Qi Mengmeng only had a high school education in modern times, and since so many years have passed, she had long since returned it to her teacher.
Although the content now is simpler than that of later generations, Qi Mengmeng couldn't help but forget it.
Qi Mengmeng was so annoyed that she wanted to grab her hair. There were so many things she couldn't do!
She was a little skeptical. Could she really pass the college entrance examination when it came?
Gu Guizhi had no way to deal with this matter. He had not learned as much as Qi Mengmeng, but he gave an idea.
"Write down the questions you don't understand on a piece of paper, and ask Mr. Jiang the next time you see him. He's a university professor, so he will definitely be able to teach you."
Qi Mengmeng's eyes lit up. Yes, just think of it as hiring a one-on-one private trainer.
Qi Mengmeng, who was secretly delighted, had no idea what kind of difficult life she would have to live in the future.
Learning is always a difficult task no matter when.
When Qi Mengmeng went to the village again, she took a physics book and copied some questions she didn't know how to solve on paper. She also prepared some paper and pens, and of course, a lot of food.
The last time she saw Grandpa Jiang, he was living in a thatched hut. She guessed that it was inconvenient for them to cook, so the food they prepared was all dry food.
She used all the meat coupons she received this month to buy meat, and made dumplings and meat sauce at home.
After receiving the allowance, almost every family bought some meat, so even if there was some fragrance coming from Qi Mengmeng's yard, it was not so obvious.
Only Li Lai Di felt strange that Qi Mengmeng spent a whole day making dumplings. She wondered if the steamer at home was too small.
By the evening, Qi Mengmeng felt like her arms were about to break from exhaustion. She made beef sauce, chicken sauce, and pork sauce, each filled five large cans. To do this, she took out the cans in the space several times. She put the cans that could not be eaten in a basin, preparing to deliver them to Grandpa Jiang together with the meat sauce tomorrow.
She steamed a total of one hundred buns, half with meat and half with eggs, and kept ten of each at home, and put the rest in the space to be sent over later.
During this period, Zhang Meiling's illness had improved a lot, but she was still not strong, so the village chief asked her to clean the cowshed and store hay for the winter.
After finishing his own work every day, Mr. Jiang would go to help Zhang Meiling with her work.
Fortunately, Qi Mengmeng brought over food, so although the two were tired, they managed to hold on.
During that time, Xiao Hao almost fainted from hunger. Grandpa Jiang even gave him an egg, and their relationship became much better.
When Qi Mengmeng went there this time, she was carrying a basket. She first looked around at the entrance of the village and then followed the path to the thatched house.
At this time, everyone was working and there was no one in the thatched hut. Qi Mengmeng was a little hesitant. She only saw Grandpa Jiang coming out of the thatched hut last time and was not sure which hut Grandpa Jiang lived in.
Qi Mengmeng stood in the distance and observed for a while before she saw Zhang Meiling walking towards her and entering a thatched hut. She immediately followed her.
It was too dark in the thatched hut, and Qi Mengmeng squinted her eyes as soon as she entered.
Zhang Meiling was looking for something at the head of the bed and didn't hear any noise. Only when Qi Mengmeng called out softly did she hear it.
"Girl, you're here?" Zhang Meiling's eyes were full of surprise.
Although there was an element of calculation at the beginning, it is a fact that Qi Mengmeng's medicine saved her. Zhang Meiling has been looking forward to Qi Mengmeng's coming so that she can say thank you properly.
"This is the food I made recently. You can keep it and eat it slowly. The weather is getting colder. I will find some cotton to make you two cotton jackets later."
Qi Mengmeng said her plan: "Or if you need anything, just tell me and I'll try to get it for you."
As Zhang Meiling listened to her, tears slowly fell from her eyes. Ever since the accident, her only daughter had only sent some money and bills and had never been seen again.
All their relatives and friends from their early years wanted to stay away from them, but this girl not only saved them when they were in the capital, but also saved them again when she came here.
"We earn our own work points now and can have enough to eat. You should come here less often in the future to avoid being seen by others." Zhang Meiling didn't want to implicate Qi Mengmeng.
Qi Mengmeng nodded quickly, then took out the things in the basket: "This is the steamed buns I made, you can heat them up in the next two days. This is jujube, red beans, millet, and rice, which are usually made into porridge. This is the egg pancake I made myself, and you should eat it as soon as possible."
"This is meat sauce. You can put a little bit of it on your porridge or dry food..."
Qi Mengmeng introduced all the things and put them in a basket that Zhang Meiling found.
"I'll come back in half a month, just in case the weather gets cold. I only brought ten eggs this time, but next time I'll bring more so they can be stored."
Zhang Meiling quickly said, "You keep the eggs for your health. We don't need to eat them."
There are plenty of eggs in Qi Mengmeng's space, of course, she can't say that.
"I'm afraid that the things you gave me can be exchanged for countless eggs." Qi Mengmeng said with a smile.
Zhang Meiling smiled bitterly, thinking Qi Mengmeng was joking.
"Not many people like those things nowadays. If you like it, I have another one here for you." Zhang Meiling went to search behind the bed.
Qi Mengmeng quickly stopped him: "I was just making an analogy. You gave me enough last time."
No matter how much she liked it, she couldn't be so greedy. The thing Zhang Meiling gave her last time would be worth a lot of money in the future.
Zhang Meiling ignored Qi Mengmeng's obstruction and went to the ground behind the bed to dig out an oil-paper bag.
Opening the oil paper package, there were several layers of cloth inside, and at the innermost part was a pair of jade bracelets.
The room was too dark, and Qi Mengmeng couldn't see the jade bracelet clearly, but the thing that Zhang Meiling had kept hidden must be very expensive.
Zhang Meiling stroked the jade bracelet and said softly, "This jade bracelet was passed down from my ancestors. I don't have a daughter either. Since you saved me, I will give this bracelet to you."
Qi Mengmeng didn't want to accept it. People said it was an heirloom from their ancestors, so what would it mean if she accepted it?
"I said I'll give it to you, otherwise I don't know who will get it." Zhang Meiling smiled and said, "If you feel embarrassed, just take care of us more in the future."
"Okay, then I'll accept it. From now on you will be my aunt." Qi Mengmeng did not refuse and simply called her aunt.
"Well, although I lost my daughter, I have a niece," Zhang Meiling wiped the tears from her eyes, "My maiden name is Zhang, and my name is Zhang Meiling."
"Then I'll call you Auntie Ling from now on." Qi Mengmeng called out again, "Auntie Ling, do you have any clothing sizes? I'll make the cotton-padded jacket and send it to you as soon as possible."
Zhang Meiling told Qi Mengmeng their sizes and urged her to leave: "Everyone in the village is working now. Be careful when you leave and you won't be seen."
Qi Mengmeng walked to the door and remembered something. She blushed and handed a piece of paper to Zhang Meiling: "Auntie Ling, I don't understand a few questions. Can you help me look at them when you are free?"
