Hard times have room

Chapter 916 Scholarship

After eating, Pauline borrowed her schoolbag to take out the red envelopes from the school out of the space.

As soon as the red envelope appeared, the eyes of Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang were attracted. Before, they were only looking at the admission notice and didn't pay much attention to it. But now that they have read the notice, they should naturally be curious about what's inside. How much did it cost.

"Have I taken it apart?" Pauline said slowly, holding the red envelope and shaking it in front of her parents.

"Oh, hurry up and dismantle it! It's just such a moment, and you are still rushing us." Su Hongying stared nervously at Baolin's hand, and said helplessly.

She just wanted to simply look at the results and satisfy her curiosity. Is it necessary to embarrass her so much?
Anyway, no matter how much money is in the red envelope, she will not touch it. This money is earned by Pauline herself, so let her spend it by herself. Maybe when Pauline starts school, she will make up for her. Woolen cloth!

"Yes, quickly dismantle it!" Sitting opposite Su Hongying, Wang Jiandang was also nervous, keeping his eyes on the red envelope.

His heart has been beating drums, how much money is in the red envelope?
"Okay, I'll tear it down now."

After speaking, Pauline carefully opened the red envelope and took out the cash inside, all of them were ten yuan bills, counting them, there were ten bills.

Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang seemed to have been pressed the pause button. They looked at the banknote in Pauline's hand with wide eyes. I beg you, it was a ten-yuan bill, and there were so many of them. No wonder everyone was saving money. Desperately sending the children to school, no, the reward will come!

"How are you, Pauline? How many notes are there?" Su Hongying looked at the banknotes in Pauline's hand with concern.

With this money, she can let go of half of Baolin's going to university, because with the money, she also has the tickets. Although the tickets given by Mr. Jiang are not a lot, they are only for Baolin alone. If so, it's still pretty impressive.

They had everything at home, there was no shortage of food or drink, and Pauline was outside alone, so they were really worried, so they planned to give all the money tickets to Pauline.

"Ten tickets, a total of 100 yuan." Pauline said with a smile on her lips.

Now that's all right, the tuition fee has been collected.

"That's great. I didn't expect that the school would be so generous. When I made a move, it was 100 yuan. I don't know how much money is in other people's red envelopes."

"The school is really rich!"

Although Su Hongying was also curious about how much money other people put in their red envelopes, she didn't ask after all. After all, in that environment, it was really difficult to ask.

"Yes, the school is really rich." Wang Jiandang also said with emotion.

"Pauline, pack the money quickly, put it in your schoolbag, and put it away. This is your university tuition fee, be careful."

Like Su Hongying, Wang Jiandang was not at all tempted by Pauline's scholarship.

If it was at home, they might ask Pauline to hand over the money to them for safekeeping, and return it to her when Pauline starts school, but for now, forget it!For such a thick red envelope with so much money, only Pauline's schoolbag is the best place to put it. At least one layer of schoolbag skin acts as a protection, so it won't be lost so easily.

"I'll just put it away." Knowing that her parents would not think about the money, she didn't say anything.

Next, the family of three was quite busy. First, they went to the faucet in the cafeteria to fill up the bamboo tube, and then went to the toilet. The soldiers were divided into two groups. Wang Jiandang went to the men's toilet, while Su Hongying and Bao Lin went to the toilet. The only one is the women's toilet.

After these things were over, the family of three did not continue to stay at the school. It was so hard to come to the county. It would be a pity if we only stopped at the school.

Because of the cloth ticket, as soon as she left the school, Su Hongying took Baolin to the department store opposite No. [-] Middle School, intending to pull fabrics for Baolin and make clothes for her when she went home, so that she could wear them in college.

For those who can go to college, most of them are from good families. If Pauline still wears the old tattered and patched clothes, others will look at her strangely, I don’t know if the cloth ticket is enough for her. Pauline made two sets of clothes, so that they could also be worn interchangeably.

It's because she didn't have her own, otherwise Pauline's clothes would not be the same as theirs. After patching one after another, it took two years to make up the cloth for Pauline to make a dress.

"How about this color?" Su Hongying said, pointing to a piece of sky blue fabric on the counter. There are some small floral prints on the fabric, which is very beautiful.

As a mother, she was very clear about her child's preferences. Pauline didn't like bright and flamboyant colors. Her favorites were blue and green, followed by gray and black.

"Yeah, it's beautiful, I like it very much." Pauline nodded in response.

She knew her mother's plan, and there was a high probability that these cloth tickets would become clothes to wear on her body.

The house will get better and better. In the future, not only her, but also her parents will definitely be able to wear new clothes, she promises.

Su Hongying took out all the cloth tickets, including the two-foot cloth tickets brought from home, and tore the cloth.

It's a pity that in the end, only eight feet of cloth was pulled, which was enough to make a suit of clothes for Pauline. With some leftover fabric, maybe I could sew a schoolbag for Pauline. Pauline's schoolbag was too old. It would be nice if it could be replaced.

Pauline picked out those impending tickets, including the two brown sugar tickets, the kind that cost one catty, and she spent them directly in this department store.

There is one thing to say, the things in this public place are cheap. In the black market, brown sugar costs at least seven or eight cents a catty, but here, it only costs forty-five cents.

The two industrial vouchers were also spent, and I replaced it with a sharp kitchen knife. The one at home has long been missing several holes. In some places, when cutting bones, the blade was curled, and there was red rust on it. , The knife at home looks really worn out, I have wanted to change it for a long time, and today I finally succeeded.

As for the food stamps, none of them were moved, and all were left to Pauline.

All the things I bought were put in the pannier carried by Wang Jiandang, and the family of three happily walked out of the department store.

Next, they didn't delay, and went directly to the station, because they didn't have watches, so naturally they didn't know the time. In this case, they had to go to the station in advance to wait for the bus.

Besides, the seats on the bus are limited. In the morning, there are still seven or eight people standing in the bus. Who knows if there will be more people in the afternoon. Of course, it is safest to go early to occupy the seats. , this kind of bumpy journey, it is too exhausting to go back standing up.

In addition, Wang Jiandang went to the black market near the station under the leadership of Pauline. He only stood at the entrance of the alley where people come and go for a while, and did not go in. He just came to recognize the place today.
