After living a new life for my neighbor's grandmother, I traveled through the book again

When Tong Jia learned about the fire in the hotel in Rehe City, he had already rented a house near Beiyang University.

After learning the news from the newspaper, Tong Jia felt sorry for the mother and son who were innocently implicated, but she couldn't help but feel fortunate for herself and Tao Junle.

However, she didn't have much time to be sad about the passing of time.

Although it is the Republic of China period now, there is no national unified college entrance examination, and all enrollment is independent.

However, all schools have registration qualification reviews, so not everyone can register if they want.

Take Beiyang University for example. In addition to paying a registration fee of three silver dollars, one must also have a high school diploma before being able to take the school's entrance examination.

The silver dollar was easy to deal with, and Tong Jia was not afraid of the exam, but the graduation certificate really made Tong Jia scratch his head.

Not to mention that Tong Jia's identity is fake, even if he used Rong Xintong's name, there is no way to get a graduation certificate through legitimate channels.

Moreover, Beiyang University has a regulation that it must be a graduation certificate; certificates of incomplete studies and completion are not acceptable.

Just when Tong Jia was at a loss, Tao Junle brought her a turning point.

Since renting a house in Tianjin, Tong Jia has basically spent all his time studying in the rental house, except for going out to inquire about the requirements for going to university.

All the tasks of fetching water, buying groceries and cooking were left to Tao Junle.

At first, she was a little embarrassed, feeling that she was a bit oppressing child laborers, but Tao Junle said more than once that he could do it alone and that he was not a child anymore.

Considering his actual age and physical condition, Tong Jia decided to let him do things within his ability.

This is the true way to respect Tao Junle and will not make him feel like a burden.

In this way, the two of them lived in Tianjin for nearly a month. It was almost time to register for the Beiyang University examination. Tong Jia felt that she had prepared almost everything she needed, so she began to think about finding connections to apply for her high school diploma.

But she couldn't just use the money to bribe the middle school principal. She had to have someone to introduce her before the principal would dare to accept the money.

After she inquired about the situations of several teachers' homes at Beiyang Middle School, she planned to choose two to focus on, but was taken directly to the home of Principal Guan of Beiyang Middle School by Tao Junle.

Seeing Tao Junle entering and leaving Principal Guan's house with familiarity, Tong Jia was really curious about how this child who couldn't speak and looked only seven or eight years old had established a good relationship with Principal Guan of Beiyang Middle School.

You should know that Principal Guan is not only the principal of Beiyang Middle School, he is also a teacher at Beiyang University.

If she could get through to Principal Guan, she could be admitted without taking an entrance exam, let alone a high school diploma.

Of course, when she first arrived at Principal Guan’s house, she was just thinking about it and didn’t really think she could do it.

But when she came out of Principal Guan's house, it was more than just a thought.

Not only did she receive a Beiyang Middle School graduation certificate signed by Principal Guan, she also received a letter of recommendation written by Principal Guan.

There were some questions she couldn't ask at Principal Guan's house, but after returning to the rental house, there was nothing she couldn't ask.

As soon as Tong Jia returned to the rental house, she put her diploma and recommendation letters into the RV. Then she walked to the desk, pulled out a drawer, and took out a pen and paper. As she uncapped the pen, she asked, "How did you get to know Principal Guan? I saw him just now...and not just him, but everyone in his family has been so nice to you. Why is that?"

Tao Junle picked up the pen with a touch of shyness and pride, and wrote: [We also met by chance. My sister is so lucky.]

"What do you mean?" Tong Jia asked.

Tao Junle continued writing: [I knew my sister wanted to ask the teachers at Beiyang Middle School for help, so I took advantage of the time to buy water in the morning to find Mr. Hu, the water seller, and gave him two cents to let me deliver water to Principal Guan’s house.

Uncle Hu agreed because he could get paid without having to work.

I don’t know if we were lucky or if the principal’s grandson was not paying attention, but the next day after I delivered water to their house, he fell into his own water tank.

Their water tank was too deep. He was less than five years old and couldn't climb out by himself, so I pulled him out.

After pulling it out, he took the initiative to change the water in his family's water tank.

Principal Guan’s wife had a particularly good impression of me and kept saying she wanted to thank me.

But I thought we couldn’t tell them so soon that we wanted a diploma, so I didn’t ask for anything.

But from then on, every time I went to the principal's house to deliver water, his wife would prepare a pancake with eggs for me.

Every time I put the pancakes in my arms in front of them.

When Madam Guan asked me, I gestured for a while, and then, getting really anxious, I wrote the word "sister" on the ground with water.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, I look only seven or eight years old, and I can't write too many words.

At first, Mrs. Guan didn't ask much, but after I sent water to his house several times to offset the pancakes, she became very curious about me.

Asked a lot about family matters.

I didn't express it very clearly, but I wrote down a few key points for her in two or three words.

Then, she understood that we were siblings, and after our parents passed away, the family property was taken away by our relatives, and my voice was damaged because we had no money to treat the disease.

She felt that my sister and I were particularly pitiful and always wanted to help us.

I just wrote two words: "go to school". I couldn't speak, and there was no point in going to school, so you had to go to school.

The reason why Principal Guan asked us to come over today is actually to test your foundation.

Sister, you performed very well and answered the questions very well, but sometimes you were a little confused.

She looks like a young lady who has never known the real world, but at the same time, she shows a desire to go to school.

After finishing writing, he put down the pen, shook his hands, and gave Tong Jia a thumbs up.

Tong Jia patted his head and said, "Not bad! At such a young age, you know how to play the long game and catch a big fish!"

Tao Junle smiled, then remembered something, picked up the pen again and wrote: [Sister, I have inquired about it. The registration fee for the exam is three silver dollars. Even if you have a letter of recommendation from the principal, you still have to pay this money.

After passing the exam, the annual tuition fee is about sixty silver dollars.

When the time comes...should we pay the money all at once or wait a little longer?

You can't just pretend to be pitiful and get what you want, then reveal your flaws, right?]

Tong Jia thought for a moment, stood up and checked the door bolt again. After confirming that the door was closed from the inside, she walked up to Tao Junle again.

She said, "Lele, close your eyes. I'll take you somewhere."

Tao Junle closed his eyes, and Tong Jia took his hand and entered the RV.

After coming in, Tong Jia felt a little embarrassed when she saw the floor full of things.

As she moved the things on the floor toward the sink and the operating table, she said, "Don't open your eyes yet. Wait until I clean them up. When I tell you to, open them."

When she felt she had almost finished cleaning up, she said to Tao Junle, "Okay, you can open your eyes now."

Tao Junle did as he was told, and the moment he opened his eyes, his pupils were shocked.

The space on the first floor of the RV is about the same size as the rental house he and Tong Jia are currently renting, but the facilities inside are much more advanced and luxurious than those in the rental house.

What shocked him even more was that through their contact during this period, he clearly felt that Tong Jia was a very organized, upright and tidy person, but he didn't expect that the person in this mysterious space was so... careless.

After looking around the RV, he turned to Tong Jia.

Tong Jia said, "I've put your parents' things upstairs, come with me now.

Pick out all the things your parents left you, and as for the other things I took from your house, consider them my reward.

This is what we agreed on before, you can't go back on your word.

Since you are really useful to me by my side, I won't charge you any extra storage fees.

How is it? Is my sister nice enough? "

Tao Junle nodded and looked at Tong Jia motionlessly.

Tong Jia said, "Why don't you go up and pick one?"

Tao Junle stretched out his arms and gestured, then shook his hands, which meant: I can't fly, and I don't know where to get to the second floor.

Tong Jia reacted quickly and took Tao Junle to the second floor by overcoming all obstacles.

After reaching the second floor, Tao Junle saw the familiar items in his father's study and his eyes suddenly became red.

Tong Jia thought it would take him a long time to choose, so she walked to the bed and sat down, picked up a novel from the bedside table and started reading.

Unexpectedly, she had only read less than a page when Tao Junle came over and pulled her sleeve.

Seeing that Tao Junle only took three books and two boxes, Tong Jia asked in surprise: "Is this all your parents' belongings?"

Tao Junle shook his head and looked around for paper and pen to explain. Tong Jia directly used his mind to take paper and pen from the first floor and handed it to him.

This move once again refreshed Tao Junle's three views, and he forgot what he wanted to write before.

Write directly on the paper: [Sister, are you a fairy from heaven? ]

Tong Jia originally wanted to say "yes" directly, but then she changed her mind and realized that one lie needed to be covered up with another lie.

Since Tao Junle is the only little rascal left by his side, it is better for the two of them to be as honest as possible with each other.

So, she said, "Since you know my secret, I won't hide it from you. Actually, I am not from this era. I had an accident in my time, and I need to come here to help the original Rong Xintong fulfill her wish before I can return to my original time.

So, I am neither a fairy nor a monster.

Apart from this RV that provides me with assistance and the awl that has the function of Ma Liang's magic brush, I am just an ordinary person."

Afterwards, she explained to Tao Junle the usage rules and precautions of all the electrical appliances in the RV. After learning that the bathroom in the RV could automatically clean up the garbage, Tao Junle sighed, put down the things in his hands, and began to clean up the RV resignedly.

After Tao Junle finished cleaning up, Tong Jia pointed to the bedside table on the left side of the second-floor bed and said, "I've cleared out the things in this cabinet. You can put your things in there from now on.

But are you sure you only want these three books and two boxes?

I also took a lot of gold, cloth, and food from your house. Some of it is on the roof of the car, and some is under the awning. Are you sure you don't want more?"

Tao Junle picked up the paper and pen that Tong Jia had brought with her mind and wrote: "Sister, these three books were written by my father and are particularly memorable to me. The other two boxes, one contains our family portrait and our heirloom jade bracelet, and the other contains my mother's favorite set of jewelry."

It's enough for me to have these things to remember them both.

As for the other things, just consider them as my food and accommodation expenses.

After all, it costs money for my sister to support me. 】

After seeing what Tao Junle wrote, Tong Jia blushed.

She didn't take good care of him during this period. In order to avoid showing off her wealth and being targeted, she always chose a bungalow when renting a house.

The house they are currently renting is about the size of an RV. After putting two beds and a table in it, it is difficult for people to turn around in the house.

He said he wanted to take care of others, but since he came to Tianjin, it seemed that Tao Junle was the one taking care of himself.

Tong Jia touched Tao Junle's head again and said, "Since you are so sensible, I will take good care of you in the future.

I'll ask you again, are you sure you only want those few things? Don't let me take something from you and pawn it, and then you'll regret it again."

Tao Junle shook his head, picked up the things he had chosen, stuffed them all into the bedside table, then spread out his palms and gestured at the other items.

That means: these things are yours to choose from.

Tong Jia hesitated for a long time between the books on the bookshelf and the gold brought back from the Tao family, and finally chose the books on the bookshelf.

This was the choice she made after much deliberation.

The main reason was that Mrs. Guan had already formed a preconceived notion that the siblings had no money. If she took out sixty silver dollars at once to pay the tuition, it would inevitably make Principal Guan and his wife feel cheated.

Therefore, gold must not be taken out directly.

For a man of letters like Principal Guan, books are the most precious things.

Tao Junle's father happened to be a book collector, and there were many rare ancient books on his bookshelf.

Because of his love for them, he has copied and proofread these rare copies, turning them into fine copies.

It may be that Tao Junle's father had different insights every time he copied the books, and for some books, he even copied several versions.

Tong Jia selected two books that she thought were more valuable and that Tao's father had copied more than one copy of and took them out.

The next day, I took the two books to Principal Guan's house.

Sure enough, just as she expected, Principal Guan's eyes widened when he saw the two books.

He took the two books and went to see the president of Beiyang University with Tong Jia.

Of course, Tong Jia also brought her Beiyang Middle School graduation certificate and Principal Guan's letter of recommendation.

After President Qian of Beiyang University carefully looked through the two books, his eyes sparkled with excitement.

He immediately said, "As long as Tong Jia can successfully pass our school's entrance exam, I will hold a meeting to discuss reducing your tuition. But the prerequisite is that these two books must be donated to our school library for our research use."

Tong Jia naturally had no objection.

A week later, Tong Jia passed the entrance examination of Beiyang University and received the approval from Beiyang University to waive her tuition for two years and provide her with a free dormitory and a job.

At this point, Tong Jia was successfully admitted to Beiyang University.
