20 years of teaching

Chapter 68

"Mr. Lin, what's the matter with you?" Under a camphor tree, Li Tuanjie fanned the wind with the registration book in his hand.

There were mud marks on the warehouse pipe, his face was as black as charcoal, and his hands were dirty with a lot of mud on them.

It was obvious that he had just come back from fishing and hurried to the classroom and forgot to wash his hands.

"Ms. Li, Li Minyao in your class..."

Before Lin Feifei finished speaking, Li Tuanjie immediately said, "Is Li Minyao your relative?"

Lin Feifan explained: "Uh, no, she lives next door to me with her mother and sister."

Li Tuanjie squeezed his nose a few times with his right hand, and said: "I knew this yesterday, I went to her room. Teacher Lin, I'm sorry, I can't help you with this matter. You have to go to the principal, but I don't think you can find the principal." .”

"Mr. Li, do you know the reason why I'm looking for you? Why is it useless?" Lin Feifan looked at Li Tuanjie's nose and said with a smile.

"It must be about the tuition fee! Teacher Lin, a close neighbor is not as good as a distant relative. Otherwise, you will be responsible for Li Minyao this semester, or she will not be able to study."

"Okay, I just need your words, I can go to Principal Shi right now." Lin Feifei smiled.

"Then I really thank you!" Li Tuan wrote Li Minyao's name on the registration booklet, and then handed the pen to Lin Feifan, "Mr. Lin, please sign your name on the back."

Lin Feifan took the pen, signed his name behind Li Minyao, and asked, "Mr. Li, is that enough?"

"Yeah, that's enough. As Li Minyao's class teacher, I would like to express my deep gratitude to you again." Li Tuanjie smiled happily and bowed to Lin Feifan.

"Oh, Mr. Li, this is nothing, just a signature." Lin Feifei took a step back in shock.

I am so young, I can't bear it.

How can I accept this great gift by signing my name?
"I won't accompany you anymore, I have to go to the classroom quickly." Li Tuan turned around and hurried to the classroom.

"Mr. Li, let me help you together." Lin Feifan followed.

Li Tuanjie hurriedly stopped and said, "No need, registration is very simple and fast, you can go to the principal."

"Then...you tell Li Minyao not to worry about tuition fees, you can't drive her out of the classroom, and you have to send her books when you distribute them." Lin Feifan urged.

Li Tuanjie said with a smile: "Don't worry, how can I not want her in the classroom? With your signature, she will be treated the same as the students who paid the money."

After Li Tuanjie finished speaking, he strode towards the classroom.

"Teacher Li, wait a moment." Lin Feifan shouted.

Li Tuan turned around and looked very nervous: "Mr. Lin has regretted it?"

"Why are you regretting it? Wipe your nose." Lin Feifei laughed.

"Wipe your nose?" Li Tuanjie was stunned.

Lin Feifan pointed to his nose and tapped it several times, teaching Li Tuanjie where to wipe.

On Li Tuanjie's nose, around the nostrils, and between the nose and mouth, there were mud marks all over.

Li Tuanjie first touched his nose with his hands, and finally understood. He smiled and wiped his nose repeatedly with his arm, and ran to the classroom while wiping.

Seeing the head teacher walk into the classroom, and then looking outside, she found that Teacher Lin had gone to other places. Li Minyao stopped reading, her breathing became short of breath, and she looked nervous.

All the parents gathered around, Li Tuanjie turned sideways to find a space, and waved to Li Minyao.

Li Minyao trembled slightly, stood up, left her seat and walked to the edge of the podium.

Li Tuanjie held up the registration booklet and said to Li Minyao: "You are the first to register, and the book will be distributed tomorrow, so study hard!"

Li Minyao felt relieved, with tears streaming down her face, she nodded and returned to her seat.

The deskmate had already returned the English book. Li Minyao turned to the middle page and read the text silently. She had already previewed the fourth lesson.

In the principal's office, Shi Yuming quietly listened to Lin Feifan talking about Li Minyao.

After Lin Feifei finished speaking, Shi Yuming said slowly: "I know Li Minyao's family situation and academic performance. You can tell me directly what is the purpose of your seeking me today."

Lin Feifan said: "This child is really pitiful. Her academic performance is so good. I think the school should exempt her from tuition and miscellaneous fees."

Shi Yumin smiled and said, "Teacher Lin is sympathetic and cares about students. It's very good to make such a suggestion."

Lin Feifan couldn't help being very happy, he didn't expect that Li Minyao's tuition and miscellaneous fee problem would be solved so quickly.

"However, it is absolutely impossible to exempt Li Minyao's tuition and miscellaneous fees. No one can be exempted from paying tuition and miscellaneous fees, even if the child is the first in the school." The smile on Shi Yuming's face disappeared, and his expression was serious.

"Why?" Lin Feifan suddenly felt that Principal Shi was too cruel and ruthless.

Principal Shi smiled wryly and said: "You just came here, and you don't know some things about the school. School expenses are very large, including textbook fees, teachers' attendance fees, substitute teachers' wages, handymen's wages, various equipment purchases, water and electricity bills, Material fees, final exam fees, house maintenance, etc., all rely on the tuition and miscellaneous fees collected at the beginning of this period.”

"Won't the higher-ups give me some money?" Lin Feifan asked.

Principal Shi said: "Here, I will give the teachers' salaries, but every penny of the money will be given to the teachers, and it will just pass through the school's account."

"Won't you give me some office expenses?" Lin Feifan asked.

Principal Shi shook his head with a sigh, and said: "The township education committee charges a management fee of [-] yuan per student. During the final exam, the Education Bureau organizes the exam uniformly and also collects the exam fee according to the number of students. To send office fees to the school, we have to pay part of the money to go up.”

Lin Feifan scratched his scalp and said with a sneer: "Principal Shi, can you waive Li Minyao's money alone? With so many students in the school, there should be no shortage of her money alone."

"No!" Principal Shi said firmly.

old man goriot!miser!Nothing!Ruthless!

Lin Feifan lowered his head, frowned, and scolded Principal Shi in his heart.

Seeing Lin Feifei's unhappy face, Principal Shi explained: "There are many children from poor families like Li Minyao in the school, and some of them have very good grades. If one is exempted, the head teachers and parents of other classes will be even. There are two, there are two, there are three, there are three, there are four, and children from poor families will be exempted from tuition and miscellaneous fees, then our Jinghu Junior High School will be closed. The children’s tuition and miscellaneous fees can’t be collected.”

"Children from good families are also equal? ​​It's too exaggerated." Lin Feifei was still very unhappy. He thought that Principal Shi was making excuses.

"The children in our Jinghu Junior High School are all from the surrounding areas of Jinghu Lake. How can they be better if the conditions are better?" Principal Shi paused and took a sip of water, "Oh, if all the children belonging to our Jinghu Junior High School area If we can come here to study, our financial situation will be much better, maybe we can consider exempting a few children from tuition and miscellaneous fees, but the tuition and miscellaneous fees charged now are not enough to make ends meet.”
