Chapter Thirty-ninth: Sixty Farmers' Mother-in-law (16)

"Mom, how can this work? Just put away the things quickly. Keep this cornmeal for yourself!

You are old, eating some fine grains is good for your health. Every child is hungry for a few meals, and it’s enough to make up for it in the next few years.”

Qiao Hua looked at the bag of at least seven or eight kilograms of cornmeal, so she waved her hand to refuse.

"If you want to hold it, just take it!

Let me tell you the truth, this cornmeal was bought in the black market, so you don’t need to have a ticket, just spend some money. My mother, I haven’t lived in vain for decades, and now I have income!

Come and see what this is!”

Qiao Mu wanted to give this cornmeal to Qiao Hua on a whim. She has been here for so long. Her eldest son has come here to ask for something once, but her second son has never met her. Only this little daughter still remembers to send some sweet potatoes in this year. If you compare it, it would be really filial.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Qiao Mu was naturally willing to give her daughter something, and at this time, she was just a matter of writing articles, so as to avoid being questioned about where the money came from when she turned around and had to eat some good things.

As he said that, Qiao Mu had already sent a reply from several literary magazines, including two deposit tickets that had not had time to withdraw money, and put them in front of Qiao Hua for her to read.

Qiao Hua looked confused, she was illiterate.

"Mom, what are these?"

"Ah? Didn't you go to a literacy class a few years ago? Why don't you know how to read?"

Qiao Mu was also a little surprised. Didn’t everyone in their village have been to literacy classes a few years ago? And she studied for half a year, why is her daughter still illiterate? She studied in the literacy class in the village for three months, and also got a graduation certificate. She knew about a thousand words and a little arithmetic.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

“This is trust!

Mom, you don’t know me. I went to the literacy class to make a living and had a meal. In the end, I didn’t get the graduation certificate for the literacy class? Most people in our village didn’t get it. Yes, you got it!

Mom, you might as well tell me directly. I don’t know these words, and I will have a headache when I see them!"

After hearing Qiao Mu say this, Qiao Hua remembered that her mother was literate. When the village was conducting literacy work in the whole village, her mother was the first to get a graduation certificate and was rewarded with a piece of soap and an enamel jar.

"This is a reply from the magazine, saying that it was the article I wrote to them. These two were certificates of deposit and came from the magazine. One was five yuan, and the other was eight yuan, which was the royalties I submitted to them!

I got the money for buying cornmeal in the black market from there. I don’t have to spend much effort every month now. I spend two or three hours a day writing articles. I can almost get 40 or 50 yuan a month, which is enough to buy food!"&1t;i>&1t;/i>

While saying that, Qiao Mu showed Qiao Hua a letter and certificate of deposit, and also pointed out the amount of money on the certificate of deposit.

"Hey, mom, I know this, this Ba and Wu know this, my god, mom, you have become a cultural person, you can write articles and make money, no worse than the scholars in the past. In the past, the scholar in the village next door had to copy books for many days to get a piece of ocean. You are... how many visitors at this moment?"

Qiao Hua counted her fingers and didn't figure out what eight plus five were. She just thought that the number should be quite large, and it must be the money of not young and old.

Qiaomu was also stunned by her praise.

Originally, Qiao Mu had a lot of preparations in her belly to explain the reasons why she could write articles. For example, after leaving the literacy class, she kept studying hard by herself. She was lucky enough to meet an old professor who gave instructions to write things, and even thought of her talent for writing articles. Who would have thought that her daughter had no doubts at all and accepted it neatly.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Is this acceptance ability too strong?

Is there no doubt?

Thinking of this, Qiao Mu immediately asked carefully:

"Don't you think there's anything strange about me being able to write articles and being able to go out and earning royalties?"

"What's wrong with this? Mom, you always said that you were very smart when you were a child. If your family was poor and had no money to go to school when you were a child, you married my father and worked hard all your life and didn't have time to study, maybe you could be a female teacher or a female professor?

I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful. You can write articles and make money after half a year of literacy classes. Oh, if I had known that I had worked hard to learn back then, maybe it would be possible!

No, those little brats at home can no longer let them play at home. They have to send them to school in the town. It is still easy for cultural people to make money, so they have to send them over!"&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Qiao Hua's thinking dispersed quickly, and soon she went from being able to write articles to making money from studying to being able to make money from studying, and she was eager to go back and find a way to send her grandchildren to the town elementary school to study.

Qiao Mu was reminded by Qiao Hua, and then he found out the past events of bragging in front of the child from the depths of his original body's memory. How could the original body be so smart? At most, it can only be considered a little wise. Sometimes when life is uncomfortable, he complains in front of his wife and the child, saying that if he hadn't been married and endure hardship, he would have been like this. The words are big, but it is probably bragging.

The reason why I worked so hard to get a graduation certificate within three months was that I wanted soap and an enamel jar. After all, those two things were worth four or five yuan at that time. The original body envied the red double-happy enamel jar from the captain's house several years ago. Now I have a rare opportunity to earn an enamel jar by myself. Of course, I have to study hard and stay up late every night.

I have to say that the bragging past and the three months of hard study in my original body are quite useful to Qiao Mu. At least, with these two past events, it would not seem so abrupt that she can write articles and make money now.

At least, it's acceptable on the surface.

If the original body had never even been to the literacy class and could not read a big word, it would be really unreasonable. However, Qiao Mu knew that the original body knew literacy, and he had known quite a few Chinese characters, so he dared to make money by writing articles.

Moreover, the articles she wrote are very paying attention to the essence of the article. They write very simple things and some things in the quotes. They will never involve things that the original body has never been exposed to in the past, nor will they write messy things like science fiction. They will only write simple local literature. This is not only not easy to have problems in this era, but also will not make others doubt it.

An old lady who came from a rural area and learned some words through literacy classes and wrote various down-to-earth rural literature. It is not a very strange thing to look at. At most, it can only be said that this old lady is diligent and studious, and she still knows how to study at such an old age.

It is also worth encouraging to spread.

Study hard and improve every day!
