Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

"No, their two children will go straight to the second grade."

"That means your family has to pay for the tuition for three children at once. The tuition alone will add up to more than 20 yuan a year. Isn't that a small amount?"

“It’s good, at least they can use the eldest’s books, so they don’t have to buy them.

In fact, he doesn't need to buy the books his brother uses. He can just go to the scrap yard and look around, and then buy whatever books are missing.

In other words, we only need to buy paper and pens, so for three children, it will only cost about ten yuan a year to study."

"Is it still possible to do this?"

"Of course."

"Then can we also look for it at the scrap yard?"

"Of course you can, but you may not be able to find it since school is about to start.

Fortunately, since our child’s father knew that he would be a substitute teacher in the team.

Every time I go to the commune or the city, I will go to the scrap yard more or less, and I have found several sets of books so far.

If you don’t plan to buy books for your children, you can share the same set.”

"Is this okay?"

"Why not? The first grade class opened in the village this year is a 'farming and reading class'. Students work half a day and attend classes half a day. There is no tuition fee and students only need to learn to read and count.

But when you go back to the second grade, you will have to pay tuition. As for books, you can still share a set with two or three people. If there are more, I'm afraid it won't work."

"If that's the case, then I have to send my child to school. I don't ask for anything else, just that he won't be blind."

"That's right. Even though we have attended literacy classes, it's been a long time and I really don't recognize some words anymore."

"Who says it's not?

Even if the child doesn't become a worker in the future, it would be fine if he could be a scorekeeper in the team."

"That's right, I just don't know if our child is that kind of material?"

"You really don't know this?"

I really didn't know that when I was on the way to send Dongdong to the primary school in the commune, my two little ones were temporarily conscripted by their father to help with the registration.

I really didn't expect that in the first year that the Huangzhuang Brigade's primary school enrolled students, so many people would come back.

Maybe it was because it was the first time they accepted students, or maybe it was because the “farming and reading class” did not require tuition.

In several nearby brigades, families who have such ideas send their children to school.

Only a few others were studying in the commune, and because it was far from home, they temporarily chose to continue their studies in Huangzhuang Brigade.

Even so, they were only second-grade students. Students in third or fourth grade, or even fifth grade, still had to walk a long way every day to go to school in the commune.

The only difference is that there are almost no girls in either the first-grade farming and reading class or the second-grade class.

When the two children came home for lunch at noon, they talked about this.

"Mom, even though there are only two classes in the whole school, we never expected that there are only five girls in total, and I am the only girl in the second grade where I am.

Could it be that their family is even more patriarchal than the Qin family that used to live upstairs with us?"

"how to say?

Even if some families value girls, relatively speaking, they cannot compare to boys.

Even though your uncle Huang's family also allows girls to go to school, there are prerequisites for that.

They have to finish certain chores at home, or their scores or rankings in every exam must not be lower than a certain level, otherwise they will not be able to continue their studies.

And the fact that you can be your parents' daughter is not only your blessing, but also ours. You don't need to take it too seriously.

You just need to seize the opportunity to go to school, and never waste such a good opportunity?

If I knew that you were secretly happy about this matter and didn't study hard.

Then why don't your parents let you experience for yourself what favoring boys over girls will bring you?"

“I don’t want it?

I'm not stupid. I finally have a chance to study, but if I don't study hard, then I'd be a fool.

Besides, I am thinking about returning to the city in the future, so how can I not study hard?

Although we are living well in the countryside now, it is still far from what it was like in the city."

"In that case, study hard."

"Yes."

Then I heard the youngest son talking there.

"Mom, after school this afternoon, can we take the backpack and go to the roadside to wait for big brother?"

"Why do you think of asking this?"

"This is what my elder brother told me last night. He said that going to the commune to study is good,

But he couldn't collect grass for the pigs, and he was embarrassed to let me do it alone, so he thought of waiting for me to get home from school and then waiting for him there with the backpack.

He also said that I would be responsible for cutting grass for the pigs and he would be responsible for carrying them back.”

“Since you have already discussed it, let’s do as you wish.

Anyway, the two pigs at home need to eat pig grass, and you two brothers are responsible for it, so you can arrange it in any way that is reasonable."

"That's right!"

"Xiaoying, what are your plans after school this afternoon?"

"My brother and I will go together to wait for my elder brother. It doesn't matter whether I go there or not to pick wild vegetables."

"Okay, but don't go too far. Do you hear me?"

"Got it, Mom."

"By the way, when Mom went to the commune today, she bought a bag of snacks at the supply and marketing cooperative. Do you want to eat them now, or wait for your eldest brother to come back and eat them together?"

"Let's eat together!"

"Yes, let's eat together."

"Okay! Then I'll get it for you after I get off work this afternoon. How about that?"

"can."

"There's still some time, go back to your room and get some sleep!

Otherwise, I will feel sleepy during afternoon classes."

"it is good."

However, he and Guo Huaian did not rest. Instead, they used this time to wash clothes or do other housework.

And told Guo Huaian everything he saw in the commune school today, and heard him say.

“At the moment, there is no way for me to be transferred to the commune school. Even if I go, I’m afraid I’ll just be attending meetings.

I just don’t know what the teaching quality of the teachers in the commune is like.”

"I really don't know about that. Fortunately, we both have some education, so there is no problem teaching their three children."

“Yes, I never worried about this before, but now I realize that this is really not a trivial matter.

We have lived in the city before, and we know the benefits of education for children. We must pay more attention to the education of our children in the future."

"That's right. For the sake of our children, we can't slack off. We have to keep a close eye on these three children. Are you afraid that they won't realize it by then?"
