Chapter 92 Knowledge is Power



Su Simei never posts on WeChat Moments, and the content she posts is occasionally health rumors spread by others, which she just reposts.

It's like a place that specializes in spreading advertising rumors.

But today she seriously asked Xiaoqi to teach her how to send it.

She wanted to post the news that Xiaoqi won the championship on her Moments.

After taking a bath, Xiaoqi accompanied her aunt to cook. She likes cooking very much now, mainly because her taste buds are very picky.

Instead of eating so many unpalatable and messy things, it’s better to make it yourself.

Her aunt asked her to teach, and she was very patient because her aunt was very good to her. Although she was her cousin, her aunt was really a good person. She had been with her aunt for so many years, and even when she was angry and had a gloomy face, her aunt never said anything to her.

As a result, after Su Simei learned how to post photos and videos, she actually posted nine Moments in a row. First, it was a nine-square grid of photos. Xiaoqi forwarded the photos that Jiajia took for her to her aunt. Her aunt liked every one of them and wanted to show where they were. She also took pictures of the exterior of the stadium and the competition banners, so one nine-square grid was not enough, so she posted three in total.

It wasn’t enough to post three nine-grid photos on WeChat Moments, he also posted four videos of a swimming competition.

Then I found some related news on public accounts and forwarded two more news items.

Xiao Qi quickly stopped him from posting more. If he posted too many posts in one go, he would be blocked. Really, she has now blocked her elementary school classmate Zhang Juan. The main reason is that she posts too many advertisements, more than ten every day, which is a waste of time when she scrolls through the posts.

No one in her hometown read the circle of friends that Su Simei posted because the signal in Gumula Village was not very good and the network was sometimes available and sometimes not, so no one in her family reacted.

But when they watched TV, it was already a sensation. Su Guizi, no, it was Su Youfu's daughter who was on TV. Not only was she on TV, she also won the swimming championship and received a prize of more than 10,000 yuan. It was really a real achievement (a way of praising someone for being so good in Gumula Village). I heard that she was also working as a tutor in the city, teaching foreign languages, and had seven students. She could earn more than 1,000 yuan for one class in one afternoon.

If I can earn more than a thousand a day, why should I go to college? This amount of money is enough for me.

Sheng Juanhua came out to explain that there weren't that many, as those students only attended two classes a week.

The villagers calculated that it was more than 2,000 yuan a week, and more than 8,000 yuan a month with four weeks. Now, anyone in the village who goes out to work can earn more than 8,000 yuan. Even the secretary of their village who was transferred from the city is said to have a monthly salary of more than 4,000 yuan. In addition, their village is located in the mountains, and with the mountain subsidy, it is only more than 6,000 yuan, which is not as much as Su Youfu's daughter.

My goodness, the villagers did the math. Su Youfu's daughter earns more than 8,000 yuan a month working in the city, plus the prize money from the swimming competition, that's more than 20,000 yuan.

This is money that others cannot earn, and everyone knows it. They can't even understand foreign languages, so how can they teach others?

Swimming looks simple, just splashing around in the water, but when you watch it on TV, you see so many people splashing in the water. It's not that easy at all.

Moreover, it was on TV, and even Secretary Gong from the city said it was an honor.

Xiaoqi has not returned to the village yet, but he has already caused a sensation in the whole village.

Even Grandma Su, who usually scolds others for losing money, can only smile and say under the compliments of others: "My granddaughter is promising. I could see it when she was young. She is smarter than others."

Everyone else just laughed. Everyone knew each other. Li Fengjiao usually cursed people so harshly that she chased and cursed them, drove Su Lao Da's family out of their home and divided the property, not even giving them a bowl of rice, and drove them to an old, dilapidated house.

On the other hand, there were a bunch of people who were not afraid of trouble and complimented Third Grandma, "Old sister-in-law, you have good vision. The lucky girl is living with your daughter Simei. Tsk tsk, you are her family's great benefactor."

Third Grandma didn't take this up on her and said with a smile, "Xiao Qi is eating with her aunt, and that means she's given food and vegetables. They're aunt and niece, so there's no such thing as benefactor or not."

The villagers also felt that giving them food and vegetables was not taking advantage for free, and there was nothing to say.

However, Grandma Xiaoqi got angry with her sister-in-law (Grandma San) because of this incident, and felt that she was the only one who liked to be a good person.

In fact, in terms of closeness, Xiaoqi's grandmother should be closer to her uncle, whom she always mentions. However, when Xiaoqi went to school in the city, Xiaoqi's grandmother never mentioned coming to her house for dinner or anything like that. She just said that she would send something to her uncle every time she went home. She was afraid that her family would take advantage of her brother's family and make her lose face.

In the evening, Lushan News broadcast this news as expected. Although it was very short, only one minute, it actually included footage of Su Xiaoqi. It really caused a sensation.

After watching the news, everyone came out to chat. The door of Su Youfu's house was crowded with people, and they seemed to be still not satisfied.

After all, it was on the news, and their Gumula Village had never produced any talented people who could be on the news.

They had been on the news once before, but it wasn't glorious at all. It was about how their Gumula village was poor, had no money, and couldn't even afford to eat. Everyone felt magical and a little embarrassed when they saw their own faces on TV.

This time is different, it is a serious news interview, honor and award.

That would be even more sensational than Zhang Juan coming back from working and earning a lot of money to buy a bag worth tens of thousands of dollars.

Everyone gathered around Su Youfu and Sheng Juanhua, asking, "How did you teach your daughters? How come they are so capable?"

Su Youfu was always ridiculed by the crowd, and it was rare for someone to ask him a serious question. He coughed several times before he could find his voice again.

"It's all about reading. Let my child read more. Reading can broaden her horizons. This is how I've lived my life. I just want my child not to be like me. She must study. As long as she can study, I will sell everything I have to support her."

In the past, Su Youfu said that he would sell everything he had to support his daughter's education. Others laughed at him and said he was stupid. Why waste money on a money-losing item? He would just sell it to someone else in the end.

Xiaoqi's grandmother scolded him particularly harshly, saying that he was lame and had a confused mind, and that it would be better for him to spend his money on her instead of supporting that money-loser.

But at this time tonight, when he said this, some villagers inexplicably felt that there was some truth in it.

The village is too remote, and people really don't care about studying. Haven't you seen that Juan'er, the daughter of the Zhang family, makes a lot of money without studying? The daughter of the Cheng family didn't study, but she married in the United States. She sends money to the Cheng couple every month, and they are fat and prosperous.

But today it feels different.

Reading seems to be different.

Even though he didn't earn as much as the American daughter of the old family, everyone seemed to inexplicably respect him. Even those who usually called Su "Cuizi" called him "Cuizi" now called him "Youfu" in a proper manner.

The villagers were very excited and chatted until very late.

Some smart villagers thought that their children were only in primary school, and the primary school in Gumula Village was closed this year. They had to walk to the next village to go to school. Since they had to go anyway, why not send them to the town?

There are also some parents whose children were in junior high school and thought it would be fine if they just finished junior high school, since their grades were average and they could earn a lot of money by working. Now they are hesitating, feeling that having an education makes a difference. Those who have received an education have never seen Su Youfu's daughter, who appears to be very outspoken and speaks nicely on TV, and is not timid at all.

Su Youfu was also very excited, but he still sat down and kept making bamboo weaving. His daughter had enough money to go to college, and she would have living expenses in the future. His daughter was better than others, and she wanted to have as much as possible of what others had, or at least not fall behind. Once, his daughter came back on the weekend and cried, saying that she had no money to buy a dictionary, and was punished by the teacher to stand. Su Youfu's eyes were red when he heard it. Sheng Juanhua was unhappy all day and didn't want her daughter to suffer such grievances again.

At that moment, Xiao Qi was doing her CET-4 exam in her room when a robotic voice suddenly rang out in her ears: "The host has won the women's 200m freestyle championship in Jingnan Province and has been featured in the news. This has brought positive energy to the villagers of Gumula Village, encouraging them to learn and realize that knowledge is power. The system has been unlocked and upgraded to a Level 8 Progress System. The host will receive 0.8 yuan for every step they take, capped at 30,000 steps per day."
