They know that's not true!
Anyone who isn't particularly obsessive about details can understand that even if Huang Qinqin did give them preferential treatment, it was based on the premise that they already had a junior high or high school education.
Just like Village Chief Huang said, you have to meet at least the requirements for an interview before you'll have the opportunity. Otherwise, even if the opportunity is right in front of you, you can only watch it slip away.
Indeed, upon closer reflection, it seems that everyone in the village who graduated from high school went for job interviews.
If their children and grandchildren had the same education, the village chief would surely have told them. Even if they might not become workers, at least there would be hope, wouldn't there?
After realizing what had happened, the villagers changed their tune and apologized to the village chief.
“We were ignorant before, village chief. I agree with building a school in the village.”
"Yes, I agree!"
"Yes, village chief, we agree too!"
Upon hearing that the villagers had all changed their minds and said they agreed, Village Chief Huang immediately asked Song Mincheng to bring out the previously prepared agreement and have the villagers take turns signing it.
In fact, Huang Qinqin only asked Village Chief Huang to have the villagers sign the electricity agreement, but Village Chief Huang himself realized this.
Once the village's pickled vegetable workshop distributes its first dividends, the villagers may no longer agree to take money from the workshop for other purposes.
After all, the villagers only have a vague understanding of how much profit they receive from the pickled vegetable workshop.
They probably all thought it wouldn't be much, so they weren't too opposed to Village Chief Huang's suggestion that after making money, a portion of it would be used to build schools or do other things.
When Village Chief Huang saw the villagers sign the agreement, a huge weight was lifted from his heart. He planned to set off early the next morning to go to the city and tell Huang Qinqin the good news.
......
Huang Family Compound
Dun Dun has been in the city for a few days now, and he's actually starting to get bored. The farthest Dun Dun has gone these past few days is to pick up Huang Qinqin from the department store.
Sister-in-law Huang and Sister-in-law Huang can also go to the market with Wang Yingxue to buy groceries, cook, and stroll around.
But Dun Dun can only stay at home all day, running up and down the first or second floor, or playing by himself in the yard.
Chen Mai and Chen Liang came over today, and Dun Dun is playing "Eagle Catches Chicks" with them in the yard. This is probably the happiest day Dun Dun has had since leaving the city.
"Hahaha, brother, brother, run!"
"DunDun, you're about to get caught!"
Dundun clung tightly to Chen Liang's clothes and ran happily behind him.
Chen Mai wasn't running at full speed at all. He was just watching Dun Dun and Chen Liang's speed. No matter how fast he ran, he would always be a little slower than them, pretending that he couldn't catch up with them.
However, he would occasionally speed up and deliberately scare Dundun: "Dundun, don't run, I'm about to catch you!"
"Ahhh~ Brother, run! DunDun's going to get caught! Hehehe~"
Looking at Dundun, Chen Zhaodi sighed, "Sure enough, children are happier playing with other children."
“DunDun has been staying here for a few days, and today was the day he smiled the most. Usually, he just runs around in the yard all by himself, which looks rather pitiful.”
Grandma Huang nodded in deep agreement: "Who can argue with that?"
"Don't even mention Dun Dun. If I were to live in the city, cooped up in a house like this every day with nothing to do, I'd probably go crazy."
"If you ask me, the city is good, but the countryside is not bad either. At least you can always find someone to chat with."
Zhang Yumei has something to say about this: "Yes, I also found it very difficult to adapt when I first came to live in the city."
"In the village, you can find someone to chat with when you're bored, but in the city, most people have to go to work and don't know many people well, so it's hard to find someone to talk to."
Zhang Yumei recalled when her family first came to the city. At that time, Xu Weiguo was not yet the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, but just an ordinary policeman.
Moreover, Xu Weiguo had just given all of his demobilization pay to his grandmother, and their family didn't have much savings, so they lived a rather frugal life for the first two or three years.
Fortunately, they have made it through, and now their family's life is much better than before.
However, Zhang Yumei still occasionally reminisces about the time when she lived in the village, because it was a more lively time back then.
However, to be honest, Zhang Yumei wouldn't be happy to go back to the village. After all, she's used to living in the city. It would be fine for her to stay in the village for a day or two, but she would feel uncomfortable if she stayed for too long.
Moreover, the biggest drawback of the city is the housing shortage; there are too many people and the houses are too small. But since their family already has a large independent yard, this drawback no longer exists.
Chen Zhaodi nodded in agreement: "That's right, the city has its advantages, and the village has its advantages."
That's what they say, but many people from the countryside are desperate to move to the city. If they had a choice, the city would definitely be better.
Putting everything else aside, just take food rations as an example. In the city, regardless of age or gender, everyone receives their food rations on time every month.
However, in rural areas, food rations are distributed only twice a year, and the amount of these rations is not fixed; a good harvest results in more rations, while a bad harvest results in less.
Whether this grain will last until the next distribution is truly unknown.
Wang Yingxue and her aunt did not participate in the discussion. Her aunt remained silent simply because she was unfamiliar with things in the city.
Wang Yingxue, on the other hand, felt that whatever she said was inappropriate.
If she says she thinks the city is better than the village, it inevitably raises suspicions of being a snob; if she says the village is better than the city, it seems like she's losing face for the Huang family.
After much thought, Wang Yingxue still felt that it was best to remain silent. The more you say, the more mistakes you make; the less you say, the fewer mistakes you make. This saying applies in many situations, and it is true here as well.
After Huang Qinqin came down from the second floor, she found that they had automatically split into two groups, with the women picking and washing vegetables near the kitchen.
The man was cutting the tail of a snail at the other end of the yard.
Seeing this, Huang Qinqin naturally walked towards Chen Zhaodi and the others, and Xu Junhui naturally walked towards Huang Eryuan and the others.
When Zhang Yumei and Chen Zhaodi saw Huang Qinqin arrive, they immediately made room for her: "Come on, Qinqin, sit here."
Huang Qinqin smiled at them and said, "Thank you, Mom. How come there are so many chestnuts?"
Knock knock knock
Just as Chen Zhaodi was about to answer, she heard someone knocking on the door.
