The Xia family moved very quickly, or in other words, most people in the seventh house of Xiajiawan were not willing to miss this good thing.
Of course, there are people who are unhappy.
The daughter of the family is already thirteen or fourteen years old, an age where she can go to work in the fields to earn work points or take on all the housework at home. Before, it could be said that the family had no money for not allowing her to continue her education. What excuse should be used now?
There are smart girls who say out loud that they will come back quickly after school to do household chores before their elders say anything.
There are also girls who are more courageous and go directly to their uncles. Taking the opportunity of asking him if they can continue studying, they reveal the things that their parents want them to do at home.
But in the seventh house of Xiajiawan, there really wasn't anyone who dared to confront Grandpa.
At most, these people would privately scold Xia Qingmai for being nosy, but once these people's scolding words were heard by other people who sincerely thanked Xia Qingmai, they would be reported to the uncle.
He will be seventy-three next year, and the grandfather, who was worried by his family that he would not be able to make it through, seemed to have been given a new lease of life.
In his own words, 'I won't be able to close my eyes if I don't live another ten years to see these children have a bright future. '
With the support of his grandfather and his two sons who work in the town and eat public meals, who in Xiajiawan would dare to go against him?
In the end, because Xia Qingmai had already expressed to the grandpa that someone from Xiajiawan would supervise and arrange this matter, the grandpa directly arranged for his eldest grandson to come over.
In the seventh house, there is one person at the head of each house. Every month, Xia Qingmai's fourth uncle does the accounting and calculates the money spent this month.
As the grandfather who holds a sum of money and is in charge of most things in Xiajiawan, he even proposed that the clan would spend a sum of money to put fry in several fish ponds near Xiajiawan. Money begets money, and Xia Hongbing's money together supports the whole family's children who are studying.
The eldest grandfather had status and connections. He just asked his second grandson to go to the town, and several fish ponds in Xiajiawan became the site for cooperation with state-owned units.
Over the years, many educated youths have come to Xiajiawan to support farming. Some of them were smart. They immediately took out their own farming books, found the page about several types of vegetables that could be grown by the lake, and entered the grandfather's house.
There are also those who are quick-thinking, thinking about whether the Xia family wants to show their favor to the young man or girl. Will the newly established Xiajiawan Fishing Farm want to recruit people?
Because of something Xia Qingmai brought up, the whole Xiajiawan became lively.
Although Xia Qingmai's fourth uncle, Xia Hongqiang, had long known that his second brother had left a lot of money, he didn't know how much money his second niece had given up until he actually became the accountant appointed by his uncle.
Xia Hongqiang was originally unwilling to do the work. His youngest son originally had a one-third chance of getting half of the money, but now he was asked to watch the money being used for other purposes.
But who told him to have two extremely annoying daughters?
Although Xia Hongqiang also favors sons over daughters and feels that the family should be handed over to his sons in the future, he also loves his daughter.
Especially when his daughters are twins. The younger two are identical, wearing braids and sweetly calling him daddy. How can he not be confused?
Xia Hongqiang gradually lost herself in the voice of her daughter who said that they would be successful in their future and would definitely buy wine to honor him during the holidays.
By the time he came to his senses, he had already agreed to his daughter's request for them to continue studying. Even when his daughter-in-law glared at her, he had a rare hard time.
As for Xia Qingmai's third uncle, Xia Hongmin, he saw that his two daughters from his fourth brother's family have gone to continue their studies, so naturally one of his own daughters will also go!
In the other rooms, except for the second room, which was owned by Xia Honglin, who was not biased, the other rooms were also viewed one by one, and they agreed to the fact that their daughter, who was still studying, continued her studies.
Of course, there are also families whose family conditions are not so good that they cannot even support their sons’ education.
When they heard the good news, the family hugged each other and cried for a while, and then began to think about what to give Xia Qingmai as a thank you gift.
Although scholars in the city are now moving to the countryside, as long as the two uncles of the family who have studied in the family can work in the town government, the father who has never studied in the family can only farm at home, and the uncle who is a soldier can Brothers, those who have read books are more likely to be promoted, and they will not stop reading.
Now, they can finally study without worrying about having no rice at home because of their studies.
Because Sister Qingmai said, if you study well, you will get a scholarship!
…
Returning home in the evening, Sun Fugui looked at Xia Qingmai, who was making dough and preparing to paste pancakes, and said, "Daughter-in-law, did you guess that this would happen?"
"You mean the people who benefit more from this matter are girls?"
As soon as Xia Qingmai said these words, Sun Fugui nodded sharply.
Seeing Sun Fugui nodding, Xia Qingmai sighed: "On the day of the wedding, I heard He Miao talk about it and found out that she was admitted to high school this year, but her third uncle and third aunt didn't let her go. As a result, the fourth aunt didn't care when she saw it. This idea came to me when I was still in junior high school."
"There are not many families in Xiajiawan who are not in good condition, but many people still let their daughters go home to work after they finish elementary school."
"To put it bluntly, they all think that their daughter will marry someone other than her own family when she grows up."
"Since they are not their own family, they naturally will not pay more for these girls."
"Just like me, two years ago, my parents didn't want me to go to high school. If it weren't for the fact that most girls in the county have gone to junior high school, they probably wouldn't even want to send me to junior high school."
"Now that I have allocated this money on my own initiative, the children in Xiajiawan can continue to study with peace of mind."
Having said this, Xia Qingmai paused and continued: "Of course, I can give up this money in exchange for some peace and quiet."
"When my great grandfather changes the family tree, I will be my second uncle's daughter."
As soon as Sun Fugui heard his wife's words, he knew that she was referring to the Xia family in the cement factory.
Thinking of them, Sun Fugui also asked directly, "I have to leave the car early the day after tomorrow. What if you...um...if your parents, the parents of the cement factory, come to see you when I'm not at home?" , just ask Sister-in-law Hu next door to call someone from the team."
Seeing the worry in Sun Fugui's tone, Xia Qingmai also nodded seriously and said: "Although I don't think they will come based on my understanding of them, since you said it, I will do it."
Xia Qingmai felt that her parents would not come to her at this time because of their understanding of them.
The couple had been worried that their third and fourth uncles would covet the job they had obtained in exchange for a child and their second uncle.
This time she refused to adopt another younger brother, thus saving their jobs at home.
They might come to her if something happens in the future, but they definitely won't come now.
They would be afraid that something might happen to her adoption, which would affect the family's work.
Xia Qingmai was very confident about this matter.
But when the family finished eating the fish dumplings and were about to go to bed amidst the sporadic autumn rain, there was a sudden shout from outside the house.
