Chapter 569 Sending Cousin to School
Yingzi's eyes twinkled: "Working in a factory, being a worker, and getting paid, this is something that rural students have to go through a lot of hardships to get. I'll be a worker, and when I retire, I'll get paid every month."
"How about this, I'll pay for you to go to school. You can join the second grade of junior high school and continue to study. You can take the college entrance examination when you are 20 years old. It is not difficult to go to college now. Your life will change when you get there."
Yingzi shook her head: "No, I can't let you pay."
This child has a very stubborn personality. The poorer the family is, the more sensitive he is. Liu Xia Lian also went through the same thing. Her pockets were cleaner than her face, but she still wanted to save face.
"The tuition is very low, only about ten yuan a semester, and the living expenses are fifty cents a day. I'll arrange for you to work during the summer vacation, so that's considered paying me back, okay?"
Yingzi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, it's a deal."
"Come on, I'll take you to school."
"Oh no! How can I go to school without my schoolbag, textbooks, stationery, and everything else?" The sky fell, and Yingzi was almost crying in anxiety.
"It's okay, borrow the textbook from someone, and I'll buy you the stationery and schoolbag. Let's go."
Liu Xia Lian called the principal of Linchang Middle School. It was a small matter, just a phone call.
In the big supply and marketing cooperative, Yingzi looked at the dazzling array of things and was a little hesitant to choose.
Liu Xia Lian comforted her: "Just pick whatever you want and buy everything at once. After all, I don't often have time to take you shopping."
"Okay, are you sure you have money on you?" Yingzi was still a little worried. In her impression, her mother or father rarely had more than five dollars on them.
Liu Xialian patted her wallet full of money and said, "Don't worry, we have money."
Yingzi chose beautiful cartoon school bags, pencil cases, ballpoint pens, fountain pens, exercise books, triangles, rulers, etc. I have never had such a pleasant shopping experience since I was a child. It feels so good.
His face was full of smiles: "Sister, I will study hard, and when I graduate and make money, I will honor you."
"Okay, let's go, the principal is waiting for us."
When Liu Xia Lian came over, the principal was standing at the door of the office.
"Xia Lian, you have to go there in person. I can't go there. Come in quickly."
"Principal Wang, I'm sorry to trouble you."
In the office, Principal Wang gave Liu Ying a math test and asked her to do it. She scored 98 out of 100.
Principal Wang shook his head: "This child has such a good foundation, there is no need for him to repeat a year. He still has several months left, so it will be no problem for him to enter high school."
Liu Xialian was also puzzled, so she asked Yingzi: "Didn't you only score over 60 points in your hometown? What's going on?"
"I don't know. Maybe the test paper here is too easy."
Principal Wang analyzed, "Nowadays, it is popular to take the technical secondary school entrance exam, and it is relatively easy to take the senior high school entrance exam. Don't waste your time in the third year of junior high school. When you are in the third year of senior high school, if you can get into a good university in the first year, go for it. If you can't get into a good university, then repeat the year. That is the right choice."
"Okay, thank you, Principal Wang."
"Don't worry, I'll put her in the top class and arrange for a teacher to pay more attention to her."
In this way, my cousin Yingzi was arranged to study in the top class of Linchang Middle School. After all, her family still had to take care of her, so she was not allowed to live in the school dormitory. Instead, they found a small single room for her in the kimchi factory dormitory and she lived there alone. That's how she settled down.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is time for spring planting in Changbai Mountain. Tens of thousands of acres of corn in Lijiatun, Mangcun and Zhangjiatun have begun to be planted one by one.
When we were planting in the first year, we still lacked experience. We planted too densely, there was insufficient fertilizer, and the maturity period was too concentrated. This year we made major adjustments.
First of all, a large amount of organic fertilizer was added when plowing the land, about 60 to 70 kilograms of potassium sulfate compound fertilizer with a concentration of 310 grams per mu.
The maturity time was also staggered, with 10,000 mu of crops sown in three time periods. The three villages sowed under the leadership of their respective village chiefs.
Early spring corn sprouts 20 centimeters before late spring corn is planted, and early summer corn is planted when late spring corn is one foot tall. County Chief Ma is a little worried about planting so many sticky corns.
County Mayor Ma came to the village in person to conduct research and quietly found Village Chief Li.
"Three villages, 10,000 mu of glutinous corn, are you sure it was Liu Xialian who asked you to plant it?"
"Yes, the farmers registered in our three villages are in the mandatory harvest area, which means that 100% of what they grow will be harvested. Several villages nearby have planted about 10,000 acres of crops, and they planted them voluntarily. In other words, if the factory has such a large market, it will harvest, and if not, it will not harvest."
Magistrate Ma wiped the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief and said, "These villages are really brave."
"They are not bold, they just want to make more money, because the grain depot also buys sticky corn at a price two cents higher. That means if the kimchi factory doesn't buy it, they can still make ends meet by selling dry corn."
County Magistrate Ma was relieved. "Okay, that's great. I feel relieved now that I have a guarantee. By the way, has Liu Xialian's dairy farm been established?"
"It's been built, and the cows are in place. There are 50 large black and white dairy cows, all in their productive period, producing 40 to 50 kilograms of milk a day, which is amazing."
"Why didn't she call me? Mr. Tian from the dairy company was supposed to come and call me."
Village chief Li was speechless. He thought, "I have to go to Liu Xia Lian for this matter. How would I know about these things?"
"Liu Xialian should be planting long beans in the village today, so you can go and ask her."
County Magistrate Ma nodded: "Okay, I'll go ask and see what the situation is. You said you'd call me."
As the months went by, Liu Xia Lian's belly grew bigger. Although everything was normal, having a big belly was very troublesome and inconvenient, so she completely stopped going into the mountains during this period.
Li Daniu, Daya and Erya occasionally went into the mountains to hunt and dig for herbs, but Liu Xia Lian could not go.
Today, a big farmer in the village was planting beans, and Liu Xia Lian came over to give technical guidance. In fact, she just took a look at the edge of the field and commented on any inappropriate places.
The long beans have a good harvest. The sour beans are sweet and sour and delicious, and sales are very good. Therefore, we need to produce a large amount of grain this year and plant more. The amount reported by Lijiatun alone is as much as 1,300 acres.
County Magistrate Ma came over without warning, startling Liu Xia Lian: "Xia Lian, the guy delivering the cows is here, why didn't you call me?"
"County Magistrate Ma, the person who sent the dairy cows has come, but Mr. Tian has not come. Only a technician came and left after three days of instruction. I have already told her to come and open the factory, and she said she would consider it and come to inspect when she is not busy."
"I see. I thought she was here and you didn't call me."
"How is that possible? Can I do that kid thing?"
"By the way, are your cows adapting here? It's cold in winter here. Do they need special protection?"
"My dairy cows can definitely adapt. Adult cows don't need special protection. A cowshed or an old house will do. But if they give birth to calves in the winter, they must have a heated bed, otherwise the calves will freeze to death."
