Third uncle often ate dinner in the rural areas around eight o'clock. Qi Yuan sat next to his grandfather's house for a while, then went to his third uncle's house to call out, while his third uncle's family's Qi Run Qi Tao put down his bowl and went over to his grandfather's side to play. His grandfather found the melon seeds he bought for smoking, then went to the kitchen to pick up a large watermelon. What school did your sister go to? "

Qi Yinfeng said, "Big sister didn't say that."

Grandfather said, "Don't ask me when you get back. Your sister must be worried about getting angry when she doesn't have a good results from the exam. If we continue asking questions, your sister's heart will feel even worse."

Qi Yinfeng said, "Grandpa, I know. I told my mother too. "

Qi Xiang felt sour hearing this. It was better to have his own family. He thought everything through for himself, so he stood under the pomegranate tree in the yard and stomped his feet heavily into the house.

Seeing that it was getting late, Qi Chang took his younger brother and sister to bid farewell to his grandfather, and his grandparents sent their sisters to Hu Tong. After bidding farewell to his grandfather and grandma three times, Qi Xiang finally rode his bicycle home.

The road from Grandma's house to the north was a gravel road, which was only used for asphalt only after walking for dozens of meters. Although it was a village station, the street lamps were only used for the New Year holidays. At the end of the lunar month, there were only countless bright stars shining in the sky. The road stretched far away, and by the light of shops on the side of the road, the four sisters were slowly walking home.

When they arrived at the back of the house, Mama Qi was enjoying the cool air with the neighbors. She greeted her younger brother and sister and went home with Mama Qi. Seeing that the girls had already put away their cars, she asked Qi Jian, "Tan, did you bring Long Long and the others to the reservoir to play at noon today?"

Qimu didn't say anything, but Mama Qimu said, "It's not like there's an adult around at noon, what if a child falls into the water? Look at Long Long's family! Isn't everyone just a child? It was the treasure of several generations of people. How could you give them an explanation if something happened to them? How can I explain it to your dad? "

Qi Yuan saw that Qi Ma was angry, so he found a Mazza to tell her to sit down. He poured a glass of water and placed it on the tea table beside her and said, "Mom, don't be angry, let's have a good talk with Kusanagi. Kusanagi is a good kid, she will definitely listen to what you say."

Qi Xiang winked at Qi Xiang as he spoke. Qi Xiang was very clever, so he quickly reassured his mother, "Mom, don't worry. I won't take them to mess around with me anymore. Definitely."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Mom, why don't I get a class downstairs in this room after my family finished feeding me the fertilizer. Since the neighborhood kids like to hang around, I tied them up at home to study, and read a few words with them, so I think the neighbors' aunts and uncles should be very welcoming."

Qi Yinfeng nodded his head and said, "I think it's fine. All the kids in the city attend all kinds of tutorial classes during the summer holidays. We don't have too much to pay attention to in the countryside. We can just help them look at their kids, read their characters, and tell them stories."

Qi Xiang hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes. Just like when we were young, my sister brought us to visit their homes to be teachers. But to help them look after their children, we have to make them pay. We can't just work for nothing."

Mama Qi was so angry that she chuckled, "Qi Can, I'm criticizing you, your way of diverting your attention is really good."

Qi Yu quickly lowered her head. Qi Yuan also said, "I see that the source of life is very rich. If we were to wave the flag, it should be done according to the circumstances."

Qi Jian whispered, "It's sour, he really knows how to show off."

Mama Qi thought for a while and said, "That's fine too, let's hurry up and feed the corn. After we feed the fertilizer, there will be no more work to do. You four siblings can go and work on your own."

While sleeping, Qi Yimeng said with a bulging voice, "Every time, I'm the one who gets scolded. There are some things that are Qi Yuan's idea."

Qi Xiang secretly laughed. He didn't dare to let Qi Tan hear that his younger brother had the potential to be a dark villain since he was young.

He had already decided to hold a tutorial class. The next day, he took his three siblings and tidied up the big house downstairs. This room had a back door, and the buildings facing the street were all designed in this way. Many families did their own small business, and others rented out the rooms. The Qi family lived in the westernmost part of the village, which was a little desolate, with no one renting the house for them. There was also a thick wooden board at home. He found a few long wooden bars and nailed his legs. Ding Ding Dang Dang Dang. After a while, a large table with a decent view of the table was newly made. The table was not high, so when the child came, he could bring Maza to sit with him.

Looking at the new atmosphere of the room, the sisters let out a long sigh of relief. The next problem was to think of a way to enroll new students. They couldn't just go one by one and tell others that they wanted to set up a tutorial class.

The four of them spent an entire afternoon working on it before finally producing a student recruitment note. The fee was set at three yuan per person per day. After that, they divided the money among themselves and wrote it out on ten pieces of paper.

Three yuan was a pitiful amount in the eyes of the future generations, but in the countryside at that time, three yuan wasn't a small amount. When they were all in university, they could eat three meals a day for three yuan, so it was very suitable for this price.

There weren't many children around. He planned to go to his uncle's factory to advertise, as well as the children of the employees working at home. He was worried that the parents would not be at home.

It was already the end of July, and there wasn't much time left for summer vacation. After talking to his mother for a while, Mama Qi considered it and said, "Let's hurry up and eat, after dinner I'll go to Yonghua's house on the street and tell them to deliver two bags to us first thing in the morning. Our mothers can probably deliver more than half of the bags to us in the morning."

Even though they were all children who were half grown, they could take care of things in the rural areas. How could a child from a poor family not be in charge?

It was a quiet night, and the next day at dawn, Mama Qi went upstairs to wake Qi Chang and her sister. The work on the slope in the summer was done in the early hours, especially during this time when the long leaves of the corn, which were more than half the height of a person, were sticking out after the sun had risen. It was difficult to pull the edges of the corn while the leaves were still in the dew, so she went to work in the fields before the sun rose.

Qi's home was located on the plains, and most of the rations were winter wheat. After planting the corn, they would dig a small hole next to each tree and put fertilizer in it before covering it with soil. After that, they would stomp on it with their feet, so it wasn't an easy task for them to manure the corn.

In the village, the people who sold fertilizer were from their own village, so they knew where each family lived, so most of the fertilizer was sent to the village. When the children and mother went to the fields, Yonghua, who sold fertilizer, had not yet sent the fertilizer, while Qi Chuan and his mother each took a head and dug a pit in front of them. Qi Yanzhong and Qi Kaiyuan each took a washbasin and filled it with fertilizer.

From the looks of it, it would take mother five days to finish all five of the three acres of land. There was a particular way to dig a pit. If one couldn't get close, then the fertilizer would burn the corn. If one couldn't get far, then getting far away from the corn was a waste of effort. There was a slight chill in the midsummer morning, especially in the fields full of green plants, where a small part of the field was dug, and when someone on the ground called to Mama Qi, saying that the fertilizer had been delivered, he stopped to beat them, wiped his sweat off with a towel draped around his neck, and continued to work at a fair pace. By the time they reached the ground, they had caught up.

Occasionally, one would see a straw hat or two floating in the middle of it. It was a little after seven in the morning, and the sun had already risen for a long time. After digging, Mama Qi would return and walk for a bit longer.

The dew on the corn had dried, and the summer sun had brought out its power. The leaves were no longer stiff, and they occasionally brushed against his face and arms. Around nine in the morning, the round trip finally finished. Mama Qi was already packing up her things on the ground. A few villagers would even stop to chat after finishing their work.

Qi Yuan went to the garden to pick some ripe tomatoes and a few cucumbers. Qi San was in the yard, boiling water in an aluminum kettle, and Qi Feng and Qi Chang were in the kitchen, distilling steamed buns, making tomato and egg soups, and mixing cucumbers. The meal was simple, and it didn't take long for the two common dishes in the countryside to be prepared. After the meal, Mama Qi and the four children cleaned up the table.
