She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and was kicked out by her mother-in-law who favored boys

In the first month of the year.

Gu Qingqing could still be at peace and not worry about anything. All she enjoyed was eating and sleeping, sleeping and waking up, waking up to feed, and then eating and sleeping again.

After the first month of the year, she began to worry about Li Xin.

Li Xin is going to take part in the children's exam this year. His registered residence is in a temple in Taohua Town. It should have been done by the old beggar who took him there at that time. The key point is that the temple had been abandoned several years ago.

There would be an exam in a few days, so after discussing it, the family decided, with Li Xin's consent, to register his household registration directly in Niutoushan Village.

This time, Li Xin is not the only one going to take the exam, but also Geng Wen and two other children in the village.

Old Yangtou and Li Yu took them to take the exam, and Zhao Dong was responsible for driving the mule cart. For this purpose, the villagers worked together to convert the flatbed cart into a simple box truck using bamboo strips.

This way the children in the village will suffer less.

In addition, Li Xin was going to take an exam, and he didn't need to prepare much, just writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone, and food for lunch that day.

You don't have to worry about pens, ink, paper and inkstone since we have them at home. The main thing is lunch.

Gu Qingqing didn't think that the food inside would be more delicious. The day before A Zi and the others set off, Gu Qingqing wrapped herself tightly and made a dozen lion heads with the help of Wen Wuyan and her mother. She packed six of them for Daxin to take away.

I also cooked a serving of braised pork and potatoes.

Gu Qingqing and Wen Wuyan couldn't go, so they could only tell Old Yang, "Uncle Yang, it's cold now, give two meatballs to Daxin on the first day, and give the remaining four to the other children. There's a lot of soup, so tell them to pour the soup over the rice after heating it up."

Old Yang looked at the worried Gu Qingqing and waved his hands at her. "Alright, alright, go back quickly. Be careful not to catch a cold. With Li Yu and I here, what else do you have to worry about? I heard Wen He crying. Go back and check on her."

"Aunt, you don't have to worry about me. I've been there once when we accompanied my uncle last time. I'm familiar with that place." Li Xin said from the side.

Gu Qingqing pulled Li Xin, who was almost as tall as herself, to her side. She sighed inwardly that it was easy for her to rub their heads before, but now it was no longer possible. If she wanted to rub their heads, she had to raise her hands high.

Even when you raise your hands, you have to rub them. Gu Qingqing pulled her hands out of the sewn wrist guards and rubbed his smooth hair. "You are still young, don't feel stressed. Look, your uncle only passed the examination to become a student when he was 24 years old."

Wen Wuyan beside him: "......"

Li Xin turned his head to look at his uncle, smiled at him, and then looked at Gu Qingqing, "I know, aunt."

The next morning, the Wen family's mule cart carrying the village children slowly disappeared at the end of the road amid the expectations and gazes of the adults.

It is February now, and the braised meat shop in the town has not yet opened, but the soap workshop and shampoo production at home have already started, working for two days and resting for two days. In late autumn last year, they went from village to village to purchase soapberries, and throughout the season, they collected almost a roomful of soapberries. This year, they started by making soapberry plant soap.

At the same time, Zhao Dong took Zhao Nan and Zhao Zhong to start making bamboo paper. They also made it in the backyard, but they staggered the time with the people who were weaving soap. They made paper while the soap workshop was resting. After two days, they rested and the soap workshop went to work.

This is not a long-term solution. Gu Qingqing is now under the control of Wen Wuyan and her mother and cannot leave the main room at all. The couple, one is taking care of the child in the inner room, and the other is studying in the outer room to prepare for the upcoming college entrance examination.

A few days passed in a flash, and the children who went to the county came back. I asked them how they did in the exam.

"I don't know, it's pretty good. Hey, you haven't seen it, the county is really big, they live in blue brick houses, even the ground is paved with blue bricks, seeing it makes me want to seize them and bring them back to build houses."

"Also, the houses they live in are so spectacular, with lions taller than me placed at the door. They look scary."

"But the food there is really expensive. Just a bowl of vegetarian noodles costs more than ten cents."

The children who went to the county for the first time chattered about what they saw, which made the children who had not been there very envious. They all made up their minds to study hard this year and go to the county next year as well.

After returning, Li Xin tactfully reported his test results to his uncle and aunt, and he felt okay.

What Li Xin said was indeed true. A few days later, it was announced that he had become a student at the age of twelve. Of course, he was not the only one who became a student this time, Geng Wen was also included.

As for the other two children, they did not make it this year.

Two of the four became students, which was enough to make the villagers happy for a long time.

Similarly, as their good news spread, more people from other villages came to them, hoping to send their children to study there.

Old Yang expressed his embarrassment. Firstly, there was not enough space at home. Secondly, he was the only one in charge of teaching. He could not teach both the old and the new classes at the same time.

After Gu Qingqing learned about this, she discussed it with Wu Shan. If there was not enough space, she could fund the construction of a few larger schools, but as for the problem of insufficient staff, she said she could not help.

Later, Wu Shan went to find Wen Youcai. From his lonely figure, one could guess that he was probably turned away.

It would have been fine if this matter had never been mentioned. Now that it was mentioned but nothing could be done, Wu Shan felt like he was scratched by a cat. He was determined to make this happen. Firstly, it would be great for their village. Secondly, he would not be the village chief for many years. He hoped that when he was no longer the village chief, the villagers would always remember that it was him who overcame all difficulties to solve the school issue for the village.

In the past, he thought he knew a lot of people, but now compared with Qingqing's, the people he knew were nothing. Finally, he found Gu Qingqing and said that the village could pay for building the school, but he asked her to think of a way to find a teacher.

"Uncle Wu, in a few days, when I'm out of confinement and the weather is nice, I'll go to the Shen Mansion to see if Mr. Shen knows anyone." Gu Qingqing promised Wu Shan.

The days that followed were peaceful yet busy.

Especially after she came out of confinement, Yang Xing and Zhao Qin came and told her that they had been to the family hatching chicks and, according to her instructions, ordered 400 chickens and ducks each this year.

Will deliver it when the weather warms up.

Uncle Li, who was in charge of the fields, and his family came to ask her what her plans were for the land. The weather was getting warmer these days, and they began to slowly open up the wasteland.
