Chapter 1969 - 1969: Taking the College Entrance Exam (5)
Upon hearing Feng Qingxue's words, Xibao was stunned.
He often contacted his parents and knew that his aunt had made a lot of money during her trip abroad. She brought him and his younger siblings many original foreign books, clothes, shoes, and sports equipment, and gave his mother a lot of money. But he never imagined his mother would be willing to use it to help others.
Fifty thousand yuan, that's no small amount of money. With his mom's current salary, she would have to work for about thirty years without spending anything to save up such an amount.
Besides, who can work without spending anything?
Their family's living expenses each month were substantial.
Erxiong had mentioned during a call with his elder brother about the good deeds their dad was doing. Now, every day, they could see the income and expenditure statement posted on the door. He didn't dare to ask for fun stuff anymore because their dad was strict.
If he asked even once, their dad would double his practice.
"Mom, this money..."
Feng Qingxue interrupted her eldest son directly, "This money is important, not for us, but for those who need it. Our family's standard of living is already far above ninety-nine percent of families. Extra money is just icing on the cake. Giving it to those who need it, I think is great."
"Will aunt be upset? That was her gift to you." Xibao knew Feng Qingyun well, clear in her distinctions between gratitude and grievances, only treating those well who treat her well, not easily giving without reason. The only person she's ever fully devoted to isn't Li Jiaoyang, but his own mother.
Feng Qingxue smiled lightly, "I made the decision, your aunt has no objections. She originally said the money was mine to use as I saw fit. But since you've mentioned it, I'll tell her before using it, and we'll decide on a name for this educational support plan."
"I think 'Young Eagle's Flight' is a suitable name." After returning from a performance for the Shanghai Military Region, Feng Qingyun had a flash of inspiration upon hearing her sister mention this matter and came up with the name.
Feng Qingxue muttered it twice under her breath and couldn't help but smile, "Every child is a young eagle, whether they can soar into the sky depends on how they take off. Our plan is to help them take flight."
After praising it, she looked at her sister, "You're not opposed to me using your money?"
"Sister, why be polite with me? I gave it to you, it's yours. Not to mention using it to help Xibao do good deeds, even if you just tossed it away, I wouldn't say a word."
After saying this, Feng Qingyun couldn't help but sigh, "Our Xibao has really grown up, become responsible and kind, conducts himself with more magnanimity than many adults. It's hard to believe he was just a little dumpling as a child, so little he couldn't even speak clearly in his baby voice."
Feng Qingxue wore a face full of pride.
She felt this son was more precious than any rare treasure or power and status, likely to be the pride of her and Lu Jiang's lifetime!
"He's taking the college entrance exam this year. Once he scores high enough to attend the Capital, you'll be able to see him, already far from a little dumpling, but rather a handsome young man."
Feng Qingyun calculated the time on her fingers, "Oh, the college entrance exam is not far away! Sister, you and Xibao should make detailed plans for that educational support plan after Xibao finishes the exam and gets the acceptance letter to the Capital! The plan needs details, not just money, be careful not to raise ingrates or help those whose greed outweighs their needs."
Feng Qingxue nodded, "I'll draft the plan when I'm less busy with work now, then consult with Xibao once he arrives at the Capital, and hand it over to his father and godfather to jointly implement it, starting with a trial in our Huaibei City."
