"I know." Xiao Chen's chubby little face was serious at this moment. "Grandma Zhao said that if you steal a needle when you are young, you will steal a cow when you grow up. That's not good."
Song Lili was surprised. When did Zhao Qian teach her this? How come she didn't know?
However, she was still happy to hear Xiao Chen say that.
These principles are best understood by the child themselves; they are more effective than nagging a thousand times, and far better than endless lectures that ultimately have no effect.
However, she still wanted to tell Zhang Qinghua and Qingguo about this matter, and ask them to talk to Xiao Zhe about it regularly.
Although children in rural areas often "steal" things when they are young, some things should be prevented from happening in the first place.
Children's education should still be taken seriously.
After the autumn harvest, Song Lili had a little free time, so she went to the courtyard to check on the remaining people.
The rest were all men, and they were all over sixty years old. Song Lili was really worried that they wouldn't be able to take good care of themselves.
If it weren't for Lin Mu, who can cook, she was afraid they would all starve to death.
They were all resting in the courtyard.
Over the years, they still feel exhausted every autumn harvest.
"Lili, you're here?" Lin Mu was very happy to see Song Lili.
The girl gets happy when she hears about delicious food, which motivates him to cook.
"Grandpa Lin," Song Lili called out sweetly, a familiar smile on her face.
"What brings you here today? Don't you need to look after the kids?" Mu Shaohua asked.
They've certainly seen what her son is like; he cries the moment he can't see Lili, without exception.
"Qinghua is at home, he's watching over things."
Although Zhang Qinghua couldn't stop the little boy's crying, he was still able to control him a little.
So it's okay for her to leave for a while.
"That's good. I'm scared of your son."
Song Lili brought her last time; she was going to the kitchen to help Lin Mu, and asked Huang Zhen and Mu Shaohua to keep an eye on things.
That kid cries as soon as Lili leaves, and nothing I do can comfort him.
They were both sweating profusely, but they still couldn't stop the ancestor from crying.
Finally, Song Lili came in and said, "Don't cry." And then, the person really stopped crying.
This world is so magical and strange.
Otherwise, what would a baby who is only a few months old know?
They can recognize who's who, and nobody can do anything about it.
"Is there something you need or just wanted to sit down?" Huang Zhen asked.
"Just come and sit down, let's see if you can take care of yourselves."
During the autumn harvest, everyone is so busy that they're never home, and even if she comes, she won't see them.
That's why I'm only arriving now.
"You underestimate us. We can take care of ourselves," Lin Mu said defiantly.
"Yes, you're amazing, you're a master chef." Song Lili complimented without any emotion.
"Then please have a seat."
They didn't know when they would go back, and if they could, then these peaceful and tranquil days would be gone forever.
And this girl...
Huang Zhen turned her head and watched Song Lili and Lin Mu talking. "We won't be able to see each other anymore. It will be difficult to meet them even if we want to." Huang Zhen thought to herself.
Song Lili came to see them for this reason as well.
After another month or so, they'll all be going back, right?
At that time, even if she goes abroad, it will be impossible to meet again in less than a year or two, since we will be scattered all over the country.
While you have the time, try to talk to them more.
September, the golden autumn month, is another harvest season for farmers, and everyone is busy digging potatoes.
It was at this moment that the village loudspeaker blared.
This loudspeaker was installed a few years ago, along with a telephone.
However, the loudspeaker rarely blared, and the kind of daily reading of revolutionary articles that happened in other villages did not occur in Hongqi Village.
This loudspeaker only rings out in winter to help people pass the time.
But then, the bell rang suddenly that day.
Then, they announced something that drove everyone crazy.
Mu Shaohua and the others were so overjoyed that they wept, embracing each other and crying.
They suffered so much, endured so much hardship, and today, it's finally over, it's finally finished.
That day, no one was in the mood to go to the fields; everyone was stunned by the news.
Immediately following was a deafening cheer, a mixture of years of suppressed grievances and anxiety, as if all of it was about to be shouted out.
Song Lili heard it too, but just smiled. She already knew the outcome, so there was nothing surprising about it.
However, those who have experienced hardship should be the happiest.
Just like Zhao Qian, just like Mu Shaohua.
They must be crying right now, right?
Having stayed in this small mountain village for so long, how could I not be happy to finally leave? I'm about to see my family again, how could they not be happy?
All their excitement had piled up, making them want to shout out loud and vent their pent-up frustration.
Hongqi Village was bustling with activity that day.
Song Lili heard it too, laughed happily, and then forgot about it; she had other things to do.
The people who went to the fields will be back soon, and she hasn't cooked yet. If she doesn't hurry, she'll be late.
She washed her hands and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook. It was almost noon, and the people who had gone to the fields would be back soon.
"Lili, did you hear that?" Zhang Qinghua asked Song Lili excitedly.
Song Lili nodded. "I heard you. It's all over."
Now that it's over, then...is that...?
Song Lili was shocked, this...
Zhang Qinghua, what's wrong with your brain? How did you connect this to the college entrance exam? Very few people would think of that, right?
However, that is indeed the case.
Is it because she's a bit slow?
"Probably. You've made so many preparations, God won't let you down."
Song Lili knew that Zhang Qinghua had always harbored the idea of knowing the secret.
Suddenly one day, the college entrance examination was reinstated.
That's why he never put down his books, and even during his busiest times, he never thought of giving up.
He was afraid that the college entrance examination would be reinstated, but he would have lost that ability.
It was because of this willingness that he persisted for many years.
Song Lili was surprised by his idea, shocked by his persistence, and finally understood how much he loved reading.
That's why she encouraged him not to give up.
Because the opportunity is waiting in the future.
Now, the opportunity is coming soon.
"I'm going to cook. You can rest. If you really know how, then just be prepared."
"Okay," Zhang Qinghua nodded, suppressing his excitement.
He...he understood, Lily said, she said...
Therefore, his insistence was not wrong, and his insistence was reasonable.
Zhang Qinghua chuckled to himself.
Song Lili shook her head helplessly; this was the first time she had seen Zhang Qinghua like this.
