Chapter 330 Mailing, Fat Year
328
It's almost the end of the year, and He Jingyu and Wang Shuping are going to Huai City to make a work report and collect their wages and holiday benefits.
When leaving, I took away the pickled rabbit meat at home and sent six rabbits to Huo Yingjie, six rabbits to Huo Zhekun and Jiang Lifang, as well as some dry goods picked up in the mountains.
He Tiantian originally wanted to visit Huai City, but seeing that Grandma Qi San was alone at home, she gave up and stayed at home to accompany Grandma Qi San.
Ever since Qi Da Niu became a witness for Ye Xiaofan, Aunt Liu told her daughter to be careful in the future and not go out alone for fear of revenge from Qi Shuqiang's son and daughter.
So, when nothing happened, Qi Daniu came over to play with He Tiantian.
He Tiantian is a little lonely.
Qi Xiaoyan went to the art troupe, Sister Wu got married, and Ye Xiaofan had a partner. If he had some time, he wouldn't come to play with He Tiantian alone.
"Da Niu, what grade did you go to school in?" He Tiantian asked, looking at Qi Da Niu with a blushing face.
Qi Da Niu smiled and said: "In the fifth grade, I graduated from elementary school. My mother gave birth to a younger brother. I have no grandparents. There is no one to take care of my younger brother at home, so I left school."
"Then do you want to go to school?" He Tiantian asked, "Do you blame your parents for letting you come down here?"
Qi Da Niu smiled shyly: "I don't blame my parents. If my parents don't work, our family won't have enough food to eat. Without food, people will starve to death. I can't be so selfish. I am a grown-up." Sister, I have to share the burden with my parents.”
"Then do you still want to study?" He Tiantian asked, because He Tiantian didn't know how to help Qi Danniu, so she couldn't teach Qi Danniu how to braise pork.
"Think about it! Who doesn't want to go to school!" Qi Daniu said, "But now that school is closed, we can't go to school."
He Tiantian thought for a while and said: "I graduated from junior high school and my grades are very good. Can I be your teacher in the future? I will teach you the knowledge of junior high school. When the school starts in the future, you can take the exam. Come on!"
"I want to study, but I don't want to take the exam." Qi Darniu whispered, with a bit of embarrassment on her face.
"Why?" He Tiantian asked, "Your younger brothers and sisters will be older by then, and you won't need you to take care of the children anymore."
"No, I'm afraid it will cost money to go to school, and I can also earn work points now." Qi Daniu said, "But I remember my previous teacher said that studying more and reading more will always be useful."
He Tiantian smiled and said: "Your teacher is right. Look at your Ergou brother. There is no money to go to school, and the state also provides subsidies. Don't think about money. Study hard first. If you have a chance, you can take the exam." ”
"If you go to school, which school do you want to go to?" He Tiantian asked again, enjoying talking to Qi Danniu.
"I want to be a teacher." Qi Daniu said, "Just like my old teacher Wu, he was very good to me."
It's hard. Qi Danniu was not frightened by the current situation. Now that she is a teacher, she has been beaten into a stinker.
He Tiantian found the previous textbooks, took out a notebook and copied the first lesson. After teaching Qi Darniu how to recognize new words, she asked Qi Darniu to read and recite them by herself. After that, I wrote junior high school math questions in another notebook.
What is very rare is that Qi Daniu is very smart, can learn things immediately, and can also draw inferences from one example.
From then on, Qi Daniu came over to study with He Tiantian almost every night. Aunt Liu had nothing to do, so she accompanied her daughter over, picking up the soles of her shoes, warming herself by the fire and chatting.
Aunt Liu is now more discerning. She hopes that her daughter will learn something with He Tiantian.
Putting aside everything else, since her daughter started playing with He Tiantian, her daughter has learned to dress up, her hair is neatly combed, her skin is better than before, and her appearance has become better.
As time goes by, there is a kind of... what is it called...
By the way, it’s called temperament!
Even though my daughter is young, several family members came to inquire about her.
However, Aunt Liu rejected them all because the child was young and did not accept.
Now is a new society. There are many girls getting married at the age of twenty. Her good daughter will have to stay at home for a few more years.
When He Jingyu and Wang Shuping came back on their bicycles, both bicycles were covered with purchased items. Some of them are ingredients for making snacks. This year, Grandma Qi San can make some snacks to eat.
There are also two new clothes made for He Tiantian and Grandma Qi San.
What's even more surprising is that they received some New Year's and holiday benefits from Huo Zhekun and Jiang Lifang, as well as some industrial tickets and the like. There were many of them that the couple had no use for, so they all were mailed.
Huo Yingjie has a very tight schedule this year. If the project at hand is completed, he will have two weeks of vacation.
Huo Yingjie told He Tiantian in the letter that he would come to visit her and asked her to wait peacefully in Qijia Village and not to run around.
At the same time, Huo Yingjie spent most of his salary and the tickets he received, bought local things, sent them to He Tiantian, packed them up, and mailed a pocket full.
Last time Huo Yingjie went to visit He Tiantian and said that there were no ingredients for making snacks in the county.
So Huo Yingjie kept it in mind. This time he made special inquiries and bought a lot of shelf-stable materials to mail.
Seeing that Huo Yingjie bought a lot, the store even gave him a few plum blossom-shaped dim sum molds.
As a result, He Tiantian's family received a lot of New Year's gifts.
Not only are there simple ingredients for sweet-scented osmanthus cake, but there are also ingredients for Western snacks sent by Huo Yingjie. The flour used to make the chicken cake alone amounts to ten kilograms.
There will be a bumper harvest of grain this year, and with the grain bought by He Jingyu and Wang Shuping, we can have a good year.
The cellar is filled to the brim with cabbage, radishes, sweet potatoes, and potatoes. In the utility room, there are also a lot of fungus, mushrooms and other dry goods. There is also a large area of green vegetables in the greenhouse where seedlings are raised in the peach orchard on the mountain.
Grandma Qi San is smiling all day long. She has food at home and is not panicking. The house was lively and she was in a good mood.
There weren't that many prey in the village this year, but every household got some money.
After the money was divided, on the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, the pigs began to be killed.
There are a total of sixteen pigs in the livestock team, six are handed over to the unit, and there are ten pigs in the village.
Secretary Qi and several village cadres decided not to sell this year’s pork but to give it all to the villagers. If some families are short of money, they can exchange meat with others for money.
However, there are very few such people, because Qijia Village is in good times and most families want meat without money.
You know, if you usually buy pork, you have to go to the commune, which is so far!
Very uneconomical!
One of them was a sow with a baby in her belly. In the end, it was decided to keep one sow and breeding pigs, divided into eight pigs.
Even so, adults can get five kilograms of meat, and children can get two kilograms of meat. Counting all together, a family can have twenty or thirty kilograms of meat.
I would like to remind you, don’t believe the advertisements in the book review area. They are marketing accounts doing marketing. They are not my readers or my friends. I don’t know the effect of those things and have nothing to do with the author himself.
If someone recommends a book, readers can read it if they like it. Everyone is an excellent reader and has the ability to discern, so I won’t say more.
