were full of bitterness: "Uncle Tiejun, I also know that children can only have a promising future if they study, and I also want to provide for them. You also know the situation of our family, we really can't afford it."
Uncle Lu said: "It's like this, Jiaxin told me that she wants to support children in the clan who have excellent grades but can't afford it at home. Xiaoyu always gets 100 points in every exam, and studies very hard, which meets the requirements. "
Shitou asked in disbelief: "Uncle Tiejun, what did you say?"
Xiaoyu stared at Uncle Lu with wide eyes, afraid that what he just heard was an illusion.
Uncle Lu repeated what he just said, and then said: "You don't have to worry about the child's tuition and book fees, you just need to provide him with food and drink."
The main reason for saying this is because of what happened to Zaohua's mother. However, normal families, especially boys, will support their children as long as they can study unless there is really no other way.
Shitou pulled Xiaoyu to Uncle Lu and said excitedly: "Kid, kowtow to your uncle quickly and thank him for letting you continue to study. ”
He also thought how great it would be if his son could be as lucky as Zaohua to get financial aid, so that he could go to university and eat government food. But he knew it was impossible, so he just thought about it. He never expected that luck would really fall on his family.
Xiaoyu immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Uncle Lu.
Uncle Lu was old and his reaction was not so fast. When he leaned over to help Xiaoyu, the child had already kowtowed three times. He said: "If you want to thank someone, thank Aunt Jiaxin. She sponsored your study."
Xiaoyu kowtowed three more times: "Uncle, please tell Aunt Jiaxin on my behalf that Xiaoyu is grateful for her kindness and I will definitely repay her in the future."
After helping the person up, Uncle Lu said: "Xiaoyu, your Aunt Jiaxin is going to sponsor children with excellent grades. If you want to get financial aid, you must get more than 90 points in Chinese and mathematics when you return to school. ”
This refers to elementary school. Junior high school and high school have different requirements. But it is not too demanding, just enough to be able to enter high school and junior college.
Xiaoyu nodded heavily.
Uncle Lu said again: "Shitou, Xiaoyu, this subsidy only goes up to high school. After you are admitted to university, you have to find a way to pay for the expenses. But if you really can't afford the tuition, you can borrow the first year's tuition and pay it back after you get a job."
After saying this, he added: "Jiaxin also sponsored Zaohua until she graduated from high school, but didn't take care of her university. Zaohua has found a job in Yangcheng now, and I heard that the salary is good. "
Shitou asked puzzledly: "Uncle Tiejun, isn't it free to go to university?"
After hearing the request written by Lu Jiaxin, Uncle Lu also asked the same question. He said: "Jiaxin said that going to university now is free because there are few college students now. In ten years, when there are more college students, tuition fees will be charged. "
Lu Jiaxin also said that college students would no longer be assigned jobs. Uncle Lu understood that more jobs were worthless, but he didn't say it. First, it was too advanced and second, it might break the fantasy of these parents who didn't want their children to study. Even if there is no job, going to college is definitely more promising than being illiterate.
Shitou didn't think much about it. Even if going to college costs money, if you get into college, you don't have to dig in the fields for food. And as long as the child gets into college, it will be easy not to borrow tuition fees.
Then Uncle Lu went to the next family. The child in that family also had excellent grades, but because she was a girl, her parents supported her for three years and said that girls should not be blind, so they didn't let her go.
When Uncle Lu went to say it, the child's parents were still hesitating.
Uncle Lu said: "My daughter Xinxin will help her brothers as soon as she has a promising future. Jiajie started a business under her guidance and has now bought a house in Sijiu City; Jiazong also bought a shop with her help, and now he doesn't have to be exposed to the wind and sun. If your Mei'er has a promising future, she will definitely help her brothers and sisters. You too will be able to enjoy the blessing of having a daughter in the future."
"Nowadays, we don't talk about the saying that married daughters are like water poured out. In the new society, both men and women are the same and have to provide for their parents in their old age. But if you don't study, your daughter won't be able to marry into a good family. When you are old and sick and can't move, she will be powerless even if she wants to take care of you."
After Uncle Lu's persuasion, Mei'er's mother agreed to let her continue to study. Since studying doesn't cost money, let the child try it if there is such an opportunity. It would be best if she can study, but if she can't, the child can't blame her.
Uncle Lu ran around for two days and visited all the children who dropped out of school with excellent grades. Only two families who were particularly patriarchal refused, and the other 17 families agreed. Those who studied but had poor families and excellent grades also met the conditions for funding, and Uncle Lu also registered them.
Some of them had good family conditions and brought their children to Uncle Lu with the idea that it would be a bastard not to take advantage of the opportunity. Needless to say, they were scolded and left by Uncle Lu.
Uncle Lu knew everything about the Lu clan, so he couldn't lie.
After sorting out the list, he called Lu Jiaguang and told him that there were 29 children who needed financial aid. Among them, there were 15 elementary school students, 8 junior high school students, and 6 high school students.
It was not that he didn't want to call Jiaxin, but the brigade did not have international long-distance calls, so he had to ask Lu Jiaguang to pass on the message.
Lu Jiaguang's unit's phone could not reach Gangcheng, so he went to the post office during the lunch break. The call was connected, but the servant said that Lu Jiaxin went to study abroad.
It would be nice to have more monthly tickets, looking at you eagerly, then looking down at the empty bowl in his hand, tears welled up in his eyes.
