The Red Era: The Crowd in the Siheyuan

Chapter 476 Yan Bugui Wants to Open a Tutoring Class
As for herself, Lou Xiao'e was not worried at all.

My husband is not only the captain of the Beiping militia, but also cooks for the big boss and his wife from time to time.
Let’s not talk about official positions.
No matter what time it is, the cook is the most trusted person among the trusted ones. If he is not a trusted person, he cannot take on the job. It is also very troublesome to replace him.
As long as the boss has no problem with him, no one can touch her man, and no one will make things difficult for her.

While the couple was talking, Yan Bugui and Ran Qiuye finally came back from school after get off work. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they attracted the attention of the neighbors.
He Yuzhu and his wife also came out from home to inquire about the situation.

"Qiuye, what's going on today? Why did you get off work so late? Is there nothing going on at school?"

Hearing Lou Xiao'e's question, Ran Qiuye briefly dealt with the neighbors, then walked up to Lou Xiao'e.
"It's okay, sister-in-law. The school is closed now. The leaders have invited us teachers to a meeting. It's not a big deal.
I guess I won’t be able to go to work in the short term.”

"That's fine. If I can't go to work, then I can't go to work. As long as I'm fine, it's fine."

Lou Xiao'e was relieved, but Qin Huairu, who had just come from the middle courtyard, was not in such a good mood.
You know, their son Bang Geng just graduated from elementary school this semester. If the school is closed and his final exams are delayed, what will happen if he has to study for another year in the second half of the semester?

So when they saw Ran Qiuye, the class teacher, coming out of the crowd,
After Lou Xiao'e finished speaking, Qin Huairu immediately couldn't wait to ask,

"Bang Geng'er's aunt, did the school leaders say how long the suspension of classes will last? Will it delay the child's graduation and entry into junior high school? If so, will he have to repeat a year?"

Hearing Qin Huairu's series of questions, Ran Qiuye could understand her thoughts very well.
After all, if Banggeng studied for an extra year, he would not only have to pay an extra year of tuition, but also have to postpone his time to work and earn money.

She couldn't help but be anxious about this family that was supported by Qin Huairu alone.

But no matter how anxious she was, it was useless. Ran Qiuye didn't even know what her future would be like, so how could she possibly tell Qin Huairu whether their Banggeng could graduate successfully?

"Sister-in-law, I really don't know about this.
Let me tell you this, not only do I not know whether the children can graduate successfully, even the school leaders don't know.
During the meeting today, we talked about Banggeng'er and his graduating class, but no one knew the answer.
If you don’t believe me, you can ask Uncle Yan.”

Seeing Ran Qiuye mention him, Yan Bugui, who was dealing with his neighbors in the crowd, finally found an excuse. He pushed his neighbors to squeeze out while saying,
"Everyone, please make way, make way.
There is no rush for your affairs. Banggeng will graduate this year. Let's focus on Qin Huairu's affairs first.
Everyone, please make way!"

After hearing what Yan Bugui said, the neighbors thought the same thing.
Although there are children in my family who are also studying, they are not as anxious as Banggeng of the Jia family, who is at the point of graduating from elementary school.
Moreover, considering the current situation of the Jia family, Yi Zhonghai paid for Banggeng'er's tuition.
Stopping Yan Bugui would offend several families, which is totally unnecessary.

So Yan Bugui quickly squeezed out of the crowd, and then spoke to Qin Huairu breathlessly.

"Daughter-in-law Dongxu, Xiaoran did not lie to you. During the meeting at school today, the leaders did not know when school would resume.
And I heard from the leaders above that the instruction to suspend classes was also issued suddenly,
As to why, no one knows.

As for your son's graduation and further studies, I guess it will just be delayed.
But don't worry, I thought about it all the way back. Although the school is closed now, there are so many children in our courtyard, so we can't neglect their studies.
So I plan to take the children in the yard to study during this period of suspension, what do you think? "

At the end, Yan Bugui was almost talking to all the neighbors in the courtyard.
The neighbors all knew his character, and naturally knew that it was impossible for him to study with the children for free, and he would definitely charge money. At this time, someone smiled and asked,

"Old Yan, it's okay for you to take the children to study, but I want to ask you how much you charge.
Let me make it clear first, if you want to earn a monthly salary from us, I advise you to give up this idea.

We can’t afford your monthly salary of 6 or 70 yuan.”

"Tsk, let alone 6 or 70 yuan a month, even 1 yuan a month is too much for me. The school charges 2 yuan a semester, which is already a heavy burden. You still want us to pay? No way.
Is it Mrs. Zhang? "

Hearing the neighbors suddenly calling her name, Jia Zhang was a little confused.

But she reacted quickly.
If I don't let Banggeng continue his studies, my precious grandson will definitely blame me in the future. But if I have to pay, my family simply can't afford it.
So Jia Zhang directly put the blame on Qin Huairu and cleared herself of all blame.

"It's no use for you to come to me about this. My daughter-in-law is the one who earns money to support the family. If you want to ask, you should ask Qin Huairu. If she says to pay, then pay. If she says not to pay, then don't pay. I support both."

Hearing Jia Zhang's words of shirking responsibility, Qin Huairu suddenly felt a toothache.

I thought to myself that my mother-in-law was really a shrewd person.

But since it concerns her son's future, Qin Huairu gritted her teeth and agreed.
"Study, our Bang Geng must study, otherwise if he wastes a year or two, he won't be able to study in the future, and he won't have a future.
But everyone knows our family situation, we really can't afford it.

How about giving 5 cents a month? That way it will be the same as the tuition fee each semester, and our family can afford it if we grit our teeth.”

When Yan Bugui first heard that his neighbors were going to pay 1 yuan a month, he was a little unhappy. Now that Qin Huairu has lowered the price to 5 cents, he is even more unhappy.
"Qin Huairu, you are sending away beggars.
10 cents a month. There are only 5 households in our courtyard, and each month we earn only 6 or yuan, which is just enough to make ends meet.
What are you thinking? This is not the way to send away a beggar.

That’s it. I haven’t even counted Lao Yi and Lao Liu. Lao Yi has no children, and Lao Liu’s three sons are all working. No one in the family goes to school, so their families don’t have to pay for it.”

Yan Bugui just said this,

At this time, He Ying, who came with He Daqing, hurriedly raised his hand.

"Grandpa Yan, I don't want to go to school. My dad promised me that he would let me go to Tiananmen Square with him for training tomorrow. I don't want to study with you."
