Yu Lamei bowed to the captain and several elders who helped her separate her family, and thanked them one by one. Finally, she bowed in front of Tang Niannian. She whispered: "Thank you, sister Niannian!"
She knew very well that if Tang Niannian had not come forward today, it would not be so easy for her and her brother to separate.
I hope she will have the opportunity to repay Sister Niannian in the future!
Tang Niannian twitched the corner of her mouth and walked away coldly. When passing by Mrs. Tang, she said, "Mistress, I want to eat vegetable glutinous rice balls!"
After doing so many things all morning, she was starving to death.
"It will be done in a moment. Manshan, you all come to my house to eat, including wintersweet, pine and cypress!"
Mrs. Tang invited the captain and the others, as well as sister and brother Yu Lamei. The two children only received one bag of rations, and they didn't even have oil or vegetables at home.
The old lady dragged the siblings home and glared at He Guixiang. From now on, she would have to fight this vicious woman every day, huh!
The vegetable glutinous rice balls were not troublesome to make. They used 30% glutinous rice flour, 70% rice flour and dough. Tang Mantong was very strong and it didn't take long to make the dough. The woman started kneading it.
Tang Niannian sat by the brazier, so warm that he yawned several times and burst into tears.
"Uncle San, our village needs to set up a scholarship fund!"
Tang Niannian yawned and said, but the captain didn't understand, "What is a scholarship fund?"
"For children in the village who cannot afford to go to school, the village provides tuition fees. The tuition fees are considered a loan, and bank interest must be calculated. When the children grow up, they can earn money and return it to the village!"
Tang Niannian was talking about student loans for future generations. She didn't want to give them in vain. Things she got for free could easily be looked down upon.
"That's a lot of money, right?" The captain was a little confused.
He was afraid that the village would not be able to afford it.
"I will pay this money. In the name of the village, you have to sign a document. If you borrow the money, you must study hard. If you are idle, the money will not be borrowed." Tang Niannian yawned again.
Nowadays, tuition fees are cheap, only one or two yuan a semester. Not all children in the village can afford to go to school, in fact, not many.
The team leader disagreed and felt that Tang Niannian was too wronged. "Let's do it in the village. The two factories have made a lot of money!"
"Then I'll pay half, and the village will pay half. Once this is done, reporters will definitely put it on TV to promote it, and our Tangcun will definitely be famous far and wide!" Tang Niannian drew another big picture.
The captain and the others immediately felt like they had been given a shot of chicken blood, and they couldn't wait to set up this student fund now.
Yu Lamei's eyes are as bright as diamonds. Can she also borrow money?
She really wanted to go to school, because only by going to school could she get out of Tangcun and see a wider world.
Tang Niannian saw her thoughts and nodded slightly.
Yu Lamei was ecstatic, tears welled up in her eyes again, and she secretly vowed to study hard and repay Sister Niannian when she becomes successful in the future.
After the glutinous rice balls were rolled, Mrs. Tang cut a large piece of bacon into thin shreds, stir-fried the oil first, then added the vegetables and water to boil, then added the glutinous rice balls, and waited for the glutinous rice balls to float. Ripe.
She cooked a large pot full, and the aroma wafted out, making everyone's mouth water.
Mrs. Tang filled a large bowl by herself and said, "When you're done eating, go and fill it up in the pot yourself. You'll be full!"
"Second Aunt put more meat in this dish than vegetables, it's so delicious!" someone joked.
“This is the most delicious gnocchi I have ever tasted!”
Everyone was full of praise, and one person couldn't help but say: "Xuan Landlord has never eaten so well before!"
The captain's face suddenly darkened, he glared at the man fiercely, and cursed: "I can't even stop your mouth with delicious food!"
The man also realized that he had made a mistake. How could he mention Xuan Landlord in front of the captain? Everyone in the village knew that Tang Hongxing liked Xuan Landlord's son, and there was a lot of trouble at home.
"It's so mean to hit me in the mouth!"
The man who spoke smacked his mouth and did not dare to say anything anymore.
The captain was originally in a good mood, but now the delicious glutinous rice balls in the bowl made him unhappy.
Hongxing, the white-eyed wolf, has been stable for a few months. Recently, I heard that that stinky boy Xuan Chunrong is eyeing someone, and he has started to make trouble again. This white-eyed wolf girl doesn't cry, she just looks at her dead face every day, and looks at her while eating. He lost his appetite when he saw this face.
The captain was really heartbroken. Sometimes he even thought that Nian Yatou would have drowned if he hadn't saved the white-eyed wolf that night.
But this is just a thought, no matter how heart-wrenching she is, she is still his daughter, how can she be so cruel!
The captain sighed softly, and there was no taste in his mouth.
"My wife said that Xuan Chunrong found a job in the city and did quite well. The leader liked him very much and introduced him to a partner!" someone whispered.
His wife's natal family is in the same village as Landlord Xuan.
The others looked at the captain and saw that he was not angry, so they became bolder and mentioned Xuan Chunrong openly.
"Xuan Chunrong is well-educated, handsome, and has a carpentry skill. He also works hard and studies hard. If it weren't for the hat on his head, he would be a pretty good young man!"
"Hongxing has good eyesight. Apart from that, Xuan Chunrong is one of the best young people in the world!"
The captain's face darkened, and he said angrily: "That ingredient is the biggest black point. My family is still in the army!"
Everyone was silent. This is indeed the truth. The political review process in the army is extremely strict, and there cannot be any compositional issues.
"Xuan Chunrong is seeing someone, isn't he? Maybe he will make an appointment before the year. When he gets married, Hongxing will give up." Someone comforted.
The captain didn't say anything. He always felt that the white-eyed wolf would not give up so easily.
well!
The captain was very worried. In the past, there was Tang Wujin for comparison. Every time he was angry with the wolf-eyed wolf, he would think about Tang Wujin and feel comforted. Now that Tang Wujin is gone, he is looked down upon every day. Wolf spirit, no comfort at all.
What evil has he done!
A big pot of vegetable and salty meat glutinous rice balls was eaten by everyone, not even the soup was left. The Yu Lamei siblings also said goodbye and went home. Mrs. Tang gave them a piece of meat weighing a pound, and there were about ten more Eggs, a few old thick clothes, a quilt, and asked Tang Mantong to send his siblings home.
"Second Grandma, there are too many, I can't accept them!"
Yu Lamei was a little panicked. She couldn't afford to pay back so many things.
"Keep it and pay it back later when you are successful!"
Mrs. Tang couldn't tolerate any further explanation, so she pushed the two siblings out.
"Thank you, Second Grandma!"
Yu Lamei dragged her brother, bowed deeply, and strode away.
No matter how much she says, it's all nonsense. She must be successful and repay the good people who have helped her!
"Second uncle, you said you were going to buy a thousand pieces!" Tang Niannian urged. Tang Manyin said in the morning that he would go to town and buy a thousand pieces.
"Why are you in a hurry? It's still early. We'll be there soon!"
Tang Manyin had just eaten and was too lazy to move. He wanted to wait until the snow stopped before going out.
"Dad, go quickly and buy some more chicken cakes. I haven't eaten them for a long time." Tang Dandan was also greedy and pushed her father out.
Tang Manyin had no choice but to go to the yard to push the cart.
The loudspeaker rang: "Nian Yatou, phone!"
