Chapter 417 Sending Military Dogs 4
After hearing Hu Zi say that there would be a school in the village next year and that they would also have books to read, the little friends all raised their heads in unison, like proud peacocks raising their heads and spreading their feathers.
"Yes, we will have books to read next year too."
"The team leader said that the children in our village don't have to pay tuition to go to school."
"The captain also said that there will be a financial reward for those who do well in the exam."
"The team leader also said that when the teacher takes us to work, he will reward us with an egg each."
"That's nothing. I heard from my father that the team leader said at a meeting that when we make money from raising chickens, we will give an egg to the children who are studying as breakfast every morning."
"Wow, really? Then I need to study."
"Brother Huzi, are there any of us who don't study?" a little girl asked timidly.
Hu Zi felt even more proud when he saw that everyone was surprised by his words and looked at him with admiration.
"Of course not, if you don't study, you're stupid, why don't you study?" Hu Zi glanced at the girl.
"It's not that I don't want to study, it's my grandma who doesn't allow me to study. She said I'm a money-loser and not worthy of studying." After the little girl said this, she looked around, as if she was afraid of being heard by someone.
"What? Your grandma said that," Hu Zi stood up and shouted with great momentum. He looked very confident, but lacked the presence.
"Yes, so I definitely have no books to read and no eggs to eat. Woo woo, I want to eat eggs." The little girl said this and started crying softly.
"Don't cry." Hu Zi roared impatiently. The little girl was so scared that she kept quiet and didn't dare to cry anymore.
When Hu Zi saw that the little girl had stopped crying, he walked a few steps under the tree. The other children looked at Hu Zi walking around there anxiously and didn't dare to say anything.
Haojun now understood that this child was the leader of this group of children.
He heard a lot of incredible things from Hu Zi. For a village, setting up a school is nothing. Some villages have their own money and will apply to set up a school in the village to facilitate their children to study. However, the tuition fee is higher than that of the children in the village. We can also recruit children from other villages who don’t have schools to study.
Didn’t the commune say that this was the poorest brigade in the entire commune? How do you have the money to run a school? And the eggs they mentioned seemed to have a lot of them, one for each child, for breakfast. There are at least a dozen or twenty children in a village. If there is one every day, how many eggs will that require?
Haojun was still thinking about the news that the children had inadvertently revealed. Huzi suddenly stopped walking, stood in front of the little girl and said loudly, "Pandi, wait until Sister-in-law Yike comes back, I will take you to find her. Sister-in-law Yike said that girls are not money-losing goods, and girls can also hold up half the sky. She will definitely find a way to let you study, so don't be afraid, you will have eggs to eat when the time comes."
"Yes, sister-in-law Yi Ke may have done it. She taught my mother to raise chickens using scientific methods. My brothers and I can eat an egg every few days. If mother didn't want to exchange eggs for food, I could eat eggs every day."
The other children all drooled when they heard this. Even Hu Zi looked at the child with envy and said, "Hey, Xiao Shitou, can you exchange your egg with me? Just one, okay?"
Little Stone looked at Hu Zi, thought for a while and said, "Do you want to exchange eggs? Tomorrow it will be my turn to eat one. I will give it to you tomorrow. No need to exchange. You only have one hen in your family."
"No, that won't work. I heard that your eggs are delicious, so I wanted to try some." Hu Zi looked like he would not take advantage of Xiao Shitou.
Haojun was shocked again. From the words of Huzi and Xiao Shitou, he heard the name of a woman named Yike. He also heard several points from the children's words: first, Yike is a woman who does not favor boys over girls; second, Yike is very powerful; third, Yike is very cultured. The scientific method of raising chickens that Xiao Shitou mentioned should be a scientific method of raising chickens.
Haojun found that this village was becoming more and more mysterious. In the eyes of the commune cadres, the poorest brigade could have enough food to work in winter, and could eat precious eggs at will. The brigade leader's family had meat for the dog, and there was also a woman who knew how to raise chickens scientifically...
He decided to ask the team leader in the evening whether their team had a chicken farm, otherwise where would the eggs come from to reward the children. He mainly wanted to ask about the scientific method of raising chickens that the child mentioned.
Yike didn't know that before she even got home, the children in the village were already taking off her vest. She and Ziyi had already arrived at their courtyard house in the county. They planned to rest for a night and drive home by themselves tomorrow. Guard Xiao Wu sent them to the county town and then returned. Yi Ke reminded him not to drive at night and bought some food and put it in the car so that he didn't have to find a restaurant to eat.
In Beishan Village, Haojun learned that the powerful woman named Yike was the wife of Li Ziyi who adopted the military dog under the condition that he allowed the children to touch the military dog. He became even more curious about what kind of woman she was. Not only does she let men pamper her, but because she likes dogs, the man bought her three military dogs. The elderly in her family don't object, and the children outside also like her very much.
In the evening, he was shocked again at the dinner table. On the table was a plate of bacon. The meat was rabbit meat. It might be that the captain had hunted and then cured it and stored it to serve guests. So he was not surprised by this. What surprised him was that the bowl in his hand contained dry rice, sweet potato and rice dry rice.
He knew how scarce food was in recent years, but this family could afford to eat white rice. When others could not even get enough porridge with whole grains, this family had rice, meat, vegetables, and a pot of bone and mushroom soup.
This meal was cooked by Zhang Yuling to entertain Haojun. She thought this soldier was Ziyi's friend, so she cooked such a meal. This kind of meal is a commonplace in Taoyuan Village, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
When Li Haoran came back, dinner was already ready. He had to secretly scold his wife, and then said at the dinner table that he had taken out the best things in the house to treat him and thank him for sending the military dog from far away.
Haojun finally felt relieved. He was also grateful to the family for treating him with such good things. He thought to himself that he should leave some money and food coupons for the family when he left, as he couldn't eat other people's good things for free.
Ziyi and Yike returned to Beishan Village in the evening of the next day. They drove a jeep back to the village, which made the children very happy.
Ziyi parked the car in front of his house and saw three big dogs in the yard. Haojun heard the sound of a car in the house and came out to see what was going on. Then he saw a man and a woman getting out of the car. He guessed that they should be the owners of the military dog - Li Ziyi and Yike.
"Brother Ziyi, sister-in-law Yike."
"Brother Ziyi, sister-in-law Yike."
"Brother Ziyi, sister-in-law Yike."
"Brother Ziyi, sister-in-law Yike."
The children surrounded the two of them and shouted. Ziyi went to take the things out of the car, and Yike took out some candies and distributed them to the children. The children happily took the candies and went home...
