Chapter 1636: Work Is Done, Oil Field Donations
Zhou Chen and others cooperated with the comrades from the police station to record the confession, which was not completed until after 11 o'clock.
Li Si and Li Dahai and his son followed the old lady home, while the rest of Zhou Chen and others stayed in a hotel, so they went to the hotel where Zhou Chen had stayed before.
The next day, Li Dahai's car had not been repaired, but Xiao Fang said that the children could not delay their studies, so he asked everyone to get up early to pack up and prepare to take the car back to Linqi Oilfield at noon.
But when he was about to leave, Yuan Shanqing jumped out and refused.
"Director Xiao, I can't go back, I have to stay and work to make money."
"What kind of job do you want to earn?"
When Xiao Fang heard this, she became angry. What happened in the past few days was caused by Yuan Shanqing coming out to work. Although she knew the ins and outs of the matter, she did not blame her. Instead, she felt that Yuan Shanqing was very pitiful. She felt very distressed, but this did not mean that she agreed to let Yuan Shanqing drop out of school and go work.
"Yuan Shanqing, how old are you? You are sixteen years old. You are also a child laborer when you go to work. Haven't you learned your lesson from this incident? If something happens to you, what will your sister do in the future? Who can take care of her?"
Yuan Shanqing looked pitiful and weak, and whispered: "But I want to make money for my sister's surgery. Only after the surgery can she hear."
Xiao Fang suddenly choked up. She knew the situation of Yuan Shanqing's sister Xiaozi, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
However, Cheng Pengfei persuaded: "Yuan Shanqing, Director Xiao is right. You are still young and working part-time is too dangerous. Our family can contribute some money for Xiaozi's surgery fee, and we can think of other solutions for the rest."
Yuan Shanqing shook his head firmly: "No, Uncle Cheng, we have already caused you a lot of trouble before. We can't cause you any more trouble. I want to make money myself."
"Nonsense."
Xiao Fang shouted, "Your main task now is to study, not to work. I will find a way to deal with your sister, but you must go back with us today."
"Director Xiao, there's nothing we can do. I have to make money myself." Yuan Shanqing still insisted.
"You are so capable and you still make money by yourself. Stop talking and listen to me. I have already thought of a way."
"Director Xiao, do you really have any idea?"
Cheng Yaya asked with surprise on her face.
"Of course. How can I, a dean of students, deceive you children?"
Xiao Fang looked dissatisfied and then said: "When I return to school, I will ask the principal for instructions. Yuan Shanqing's situation is very special. I can call on all the teachers and students in the school to make a donation to her and her sister."
"Donate?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard the method Xiao Fang said. Only Zhou Chen expected it, because the plot also developed in this way. Yuan Shanqing's sister Xiaozi's surgery fee was obtained through donations from the school.
Don't underestimate the donation capacity of a school. There is strength in numbers. There are thousands of students. The more you donate, the more you donate less, and the less you donate less. In addition, there are so many teachers. The total amount of money will definitely not be small.
Yuan Shanqing was finally strongly persuaded by Xiao Fang and agreed to go back with everyone.
After Li Si and Li Dahai came to meet up, the group bought tickets and took a bus back to the Linqi Oilfield Base, and did not return to the oilfield until evening.
The women from several families had been waiting early. Niu Lingling, Jia Daiyu, Sun Xiuyun, Hu Yue and Hu Qiumin also came. Even Gao Feiyang and Han Shu came to the station to greet them.
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."
They were very happy that everyone came back safe and sound. They already knew what happened in Weihai before, and they felt uneasy. It was not until they saw everyone returning safely that they completely let go of their worries.
As soon as Zhou Chen comforted his aunt, he saw Han Shu standing next to Yuan Shanqing asking for help. He turned to look at him inadvertently, so he showed a warm and bright smile to Han Shu. Han Shu quickly moved away after seeing it. look.
From Han Shu's performance and eyes, he could feel that Han Shu had different emotions towards him, but she also knew their current situation very well, so she concealed it well, but she met him, a man with extremely emotional feelings. A rich time traveler, her eyes cannot deceive him.
…………
The day after returning to the oil field base, Xiao Fang organized a collective donation from teachers to students, and also held a school-wide meeting. Teachers and classmates all showed their love and donated money to Yuan Shanqing.
Not only Lin No. 72 Middle School, Xiao Fang and the school also contacted the leaders of the higher-level oil fields. After the leaders studied the situation, they also publicized the situation within the oil fields, allowing residents of the oil fields to make voluntary donations.
Although there are not many people in the oil field who are willing to donate due to Yuan Yong's incident, the amount collected is not a small sum. Coupled with the donations from all the teachers and students of Lin No. 72 Middle School, Yuan Shanzi's surgery expenses have been collected. , and even a few more.
Yuan Shanqing also wrote a letter of thanks specifically for this matter, thanking everyone who donated to them, and that he could continue to study in school.
Zhou Chen and others, including Yuan Shanqing, gathered outside the greenhouse, and Li Si spoke with great emotion.
"Really, after what happened this time, Xiao Fang's image in my mind suddenly became so high."
Cheng Miaomiao also said: "Me too, it seems that our previous impression of Xiao Fang was too one-sided. Now Xiao Fang is the real Director Xiao, worthy of the respect and admiration of all of us. I promise not to talk to Xiao Fang again in the future. The director got it right.”
Hu Qiumin said with emotion: "Yes, we have been fighting with Director Xiao for so many years, and only today did we realize that she is really good."
The three of them used to talk about Xiao Fang behind her back a lot, and they didn't say anything good. Now thinking about it, they all wanted to slap themselves in the face.
Yuan Shanqing was even more moved and said: "I will never forget Director Xiao's kindness in my life, and so will you. Thank you, thank you all."
"You don't have to be like this, Yuan Shanqing, we are good friends, and good friends should help each other."
"Ya Ya is right, Yuan Shanqing, don't be polite to us, we are a group now."
"Yes, yes, if you have difficulties in the future, you can find Ya Ya. If Ya Ya can't solve it, you can come to us, and we will definitely help you."
Yuan Shanqing suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to several people: "If you need anything in the future, you must call me, I can do anything."
The donation has arrived, and the next step is to find a way to arrange for Yuan Shanzi to go to Beijing for surgery, but this matter cannot be rushed. Now Cheng Pengfei is contacting old classmates there. When the arrangements there are almost done, they can take Yuan Shanzi to Beijing.
This matter slowly subsided, and then the school became busy again, because the singing competition is about to begin, and all classes in the school must participate, which is also a big project.
Behind the stage, Zhou Chen couldn't help laughing when he saw the blush and lipstick on Cheng Miaomiao's faces and lips.
"Zhou Chen, what are you laughing at? Why are you running backstage when you're not participating?"
Li Si was embarrassed by Zhou Chen's laughter and yelled at Zhou Chen in a rage.
Cheng Miaomiao and Hu Qiumin were fine, but Qiang Xiaowa was embarrassed. He lowered his head with blush and lipstick on, and didn't dare to look up at people. After Zhou Chen laughed, he lowered his head even lower.
Cheng Miaomiao also complained about Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, Li Si is right, you have no sense of collective honor. You see, we all participated, but you didn't. You are not sociable at all. Now you dare to laugh at us. It's too much."
"No, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to laugh at you. I just think your makeup is really retro and beautiful, especially Li Si. Tsk tsk, like a child whose hair hasn't grown out yet."
"Zhou Chen, you are too much."
Amid the noise, Gao Feiyang came over and asked everyone to get ready quickly. It was their turn to perform on stage soon.
"Zhou Chen, if you didn't participate, don't make trouble here. Go to the front and find a place to sit."
"Yes, Teacher Gao, get him out quickly. He will only get in the way if he stays here."
Zhou Chen didn't say anything, just smiled, then left the backstage, walked to the seat in the auditorium in front and sat down, quietly waiting for the show to start.
This kind of singing competition actually doesn't have too much technical content. It mainly depends on how the selection is and whether the emotions are invested.
This singing competition lasted for several hours, and Zhou Chen really fell asleep while sitting on the chair.
Cheng Pengfei quickly contacted his old acquaintances in Beijing, and then began to prepare to go to Beijing. Just like in the plot, he did not go alone this time. It happened that Yang Songbai was on vacation, and he took a few more days off, so this time Yang Songbai went to Beijing with him and Yuan Shanzi.
A few days passed in a blink of an eye. On this day, Cheng Miaomiao came to the back row and said to Zhou Chen and the others.
"The flower house we often go to was robbed. Yuan Shanqing moved to live in the flower house to help my mother. It was just cleaned up yesterday and it was ready to cook. She wanted to invite us to have a meal in the flower house to thank us. We will go together then."
Li Si was the first to raise his hand to say that it was okay, but Hu Qiumin refused because her brother would call tonight and she had to wait for the phone. Qiang Xiaowa was very hesitant, but under the enthusiastic invitation of Cheng Miaomiao and Li Si, he agreed to go.
"Zhou Chen, what about you?"
Zhou Chen said, "I won't go either. My uncle is on night shift tonight, so I'll stay home to have dinner with my aunt."
"Why are you like this? This is the first time Yuan Shanqing invited us to dinner, and she cooked for us herself." Cheng Miaomiao was slightly dissatisfied.
"Next time, next time."
Zhou Chen knew Yuan Shanqing's thoughts. Everyone donated money to her, and she had no way to repay everyone, so she wanted to give her all she could. She moved to the flower room to show Jia Daiyu and the others flowers, and invited them to dinner to thank everyone.
It's not that he didn't want to go on purpose, but Sun Xiuyun had already agreed this morning to cook him a big meal in the evening, so he naturally had to stay at home for dinner.
Jia Baoshan, who had disappeared for a long time, came again. This time he simply slept at Cheng's house. Zhou Chen also saw him when he came back from school.
A few days later, Cheng Pengfei, who was far away in Beijing, called and said that Xiao Zi's operation went well and he would be back in a few days.
Their trip to Beijing took about half a month. After Xiao Zi came back, she didn't look any different, except that she had been wearing a cochlear implant. However, since she had just had the surgery and had just started using the implant, and she was still young, it would take some time for her to fully adapt.
Outside the greenhouse, Li Si was showing off to Zhou Chen the flowers he and Cheng Miaomiao had planted, named 'Si Miao'.
"See? Our flowers will bloom soon."
Looking at the boastful Li Si, Zhou Chen looked disdainful: "Listen to this name, Si Miao, dead seedling, with this name, can your flower bloom?"
Li Si was anxious: "You know what the hell, does it have anything to do with the name of the flower? Besides, our pot of flowers was planted by Miaomiao and I. It is our hard work. It will definitely survive."
"What hard work? Just say it's your child. I'll give you a piece of advice. If you have a child in the future, you must not name it, otherwise I'm afraid he won't recognize you as his father." Zhou Chen said again. A lot of sarcasm.
But who would have thought that Li Si had a bright face: "Zhou Chen, you also think that Miaomiao and I can get married and have children in the future, don't you? I know it. Anyone with eyes can see that we are the same person." Yes, Miaomiao and I are approved by both parents, and we will definitely get married together in the future. "
"Hmm, yes, yes, you are right, so can you let go of my hand and grab your Miaomiao?"
"ah?"
At the end of October, the weather started to get cooler, and now I can no longer take off my coat.
Zhou Chen and Hu Qiumin walked to the road, and then they saw Cheng Miaomiao and Li Si holding milk and steamed buns. They were showing off. After seeing Zhou Chen, they immediately waved.
Cheng Miaomiao took a sip of milk and swallowed the buns, and then said: "Zhou Chen, Huzi, my brother-in-law said he would treat us to a barbecue tonight, so let's not go home after school in the afternoon. Let's go to the barbecue stall to find me. Brother-in-law.”
"Okay, I'm fine."
"That's okay with me too."
After the English class ended in the morning, Han Shu called Zhou Chen to the office again and took out a few more tapes from the drawer.
"You must have listened to the few tapes I gave you last time. I specially sent these tapes from Shanghai. Your English scores and spoken English are very good. You just need to listen more, practice more and speak more, so that you can Better control.”
Zhou Chen took the tape and thanked him: "Thank you."
Han Shu said: "If you really want to thank me, then study hard and ask me if you don't understand anything. It doesn't matter even if it's a weekend. You can call me or come to school to find me and I will explain it to you."
"I see."
"Then you go back first."
As soon as Zhou Chen left, Gao Feiyang, who was sitting opposite, asked in surprise: "You seem to like Zhou Chen very much."
Han Shu replied without changing her face: "He is very good at English. If he studies hard, he may even be able to study abroad in the future."
Gao Feiyang said: "Studying abroad? It's really possible. He is not only good at English, but also has good grades in other subjects. The problem is his learning attitude and temper. He is a student who makes the teacher like him, but also gives him a headache."
Han Shu thought for a while and said, "Geniuses may be different. Zhou Chen may be this type."
"Maybe."
After leading Class 1 of Grade 2 for two months, he also observed Zhou Chen for a long time. Now he has given up the idea of changing Zhou Chen.
He finally understood that although Zhou Chen was young, he was very opinionated, and he did not have the same fear and respect for teachers like other students. His words did not intimidate Zhou Chen in the slightest.
Zhou Chen seemed to have returned to the time when he was in high school. He sat in the last row and took out the Legend of Chu Liuxiang that he had not finished yet. The teacher was spitting on it, and he was flipping through the pages below. .
The difference between the two is that at the beginning he was not good at learning and wanted to fail, but now he is confident.
The teachers above had already given up on Zhou Chen. After all, this kind of academic master who could almost get full marks in the exam, as long as he didn't disturb other students, they didn't bother to care about him even if he was sleeping. The subject teacher reached a consensus, and even the head teacher Gao Feiyang also agreed.
"Dingle bell bell bell..."
Just one update today. I’ve been a little tired these past few days, plus it’s cloudy, and I have frozen shoulder pain, back pain, and calf soreness. It’s very uncomfortable. I’ll try to update twice tomorrow depending on the situation!
