Fat woman: "Teacher Xu, what are you talking about?"

Xu Hong took the photo of the group and pointed to the female classmate of the photo and said, "Did you see her?"

Skinny woman: "That girl with braids?"

Xu Hong: "Yes, it's her."

Fat woman: "What's wrong with her?"

Xu Hong: "She has graduated from her master's degree and is now studying for a PhD."

Fat woman: "What is the doctor?"

Xu Hong: "Is that doctoral degree that we scholars want to pursue."

Fat woman: "Ah! It seems that this woman is really amazing!"

Xu Hong: "Yes! And she, her, her, these female classmates, have all gone abroad to study."

The thin woman: "Ah! There are still people who go abroad to study?"

Xu Hong: "Well, how about it? We women are not bad at all!"

After hearing this, several women nodded.

Seeing that they were moved by him, Xu Hong said at the right time: "How is it? You can send your children to school quickly! Ah!"

A short woman said, "Actually, we also want to send our daughter to school, but... but the financial conditions at home do not allow it."

The fat woman: "Yes! Our family has sent her son to study, so her daughter has to stay at home."

Xu Hong understood what they meant and immediately said to them: "This is the case! As long as you send your daughters to school, we can not charge them tuition fees."

The thin woman looked at her and felt a little disbelief: "Teacher Xu, is this really the case?"

Xu Hong nodded heavily at them: "Well, please believe me, we will definitely do it."

After hearing this, several women smiled and said, "That's fine!"

Xu Hong looked at them and happily said, "Okay! OK! That way you guys have done it right."

The fat woman said to the child: "Call me Teacher Xu."

The children shouted happily: "Teacher Xu."

Xu Hong looked at the children one by one and nodded: "Well, they are all good! They are all good! In the future, you may be able to get a doctorate among you children."

When the fat woman heard this, she smiled and said, "Okay! We parents will benefit from it."

Everyone laughed.
