Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

It's July in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Xiuhua's second pen of chickens started to go out. Before the dog days of summer came, she wanted to sell all the chickens without leaving a single one.

When Li Jianguo came back and found out about the road robbery, he went to the police station and asked them to inspect the road conditions during this period. However, no similar incidents occurred again.

In May, chickens were selling well in all the major supply and marketing cooperatives. When they heard that her chickens were ready for sale, they began to place orders from her.

This time it only took no less than ten days, and all the more than 9,000 chickens were slaughtered.

After selling all the chickens, Zhang Xiuhua asked her sister-in-law and Aunt Wang to clean and disinfect the chicken farm. The chicken coop was also cleaned thoroughly.

Xu Chunying has been feeling irritable recently, which is understandable. After all, her eldest son Hongwu is in the second year of high school this year and will take the college entrance examination on July 7, 8, and 9. Hongxia is the same age as Youcai, also in the second year of junior high school, and will soon take the high school entrance examination.

Zhang Xiuhua was also very nervous because Youcai was going to take the high school entrance exam. The high school entrance exam was in mid-July, and Zhang Xiuhua hired a teacher to tutor him, but the child was not a good student and needed someone to urge him to study.

Human joys and sorrows are not shared. Compared with the nervousness and irritability of these two people, Aunt Wang is much happier because her two children will graduate from university this year. At that time, universities were three-year programs and guaranteed job placement.

"I don't know when they will be back. I'm waiting for news."

There is still no telephone in Lijiatun, so they have to go to the commune to make a phone call. Zhang Xiuhua told her not to worry, "Maybe they will write back soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, a postman came over on his bicycle and shouted at the door of Aunt Wang Er's house, "Is anyone there?"

When Aunt Wang heard the noise, she ran over immediately.

After a while, she came back with a smile on her face, holding two letters in her hands.

Aunt Wang Er was not very literate, so she immediately handed the letter to Zhang Xiuhua and asked her to help read it.

Although Zhang Xiuhua did not graduate from primary school, she has been learning and knows most of the characters except for the rare ones.

Zhang Xiuhua tore open a letter and read it to her word by word.

The letter was written by Wang Xinghua. The school assigned her a job in Jiangxi Province, so she couldn't go back for the time being and would return home at the end of the year.

The assigned job was to work as an ordinary clerk in the Jiangxi Provincial Housing Management Office.

Aunt Wang's eyes lit up surprisingly. Before she could speak, Xu Chunying couldn't wait to speak, "Oh, Xinghua is an official now?"

"Not really an official. Just a civil servant." Zhang Xiuhua laughed.

Aunt Wang smiled from ear to ear, "Being a civil servant is good, the job is stable." She urged Zhang Xiuhua to read another letter.

"Has my family member Tiegang also been assigned a job?"

After Zhang Xiuhua finished reading, she nodded at her, "Yes! He is in our province, assigned to a steel plant as a technician. It can be considered a professional match."

Aunt Wang clapped her hands and said, "The steel mill is good, and the treatment there is good too."

Before, they went to the steel mill to sell New Year gifts. The steel mill was rich and powerful, so they ordered a lot of expensive gift boxes. She didn't expect that her son could also enter the steel mill and become a worker. It was great.

Xu Chunying was a little anxious, "Did they say how much they were paid?"

Zhang Xiuhua looked through it from beginning to end, but didn't find it, so she shook her head.

Aunt Wang is already very satisfied and doesn't care. "Being a worker in the city is better than farming for us."

When Aunt Wang Er heard the good news, she immediately went to find her husband to tell him the good news.

She left happily, and her back was as happy as it could be. Xu Chunying looked at her with a sour look, "Her family will have countless good days in the future. It's really enviable."

Zhang Xiuhua saw her sour tone and said, "You don't have to envy others. Hongwu and Hongxia have such good grades. They will definitely get good grades."

Although Hongwu and Hongxia didn't spend a penny on tutoring, their grades were very good. They were not geniuses like Jidong, but they were hardworking.

The reason why Hongwu and Hongxia love studying so much is because of the living positive example of their aunt Li Fengjiao. Xu Chunying and Li Jiandang also want their children to go to the city to work as workers. When they were young, they often told their children how good life was for people in the city.

The children were influenced by their parents and knew that they could be assigned a job if they passed high school. Although in the following ten years, it became a luxury to be assigned a job, but now the college entrance examination has been resumed. It is a foregone conclusion that if you pass college, you will be assigned a job. Hongwu still has a high hope of passing college. As for Hongxia, her grades are slightly better than Youcai, so she has a higher chance of passing high school.

Which parent doesn't like to hear people praise their children? Xu Chunying smiled from ear to ear, "I hope so. As long as they can pass the exam, we will support them even if we have to sell everything we have."

As they were talking, Youcai came back carrying a lot of bags.

There were really a lot of bags and small bags, about three or four suitcase bags in total.

Xu Chunying saw him coming back and said hello to Zhang Xiuhua, "Hongxia must be back too. I'll go back and cook for the kids first. They must be starving."

Zhang Xiuhua looked at Youcai, "You brought all this luggage back? Are you graduating?"

"Yes! The teacher asked us to go home and review for a day, then report to school the day after tomorrow, and then take a bus to the county to take the exam. We will come back to sleep and review our lessons at night."

Zhang Xiuhua was a little worried, "Don't you want me to take you there?"

"No. The students in our school take the exams in three different schools. We are led by our homeroom teacher."

Zhang Xiuhua breathed a sigh of relief, "You must keep your admission ticket safe. Don't lose it. I heard from Zhou Zhiqing and Li Zhiqing that there was a candidate who forgot to bring his admission ticket during the college entrance examination. How could he not forget his head at home?"

Youcai felt that Aunt Zhang's words were meant to imply something, so he laughed it off and said, "It won't be me anyway."

Baolin laughed at him, "You've forgotten so many things! Last time you went fishing, you forgot to bring your fishing net. And last time you went to eat, you forgot to bring your food coupons. And the time before that..."

Youcai gritted his teeth and ran over to cover Baolin's mouth, "I told you not to keep talking!"

Baolin ran away laughing.

Youcai wanted to go to the kitchen to make something delicious, but Zhang Xiuhua stopped him, saying, "Go back to your room and read. I'll cook for you today."

Baolin ran back and lay down at the door of the kitchen, grinning and saying, "Brother Youcai, it's better to sharpen your sword before the battle. Your grades are so unstable, you should go read some books."

Youcai glared at Baolin, and finally went back to his room to read.

It was getting dark, and Zhang Xiuhua brought in steaming hot meals.

Just as I put the food on the table, I heard someone knocking on the door. "You have talent? You have talent?"

Zhang Xiuhua leaned out and looked outside, and it turned out to be Ergou's father.
