Chapter 202: Sponsor Xu Xiaotao
In this school, Xu Zimian first remembered Xu Xiaotao.
This shy lady has a great voice.
Her intelligence can also be seen from the speed at which she learns songs.
After finishing the story, Xu Zimian walked towards Principal Li of Hope Primary School and asked curiously, "Teacher, I just saw Xu Xiaotao leave the school."
There are not many students in Hope Primary School, and Principal Li remembers almost every classmate, not to mention children with special circumstances.
Said: "Xu Xiaotao? He is a filial child."
Following Principal Li's remarks, Xu Zimian gradually understood Xu Xiaotao's situation.
When Xu Xiaotao was in the first grade, she was the first in her grade, and she was highly expected by the teachers.
But since the second grade, because her grandmother's health was deteriorating, she had to take leave frequently and go back to take care of her grandmother.
The grades were good at the beginning, at least they were still in the middle.
She took more and more time off, and her grades gradually fell to the middle and lower levels.
"By the next semester of the third grade, her grades are already in the bottom."
Xu Zimian asked, "Are Xu Xiaotao's parents working outside?"
When she was in Sujia Village, many families were the elderly who stayed to take care of the children, and the adults went out to work.
Principal Li sighed deeply, "Xu Xiaotao's mother went to work in the city and ran away with other men. Her father supported her alone for two years. When he was working once, he accidentally fell from a high-rise and died."
"When the bad news came back, Grandma Xu Xiaotao fell down immediately, and the burden of the whole family rested on Xu Xiaotao."
"Hey... I was very optimistic about Xu Xiaotao. I thought that when she finished elementary school, I would definitely raise money to send her to the county to go to junior high school."
The first grade teacher came over and said, "Our principal's salary all these years has been used to help children with good grades go to school in the county."
The director of the Education Bureau patted Principal Li on the shoulder, "It's hard work."
Principal Li smiled and shook his head, "It's not hard work, I also hope that these outstanding children can get out of the mountains. But my ability is limited, and helping one or two children every year is the limit."
Knowing Xu Xiaotao's situation, Xu Zimian wanted to help Xu Xiaotao more and more.
Their surnames are Xu, and they may have been a family a thousand years ago.
It was their fate to meet at Hope Primary School, to sit in the same chair and to sing the same song!
"Teacher, isn't the purpose of your public welfare films to appeal to more people to help children?"
The director of the Education Bureau said clearly: "Do you want to sponsor Xu Xiaotao?"
With Xu Zimian's family background, it is not a problem at all to subsidize several children to complete their studies.
"Yeah." Xu Zimian nodded.
She silently counted the money she made every year, "Not only Xu Xiaotao, I want to sponsor five students to study in Haishi every year and give them the best education."
Pei Yan said: "I also want to sponsor five children every year."
Hearing that Pei Yan and Xu Zimian were willing to sponsor the school's children, Principal Li excitedly shook their hands.
Add up to fund ten people every year, and he can send out all the best children!
"Thank you so much!!"
Xu Xiaotao got the good news the next day.
When she first stepped into the classroom and was notified by the teacher to go to the principal's office, she was terrified.
Thinking that you may have made a mistake and will be punished by the principal?
Principal Li looked at Xu Xiaotao, who was shivering like a deer, with pity in his heart, and greeted the other party to come and sit, "Xu Xiaotao, has your grandma's health improved recently?"
Was it really because of her frequent absences?
Xu Xiaotao blinked bitterly.
She likes reading very much, and she doesn't want to leave school.
"Teacher...I want to continue studying."
Principal Li poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Xu Xiaotao, and said dumbfoundedly, "I didn't say that you were not allowed to study."
"Do you still remember the little girl who came to school yesterday, the little girl carved in pink and jade?"
Of course Xu Xiaotao remembers!
Such a dazzling little girl, the brief few hours of getting along have left a deep impression on her heart.
Nodding, "Remember."
Principal Li smiled and said, "Miss Xu wants to sponsor you to study in Haishi, I wonder if you are willing?"
"what?!"
Xu Xiaotao raised her head suddenly, her eyes full of wonder.
Thinking of the seriously ill grandma at home, her shoulders collapsed and she refused: "I'm sorry, teacher, I can't leave grandma, she needs my care."
She didn't know how she said that.
All she knew was that her whole heart was in pain, and it was so painful that she could hardly breathe.
My heart became empty, and it was not a taste at all.
The mouth is bitter, the heart is sour, but the little girl's heart is sweet.
She wrote her dream on the balloon, stood there, and watched the balloon fly farther and farther.
Now, someone wraps a thin wire around the end of the balloon and passes it into her hand, trying to help her hold the balloon.
However, due to various practical factors, she forcibly threw away the thin line that grasped her dream.
Principal Li reassured: "I have told Miss Xu the truth about your situation."
"She wanted to visit your house yesterday, but because of the tight schedule, she really didn't have time to do it."
"She asked me to tell you, don't worry about your grandma's situation. Since she has subsidized you, she will naturally help solve your situation."
"In addition to subsidizing your studies, she is also willing to pay to cure your grandma's illness."
Xu Xiaotao's eyes widened in surprise, "She she... She is really willing to help my grandma heal?!"
Knowing that Xu Zimian was willing to pay to help her grandmother treat her illness, Xu Xiaotao's gloomy life instantly brightened.
She and her just met by chance, Xu Xiaotao couldn't believe it.
The bitterness in the mouth and the sourness in the heart slowly turned into the sweetness of the joy.
"Of course!" Principal Li revealed, "Ms. Xu is a well-known child star. She is willing to sponsor five children from our school to study in Haishi every year. You are her name, and you must sponsor it."
If she can cure her grandmother's illness and continue her studies, Xu Xiaotao is willing to do so 10,000 times!
She gave the principal a deep bow, "Thank you teacher! I will take this opportunity well!!"
Principal Li patted Xu Xiaotao on the shoulder with relief, "Miss Xu left me an address. She doesn't know what illness the old man has, but no matter what illness, it can't be delayed."
"You don't have to go to school this week, make arrangements for your family affairs."
"I'll take you to the sea market on the weekend, and we'll put your grandma into the hospital as soon as possible."
Excited tears filled Xu Xiaotao's eyes, and she hurried home to tell her grandma the good news.
