Yu Daya was taken away by Zhang Shuixiu. Small World No. 8 successfully saved itself and is operating normally. This is the first small world that successfully saved itself. Both the melon-eating system and Jiang Youtao are very happy.
The best thing in the world is that good people are rewarded.
The next morning, Jiang Youtao got up very early and went to the state-owned restaurant to buy half a pound of freshly fried dough sticks and half a pot of soy milk.
After coming back, Jiang Youtao boiled a few eggs.
Gu Nianwei was already washing up. When she saw the breakfast Jiang Youtao bought, her eyes lit up: "This breakfast is good."
The freshly fried dough sticks are very crispy. Soak them in soy milk and let them absorb the milk. The outer skin is still crispy, but the inside is already very soft.
The soy milk didn't have too much sugar in it, so it wasn't sweet enough, but they still liked it. Due to the limited tools, Jiang Youtao and her friends hadn't had soy milk for a long time, and the state-owned restaurants didn't supply it every day.
Jiang Youtao gave Xu Manqiu two eggs, a fried dough stick, and a bowl of soy milk.
Xu Manqiu had finished eating. She had only seen Old Lady Xu make this kind of breakfast for Xu Baozhu when she was taking an exam, and she had never enjoyed it before.
At this moment, Xu Manqiu felt that her childhood was healed, and she now had someone who would prepare egg fried dough sticks for her exams. Although they were not her relatives, in Xu Manqiu's heart, Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei were closer than her relatives.
After breakfast, the three of them went out together, then separated at the entrance of the alley. Jiang Youtao sent Xu Manqiu to the elementary school, and Gu Nianwei to the middle school. Today was the first-year junior high school exam, and she was going to be the invigilator.
After sending Xu Manqiu to elementary school, she went to middle school.
After the second-year junior high school students finished their exams, it was time for holiday. Jiang Youtao routinely talked about a lot of things to pay attention to during the holiday, and then talked to the classmates for a long time before the holiday. The students went to move their luggage, and Jiang Youtao waited until the last student in the class left school before going back.
Jiang Youtao had just taken a few steps when she was stopped by Teacher Li.
She was the female teacher who beat up Lin Manrou when she was having an affair with Gong Xubo. She taught Class 2 of Grade 8.
"Teacher Li." Jiang Youtao stood waiting for her to come over.
Teacher Li smiled and said, "Teacher Jiang, last time I happened to hear you talk about some problems in teaching, and I found that your methods are very different from mine. You also know that I don't have a high degree, and these teaching methods are all developed by me over the years."
Teacher Li is a good teacher. She did not feel embarrassed to expose her shortcomings in front of the young teacher. She looked natural and generous: "So I want to ask you a question."
Jiang Youtao's teaching methods were accumulated when she was a tutor in college in her previous life. She also searched for a lot of teaching videos on the Internet. Therefore, many of her methods were just plagiarized. As for other teachers' questions, she was never stingy with her answers as long as she knew the answers.
"Teacher Li, what do you mean by asking for advice? You are embarrassing me. Let's go to the office and talk. I will show you the lesson plan I made so that we can learn from each other."
"To be honest, I've just become a teacher, and there are many things I can't handle. At this time, you, as an old senior, can't hide anything."
Jiang Youtao's heartfelt flattery made the smile on Teacher Li's face even more sincere. The two of them walked shoulder to shoulder to the office. There were also several teachers in the office. Teacher Li moved a stool and sat next to Jiang Youtao. Jiang Youtao took out three thick lesson plans that she had used to teach two classes in the past year and shared them with Teacher Li.
Teacher Li also writes lesson plans, but she is far from being as meticulous as Jiang Youtao. When Jiang Youtao is explaining a text, she always thinks divergently. When she talks about some topics to the students, she will extend the text to some extracurricular content.
These contents can be expanded in many directions, covering geography, biology, and history. These contents have deepened everyone's understanding of the text.
Teacher Li benefited a lot from reading it, and at the same time she secretly admired Jiang Youtao's knowledge reserves.
She made up her mind to read more extracurricular books, and she also felt that students in big cities are different. They are so young, but their abilities are so strong. If she continues to be a teacher, her future will definitely be limitless.
Teacher Li shamelessly borrowed Jiang Youtao's lesson plan. There were many things in it that she didn't understand. She wanted to understand everything in Jiang Youtao's lesson plan during this summer vacation.
Teacher Li had a hunch that if she could thoroughly understand these things, her future teaching level would probably be greatly improved.
The teachers in the office had been coveting Jiang Youtao's lesson plans for a long time. When they heard that Teacher Li asked to borrow them, Jiang Youtao agreed. They also hurriedly asked for them, and Jiang Youtao gave them generously.
On this day, the second-year teachers did not leave, especially the Chinese teachers. They bent over their desks to copy Jiang Youtao's lesson plans, and discussed them from time to time. If they encountered something they really didn't understand, they would ask her when Jiang Youtao was around.
Jiang Youtao's action made her much more popular in school.
When Gu Nianwei came back from invigilation, her lesson plans were also borrowed by the math teachers.
The two of them saw that there was nothing else for them to do, so they went straight home.
Not long after returning home, Jiang Youtao's house received wave after wave of little guests. They were all children of school teachers, and they all came to give Jiang Youtao and her family gifts.
There were homemade cakes and sweet cakes, as well as mushrooms from the mountains and vegetables from the fields. Her kitchen was filled to the brim. These were all thank-you gifts from the teachers to Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei.
It was the first time that Jiang Youtao faced the enthusiasm of the teachers, and she felt a little amused and helpless.
Gu Nianwei said: "In the next week, we will have no shortage of bread and vegetables to eat."
Not a single vegetable will be wasted these days. Just like last year, Jiang Youtao and her friends received all kinds of dried vegetables, fruits and melons from Xu Dazui and others, and they haven't finished eating them yet. If they can't finish these vegetables, pickling or drying them is a good choice.
"I hope these dishes will still be available when you come back from the capital." Jiang Youtao joked with her.
"We can't eat them anymore. They will go bad." The two women said this to Xu Manqiu while sorting the fruits and vegetables, putting those that could not be stored aside and those that could be stored for a longer time in the other side.
After dark, they had dinner, took a shower, and sat in the yard for a while. Then they heard a quarrel next door.
The three of them stopped talking at the same time and listened attentively.
It was Gu Hanqing and Liang Shufen who were arguing.
Gu Hanqing wants to get married early. She has been engaged to her partner for two years and it is time to get married, but Liang Shufen is not happy about it.
Her rebuttal was also very strange: "Your brother hasn't married yet, you can't get married earlier than him, otherwise, how will the neighbors look at our family?"
Not to mention Jiang Youtao and the others, even Jiang Youtao and the others were shocked by Liang Shufen's bizarre train of thought.
Gu Hanqing's eyes were filled with sorrow. She looked at her mother and said, "Mom, if my brother doesn't get married in this lifetime, will I have to wait at home for the rest of my life?"
Liang Shufen was immediately furious: "You have such a bad mouth, don't you wish your brother well? How could your brother never get married?"
"Your brother will surely marry a good wife soon!" Liang Shufen felt that only by marrying a woman who was better than Lin Manrou and more outstanding than Gu Nianwei next door could she wash away the injustice she had suffered.
Amid Liang Shufen's furious shouts, Gu Hanqing's voice could no longer be heard. Finally, it was Gu Hanqing's father who spoke up and stopped Liang Shufen's chattering.
After Gu Hanshen's divorce, Liang Shufen's temper was frightening. Jiang Youtao never knew that being weak and vulnerable was only one step away from being paranoid and terrible.
Jiang Youtao refilled the three people's cups with tea and shook her head as she drank.
Children raised by weak parents tend to be particularly fierce. Gu Hanqing's temperament is not one that Liang Shufen can manipulate at will.
After drinking a pot of tea, the three of them went to the toilet together. The moon had risen very high. When the three of them came out together, they saw Gu's father leaving the house in the dark.
The three of them looked at each other.
When they got home, the three of them started to chat among themselves: "It's already this late, where is Gu Hanqing's father going?"
It's already past nine o'clock, almost ten o'clock. There are no entertainment activities at the moment, and everyone goes to bed as soon as it gets dark.
At this moment, most people were already asleep, and the lights in every house in the alley were turned off except theirs.
So the question is, where did Gu Hanqing's father go in the dark?
The three people who were experienced in eating melons were instantly aroused.
Unfortunately, they were destined not to get an answer. After all, they didn't have the time to follow him.
The next morning, Jiang Youtao and the others got up early. She and Gu Nianwei first sent Xu Manqiu back to Liushugou. Xu Dazui was very happy to see Jiang Youtao and the others.
Jiang Youtao chatted with her for a while, and was a little uncomfortable not seeing Fourth Aunt Jiang, who was always with Aunt Xu Dazui. "Where's Fourth Aunt?"
Xu Dazui said, "She is at home. She twisted her leg when she went to work a few days ago, and she is recuperating at home now."
Jiang Youtao cried out, "Then I have to go see her."
Xu Dazui was busy going to work. It was very hot at this time. It was coolest in the morning when the sun was not high. "Go ahead, go ahead."
Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei rode their bikes towards the educated youth site.
The house they had built before had a courtyard wall built around it. Jiang Youtao pushed open the wooden door and found another room next to the small house they had built before. This was the room that was added by Aunt Jiang Si.
Little Shitou was playing in the yard. When he saw Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei, he was so happy that he called out "Sister Jiang" and "Sister Gu" and ran towards them.
Aunt Jiang Si, who was in the house, heard the noise and limped out.
Jiang Youtao patted Xiao Shitou's head and walked into the house one after another with Gu Nianwei. The little house had changed a lot. There were many more things than when they lived here, but Fourth Aunt Jiang was diligent and clean, and she tidied it up neatly, without a speck of dust on the floor.
"Fourth Aunt, Weiwei and I heard from Aunt Xu that you injured your leg, so we came to see you. How are you? Are you okay?"
Fourth Aunt Jiang instructed Little Shitou to pour water for Jiang Youtao: "It's okay, it's just a sprain, just rest for two days. Thank you for coming here, are you here to send Manqiu back?"
The fact that Xu Manqiu was taken to live in the commune by Jiang Youtao and her partner and was sent to school caused an uproar in the village. Some families who loved to take advantage of others regretted it and hated Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei for not having established a good relationship with them when they were in the village. Otherwise, the person they took to live in the commune would have been their child.
As the two people including Xu Dazui who have the best relationship with Jiang Youtao, they are often ridiculed by the rude old ladies in the village. The three of them never tolerate them and always scold back whoever comes to them. After a long time, no one talks nonsense in front of them anymore.
The school was on holiday these two days, and the villagers were still wondering whether Xu Manqiu would come back to work in the fields. These people were divided into two groups. One group was not satisfied with taking advantage of others. They judged others by their own experience and thought that Xu Manqiu had finally gone to the commune to become a half-city dweller, so she would definitely not come back.
But some people also think that Xu Manqiu will definitely come back. Although Xu Manqiu didn't talk much before, she is not the kind of person who forgets her roots.
Her household registration is still in the village, while Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei's household registration has been moved to the commune as they work. However, they are not related to each other, and it is already the limit for them to take care of Xu Manqiu for such a long time. If Xu Manqiu really does nothing and does not even come back to work during the autumn harvest during the winter and summer vacations, then she is destined to not stay with Jiang Youtao and the others for long.
This person is afraid of unilateral efforts that are not rewarded. Once one party gives too much and the other party returns too little, over time, the party that gives more will feel tired, and the person who enjoys the efforts of others will take it for granted.
When conflicts pile up, a breakup isn't far away.
Aunt Xu and the other two were the ones who firmly believed that Xu Manqiu would definitely come back, and they firmly believed that they had not made a mistake in choosing her.
"Yes, we just entered the village and didn't even put her things back. She followed Aunt Dazui and the others to the fields. The luggage is here with us. We brought it for her."
Xu Manqiu's house was right next to Fourth Aunt Jiang's house. When the courtyard wall was being built, Fourth Aunt Jiang asked Xu Manqiu for her opinion. They enclosed her house as well and added a small wall in the middle with a door.
But there is also a door between the two courtyards, so that it is convenient to take care of each other.
"Then you guys should send it to her house quickly. Knowing she would be back, I cleaned her room as well."
"Don't worry, we haven't seen each other for so long, let's talk first."
In the following time, Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei listened to Aunt Jiang telling them all the gossip in the village. These people were all familiar to them, and they seemed particularly cordial when they talked about them.
Among all the gossip, the one that shocked Jiang Youtao and the others the most was Zhu Yuemei's remarriage. She married an old bachelor in the village, and the two had been living together for about a month.
Fourth Aunt Jiang said, "Originally, Zhu Yuemei wanted to live with Old Wang. After all, compared to all the widowers in the village, Old Wang was the most outstanding. He was not only a good cart driver in the village, but also a good livestock breeder."
"Unfortunately, she asked someone to talk to Old Wang, but Old Wang ignored her."
Jiang Youtao thought about it and felt that it was quite normal. If Old Wang wanted to find a companion, he wouldn't have been alone for so many years.
Fourth Aunt Jiang still admired a man like Old Wang who was so loyal and righteous. Not having a good relationship with a man in this life was one of the few regrets Fourth Aunt Jiang had.
Speaking of this, Jiang Youtao asked a few more questions, and Aunt Jiang Si said indifferently: "Widow Liu has moved in with Lin Laozhuang. He has no one to hide with, so he just tried to get close to me. I ignored him. Anyway, we have lived like this in the past few years, and we can live like this in the future. Who can't live without whom?"
Aunt Jiang's feelings for her man had long faded away. She thought that if she could go back on time, she would never marry into Liushugou.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little depressing. Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei took the opportunity to say goodbye and put Xu Manqiu's luggage in her room before leaving.
Xiao Shitou walked them out of the yard.
The educated youth center was quiet. Li Yunying and the others had already gone to work. Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei did not stay long and left on their bikes.
After returning to Xingfu Lane to get the things, Jiang Youtao drove Gu Nianwei to the county town. She would take a bus from the county town to the provincial capital, and then take a bus from the provincial capital to the capital.
She would spend almost two days and one night on the train.
"Go soon and come back soon. I'll wait for you at home." Jiang Youtao sent Gu Nianwei to the car and waved at her beside her seat.
Gu Nianwei opened the car window: "Got it, go back and be safe at home."
Before she could finish her words, the bus drove away, raising clouds of yellow dust.
When the yellow soil dispersed and the car drove away, Jiang Youtao did not stay in the county town for long and rode back to Zao Township.
As soon as Gu Nianwei and Xu Manqiu left, the whole small courtyard felt empty.
Jiang Youtao rolled up her sleeves and cleaned the yard. She lay on the kang and sighed. Finally, she couldn't stand the loneliness anymore and got up and went out.
As soon as she left the yard, she was stopped by Old Lady Zhang: "Taotao, did you know that a factory is going to be built in the east of Zao Township?"
Jiang Youtao was slightly stunned: "I don't know. I haven't heard of it. Is the news accurate?"
"Why is it inaccurate?" Old Mrs. Zhang said, "The leaders all went over there this morning. Isn't there a piece of sandy land there? Planting crops there would result in poor harvests and wasting fertilizer, so they just left it uncultivated. The factory is being built there."
Zhang Yubing's wife said, "I think it was very wise for the leaders to choose Zao Township to handle the factory. The reason why Zao Township is called Zao Township is because in the early years, the jujubes here were good, big, round and red, and famous far and wide."
"In the past, every village had jujube trees growing on the hillside. But since the implementation of unified marketing in recent years, no one has taken care of the jujube trees, so they have declined."
"Besides, the yellow peaches here are no worse than those in the county town, and they are even sweeter."
"That's great." Jiang Youtao I am very happy for them. Now that the factory is built in Zao Township, the people of Zao Township will have more income.
"That's true."
The people of Zao Township are all happy about the factory being built, and everyone is very enthusiastic about discussing it.
Jiang Youtao participated enthusiastically for a while before leaving.
She went straight to the post office. Fu Shaohua did not go to the countryside for the next two days, so he was sorting out documents when Jiang Youtao went there.
Everyone was already used to her arrival, and everyone had already assumed that the two were dating. Jiang Youtao and Fu Shaohua did not give much explanation on this.
There was only one sister Zhang in the post office who was not nice to Jiang Youtao. Fu Shaohua said that when he first came to the post office, this sister Zhang wanted to introduce her niece to him as a partner, but he was not happy and was threatened.
Since then, Fu Shaohua and Sister Zhang have been at odds with each other, and they have always been at odds with each other in the post office.
Jiang Youtao helped him sort out the unsold newspapers and took a copy to read: "Have you heard about the plan to build a factory?"
"I heard about it." Fu Shaohua took out a cup he had prepared long ago and poured water for Jiang Youtao. "I estimate that in two days at most, someone will come to build a factory. The funds for building this factory are directly allocated from the city. The purpose is to make it a name card for Harbin. The jujubes in Zaoxiang and the apples and yellow peaches in Yangping are all famous. It is perfect to build a fruit processing factory in Zaoxiang."
Fu Shaohua works at the post office and is much more informed about this information than people in other places.
Without waiting for Jiang Youtao to speak, he continued, "I estimate that the city construction soldiers will be here in the next two days."
Jiang Youtao was slightly stunned: "Urban construction soldiers? Why are they here to build the factory?"
Urban construction troops are a relatively special branch of the army. Their full name is Basic Information Construction Engineering Corps. It is an engineering corps specially formed for construction. This troop does not use state funds and is responsible for its own profits and losses.
How important must this factory be to require this group of engineers to build it?
In those books, was there such a passage about Zaoxiang?
Before Jiang Youtao asked the melon-eating system, Fu Shaohua said, "This shows from the side that Harbin attaches great importance to the Zaoxiang project. I estimate that it won't be long before Zaoxiang becomes Zaoxiang County."
Fu Shaohua's words are a bit exaggerated, but they are not without reason. In this era, the benefits that a factory can bring to a place are undoubtedly huge.
"It's really an honor. We are witnessing history." Jiang Youtao said, and smiled at Fu Shaohua.
After Fu Shaohua got off work, the two of them went to a state-owned restaurant to eat dumplings. When they came out of the restaurant, several military trucks drove over from a distance, and the roar of the cars could be heard from afar.
Jiang Youtao stopped to watch. The two military trucks in front were full of soldiers, and there were five trucks behind, all of which were loaded with various machines.
When the car left, everyone's enthusiasm was ignited. No matter they knew each other or not, everyone started to discuss enthusiastically.
As they were discussing, they spontaneously followed the truck. Jiang Youtao and Fu Shaohua had nothing to do, so they walked over to watch the fun.
Seven trucks were parked on the wasteland east of Zao Township. A group of soldiers in camouflage uniforms were setting up camp. The commune leaders were talking with several officers, and Zhong Qianxi was among them.
The experimental field of the Agricultural Science Station is nearby, so it is normal for people from the Agricultural Science Station to be here. Zhong Qianxi also saw Jiang Youtao and gestured to her.
Jiang Youtao waited for a while, and Zhong Qianxi sneaked out from the group of leaders, followed by a little girl with two braids.
Zhong Qianxi introduced the two people: "Taotao, let me introduce you. This is my new friend, Meng Linyi, a nurse at our commune clinic."
"Linyi, this is my friend Taotao, who I mentioned to you before." As Zhong Qianxi finished speaking, the melon-eating system that had been silent in Jiang Youtao's mind for several days came online.
