Song Qingyun thought for a moment and said, "Our eldest girl is a very smart girl who can endure hardships. She doesn't have much knowledge in elementary school. If there is a teacher who is willing to teach her, she will definitely be able to learn it quickly."
"The question is, where can we find a teacher?"
Xia Weian's lips twitched, "Cowshed, Lao Hu..."
"You're crazy. If you get involved with Old Hu at this time, if something happens, our whole family will have to go to the farm and starve." Song Qingyun exclaimed softly.
Xia Weian scratched his head and said, "I knew there were a lot of intellectuals over there."
"Besides, we're close to the cowshed, and we don't have any neighbors around here. Plus, with the recent haunting incident involving Old Hu, no one's rushing over here."
"Old Hu is a really good man. He values ​​friendship and loyalty. If anything were to happen, he wouldn't involve us."
The more Xia Weian talked about it, the more he felt that his idea was feasible. "We will not only provide food, but also give him extra money. We still need to see how to implement it."
Song Qingyun's eyelids twitched.
"Although our little five, six, and seven are smart, they are still children after all. What if they accidentally let something slip? The third and fourth girls are older and more determined, but they are still little girls."
"I'm afraid..."
"Besides, Lao Hu might not agree. It's not safe for him to come out of the bullpen."
"Sister Yun." Xia Weian held Song Qingyun's hand, "I know you're worried."
"If it really doesn't work, let's teach it ourselves." Xia Weian said with a sigh.
Song Qingyun was stunned for a moment. Yes, they could teach themselves. In their previous lives, they suffered from lack of education, and the two of them even went to night school after get off work.
Although the value of night school is not as high as that of university, the knowledge taught is practical.
They were old and learned things slowly, and they graduated after some difficulties, but they did graduate in the end.
They are ten years younger now than when they were in night school.
Moreover, perhaps it was a benefit of rebirth, but she felt that her body was much better than before, and her mind was always exceptionally clear.
"Sister Yun, let's study hard too. I saw you brought back a lot of books from the scrap yard this time. Let's study together with the kids. When the college entrance exams are resumed, maybe we can give it a try."
Xia Weian was excited again!
What if they pass the exam?
If they pass the exam, they can go to the city openly, or even to places like Shanghai and Beijing.
Their children can also be taken out directly!
In the first year of the resumption of the college entrance examination, the policy for candidates was the most relaxed. Workers and farmers, educated youth who went to the countryside or returned to their hometowns, demobilized soldiers, cadres, and recent high school graduates could all participate.
Xia Weian remembers that there are many people in their thirties and forties.
If others can do it, why can't they, the couple?
Obviously, Song Qingyun was persuaded by Xia Weian.
The couple looked at each other and understood each other's determination.
"That's settled then. It's July now, and there are still two months before school starts. We'll start studying with our daughters tomorrow." Song Qingyun said firmly.
"Okay!" Xia Weian grinned happily. After having a goal, he felt full of strength.
"In a couple of days, we'll go back to work. We don't have to get full work points like before. We just need to earn eight work points. Including the food for each person, it will be enough for us to eat." Song Qingyun felt angry when he thought of the days when they worked like slaves in Old Xia's house.
"Yeah, I'll listen to my wife." Xia Weian held Song Qingyun's hand, "Sister Yun, why do I feel like our current life is so happy that it seems like a dream."
Song Qingyun pinched Xia Weian.
"Ouch, it hurts."
"Are you still dreaming?"
"No, no." Xia Weian begged for mercy hurriedly, and the couple started quarreling in the kitchen.
Such ordinary quarrels between husband and wife only happened in the first few days of their marriage. After that, there was heavy farm work, continuous childbirth, brainwashing by Xia's parents, and blood-sucking by nephews.
At that time, Xia Weian and Song Qingyun were worried every day, and seemed to have forgotten how to be happy.
Now, they gently patted each other, hugged each other, and chased each other simply, as if life had slowed down and was carving out their world bit by bit.
Very happy.
The two of them played around for a while, and then Xia Weian hugged Song Qingyun tightly in his arms.
Song Qingyun begged for mercy, "Okay, stop making trouble, I'll go to the warehouse to check on the pot, you add some water here."
"Okay." Xia Weian hugged Song Qingyun tightly before letting her go.
The two were busy for a while.
Soon it was more than three hours, and both sides were almost exhausted.
Song Qingyun and Xia Weian each handled one pot, cleaning out the bones and debris. The remaining liquid was annealed directly and left in the pot, waiting to solidify.
Waiting like this will take a long time.
Song Qingyun remembered the big lump of ice frozen in the refrigerator. After the pot cooled to room temperature, Song Qingyun called Xia Weian. They both put on gloves and cooperated with each other. They put the lump of ice in the pot and directly dipped the butter on it.
After repeated operations, the two finally successfully extracted butter from both pots.
The big earthenware jar at home was full, with more than half left.
Song Qingyun put it directly in the space. She took a plastic bag and froze the remaining butter.
After the people outside finished eating, she quietly took out some more.
When the two men finished their work, it was already past eleven o'clock. They put the cleaned cow offal into the cellar.
The temperature in the cellar is low, but Han Liehu has done some work on it before. The cellar now has a constant temperature of around 5 degrees, the same as the fresh-keeping layer of the refrigerator. It also has a large area, making it very convenient for storing things.
"Let's go take a shower and have an early nap tomorrow morning. We can work after we wake up." Xia Weian said.
Song Qingyun nodded, and the two of them took a shower in the space before returning to the room and lying on the kang. They both fell asleep quickly.
the next day.
When the big girl and her friends get up in the morning, they all step very carefully, for fear of waking up their parents.
After the eldest and second daughters washed up, they took their younger sisters to the kitchen.
The whole kitchen was filled with the aroma of butter.
"Sister, it smells so good." Xiao Qi's mouth was watering.
"Big sister, big sister, what delicious food did mom make?" Xiaoliu asked hurriedly, "I really want to eat it."
"Mom and Dad made butter last night, and Mom said we'd have bone soup noodles in the morning. Look, the bone soup is there. You can play quietly for a while, and I'll cook noodles for you." said the big girl.
"Okay, big sister."
My sisters are good and obedient.
The big girl's eyes were filled with relief. It turned out that children could be so cute, unlike Xia Zihao, Xia Ziqian and the others...
The girl paused for a moment. Why did she think of those nasty things?
Don't think about it, stay away from them from now on.
The eldest girl kneads the dough, the second girl washes the vegetables and mixes the side dishes, and the third girl makes the fire.
Si Niu looked at Xiaowu, Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi.
The sisters don't need to divide the work, they all know what they should do.
For breakfast, everyone had a bowl of bone soup noodles with some fresh side dishes. It was such a blessing.
When Song Qingyun and Xia Weian woke up, it was already eight o'clock in the morning...
