From Cultivator to Widow - Chapter 101

Lin Jingnan was excited when he heard Su An’s words, and then he quickly ran to the town’s post office, he couldn’t wait.

He desperately wanted to know if the admission letter was his.

Seeing his back running away, Zhang Weiguo asked his mother, “Didn’t you see whose admission letter belongs?”

Su An blinked: “I really didn’t see it.”

Zhang Weiguo sighed, but at the same time he couldn’t deny that it was fun, but he couldn’t say it, and if he said it, he would be taught by Lin Jingnan.

But it didn’t take long for him to take the college entrance examination. He seemed to be able to foresee that he would also look nervous like Lin Jingnan.

This admission notice was not from Lin Jingnan. The post office people saw him like this and told him that if the admission notice was delivered, they would send someone to deliver it as soon as possible, to reassure him.

Lin Jingnan didn’t speak, but in his heart: I hope you can delay for a while, and then let me get my admission letter smoothly this time.

It’s really annoying to have to wait any longer.

Wen Xueqing can finally leave. He is in the same batch as the colleagues who came here with him.

Guan Shaoli specially came to deliver the good news.

Zhang Weiguo happily revolved around him: “Grandpa Wen, it’s okay now, you can go back to your home.”

Wen Xue turned his hands behind his back, he didn’t want to lose face in front of the younger generation, his hands were shaking uncontrollably, which was not acceptable.

He tried hard to calm the expression on his face: “Okay, but you have to do your best, I will wait for you in the capital, in another half a year, I will wait for you for half a year, then don’t tell me any accidents The situation, can’t come.”

He used to be a professor at Capital University, but now he has resumed his position, and he is still a professor at Capital University. If Zhang Weiguo is admitted to Capital University, he may still be a teacher for him.

“Tell me, which school do you want to apply for? Is it my school?” Wen Qing glared at him.

He knew Zhang Weiguo’s level, if he hadn’t been admitted to Capital University, he should have scolded him.

Zhang Weiguo scratched his head: “Even if you say that, I can’t give you a certainty right now.”

“But I’ll try my best, you can check at any time.”

Wen Wenqing snorted twice: “I’ll be there at any time, and I’ll tell her from your mother’s side, when I arrive, I’ll write to you, and now while I’m still here, I’ll give you some If you think about it, it’s not easy.”

Guan Shaoli smiled and looked at Zhang Weiguo, whose face was slumped, and looked very relieved. He touched Zhang Weiguo’s hair: “Come on, go to the capital!”

…

I just received the good news, so I can’t just leave immediately, and I have to go through the corresponding procedures.

However, the procedures were also fast, and Guan Shaoli also helped to run.

When they were about to get on the train, Su Hui came to see him off: “There should be a lot of things after we go back, don’t get angry, these days are over, and the days will be long, sooner or later, we will all go to the capital. , we will meet again at that time.”

“What are your plans?” Su Hui said, and Wenqing asked her what she planned.

Su An said it lightly: “When they have a few college entrance examinations, try to choose the capital, and then I also go to the capital and develop there.”

Zhang Weiguo and the three of them instantly felt the pressure.

What if they didn’t get into the capital’s schools? You can’t slack off in learning.

Zhang Weiguo: “Grandpa Wen, help us pay attention to any study materials you see. If it’s too expensive, forget it. If it’s cheap, help us put it up first.”

Mom had high hopes for them, and they couldn’t hold back.

Wen Wenqing simply smiled and agreed: “No problem, I’ll be waiting for you in the capital.”

Admission notices are delivered in batches by school.

Unlike later generations, you can check your scores in advance to check whether you are admitted. If they fill in the volunteers here in advance, if they accidentally overestimate the score and the actual score is not enough, then they can only miss the completed school. If the target school you fill in is too low and you get a high score in the test, there is no way to change it. You have already submitted your wishes, and you can only go to the school you filled in before.

On this day, Lin Jingnan was at work, absent-minded, when he suddenly heard someone calling his name loudly.

He looked up and saw that it was Zhou Xiaolei, his face full of excitement, followed by a postman holding a bicycle.

Seeing this scene, Lin Jingnan thought of something, and his heart jumped up. He covered his chest, worried that it was about to pop out. He opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he couldn’t. Patting his chest, he was finally able to speak, his voice was dry: “You call, call me, I, I am here.”

Zhou Xiaolei and the others quickly came to him. The postman smiled and took out an envelope from the bag he was carrying: “Congratulations, Comrade Lin Jingnan, your admission letter has arrived.”

Lin Jingnan stretched out his hand tremblingly, and when he was about to pick it up, he took it back: “Wait a minute.”

He nervously retracted his hand, wiped it on his body, and wiped off the mud on his hand. Then he took it with both hands and opened it carefully.

Seeing the admission letter, he grinned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Zhou Xiaolei congratulated him sincerely: “Congratulations!”

Lin Jingnan heard his voice far away, with a bit of illusoryness, and he didn’t even know what he was talking about: “Happy, happy, happy, hahahahaha.”

“Please sign for it.” The postman smiled and was not in a hurry.

The admission letter is to be signed. Seeing that the other party has not recovered for a while, the postman patiently waited for him to recover. This is a happy event. Some gaffes are completely understandable. This is not bad. He has sent it before. One, the other party was crying directly, and he was embarrassed.

Lin Jingnan shook his hand to sign, and after reading the admission notice carefully, he put it away.

The good news spread quickly, and Zhang Chengye and other educated youths came to congratulate him.

Zhang Chengye was very happy. Although the educated youth said they were going back to the city, they didn’t have their roots here, but now they are from their village, and there is a college student.

This admission letter, Lin Jingnan, was very precious, and he refused to let others take it. He took it and let them take a look.

This is his hope of returning to the city, of course, it is too cautious.

Zhang Weiguo was fortunate enough to touch the admission letter with his own hands. He was very careful. This admission letter is a bit harder than the usual paper. Zhang Weiguo touched his finger, and the tactile feeling still remained on his finger: “Soon you will be able to do it. I went back, the admission notice has arrived, congratulations, all your hard work was not in vain.” During that time, I really forgot to eat and sleep.

“Hahaha, hahaha.” Because of this admission letter, the smile on Lin Jingnan’s mouth was always on his face, not at all reserved.

He rubbed his sore cheeks: “Thanks to your help, I’ll go back to my house soon, you do your best, I believe that with your grades, it will be no problem to be admitted to the university, you can see me You don’t need to mention that you will come to the capital in the future. It is where I grew up. I am familiar with it. When the time comes, I will be your host and take you to visit the Great Wall. These two places must be went.”

Lin Jingnan has a lot of confidence in Zhang Weiguo. He has passed the exam. There is no reason for him to fail the exam unless he performs poorly in the exam.

One after another, I heard that people from other places received admission notices, and when it came to which village they belonged, the hearts of other people who took part in the college entrance examination were trembling. Enrolled?

This led them to go to the town post office very diligently.

Zhang Gui looked at Zhou Xiaoqing who was absent-minded and did sloppy things in a very complicated mood. He didn’t know what he was thinking. Did he hope she passed the exam or did she fail the exam?

Liu Yanxin was secretly cursing, cursing that none of them could be admitted to university.

Why?

Why did he live in the dark, and they could go back in such a glorious capacity?

Seeing that Lin Jingnan received the admission letter, Liu Yanxin’s eyes were red with hatred.

Why?

Why can he still be admitted to the university and return to the city?

He was all admitted to the university, so what about Xie Rui, because of him, he ended up like this, even if he has a family, a wife and children, this is not the life he wants at all.

His life was ruined by him.

He had such a bad life, how could they still have such an enviable life!

It’s better that no one is admitted, it’s better that all of them stay here!

Seeing that Lin Jingnan got the admission letter, he also thought about whether he could find a way to destroy his admission letter.

It’s a pity that there is no way to implement this. He can only pray, praying that something happened to make him happy.

Seeing that the educated youth became more and more anxious and frustrated as time went by, he also became more and more happy in his heart, great, great, so what if they could take the college entrance examination?

It’s not that you haven’t been accepted to the university, it’s not the same as it is.

This is so good! It’s good that everyone has a bad time together!

But he was disappointed. In addition to Lin Jingnan, there was another person who also received an admission notice, and that was Zhou Xiaodong. Like Lin Jingnan, he chose a normal school.

Zhou Xiaodong heard what Lin Jingnan said, saying that it would be easier to be admitted if he chooses those who are currently lacking positions. Zhou Xiaodong doesn’t care whether he wants to be a teacher or not, as long as he can be admitted, as long as he can go back and be admitted to the university, he can do anything.

In order to increase the admission rate, he deliberately chose the nearest provincial normal university when he filled out the application form. The admission line for a less famous university would be lower.

This teacher is not comparable to Lin Jingnan, but he is also satisfied.

In addition to being happy for them, Zhang Chengye was also busy.

Now, according to the policy, the household registration of students follows their student registration, which means that their household registration relationship was originally in their village. After they are admitted to the university, they will move to their university, and then they will follow their work unit after graduation. The implementation is migrated to the unit.

Seeing that her younger brother received the admission notice, but she didn’t say a word, Zhou Xiaoqing’s mood was really complicated.

He can go to college, and he has to stay here.

Zhang Gui sighed in relief when she saw her lost look, it was great, home is still home, and there is no separation.

Zhou Xiaolei’s mood is also very complicated, but his ability to accept is relatively good. He quickly cheered up and continued to work hard with the book. He has another chance in the second half of the year. This is the only way to go back to the city. .

Seeing her younger brother like this, Zhou Xiaoqing also cheered up. Next time, in half a year, she will seize this opportunity.

After waiting for the formalities to be completed, Lin Jingnan bought a ticket and went home.

He can go home now, spend the New Year with his family, and report directly to the school after the new year is over.

He also went home to visit relatives before, but it is different now.

Lin Jingnan got on the train back to the capital, and Zhou Xiaodong did the same. He planned to go back to his eldest brother to have a look first, and then come back later. The school he applied for was the university in the provincial capital.

And his hometown is in the middle of several provinces.

Zhou Xiaodong wants to go back, and Zhou Xiaolei also goes back together.

He wanted to go back for a new year and come back after using his family leave. He hadn’t seen his eldest brother for a long time.

Parents can’t go there, there’s always no problem with big brother.

It’s such a great thing to receive an admission letter from a university. When confirming the news, Zhou Xiaodong had already sent a telegram to his eldest brother. Now telegrams are very expensive. The money is calculated by the number of words. It can be as brief as possible. Just a few words: acceptance letter received.

But my parents couldn’t send telegrams, they could only write letters and send them slowly. I don’t know when I’ll see the good news.

Zhou Xiaodong and Zhou Xiaolei brought a lot of food, including the heaviest dried sweet potatoes, a little bit of precious rice, dried vegetables that were dried by themselves, and some food from the mountains.

When their eldest brother received the letter, the two of them were almost there.

When they got home, the two Zhou Xiaodong brothers were surprised to find that someone they didn’t know lived in their previous home. When they asked, the other party let them go directly and didn’t want to talk at all.

They went to ask their neighbors who knew them before, and they either avoided it or pretended they didn’t see it, and finally someone told them the situation.

This house was previously distributed to their parents by the factory, but they took it back when something happened, and now their brother has moved to another place.

They followed the direction indicated. Their eldest brother now lives in a small room next to the warehouse. It is dark and low, and the place is much smaller. There is only one room, which is completely incomparable with the previous one.

When they went, their eldest brother just got off work and was about to go to the station to see if they had arrived.

The appearance of their eldest brother suddenly aged many years, obviously the eldest brother is not yet 30 years old, and now he looks like 30 or 40 years old, with deep wrinkles on his forehead, seeing the two of them, his face relaxed: ” You are here, I counted the time after I received the letter, and I guess it will be two days.”

Looking at this place without even a place to sit, Zhou Xiaodong was speechless, seeing the expressions on the faces of the two younger brothers, a bitter smile appeared on their elder brother’s face: “The house was destroyed after the parents’ accident. After taking it back, this place was finally divided, so we didn’t tell us to sleep on the streets.”

Zhou Xiaodong looked at the elder sister-in-law who was standing by the side and did not speak, looked at the three nephews and nieces, all of them were thin like ribs, the elder brother had a really bad life, Zhou Xiaodong’s voice was choked: “Brother, before you They didn’t tell us.” They guessed that the elder brother would have a bad life, but they didn’t expect it to be like this.

Zhou Xiaolei quickly turned his head to the side and blinked his eyes, blinking away the moisture in his eyes, and then put down the package: “Look, brother and sister-in-law, we brought a lot of food here, and there are some mountain goods here, which we don’t have here. , we can have a good meal.”

Seeing these food, everyone’s eyes were turned, and the smile on their sister-in-law’s face became more real.

But their eldest brother was more concerned about another point. He looked at Zhou Xiaodong: “Have you told anyone about that.”

He lowered his voice, so small that only the two of them could hear him.

Zhou Xiaodong shook his head, he breathed a sigh of relief: “That’s good, don’t say it, lest there will be twists and turns.”

After all, there are some problems with their identities. If they are brushed down because of their identities, there will be nowhere to find the medicine for regret.

Zhou Xiaodong thought the same way, this time he said that there was no restriction on his origin, but if it was spread out and people got caught, they would have nothing to do with getting it back.

The two brothers came back, but everyone’s attitude was indifferent. All the friends and relatives who had made good friends with their family before avoided them. When they came back, they just didn’t see them, as if they didn’t exist.

Their eldest brother said this with only a wry smile: “Everyone is afraid of being implicated, don’t worry about it, this is the way the world is.”

Zhou Xiaodong and Zhou Xiaolei’s throats tightened and they couldn’t speak at all.

Compared to the life that the eldest brother lived here, they lived a comfortable life in the countryside. Although there was nothing wrong with the hard work, they were not excluded or ignored.

What the eldest sister said was right, they had to hide it from the villagers.

Zhou Xiaodong clenched his fists secretly, some people have been rehabilitated and returned to their original positions, so should their parents, they are obviously innocent and have done nothing.

He is about to start school, he must cherish the opportunity to go to college, study hard, find a good job, live a good life, and let the relatives and friends who see their true colors in these times of adversity regret it.

Compared to Zhou Xiaodong and the others, Lin Jingnan on the other end was very happy.

After crowding on the train for a long time, he finally arrived at his destination, and then he was welcomed back home by his family.

The situation in his family is okay, there is nothing wrong with him, and he has always been well liked by his parents. He was ashamed of him when he went to the countryside, and he kept sending him things. Now he has returned to college with honor, not to mention how proud he is. Now, when you see someone, you have to compliment a few words around the corner, and then listen to other people’s boast with a smile on your face, and it’s okay to say a few words humbly.

Lin Jingnan didn’t have any free time these days. He either went to visit relatives or was surrounded by others. He didn’t have any time for himself. He finally had time for himself. It had been several days since he came back. Rui’s address to find him.

Xie Rui also participated in the college entrance examination this time. His grades were much better than his. He had already received an admission letter from Capital University. When the semester started, he would be a freshman at Capital University.

Lin Jingnan admired his achievements.

Who is this?

Such a good result in such a short period of time.

But he is also really happy for him. After graduating from university, there is really no need to worry, but what about his previous job?

Xie Rui said lightly: “I quit before the exam, and I plan to concentrate on my studies.”

This has perseverance. His previous job was good, but: “Isn’t it possible to study? Just go back after graduation.”

“Yes, but this will occupy the resources of the original unit. I must go back in the future. I have other places to go.”

Anyway, according to his understanding, college students are very popular, and it is impossible to find a job.

Xie Rui also asked about Li Village, where he went to the countryside for several years, and the life there brought a lot of changes to him, and he also made a few friends.

Speaking of Li Village, Lin Jingnan laughed: “It’s good, you don’t know, you tried to learn the skill of burning tiles and taught them. Our village’s income is two or three more than other villages. Young people are now in high demand.” After speaking, the smile on Lin Jingnan’s face was a bit complicated: “Even our educated youths were not favored by everyone before, but now many people from other villages are taking the initiative to ask.”

It is for their work points, and their work points are valuable.

“The girls in the village are not very willing to marry to other villages, and the income is not comparable. There are also many people in the village who have built better houses, unlike the mud brick houses before.”

“It’s been a while since you left, and everyone still gives you a thumbs up.”

“Now in this college entrance examination, Zhou Xiaodong and I are the only ones in the village who have passed the test. No one else has. But there will be another chance in half a year. This time, there will be more than half a year. It is estimated that more people will pass the test.”

Xie Rui nodded: “The time is short this time, and there are a lot of people applying for the exam. Almost all those who meet the requirements have not missed it. After half a year, Wei Guo will definitely be able to make the list, it depends on which school he chooses. Did he say which school he wanted to go to?”

“It’s your school, he mentioned it, but there’s no way to be sure until then.”

After that, the topic changed, Lin Jingnan complained to Xie Rui: “You have been home for so long, haven’t your family urged you? It’s been so long since I came back, my mother can’t wait to give her her grandson right away, you’ve been home for so long? How did you get through it?”

Speaking of this Xie Rui, he remembered the thing when his mother suspected that he liked Sister Su Huisu, and he couldn’t help crying and laughing: “My mother is also in a hurry and fooled her.”

Lin Jingnan sighed: “How can you fool me, I also really want to find a partner, but I haven’t met the one I’m interested in, so I don’t want to, and, knowing that I am admitted to the university, those relatives and friends have to mention a few words of their own. A nephew, a friend’s daughter.” He stroked his forehead, and at first he was really happy and a little proud when he knew that he was doing so well, but after more, he could only say that he was afraid, he couldn’t bear it anymore, Let this enthusiasm fade quickly.

Xie Rui patted his shoulder with empathy.

He is also a visitor.

…

Xie Rui and Lin Jingnan had confidence in Zhang Weiguo taking the college entrance examination, but Zhang Weiguo himself did not have that much confidence. Speaking of which, he felt a little guilty.

Although it was said that when they asked their questions before, he could basically do it. If he took the college entrance examination, his grades should be ok, but what if he did not perform well?

What if he happens to encounter a problem he doesn’t know?

What if the grades he filled out for the school volunteers were too high, and he fell off the list?

There are too many uncertain things, he can only redouble his efforts during this time, not slack at all, and diligently read books with his two younger brothers.

Grandpa Wen went back, but he wouldn’t have any questions. Zhang Weiguo asked his mother. Before, he always asked Grandpa Wen. Grandpa Wen is a professor of mathematics, and his colleagues are also professors of history. When he asked him, he found that his mother knew all these things, and she was so powerful! I feel that I underestimated my mother before, but now I suddenly realize that my mother is so powerful, Zhang Weiguo clenched his fist, and his mother studied so hard, how could he fall behind?

…

As the New Year is approaching, Zhang Gen’s face has been lingering with joy.

Wei Guo has another article in the newspaper. This is a great news. With this in front, he should not fail the college entrance examination in half a year, right? Shouldn’t be possible.

In this case, he will have a grandson who is a college student.

Thinking about it, Zhang Gen’s footsteps are a little fluttering.

Some of his good old friends see him like this and laugh at him deliberately, but he is not angry, but cheerful.

His grandson is prosperous, he is happy, isn’t this normal?

Zhang Jinhua also concentrates on his studies. He is more strenuous. Unlike Zhang Weiguo, he still works in the fields to earn some work points. He is completely at home and devoted to his textbooks. To make up for it, there was no college entrance examination before, and it was the same whether it was good or bad, but now it can’t be done. He did the college entrance examination paper, and that score could not be accepted by the university.

Wu Chuchu watched him study so hard, touched her stomach, and silently supported him. If he was admitted to university, she and her children would benefit together. She never thought that the choice she made at that time would bring Come to such a good result.

She was very attentive to creating a quiet learning environment for Zhang Jinhua, and Zhao Laidi was quite satisfied to see her like this.

She is also very concerned about the college entrance examination. If her son is admitted, she will be proud of it for the rest of her life. She is a little happy when she thinks about it. When her son graduated from elementary school, he said he didn’t want to go to school anymore, so he came back for another year. Land, after being stimulated to go back to school, she didn’t refuse at that time, which is great.

It doesn’t take long for this to work. The college entrance examination has resumed. My son’s grades in junior high school are still in the top few, and high school has regressed a bit. But now that he has worked hard, he should be fine.

Because reading burns his brain, she and Li Manfen often cook a small stove for him, knock an egg, or soak a bowl of sugar water.

She also kept an eye on these. This was for her son’s body, not for Wu Chuchu. Although she was pregnant with her grandson, her son must be more important at this time.

For the sake of her son’s study, Zhao Laidi also smiled very kindly at Zhang Weiguo. He pulled him more than once and said, if there is something he doesn’t understand, he will communicate with his cousin, improve each other, and learn from each other.

In this regard, she didn’t want to admit, but had to admit that Su An’s children had good academic performance, and Zhang Weiguo had never fallen out of the first place.

It’s no use taking the first test before, now what?

If he didn’t go to college as the first one, it would be even more impossible for others.

Zhang Jinhua didn’t really want to take his face off and study with Zhang Weiguo, but he didn’t want to and couldn’t do it, because the exams were not like they were in their own class, there was no change, and they studied hard.

The question type of the exam will change. Once the question type changes, he doesn’t know how to do it.

No one called, he did it very hard.

With Zhao Laidi’s words, he has the steps to consult with his cousin who is several years younger than himself.

He knew that it was better to pull down his body. After all, he knew the few people who were educated youths, and he had also learned from Zhang Weiguo, but he couldn’t pull his face down before.

Zhang Weiguo doesn’t care how awkward his attitude is, if he comes, he will answer if he asks, but thinking that he is going to help him answer his doubts, it is impossible, he is not so free.

It’s not just Zhang Jinhua, other people ask him questions, and he basically answers, but he basically only says it once. If he doesn’t understand it repeatedly, he won’t be so free. Doesn’t he need to spend time studying?

Zhou Xiaoqing is a little aunt, she didn’t ask Zhang Weiguo, but she asked Zhang Jinhua and Zhou Xiaolei, they didn’t understand, they would also ask Zhang Weiguo, and she could achieve her goal as well.

After careful calculation, there are three candidates in the Zhang family, including Zhou Xiaoqing, Zhang Jinhua, Zhang Weiguo, and if you count Zhou Xiaolei, then there are four.

The atmosphere of the exam is very strong.

In this way, 1977 came to an end and ushered in the new year of 1978.

On New Year’s Eve, everyone gathers together.

One table is not enough for them now. The three-bedroom, plus Zhang Gen and Li Manfen, the big room has 9 people.

There are 4 people in the second room and 4 people in the third room.

That’s 17 people in total.

After adding Zhang Gui’s table, we can sit down together.

Zhang Gen looked at Wu Chuchu’s belly. By next year, there will be 18 people in the family.

The people are prosperous, and seeing that the days are getting better and better, Zhang Gen is interested, and he takes out his treasured rice wine, which is only brewed this year.

The taste of this rice wine is very weak because of the added water, but this is wine after all, and it is brewed from grain.

Before, their family wouldn’t use grain to do this kind of thing at all. It was because of the good times in the past few years that they would brew a little wine by themselves and enjoy them during the festival.

“Come on, get everyone a cup, everyone drink a little, and have a taste.”

Where there are so many cups, I use a bowl to make do, and some use a spoon, just pour a little bit, really just have a taste.

Zhang Fenghua used a spoon to put a little bit into her mouth. Once she put it into her mouth, her eyes widened slightly. This wine is sweet and has an indescribable taste. It turns out that this is the taste of wine. The sweetness is a bit like sugar, but very different from sugar.

But anyway, sweet things taste good.

There are many people with novelty on their faces. Basically, girls have never drunk alcohol, and only a few men have drunk it.

Zhang Weiguo smacked his mouth. This kind of wine was light, sweet, and tasted okay, but not strong at all, unlike the one he drank from Lin Jingnan before, he drank a little and his face turned red. That one is said to be white wine, and its concentration is much higher than that of rice wine. He doesn’t think it tastes good at all, he just finds it choking.

“You are going to take the college entrance examination in the coming year. Here, grandpa wishes you a bright future. Seize the opportunity to jump out of the farm gate, and the days will be better.”

Zhang Gen drank a little too much, his alcohol intake was not very good, and he was already a little drunk. The performance of being drunk was to become nagging, holding Zhang Jinhua in one hand and Zhang Weiguo in the other, chatting non-stop.

“You two, you must study hard. For the time being, you don’t need to worry about your homework and field work. You don’t need to worry about anything if you can pass the test, you know? You’ll be a cadre after you get into college, and you won’t have to worry about it for the rest of your life. Now, this is your chance, just happened to encounter such a thing, thank the country, think about the time when we were in chaos, people were dying everywhere, it was not easy, the country was founded, this is good, you have not experienced wars, treasure it……”

Zhang Xiaohua watched Grandpa drag the two of them and ran over there chattering: “Grandpa, the college entrance examination is now ready, can my sister and I also go to school? We study with the eldest sister, and we can skip grades, which can save some tuition fees. We can also take the college entrance examination, the university entrance examination, and honor our ancestors.”

Hearing this, Zhao Laidi’s face sank, and she pulled it back, pointing at her forehead: “What nonsense are you talking about? There are so many things in the family, you are here to make trouble!”

“What’s the use of going to so many schools for girls?”

“And can you compare with your brother?”

“Huh? If you all go to school, no matter how you dance, it will cost you tuition fees. How long did it take you to go to high school? With so many people, do you want to wear me out? All the four children in the family go to school, Four adults are working and supplying ten mouths. Now we have enough food. If you go to school, this ration will definitely not be enough, and the cost will increase. How do you live?”

Zhao Laidi poked a red mark on her forehead: “I won’t quarrel with you, don’t spoil the fun, if you quarrel with you, you will have bad luck for the next year.”

Zhang Xiaohua was sullen, stopped talking, lowered his head, like acquiescence, and like silent resistance.

Su An raised her eyebrows.

Going to school, of course, is not the only way, but the best way to go.

Seeing her like this, Su An had some expectations.

Zhang Fenghua didn’t speak either, she didn’t dare to speak, she didn’t know what she could say. She was able to go to school because she earned the tuition by herself, but picking herbs was not enough at all, even if her two younger sisters helped her together, it was not enough. The missing part was helped by her grandfather.

She’s not tough.

There are so many people in their family. If they all go to school, they will have less work points and less food. Seeing that their nephew is about to be born, they will need more mouths and rations will be tighter. Now the times are good. However, the food has not changed much, it is still the same, but the money is more distributed, but the rural people have no habit of spending money on food. Unless that is the time to live, or it is rare to buy some to improve the ration.

This incident turned into a small episode, which passed quickly, and turned into a festive and harmonious New Year’s Eve.

New Year’s Eve, don’t make trouble, some superstitious sayings, no matter how naughty children are during the New Year, they will not beat and scold, because they will scold their blessings away, children especially like the New Year, one is because of red packets and snacks, and the other is because of their own mistakes. You won’t be beaten or scolded.
