Chapter 259 March
At the end of last year, the farm started to make a profit.
Therefore, it would be much easier for Gu Ci to get a place to study at the Agricultural College this time.
Gu Ci definitely wanted Chu Hong to go with him.
But Chu Hong thought going out was too tiring and was unwilling to go.
Chu Dan wanted to go out and broaden her horizons, but it was not appropriate for her and her brother-in-law to travel far, so she finally let Gu Ci and Song Dongzheng go together.
Because he is well educated, can understand and is good at communicating.
And now it has been decided to build a primary school in Lingzhong Village, a formal primary school that will cater to grades one to five.
Secretary Song was a man of talent, not to mention his relatives. He directly registered his youngest daughter Chu Dan and his nephew Song Weibin as teachers.
Song Weibin just graduated from junior high school, but it is not easy to get into high school now. In addition to good grades, you also need a place.
Nowadays, not only do universities rely on recommendations for admission, but even high school requires a place.
However, Song Weibin's grades were not top-notch and he was not admitted to high school. Now Secretary Song is of course worried about his nephew and has many ideas.
It would be best if the leader was willing to recommend my nephew to go to high school.
This way I will have the opportunity to go to university in the future.
Another thing is that after entering high school, you may be arranged to work in a factory.
Although workers are now working in shifts, technical personnel are still in short supply and educated people are still needed.
Even if it doesn't work out, it would be great to be a teacher.
Furthermore, the director had previously told him implicitly that he could be approached for help if he had any problems.
Secretary Song also wanted the village to have someone who could earn a government salary, so it wouldn't hurt to bring his nephew here to give it a try.
Of course, when it came to the teachers’ side, in addition to their own people, they also added the names of the two educated youth.
It’s not something that can be finalized just by reporting it. It will only take effect after the approval of the superiors.
Chu Hong also went to Lingtou Village for a stroll before returning home.
Chu Dan asked her, "Sister, didn't you say you were going to have a meeting with them? Why are you back so soon?"
"Let's go next time it rains." Chu Hong arrived home, washed up simply, and lay down on the recliner: "Everyone is working now, most people are busy working in the fields?"
And they are all separated, and she doesn't have the patience to go everywhere and tell everyone not to favor boys over girls.
Now she has experience. When she goes to meetings on rainy days, the women will have time to listen to her meetings.
Even so, everyone was still busy with sewing, mending, and making soles.
Chu Hong asked again: "What day is it today?"
Now everyone is talking about the lunar calendar, and Chu Hong is a little uncomfortable with it.
Chu Dan immediately said, "Today is already March 21st."
He smiled mischievously at her again: "Are you missing your second brother-in-law?"
Chu Hong gave her a glare: "He's only been away for a week, why would I miss him?"
Then he whispered, "I just saw that Chen Mei's belly was very big, and it looked like she was about to give birth."
Chu Dan rolled his eyes when he heard this: "Why are you talking about her? You should just pretend that you can't see her."
After that, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "They say that a mother with an ugly son has a beautiful daughter. Does she look good now? Is her belly as big as when Second Aunt was about to give birth to Xiaofang?"
The weather at the end of March is like a child's face, changeable.
It rained and the temperature dropped a few days ago. Everyone was wearing cotton jackets, right?
But in the past few days, the weather has improved and the temperature has risen rapidly, so men working in the fields are not allowed to go shirtless.
In other words, now it is enough to wear a single piece of clothing.
Chu Hong thought about how she saw Chen Mei's face was a little swollen and her complexion was not looking good, but her belly was unexpectedly big, which made her a little scared.
"I think her belly is even bigger than when Second Aunt was about to give birth to Xiaofang."
Chu Dan gloated: "With such a big belly, it's very likely that she'll give birth to a daughter?"
Chu Hong sighed, "I'm afraid she's pregnant with twins."
Twins are not a happy occasion nowadays, because it means difficult delivery, and the children will be small and not easy to raise.
Chu Dan couldn't help but complain: "Second sister, why do you care about her so much?"
"When our eldest sister was still married, she was already flirting with Su Hongqi. She is not a good person."
Chu Hong was not concerned about Chen Mei: "I went to a meeting a few days ago, and the leader said that in order to let the educated youth integrate into the countryside as soon as possible, it would be best if everyone could settle down."
To put it bluntly, it means letting all the educated youth get married.
Whether the educated youths like each other or the villagers like each other, it is all fine.
After getting married and having my own family, I won’t miss going back anymore.
And now I can’t go back because there are too few jobs in the city. In recent years, young people from the city have been moving to the countryside in large numbers.
By the way, let these women's directors pay more attention to the lives of the female educated youth and make sure nothing bad happens.
Of course, Chu Hong is not a selfless person and it is impossible for her to really care about Chen Mei.
But it was herself. She was married now, and Gu Ci was clingy and enthusiastic. When she saw Chen Mei's haggard appearance, she was also worried that if she had a child, she would be in danger during delivery.
After all, even if there is a caesarean section now, it is still immature.
She was afraid that she would be in danger when giving birth.
It’s really scary just thinking about it.
Chu Dan stared at Chu Hong's belly and muttered in a low voice: "Second sister, why are you still not moving? Do you want to take some tonic medicine to replenish your body?"
Chu Hong rolled her eyes at her and said, "I'm still young, I'm really not in a hurry to have a child. You're like the emperor who is not in a hurry but the eunuch is."
Chu Dan muttered: "Good intentions are not rewarded. I am just concerned about you."
Chu Hong smiled and said, "You should take care of yourself. Are there any male educated youths that you like?"
The two sisters chatted for a while, and Xiao Yuer came back with a small basket on her back: "Second aunt, little aunt, I cut some water celery and shepherd's purse. Let's wash them and cook them tonight?"
Chu Dan took her backpack and praised her: "Xiao Yu'er, you are really capable. You brought back so many wild vegetables."
Sometimes she felt a little embarrassed, thinking that neither she nor her second sister were as diligent as Xiaoyuer.
Even though he is often praised by his aunt, Xiao Yuer is still a little shy: "Not only did I dig it myself, but Chuchu and Xiaoyu also helped me."
Two adults and one child started washing vegetables.
In the past two months, the pressurized wells in the village were completed, and now every household has convenient access to water.
Chu Hong's family already had a pressurized well, so this time they specially installed a cement slab and a sink, which makes things more convenient now.
Chu Hong glanced at her watch: "It's almost five o'clock, and it's time to get off work. What are we going to eat tonight?"
Chu Dan was also worried: "A good cook cannot cook without rice. There are only these wild vegetables, a few potatoes, and some chicken and duck eggs at home. Do you want to eat rice or noodles?"
The vegetables in the private plots are just sprouting now, which is a period of transition from green to yellow, so there are not many edible vegetables.
