Old man Li said, "You don't know that your father and I didn't have the opportunity to go to school. If you can go to school, you must study hard. Look at all the children in our village, but few of them go to school."
The big girl said obediently: "Grandpa, we know."
There was a little girl in the school who always came to school on time every day. She wore tattered shoes and tattered clothes. Her family was not rich.
She and her grandfather depend on each other for survival, but her grandfather still insists on letting her go to school.
She never goes out to play during recess, she always studies on the table.
The big girls and the others admired her very much and took the initiative to talk to her.
And invite them to come home and play during the slack season.
Xiangdong said, "We will go to junior high school and high school."
When talking about this, Old Man Li became a little worried.
There are only junior high schools in towns, and only high schools in counties.
If they were asked to walk back and forth from here to the county town or town to go to school, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to bear it.
Seeing his serious expression, Old Lady Li asked, "What's wrong?"
"What do you think the older girls will do when they go to middle school and high school?"
"What to do?"
"It's so far from home, it's impossible to go back and forth three or four times a day."
"Just bring your own lunch. Besides, you're only in first grade and you're already thinking about going to middle school and high school. It'll be several years before you graduate from elementary school."
Old man Li thought about it and realized that it was a bit too early to worry.
New house.
Li Mingqing said, "I'm off duty tomorrow, so I'll take you for a stroll in the provincial capital."
"Okay, I haven't been to the provincial capital yet."
"Then I'll take you to the capital. I've bought a courtyard house there, and we'll move there once we're settled."
Sun Jiaxue lost her composure after hearing this.
Bought a house in the capital!
Houses in the capital are definitely not cheap.
"I bought it last time I went to the capital. I'll take you to see it when I have time."
Sun Jiaxue was still in shock.
She couldn't even imagine the legendary capital, but her family actually had a house in the capital.
Seeing that she was stunned and didn't say anything, Li Mingqing thought she was angry.
"I didn't mean to hide it from you."
She smiled and said, "I'm not angry, I just can't believe it."
"It's good that you're not angry. You should be less angry when you're pregnant and you shouldn't do heavy work."
"I know. I'm the only idle person in the village."
"You are not an idler. You are responsible for the cooking and cleaning of the house."
Li Mingqing took out two big unity cards and placed them on the table.
"Some of the money from last time was taken away. Take this twenty dollars."
"I still have more than twenty, I don't want any more."
No matter what she said, she would not take it. The twenty yuan that was taken away from her last time was enough to make her regret. She didn't want to give the money away to others, so it was safest to keep it with Li Mingqing.
"Okay, if you run out of money, tell me."
"But I don't have many opportunities to spend money at home. Even if I do, it's only a few dollars. The twenty or so dollars I have on me are what she spends in a year, and she may not even spend it all in a year."
In the village, the financial power is usually controlled by the elders in the family.
It is absolutely impossible for a daughter-in-law to have money.
At around four or five in the afternoon, when the sun was setting, Sun Jiaxue and Da Niu went to the fields to pick peanuts.
Just then a peddler came by.
They sell malt sugar and tofu.
When the children in the village heard the hawking sounds, they rushed over and surrounded the peddler.
Sun Jiaxue was pulled over to the south.
Several children were drooling with envy, but they could only watch as they had no money to buy.
Zhang Cuihua came over arrogantly and asked, "What are you selling?"
The peddler said, "Maltose, tofu cubes."
“How much is tofu?”
"One dime a piece."
"One dime! Why don't you go and rob someone for money?"
Xiangnan was drooling as he looked at the malt sugar, he was so greedy.
The children's attention is all attracted by the candy in the basket in front of them, and they generally have no interest in tofu.
Old Lady Li came over and said, "Give me two pieces of tofu."
The peddler happily cut two pieces and put them in the bag.
Seeing that the tofu was white and tender, Sun Jiaxue asked for a piece.
Old Lady Li hurriedly said, "Jiaxue, I bought two pieces, enough for our family."
"Mom, one chopstick per person is gone, I'll buy another one."
Zhang Cuihua was so angry that she said, "It seems your family is capable."
"What's wrong with you? We just bought two pieces of tofu. You bought them because you were greedy. Why are you criticizing us?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Cuihua became even angrier.
But he didn't get angry in front of so many people.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to buy it, but she doesn’t have much money.
I still have two bowls of soybeans at home, so I can grind some tofu when I have free time.
Sun Jiaxue bought one piece of malt sugar and one piece of milk for each of the children.
The eldest girl hurriedly said, "Aunt, just buy it for my brothers and sisters. I don't want any."
"It's okay, my aunt has brought enough money."
Erniu and Sanniu said, "Aunt, we have money."
The two sisters each took out five cents from their pockets.
This money was given by Li Lizhu the day before yesterday. Li Mingyuan paid his salary that day and gave the two sisters some pocket money.
The other children in the village were extremely envious of the money in their hands.
Normally you won’t see a penny.
Xiangnan said, "No, I'll have to ask my mother for some money when I get home tonight, but she definitely won't agree."
