Chapter 60

Tang Qingqing did not remind Zhao Dahua, and even if she did, Zhao Dahua would not take it seriously and did not attach importance to the child's education.

Even though there are many examples in the village of older children who are unwilling to support their parents, we should not learn from them and blindly think that we can control our own children.

Those who abuse their parents and elders never think about their children following suit.

It was useless for Zhao Dahua to keep cursing. It was impossible for his uncle and aunt to give up something they had obtained just because they were scolded.

Before the family split up, they had no access to any good things. Now that they are independent, they have finally earned some good things and can enjoy them.

After the separation, it was not as sad as they had imagined, and life was still bearable.

This also has a lot to do with having connections selling rattan baskets, otherwise my aunt would have had a very hard time supporting the family on her own.

My uncle is also a hard-working man. Although he has poor legs and feet, he tries his best to do the housework.

Yang Zhaodi and his wife also often come over to help, for example, they come back to help cut vines and so on.

Tang Qingqing would also bring things back, so the family lived a pretty good life and was more comfortable than before.

Tang Qiaoqiao's personality has become more cheerful and generous than before, and she has become much more lively.

When the meat was being divided, Old Lady Wu also made some overt and covert representations to the eldest wife's family.

Uncle and aunt were not stingy people. They cooked the meat and sent a few pieces to Old Lady Wu, but they could not give more.

The oil from frying the fat they shared was enough to last the family for a long time.

"It would be great if we could raise a few more pigs next year!" Tang Qiaoqiao said happily while eating the oil residue.

The brigade raised a limited number of pigs, and each household was given a limited number of pigs.

Some families didn't even get a pig, and most of those they got only one.

They were able to get two pigs because their great aunt Wang Simei raised them well. Other people's pigs would weigh at most 200 kilograms, but Wang Simei's pigs would weigh nearly 300 kilograms. This time, the pigs weighed more than 300 kilograms.

Therefore, the brigade allocated two pigs for her to raise, and the others had nothing to say.

Wang Simei laughed and said, "How can we take all the benefits?"

"Oh, it would be nice if I could raise a few more chickens." Tang Qiaoqiao sighed.

The number of chickens that each household can raise is limited. If you can raise a few more, you can collect eggs every day and exchange them for a lot of money.

Tang Qiaoqiao was often with Tang Qingqing, and she also knew what Zhai Hongyi and Wang Heizi were doing.

She was not jealous of the fact that they made a lot of money from reselling, and she always wanted to raise more chickens.

Tang Qingqing: "There will be opportunities in the future."

Tang Qiaoqiao was very convinced by Tang Qingqing, "Really? That would be great, then we can raise a dozen chickens, no, twenty or so, so that we can have lots of eggs every day! When the chickens stop laying eggs, we can sell them for money."

The more Tang Qiaoqiao thought about it, the more excited she became. She wished she could catch so many chickens tomorrow to raise.

Wang Simei shook her head and smiled: "Even if we can raise so many chickens, where can we get so much food?"

Their family could afford to raise two pigs because they received rice bran and other food from the brigade as pig feed.

Tang Qiaoqiao stuck out her tongue. She almost forgot about it.

"When that time really comes, these problems can be solved." Tang Qingqing said firmly.

When the land is divided, given Wang Simei's diligence, she will definitely be able to take good care of the land, and the output will definitely be different from what it is now.

According to historical progress, as long as you work hard, your life will get better and better.

Wang Heizi and Zhai Hongyi had been running outside and were quick to notice the change in wind direction.

The management is not as strict as before and business is much better than before.

Tang Qiaoqiao was very much looking forward to the future that Tang Qingqing talked about, but her uncle and aunt did not have too many thoughts and felt that their current life was already very good.

After the separation, I am very surprised that we can live like this.

In June, Tang Qingqing took the entrance exam from primary school to junior high school and was admitted to the commune's No. 1 Middle School with excellent results.

This was the first time in nearly ten years that someone from Rongshan Brigade was admitted to the county's No. 1 Middle School. The old principal was happy but not surprised.

He had seen Tang Qingqing's performance with his own eyes, and it was not surprising that a girl with such great abilities could be admitted to the No. 1 Middle School in the commune.

Now Tang Qingqing's reputation is more famous than that of Rongshan Brigade. Even if she does not take the exam, she can be admitted to the No. 1 Middle School of the commune.

The only problem now is that Tang Qingqing is attending the commune's No. 1 Middle School, and she can probably only go home during the winter and summer vacations.

Tang Xingqiang held Tang Qingqing's arm and said, "Sister, I really don't want to leave you. Will you forget about us when you go to school?"

Tang Qingqing laughed, "What nonsense are you talking about."

Tang Qiaoqiao and Tang Xingsheng were also in low spirits, not at all as excited as they had been when they first learned that Tang Qingqing had been admitted.

"I'm going to study, it's not like I won't be back."

"It takes a long time for us to meet." Tang Qiaoqiao muttered.

Tang Xingsheng said nothing, but his depressed mood was visibly evident.

In this family, Tang Qingqing is the only one who will never ignore him.

Although Wang Heizi was reluctant, he was still relaxed because he went to the commune often and Zhai Hongyi was by his side.

"Brother Yi and I will visit you often."

Wang Heizi never imagined at this time that he would soon experience the pain of the Tang brothers and sisters.

When the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination spread throughout the brigade, all the educated youth were excited.

In fact, as early as July and August, there were already vague news that had caused a stir among the educated youth. Everyone was restless and found it difficult to calm down.

When the news was officially announced and this year's college entrance examination would be held a month later, the educated youth were even more furious.

This time is too tight! Many educated youth never touched a book again after leaving school.

Many people did not study well in school, and now they suddenly have to take the college entrance examination, and many of them have forgotten what they have learned.

But no one wanted to miss this opportunity to change their destiny. They signed up and looked for old textbooks everywhere to start reviewing.

Not only the educated youth, but also the locals felt that the wind had changed.

Sensitive people use this to encourage their children to study hard. Now that the college entrance examination has been resumed, it means that there will be more options in the future.

On the day when the college entrance examination was officially announced to be resumed, Tang Qingqing asked for leave from the school and went home, bringing with her the newspaper in which the notice was published.

After Tang Qingqing went to the commune's No. 1 Middle School, she seldom asked for leave to follow up.

Although the school leaders and most teachers knew her name and it was not difficult for them to ask for leave, after she entered junior high school, they generally would not look for her unless they really couldn't find any clues.

Because of her fame, Tang Qingqing was not excluded or bullied by some city kids just because she was from the countryside.

Having faced a murderer and brought him to justice, such experience is enough to make teenagers admire him.

Tang Qingqing became a celebrity as soon as she entered the school, not only because of her title of "the heroine with divine eyes", but also because of her beautiful appearance.

Now Tang Qingqing has fully grown up and her height has reached 1.6 meters. Although her skin is not as white as snow as described in the books due to frequent exposure to wind and sun, it is very delicate and shiny. The slightly darker skin tone does not lower her appearance, but makes her temperament more resolute, and she is less weak and pitiful as described in the books.

However, she was still as outstanding as described in the book, only more sunny and bright.

She is graceful and has excellent academic performance. Both teachers and students like her very much.

Tang Qingqing asked for leave from her class teacher, who approved her leave without even asking her why.

Rongshan Brigade is located in a remote area, so the news it received was relatively delayed. Although Tang Qingqing was not the first person to bring the news back to the village, she was the first person to bring back the newspaper.

With the newspaper, everyone was more certain of the news.

The educated youth came running over to borrow the newspapers, and some of them burst into tears while holding the newspapers.

Tang Qingqing left the newspaper and ran to find Zhai Hongyi.

Not surprisingly, Zhai Hongyi was at Old Liu's house, chopping wood in the yard.

The sun is shining brightly today and the temperature has risen again.

Zhai Hongyi was shirtless. He has grown up now, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He looks thin when he is dressed, but when he takes off his clothes, you can see his solid muscles, which makes him look powerful.

His body was covered with a thin layer of sweat, which looked like a layer of oil in the sunlight, making his muscles more prominent and full of strength and beauty.

They were already very familiar with each other, but every time Tang Qingqing saw him like this, she couldn't help blushing.

"Why are you back?" Zhai Hongyi felt the gaze and looked up in surprise.

Tang Qingqing pretended to be calm and looked away, "Brother! The college entrance examination has been resumed! The time for this year's college entrance examination has also been confirmed, and it will start in a month!"

Zhai Hongyi was stunned. Although there had been some rumors before, he was still a little surprised when he actually heard that the college entrance examination would be resumed.

"Brother, you should sign up too!"

Wang Heizi heard the noise outside and walked out of the house.

"Tang Qingqing, why are you back? What have you recovered from?"

Tang Qingqing repeated, and Wang Heizi glared: "Ah, are you really recovered?"

"It has recovered. Look, it's all in the newspapers."

Wang Heizi quickly snatched the newspaper and read every word carefully.

"Ah, I've really recovered."

Zhai Hongyi had already put on his clothes at this time, and his expression was very calm, completely different from those educated youth who were either upset or happy after hearing the news.

When other people heard the news, regardless of whether they could pass the exam or not, they seemed to see hope.

At least this time, they can rely on their own strength to fight with real guns and real bullets, and they will be willing to accept it even if they fail the exam.

Zhai Hongyi acted a little too calm.

Wang Heizi and Tang Qingqing looked at each other. Could it be that this big brother doesn't want to take the exam?

Although Wang Heizi was reluctant to part with Zhai Hongyi, he knew the importance of the matter.

Wang Heizi asked cautiously: "Brother Yi, what do you think?"

"No idea."

Wang Heizi and Tang Qingqing both gasped.

"Just go take the exam, what else can you think about?"

Such a heavy breath!

Wang Heizi and Tang Qingqing both breathed a sigh of relief, but they were scared to death.

Wang Heizi: "I was so scared. I thought you didn't want to take the exam."

“I don’t want to take the exam.”

Wang Heizi wanted to pinch Ren Zhong.

"Let's give it a try." Zhai Hongyi said lightly, showing no enthusiasm.

Tang Qingqing was a little worried. Although the book said that this year was the first time the college entrance examination was resumed, the questions were not very difficult and Zhai Hongyi's level was also online.

There are a lot of people who can apply, but very few are admitted. Zhai Hongyi's attitude makes her worried.

Zhai Hongyi felt her worried gaze and said, "As long as I take the exam, I won't be laughed at."

"Brother, I believe you can pass the exam!"

In order to motivate him, Tang Qingqing changed the subject: "Brother, which school do you want to apply to?"

Zhai Hongyi didn't say anything. Wang Heizi said, "It has to be the capital! I'll take the exam there in the future. There are great people there!"

"Then let's do that." Zhai Hongyi said casually.

Obviously it was such a big deal, but Zhai Hongyi's calm attitude made Wang Heizi and Tang Qingqing very unsure of what he was thinking.

But no matter what, Zhai Hongyi would not give up this opportunity to change his fate, so the two of them felt relieved.

Now it was Wang Heizi's turn to feel sad. "You all passed the exam, and I'm the only one left in the village."

Tang Qingqing left, and the trio was almost gone.

Now that Zhai Hongyi is gone, the two-person business team has disbanded, and Wang Heizi feels really upset.

If he had known earlier, he would not have given up going to school and he would be able to keep up with the progress now.

Tang Qingqing encouraged him: "If you work harder, you will pass the exam soon."

"You won't abandon a backward person like me, right?" Wang Heizi now finally understood the feelings of the Tang brothers and sisters.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who do you think we are?"

Wang Heizi was still unhappy, and he started studying hard that day without anyone urging him to do so.

Tang Qingqing stayed in Rongshan Brigade for only one night before rushing back to school.

She also has to work harder and try to pass the junior high school entrance exam and the college entrance exam. She likes campus life very much and wants to learn more.

After school on Saturday, Tang Qingqing prepared to go to the Public Security Bureau cafeteria to eat as usual.

This was a benefit given to her by the Public Security Bureau, and she would go there every weekend to improve her food.

When she walked out with her classmates, she saw Zhai Hongyi and Wang Heizi at the school gate.

Tang Qingqing was talking to her classmates at the time. Before she noticed them, her classmates noticed them first.

It's really that Zhai Hongyi is too dazzling. He is tall and looks particularly neat and upright. His face is also very outstanding. Even when he stands there, he looks charming with casual movements.

Girls in their teens have already started to know some things, and it is inevitable that they will be attracted to such outstanding opposite sex.

Tang Qingqing heard someone say that there was a man at the door who looked particularly energetic, and when she looked up she saw two people.

Tang Qingqing was very surprised and confused. She told her classmates and hurried over to greet them.

"Why are you here?"

Tang Qingqing looked at Zhai Hongyi, "The college entrance examination is only a few days away, why are you still wandering here?"

Now the educated youth are eager to study late into the night every day, but Zhai Hongyi is not affected at all and everything is the same as before.

If Tang Qingqing hadn't known that he had already registered, she would have thought that he had given up on the college entrance examination.

Wang Heizi did not wait for Tang Qingqing to attack him, but defended himself first:

"You can't blame me for this. Brother Yi insisted on doing it the same as before. If I didn't do it, he would do it himself."

Zhai Hongyi: "All the books are memorized in my mind."

Tang Qingqing knew that he was very smart, and she didn't know what to say, so she just said, "Just know what's going on."

She was still very happy to see the two of them. Although she made new friends at school, her feelings for them were still different and had not weakened.

The trio went to the Public Security Bureau to have dinner together, and Chef Li was very happy to see them.

"I haven't seen you three together for a long time. I've got something good for you today!"

After a while, Chef Li brought out three bowls of salted noodles. Each bowl was almost overflowing with the noodles, which were fragrant and very appetizing to look at.

"Xiao Yi, you are going to take the college entrance examination this year, right? You look smart, you will definitely pass!"

Zhai Hongyi has already done business with Chef Li, and he did it in an open and aboveboard manner, using the name of the brigade. Tang Qingqing doesn't know how he did it.

By doing this, it will be beneficial to all three parties. The captain now sees that Zhai Hongyi's smile is so genuine.

Even though the cafeteria of the Public Security Bureau is not very big, once we get Chef Li on board, the logistics of other units will be much easier.

The reason why Chef Li was able to work as a chef in the Public Security Bureau was certainly because of his good skills, but also because he had connections, otherwise he would not have been able to be assigned to this job.

Tang Qingqing had never paid much attention to their business, and had even less contact with it after entering junior high school.

So every time I realize it only afterward, but I know exactly what they are busy with.

It has to be said that Zhai Hongyi has a great talent for business.

"Uncle Li, I want to borrow your good words."

The college entrance examination day is coming soon, and whether you are well prepared or not, you have to enter the examination room.

Unexpectedly, on the first day of the college entrance examination, Zhai Hongyi encountered problems.
