Now the old branch secretary and accountant also became happy and wanted to pay respect to Yunshan Wine.

If there is an agricultural machine in the village, a small one will be enough. It will save a lot of manpower for pumping water and irrigating the land. It can also compete with other villages for water and time for farming.

It’s beautiful just thinking about it!

Gu Yunshan agreed happily, because he could indeed help. The large Dongfanghong agricultural machinery was a bit difficult, but this small one was stress-free.

Three or five units are not a problem.

The men here cheered because Gu Yunshan was willing to help, causing the women and children next door to ask what was going on.

After hearing what the children said, Xia's mother sighed with emotion: "Yunshan is really capable." She turned to the children and told them, "You have to study hard with your father/uncle. Being educated is different."

Tian Huaihua smiled and said: "Mom, what's the use of studying? It won't even allow me to get into college."

Xia's mother: "Isn't it still recommended to read it? All the children from cadre families recommend it. Yunshan is also a cadre, and Da Zhuang and the others will definitely be able to do it."

Qiu Guofang's eyes flashed and he looked at his children. He wondered if his uncle could help recommend them to go to university.

I heard that you become a cadre right after graduating from university. Getting a cadre salary and eating food supplies is a hundred times better than farming in the countryside.

Xia Mingshuang said: "Anyway, regardless of whether you are admitted to college or recommended to go to college, even if you want to find a job in the city, you must be educated. To recruit workers in the factory, you must at least graduate from junior high school." She reached out and touched the heads of several children, "So, You all have to study hard."

The eldest niece sitting next to Miaomiao turned to look at her, bit her lip, and summoned up the courage to ask in a low voice: "Auntie, when we grow up, will you and uncle also find jobs for us?"

Before she could finish her words, her cheeks turned red. She was shy and nervous, and she secretly glanced at her mother.

Qiu Guofang is very capable, but in the production team she only earns the family's rations all year round. She doesn't even get a few dollars. Now she doesn't earn as much as Minghui, which is a big blow to her. I think about it day and night, and at night I must say a few words, envying those who have a job.

Qiu Guofang's ears were also filled with heat, as if someone who was whispering behind his back was exposed in public. She naturally envied Mingshuang and Minghui for making money through their work.

Xia Mingshuang pretended not to see it and just smiled at the children: "Of course, as long as you study hard, there will be no problem in your work."

In this era, you can still take the technical secondary school entrance examination, and you will be assigned the same, and your job will be quite good. Even if you can't get into technical secondary school or university, it will be much more convenient to wait until the 80s to make a living in the city.

Although the children didn't understand this yet, they were all very happy to see their aunt agreeing to them.

Xia Mingshuang took the opportunity to take a pencil notebook and distribute it to his three nephews and nieces.

Brother Xia is four years older than her, but because the original owner gave birth early, his oldest child is also two years younger than Da Zhuang Miaomiao.

The eldest niece is 10 years old this year, the eldest nephew is 8 years old, and the youngest nephew is 5 years old. Qiu Guofang had a miscarriage two years ago and has not become pregnant again.

Originally, Qiu Guofang did not allow his eldest daughter to study. Last year, Xia Mingshuang went home and talked several times, so Xia's mother let her eldest daughter go.

Let the eldest grandson go again this fall.

Qiu Guofang was afraid that the two children would be harmed, so he wanted to go over there, "I'll keep it for you."

The two sons refused, but gave it to Xia's mother, "Let grandma help collect it."

I gave it to my mother to keep, but later she gave it to my uncle's brother.

Xia's mother was afraid that her eldest daughter-in-law would be embarrassed, so she smiled and said, "My aunt will write for you every day. Just keep it yourself and don't damage it."

When they were leaving in the evening, Xia's father and Xia's mother packed up a bunch of things. The children were also thinking about staying at the aunt's house. In the past, the aunt didn't want to see them, but now she treats them well and actively invites them to live there.

They don't want to go to their grandma's house anymore, they want to go to their aunt's house.

Xia Mingshuang made an appointment with them, asking them to go to their grandmother's house first, and then come back to visit their aunt's house. She smiled and said: "When I went to my aunt's house, I had to study with my brothers and sisters. I didn't just play around all day."

The children said one after another: "We are not afraid of what we need to learn."

Although they were not far away and saw each other often, Xia's mother, Xia's father and others still sent them to the entrance of the village and reluctantly said goodbye.

On the way, Xia Mingshuang saw Liu Hongying and two old ladies poking their heads, but she didn't dare to step forward to act like a monster. She was still puzzled. In the past, every time she went back to her parents' home, she could hear Liu Hongying cursing in the dark. She just scolded her parents for being ungrateful, scolding her and Gu Yunshan for being white-eyed wolves. But she didn't scold her by name, and Xia Mingshuang didn't bother to answer her.

Xia's mother quietly told her that Xia's father didn't want the old woman to curse all day long, so he went to the old party secretary, accountant and team leader to explain the matter clearly. Let's talk about everything and let the cadres come to the old woman's house to talk to her. If she curses again, it will be business as usual.

The old party secretary had a solution. Liu Hongying was restrained. No matter how much she hated her, she didn't dare to curse anymore, for fear that the old party secretary would shave her head and let her parade around the streets with a sign.

Xia Mingshuang praised Xia's father, "Dad, you are very capable now."

In the past, she always felt that her father and mother were weak and cowardly, and were manipulated by Liu Hongying, but she never expected that her father had a tough side.

Father Xia: "Then my son-in-law can still make her aggressive when she comes back for the New Year? We are used to her behavior, but my son-in-law dislikes it."

He looked quite arrogant.

The next day, on the third day of junior high school, guests came to visit from Gu's family. When the girls returned home, Mrs. Gu's nephew and Old Man Gu's nephew also came to visit.

Originally, because Sister Gu returned to her parents' home, Gu Yunshan wanted to stay at home to entertain her. However, something happened at the factory and the director sent a car to take him back early in the morning.

Xia Mingshuang asked the third sister and Da Zhuang's children to pass by, but she would not join in the fun, lest everyone get bored with each other.

As a result, after a while, Sister Gu led the eldest sister and the children over here.

Sister Gu brought five kilograms of corn flour as she did in previous years, and Third Sister Gu also carried it over.

Third Sister Gu: "Mingshuang, elder sister, please eat here."

Xia Mingshuang: "Of course that's good, why do you still bring something?"

Third Sister Gu: "I was angry, so I brought it over."

Gu Yanni is still in the same old style, showing off and comparing herself to others, and this year she has added Gu Yulian. Those two sisters were really close sisters. Those who didn't know it thought they were married to a big boss, and they boasted that they were powerful in the sky and on the earth. They don't get angry when they brag about their third sister Gu, mainly because they have to step on her and the eldest sister while bragging. Especially when she is divorced, they get even more excited. The eldest sister said a few words, and they even said to the eldest sister that they were neither older nor younger, so Third Sister Gu didn’t want to give them face.

Third Sister Gu is now influenced by Xia Mingshuang and dares to say and do whatever she wants. She is no longer afraid of what others will say.

Xia Mingshuang was so happy that she popped sugar popcorn for the children and baked cornbread for Sister Gu. Even though Gu Yunshan was not at home, everyone was still happy.

They were happy, but the old Gu family was fighting again.
