Chapter 298 Why Waste That Money?
Chunxiao has been trying to please her family these days because she doesn't want to go to junior high school in the commune and wants to go to the county. Her reason is that the teachers in the county teach better than those in the commune. Naturally, Father and Mother Liu are unwilling.
After all, you still have to pay for accommodation and food when you go to school in the county. You can obviously save money, so why do you have to pay this extra expense?
Besides, you can’t take the college entrance examination now, so it doesn’t matter where you go to school. Why waste the money?
Chu Xue knew that the college entrance examination would be resumed in a few years, but she couldn't say this. Besides, there was nothing wrong with going to junior high school in the commune. She could just take the exam to go to high school in the county in the future. Even if the teaching staff in the commune was not as good as that in the county, didn't she still have her?
So she didn't quite agree with Chunxiao going to the county to attend junior high school.
As soon as Liu's mother and Chunxiao left, the father and daughter started working. They washed the vegetables together, then Liu's father was responsible for cutting them, and Chuxue was responsible for drying the cut vegetables on the roof covered with coal ash. They cooperated very well.
After the first snow came down from the roof for the last time, she said, "Dad, I will go to my sister's place after my exam tomorrow. Please leave some cucumbers and melons from the private plot for her."
Father Liu was cleaning the knife and cutting board: "I was saving it for her. The melon is pretty good, and we can't eat it all. Why don't we send some to the purchasing station in a few days?"
Chu Xue thought that the price at the purchasing station was not high. "Dad, I'll ask the people at the educated youth camp to see if they will exchange it. It's better than sending it to the purchasing station, and we don't have to go through the trouble of sending it."
Father Liu thought it made sense: "There are quite a lot of melons, can they take so many?"
"Send some to my sister. We'll keep it for a while, and give the rest to the families who helped us before. There won't be much left from the first batch."
Seeing that his daughter had made all the arrangements, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

When Fu Yancheng received the investigation results, his brows were furrowed so much that he could have pinched a fly to death. He really couldn't understand what feud his family or the Liu family had with the Wang family, and why they would let people spread those rumors in the staff quarters on purpose?
He picked up the phone and made a call: "Grandpa, it's me."
"Why did you call me?"
"Are you free now? I want to go over there."
When he heard his grandson's words, he knew it was something important. He looked at the clock on the wall and said, "Okay, come over here."
Fu Yancheng moved quickly and arrived at the compound in half an hour.
The eldest aunt saw him enter the courtyard and asked: "Yancheng, how did you find time to come here?"
"Aunt, I came to see Grandpa for something."
"Your grandfather is in the study."
"Okay, I'll go in first."
Watching Fu Yancheng enter the house, a trace of envy flashed through her heart. Yes, it was envy, envy for her own sister-in-law. She had been subconsciously comparing herself with her sister-in-law all her life.
Not only does she have fewer children than her sisters-in-law, but she also has far fewer sons.
Because he didn't want his only son to suffer, he didn't let him join the army. In the future, the old man would probably have to leave all the resources in his hands to Yancheng, his only grandson who joined the army. He regrets it now.
Although the two families occasionally have frictions, their relationship is still pretty good, and the cousins get along pretty well. The second wife's children are all of good character, and with them taking care of them in the future, even if the children don't have a bright future, they will have a good life, so she is not too worried.
Fu Yancheng arrived at the door of the study and knocked on the door: "Grandpa, I'm back."
Mr. Fu had been waiting for a long time: "Come in."
