Chapter 200: Two Hundred and Eight (2)
Are we taking the college entrance examination here? ”
Qianqian thought for a moment and said, "That's not bad. The high school in our village is really good. I've done their test paper... and I didn't pass."
Taotao laughed out loud.
Qianqian is an adopted daughter after all, unlike Feifei and Momo, who inherited Song Zhi’s academic genius genes. She is just an ordinary girl with average grades. In the early days of adopting her, Taotao spent a lot of effort to teach her to read and write. But after seeing that the child really had no talent for studying, Taotao began to let him do what he wanted.
However, even if you let your child do what he wants, his performance still needs to be able to keep up with the work.
So Qianqian studied very hard at her mother's request, but her best result was in the top ten in the class, and most of the time her grades were in the middle and lower reaches. When she was in high school, Taotao spent a lot of money to send her to a private high school with an excellent reputation, and gave her a strict order: she must be admitted to university, and if not, a junior college would be fine.
In this way, Qianqian lived a happy high school life.
This private high school charges high tuition, has good teachers, and the students who come here all want to get into a good university. Qianqian did not have the pressure of going to college, and was infected by her classmates who loved to study... For the entire two semesters of her first year in high school, Qianqian was not at the bottom of the class!
This gave Qianqian a huge boost of confidence, and she even decided to give it a try!
What if I get into a good school?
Bai Xiamei asked: "Are many people working outside now returning to their hometowns? Aunt, it's the same in our hometown..."
Taotao feels the same way.
——Ten years ago, the strong laborers in the village left their hometown and went to coastal cities to work. In a village of more than a thousand people, there are no more than a hundred able-bodied laborers left behind.
Fortunately, Jiang Hongzhi and Lan Caizhu listened to Taotao's opinions and built a school, a kindergarten, and an elderly care center for the village...
Sure enough, a few years later, the villagers who had gone out came back with their wives. They got married outside, left their children in the village to be taken care of by the elderly, and went out to work again. The kindergarten in the village relieves the left-behind elderly from the pressure of taking care of children. At the same time, these "old people" are actually not old. They are all in their forties or fifties and have good physical strength.
There are kindergartens and schools in the village to help take care of and educate the children, so the villagers focus most of their energy on working and earning money.
This creates a virtuous cycle.
A few years later, the strong laborers who went out to work found that their children were well-behaved and obedient in school, and their parents also worked in the village, earning less than them but spending less than them...
Slowly, the villagers returned one after another.
In the past few years, 40% to 50% of the people who went out to work have returned. Most of those who did not come back had made it to the top of the pyramid or had married and moved to other provinces or cities.
Taotao agreed with Bai Xiamei's words and nodded.
Xiao Qingjuan also said, "Yes! My Qiao Niu and Qin Liang also said that they can earn 6,000 to 7,000 yuan a month by working outside! But after deducting rent, food, Changchang's tuition and expenses... there is nothing left in a month. It's better to come home!"
"My pretty girl has a college degree and has submitted her resume to the import and export company in the village. She was selected! She works here, but not as much as outside... She gets 2,500 yuan in Ningcheng, and food and accommodation are not included. But in our village, she can get 1,500 yuan in salary, but she doesn't have to spend much on food and accommodation!"
"And Qin Liang, he was running business in Ningcheng, working himself to death but only making 4,000 yuan. Now he's back to his hometown, planning to open a logistics center and be his own boss! Isn't that great!" Xiao Qingjuan became happier the more she spoke, her eyes narrowed into slits.
Taotao was all smiles when she heard them talk about the good things in the village.
Yes, life is getting better and better nowadays!
