Cheng Qiao looked back and saw a man in blue casual clothes, with a non-mainstream hairstyle, long hair that almost covered his eyes, healthy wheat-colored skin, and about the same height as Lin Qi, almost 1.8 meters. A headset rested on his shoulder. Who is this? Cheng Qiao thought for a while, and seeing that it was not someone he knew, he prepared to leave.

The man hurriedly ran in front of her and handed over his latest Motorola flip phone, "Hey, you can try my phone."

"Who are you?"

"I'm Wu Qi!" He saw Cheng Qiao was still confused after he finished speaking, so he continued to introduce himself, "A month ago, I lost three hundred, the one you gave me."

After hearing this, Cheng Qiao remembered and nodded, "Oh, it's you!"

"Yes! I saw you were on the phone just now. You used a landline, and many people thought it was a scam." Wu Qi said, "Give me the phone, I'll help you try it."

Cheng Qiao handed over his business card, and he nodded, "Head of the Children's Department of Xinghua Middle School!"

"you know?"

"I don't know him! Look at the note below: Director!" He said this and moved closer. The two were less than ten centimeters apart. Cheng Qiao frowned. She didn't like to get too close to strangers, so she took a step back.

He scratched his head awkwardly and smiled at Cheng Qiao. Then he quickly unlocked the phone and dialed the number. The other end still had an impatient voice. Wu Qi replied, "It's not a sales pitch. I have something to talk to you about."

After he finished speaking, he quietly asked Cheng Qiao what it was about. When Cheng Qiao said it was about the registration, he loudly said, "Registration."

The other party said that they should go to the school front desk directly for registration. Wu Qi was furious. "Didn't you give your business card to someone and ask them to make a call for you? That proves that this person is very important! With your attitude towards important people, it's no wonder that Xinghua Middle School is getting worse and worse. It's because of idiots like you, who are so absent-minded in doing things, that you are still making calls..."

Tong Jian heard the endless scolding and left the card table angrily, ready to give this guy a good argument. But after he left the room, he suddenly remembered that he rarely handed out business cards, and this guy might be a young master from a certain family, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm Wu Qi!" he said after answering, "I'm not looking for you."

Then he handed the phone to Cheng Qiao, who took it and said, "Hello, Teacher Tong. I'm Cheng Qiao. I brought my brother here last month to inquire about the registration. You asked me to come back and discuss it with my family. I finally convinced my family to come to Xinghua..."

"Are you the kid who got into No. 1 Middle School with over 600 points in the exam?"

"Yep."

"Oh! We called the number you left the next day. I think it was your aunt? She said you were going to No. 1 Middle School, so we..." He finished and asked again, "Are you sure you're going to Xinghua this time?"

"Yes! I have been convincing my family for a long time." Cheng Qiao said, "But my mother still doesn't want to go. She wants me to go to No. 5 Middle School. She said that Xinghua's college admission rate has not been high in the past two years. And the benefits here at Xinghua..."

"Student Cheng, please invite your family to talk to us together." Tong Jian said anxiously, "We can promise to waive all tuition fees for this semester. As for the second semester and beyond, we can discuss it again. Can we meet with your parents tomorrow?"

Cheng Qiao jumped up with joy when she heard that the tuition was waived. After calming down, she replied, "Teacher Tong, my mother has to work during the day and is only free at night. After eight o'clock."

"Evening is fine, how about eight o'clock tomorrow night?"

"I need to go back and discuss it with my mother first. Maybe in the next few days! As for the day, I'll call you later."

"Can I use this phone number to contact you?"

Cheng Qiao looked up at the boy and was about to refuse, but Wu Qi took the phone and said, "No problem, you can call or send a message."

He hung up right after answering and smiled at Cheng Qiao, "Your name is Cheng Qiao?"

"Well, thank you for what I just did."

"You're welcome, it's just a small matter." He waved his hand, "Do you live nearby?"

"Yeah!" Cheng Qiao nodded and followed him back. However, after walking ten steps, Cheng Qiao stopped. She was a little wary. "Well, you don't have to send me off. My home is just downstairs."

"My grandma's house is also there! It's in the Zhenghe community in front." He pointed to a place two hundred meters away from them.

"Oh! OK." Cheng Qiao walked quickly to Zhenghe Community and waved at him, then ran away without waiting for his reaction. Wu Qi followed her after he reacted, and saw her enter the Heyuan Community next door. He stopped at the entrance of the community with a smile on his face, [Xinghua Middle School! OK, a good choice.]

Cheng Qiao stopped walking after entering the community, thinking as she walked, it seems that the first step after receiving her salary is to buy a mobile phone. She didn't think it was inconvenient when living in the countryside before, but now she thinks it's really inconvenient. But she was thinking as she walked how to communicate with Cheng's mother when she returned...

At this time, Zhang Yandi had just packed up his things and walked out. He leaned against the door and looked at the oval moon and sighed slightly. [I didn't see you during the summer vacation. I can only see you at school in ten days. Can I see you only in ten days? Or will I have to wait until September 1st like last year? ]

"Xiaodi, it's hot outside, come in and rest early." Father Zhang shouted.

"Okay!" Zhang Yandi replied loudly, then looked at the moon and said softly, "Qiao, I hope to see you in ten days. I miss you!"

……

For three consecutive days, Cheng Qiao hadn't thought of how to tell Cheng's mother. After all, getting into No. 1 Middle School was not only her dream, but also Cheng's mother's dream. She looked for work every day during holidays to support her to the best of her ability. But she had to tell her in the next two days. High school starts on the 20th. This matter must be implemented in the next few days.

On Thursday, August 8, after a busy day, the three of them returned home and sat in the air-conditioned room after dinner. Cheng's mother was about to wash the dishes, but Cheng Qiao stopped her and said, "Mom, I have something to discuss with you."

Cheng's mother put down the bowl and sat down, and asked gently, "What's wrong?"

"Mom, I want to study in Xinghua Middle School for high school." Cheng Qiao looked at her seriously and said.

Cheng's mother was stunned, then asked, "Why?"

"Mom, they offer free tuition," Cheng Qiao said. "The most important thing is that it's close to home. I can eat three meals a day at home, which also saves a lot of money."

"I heard that their school has not achieved much in recent years." Cheng's mother said, "and the high school students in their school are those who come from well-off families but don't study hard."

"Mom, you have to rely on yourself to learn." Seeing that Cheng's mother was still a little hesitant, she grabbed her hand, looked into her eyes and said seriously, "Gold shines everywhere."
