Hongwen thought his mother had a bad memory, so he repeated what he said last year, "You said at that time that if I also became the top scorer in the high school entrance examination, you would also buy me a model. You adults can't lie to me!"

Xu Chunying was at a loss. Yes! That was indeed the case. "Well, you want to buy a model? Sure! I..."

"No! I don't want a model airplane, I want a remote-controlled racing car! I heard from my second uncle that they are sold in the south." Hongwen looked at Xu Chunying eagerly.

Xu Chunying thought that they were sold in the south and the price should be quite high, so she nodded and agreed, "Okay! I'll write to your dad later and ask him to buy one for you!"

Hong Wen jumped three feet high with joy, "That's great!"

Zhang Xiuhua was watching the fun at first, but when she saw her sister-in-law was going to entertain the teacher, she came back first.

When she walked out of the encirclement, Youcai, Baolin, Yaoyao and Zhuzhu all came to watch the fun, which scared Zhang Xiuhua, "Why are you all out? There's no one to take care of the chicken farm at home!"

Youcai finally reacted and hurried home.

Luckily, they were only out for a short while and no one came to steal the chickens!

But Zhang Xiuhua was unhappy. "Didn't I tell you to stay at home and watch the chicken farm? Why did you all run out to watch the fun?!"

Youcai immediately looked at Baolin and Yaoyao, "I let them see it."

Baolin and Yaoyao looked at Zhuzhu, "I asked her to watch it at home."

Zhuzhu felt a little guilty, "I was too young. When thieves came to my house, I couldn't beat them. It doesn't matter if I am there or not."

Seeing that they didn't know they were wrong, Zhang Xiuhua said, "As a punishment, you can't eat meat for a week."

She checked the chicken farm and found that the glass and doors around it were all in good condition, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Youcai blamed Baolin and Yaoyao, "Why did you let Zhuzhu look at a chicken? She is so young!"

Baolin and Yaoyao felt that it was unreasonable for him, as a brother, to dump the task on the three of them. "You are also wrong!"

So the three siblings started to quarrel and no one paid any attention to each other!

Zhuzhu secretly told her mother about this.

Zhang Xiuhua told her to stop worrying about it, and she put all the eggs in the basket. When she came out, she saw the three of them staring at each other. No one was willing to give in.

Zhang Xiuhua asked Zhuzhu, "You can't look after the chicken farm, what did you promise them to do! You promised others, but you can't do it. You are not trustworthy. If your mother promised you something and couldn't do it, would you be happy?"

Zhuzhu pursed her lips, lowered her head and thought for a while, "I was wrong. I won't brag again next time."

Zhuzhu's words made the three children feel embarrassed, but they all wanted to save face and no one was willing to admit their mistakes.

After seeing her teacher off, Xu Chunying ran over to find Zhang Xiuhua.

"How is it? Which high school will your Hongwen apply to?"

"Let's go to the same high school as Hongxia. Then you'll have someone to look after you when the time comes. Tuition is free anyway, and the teaching staff at Experimental High School and No. 1 High School are similar." Xu Chunying came to her to ask how much the model cost.

Zhang Xiuhua has never bought one, “I don’t know.”

"How much is that remote-controlled airplane model you bought?"

Zhang Xiuhua got it from the space, but she couldn't say it, so she just said, "I bought it second-hand. I heard that a brand new one costs 500 yuan."

Xu Chunying took a deep breath. Five hundred? So expensive. "What about the model train?"

“That one is cheaper, only three hundred yuan. It can’t fly, it can only be controlled by remote control.” Zhang Xiuhua explained.

This price was not acceptable to Xu Chunying. The eggs in the chicken farm had just been laid, and it would take at least until the end of the year to recover the cost. Their family had invested all the 1,000 yuan in the chicken farm. She invested all the money her husband brought back at the end of the year in next year's chicken farm. There was no money left to buy models.

"Oh, what should I do? Three hundred. It's too expensive!" Xu Chunying was heartbroken.

Zhang Xiuhua had just heard Xu Chunying agree to Hongwen, "You've already promised, no matter how difficult it is, you have to buy it for the child. Otherwise, he will think you don't keep your word. He will have less respect for you in the future."

Xu Chunying didn't want to break her promise, but it was only 300 yuan. She was worried that the child's father would not agree!

She returned home with a heavy heart and asked Hongwen to write a letter to her father. The letter was sent to Hongwu's school, and then Hongwu would bring it to Li Jiandang.

Hongwen described the model in great detail in the letter.

Xu Chunying was puzzled, "How do you know so much?"

"My classmate has one, and I want one too." Hongwen was worried and even drew a model to prevent his father from buying the wrong one.

The letter has been sent, and the next step is to wait.

On the other hand, the three children of Zhang Xiuhua still did not reconcile. The two sides launched a cold war.

Youcai ran to the kitchen to cook.

When the food was served, Youcai looked at Baolin and Yaoyao, "Don't eat the food I cooked. Unless you apologize to me!"

Baolin and Yaoyao looked at each other, a little unhappy. After discussing for a long time, they felt that it was better to know the current situation. The main reason was that the weather was too hot and neither of them wanted to cook.

Baolin and Yaoyao whispered, "I'm sorry!"

Youcai pulled down his ears and said, "The sound is too soft, I can't hear it!"

Baolin winked at Yaoyao, and then the two of them walked behind Youcai, one of them pulled his ears, and shouted into his ears, "Sorry!"

The talented one was so angry that he screamed, "You have no respect for your elders!"

Baolin and Yaoyao burst out laughing. Zhuzhu also laughed out loud at the funny looks of the three of them.

Seeing that they had reconciled, Zhang Xiuhua also breathed a sigh of relief.

After sending the letter, Hongwen began to wait day and night for his model to be returned. But he waited and waited, but it never came. Instead, he received the news that Jidong and Jilin had returned from Moscow.

Li Jianguo brought the two children back.

After returning home, Jilin changed his lazy nature and described vividly the various models they saw in the space museum. "We saw satellite models and large airplanes."

"Our country has also launched satellites, there's nothing strange about it." Youcai curled his lips.

"It's different. I haven't seen our country's satellite, but I have seen the Russian model. There are also real planes. It's a pity that they don't fly!" Ji Lin felt a little regretful, "There are also rockets and various small experiments. It's really interesting!"

It was hard for him to say so much, Zhang Xiuhua was surprised and asked Jidong, "What major do you plan to apply for?"

"I want to develop aircraft. I should apply for aerodynamics and flight mechanics." Jidong has made up his mind.

His decision made Zhang Xiuhua slightly stunned, because Jidong was a businessman in his previous life, but he didn't want to do business in this life, which surprised her a little. But thinking about it carefully, maybe he had to do business in his previous life. After all, Jidong didn't have any academic qualifications at that time. Even if he had a dream of developing aircraft in his heart, his academic qualifications were not enough.

Although their family lost a wealthy businessman, they also cultivated a scientific research talent for the country. This is something worth being happy about.

Jilin happily announced, "I want to develop airplanes in the future, too."

"You two have great ambitions, great!" Zhang Xiuhua praised them and told Jilin to study hard, "This major is not accessible to ordinary people. You can't be biased in one subject."

Ji Lin nodded, "Don't worry, I will study hard!"
