Before Meng Qidi could say anything, the old lady's voice came from the room.
"Fugui, what a coincidence! Our family is planning to go out to a restaurant. If Fugui wants to treat us, that's fine. But you can't let us, an orphan and a widow, treat you, right?"
Ling Fugui was slightly stunned, "Third sister-in-law?"
Wang Jinhua groped her way out and said, "We are a group of women at home, so we won't keep my brother-in-law. After all, it's not good for an old widow like me."
Ling Fugui...
Who would spread bad reputation with an old woman? If you want to spread it, why not spread it with your niece's wife?
Meng Qidi quickly stood up and supported the old lady, "Mom, aren't you asleep?"
"I was woken up by the dog. I'm so annoyed and can't have a moment of peace." The old lady pressed her temples.
Ling Fugui was not happy. "Sister-in-law, what you said is not nice. What do you mean by a dog making a fuss? I just said one word, okay?"
Isn't this obviously a veiled criticism...
As soon as he finished speaking, the two stupid dogs in the house came out chasing each other. The big yellow dog under the tree raised its head lazily, then lay down again in disgust.
"Hey, Fifth Uncle Ling is really something. Do you like being a dog so much?"
Ling Jinyue gloated, "Sister-in-law, this is the first time I see someone asking for trouble like this."
Ling Fugui was a little annoyed at being teased. He originally wanted to take advantage of Ling Xiao's absence to cultivate more feelings with his wife.
If Ling Xiao came back once a year, maybe he would have coaxed his beautiful wife away.
If he stayed any longer now, he would be laughed at. Ling Fugui sighed and felt that he should leave gracefully, at least to leave a good impression on his niece-in-law.
After smiling gently at Meng Qidi, Ling Fugui turned around and left in a "graceful" manner.
Meng Qidi's mouth twitched.
"Aunt, are we going to a restaurant? What do we do in a restaurant?" Ling Cheng asked curiously as Fifth Grandpa left.
Ling Jinyue hugged her and said, "Let's just go out and have something delicious. Auntie will take you out next time, okay?"
The little girl shook her head seriously, "No, I can't abandon my aunt. If I go out to eat something delicious, I will take my aunt and grandma with me."
"You are such a heartless little girl." Ling Jinyue poked her little face, "I am so nice to you."
Meng Qidi didn't hesitate to take the meat that Ling Fugui brought in, planning to fry it in the evening.
Of course, she didn't want to take advantage of others. She killed a wild rabbit caught by Dahuang, and cooked it with some oil and lotus roots.
Ask Ling Jinming if Fugui is still in the village, and ask him to send a bowl of rabbit meat over, and make it clear that it is to pay him back for the meat.
A few days later, the double harvest was over and it was already the end of September.
There was a growing rumor that the college entrance examination would be resumed. Meng Qidi received the printing press and ink sent back by Ling Xiao a few days ago...
After doing the test papers hundreds of times, Meng Qidi carved a hundred test papers in advance.
In early October, the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination spread throughout the country, and almost the entire country was jubilant.
Fearing that villagers would not take the initiative to sign up for the college entrance examination, the village radio broadcasts "Knowledge is power" every day...
"Xiao Qi, are you here to sign up?" Zhao Youwei met Meng Qidi in the threshing ground and greeted her hastily.
Meng Qidi looked at him in confusion, as if he was very happy? That's right, the college entrance examination has been restored, as long as he passes, he can leave the countryside and return to the city.
"Xiaoqi, which school are you going to apply to?"
Applying to school? Isn't it too early?
Although Meng Qidi complained in her heart, she didn't answer him, "I'm going to apply to the provincial university..."
She paused, thinking of Ling Xiao's instructions before he left, she sighed, "I'm going to Jing City, my brother Xiao is there."
There's nothing I can do. It's my fault for owing him. It's just Beijing City. It's not impossible to try harder.
Zhao Youwei was slightly stunned. "Are you sure? Which university in Beijing do you want to apply to?"
"Kyoto University? Tsinghua University?"
"What major?"
"Farming is fine." Meng Qidi shrugged. "Zhao Zhiqing, go sign up first. I'll call my brother Xiao to ask."
Originally, she thought the other party was just asking politely, but the more he asked, the more detailed his questions became. She was not a fool, so she was sure to find something wrong.
This educated youth is close to Ge Mei, so she'd better stay away from him, otherwise she'll get into trouble.
After Meng Qidi left, Zhao Youwei made an encouraging gesture to himself. Although what she said later about farming was nonsense, as long as she went to Jingshi, he would have the opportunity to get close to her.
Meng Qidi went directly to the captain's house, greeted the captain's wife, and picked up the phone to call Ling Xiao in the army.
Fortunately, when I called, the other end said that Ling Xiao had just returned from a mission.
"Xiao Qi."
The man's low and surprised voice came from the phone.
She hadn't heard Ling Xiao's voice for a long time. When she heard it for the first time on the phone, she actually thought it sounded nice.
Suppressing her accelerated heartbeat, she couldn't help but soften her voice, "Um... Brother Xiao, has your army said anything about the resumption of the college entrance examination? Our village said that soldiers can also sign up."
"Well, I'll go down and ask. How many days will it take for me to return from the mission?"
Meng Qidi was slightly stunned. She hadn't noticed what he said just now. "You're on a mission? Can your legs withstand it?"
The casual worry on the phone swept away Ling Xiao's fatigue of the past few days.
He chuckled, "No, you finally healed my leg. Our mission this time is a battle between the red and blue teams of the recruit company. I am just the commander, sitting in the shed and making plans."
Meng Qidi let go of her worries and snorted, "If your leg gets broken again, I won't care."
"It will definitely not be bad. I always keep my wife's words in my heart. Are you coming to Beijing?" Ling Xiao asked softly, nervously waiting for her answer.
Even though she knew that the man was not asking this, Meng Qidi still snorted.
"Why go to Beijing? I have to review for the college entrance examination. As for whether I can pass it by the end of the year, who can say for sure?"
"Okay, okay, study hard and come back next year?"
Ling Xiao couldn't help but laugh. He suddenly wanted to go back. It was less than half a month, but he felt that it had been too long.
"Let's talk about next year's affairs next year. Let's talk business. You can go ask your leader later if he can take the exam for me. If not, I will sign you up in my hometown."
"Yes, sir. I promise to complete my mission as a daughter-in-law."
"Bah! Who did you learn such glib words from? I'm hanging up. Long distance calls are expensive."
"Well, be careful at home. If you have any problems, find the captain or Jin Ming." Ling Xiao warned worriedly.
"Do you think I learned from you for nothing? Last time, I beat that guy in the village to a cripple. Now he hides away from me when he sees me."
Meng Qidi couldn't help showing off, those people were no match for her.
"Are you okay?"
"No, I nearly scared him to death."
The two chatted intermittently and hung up after a few minutes.
Knowing that she had been calling for too long, Meng Qidi placed a five-yuan unity note under the phone.
Back at the threshing ground, most of the educated youth in the village were waiting there.
The educated youths naturally came to the city to escape the rural relocation, but very few villagers came...
