"Yes, go to school! Our Yu'er will not only go to school, but he will also take the examinations for the title of scholar and the title of juren in the future." Xia Qianqian said loudly, "Grandma, if you don't have the ability to support him to study, just return him to us and we will support him!"
Grandma Xia laughed even more exaggeratedly: "You little bitch, you are good at bragging, but what's the point of just talking? Can you come up with the money?"
"There will be money. Once I sell the tiles, I'll have money!" said Xia Qianqian.
"Oh, selling tiles? Who would be willing to buy your broken tiles? No one would want them even if you give them away for free. Is that right, fellow villagers?" Grandma Xia laughed.
Everyone had seen Xia Qianqian's tiles yesterday. They were really terrible. They broke at the touch. They wouldn't even want them if they were given to them for free. So everyone laughed. They saw that the thirteen-year-old Xia Qianqian was the type who was full of boasting and loved to show off.
"Who said I can't do it? Today I'll do it for you to see!" Xia Qianqian was in need of someone to advertise, so she immediately started shouting, "If you didn't see enough of the excitement yesterday, follow me now!"
Grandma Xia was the first to go in front. She didn't see the excitement yesterday, so she wanted to see it today.
Yang and Song followed behind her. Although they disliked each other, they endured it temporarily and continued their argument when they got home.
When Xia Dinghai returned to the village last, he found that all the villagers had gathered at Xia Qianqian's tile kiln. He beat up Xia Yu, threw him at home, and ran to mingle with the crowd to watch the fun.
With yesterday's experience, Xia Qianqian was determined to succeed today. She prepared the firewood first, asked Uncle Liu to help burn the kiln, and she circled around the kiln.
To others, she was just fooling around and being mysterious. But she knew that whether the tiles would be successful today depended on her eyesight! If the furnace temperature did not fluctuate too much, the tiles would be successful. If the furnace temperature fluctuated too much, the tiles would be ruined.
In front of everyone, it would be a lie to say that there was no pressure at all. Xia Qianqian stared at the fire in the stove and ordered Liu Bo from time to time: "Remove the firewood! Add more firewood!"
This went on and on, and no one knew what she was doing, not even Uncle Liu, who just did what she told him to do.
Finally the engine was turned off. Xia Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief and said to Uncle Liu with a smile, "Uncle Liu, you can rest now."
"Do you need my help to open the kiln?" Liu Bo nodded to the side. Today was more lively than yesterday, and the whole village came. He was afraid that Xia Qianqian would fail and would not be able to deal with the ridicule of others.
Xia Qianqian said, "No, you can go home and have a drink of water, then come back after dinner. It's still early to open the kiln."
"good."
Xia Qianqian walked around the kiln for a long time, and her legs were tired, so she sat on the ground and called out to the villagers: "It's tiring to watch the excitement, everyone sit down for a while!"
The onlookers were all so embarrassed.
Liu Bing, who had helped Xia Qianqian with work before, came over and whispered, "No matter what the result is later, don't cry."
"Don't worry, I won't." Xia Qianqian smiled. In fact, she hadn't cried for a long time. What's the point of crying? It can't solve the problem, and she can't go back to the modern world anyway.
A flock of geese flew by in the sky, and they formed a V-shaped formation under the leadership of the leader goose. With the leader goose leading the way, the geese behind can make the most of the spoiler when flying, saving a lot of energy.
In the past, Gu Yanjing was her leader. Now, she has become someone else's leader. What a retribution!
Gu Yanjing, what are you doing at this moment
Xia Qianqian would never have imagined that at this moment Gu Yanjing was on the mountain across the river, holding a telescope and watching her from afar.
