Chapter 223 More Fun Than Big Baby
Xu Jinqiu ran all the way and finally caught the little girl before she went home. She patted her little butt twice and said, "Little Ah Hua, why did you run away when you saw your sister?"

Little Ah Hua giggled and rolled her eyes: "Sister Xiao Qiu, I was so happy to see you that I hurried back to inform Mom."

"Little clever devil."

Xu Jinqiu put the little girl down and shouted to the farmer's tile-roofed house, "Auntie Afen, are you home? I'm here to see you."

The door creaked open and a woman wearing a plaid headscarf and Bai ethnic costume came out. When she saw Xu Jinqiu, her eyes lit up.

"Xiao Qiu, when did you get here? Come in and sit down."

"She just arrived. My husband is here too. Let's wait for her for a while. Yuanyuan will also come over in a few days. I will bring her over later."

"Sister Yuanyuan is the best!" little Ahua said happily.

"I'm not okay?"

Little Ahua smiled and hid behind her mother. It is not good to force a child to lie. For a long time, Sister Xiaoqiu was a nightmare.

Every time I caught bamboo worms and firewood worms with my friends and roasted them to eat, if she saw us, she would snatch at least half of them away and even complain that they roasted them too much.

When the rice seedlings were being planted in the spring, she was still a child and mistook herself for a seedling and was planted in the rice field. The soil was even filled in the place where her legs were, so she couldn't even walk out.

……

There are countless similar things.

Now she understood that Sister Xiaoqiu just treated her as a toy. The only good thing about her was that when Beijing sent her delicious food, she would share some with her.

Zhao Yuanyuan is different. She will play with them and teach them various games. She is not like Sister Xiaoqiu, who is a bad girl.

"Little clever devil!"

Xu Jinqiu rolled her eyes, and soon she saw Chen Fan, holding two boxes of gifts in his hands: "Chen Fan, this way."

Chen Fan is not unfamiliar with this place. He came here once last year and stayed for two days. He is familiar with Aunt Afen and Xiao Ahua. When Xu Jinqiu was working in the countryside here, he was taken care of a lot.

Seeing Chen Fan coming, little Ah Hua's eyes flashed with pity. Brother Ah Peng was such a good guy, but his eyesight was not very good and he fell in love with this bad guy, the young lady.

Feeling this look, Xu Jinqiu was furious, grabbed the little girl, and patted her twice: "Sister brought a gift, I'll give it to you if you say something nice."

Xiao Ah Hua couldn't break free and could only say aggrievedly: "Sister Xiao Qiu is so nice."

"That's pretty much it."

Xu Jinqiu was satisfied and followed Aunt Afen into the house. The room was very simple. The most eye-catching thing was an old loom in the corner and an unfinished embroidery hanging next to it.

Aunt Afen poured two cups of boiling water into an enamel cup and started chatting with Xu Jinqiu. When she heard that Xu Jinqiu was going to come back to build a school, she couldn't help but feel happy.

Her little daughter Ahua is also in primary school.

Nowadays, the primary school in the village is not good. The school is located in the brigade headquarters and uses the brigade headquarters’ building, which is a row of mud houses with a blackboard and very poor lighting.

"Where are your eldest and second child? They should be in junior high school now, right?"

"No need to read, just being able to recognize the words is enough."

"Why don't you study anymore? Isn't your eldest child doing well in school? The second child isn't bad either. Even if he doesn't go to college, he can get into a technical secondary school and get a job after graduation."

Seeing Aunt Afen's embarrassed expression, Xu Jinqiu realized that he had said the wrong thing. As long as Aunt Afen could afford to send her child to school, how could she bear to let her child give up studying.

"Aunt A-Fen, our foundation has scholarships, and your family can apply for them. In the future, the foundation will fully sponsor the tuition for your eldest, second, and little A-Hua."

"Is this okay?" Aunt Afen hesitated.

"Of course you can. Just leave it to me. After the New Year, you can send the children back to school." Xu Jinqiu said with a smile.

In addition, Xu Jinqiu also mentioned something.

The three brothers Xu Jinchao, Xu Jinxia and Zhao Pengyu want to contract a project and need to recruit people locally. They can ask Uncle Agui to help and be a contractor.

After chatting for half a day, it was already noon.

Uncle Agui came back with the two children, and Xu Jinqiu explained the situation again. In a few days, he would ask Xu Jinchao and his three brothers to come over to coordinate and complete the project together.

Xu Jinqiu asked about the study of the eldest and second child, and encouraged them: "Study hard, and if you can get into Beijing in the future, I will treat you to a big meal."

"And Xiao Hua too!"

Xiao Ahua quickly dodged, and went to Beijing to take the exam. Will she be delivered to Sister Xiaoqiu as a toy? After lunch here, she asked Chen Fan to go to the village entrance first, and then took two boxes of gifts from the car. Xu Jinqiu asked Xiao Ahua to lead the way to the next house.

A rural woman with a very elegant temperament!
Chen Fan had met this person last year. His name was Liu Qing. He was a college student in the late 1960s. He was sent down here and once lived in a cowshed for reform.

Xu Jinqiu told her story.

Liu Qing's parents both died in the cowshed. She had once secretly dated an educated youth and even got pregnant, but that educated youth was irresponsible and did not dare to acknowledge her identity. Instead, he slandered her for being unchaste and said she had nothing to do with him.

Liu Qing was so disheartened that he attempted suicide by jumping into the river.

Later, she was rescued by villager Duan Min, who also liked Liu Qing. Because of this, Liu Qing married Duan Min. Even though the educated youth could return to the city, Liu Qing still stayed.

Now they have two children to raise. Although life is hard, Liu Qing is still happy and leads a peaceful life.

In the village, their family's life is not bad. Duan Min is a capable man. He goes hunting in the mountains and fishing in the rivers. He knows all kinds of mountain products very well and can generate a lot of income.

After the greetings, Xu Jinqiu explained his purpose. He wanted to invite Liu Qing to come out of retirement. A college student staying in the mountains would waste all his talents.

How could life be easy for college students in the 1960s?

Liu Qing was still studying political economics.

"I can't do it. I haven't read a book or been in contact with the outside world for more than ten years. I have forgotten a lot of things and I can't get them back." Liu Qing politely refused.

Xu Jinqiu doesn't care. The college students from more than ten years ago were still college students. There was not a single college student in her charity fund.

This person must be dug out!
Before coming to Jiangwei Village, Xu Jinqiu had already thought of the words: "Sister Liu Qing, even if you don't consider yourself, you have to consider the children, right?"

"The education here in Dali cannot be compared with that in Beijing. If the two children go to Beijing, their chances of getting into college will be much greater. We can't let them stay in the countryside for the rest of their lives, right?"

"I do need help here. You treat me like your sister. Now that my sister is in trouble, you can't just leave her alone, right?"

As she said that, she started to act coquettishly!
Liu Qing couldn't help but be tempted. When the educated youth returned to the city, she didn't go back. The main reason was that she couldn't take her husband and children with them.

She even had to get a divorce before she could go back.

Liu Qing naturally refused. From the day she married Duan Min, she had decided on this man and had no intention of changing in her life, even if she had to stay in the countryside for the rest of her life.

Seeing this, Xu Jinqiu hurriedly added: "Sister Liu Qing, after arriving in Beijing, the dormitory will be arranged. In addition, we are already building a staff building, and housing will be allocated."

Liu Qing looked at Duan Min and agreed only after seeing her husband nod. It was good for her to be able to go out, not only for herself but also for the two children.

Xu Jinqiu was very happy and asked them to pack up. He would come to pick them up in a few days. He also needed to give them time to get some certificates and then move their household registration over.

After coming out from here, Xu Jinqiu smiled happily, and even thought about taking Xiao Ahua to live in the city for a few days. Xiao Ahua was so scared that she ran away. She refused to be a toy for sister Xiaoqiu.

"Look how scared the child is. He has psychological trauma."

Chen Fan couldn't help but complain, and Xu Jinqiu responded with a roll of his eyes: "How good are you? Xiaoqiang now even suspects that he was picked up."

"Who made him stupid!"

"If you have the ability, tell Big Sister."

"forget it!"

Chen Fan hurriedly shook his head. Zeng Ali really knew how to hit people. "I don't know how many days they will play in Yunkun and when they will come over."

Xu Jinqiu raised his eyebrows and jokingly said, "Miss your big baby?"

"What big baby?"

Xu Jinqiu gestured at his chest and teased, "Still pretending? Yuanyuan, my dear, I heard it. Comrade Chen Fan, you really know how to have fun."

Chen Fan's face turned red, and he smiled bitterly: "This is just a vivid expression. How about I give you a nickname too?"

"Don't I have enough nicknames?" Xu Jinqiu laughed.

Comrade Xu Jinqiu, classmate Qiuer, roommate Qiu, Teacher Xu... I called him that all the time, especially during the internship. Every night, when he heard someone calling him Teacher Xu, this guy would get overly excited.

I don’t know where his habit comes from!

This person is not a serious person. It’s a pity that he didn’t know how to judge people when he was young. It’s too late to regret now!
Chen Fan raised his eyebrows and said, "Those nicknames are not vivid enough. I'll give you another one. I guarantee it will be more interesting than Big Baby."
