That afternoon, she stir-fried all kinds of vegetables and gained a preliminary understanding of the key points of stir-frying vegetables.

For the next two days, apart from eating, she hid in the house to learn skills.

The progress of her skills is not calculated by the number of dishes she cooks, but more by her cooking level. It's just because she has just started everything, there are areas for improvement everywhere. Master Zhu has been teaching her one-on-one, and any problems she has have will be raised and corrected.

There are also countless materials for her to practice, and her skill progress increases dramatically every day.

Moreover, I spent two hours in the teaching mode, but only one hour passed outside.

The effect of one-on-one teaching is remarkable. Yi Qingqing can now roughly judge how to process the ingredients and make what dishes when she gets them. Home cooking is no problem at all. She has caught up with the level of her mother Zhao Xianglan, but is still far from Master Zhu.

At noon the day before going to the countryside, after her intensive study, she finally cooked the braised pork in front of her. Her cooking skills were successfully upgraded to level 2, and a new prompt message popped up.

[Through the skill teaching mode, the cooking skill is upgraded to level 2, and 5 sign-in points are awarded (no such reward is given when using sign-in points to upgrade)]

Yi Qingqing: “!”

Can you earn check-in points by practicing on your own to upgrade your skills?

Yi Qingqing's check-in point deposit suddenly soared to 8 points. She was very glad that she had always been very poor and did not use the check-in points to upgrade her skills directly.

If I use it, doesn't that mean I'm spending 5 sign-in points and not getting the upgrade reward? Rounding it off, that's a loss of 10 sign-in points!

She won't continue studying as she will be going to the countryside tomorrow, so she should hurry up and sign in again today.

After exiting the skill teaching mode, she thought about it in her mind and went to the county high school first.

The original owner's academic performance was not very good, so she had to try the check-in place at the entrance of the county high school, which required signing in at 3 o'clock, before going to the countryside to see if it was a skill.

She now has 8 check-in points and the ability to try and fail.

[Sign in at Nanping County Gaokao and acquire college entrance examination skills]

When Yi Qingqing saw the prompt message, she realized that her guess was correct. It was actually about college entrance examination skills.

She looked at the skill column and found that she had reached 88% of the college entrance examination level 1 and was just a little bit away from level 2.

【College Entrance Examination Skills Teaching Course】

【Nanping County High Key Class Teaching Group (Level 3)】

This teaching level is better than Master Zhu's, and he can teach her to level 3 at most.

Now I don’t have to worry about studying problems after going to the countryside.

Another big problem was solved, and Yi Qingqing felt that going to the countryside was not so bad after all.

There were still 5 check-in points, and she went to several of them one by one.

[Sign in at Nanping County Grocery Store and receive 30 eggs]

[Sign in at the Nanping County Supply and Marketing Cooperative and receive two kilograms of spiced melon seeds]

[Sign in at Nanping County Department Store and receive a 14-inch black-and-white TV]

Except for the last TV, which was a bit useless to her, the others were all suitable.

Feeling that there was probably enough food in the space, Yi Qingqing left two check-in points in case of emergency.

As soon as she got home, Yi Qingqing saw Liu Meili pressed against her door. She frowned and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

Liu Meili was startled, and when she saw it was her, she said, "Why did you suddenly speak? You scared me!"

"Who told you to be sneaky?" Yi Qingqing retorted.

"Qingqing, come in quickly!"

Zhao Xianglan's voice came from her room.

Why is her mother back? She's still in her room? It's not time to get off work yet!

Yi Qingqing pushed the door open and went in. "Mom, why are you back so early?"

Liu Meili also came over to take a peek, but Yi Qingqing closed the door too quickly and Liu Meili almost hit the door.

"Don't pay attention to that short-sighted guy. He probably saw me packing and wanted to see what I gave you." Zhao Xianglan spat at the door. "You are leaving tomorrow. I took two hours off and came back early to sort out your things. Come here quickly!"

"It's hard for a girl like you to carry so many things on such a long train ride. Fortunately, it's not autumn yet, so you can still save some clothes," Zhao Xianglan said, pointing to the side. "This larger package contains thinner bedding, spare clothes, and some daily necessities. It looks big, but it's actually not heavy. You can carry it."

"This pile of things, including the thicker new quilt and your winter clothes, are not urgent. Mom will mail them to you next week at the latest. Remember to pick them up at the post office in time, and write back to tell me about the situation. If you are not doing well, I will try my best to find a way for you to return to the city," Zhao Xianglan was worried.

She lowered her voice, "As for the big bag, don't open it until you settle down. There's a biscuit box inside, with biscuits on the top and the money I prepared for you underneath. You must keep it safe. When you get there, make sure to lock up your valuables. I've also bought you a padlock, put it inside the big bag. If you sleep alone in a room, hang the lock on the door. If you share a room with someone, hang it on the box containing your valuables."

"You will use this small package on the road. It contains small daily necessities and a pound of candy. You can use it to build closer relationships with villagers or other educated youth. You can also put dry food in it. There are only a few banknotes, just for show. This twenty yuan was secretly given to me by your brother yesterday and asked me to give it to you. He was worried about it and was worried about your sister-in-law."

"When you get there, buy anything you need yourself. When you have used up your money, I'll send you a letter. Live your life well. Don't get in touch with unmarried men of your age in the countryside, or you'll suffer. Don't be like your aunt Wang's daughter, who married a country man out of fear of hardship. If she can't come back when the time comes, how sad your parents will be..."

Yi Qingqing hugged her mother's arm, resting her head on her mother's neck, and said in a muffled voice, "Mom, I understand. Don't worry. In a few years, I will be able to pass the college entrance examination and return to the city on my own. Then I will take you to enjoy life!"

Zhao Xianglan laughed until tears came out. Her silly daughter, she didn't even have the college entrance examination, how could she go to college? And with her grades, she didn't know? Even if the college entrance examination hadn't been cancelled, it would have been difficult for her to get in!

But it was a good thing that her daughter had ambition. If she had ambition, she wouldn't be trapped in the countryside. So she was pleased to agree, "Okay, my daughter is ambitious. Mom is waiting to enjoy your blessing!"

"Mom, Zhigang and the others will be back soon, and dinner isn't ready yet!" Liu Meili couldn't hear any sound for a long time and couldn't help but knock on the door.

Zhao Xianglan wiped her eyes and said, "Look again for yourself. Mom is out."

Section 5

She opened the door and went out, cursing, "Why are you rushing me? Can't you cook? A new daughter-in-law is still asking her mother-in-law for food every day. Do you have any shame?"

"I'm pregnant with your Yi family's grandson," Liu Meili touched her slightly bulging belly.
