Chapter 542 College Entrance Examination
“Aunt Mei, in fact, here, you don’t have to go to the village to find villagers to rent private houses, and there are probably not many houses with empty houses, because everyone has converted the empty rooms into Although the accommodation fee is not too high, it is not suitable for long-term stays. "
It's not that Zhang An doesn't want to help, the main reason is that the situation in Changqing is different from other villages.
In the past two years, as every part of the village has been developed, more and more tourists have come to the village, and there are also more and more people, including fishermen.
Many villagers failed to make up their mind to convert their empty houses into B&Bs before. Now they see that others have reaped the benefits, and they have also made up their minds to follow suit.
So there are indeed not many vacant houses in the village now, and the school has recruited so many teachers, and the houses vacated by the villagers have long been rented by them.
Mei Jingya and her daughter were not locals and did not know the situation in the village, so Zhang An introduced them to them.
“But there is a very unique place in our village, which is right there, opposite where you park your car when you enter the village in the morning.”
As he said that, Zhang An pointed to the east side of the bridge. The direction of the fenced yard.
“The houses there are all independent courtyards, which were specially built for rent by the village. Aunt Mei, you are lucky. The second batch of courtyards has just been completed. If you want to live here for a long time, rent A yard is actually a good choice, much more convenient than renting a private house in the village.”
Zhang An was also worried about renting houses in the village. He had no choice but to build thirty yards with a wave of his hand.
Totaling it all together, Dongli Xiaoyuan already has fifty households, which is not a small number.
Although all twenty small courtyards were rented out last year, Zhang An had a question mark in his mind as to whether all thirty units could be rented out this year.
So Mei Jingya’s family wanted to rent a place in the village. Zhang An’s first thought was to offer the yards in the village to Mei Jingya’s family and try to rent out one of them.
Anyway, the year's rent in that courtyard seems to be just a drop in the bucket for Mei Jingya's family. After all, the donation that this person just put into the merit box is probably enough to cover half the year's rent, but they can't even see it. Didn't even blink.
And an independent yard is really suitable for them, because they can have an independent space of their own.
It’s not like renting in a private house in the village. After a long time, there will always be other bad things.
“Hey, I didn’t expect that you actually have an independent yard for rent here. This is much more convenient. I don’t know where to go through the rental procedures.”
I originally heard that When there was a B&B in this village, Mei Jingya's eyes suddenly lit up.
She planned to rent two B&Bs directly. After all, they were much better than ordinary private houses.
But in the end, she was even more surprised when Zhang An said that there was also a single-family yard for rent.
Of course, she immediately decided to rent a house without even thinking about it.
Because she had no idea how long she would live here. After all, who knew Yan Qian’s treatment would last three, five or even longer.
However, as long as her daughter's condition can be alleviated, she is willing to let her live here all the time. After all, every time her daughter gets sick, she sees it and feels pain in her heart, but there is nothing she can do.
“This is simple, just go to the village to see our village chief, pay the deposit and rent and sign the contract.”
Zhang An smiled and said, after all, there are only a few people in the village committee. There will definitely not be a rental management office, and the current scale of rental housing in the village has not reached that level.
"Azhi, I'll leave this matter to you."
Mei Jingya nodded after hearing this, and then handed the matter over to the driver Wang Zhi behind her.
“I didn’t expect such a development here. I didn’t notice it when I came here in the morning. Now that I look carefully, it seems to be very good. It should be quite comfortable to live here.”
When she entered the village in the morning, Mei Jingya only wanted to take her daughter to Zhang Yixing for medical treatment as soon as possible, so she naturally had no intention to pay attention to everything around her.
Now there is new hope for Yan Qian's condition. She seems to be alive. On the way down the mountain, there is more energy in her eyes.
Back in the village, Wang Zhi went directly to the village to find Zhang and his party to rent a yard. Zhang An invited Mei Jingya and her daughter to sit at home.
When she first entered the yard and saw the tiger cubs in the yard, Yan Qian seemed a little afraid and hid beside her mother in fear.
As a girl, it is normal to be scared when you see Xiaohu and other big dogs. Zhang An immediately drove them into the pen.
"This is your family dog. I thought it was some kind of wild beast. It has grown so tall."
In fact, it is not only Yan Qian who is afraid of the tiger cubs, but also Mei Jingya There was also some drumming in my heart.
"Yes, I used to like to go into the mountains, so I raised some that can drive in the mountains. Because I like it, I accidentally raised a few more."
Zhang An said Xiao Siqi put it on the ground and asked him to find his grandma. Then he made a pot of tea to entertain the mother and daughter.
After Wang Fang knew that a guest was coming, he washed a plate of cherries and brought it out in a short while.
After Mei Jingya and Yan Qian found out that Wang Fang was Zhang An’s mother, they immediately said hello with a smile.
After Wang Fang greeted the mother and daughter for a few words, she took her precious grandson into the house to clean up the housework.
"Aunt Mei, Miss Yan, these are the cherries that my family grew. You can eat as you like."
Now most of the cherries in Zhang An's family have been picked and given to Lu Chengla, and the tree There are only some sparse and immature ones left.
But it’s okay, you can pick some at home at any time, whether you want to eat it yourself or give it to others.
“Hey, Xiao Zhang, your cherries are so big, and they are different from other cherries. They are so delicious.” Jingya was not reserved.
And Zhang An’s cherries were really big, bigger than anything she had eaten before, so she picked up one and ate it.
But as soon as she took a bite of this big cherry, the sweet and delicious juice immediately bloomed on the taste buds on the tip of her tongue.
“I have never eaten such delicious cherries before.”
Mei Jingya, whose taste buds were conquered by the cherries, was very surprised and felt that all the fruits she had eaten before were in vain.
"Haha, it's normal that you haven't eaten it, Aunt Mei, because this kind of cherries is also available in our village."
Although Lu Cheng has directly contracted all the cherries produced by Zhang An in the past two years, but His sales scope is actually not very large.
After all, transportation is not convenient now. No matter how durable the cherries are, they cannot be transported to places too far away.
After hearing this, Mei Jingya nodded immediately, defining this cherry as Zhang An's specialty here.
When she looked back at her daughter, she found that Yan Qian actually enjoyed the cherries.
"Sissi, are the cherries from Brother Zhang's house delicious?"
This is the most delicious food she has seen her daughter eat in so many years.
“Hmm, Mom, the cherries from Brother Zhang’s house are so delicious, I can’t seem to stop.”
Yan Qian opened her small cherry mouth and took a bite of the cherry on her hand. Then he told his mother. "Xiao Zhang, how many cherries do you still have? Can you sell some to us?"
It was the first time that Mei Jingya saw something her daughter liked to eat, so she asked Zhang An to buy more without even thinking.
"Of course. Although almost all have been sold, there are still some scattered ones left on the trees."
As he said that, Zhang An also pointed to the cherry tree on the back mountain. Mei Jingya looked.
Following the direction of Zhang An's finger, Mei Jingya saw a large area of fruit trees, and just as Zhang An said, some were hanging here and there.
But Mei Jingya smiled. There really weren’t many cherry trees left on one tree, but Zhang An’s family really had a lot of cherry trees. I thought I could buy them for a while.
A short while later, Wang Zhi came back with the rental contract and a bunch of keys.
Because there was nothing in the house she just rented, Mei Jingya stood up and said goodbye to Zhang An, preparing to buy the necessary things.
This was the first time we met, and Zhang An didn't have any guests. Thinking that Yan Qian would like it, he went home and brought a few kilograms of cherries to give to them.
When sending them out, I also recommended Dingyi’s supermarket to them. After all, the quality of the items is guaranteed and the items are complete, making shopping very convenient.
Subsequently, Mei Jingya and her daughter settled down in the village.
Starting from the next day, Zhang and his party began to treat Yan Qian.
Because Yan Qian's body is too weak, she has reached the point of deficiency of energy and blood, otherwise her face would not be so pale.
So before the treatment, Zhang Yi Xing gave her some care and replenished her energy and blood before making other plans.
After all, having a good body will definitely be of great help for subsequent treatment.
Half a month later, Yan Qian seemed to be a different person. Her face was no longer the same as before, and the blood could already be seen.
What's more important is that Yan Qian's whole person seems to be radiant with vitality, she can already see the light in her eyes and there is a smile on her face.
The reason why the effect can be achieved so quickly is because the medicine Zhang and his party used for Yan Qian were grown by Zhang An himself.
On this day, mother and daughter came to Zhang An's house again.
This time, in addition to Mei Jingya, her daughter, and Wang Zhi, there was a man Zhang An had never seen before.
As soon as she entered the yard, Yan Qian left her mother and went to play with little Siqi.
"Qiqi, aunt brought you something fun."
After saying that, he took out a few small toys from his pocket and handed them to little Siqi. The little girl has changed during this time. It's really big.
During their stay in the village, they frequently visited Zhang An's house. After going back and forth, Yan Qian became familiar with Xiao Siqi.
And with Yan Qian’s toys and snacks strategy, the little guy was also very happy to play with Yan Qian.
"Xiao Zhang, let me introduce to you. This is Sissy's father. He has been unable to come over because of something at home a few days ago."
Mei Jingya is used to her daughter's behavior, but He introduced the man next to him to Zhang An.
"Hello, Zhang An, these days, Sissi and her mother are not familiar with each other in the village. Thanks to your help, a little thought cannot be considered respectful."
Yan Qian's father, Yan Peifeng, smiled very heartily and shook hands with Zhang An. It was obvious that he was a very sociable man.
After that, he handed the things in his and Wang Zhi’s hands to Zhang An.
This thing is not a sign of his heart, it is simply a great gift.
Zhang An is not a local leopard. The things they brought here are not only many, but also quite expensive. Some of them can't even be bought in the city.
"It turns out to be Uncle Yan. You are so polite. You came as soon as you came. What else did you bring?"
Zhang An led them into the yard while talking to them.
"It should be, it should be, it doesn't mean anything."
Although Zhang An is just a country boy, Yan Peifeng has no intention of looking down on him.
Because these days, he has learned some things about Zhang An from his wife and daughter. At this time, he has already treated Zhang An as a strange person.
Time flies and it’s the hot July.
For the Zhang An family, there are several special days in July.
That is from July 7th to 9th, which is the time for the college entrance examination. Zhang Bin took the college entrance examination this year.
No matter who the three brothers Zhang Jianguo, Zhang Jianjun or Zhang Jianye are, they all attach great importance to Zhang Bin's exam.
Because Zhang Bin's grades were getting better year by year during the three years he was in high school. From the very beginning when he entered the school at the tail end, he ended up among the top in the class.
Even in his senior year of high school, Wu Zhonghai was full of praise for him and even bluntly said that Zhang Bin would definitely be admitted to a university.
Ever since, after hearing these words, the three brothers' eyes were full of expectation.
Because if Zhang Bin is admitted to college this time, then the old Zhang family will have the first college student, and he will also be the first college student in the village.
In this era, this is a major event that honors the ancestors and the lintel of the family, and it must be written into the family tree.
So on the day of the 7th, Zhang An’s three aunts and Wang Fang’s third daughter gathered together and worked in the kitchen.
In addition to the meals for the whole family, they also made a separate portion, packed it in an insulated lunch box, and asked Zhang An to deliver it to the city early. This was a lunch prepared for Zhang Bin.
Because Zhang Bin’s examination room is in another school, although there are places to eat around each examination room, there are many candidates.
The family didn’t want him to finish the exam on such a hot day and have to compete with others for a place to eat, so they prepared it at home and asked Zhang An to deliver it.
In the past, Zhang An didn’t have this condition when he took the college entrance examination. Now that his family has the conditions, he can naturally do something.
What's more, Zhang Bin was selected by Wu Zhonghai, the class teacher, as a promising candidate who would definitely be admitted to college, and his family couldn't take him too seriously.
Zhang An came to the entrance of the examination room. The examination time was not over yet, but people were already coming out of the examination room.
Because unlike many years later, the college entrance examination is still allowed to submit papers in advance.
Zhang An did not discover Zhang Bin. Based on his understanding of Zhang Bin, his cousin, it was impossible to hand in the paper in advance, even if the inspection would take until the end. So he simply waited at the door.
Sure enough, when the bell rang for the end of the exam, candidates poured out of the crowd. Zhang An found Zhang Bin in the crowd at a glance.
