Liu Xiaoyun took her only money and meat coupons, gritted her teeth and bought two pounds of pork ribs. In order to keep this man, she would do anything.

She had no idea what she wanted to do before she had a goal. Now that she has a goal and there is still a chance of achieving it, she will never give up no matter what.

As for the school matter, the fire has already been set. That man surnamed Lu will definitely not have a good ending, and the higher-ups will definitely hold him accountable.

As for the teachers in the school, every one of them will have no money to earn if the school cannot be opened.

Including Tao Meina, her family conditions are very poor. Her monthly salary is tight, and she has to send money back home in addition to her own living expenses. Now she is unemployed.

No, that damn girl even got paid for her writing. Thinking that she was living a good life, I felt inexplicably unhappy.

She didn't know how to cook, so she simply blanched the bones in water, then boiled them in another water and added some salt.

I haven't eaten meat for a long time. When the ribs came out of the pot, I realized how much I craved meat.

Bai Nan turned a blind eye to everything. He only knew to eat meat when there was one. The years he spent as a beggar made him realize the fickleness of human nature.

No matter how much he ate, he would never feel full, so he ate piece after piece of the ribs.

Liu Xiaoyun was so greedy that she could not wait to see the food, but she could only pretend to be reserved and eat two pieces, and the rest had to be eaten by the man.

She wanted to keep this man to take the blame. Why didn't she think of it before? Wouldn't it be better to just find a man to take the blame?

As for that Ma Xinsheng, he is probably dead somewhere. It would be better if we never meet again in this life.

…

Tao Meina and other teachers received a notice from the school to temporarily suspend classes for a week. The tight schedule of teaching and writing manuscripts left her with little time to think.

If she couldn't go to work, her income would be reduced. Fortunately, she had royalties to make up for it, and she had a few dozen yuan in savings at home, so she could send money home this month.

Looking at the simple house I live in, I thought about adding a cabinet to myself this month. There is nothing in this room, only a bed, and I had to bite the bullet and ask the landlord for the table.

There wasn't even a decent chair, so I put the table next to the bed and wrote.

As for cooking utensils, there were none at all. It was said that when the previous owner moved out, he didn't even leave a piece of paper behind, and he almost peeled off the wall.

Also, I plan to go see Lin Qiaoqiao tomorrow and buy some fruit. I still have some meat coupons, so I'll buy a few more pounds of meat and bring it over.

…

Qin Fang waited until he returned to his room after dinner before he told Lin Qiaoqiao,

"The county school caught fire last night. It was burned to the ground. Now only the gate is left?"

"That must have been arson!" Lin Qiaoqiao immediately thought of Liu Xiaoyun, "Was it someone's revenge?"

Qin Fang sat on the kang and said, "I think so too. As for what the school thinks, I don't know. This is an arson case. It depends on how they investigate it."

Lin Qiaoqiao was still frightened. The fire was set at night. If it was set during the day, wouldn't the children be burned?

"Liu Xiaoyun is so abominable. Where will the children go to school after the school burned them?"

Qin Fang, "The problem of schooling is about to be solved. The head of the education department called me and asked me to help with funding. I made a request that the school be named after the steel plant after it is built, and that the steel plant employees be given preferential treatment."

Lin Qiaoqiao nodded, "That's for sure. The steel plant paid for it, so the children of the employees must be given preferential treatment when going to school."

Qin put on his slippers, went to the kang and spread the quilt, and pulled the curtains.

“I held an impromptu meeting today, mainly to discuss this matter, and it seems that everyone agrees at the moment.

It depends on the final opinion tomorrow. The steel plant is not mine personally. Only after the employees have approved it can I submit an application to the higher authorities, and then use the working capital to allocate it to the school.

This is not a small amount of money. It will take about a month to rebuild the school, and it will require a lot of manpower and resources."

Lin Qiaoqiao thought about her own house and said, "The workers did a pretty good job today. I estimate that it should be ready in another seven or eight days.

After the structure is built, cleaning up the inside is the real trouble.”

Qin Fang thought of the child's hand and couldn't help but touch her belly.

"Don't worry too much. I'm really afraid that the child will be born with worries."

Lin Qiaoqiao laughed, "How is that possible? Just because I worry about the child, he must be a smart guy."

Qin Fang felt that touching was not enough and put his head close to it, but he gave up when he found that he could not hear anything.

“I wonder when I can hear the child’s voice?”

"What's the matter? It will take at least three or four months! We just got it now, I guess it's about the size of a quail egg, right?" Lin Qiaoqiao gestured with her hands, "It's only this big!"

Qin Fang smiled, "As you said, it's only the size of a quail egg, that's indeed a bit small."

The two smiled at each other and both found it quite interesting.

Lin Qiaoqiao soon felt sleepy and lay down to sleep.

Qin Fang did not sleep, but fanned her gently with a fan. There was no wind today, and soon she was sweating all over.

Fanning myself with a fan obviously provided relief.

It is urgent to get electricity. By then, we can install a fan at home to at least solve the problem of blowing air.

He continued fanning until the second half of the night, when the wind finally came and Qin Fang finally went to sleep.

…

Lin Qiaoqiao doesn't cook for the workers now. Instead, she prepares the food in advance and then Mo Hehua cooks it.

At noon, we asked a sister-in-law from the village to help with cooking. Li Xiaoyan was pregnant and couldn’t come to help, so it was a little bit less fun, but it was still okay.

She had just finished lunch and was about to go back to the house to rest when she saw Tao Meina coming in from the gate, her hands full of things, followed by people from the village.

It was obvious that they sent the person back.

Tao Meina was very happy to see Lin Qiaoqiao, "Your house was so easy to find. The people in the village were so welcoming that they sent me here."

Lin Qiaoqiao saw that she had taken a lot of things, "Why did you come here to buy so many things?"

Tao Meina, "Of course I have to be more dignified when I come for the first time. Next time I come, I will take less!"

Lin Qiaoqiao was made a joke of, but she was not angry at all. She saw the things that were brought, including meat and candy, which were also bought with great care.

"I've heard about the school. Wait a little longer. After the house is built, you can continue to go to school."

Tao Meina, "The school has temporarily given teachers a week's holiday. I was free these days anyway, so I came to see you."
