The Chinese New Year is almost here.

Su Qianqian, Cheng Yue and others returned to Tianshui Brigade to celebrate the New Year this year.

Today, Tianshui Brigade has changed a lot, and a long cement road has been built.

It is much more convenient to go back, and it won’t be as bumpy as before. Moreover, street lights have been installed in many places, so walking at night is not so scary anymore.

Although everyone is still used to calling it Tianshui Brigade, it has actually been changed back to the village committee, and Tianshui Brigade is now Tianshui Village.

"Director Su is back!" She was seen as soon as she got off the car, and then everyone cheered.

Now almost everyone in the village regards her as a great philanthropist who has provided many people with jobs. Nowadays, whoever can feed people is a bodhisattva!

"Long time no see, how are you doing?"

"Very good. How long will Director Su stay for the New Year this time?"

"After the Lantern Festival."

"The three children have grown so tall." The villagers exclaimed in amazement when they saw the size of the three little ones.

I clearly remembered that these three kids were little kids, but now they look to be over 1.4 meters tall.

People in the 1980s were generally not tall, and many children were short due to malnutrition. The three children were considered tall compared to their peers.

Before coming back, Su Qianqian measured them. Erbao was already 1.45 meters tall, Daya was 1.40 meters tall, and Sanya was 1.38 meters tall.

"Children grow fast." Su Qianqian touched Sanya's head, "We'll go home first, you guys go back."

They returned home in a mighty procession.

We added another room to the brick house at home, otherwise there would not be enough space for more people to live in.

The old house has also been renovated and looks much better. Zhu Tianfang and Cheng Youmin are still reluctant to give up the old house. After all, they have lived there for so many years. Now it has been renovated and looks good, and it is still comfortable to live in.

"I'm back, I'm back." Zhu Tianfang shouted happily, "The food is ready, let's eat quickly."

"Mom and Dad, you don't have to wait for us to eat anymore."

"You've come back from so far away, what's wrong with waiting for you to eat? It's not a big deal, we won't starve." Zhu Tianfang said unhappily.

For her, even though life is better now and they are not short of money, there is no need to pamper Su Qianqian anymore. But in her eyes, Su Qianqian is her daughter-in-law and a contributor to this family, so of course she has to wait for them to come back for dinner.

"Woof woof woof!" Yuanbao barked, wagging his tail happily and came to Su Qianqian, grinning with his tongue tilted to one side.

"Yuanbao has grown so strong!" Su Qianqian touched Yuanbao's head, "He actually recognized me, that's awesome!"

Suddenly, a piece of dried meat appeared in her hand and she stuffed it into Yuanbao's mouth. Yuanbao ate it with great relish.

Now Yuanbao stands there looking majestic and guarding the house makes people feel at ease. No one dares to wander around.

After returning, the house was very lively because Grandma Chu and Grandpa Chu also brought Chu Luo here with them, mainly because it was easy for Chu He to find them in South City. Now Chu He was a little confused, and the two old people didn't want their grandson to have too much contact with him.

As for Meng Jinglan, she didn't inquire about it further because she didn't want to hear the news of her child's death.

"Captain, oh no, you should call me village chief. You said before that a primary school was being built. How is the construction going?" Su Qianqian asked.

"Aren't we here to take you there to have a look?"

Everyone followed the village chief to the site where the primary school was built. "We dug up this mountain to make room for the primary school. The framework has been completed. It will only take another month or two after the New Year. If you don't want to rush, you can wait until September 1st to start school."

"In your spare time, you can look for teachers and count the number of people attending school."

"Then don't be too anxious. Let's first get a good supply of teachers and students. Otherwise, even if the children go to school, it will be a bit chaotic and not systematic."

"I hope that the children who graduate from primary school in our village can be admitted to the junior high school in town, then to a good high school, and then go to college."

Ensuring that all children of school age can go to school can also provide more talent to the factory.

"Village head, this school must be built. Good materials must be used. No corners can be cut. I hope this school can exist for a long time."

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it!" The village chief suddenly felt full of a sense of mission.

At present, the scale of this primary school is not very large. It has one teaching building with two floors and eight classrooms. If there are 40 students in one classroom, then it can accommodate 320 students.

There is also a dormitory building with three floors. The children in the village will definitely go to school as a day student, but there may be children from neighboring villages coming to school, so a dormitory building is still needed. In addition, there will be teachers from outside, so the teachers will definitely need a place to stay.

There is also a cafeteria and a playground.

Compared with modern schools, it looks very simple, but it is quite good in that era.

Many children in the village are looking forward to this school so that they don’t have to travel so far to go to school in the future.

At this time, a child ran over.

"Director Su, I'm giving you a big red flower." The child handed over a big red flower cut out of red paper.

"Thank you, but why did you give me a big red flower?"

"Because my mother said you are our village's great benefactor!" the child said with a smile, "our village is proud to have you!"

Su Qianqian squatted down and touched her cheek, "Do you want to be as good as me?"

The girl nodded heavily.

"Then you should go to school, study hard, and help others when you are able."

"If someone bullies you, go home and tell your parents. If the other person is very powerful, tell the village chief. Tell us and the whole village will support you."

"Look, there are so many of us, and they are all very powerful, so don't be afraid of others."

The girl nodded again, "I remember it!"

Su Qianqian felt her pocket and wanted to give her some candies, but found that she didn't bring any.

Daya quickly took out the candy from Sanya's pocket and handed it to her.

"Auntie will give you some candy. You are still young, so enjoy your happy childhood."

"Thank you, Auntie." After saying that, the girl ran away happily.

"Mom, you seem to have changed the fate of many people without them realizing it." Daya said admiringly, "I want to be someone like you in the future."

Su Qianqian smiled and took a look at Tianshui Village today. It was a thriving scene, completely different from when she first arrived here.

"Daya, I hope you can be yourself and don't let me become a pressure on you. It doesn't matter if you are not like me. You are your own independent self. Of course, if you surpass me, that's okay too. In short, you should do things that make you happy, not just do things that satisfy others."

Many parents hope that their children will become their own property and grow up according to the model they set. However, Su Qianqian believes that children are independent individuals and they should not be given too many rules and regulations, but they can be guided appropriately.

After walking around the village, Su Qianqian discovered a problem. The planting rate of fields in the village was not as high as before. This was not acceptable because food was still the foundation.

"Qianqian!"

"younger sister!"

She turned around and saw her family members running towards her, looking expectant.
