These words made Xu Qiaoqiao's face turn slightly red, and after a moment she said: "Yes."
"Then what are your plans? Are you still willing to get married?" Zhang Xiaoying asked.
Xu Qiaoqiao shook her head, "Mom, I have no intention of getting married. I think it's pretty good now. With two children, I don't have to serve my parents-in-law or look at other people's faces. My children and I are very comfortable."
"There is no need to make yourself miserable because of your last relationship. If there is something good and you like it, you can still consider it. Of course, the choice is yours. No matter what you decide, I will support you."
"I know mom won't force me."
Of course, there are also people who are interested in Xu Qiaoqiao's house.
Privately, he introduced some unknown people to Xu Qiaoqiao. After Xu Qiaoqiao refused, she was scolded for being ignorant.
However, everyone knew that Zhang Xiaoying was not easy to mess with, but they didn't dare to make it public, and Xu Qiaoqiao didn't let Zhang Xiaoying know about it, so as to avoid her having to worry so much.
Zhang Xiaoying glanced at her and said, "If someone dares to harass you, don't look back and forth, just hit him. If anything happens, your mother will be there to protect you!"
"Yeah." Xu Qiaoqiao smiled, "Mom, when will the crops in the fields be harvested? I see my eldest brother running into the fields every day and not being at home very often. What did you ask him to plant?"
"You will know after the harvest, it is good stuff." Zhang Xiaoying said, "I believe you will like to eat it."
"Then I'll wait." Xu Qiaoqiao said.
The potatoes were planted in early April, and it's almost the end of June now, and it's almost the harvest season.
The weather is getting hotter day by day.
The villagers felt sorry for their children who had to go to school in the sun and rain, so they thought about building a school.
Yu Yang, who had this idea early in the morning, immediately spent money to buy bricks and tiles and other things. The villagers contributed, and now the building is almost completed.
Before starting the new school, the children's class time was also changed to morning and evening to prevent the children from getting sunstroke due to the heat.
Dafu Village has changed a lot now.
It’s not that there are more new houses or something, but that the literacy level of the villagers has improved, and they can recite a poem or two from time to time. When everyone chats, it is no longer about the rights and wrongs of the east and the west, and they are all discussing the day with each other.
What poem did he talk about again?
Zhang Xiaoying's own calligraphy skills were still not very good. She wrote a book on the prevention of common diseases and asked Yu Yang to copy it again and use it as a teaching material for Yu Yang to teach the children.
Furthermore, Zhang Xiaoying found that the villagers liked to drink raw water.
The Xu family only got rid of this habit after she forcibly corrected it for half a month.
Drinking raw water can easily make you sick, but boiling water can kill many germs and parasites, which is better for people's health.
That book also contains content on this aspect.
Zhang Xiaoying hopes to change the villagers' small living habits to reduce the number of villagers getting sick.
Of course, the villagers resisted it at first.
They thought it was too troublesome. They had been drinking like this for generations and nothing happened.
Children of every era are the same. They may be tight-lipped at home, but most children are particularly in awe of their teachers and always comply with the teacher's requests.
And many elderly people are separated from each other by generations, and they especially dote on their children. When the children talk about it over and over again, they will gradually change their minds.
But no one expected that the day after the Xu family took back all the sweet potatoes from the field, the weather suddenly changed and it rained heavily for several days.
