Chapter 48 48.1986
The past six months have passed so smoothly, and Ning Qiu will occasionally cook up some fresh food to increase some extra income for the family.

Among them, steaming cakes is the most successful. Making cakes sounds more troublesome, but in fact it is just a few more steps and more effort.

For example, add an appropriate amount of starch to ordinary flour to make bottom gluten flour, and beat egg whites.The cake made is soft and sweet, but no one can say that it is not delicious after tasting it.

Because of this cake, the Ning family also made a small profit.This time, I can make more money than selling oil dumplings and potato cakes. The main reason is that not everyone can learn this skill. As long as there is a little mistake in the middle, it is difficult to make a perfect steamed cake.

There are people in the village who want to learn, and they seem to be able to do it, but when they go home, they have problems. Only Ma Hongmao's daughter-in-law persisted in the end.

It's not easy for the Ning family to collect tuition fees if it can't be done, and of course those people can't sell it in the county.

In the end, Ning Qiu made a note.The finished products made by my own family are sold cheaply to the villagers, and they are then sold in the county town, which is regarded as wholesale.

In this way, the Ning family did not have to travel back and forth to the county town every day.And the eggs in the village were also collected by the Ning family to make cakes. The villagers bought the cakes and sold them in the county.This mutual benefit, no one suffers.

In addition to cakes, popcorn cakes, sugar-fried chestnuts, crispy rice, etc. have also joined the ranks of wholesalers.

The days at home are getting better and better. The whole family is smiling and full of energy every day.

The weather is warming up and the calendar has turned to April.

Zhu Ximei went back to the house and took out a wooden box with a lock from the kang cabinet.She took the key from her neck and opened the cabinet.In the cabinet were more than a dozen certificates of deposit from the Great Unity and several credit unions, and a rough count turned out to be less than a thousand.

Thinking about what Qiu told her before, I wanted to give Zhang Heping a sewing machine.The old lady took the [-] certificate of deposit and planned to give it to her son at night.

After dinner in the evening, Zhu Ximei called her son into the house and gave him several deposit slips.

"Mom, what are you doing for me?"

"I wanted to buy a sewing machine for He Ping years ago, but at that time I was sick and stayed in the hospital for a few days. Now I'm fine, and my family has income every month. I'm old, and I don't know where to sell that sewing machine. Just give the money to He Ping."

"It doesn't cost five hundred to buy a sewing machine."

"What are you talking about? If there is no you and your wife in the family, how can the business be done. People go to the factory to work and get salary bonuses. It's the same at home. The money is for you. You have four children. I'm afraid it won't be enough when the child grows up."

Ning Cheng was thinking about the four children. After one year in the first grade, it would cost 20 yuan, and even more in the second and third grades. Four children are indeed a big burden.

"Okay! Mother, I'll accept it, and you have to keep some by your side, in case something happens, you can deal with it."

"My mother has lived a long time, so it's up to you to talk about this kind of thing."

In the evening, Ning Cheng handed the certificate of deposit to his daughter-in-law.

Zhang Heping looked at the amount on the certificate of deposit in surprise, "This...is all from your mother?"

"Well, my mother said that we are also responsible for the family's making money. Of course, we get half of it. And we have four children, and the burden is heavy. The money should be given to a few children."

"But this... is too much?"

"Mother said, I originally wanted to buy a sewing machine for you, but you haven't given you any good things since you got married, so now I've made up for it."

Suddenly remembering about her natal family, Zhang Heping's expression was complicated.

"what happened?"

Zhang Heping hesitated what to say, thought about it and finally said it.

"A few days ago my mother came to me and wanted to ask me how to make some food."

Seeing Ning Cheng frowned, she continued. "You also know that my natal elder brother has four daughters, and my third younger brother is also two girls. There is no boy in the family. Now that my sister-in-law and younger sister-in-law are pregnant, the little money in the family will not come together."

"Why don't you discuss it with your parents tomorrow."

"This is about my mother's family. How dare I tell my mother."

"What's the matter, I'll tell my parents tomorrow."

After hearing about it from their son the next day, Zhu Ximei and Ning Hongfu did not object.

"Help if you can. He Ping's family is not close to each other in Anhe County. But steaming cakes is not easy to learn, and I don't know if they can learn it well. Or teach the other two, learn it. You can go to the streets to do business, and you can make money."

"Alright! Just do as Mother tells you."

The matter was settled like this, Zhang Heping went back to her mother's house that day, and taught the family how to eat.

She was not willing to spend the money she got from Zhu Ximei to buy a sewing machine, but saved it for the children to use for their future studies.

Time flies, and the calendar turns to 1986.

This year is worth remembering for the children and parents who are studying.Since this year, the country has implemented a new education policy, which is a timely rain for those children from poor families who want to go to school.

This year, the number of children registered in Fuyuan County Primary School has increased by one-third compared with previous years, and a large part of them are children who dropped out of school because they could not pay the tuition fees.

The children who entered the school this year were all older, the oldest were eleven or twelve, and the youngest were eight or nine years old.

Most of the children are excited to go to school, and the teachers in the school are dedicated, regardless of age.

Ning Qiu still played the role of a good student in the class step by step. Besides, she often went to the teacher's office to borrow newspapers to read.The teacher only thought that the child was trying to learn Chinese well and increase his vocabulary.

In fact, she did it to understand the current national situation and some major measures implemented. After all, she was abroad in her previous life and did not know much about domestic changes.

From these newspapers and magazines, Ning Qiu really found a lot of valuable things.

"Don't run! Where are you going!!"

"Stop her!"

"I got her!"

"Run away! You dirty bastard!"

"Yes! Dirty things! Pooh! Spit in your face!"

"Let her eat mud!! Yes! Stuff it in her mouth!"

Ning Qiu, who was borrowing newspapers in the corridor outside the teacher's office, couldn't take it anymore. She put down the newspapers, climbed onto the stool, and poked her head out of the window to look down.

The teacher's office is on the second floor, and four or five boys in their teens downstairs are grabbing a girl and pressing her head into the mud.

The girl was powerless to resist, her body was curled up, her head was covered with her hands, and her whole body was pressed into the mud.

A boy was lying on the ground, looking at the girl with his head tilted.

"She kept her mouth shut! She didn't eat mud!" The boy seemed to have discovered some big secret, and he jumped up and told his companions excitedly.

"Open her mouth and stuff the mud in!"

The other boys quickly turned the girl's body over, and a boy grabbed the girl's hair with his hand and pulled it up violently.

The girl groaned in pain, but still stubbornly maintained her original posture.
