After rebirth, I was bound to the academic system

Chapter 3: Rewarded by the system with elementary calligraphy

This morning was killing me, but luckily it's Saturday! No school.

Otherwise, with my two shaky legs, I would have to crawl to school.

I haven't touched a textbook in years! It's so frustrating to read it. I don't understand a word! I just want to cry but I have no tears!

But the system tasks still need to be done! After all, I didn’t have the ability to learn before! Now I just want to get the reward.

I finally finished the system task after working so hard for the whole morning that I almost ran out of brain cells!

Congratulations to the host:

……

The weekend just goes by so fast.

~~

Early in the morning! Before dawn! My parents woke me up!

It is autumn now. Because the school is far from home, I have to get up before dawn, otherwise I will be late for school!

What a shitty life! Students can’t afford to lose their days!

It feels like I was that wealthy woman with assets over ten thousand yesterday, but now I have to go to school obediently. My family, who understands me!

I really envy my younger brother, whose primary school is closer to home! I am still dreaming about it now! But for my sister, I am happy.

At least I can still go to school, because the nine-year compulsory education is not yet universal. In these small cities in the south, students have to pass the entrance exam to enter junior high school. 1 point can change a person's life.

My sister didn’t continue her studies because she didn’t pass the entrance exam. As a minor, no one wanted her to work outside, so she could only farm at home.

Let’s talk about repeating a grade: the tuition for a family with several children in the rural area is a huge expense, although it is nothing compared to families in the city.

But in rural areas, the cost of raising another child for schooling adds another layer of pressure.

There is no way to find a way to make money.

If you want to sell some vegetables to supplement your family income.

First,

Every family in the countryside has land, and so do families in towns. Why aren’t there many people buying vegetables?

If you want to go to the city to sell vegetables, you may not even be able to earn back the cost of transportation.

Moreover, there were no asphalt roads yet, so it was very hard to go to the city.

A typical case of "low grain prices hurting farmers"

But if something is imported from outside, it will be more expensive, relatively speaking, for farmers with meagre incomes.

You have to buy all the necessary oil, rice, sauce, vinegar and tea, even if they are expensive, because they are necessities for the household.

There are only a few grain and oil stores in town, and the prices are similar.

If you don't buy it, do you have to spend hundreds of dollars to go to the city, risk your life, and take an 8-hour round trip to buy a bag of salt?

Our road belongs to "Xinghai City", the Qiu Shui Town below, and our home is in Qiu Shui Village.

The town is not big.

There is only one road in the town, with clothes shops and snack shops on both sides, as well as a few small restaurants! There is not even a supermarket, just a small store!

The old saying that if you want to get rich you must first build roads still makes sense.

In such a remote place with dilapidated roads, nothing can be developed no matter what you want to do.

Moreover, our area does not have abundant resources. Although there are a few small coal mines, in this day and age, there are no safety measures in the coal mines, and people die every year.

The salary is not high, and most families will not let their men work in the coal mines.

Therefore, in our place, most of the coal mines are filled with people from other places, which is also selling one's life for money.

You can say that I am timid, but all I want is peace.

If the job is proportional to your efforts, no one would be unwilling to do it.

Originally,

You want to make money to change your family, but if something happens, it will only make things worse for your family.

In fact, there is no shortage of rich people and opportunities to make money everywhere, it’s just that you can’t think of it and don’t dare to try it easily.

As a rural person, what you have received since childhood is the teachings of your parents and the education of your teachers at school. The influence of the people around you only allows you to receive so much information, which consumes your values.

Unless you are a real genius, or someone with a quick mind, you can get out of this place and go to a big city.

Otherwise, you will be buried forever by this invisible scarcity and work hard in this place for the rest of your life.

Only by learning more knowledge can you see more of the world.

You will then realize how ignorant you are.

And want to climb up.

.........

It was not until I was admitted to the middle school in town that I realized that there is no equality in life. The greatest inequality is that everything is determined from the moment you are born.

"Some people are born Romans, some are born cattle and horses."

In a town five kilometers away, there is a group of people! Regardless of whether they are men or women, they always wear bright and beautiful clothes! The styles and fabrics of the clothes are something I have never seen before!

At that moment, I felt inferior because the things they discussed were things I had never come across before.

Watching their eyes scan me made me squirm.

I was like a fool, wishing I could find a place to hide.

But there is nowhere to hide.

The environment I grew up in has shaped me so that I have such a shallow knowledge. Do you think that with my IQ and EQ, I can become very powerful all of a sudden?

If I were that powerful, there would be no such thing as rebirth.

But their starting point from birth is different from ours!

For the first 13 years, I worried every day about whether I could pass the exams.

Thirteen years later, I entered a new world and saw scenery I had never seen before, and I thought it was the best.

But that's the only one I have access to.

In fact, all of this is very ordinary.

But for a child who grew up in the countryside, going to school in town is a big deal. Everyone and everything in the town is superior to others.

Timid, cowardly, and lacking confidence.

Childhood memories can really affect a person's life. I don't want to get married later: first, I haven't met someone I want to marry at all costs; second, I am afraid that my children will follow my old path, and like me, the shadow in their hearts will linger for the rest of their lives. Many things have trapped their lives.

“Perhaps the biggest lie in the world is education!

But only education can give us, the children who are not as good as the “small town test-takers”, a chance to change our destiny!

If you want to change your destiny and improve your family situation, your only way is to get into a good university.

If you succeed, you still have the opportunity to change your destiny, but even if you get into college and get a decent job, there is still a gap!

I don't know where I heard this sentence from, it's really heartbreaking.

A child from the countryside was admitted to a university in a big city. He has always been diligent, for fear of being punished and returning to his original state.

I have worked hard for 30 years to finally sit down and have a cup of coffee with you. But it took me 30 years of hard work to finally be able to have a cup of coffee with you who grew up in the city! It seems to you that it is just a very ordinary daily routine! It is indeed the result of my years of hard work!

Today I let myself go! But after today, I am still the drifter who works diligently and can't even afford a toilet in the city! I dare not relax! I am afraid of returning to the suffocating environment in the past! But I am not a genius! My knowledge, background, and my cognition limit my life.

Maybe getting into university is the greatest luck in my life!

But I am also grateful that it allowed me to see scenery that I have never seen before.

At least I don’t have to live in poverty and have a barren spiritual world like my father and others.

I hope my children will live better than us in the future.
