Chapter 371 Striving to become the first female college student in our village
After putting away the luggage, Liu Zhi took Huang Zhiqiu's hand, "Zhiqiu, tell me the truth, did Qingning encounter something in the factory?"
If you come back from vacation, you will never bring home the washbasin and quilt.
Huang Zhiqiu pulled Liu Zhi to sit on the bed, "Sister-in-law, there is something wrong, but don't worry, it's not a bad thing."
Huang Zhiqiu told Liu Zhi everything about his plan to let Huang Qingning go back to school.
Liu Zhi didn't make a sound for a while after listening, but it can be seen from his expression that he is happy for his daughter to study.
"Zhiqiu, thank you and Momo, I really don't know how to thank you..."
"Sister-in-law, the whole family doesn't talk about two families, but if you want to talk about it, Qingning's failure to study is also caused by me, so I feel ashamed of you and elder brother..."
The sister-in-law and sister-in-law talked for a long time in the room, until Huang Qingning ran up and called them down to drink sweet wine soup.
Sweet wine soup is also called glutinous glutinous rice soup. It is a small dumpling made of glutinous rice flour. It is boiled with sweet wine and eggs, and some sugar is added at the end.
The sweet wine soup that has just been cooked is fragrant, sweet and delicious. It is served with soft glutinous rice dumplings and soft-boiled poached eggs. Drinking such a bowl in winter is simply a world of deliciousness and enjoyment.
Taking advantage of the sweet wine soup, Huang Zhiqiu briefly talked about going to the city to look at the factory buildings and renting land in the past few days.
Hearing that Huang Zhiqiu had already rented the factory, everyone seemed very happy.
Huang Kailin looked at the door, "I originally said that when you come back, I will build the door of the house first. The business of setting up a factory is more important. Boss, you and I will go to the brick cellar factory and pull the remaining bricks in a while." Come back, let’s go to the city together tomorrow to clean up the factory.”
Huang Zhiqiu hurriedly persuaded: "Dad, this matter is not urgent. The school is very big. The playground alone has two or three acres of land and more than a dozen rooms. You and your eldest brother will not be able to get all of them until the New Year.
I have already thought about it on the way back. Let’s make the total first. We need to make materials and tools, and then find a good manpower in advance. When Momo comes back, we will work together and try to get it done before the Chinese New Year. "
"Momo is coming back? Did you say when?"
"The train on the 22nd will arrive in Anshi in the morning on the 24th."
Huang Kailin immediately said: "All right, boss, Zhiqiu, you guys go to the city to pick it up."
After finishing speaking, he added: "I'll go with you."
Huang Zhiqiu smiled, "Dad, you don't need to go to so many people, I just go."
Huang Qingning couldn't help interjecting, "Auntie, I'll go with you. If my cousin and the others bring a lot of things, I can help carry some."
Huang Zhiqiu thought about it, and agreed to bring his niece along.
It was the first time I met my son-in-law, and she was inexperienced. My niece was lively, so I could liven up the atmosphere when I went with her.

In order to welcome his granddaughter and grandson-in-law decently, Huang Kailin called the famous mason in the village to come and build the door early the next morning.
With the help of Huang Jianjun, the foundation of the gate was dug in one morning. In the afternoon, I went to the stone factory to pull some bluestone strips back, mixed with cement ash to fill the foundation, and built the door frame and roof tomorrow. Pick a good day and auspicious day to install the gate and you're done.
The Huang family father and son were busy repairing the gate at home, and Huang Zhiqiu was not idle either. After dinner, he took his niece Huang Qingning to Huang Yu's house in the same village.
Huang Yu is the same age as Huang Wen, and is a senior in the town high school.
Huang Yu lived on campus, and only went home at the end of each month, so he was not at home.
Seeing Huang Zhiqiu and Huang Qingning come to the door, Huang Yu's mother brought out a pile of books tied with woolen rope.
"Is this it? Xiaoyu told me when she left that you wanted to borrow her freshman textbook."
Huang Yu's mother is illiterate and illiterate, so she doesn't know whether the book in her hand is the book Huang Zhiqiu wants.
Huang Zhiqiu took the book and nodded happily, "That's it, Third Sister Liu, please, my Qingning will borrow it for a month, and I'll return it to you when it's used up."
After finishing speaking, he handed the candy he had brought to the other party, "This is some fruit candy, for Huang Yu."
"Oh, why are you all so polite in the same village?"
"It should be, it's not worth a few dollars, it's just a little thought."
After a while of refusal, Huang Yu's mother took the things over, "That's fine, I'll accept it, thank you?"
"It's Qingning and I who should thank your Huang Yu."
Sanjie Liu looked at Huang Qingning who was beside Huang Zhiqiu, "Oh, what a pity for your family Qingning."
Huang Zhiqiu patted Huang Qingning's head, "Our family plans to let Qingning continue to study, so I came to Huang Yu to borrow the textbooks for the first year of high school, so that Qingning can review at home."
"Oh, that's a good thing, Qingning, you have to work harder and strive to become the first female college student in our village!"
Huang Qingning replied sweetly: "Third Aunt, Sister Huang Yu will definitely be admitted to university."
Liu Sanjie waved her hand, "My family's Huang Yu's grades will not pass the exam, and she doesn't want to take the exam herself. She will go to the city to work after graduation next year."
The two families were not very familiar, so Huang Zhiqiu chatted briefly and dragged Huang Qingning away.
On the way home, Huang Zhiqiu couldn't help being concerned when he saw Huang Qingning looking downcast, "Qingning, what's wrong?"
Huang Qingning sighed, "Auntie, I was quite confident before, thinking that I would definitely be able to pass the college entrance examination, but when I heard Aunt Liu said that Sister Huang Yu didn't even take the college entrance examination, I suddenly lost my confidence.
In junior high school, Sister Huang Yu's grades were also quite good, and she often ranked first in the class. I didn't expect my grades to drop so badly in high school. "
Huang Zhiqiu patted her on the shoulder comfortingly, "Don't think too much, as long as you work hard, your grades won't be too bad, even if you don't get into college, it's good to get into a technical secondary school.
Take a step back, even if you don’t get into a technical secondary school, it’s still better to graduate from high school, what do you think? "
After receiving such comfort, Huang Qingning regained her confidence.
"Auntie, I will work hard, I must be admitted to university!"
Back home, Huang Qingning went into the room to study with the book in his arms.
Seeing her daughter so self-conscious, Liu Zhi couldn't help showing some relief and a smile on her face.
Seeing that the eldest daughter-in-law is in a good mood, Yang Xinghua is also indescribably happy.
These days, it can be regarded as a rush.
—
In the afternoon, people from the lumber factory delivered the two doors that Huang Kailin ordered.
The top-quality pine door panels are 5 cm thick, thick, durable and cheap.
"Dad, I think this door still needs some paint to look good, and the paint can also prevent insects."
Huang Kailin felt that what the boss said was reasonable, so he asked him to go to the town early tomorrow morning to buy two catties of paint and come back.
"Dad, what color paint to buy?"
This stopped Huang Kailin from asking, and after thinking about it for a while, he didn't think about it, so he simply called his daughter Huang Zhiqiu over.
"Zhiqiu, you have a good eye. Take a look at this door. What color paint looks good?"
