Ch 105: Striving for Education Funds
Principal Chen said to Grandma Jin that the person who treated her illness was Principal Chen’s student, and there would be no medical expenses.
Upon hearing this, Grandma Jin smiled so happily that her toothless mouth was revealed. She gladly drank all the medicine. Bitter? Not bitter at all, it’s so sweet.
Two days later, Grandma Jin was able to get out of bed. Du Qingyang also went again to take her pulse to ensure everything was fine.
“Grandma Jin’s health has recovered very well, it’s just a minor illness, she’s fine, she just needs more rest.”
“Qingyang, thank you.” Principal Chen was as polite, humble, and refined as ever.
After learning about Principal Chen’s story, his image in Du Qingyang’s heart was elevated even more. Therefore, Du Qingyang also had to do something to raise her own image.
“Principal, what methods are there to strive for more education funds for our school?”
Principal Chen was stunned, why did Du Qingyang suddenly bring up the matter of education funds?
Mentioning education funds, Principal Chen felt a pang of heartache. He had always wanted to strive for more education funds to improve the school’s educational environment and allow the students to receive better teacher education. It was a pity that they always received the least.
Other schools have more teachers and students, so they receive more funds. San Nan Village School only has two teachers and few students, so it has no sense of existence at all.
Principal Chen lowered his eyes for a moment, then raised his head and saw Du Qingyang’s clear and bright eyes, earnestly waiting for his response. He felt a bit of comfort in his heart.
Du Qingyang also wants to study hard and have a better learning environment, that’s why she suddenly asked this, right? Principal Chen was comforted that the student liked to study.
“Don’t worry, I will continue to work hard to strive for it.” Principal Chen smiled slightly, his eyes firm.
Du Qingyang didn’t roll her eyes, nor did she say anything to discourage Principal Chen. But, Principal, we must accept reality, we must first improve the school’s sense of existence.
Are there any competitions we can participate in?
Competitions, there are, but we don’t have the ability.
Tell me about it.
“This summer, there is a mathematics competition for middle schools. But, that is a provincial-level competition, it’s too difficult.” Principal Chen said, shaking his head.
“If you get first place, what will be the reward?” Du Qingyang was concerned about the reward.
“The student will have a scholarship, and the school will also become famous throughout the province.”
That’s right, their school needs this kind of opportunity to become an overnight sensation.
“Principal, quickly sign me up. If I get first place, I’ll donate all the scholarship money to the school.” Du Qingyang blurted out.
Principal Chen was stunned again, was Du Qingyang joking? Although Du Qingyang’s grades are good, the textbooks she usually studies do not contain the knowledge of advanced mathematics. Without having studied it, how can she participate in the competition?
Of course, Principal Chen didn’t know that in her previous life, Du Qingyang had attended various tutoring classes since she was a child, and had done countless advanced mathematics exercises.
The middle school mathematics competition is not difficult for Du Qingyang.
Seeing that Principal Chen hadn’t responded for a long time, Du Qingyang became nervous, “Could it be that the registration deadline has passed?”
Half of the summer vacation has already passed, is it too late to bring up the competition now?
“No, the registration deadline is tomorrow.” Principal Chen answered very honestly.
“Then hurry, Principal, hurry up and sign me up.”
“Do you really want to sign up?”
“Of course!”
Under Du Qingyang’s insistence, Principal Chen finally agreed. However, Principal Chen had no confidence at all. Because the competition is in a week, Du Qingyang doesn’t have time to study.
What puzzled Principal Chen even more was that he offered to find some related books for Du Qingyang, but Du Qingyang refused!
Du Qingyang doesn’t plan to review at all. She is very busy, why review knowledge that she has already memorized? Wouldn’t that be a waste of time?
“Principal, leave the competition matters to me, you can go and prepare the materials for applying for education funds.”
◈◈◈
“Just say that increasing education funds will cultivate more outstanding talents like me. Then attach my first-place certificate.”
Du Qingyang spoke eloquently, as if the first place in the competition was a sure thing. As if the matter of applying for education funds was also destined to succeed.
Principal Chen still couldn’t stand Du Qingyang’s arrogance and couldn’t help but persuade: “Qingyang, be humble, humility makes people progress.”
Unexpectedly, Du Qingyang added: “Principal, my strength does not allow me to be humble.”
Principal Chen was about to reprimand her when Du Qingyang added: “People with strength don’t need to be humble. So, Principal doesn’t need to be humble either.”
Principal Chen: ……
Learning that Du Qingyang was going to participate in the competition, Zhu Xuan took two books to the Du Family Home.
“Qingyang, these two books are on advanced mathematics, I’ll lend them to you.” Zhu Xuan held the books up with both hands.
Du Qingyang glanced at them and saw a few large characters written on the cover: Elementary School Advanced Mathematics.
Du Qingyang immediately rolled her eyes, Big Brother, I’m going to take the middle school advanced mathematics exam, and you brought me two elementary school advanced mathematics books? Are you doing this on purpose?
Zhu Xuan felt that he could be of great help. These two books were sent by a distant relative of the Zhu Family many years ago. Zhu Xuan couldn’t understand them at the time, so he put them at the bottom of a box.
Now, hearing that Du Qingyang was going to participate in the competition, Zhu Xuan suddenly remembered and immediately found the two books from the bottom of the box.
Although the two books are for elementary school, they can still lay a good foundation.
Big Brother, the competition is in a week, and you’re still learning the basics? Are you here to make me laugh?
“Qingyang doesn’t need these.” Xiang Zhihang suddenly appeared, waved his hand, and pushed Zhu Xuan and his books away.
Du Qingyang smiled, she really didn’t need them.
“Xiang Zhihang, don’t delay Qingyang’s review!” Zhu Xuan stepped forward and also tried to wave his hand to push Xiang Zhihang away.
However, Zhu Xuan’s palm may not be big enough, and his strength is not enough, he can’t push Xiang Zhihang at all. Clearly, the two are similar in stature and age. Xiang Zhihang stood there quietly, but Zhu Xuan couldn’t push him.
Xiang Zhihang smiled contemptuously, little brat, you want to fight with me? Go back and eat a few more bowls of rice. Don’t you know how much work he does, he has abs on his body.
Zhu Xuan was embarrassed.
“Get lost!” Xiang Zhihang roared with a dark face.
Zhu Xuan blushed and walked away dejectedly.
As soon as Zhu Xuan left, Xiang Zhihang’s dark face immediately changed again. Dark face? What dark face, it was clearly a bright smiling face.
As soon as he turned his face, Xiang Zhihang smiled brightly at Du Qingyang, like the sun, moon, and stars, sparkling and dazzling.
“Qingyang, I made soup for you.”
“Replenish your nutrition, take good care of your body, and you will definitely get first place in the competition.”
Xiang Zhihang took out a lunch box from his bag. In his opinion, Qingyang only needs to replenish her nutrition, no need to review. Reviewing is too brain-intensive.
Can’t get first place without reviewing? It doesn’t matter, just go and have fun.
Made soup? Du Qingyang thought of her previous life, every time before an exam, her mother would make soup for her. This… Brother Zhihang is like her old mother?
