Over the years, Qiu Yuling has been fond of buying old stuff. After she got married, Li Xingyao also got involved and turned her hobbies into his own. Whenever he goes out, his eyes are always on those old things.
Because he found a shortcut to please his wife, he thought to himself that when giving gifts, he must give her what she likes. It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat!
The family has accumulated a lot of valuable belongings. When the time is right, Qiu Yuling can just take anything and sell it in exchange for a house in Beijing. There will be nothing to say if the organization finds out.
Several people returned to the village with happy faces and sent the main force to Qiu Village first. Qiu Yuling also sent her third sister-in-law back to the next brigade.
Sure enough, Wang Aihong guessed it right.
Her equally lively old father would kowtow in the direction of the ancestral grave as the first thing he did every day after getting up.
When he saw Wang Aihong, he yelled, and his first words were, "Aihong is back. Dad knew it. My child has been a smart kid since she was little. That's just because she hasn't opened her mind yet. Once she opens her mind, she will be a rocket launcher..."
Don't look at her third sister-in-law who is in her twenties. She shook her head and smiled every time her father praised her. The father and daughter praised each other, and Qiu Yuling felt embarrassed to stay.
"Well, Uncle, Third Sister-in-law, I'm going back first. I'll come pick you up the day after tomorrow."
"Yuling, your aunt has already boiled the noodles and is frying pancakes inside. Come in and eat before you leave."
“…”
Qiu Yuling thought it would be better not to interfere with the father and daughter praising each other's achievements, so she finally got away after much refusals.
Fortunately, she returned in time. The people from the Municipal Education Bureau had been waiting for her in the factory for half a day.
When Qiu Yuling arrived, they were so enthusiastic that they acted like they were the hostess. "Director Qiu is back..."
It turned out to be Zaohua Full-time School. In the first shot of education recovery, its outstanding results attracted the attention of higher authorities.
A working group was specially assigned to carry out integration and collaboration.
“…The key is to coordinate our children’s schools and the education system in terms of enrollment policies.
Zaohua School, while meeting the enrollment needs of the children of its own employees, also hopes to open up a certain number of places to the public in accordance with the requirements of the education department to alleviate the enrollment pressure in surrounding areas..."
Seeing that Qiu Yuling was still thinking, the task force continued to lobby:
"Of course, without changing the administrative relationship, Zaohua School will receive a certain amount of financial support under the local education financial guarantee system. The local government will provide financial subsidies and special allocations based on the school's actual situation to improve the school's operating conditions..."
Qiu Yuling did not disagree, as she had already expected this day.
"Director Tao, I'm just thinking that if this happens, the school's space will be a bit tight, and we can't have the nursery and high school departments all in one place like we do now."
"Don't worry about that. The Education Bureau and the Cultural Bureau will secure space for Zaohua School to expand. As for funding, we will also apply to higher authorities one by one. Zaohua Factory won't have to bear all the expenses ourselves..."
This is a good thing. After agreeing, we will first determine the general direction, and the details will be finalized gradually later. Besides, for some things, local functional departments will have to intervene, and you can't refuse them just because you want to.
What's more, Qiu Yuling originally planned to separate the school part and form its own system within this year.
This is a good thing that combines two good things into one.
In Qiuzhuang, Qiu Dashu and his wife both passed the exam to study in the capital, which was indeed a very sensational event.
Of course, some people can't understand why someone would leave their stable job at a big company and go to some rubbish university. "... If you have the time, why not just work hard and get a monthly salary? How comfortable would that be? Others can't even ask for that. Tell me, they're just stupid!"
"Come on, you're stupid. The Qiu family wouldn't have a fool. That family is very smart. They can even climb a tree if they get any hair on them. And you still call them stupid. That's not a good thing. Why are even the educated youth working in the factory so hard trying to take the exam..."
The two groups, with their limited knowledge, engaged in a tug-of-war, with no one able to win over the other.
Old Mrs. Qiu could no longer sit still. She had a keen feeling that she might never be able to hold on to her second son and his family again.
Everyone in the team said that Qiu Jianshe and his wife often relied on Qiu Dashu and his wife. In the past two days, there were rumors that the old couple were going to Beijing with the young couple.
She suddenly panicked.
He didn't care about the pain and itchiness he was groaning about, and he leaned against the door with his eldest son's crutch made from a poplar branch, and blocked it with his face.
Li Qingmei hadn't seen her mother-in-law for a long time. When she saw her unexpectedly, she was stunned for a moment before she called out, "Mom is here. What's the matter?" She packed up some things in the house and planned to send them to her brother in her mother's family.
"Can't I come to your door if there's nothing wrong?" She was still very angry and wanted to vent it, but now she had her two sons and two promising children to support her, so she couldn't let her scold her like before, so she held back the words when they came to her lips.
"It's not that I can't. I'm busy sending the gray donkey to my eldest brother's house. If you can give me a few words, I won't stop and won't have to go back and do it all over again."
"Are you going to send this donkey to your mother's home?" The old lady was furious. Fortunately she came.
"Well, let my eldest brother take care of him. I'm away from home for such a long time, and it's not like now where I can come back every few days..."
"Then take it to your eldest brother's house. Why give it to an outsider?"
Li Qingmei was so angry that she laughed, "Who is the outsider? Who is the insider? He is my younger brother from my mother's side. In the 1960s, when we had to eat tree bark, we had to share every handful of grass roots we could find with our uncle's family. How can he be an outsider?"
But there are some people who, let's not talk about them, are blind and wicked. They cover up their own white and black faces, and then they have to dig them out of the mouths of my children... It's better not to mention them. When I think about them, I want to slap myself to death for being so stupid back then. "I want to slap you to death even more."
It is true that her son has a promising future, but her daughter is her source of confidence. Ever since her daughter quietly broke off the engagement in the newspaper, she has stood up straighter.
She knew that someone had seen the grievances she had suffered in her life and was able to hold up an umbrella for her. Now, no matter how outrageous the words were, she would not be afraid to say them.
Her daughter won't abandon her because of this. Her sons and two-thirds of her daughters-in-law listen to her daughter.
"You! You! You're really outrageous! My fellow villagers, my life is more bitter than eating coptis root..."
Seeing that the old lady was crying, making a fuss and throwing a tantrum, Li Qingmei decided to follow her example, slapped her thigh, bolted the gate, and ran to the wheat field crying.
"Everyone, come and judge for yourself. We lived on coarse food all those years and never felt we didn't owe you filial piety, but now we're being blamed..."
