Chapter 171 Ulterior Motives
Director Jiang from the county education bureau spoke up, "Luo Qiao, in fact, our county high school also has decent teaching quality, and we can even waive your tuition and miscellaneous fees. You might want to consider it."
Teacher Cao laughed and said, "Student Luo Qiao, the city’s Number One High School will also waive your tuition and miscellaneous fees, and every term the top three students in our school receive scholarships."
Luo Qiao turned to Director Jiang and bowed, saying, "Director Jiang, thank you for your kindness. Qingshan Village is closer to the city than to the county, and having relatives in the city means I have someone to turn to if needed. I am truly sorry.
The buses from the commune to the county are merely passing through, and I’ll be attending high school for three years. There will certainly be plenty of bus rides, yet those buses returning to the county tend to run at inconvenient times.
If I were to attend high school in the county, I’d either have to leave early or return late, which doesn’t suit me well. It’s not as much of an issue in the summer, when leaving early means it’s already light outside, and coming back late doesn’t mean it’s too late.
But in the winter, it becomes quite inconvenient. So, I’m very sorry, but please understand."
Director Jiang smiled and said, "What Student Luo Qiao says is the actual situation. I wish you a smooth study at the city’s Number One High School and hope you achieve even better results."
Luo Qiao smiled and replied, "Thank you, Director Jiang."
After seeing off the group, the work assignments in the village were nearly finished. Luo Qiao’s task for the day was to weed the soybean fields, and Auntie Gao and Qiao Lianlian had already picked up a hoe for her.
As Luo Qiao arrived, the villagers who hadn’t left yet asked, "Luo Qiao, what were those people here for?"
Luo Qiao replied with a smile, "They came to deliver the admission notice."
