Chapter 16: Reclaiming the Pension (2/2)



"Second sister-in-law, since you trust Xu Changgui so much, why don't we make a bet?"

.

Three hours later, Xiao Jiahua returned to Qinghe Village with a pension of 1,000 yuan.

As soon as he returned to the village, he went to the brigade office first and went to see Village Chief Zhao.

Although her goal of getting money was achieved, she couldn't be happy.

After leaving the brigade office, Xiao Jiahua went to the farm canteen on purpose.

She bought a bowl of stewed chicken and radish, and used her second brother's money to fatten up her two children for the autumn.

The two dumplings ate until their faces were covered with grease and they almost swallowed the chicken bones.

At night, Xiao Jiahua was alone in his bedroom thinking about things.

Winter is coming soon. Xiao Dabao and Xiao Shitou’s cotton-padded jackets are old and not warm enough. It would be better to change them into down jackets.

These are ready-made clothes of slightly better quality, and are only sold in county towns.

Xiao Dabao has learned more and more words, and Xiao Shitou is three years old now, so it’s time to start early education.

What Gengdu Primary School can teach is limited, and all classes are about agriculture.

Xiao Jiahua wanted to teach in person, but he didn't have the right teaching materials.

The textbooks of Jiahua Primary School and Junior High School were all destroyed, and the textbooks of the senior high school were also left at the school, probably thrown away by the faculty and staff.

So, she had to go to Xinhua Bookstore to buy some textbooks and extracurricular reading materials.

Even she herself, having stayed in Qinghe Village for too long, without reading books or studying, had a narrow vision and her brain was almost rusting.

The more formal Xinhua Bookstores are only found in county towns.

As for what good books are available in this generation and what books are suitable to read, Xiao Jiahua thought of one person - Qi Keyan.

There are already professors at universities, so if we don't ask them for advice, isn't it a waste of resources?

Thinking of this, Xiao Jiahua lit the candle and spread out the letter paper.

Perhaps it is because the fountain pen of Qi Keyan is really comfortable to use and is extremely smooth.

Xiao Jiahua had thousands of words in his heart, and they were unconsciously expressed on paper.

She told him cryptically that the elders in the family had taken medicine and their condition had improved significantly, so he should not worry anymore.

She also thanked him for sending her milk candies and moon cakes, which the children loved very much. However, the conditions in the army are difficult, so there is no need to send it deliberately in the future.

Speaking of the two children, she briefly talked about pensions and reading, and asked him what books he should read.

When the half candle was about to burn out, she hurriedly finished writing:

[䲾Keyan, when you reply to my letter, you'd better write in plain English and stop using flowery idioms. It makes me tired! 】

Of course, the soap he sent is also very useful.

Principal Jiahua said in his heart.

The next morning, there was a commotion outside with the beating of drums and gongs, which called all the men in the village to come.

At noon, neighbor Cheng Chunxia came and reminded her not to go out for the next two days.

"This morning, Xu Changgui from Lijia Village came to cause trouble, saying he was helping his mistress to steal some kind of pension. As a result, as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they were beaten back by the men in our village."

"What? How many of them are there? Is anyone in our village injured?"

"Don't worry, my husband said that there were only three or four losers and little hooligans who were scared out of their wits when they saw the hoes and iron spades in our village!"

Cheng Chunxia said with relief.

This... is ridiculous!

Xiao Jiahua guessed that Xu Changgui was unwilling to give in and would come to cause trouble, but she never expected that he would be so cowardly.

She knew that she had won the bet this time.
