Since everyone was talking about Qiu Yuling, they ended up talking about her time in school, and somehow the topic turned to Wang Aihong.
The old principal and his wife, who never criticized their students, were unusually silent.
There's no other reason, it's just that the girl is keen on eating, drinking and having fun, but she is not serious about studying.
It's rare that parents are still willing to persevere in sending their children to school.
Qiu Yuling laughed as she listened. Just thinking about what the old principal said, that Wang Aihong was sitting at the school gate and acting like a spoiled child, hugging her father's legs and asking him to accompany her to study, she felt a vivid picture.
In their opinion, it would be difficult for this girl to get into junior high school.
At this point, Meng Xian turned to praise Qiu Yuling, saying that she was insightful and the best student they had ever taught.
It's really easy to understand with just one click.
As they were talking, the braised noodles were already covered in the pot.
Meng Xian washed the grapes that Qiu Yuling brought, put them in a porcelain bowl, and asked her to eat them.
Qiu Yuling only twisted a few and left them there.
After chatting for quite a while and becoming more familiar with each other, Qiu Yuling untied the bundle. Inside were two sweaters, one khaki and one dark red.
"Principal, Teacher Meng, this is something I knitted in the dormitory with everyone else. I lost some stitches, so I took it apart and reworked it twice. Please try it out."
Vegetables, fruits and melons can be kept, but these precious things must not be kept.
Qiu Yuling had thought of this a long time ago. From Qiu Dashan to Qiu Dahe, then to Qiu Dashu, and finally to herself, as well as the many brothers and sisters in Qiu Zhuang, she registered her name one by one, and finally made it difficult for the two of them to refuse.
The two sweaters became heavy in an instant, just like the umbrella.
It’s a dilemma whether to accept or not.
This time it was the old principal who made the final decision to accept it.
Only then did Meng Xian wipe the water droplets off her hands, take off her apron, and carefully unfold it.
"Is it an open-collar one?" What a clever idea! They are old and weak, and an open-collar one is convenient and easy to wear.
I tried it on. It's summer now and I'm wearing thin clothes, so there's a little extra space. When autumn and winter come, I can add some clothes inside and it will be just right.
The same goes for Jia Honglin. It has enough room to wear, but it doesn't look baggy. He didn't mind the trouble and took out an autumn shirt and a vest to put inside, which fit him perfectly.
The two of them naturally liked it and praised Qiu Yuling for her cleverness and dexterity. Qiu Yuling agreed shamelessly.
It's not that her eyes are like a ruler, but there are few fat people these days. As long as she remembers the approximate height, she can pick anyone to measure against based on this height, and the size will be about the same.
After dinner, Qiu Yuling actually visited the school's vegetable garden. It wasn't as bleak as she had imagined, but it wasn't very impressive either.
She took out the autumn vegetable seeds and, despite the dissuasion, she scattered them all. She also used a ladle to water the plants one ladle at a time.
"I guarantee that what I grow will be good." It just happened to use the old principal's words. He said that he lacked the element of wood, so Qiu Yuling shamelessly said that she was a beautiful wood in the five elements.
The sun was setting, and the old couple were afraid that her family would miss her, so even though there was a little person chattering and it was unusually lively, they suppressed their reluctance and urged her to go home quickly.
Before leaving, Meng Xian took out a set of her treasured books wrapped in blue cloth and asked Qiu Yuling to take them away.
Qiu Yuling did not refuse, nor did she open it in front of them. She just took it solemnly and promised seriously that she would definitely be a good second owner for them and would not let them suffer any grievances.
When they reached an uninhabited area, Qiu Yuling finally couldn't resist her curiosity and opened the blue cloth, and found that it contained [Lianshan], [Guizang] and [Zhouyi].
The latter one is easy to deal with, but the first two are said to be lost.
This is really precious. Compared with two sweaters and a basket of vegetables, I really don't deserve it.
Qiu Yuling wanted to go back, but thinking of the future cultural turmoil, she decided to keep it herself.
When peace is restored, it will be returned to the two teachers or their descendants.
At this moment, she felt a sense of responsibility and wanted to collect more cultural treasures.
Not for wealth, but to leave a spark of hope for future generations!
For the rest of the summer vacation, she actively connected with her classmates, especially those good students who probably had book collections.
They could borrow a replica, or try to exchange it with the popular ones she made, or just pay for it directly, and so on.
I did manage to recycle quite a few ancient books, calligraphy and paintings.
She was like a little butterfly, flying around, and coming home less and less. Li Qingmei rarely mentioned her, but only asked her if she had enough money to spend.
She loved Mother Qiu more than before.
Finally, when she stopped flying out, Mother Qiu also realized that school was about to start.
"Is it cold in the dormitory in winter? I sewed you a thick quilt made from camel hair. It's very warm..."
Qiu Yuling accepted it with pleasure. This is just like little kids sharing their delicious food and fun things with their parents. You always want to save some for the children, and before you know it, the children will think they deserve it.
When one day you think your children should be sensible and know how to share, they have already formed the habit of only asking for things but not giving.
It was all based on the principle of "mine, mine, all mine". I don't know how difficult it would have been to change it at that time.
Therefore, even though she had everything, she never pushed back anything her brothers or parents wanted to give her, and sometimes she even took the initiative to ask for something.
Including remembering the account books, Li Qingmei would convert the money back to her every time.
Her family felt that she had worried and taken risks, and that all the effort and money she had put into it could not be wasted.
She felt that this was the appropriate way, so as to avoid people's fickleness. If one day, someone went astray, she would only be able to blame herself for building the Lotus Tower - "Saint Mary"!
"I've also given you your cotton-padded jacket, and I've also sewed your father's tanned rabbit fur into a gown. I've taken your original gown apart and given it to the three younger children, making one for each of them..."
Mother Qiu kept nagging, talking from the top of her head to her ankles, and gave instructions over and over again, always afraid that she had missed something.
I want to teach her about my daughter's "relatives".
But I really couldn't say it, and I didn't know where to start. It rolled over the tip of my tongue a few times, but I finally passed it over.
Little did she know that her daughter had already been a teacher for other girls two years ago.
She explained things that she couldn't express in more detail than the doctors in the hospital.
"Mom, I know everything. If you're really worried about the ground freezing, just buy a ticket and take a look. You'll feel at ease after you see it."
"Why should I go all the way here to embarrass you?" The county was the farthest place she had ever been to. She had never even been to Yaojie Farm, where her eldest son lived, on the other side of the same county.
"You are the one who gave birth to a lovely child like me. Others are envious of you, so how can they be so jealous?
Besides, who doesn't show timidity when going out? If someone opens his mouth under his nose, he will ask questions about everything he doesn't know. If someone doesn't say something, there will be others who are willing to say it.
Those old ladies in the team are so annoying that they just eat well, drink well, and sleep well. As long as you are better than them, no matter how much they say, they will only envy you behind your back..."
