Chapter 16: Rural Wife in the 1990s 15



These words echoed again and again in the big girl's mind.

The big girl looked at Meng Changjin with her dark eyes. Meng Changjin was looking at her quietly at this moment, waiting for her answer.

Do you want to go to school?

I think about it, I dream about it!

The big girl was very envious when she saw the girls in the village carrying small schoolbags to school.

The girl is too young to understand that knowledge can change one’s destiny. She just wants to go to school. Although she has never been to school, she has an inexplicable desire for it.

Now her mother asks her if she wants to go to school. If she does, will her mother send her to school?

Meng Changjin was not in a hurry. In fact, the reason she asked this was just to ask.

Regardless of whether the girl wants to go to school or not, Meng Changjin is prepared to send her to school.

Studying is not a person's only way out, but learning more knowledge and broadening your horizons will give you more choices.

Now that he has taken over the eldest and second daughters, Meng Changjin feels that he will do his best to allow them to have more choices in the future, rather than just working and getting married and having children.

Meng Changjin felt that the girl was still young and might not understand what this question meant, and he didn't want to hear any firm choice from her right now, but she spoke up.

She had a glimmer of hope in her expression. She didn't ask whether she wanted to go to school or not, but asked Meng Changjin a question first: "If you want to, will mom let me go to school?"

Meng Changjin was slightly stunned by the girl's question, but she quickly reacted and said with a smile, "Of course."

The older girl also laughed: "I want to go to school, I want to study."

Meng Changjin raised his hand and rubbed the top of the girl's head slightly, then nodded: "If you want to go to school, then go to school. It's too late this year, so I'll send you to school next year."

The new grade has been in school for nearly a month this year. Not to mention whether the eldest girl can catch up with the progress if she goes now, the most important thing is that she has not yet registered her household registration.

The Hao family did not attach importance to the two girls, Da Niu and Er Niu, and did not plan to send them to school, so they were not in a hurry to register them. This resulted in Da Niu and Er Niu being two illegal households in the strict sense.

"Mom, I want to go to school too. I want to study too." Erniu, who was sitting on the other side of Meng Changjin, raised her hand, indicating that she also wanted to go to school.

"Okay, okay, Erniu will go to school too." Meng Changjin raised his hand and stroked the top of Erniu's head, saying with a smile on his face.

"Great, Erniu can go to school too." Erniu jumped for joy.

"If you go to school, you will have to take a formal name. Since you follow me, you should take my last name. What name should you take?" Meng Changjin began to exercise his brain cells.

After hearing what Meng Changjin said, the big girl and the second girl opened their round black eyes and didn't know what to say.

Mom's intention was to give them a famous name. Other children in the village had famous names, and they wanted one too. However, they were still too young. For such a big event as giving them a famous name, they were just children and didn't know how they could help their mom.

Before Meng Changjin could think of a suitable name, the fish Xiao Si started to laugh.

Meng Changjin was a little confused. Xiao Si didn't say anything except for a chuckle, so Meng Changjin didn't criticize it.

Meng Changjin touched the little head with one hand, and after thinking for a long time, he finally came up with two names.

As a person who is bad at naming, it is nonsense to ask Meng Changjin to come up with a name that is both good-looking and pleasant-sounding and has some meaning. The two names Meng Changjin came up with are simply a combination of his surname and some other things, and that's it.

Anyway, it's just a big name. If the name doesn't suit the tastes of the eldest and second girls, they can change it later when they have their own ideas.

"Let's put it this way. The eldest girl's name will be Zheng Mingyu, and the second girl's name will be Zheng Mingzhu. Let's leave it like this for now. If the eldest and second girl don't like it, we can change it later." Meng Changjin stroked the two girls' heads twice and said.

"We like it very much!" Erniu is a very supportive girl. She doesn't know whether a famous name is good or not, but having a famous name is good enough, isn't it?

No matter what name her mother gave her, she would like it very much.

"Where is the big girl?" Meng Changjin turned his head to look at the big girl.

"I like it too." The older girl smiled, she had the same idea as her younger sister.

It's good to have a formal name, and the names their mother gave them do sound nice.

Anyway, the girl felt that compared with Zhang Lan, Li Yan and others in the village, Zheng Mingyu's name was quite unique.

Meng Changjin felt a little regretful that she didn't have paper and pen, otherwise she would teach the eldest and second girls their names and teach them how to write them at the same time.

But there was nothing they could do, so the mother and daughter chatted for a while, and around eleven or twelve o'clock they washed their faces and feet and went to bed.

Early the next morning, Meng Changjin was awakened by a knock on the door.

She put on her clothes and shoes, opened the door and found it was Li Xiaohua.

"Ms. Zheng, I'm sorry to bother you so early. The person I invited came here early this morning. Do you want to take a look at the ginseng now?" Li Xiaohua was very direct.

"Okay." Although Meng Changjin was surprised that it was so early, she was quite happy. She didn't want to delay it too long.

"Then Miss Zheng, please get ready. I'll be waiting for you downstairs." Li Xiaohua said, and after Meng Changjin nodded, he went downstairs first.

Meng Changjin closed the door and looked back. Da Niu and Er Niu had also woken up. At this moment, they were holding the quilt and looking blankly towards the door. Although their eyes were open, they seemed to be still sleepy and looked very dazed.

Meng Changjin was overwhelmed by the cute looks of the two girls, and suddenly realized that over the past few days, the two little girls looked whiter and even cuter.

"Get up." Meng Changjin quickly walked over and pulled a little girl out of the quilt with one hand, put clothes and shoes on them, and washed them up. Then Meng Changjin put on his backpack and led the two little girls downstairs.

Li Xiaohua was waiting downstairs. After Meng Changjin brought Da Niu and Er Niu downstairs, he returned the hotel room key to the hotel owner. Li Xiaohua accepted the deposit returned by the owner, and then the four of them walked towards the pharmacy.

Arriving at the pharmacy and entering the reception room, Li Xiaohua placed some soy milk and fried dough sticks on the table and said with a smile, "You haven't had breakfast yet, right? I prepared some food. It may take some time to check the ginseng later, so you should eat something to fill your stomach first."

Meng Changjin did not refuse: "Thank you for your help, Boss Li."

"You're welcome." Li Xiaohua waved his hand.

When Meng Changjin put down his backpack and prepared to eat, a man walked in. The first thing he asked was, "Where is the wild ginseng?"
