Knowing my child’s grades, time flies by and I become more energetic than usual in shoveling dirt and mud.

When the sun rose high, everyone was hungry, so Zhang Xiuhua and Xu Chunying started to prepare food.

The main purpose of a big pot meal is to be quick and filling.

Put the soaked red beans, kidney beans, black beans and rice in a steamer and steam them over high heat. After steaming, add glutinous rice flour and mix evenly. Then wrap it with rolled bread and put it in the pot to steam. This is the sticky rice dumplings made by Zhang Xiuhua.

Xu Chunying stir-fried radish, cabbage, tofu, vermicelli and meat with a stewed dish.

After cooking, Zhang Xiuhua called everyone to come and eat.

After dinner, everyone planned to go home.

Zhang Xiuhua stopped them and told them not to rush home, but to go to the threshing ground because she had something to tell them.

Everyone's expressions were a little subtle.

Xu Chunying pulled Zhang Xiuhua's sleeve and said, "Are you going to tell Nan about Yaoyao's results in front of everyone?"

This idea of ​​my second brother's wife is not a good one. Lijiatun is so small that if someone farts at the end of the village, they can smell it at the beginning of the village. Why bother to offend others? She just listens to other people's good words. She doesn't think that the whole village will be happy with her, right? So many children from other families didn't get into college. Several children from her family got into college. Isn't she afraid of others' jealousy? !

Zhang Xiuhua realized that she had misunderstood and quickly shook her head, "It's not that! It's something else."

Xu Chunying thought that her second brother, the village chief, had something important to announce. But after thinking about it, she couldn't think of anything.

There is still a month and a half before the autumn harvest. Isn't it too early to organize people now? Besides, it's not a big contract responsibility system now. Each family does their own work. The village chief can't control when other families harvest their grain.

She wanted to ask, but Zhang Xiuhua refused to answer, "You'll know when you get there."

Xu Chunying had no idea what she was up to, so she had no choice but to follow her.

When they arrived at the threshing ground, Li Jianguo used a loudspeaker to make a call in the village, and soon the villagers gathered at the threshing ground.

Yaoyao stood in the audience, looking at so many people, clasping her hands together, feeling excited and a little embarrassed.

Ji Lin felt that Sister Yaoyao's move was too much, "Are you really going to do this? Don't you want to save face, Mom?!"

Yaoyao didn't sleep last night, and she kept her eyes open until dawn. She recalled every detail of her and Lin Xingyu's past two years. When she found out that the love letter was fake, Lin Xingyu's motives changed drastically.

Every time she did well in a test, he would come over and say that he would definitely surpass her next time.

She originally thought it was encouragement, but now thinking back, it was clearly a provocation!

No one likes to be provoked, no matter how much she likes Lin Xingyu. And to be honest, she doesn't know if it's because time has passed or what, she found that she doesn't like Lin Xingyu that much. That hazy and throbbing feeling is gone!

But she couldn't admit it to her father and Aunt Zhang because she didn't like the feeling of being controlled by others. She seemed to be a puppet, manipulated by her parents at will.

She hated this feeling and she had to stop her parents' overbearing behavior.

Besides, adults care about their reputation the most. As long as you ask them to apologize in front of many people, they won’t dare to make the same mistake again next time!

Yaoyao was unmoved by Jilin's words. Seeing that she didn't listen to his advice, Jilin looked at his mother with sympathy. What did his mother do wrong? She just wanted Yaoyao to get into a good university. The means were a little despicable, but it was all for Yaoyao's good. He dared to say that Yaoyao's mother contributed at least 30% to her being able to get into university today. But this hero stood on the stage to apologize to Yaoyao. If it were him, he would feel wronged, unacceptable, and feel that his conscience had been fed to dogs!

Zhang Xiuhua was not embarrassed at all, and took the speaker to the stage. The stage was actually made of desks. Jidong and Youcai moved their desks home after graduating from high school, and Li Jianguo moved them from home. She stepped on the desk and shouted to the audience, "Everyone, be quiet for a moment. I have something to say first."

The villagers below were looking at the stage. Some of them had the same idea as Xu Chunying, thinking that she wanted to announce Yaoyao's college entrance examination results and invite everyone to a banquet.

Everyone was prepared to bleed a little, but who would have thought that it was not the case at all.

Zhang Xiuhua coughed lightly, "It's like this, my daughter Yaoyao has the habit of writing a diary. Two years ago, her father and I secretly read her diary. I solemnly apologize to her and will never make this mistake again!"

The villagers thought they had misheard. What the hell? She wasn't showing off her daughter's high score, she was apologizing to the child?! Xiuhua actually apologized to the child. And she just read the diary. Was it necessary to apologize in front of the whole village for such a small matter?! She was really bored!

Not only adults think so, children think so too.

The children also thought they had heard wrongly, because they had never seen their parents apologize since they were young, and they would beat them if they didn't obey!

Li Jianguo also came on stage and stood at the side. "Me too! I am here to solemnly apologize to my daughter Yaoyao. Dad was wrong, and I will not make the same mistake again."

Everyone looked at Yaoyao.

She stood on the stage, not feeling guilty, with her back straight, as if she was waiting to be awarded a medal. She did not go on stage, but just raised the corners of her mouth and replied, "Okay! I forgive you!"

The villagers in the audience were furious. Why did this child talk so rudely? Xiuhua and her husband were also like that. What's wrong with reading a diary? They even apologized to the child in front of everyone! They spoiled her!

Aunt Wang stood by and looked up at Zhang Xiuhua and shouted, "What's going on? Did you take the wrong medicine?"

Xu Chunying rubbed her forehead. What's wrong with this couple?! Is it worth calling the whole village to listen to such a small matter?!

The villagers had the same idea. As a father, I gave them food and drink and read their diary. What was wrong with that? But she was so unreasonable that she asked them to apologize in front of everyone!

Yes, they had already guessed that it was not Zhang Xiuhua and Li Jianguo's idea, it must be Yaoyao who asked them to do so.

This child is usually quiet and has little presence in the village. They didn't expect that she would have such a temper. They felt mixed emotions and had already labeled Yaoyao as "unyielding even when reasonable."

Zhang Xiuhua and Li Jianguo jumped off the stage and shouted to everyone, "Okay, I'm done. Let's go back first."

The villagers walked out in twos and threes.

Zhang Xiuhua was pestered by Aunt Wang, "By the way, I heard that Yaoyao's college entrance examination results are out, and she scored 601 points. Is it true?"

"Really." Zhang Xiuhua nodded.

Everyone around heard it and congratulated Zhang Xiuhua.

So she was surrounded by villagers again, who asked her for advice on raising children.

Many villagers felt that the couple had raised their child to be a college student, but that he was just a study machine. Yaoyao would definitely be unfilial in the future!

She asked her parents to apologize just for reading the diary. What can I expect from her in the future?

Zhang Xiuhua had no idea what the villagers were thinking. By the time she got away and prepared to go home, it was already completely dark.

Yaoyao and Jilin went home directly. Zhang Xiuhua and Li Jianguo still had to work in the orchard.

When they arrived at the orchard, Li Jianguo remembered to tell her one thing, "Yaoyao didn't apply for the architecture major, she applied for the medical school."

Zhang Xiuhua's eyes widened. "Doesn't she think that doctors work too hard?"

Li Jianguo sighed, "She said she has no talent for architecture."

Liking something doesn't mean you have talent. Yaoyao has read many books on architecture, but when she really uses it, she is constrained and doesn't dare to be unique. If she studies architecture just to find a job, she thinks she can apply, but if she wants to design a unique house, her talent is not enough.

Zhang Xiuhua had discovered it a long time ago, because when Yaoyao had a crush on Ye Xingyu before, Zhang Xiuhua used architecture to seduce her, but it didn't work at all. It can be seen that her love for architecture is superficial and far from the level of obsession. As for talent, it is even less visible.

She can understand Yaoyao's choice, that's just her personality. "Being a doctor is hard work, she knows it in advance, and she will be more stable than others when she studies in the future."

"She said she might want to study abroad. Western medicine is the main treatment now, and it is still in the development stage in our country. We have to save more money for her to study abroad." Li Jianguo felt that only Yaoyao could persist for so long. If it was Youcai who was impatient, he would have quit long ago.

"This is indeed the way to study medicine. If we can't apply for a government-funded study abroad program, we'll pay for it ourselves." Zhang Xiuhua also realized how difficult it was to get a government-funded study abroad program because Jidong wanted to. There are only about 3,000 students in the country who can enjoy government-funded study abroad programs.

The quotas for each school are different. The better the school, the more quotas it has. The quotas for Peking University and Tsinghua University are higher than those for other schools. In addition, there are also obvious differences in majors. Majors related to airplanes, ships, and automobiles have more quotas than other industries. Medicine is obviously not the major with the most quotas.

Yaoyao's school is not the best, and her major is not particularly outstanding. The probability of her being selected to study abroad at government expense is much lower than Jidong's.

However, Zhang Xiuhua felt that as long as the child was willing to study, she would support him.

Li Jianguo nodded, "She still has to work hard on her own."

The most important thing is that the child has to work hard on her own. If she cannot apply to a foreign school, there is nothing they can do no matter how rich they are!
