As expected, the woman quickly pushed the door in with a plate of oily fried cakes in her hand.
After setting the plates on the tea table, she turned back, went out and broke a pot.
Little Bernie took out three bowls and spoons from the cupboard and set them on the tea table.
A dish of oily cake, a bowl of soup, this is their dinner.
This kind of fried food had never been seen before when Tang wanwan was in the slum, but he never ate it.
At the woman's warm invitation, she took a small piece and brought it to her mouth.
It's not delicious.
It's just dough lumps, add salt, and then put it into the oil pan, frying pan side general.
It should be more like domestic fried cakes, but the taste is not as good as fried cakes.
Tang wanwan's food is hard to swallow, but the mother and son on the other side are very sweet.
It seems to see that Tang wanwan is picky about food, and the woman smiles a little embarrassed.
"No appetite? If I don't like it, I'll go out and buy some fried chicken! "
Say, want to get up.
Tang wanwan quickly stopped, "no, it's because of what happened just now. I'm still a little flustered, so I don't have much appetite. This is very good. Just eat this. Sit down and don't be busy. "
From the home furnishings, Tang wanwan can also see that the family is not well off.
She couldn't help remembering that little Bernie was so young that she could do mop work, so she began to talk about it.
"I just heard little Bernie say that he can make a mop. It's amazing!"
Unexpectedly, hearing Tang wanwan say so, the woman sighed, "yes, the children of poor families are in charge of the family early Little Bernie is so obedient, and I am most gratified
All of a sudden, Tang wanwan was stunned by the sadness. Soon, he realized what was wrong.
"Little Bernie makes mops to supplement the family?"
The woman nodded and rubbed the child's head with one hand, with guilt in her eyes.
"Bernie's father passed away five years ago, leaving us only orphans and widows. I have no education and can't find a good job. I have to do odd jobs everywhere to make a living. The money I earn can only barely survive. I can't send little Bernie to school at all But I know that children miss books, so they find a job. When they can't go out to work at night, they help the mop factory to make mops at home. The child is sensible and knows that he loves me, so when I'm not at home during the day, he does mops at home alone, so that I can come back at night and have a rest. "
Tang wanwan's heart was filled with emotion and sorrow.
For her son, the mother worked hard to earn money and collect tuition fees for him. For her son, in order to let her have a rest, she secretly helped her finish her work. This kind of feeling that you do for me and I do for you is really moving.
"Our town is too small. There is no school. The rich families in the town send their children to the capital of our country to study. The capital of our country is large and the cost is high. The tuition is even higher. Even if we make money together, we can't make enough money for little Bernie's tuition, so..."
At this point, the woman choked.
Her words also made Tang wanwan frown.
There is a big gap between the rich and the poor in country B. most of the wealth is in the hands of a few rich people. Apart from the extremely poor people in the slums, the ordinary people around them are not well-off.
I heard Mingkun say earlier that there are many children who can't afford to go to school, even in ordinary families in villages and towns. However, Tang wanwan didn't care about it at that time. Today, hearing the woman say so, it caused Tang wanwan's deep thinking.
Without knowledge and waiting for little Bernie's future, he would have the same fate as a woman. He could only earn some hard money by physical strength. He could barely make a living on his salary, and he had no money to study for future generations. This became a vicious circle.
However, we should carry out the activities of supporting education.
This is not a slum. The land of country B is vast. There are many families like little Bernie's family. If children can learn knowledge through supporting education, how many supporting teachers must be developed! At least, it is unrealistic to achieve it in a short time.
So, what else can we do to help them improve their current predicament?
Tang wanwan was thinking, and the woman spoke at this time.
"Girl, I think you got on the bus from the slum station, and you said you were a student of Bruce College..."
She hesitated, looking up at Tang wanwan, a little embarrassed.
"Do you know the supporting teaching team of Bruce college?"
And she took a look at little Bernie.
"Children want to go to school, but I can't afford the tuition, so I'd like to ask you for help. Do slum schools still recruit people? How much is the tuition fee? "
Hearing the woman say so, Tang wanwan was obviously stunned.
What kind of place is it in the slum? It's messy, terrible, and prone to diseases. Ordinary people can't hide in time. She wants to send her children to the slum to study.Seeing Tang wanwan's stunned look, the woman hastened to speak.
"Girl, don't get me wrong. I didn't save you for this. If you are in a dilemma, just think I didn't say it, just think I didn't say it."
She misunderstood that don was late.
"No, I don't mean that," Tang wanwan explained hastily. "I'm a teacher of the supporting education team. I just feel strange. You should know more about the situation in the slums than I do. Do you really trust little Bernie to go to the school in the slums?"
When Tang wanwan said that, the woman let go, but then she sighed heavily.
"Yes, I don't know. But if you all dare to enter, I think my son should dare to enter, too. Children want to learn, I don't want to let him down regret, what's more, if he doesn't study, he can see the end at a glance in the future. He can only work hard like me and his dead father, but only in exchange for a meager salary I don't mean it's bad. I just want to give Bernie a choice. If he wants to eat by strength, he depends on strength. If he wants to change his fate by knowledge, he also has knowledge and won't leave any regrets. "
Although the woman's clothes were plain and mediocre, what she said was very clear, which also moved Tang wanwan.
"Big sister, I want to go to school and miss books."
At this time, little Bernie spoke to don wanwan.
The child's serious appearance made Tang wanwan's mind move. He made a decision almost instantly, but he still asked him with a smile, "why do you miss books?"
"My mother said that only by studying hard can we have a different way out in the future and live a good life. I want my mother to live a good life!"
