Mu Xiaoyun didn't want to go either, and said, "The meat has just started to be marinated, and the smoking hasn't started yet. What will happen if no one is watching?"

Although the meat processing plant has not yet started construction, the factory has already begun to experiment with making cured meat. There is no reason to quit just when it has just started.

Zheng Hanqiu smiled and said, "Dad, it's okay, you just have to agree, and I'll find someone to go with me."

Zheng Guixiang couldn't just agree to it, so he put down his chopsticks and reminded her, "You have to find someone first, otherwise it won't work."

Zheng Feizhou...can't you consider me?

I am taller than my sister now, and I can protect her.

"You protected your sister? Someone will have to watch over you when you go out!" Zheng Guixiang was smart enough. It would be even more unsafe for the two children to go out without an adult.

But the children all wanted to go to the city, and it was impossible to reject them so arbitrarily. Zheng Guixiang could only put it aside for the time being, "Let's talk about it after we get the admission letter. Don't let them go out and play when they don't get good grades in the exams."

Zheng Juzi thought this was a good idea. After receiving the notice in a few days, maybe she could have a good rest.

At that time, students usually helped with housework after the holidays. Liu Ying's family did not have much land, so after the autumn harvest, she used to do odd jobs for other families to earn a few sweet potatoes to barely fill her stomach.

This year she made some money from selling hair ornaments, and her family's food and clothing have improved greatly. Naturally, she wanted to take advantage of the time before the New Year to make more hair ornaments.

However, in order to speed up the process, she not only came by herself, but also brought her younger brother Liu Wei.

Liu Wei looked to be about the same age as Zheng Feizhou. It was obvious that his hair was cut at home, and the scissors were not sharp, so the hair looked like it had been bitten by a dog.

He was wearing an ill-fitting cotton jacket, with a large part of his arms exposed at the cuffs, and they were red from the cold.

Liu Ying was a little embarrassed: "I, I have saved some money recently, I will buy him a new one when I go to the big market."

The two sisters didn't say anything. When they moved, they got rid of all the old clothes that Zheng Feizhou couldn't wear anymore since they had no use.

Liu Ying wanted to wait until the big market to sell the clothes because at that time the clothes were cheaper than those sold at the supply and marketing cooperative. If they offered to give them to her, she would definitely want to pay them back.

"Liu Ying, do you want to go to the county town?" Zheng Hanqiu asked.

Liu Ying was stunned. She had never been to the county town in her life.

Liu Wei was helping his sister find some scraps of cloth. He looked up and said, "The bus fare to the county town is two yuan, and it costs four yuan for a round trip. We don't have the money."

In the countryside, every penny counts, let alone 4 yuan, which is the expenses for a family for several days. Who would be willing to spend that money just to take a look at the county town?

Zheng Hanqiu said, "I heard that many families in the county are very rich. The hair ornaments we make here are sold for 8 cents and people have to bargain for them, but in the county they can be sold for two or three yuan."

"Really?" Liu Ying's eyes suddenly lit up.

As expected, birds of a feather flock together. The previously weak and fragile girl is now becoming more and more like Orange in their family. When she hears about making money, she becomes a completely different person.

But the more this happens, the later we will have to leave.

At that time, it was not like the future. Not to mention going to the county town, even going out of the province or going abroad, it was a very normal thing to go on a spontaneous trip.

At that time, there was only one bus a day from the town to the county seat, which departed at 8 a.m. and returned at 4 p.m. Excluding the one-hour drive, the time in between was for everyone to do business.

There are very few people who go to the county town simply to play or buy things instead of going to do business or visit relatives, so everyone will plan in advance.

Liu Ying's plan was that if the hair ornaments she made sold at a high price, she would make more now and then set up a stall in the county town, which would at least cover the round-trip fare.

Zheng Juzi also suggested: "There is a wholesale market in the county. We can also go there to buy some small items to sell. It's almost the New Year, who doesn't want to dress up beautifully?"

Liu Ying's motivation was immediately boosted. If nothing else, she had to take advantage of this time to buy new clothes for everyone in her family.

In this way, a few days passed quickly, and Zheng Juzi and Zheng Hanqiu went to the school to get their admission letters.

In fact, getting the admission letter was just a formality. Zheng Juzi was confident in her grades. What she didn't expect was that she, as the top student in the grade, was not named a "three-good student".

Before her rebirth, she had always been an excellent student. This doesn't make sense.

"Teacher Lin, do you think I have bad thoughts and morals?" Zheng Juzi asked dissatisfiedly.

Teacher Lin is the new class teacher. The original teacher Li has been transferred to the town junior high school because of non-compliant teaching.

Teacher Lin was also helpless. Sixteen students in the class were named "Three Good Students", but the first one was not. It felt a bit awkward.

But the truth is, "You failed the music exam, and there's nothing you can do about it."

Zheng Juzi felt like he was struck by lightning.

She didn't want to do that. She never had any sense of pitch and her voice was naturally tone-deaf. Whenever she tried to sing in tune, the notes would inexplicably be off.

Besides, the music teacher’s teaching is obviously very casual, so why should he be so serious about it?

Failed the music exam? Zheng Hanqiu wanted to laugh, and laughed without any sympathy.

Zheng Juzi glared at her coldly, "What are you laughing at? Even if I'm not a three-good student, my bonus is higher than yours!"

The school rewards the top three students in the grade with bonuses of 10 yuan, 8 yuan and 6 yuan respectively, and the three good students receive certificates and exercise books.

The reason why the top three were not given certificates is because the top three are generally three good students, and in the minds of the public, three good students sounds much more prestigious.

"Juzi, are you okay?" Although Liu Ying followed them to make hair flowers, she did not fall behind in her studies. This time she ranked third in the grade and received both a bonus and a certificate.

Zheng Juzi... I don't know whether I am okay or not. Why is there an exam called music in this world?

The subject she hadn't paid attention to for eight hundred years caused her to suffer a Waterloo in the first semester of her first year of junior high school.

Zheng Guixiang was even more emotional than her. His eldest daughter was a three-good student and had a certificate, and his youngest son was a three-good student and had a certificate. It would have been so proud if the three certificates for the three children were posted on the wall of the new house, but there was one missing.

Zheng Juzi...

"How about I put my bonus on it?"

10 yuan is a lot of money. After all, only six people in the six grades of the sixth middle school can get this bonus. But Zheng Guixiang has obviously entered a higher level of spiritual pursuit. "What's the use of the bonus? There's no stamp on it!"

"Besides, your sister and brother's certificates are posted on the wall and everyone knows that they are excellent students. If you put up a 10-yuan certificate, who would know that you are the first place?"

Zheng Juzi...I didn't expect that I was the one feeling sad.

However, as a man with a thicker skin than a city wall, Zheng Juzi went back to school without stopping and found Principal Liao.

"Your results in this final exam are good." Principal Liao praised Zheng Juzi when he saw her.
