Chapter 127 There Should Be Some Applause Here
Everyone looked at Liang Xinyue and Zou Wenqing.
Zou Wenqing also smiled and looked at Liang Xinyue:
"Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I will do what I can do."
Liang Xinyue pointed to a group of kids who were still picking wild vegetables on the ground and said:
"Except for the two brothers Liu Liang and Liu Hong who are studying abroad, these children are almost grown up and it's time for them to go to school. But this place is too far from the town. There's not even a primary school, let alone a kindergarten."
"Dongdong is six years old, Yaya is five years old, Wangzhi is four years old, and the others are younger, but they should all be in kindergarten. But we don't have one here. Can you plan it out and teach the children some simple things every day?"
Zou Wenqing glanced at Liang Xinyue twice. She had so many things to worry about.
It wasn't that Liang Xinyue was suspicious. She seemed to understand Zou Wenqing's thoughts. She smiled faintly and said:
"After you stay here for a while, you will find that these children are very smart, but because we stay in this mountainous area, the children have lost the opportunity to go to school."
"Sister Yang's two children are old enough to live independently, so they can go out to study. If you send these younger ones out as well, it's not realistic for them to walk dozens of miles every day."
"When I see them now, I think about my children's future. If my children are like this, they will have to wait until they are ten years old before they can start to study, which may be too late."
Zou Wenqing looked at the children who were happily picking wild vegetables over there, fell silent, then turned around and looked at the older sisters who were looking at him with hope and pleading eyes.
Zou Wenqing suddenly felt that he should really do something.
Their husbands are soldiers serving the country, and they all came here with the army because they could no longer make ends meet in their hometowns. However, here they can only be together as a family and take care of each other, but the children's education is indeed a problem.
Zou Wenqing thought for a moment and said:
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. I'll find a way to deal with this. I'll write back tonight and ask my classmates to get me some textbooks and other things. I'll do my best."
Fu Chunhua came over, pulled at her clothes that were a little crooked from working, and said with a choked voice:
"Xiao Zou, I... I don't know how to thank you! His father is not well educated. We want to teach him, but we can't. The child is about to turn seven. I... I really thank you!"
As he spoke, he bowed to Zou Wenqing. Tian Mingfang and Huang Ying also bowed. Tian Mingfang also said:
"In the future...if you have any problems in the future, just tell us and we will do the work, and you can help us teach the children."
Fu Chunhua also said:
"That's right. You can't do things like chopping wood, so I'll do it. Don't worry, I have the strength to work, but I don't have the education. You are the Yan Ruyu among us."
Having said that, he turned to look at Liang Xinyue and said:
"Xinyue, is that right?"
Liang Xinyue laughed loudly and told Zou Wenqing about Yan Ruyu.
Zou Wenqing also laughed and said:
"I have never taught children before, so I have to take it slow. But I will try my best."
Liang Xinyue smiled and said:
"I agree with what Sister Tian and Sister Fu said just now. We are the only families in this family compound. Each of us has our own abilities. Wenqing is educated, so we will leave all the things related to education to her, such as teaching the children and keeping accounts. We can farm and collect firewood, so we will do these things."
"Each of us should do our best to make life better for everyone and for the children in our yard. This is our hope."
Zou Wenqing suddenly felt that Liang Xinyue was very capable as a leader. She was clearly concerned about everyone's affairs, but she did not take any credit for anything.
Although there is no power division among everyone, it can be seen that these sisters-in-law all listen to her.
When he got home in the evening, Gu Sanding brought back food from the cafeteria for Zou Wenqing. During the meal, Zou Wenqing mentioned Liang Xinyue's proposal. Gu Sanding stood up suddenly when he heard it:
"Really? You promised?"
Zou Wenqing thought he had made a wrong promise, and said a little uneasily:
"Should I not agree?"
Gu Sanding laughed and said with shining eyes:
"Wenqing, when you came here with me, I told you that life here is very hard. Compared to the city, there is nothing here."
"I never lived in this family compound before. I always lived in the regiment's duty room. It was the same before Lao Zhou married my sister-in-law. We squeezed into the duty room every day, and it was always deserted when we came back."
"After Lao Zhou returned to his hometown and brought his sister-in-law with him, our family compound began to change. In the past, each family really just stayed in their own home and never thought about helping each other. The main reason was that no sister-in-law took the initiative to stand up and break the peace."
"Since Sister Xinyue came, the compound has gradually become lively and it really feels like home. The children also play together."
"So, when you said you wanted to come and take a look, if it was before my sister-in-law came, I really wouldn't dare to bring you here. I'm sure you wouldn't like this place."
As he said this, he walked up to Zou Wenqing, looked straight at him and said:
"But, Wenqing, you have to think clearly. If you agree to this, you have to be responsible, and you also have to be responsible... for me. Stay and let's get married!"
Gu Sanding looked at Zou Wenqing. Zou Wenqing agreed to come along and take a look. When he came, he did not say that he wanted to stay. But now with the help of Liang Xinyue, Gu Sanding knew how to seize the opportunity and proposed to her immediately.
Zou Wenqing is a person with strong opinions. In fact, when she agreed to follow Gu Sanding, she had already agreed in her heart.
But as a girl, I didn’t say it directly.
Gu Sanding looked at her hopefully, and she blushed and nodded slightly.
Gu Sanding was so happy that he reached out and picked up Zou Wenqing and spun around.
“There should be some applause here!”
Suddenly there was a sound on the wall, followed by a burst of applause.
Gu Sanding looked sideways while holding the person, and saw a row of heads lined up on the wall: Zhou Guoliang, Liang Xinyue, the waiter sitting on the wall being hugged by Liang Xinyue, Yaya being held by Lao Xiao, and of course, Lao Xiao.
The one who was speaking was Lao Xiao, and the two children clapped the most enthusiastically.
Zou Wenqing felt embarrassed and held out his hand to support Gu Sanding:
"let me go."
Gu Sanding only then realized that he was still holding the person.
He put the man down, stood up and saluted Zhou Guoliang:
"Captain, I'm applying for marriage, please approve it."
"Approved, approved. You are too slow. Come back and fill in the application form. Xinyue, now you have a new task. Help them plan a wedding."
Liang Xinyue laughed and said:
"That's no problem. The two newlyweds, think carefully tonight about what kind of wedding you want. Come talk to me separately tomorrow and I'll take care of it."
