The news that Qin Ting was the city's top scorer in science this year spread throughout Linfeng County in an instant.
The small Huaihua Village also became the focus, attracting a large number of teaching and research delegations.
Li Cunsheng took the opportunity to promote chili sauce, and sales continued to rise.
Initially, the delegation came solely to inspect the market and buy a few bottles of chili sauce. However, later delegations became serious buyers, often entrusted by friends and family to purchase dozens of bottles of chili sauce.
The chili sauce factory expanded.
With the increase in the number of recruits and the increase in the area of pepper cultivation, Huaihua Village is becoming more and more prosperous.
Li Cunsheng went to night school with half of his hair white, learned some knowledge of business management, and quickly took Qin Ting to register a trademark.
Qin Ting's photo is printed on the trademark and affixed to every bottle, and below the photo is the brand of the chili sauce - Xishi Chili Sauce.
After installing the packaging equipment and solving the packaging problem, Huaihua Village's chili sauce began to be sold in shopping malls and grain and oil stores across the country, quickly expanding into the national market.
The municipal government, county government, and various units all gave Qin Ting bonuses.
Qin Ting has no shortage of money now, so she took Qin Anan to Xinhua Bookstore and used the prize money to purchase a batch of extracurricular books, which she donated to Huaihua Village Primary and Middle School so that the children would have books to read.
Another batch of tape recorders were purchased and donated to Linfeng County No. 1 Middle School.
She had suffered from her poor English listening skills, so she wanted to help her younger classmates so that they could have better learning conditions.
Qin Ting was admitted to the Computer Science Department of Huaqing University as she wished.
She had heard in An An's heartfelt words that the future world would be dominated by computers and the internet, and later, smartphones and AI. It was said that because China's computer industry had a late start, many technologies, especially chips, were controlled by foreign countries.
Qin Ting didn't think highly of herself, but she was determined to study to the utmost. She hoped that her joining would add another capable person to China's computer field, and that China would no longer be restricted by foreign countries. Could it be sooner, sooner, even if it was only a day earlier?
After everything was ready, the day arrived to go to Beijing to study.
Xi Lang asked for leave and sent her to the capital.
The family sent Qin Ting to the train station.
Before leaving, Qin Anan gave Qin Ting a gift and asked her to open it after getting on the train.
After bidding farewell, Qin Ting boarded the train heading north.
Xi Lang specially bought her the lower berth of a soft sleeper so that her journey would be more comfortable.
Qin Ting opened the small package Qin Anan gave her. Inside was an ancient book with a blue cover. Four large characters were arranged vertically on the cover - "Imperial Kitchen Secrets".
Her heart trembled and she quickly flipped through the pages.
Sure enough, I found traces of tearing in the middle.
Qin Ting was very excited.
Just one chili sauce recipe has already opened up a market worth millions. She couldn't imagine how much wealth would be created if all the other recipes in the book were developed.
To try to make these dishes, she would need a kitchen.
"Xi Lang, I want to buy a house in Beijing." Qin Ting said to Xi Lang happily.
Seeing her happy, Xi Lang couldn't help but smile and asked Qin Ting what kind of house she wanted to buy?
Qin Ting thought for a moment and said, "Siheyuan, I want to buy a Siheyuan."
She had heard it many times in An An's heart that An An especially wanted a courtyard house in the capital.
She planned to buy a few more sets and give them to An An when she made money in the future.
"How much does a courtyard house in Beijing cost?" she asked Xi Lang.
Xi Lang: "It depends on the location and the age. It's probably between 20,000 and 100,000."
When Qin Ting heard the price, her smile froze: "So expensive?"
She gave all the money she earned to her mother and didn't keep much for herself.
It will take at least until the winter vacation for the dividends from the chili sauce factory to arrive, right?
Xi Lang looked at her with a smile, reached into his pocket, took out a passbook and handed it to Qin Ting.
Xi Lang: "What? Give it to me for safekeeping?"
"I don't need your money!" Qin Ting said, but her hand obediently took the passbook, opened it and looked at the numbers on it.
After reading it, he returned it to Xi Lang.
"Just... just take a look?" Xi Lang sat down next to her, stretched out his long arms and put them around the girl's shoulders.
"Yeah." Qin Ting nodded as a matter of course and said playfully, "It's necessary to understand my boyfriend's financial strength!"
Xi Lang looked into her eyes closely: "So... are you satisfied?"
His eyes were burning, and he was obviously asking another question.
Qin Ting blushed, but did not shyly avoid Xi Lang's gaze. She still looked at him and suddenly gave him a light kiss on the face.
"Satisfied." She answered seriously.
This time, it was Xi Lang's turn to blush.
"Since you are satisfied, accept me and it as well." He stuffed the passbook back to Qin Ting.
"Where a man's money is, there his heart is also. From now on, every paycheck of mine will be deposited into this passbook. Now that the passbook is in your hands, I can't run away." He hugged Qin Ting, resting his chin lightly on the top of her head, and whispered.
Qin Ting felt very warm in her heart.
"But, Xi Lang, you have 170,000 yuan in this card, which is not a small amount." She reminded again, "What if I let you take it away..."
Xi Lang suddenly lowered his head and kissed her lips.
He kissed her to pieces, shattering all the words she hadn't had time to say.
The curtains in the sleeper car swayed with the rhythm of the train, and the temperature inside the car gradually rose...

After Qin Ting left, Xu Xinglin finally agreed to perform the surgery on He Sini.
However, Si Ni had an old injury and needed to be observed and treated before going to the operating table.
Qin Chunxia took He Sini to Huaihua Village every day to see Xu Xinglin for a checkup, and then hurried to the county to look after the store. Her life became more and more fulfilling.
Lu Yun's foot healed.
Qin Chunxia no longer needed protection, so Qin Zheng arranged for her to go to Feng Jingrou's garment factory.
Feng Jingrou treated Lu Yun as her own sister, taught her how to do business, and always took her with her on business trips.
Lu Yun is very smart and learns things quickly, and soon becomes Feng Jingrou's right-hand man.
Following Feng Jingrou's suggestion, she grew her hair long, changed back into women's clothes, and lived a normal life. She no longer had to sleep under a bridge and no longer had to worry about being bullied by men in her sleep.
Just when Feng Jingrou's factory produced the first batch of clothing, "Liren Clothing Supermarket" declared bankruptcy due to operational difficulties.
Huo Yao returned to the Qin family in a panic and happened to run into Liu Fengying bargaining with a strange woman.
Liu Fengying is very strong.
"What's wrong with being in your forties?"
"That man is even older, almost 60, right?"
"The betrothal gift is 800 yuan, not a cent less."
Huo Yao thought they were talking about Qin Chunli's marriage, but the more she listened, the more something seemed wrong. How could Qin Chunli be in her forties?
"Who are you going to marry?" Huo Yao asked.
Liu Fengying looked at her and smiled: "You!"
