But Xu Ying stopped her mother before she could say anything: "Sun Zhiqing, I have the book here, but I only have one copy. I know how eager you are to become a teacher and make contributions to our commune.
But I couldn’t hide these books, so I decided to take them to the Youth Institute so that everyone could read them.”
Xu's mother was extremely anxious. She was worried when she saw her daughter carrying a stack of books and following Chen Yanran, a scheming woman, to the educated youth institute.
"This girl is just too kind. Oh, I don't know what to say." Xu's mother sighed.
Father Xu didn't think so. Instead, he felt that his daughter had grown up.
"You are such a narrow-minded woman, my daughter doesn't want me to be criticized.
If she didn't lend the book to Sun Zhiqing, believe it or not, they would say in the Zhiqing Institute that the team leader's family had the book but didn't lend it to them.
When the second child passes the exam to become a teacher, these people will add fuel to the fire and say that I, as the team leader, must have done something to help the second child pass the exam to become a teacher.
If they all study hard and the exam is strictly enforced, and they fail, it means they are inferior in skills.”
Chen Yanran was still a little confused when she and Xu Ying arrived at the Youth Educated Home. She didn't expect Xu Ying to be so easy to talk to. She had thought of several schemes to destroy Xu Ying's reputation, but now she couldn't carry them out.
It also gave Xu Ying the opportunity to gain a good reputation.
“Dear educated youth sisters and brothers, these are the elementary and middle school books I found for you. I have an extra copy at home. The quota for teachers in Yushan Commune is very valuable, and this is all I can do.
I hope that everyone will study hard and strive to pass the exam to become a teacher, so that they can teach the children well.
Students are the flowers of the motherland and the future of the motherland. The responsibility of cultivating talents for the motherland is entrusted to you.
······"
Xu Ying's vivid speech immediately made the educated youth feel excited.
"Thank you, Xu Ying. We will definitely try our best."
"Yes, Xu Ying thanks you."
Everyone expressed their gratitude a lot, and Xu Ying walked out of the Youth Institute with satisfaction. She had said that the pancake would be ready, but whether it could be completed was up to them.
If they don't finish it, it's not their fault. It's all their fault for not studying hard.
Chen Yanran looked at Xu Ying and saw that she walked out of the Youth League Institute without even giving her a glance. She was so angry that her nails dug deeply into her flesh.
When Xu Ying returned, Mrs. Xu had already prepared dinner and was waiting for her to come back for dinner.
"Little sister, it's time to eat." Ever since the relationship between her son and sister-in-law improved, Mrs. Xu has been very warm towards Xu Ying. She was also very nice before, but she was forced by her mother-in-law at that time. Now she is very nice completely from the bottom of her heart.
"Sister-in-law, I'll take the bike back to grandma first. Please tell mom." Xu Ying stood at the door and rode away on the bike.
When she arrived at Grandma Xu's door, she looked around to see if there was anyone around, and secretly took out a few pounds of pork from her space: "Grandma, I'm back to return the car to you."
Xu Ying shouted loudly and pushed the cart into the yard.
"Grandma, this is the pork I bought for you, and a small bag of fine noodles. I asked my eldest cousin's wife to make some noodles for you and grandpa every day. You are old now, so you should eat something that is easy to digest."
When Grandma Xu heard this, her eyes suddenly turned red despite being such a strong person.
"What are you doing? Your grandfather and I are old. Why should we eat such good food? It will be gone in the next poop.
Take it back, you and your nephew can eat it, and it will help you grow taller."
Xu Ying knew that the old lady was reluctant to eat it, so she smiled and said, "Grandma, I will have a job soon. When I make money, I will buy you fine noodles every day."
Old Mrs. Xu was a little bit unconvinced. Her granddaughter was so lazy, how could she find a job? She couldn't be bragging.
She said with a long face, "You kids just need to eat. Your grandfather and I are this old, but we haven't grown taller or smarter. Why should we eat so well?"
Old man Xu walked out of the house with a fierce look on his face. He felt as sweet as eating honey in his heart: "These are gifts from my children. Why do you ignore their filial piety?"
"Grandpa, take the things. I'm going back!" Xu Ying dropped the things, turned around and ran away.
Old Lady Xu watched her granddaughter leave, glared at the man and said, "You are already this old, but you are still greedy. It would be better to give such good food to the younger generations."
Old Man Xu disagreed: "I have raised these children to this age, shouldn't they be filial to me a little? Besides, I don't have to show filial piety every day, once in a while is not too much!
If you don't accept it, the child will definitely feel sad. Can't you see that our granddaughter is determined to give the things to us?"
Old Lady Xu snorted coldly and said, "I am also determined not to accept these."
"It's unreasonable." After saying this, Old Man Xu shook his sleeves and walked out of the yard.
Soon it was Xu Ying's day to cook, and early in the morning he went to the old house to borrow a bicycle.
I rode my bicycle and rushed to the county town like flying.
Because it was her first day at work, Xu Ying was particularly strict about her dress code. She changed her previous skirt into a set of long-sleeved trousers.
"Good morning, Director Chen."
"Xiao Xu, you're here. It's getting late. Go to the kitchen and see if there are any ingredients you need." Director Chen said anxiously.
It’s almost noon now. Is it still too late to cook?
It takes at least an hour to prepare and cut the vegetables, and how long does it take to cook them?
Xu Ying curled her lips and looked at the time. It was exactly half past nine.
She strode into the kitchen, looked at the ingredients in the kitchen, nodded, and found that they were exactly the same as she had reported before.
Xu Ying rolled up her sleeves and began directing others to wash and cut vegetables.
These ladies had long been impressed by Xu Ying's cooking skills, and they happily started washing the vegetables: "Xiao Xu, please leave some for us after you cook.
I think with your cooking skills, you can be a chef in a state-owned restaurant without any problem."
"That's right! I was lucky enough to go to a state-owned restaurant and ate there once. The food cooked by that chef was delicious, but it was still inferior to Xiao Xu's."
Xu Ying felt that she couldn’t praise herself anymore, otherwise she would float to the sky.
I have to say that the system is still useful. After unlocking these new cooking skills, she feels that the food she cooks is more delicious than before.
"Auntie, my lady is not as good as you say." Xu Ying appeared modest, but in her heart she thought that the state-owned restaurant was indeed a good place.
If she goes to work in a state-owned restaurant, her favorability points will increase instantly.
After the ladies washed and cut the vegetables, Xu Ying started to work in front of the stove.
She rolled up her sleeves, and her white and tender wrists, like jade lotus roots, waved the spatula in the pot.
Xu Ying no longer had a smile on her face and looked serious, emitting an awe-inspiring aura that should not be underestimated.
