Chapter 18

"Take these books with you when you go fishing for lobsters tomorrow and give them to Yu Lu." Su Xing went home, cleared the textbooks from the third year of junior high school in Qing Dynasty, and carried them in a plastic bag to Su Hao.

"School starts in two days. Are you going to stop fishing for lobsters?" Su Hao took the book and said, "How about we stop fishing for another two days?"

"No, you have to go in advance. Registration can start now." The city senior high school is in the city, nearly 20 miles away from Su Xing's home. It's impossible to come back every day, and Su Xing wants to go there early and take a look around.

Su Xing took out a wad of money from his pocket and gave it to Su Hao: "Take this money."

"What do you give me this money for?" Su Hao wondered, "You give me money every day, I can't take this money."

"Take it as you are told." Su Xing stuffed the money into Su Hao's pocket, "I'll leave the lobster and eel cage here for you to keep. You know Huang Deren. You can get the lobster and eel to sell in the area.

, it can be a little more expensive, but if you find it troublesome, you can sell it in the town."

It's useless to keep the lobsters and eel cages. After the season, there will be less lobsters and eels, and you can't catch them at all. It's better to leave them to Su Hao. If he has time, he can get them before the season is over and make some money.

some money.

After returning home, I woke up and found that my third uncle Su Changsheng was here, and my third aunt Li Xiaoyun was also there.

Su Changmin has four brothers in his family and one sister. Among the brothers, Su Changmin is the second eldest and the least promising. He does nothing on weekdays and does not think about improving the conditions at home.

Su Changsheng is different. He is very ambitious. He bought some lambs four years ago and grazes the sheep in the village. He can earn some income every year. In March and April this year, his family's house was changed from a brick house to a two-story building.

.

"Xingzi is back." Su Changsheng glanced at Su Xing and greeted, "Are you going to school tomorrow?"

"Well, I'll go tomorrow." Su Xing nodded, a little confused as to why Su Changsheng came here.

Su Xing couldn't say he disliked this third uncle, but he wasn't too close to him either.

In his previous life, Su Xing went to college and couldn't afford the tuition. His family wanted to ask Su Changsheng to borrow some money, but Su Changsheng didn't. Because of this, Su Xing was quite angry and never went to Su Changsheng's house again.

Later, when I entered society, I became more mature, less angry, and more open-minded, so I didn't deliberately avoid Su Changsheng.

Although there is a level of kinship and he is still his uncle, if someone else is rich, it is someone else's money and has little to do with him. If others are willing to borrow it, it is just a matter of friendship. If they are not willing to lend it, they can't say anything.

At most, it would be fine if this relationship slowly fades away.

"A sheep was lost at home." Su Changsheng chatted about home affairs.

"Why was it lost? Was it stolen or lost?" Wang Chunlan asked.

"I don't know. I drove the sheep back the night before yesterday. When I was counting them, I found that one was missing. I could have taken it to sell immediately, but it disappeared. I searched for most of the night and couldn't find it. I even fell down. You

Look, my hands are all scratched." Su Changsheng raised his hand, and there were indeed a few scratches on his arm.

"I have raised that sheep since I was a child. It has been raised well. I know how to go back. How can it get lost? Is it probably stolen?" Wang Chunlan said.

"I don't know, but my family loses a few sheep every year. Mutton is no longer easy to sell. The price of mutton at this time is 50 cents less per kilogram than last year. After a year of hard work, my body is full of mutton smell, and I can't even wash it.

If you don’t get rid of it, your house will be a mess, all of it is sheep manure.” Su Changsheng sighed, “It’s really hard to make money.”

"That's right, you can't make much money just by raising sheep. People still make money by selling bricks. Once the soil is dug and burned in the kiln, you get money. The price of bricks this year is much higher than last year. A brick has increased by two cents.

"Li Xiaoyun then said, "I hauled two carts of bricks at home, they are too expensive."

"Isn't your house already built? Why do you need bricks for it?" Wang Chunlan asked.

"The house has been built, but I still want to make a yard. The ground should be paved with bricks and cement. I also want to make a sheepfold so that the house looks cleaner. I would also like to lay a layer of cement on the ground to let the sheep

It's not that tiring to clean up the excrement." Su Changsheng said, "It's all money. All the money I earn in a year is used to buy bricks and cement."

Wang Chunlan smiled and asked: "How can you have no money if you raise dozens of animals? Do you have any spare money at home?"

"I don't have much money, I'm planning to buy some more lambs, but I'm worried now." Su Changsheng shook his head.

"Don't you have a thousand yuan? Xingzi is about to sign up, and he has to pay for tuition, which is 1,500 yuan. If you have some spare money, lend me a thousand yuan. When the cotton in the field is harvested, you can sell the money

I will pay you back." Wang Chunlan said.

"Why should I borrow money? Changsheng's family is also having difficulties. Didn't you listen to what he said just now? He has no money to buy lambs. He still has to build a yard and lay cement. All of this will cost money. Why did you ask him to borrow money?" Su Changmin

Interjected.

"They are all my brothers. His nephew has to go to school and is short of tuition. I borrowed a little and it's not like I won't pay him back. When the cotton is collected and sold, I will pay it back to him immediately." Wang Chunlan said, "My relatives borrowed money, and I didn't lie.

His money."

Su Changsheng glanced at Li Xiaoyun beside him.

"Where does Xingzi go to school with such an expensive tuition? I heard people say that the tuition for high school is only four or five hundred yuan. His test scores are not bad. I heard you said some time ago that he took the test for 600 yuan.

So many points, how come the tuition is still 1,500 yuan for the best school in the city? It’s not a lie, right?” Li Xiaoyun looked at Wang Chunlan worriedly.

"The school he went to is the best high school in the city. The tuition is more expensive. The four to five hundred yuan tuition you mentioned are ordinary high schools. If his grades are above par, there will be no tuition fees and he will be free of charge."

Wang Chunlan said.

"Then go to an ordinary high school. Why go to a high school with such expensive tuition? You can save a lot of money in three years. Xingzi is so good at studying and his grades are so good. They are not the same wherever they go. Besides, the teachers in the high school

Aren't the levels the same? High schools with poorer conditions are better. Children only know how to study when they go there, and they won't learn badly.

I went to a good high school, and it was in the city. I'm sure I'll get bad at school. I heard that many children now go online and go to game arcades." Li Xiaoyun was very worried and told Su Xing, "You can't go to those places.

"Don't go to a school with such expensive tuition. Just go to an ordinary school. If your family has difficulties, you should think more about your family."

"I have told the two of them a long time ago that we should go to an ordinary school. There is a teacher there who is a relative of my uncle and can help take care of it a little bit. But they didn't listen and insisted on going to a good school.

Spread the money inside." After finally meeting someone who had the same opinion as him, Su Changmin immediately became energetic.
