"Yeah, Guoan, you take care of Miaomiao, it's just a meal, and we're not picky about it. Why do you fix so many dishes? You still have to live. Save the good things and eat slowly."

Old man Li also said that he knew his daughter's heart, and he was afraid that Pei Guoan would have an opinion on her because of this. There are a lot of people who eat bran and swallow vegetables these days. Such a big deal.

Sending so many things back to her natal family before is not counted, but today it costs so much, the son-in-law must not think that his daughter is a prodigal woman.

"Dad, today is the first year we have separated. It's rare to invite you to a New Year's dinner. If Miao Miao is not willing, I will not be happy. Don't worry, Miao Miao and I are both in charge of the company now. Let's have a meal." It’s not too good to be unbearable.”

What old man Li wanted was Pei Guoan's attitude. Hearing what his son-in-law said, he felt very comfortable, and he was completely relieved of his daughter.

"Yeah, dad, brother, everyone has subsidized me all these years, and thank you sisters-in-law for their tolerance. I used to be so ignorant, and my sisters-in-law didn't bother with me. It's just a meal, so I can't afford to invite you anywhere. Just eat, my culinary skills are not what they used to be, I promise to make you satisfied."

"My aunt's dishes are delicious, even more delicious than grandma's."

"You stinky boy."

With wine and food, and such an atmosphere, everyone enjoyed a New Year's dinner.

"Don't tell me, Miao Miao's culinary skills have been practiced, and they are even more delicious than those cooked in the big canteens in the city."

After dinner, everyone gathered for a while in the afternoon before breaking up.

After returning to the room, Li Miaomiao looked at the bags on the ground and opened them to look.

"Inviting them to a meal makes them subsidize me instead."

Li Miaomiao's family has always been generous to her. Now that she has separated again, even if she brings things over, it will not be cheaper for others. What's more, because of the food delivery before, the third sister-in-law and the fourth sister-in-law are grateful. This time they are extraordinarily generous. And fresh apples and malted milk, and jars of meat and a box of chocolates.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law and several elder brothers have always loved you, we must remember this friendship."

Li Miaomiao nodded. Naturally, she had to remember that she took all these things and food for the time being. Thinking of next year's situation, she would first collect the food for her natal family and send it back when food was in short supply.

Time flies, and it is almost the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye, and everyone's life is gradually returning to the right track.

In addition to the soap factory, the most important thing in the village is the school. The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the start of school. Before that, they have to make preparations. These days, Li Yanan and the teachers of the school are busy around.

"Village Chief, I heard that Zhaojia Village will start school on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, one day earlier than us, and their tuition fees are lower than ours. Our school charges four yuan for tuition, and they only charge three yuan."

Accountant Wu also received a message at this time.

"People in Zhaojia Village just love to compete with our village. I heard the news that Zhao Qingming even put a guarantee in front of the secretary and the county magistrate, saying that the school will definitely be better than our village."

Although what happened last time, it was still Pei Guoan who tried to help Zhaojiacun through the difficulties, otherwise so many bricks and tiles could not be sold, and Zhaojiacun would not have a good year.But things have passed, and the people of Zhaojia Village still like to compete with Fanglin Village.

"Village chief, what should we do? Why don't we start school one day earlier and lower the tuition fee, anyway, our village is not short of this tuition fee now."

Now that there is a soap factory in the village, the people in the village are more confident, and they don't want to be compared with the people in Zhaojia Village.

"No need, let's do ours. Why bother to compete with the people in Zhaojia Village? We run the school for the children in the village. Anyway, the children in our village will not go to their Zhaojia Village. The conditions for coming to our village are also in Zhaojia Village. In comparison, Zhaojia Village doesn’t have learning materials from the provincial capital, and all the school facilities in our village are brand new.”

"Uncle Degen is right. Even if we want to compare, we have to compare the children's academic performance. It doesn't matter how many people there are in the school. The school in our village is built by ourselves. Unlike Zhaojia Village, it is funded by the public. , you don’t need to tell anyone. What you really need to do is to let the children study hard and use their grades to slap Zhaojiacun in the face.”

Li Miaomiao walked in with Li Yanan from the outside
"What Miao Miao said is great, that's it! What we want to compare is not these, but the quality of teaching, so that the children in our village can really learn something. These are more important than any publicity."

"That's very good, you should also remember that our village runs schools for the purpose of making the children promising, not to fight against others. Only when the children are promising can our village have hope and life can really pass. it is good."

Accountant Wu nodded in agreement when he heard the words: "The village chief is right. Let's not follow the example of Zhaojia Village. It is true to live a good life. There is no need to fight for a while."

In this way, everyone unified their opinions and did not make changes to the previously decided things, but they were suffocated in their hearts, and they still wanted to compare Zhaojiacun.

Zhaojia Village directly reduced the tuition fee by one yuan, which still has some impact.

After all, in the countryside, one yuan is really a lot. Where to study is not to study. Many people originally planned to let their children study in Fanglin Village, so they temporarily decided to go to Zhaojia Village.

"How is it? Are there many people who signed up today?"

Zhao Qingmin asked the principal, but the principal frowned, feeling that Zhao Qingmin was interfering with the school a little too much.

Because the school in Zhaojia Village was run by the county, the principal was also transferred from above, and he didn't wear the same pair of pants as Zhao Qingmin.

The headmaster is a somewhat lofty old man. He originally regarded Zhao Qingmin as the captain of Zhaojia Village, and respected him a little bit, but Zhao Qingmin interfered with the school's affairs too much, and the headmaster was not happy.

"In the countryside, it's not bad if there are so many people who sign up to study. Captain Zhao, if you don't understand school things, don't ask too much."

"Principal Su, this is Zhaojia Village. I am in charge of the affairs of Zhaojia Village. Besides, I have promised the secretary and the county magistrate that if we want to run the school well, how can we ignore the school's affairs!"

Principal Su's face was a bit ugly when he heard this. He was not happy to come to such a rural place. If it wasn't for his good resume, he would be the principal after all, and he would never come if there was an adverb missing in front of it.

Principal Su also knew what Zhao Qingmin promised to the secretary and county magistrate, and felt that Zhao Qingmin was too nervous: "I heard that the principal of Fanglin Village is a young educated youth who has no experience as a teacher before. Captain Zhao, what are you doing?" What are you worrying about, can I still be inferior to a lesbian who doesn't understand anything?"
