Chapter 740 Mu Ningzhen is back
Mu Ningzhen came back after staying in Yinchuan for four days. Tian Shao received a telegram asking Sankui to pick her up at the station in the middle of the night, and then let her stay at home for the night. Two minutes before class the next day, Mu Ningzhen stepped into the classroom.
Tian Shao saw that she looked tired, and said: "Can you listen to the class like this now? Don't wait until you fall asleep."
Rather than dozing off in class, it’s better to go back to the dormitory and sleep, anyway, I’ve already asked for leave.
Mu Ningzhen said that she is in good spirits and will not doze off. She took eight days of leave, and she missed a lot of homework and felt a little flustered. How dare she make up for sleep now that she is back at school.
After class, the teacher put down the textbook and went out.
Bao Yiqiu was more anxious than Tian Shao. As soon as the teacher left, she couldn't wait to ask: "Ningzhen, how is Qingqing?"
A sullen look flashed across Mu Ningzhen's face, and she said, "Qingqing was picking up firewood on the mountain at the time, but was pushed down the mountain by a bad boy in the village and broke her legs. The Ji family separated at the beginning of the year, and that woman didn't want to send Qingqing to the hospital for fear of spending money. But she was also afraid that if something happened to Qingqing, I would settle accounts with her in the future, so she sent me a telegram."
Bao Yiqiu asked: "What about now?"
Mu Ningzhen said with lingering fear: "Before I left Sijiu City, I sent them a telegram to ask them to send Qingqing to the provincial hospital for treatment immediately. It is cured and will not leave sequelae.”
But seeing her daughter lying on the bed with her legs suspended and unable to move, she felt guilty and resentful. I felt guilty that this mother didn't do my job well, and I resented that man who promised to take good care of the child but failed to do so. It was also fortunate that she woke up in time and went back to find Qingqing, otherwise the child would not know what torment she would suffer.
Bao Yiqiu let out a long breath and said, "As long as it can be cured, she is still so young and will grow in the future!"
Tian Shao asked: "You are back now, who will take care of the child, is it from the Ji family?"
Mu Ningzhen shook her head and said: "No, my parents are taking care of them. I want to stay too, but I have missed too much homework, and I worry that I won't be able to make up if I don't come back. The doctor at Qingqing said that I will stay in the hospital for at least half a month. I have no choice but to ask my parents to come and help take care of it."
"I remember your dad hasn't retired yet?"
Mu Ningzhen said: "My dad took half a month's leave."
In order not to let the younger son go to the countryside, Mu's mother gave up the job to the younger son. When Mu Ningzhen graduated from high school the next year and was about to go to the countryside, the family really had no choice. In this matter, Mu Ningzhen's parents felt very guilty towards her.
Tian Shao thinks that when a woman encounters a problem, her mother's family will help her and make it easier for her to get through it.
Mu Ningzhen said: "I have discussed it with my parents. After Qingqing is discharged from the hospital, she will return to my hometown with them, and then she will study in my hometown for a year. After I graduate and assign a job, I will transfer my child's household registration to study here."
Having been injured for a hundred days, even if he was discharged from the hospital, he needed someone to take care of him. She is busy with her studies and has to find a way to make money to treat her child's legs. She has no choice but to let the child go back with her parents.
Bao Yiqiu said: "Don't let Qingqing go back there in the future, otherwise who knows what kind of injury the child will suffer."
There are two adults in the family, why let a seven-year-old child go up the mountain to collect firewood, one can imagine what kind of life the child has lived there. This is still Ningzhen sending money back every month, otherwise it would be even more pitiful.
Mu Ningzhen didn't think about this question before, but now Bao Yiqiu mentioned it to her and said: "If she wants to go back, she has to wait until she grows up and has the ability to protect herself."
The three of them returned to the dormitory at noon, when Tian Shao asked in a low voice: "Is the money enough? If not, take it from me first."
Mu Ningzhen shook her head and said: "It cost more than a hundred yuan, I left two hundred for my parents, and I still have more than three hundred yuan on hand. But this child is too thin and I want to buy her something delicious, little Shao, can you find me a job?"
Tian Shao did not agree this time, and said: "When you make up the missed classes, it will be May, and the final exam will be in June. How can you have time to work part-time to make money?"
Mu Ningzhen was discouraged when she heard this.
Bao Yiqiu said with a smile: "It's okay, we can be a tour guide after the holiday. With the experience of last year, we will definitely be more handy this year."
Now the tourism industry is not as regulated as later generations, anyway, as long as you can speak English to win the trust of tourists. Tian Shao said: "Don't wait there passively, you can take the initiative to attract guests when the time comes."
"Actively soliciting customers?"
Tian Shao nodded and said: "That's right, take the initiative to attract customers, and then set a charging standard. How much you charge for one day, you can give discounts for two days, and the longer the time, the more discounts you can give."
Bao Yiqiu shook his head, asking her to solicit customers couldn't help her face.
Mu Ningzhen felt that she could give it a try, and if she succeeded, she would earn more money. But it's still early, and the most urgent thing is to make up for the leftover homework.
On Sunday morning, Pei Yue came to pick up Tian Shao, and told him about Chen Houzi's brother-in-law on the way.
Tian Shao praised: "Thanks to your vigilance, your friend arrived in time, otherwise we will suffer a great loss."
Even if only one-tenth of the goods that are half a carload are genuine, they are worth a lot. She thought that the worst result would be that they would do it alone, but she didn't expect to want to swallow their things. It's not that Tian Shao is naive, but she thinks that Pei Yue's comrades-in-arms would not do such a shameless thing. Well, Pei Yue's comrades-in-arms are fine, but relatives are greedy.
Pei Yue said: "Don't worry, I have already made an agreement with Luo Xiaoping, and he will help me collect things in the future."
Tian Shao was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "I thought you let me take over the business from this stall!"
Pei Yue shook his head and said: "A person with bad conduct like Brother Chen's brother-in-law, as long as someone gives enough money, he won't care who the things fall into. So we not only have to continue to collect, but also have to step up our efforts to keep collecting money. Until we run out of money."
Tian Shao secretly thought that it would be difficult to wait until she ran out of money before not accepting her.
The two went to the school next door to pick up Professor Song and Song Mingyang, because they had made an appointment before, and both Professor Song and Song Mingyang were waiting for them at home.
As soon as he saw someone, Song Mingyang asked, "Tian Shao, have you found someone to take care of my grandpa?"
Pei Yue took over the conversation as soon as he heard it, and said: "I have already found it, but she has something to go back to her family, and it will take a few days to get back to work. Don't worry, I will definitely arrive before you leave?"
Tian Shao asked: "Pei Yue, how old is the person you are looking for? Too young can't do, he can't take care of others."
Pei Yue said: "Don't worry, this Aunt Zhang is forty-nine years old this year. She is very careful. She also learned nursing when she was young. Besides, she is also very good at cooking. The old man who took care of her before was full of praise. "
Song Mingyang was very grateful when he heard it: "Comrade Pei, thank you."
