Chapter 24: Going to School

Originally, there was no school in this graphite village, but somehow in recent years, someone has paid to build a few classrooms built with large holes in stone bricks at the entrance of the village, as well as a teachers' lounge, and a sign is hung on the door of the lounge, which says Fang Yuling Village Elementary School. As a result www.biquge.info this small place has become the only school for children in more than 20 natural villages, and many children who live far away have to walk for an hour or two every day to get to this place, and the same is true after school, and it is often dark when they get home.

At that time, the primary school was divided into junior primary school and high primary school, junior primary school is one to four years, high primary school refers to the fifth grade and sixth grade, although the school enrolls students from more than 20 villages, but there are not many people who come to school, although the school agrees to pay the money can be offset by 24 catties of millet per semester, but even so, not every parent is willing to pay millet to let their children go to school, one is reluctant, 24 catties of millet is enough for the whole family to eat with coarse grains for a long time, and secondly, I think that leaving the child at home can earn more than one person's work, why spend that time to go to school。 It is because of this idea that these small classrooms are also sparsely seated.

At that time, school was not as stressful as we are now, and there was a lot of homework, and the curriculum at that time was much easier, because most of the children had to help the family do farm work, so they only went to school for four and a half days a week, mainly in language and arithmetic, and there were no other sub-subjects.

In Fang Yuling's village elementary school, it is a husband and wife who teach junior primary school, one teaches Chinese and the other teaches arithmetic. I heard that none of them were from their own village, but had come to this remote country with the people who built the school. As for the builder of this village, it is the teacher in charge of the teaching of the high school - Teacher Jiang, a woman in her 50s, who taught in the city when she was young, and returned to her hometown after retirement, Graphite Village. and used all her money to build this Fang Yuling Village Elementary School, and as for why this school is surnamed Fang and not Jiang, no one knows. However, what everyone knows is that Teacher Jiang lives alone in the village, has no wife, and has no children around her, only the couple who came with her will occasionally take care of her life.

On the exterior wall of the school is a large red slogan: "Our educational policy should enable the educated to develop morally, intellectually, and physically education, and to become socially conscious and literate workers." These words are very eye-catching, and he can see them from a long distance, and what makes him happy is that most of these words he recognizes.

"Brother~" Xing Youqian grabbed the corner of his eldest brother's clothes, a little reluctant.

"Yes, when the eldest brother goes to school, you take good care of the little sister at home, don't let him be bullied, you are almost four years old, you are a big child. Xing Youliang took his hand and pulled the corner of his clothes and said.

"Hmm~, Youqian knows, Youqian is a big child. ”

"Xiaochuan, the arithmetic I learned in school will be told to you after school, and you have to watch my younger brothers and sisters when I am not at home, they are also your younger brothers and sisters. ”

Zhang Xiaochuan was the only one whose mother depended on him when he was a child, and he always envied people who had brothers and sisters.

"Haha, you finally admit that Xiao Youyou is my sister, and you didn't want to live or die a few days ago. Zhang Xiaochuan proudly hugged Xing Youyou, who was lying on the body of Xing Youliang.

"You go to school by yourself, I will never let others bully the two of them. Zhang Xiaochuan looked at the eyes of the torture and said seriously.

"Well, I believe you, then I'll go. After saying that, Xing Youliang ran to the house with big red letters.

Xing Youyou went to school, Xing Youyou looked at the back of the eldest brother and was a little reluctant, in the past nine months, she has been with the eldest brother every day, and now that the eldest brother has gone to school, she is a little worried that the careless second brother can take care of herself?

Zhang Xiaochuan walked into the courtyard of Xing's house with two small ones, and saw Xing Junlan crying with her parents in the yard.

"Mother, I went to school if I had food, why can't I go to school, I want to go to school too!" Xing Junlan cried in the courtyard and yelled at He Wenbi.

"Other people's daughters haven't gone to school, you just have to go, besides, what do I take to give you school, the money and food are in your milk's hands, what's the use of you begging me. He Wenbi looked at her daughter, who was now ten years old and still worried about going to school, and she didn't know what to do.

Xing Junlan rushed into Mrs. Xiong's house without saying a word, and knelt in front of her with a plop.

"Grandma, I beg you, you give me 24 catties of millet and let me go to school, and when I am older, I will double it back to you, Xiaolan beg." ”

This old lady bear knew that today was the day of school, and she didn't leave the house just to avoid her, but she didn't expect this Xing Junlan to break in by herself.

"When you think 24 catties of millet is blowing in the wind, you will take it out, do you know how long these 24 catties of millet are the rations for the whole family? If your father is diligent and earns more work, I can't say that I will agree, but look at your old man, a big man does not earn as much as your aunt Rong. If you don't make up for it diligently, you still want to go to school, hum!" mentioned this matter of earning work, Mrs. Xiong was full of anger, when Fu Xiaorong was still there, she had seven jobs a day, but now this is gone, I feel panicked in my heart, as I spoke, my butt left the kang, and kicked Xing Junlan, who was kneeling on the ground, and continued:

"Don't think about going to school, from tomorrow onwards, you will report to Captain Chen, and you will earn me as much work as you can, otherwise there will be no food for you in this house." ”

Xing Junlan was crawling on the edge of the kang and crying, she couldn't figure out why she couldn't go to school, why.

Zhang Xiaochuan heard the sound inside, sighed and sent Xing Youqian back to the house.

"Yes, you have to stay away from your sister Xiaolan and them in the future, do you know?"

"They don't like to play with me in the first place, and I don't play with them, I have a monkey girl. As he spoke, he hugged the monkey lady's sheep head and pulled it into his arms, and the monkey lady bleated in protest, and floated her cold little eyes to the place where Xing Youyou was.

Xing Youyou somehow seemed to understand its eyes, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly, indicating that I was also powerless.
