Chapter 29 Harvesting Persimmons
In 95, the three of them didn't do well in the exam, and after discussion, if they want to go to middle school, they have to repeat for at least one year, plus three years of high school, and then they may not be able to be admitted to college, maybe they have to repeat it, and the university will be four more years, and it will take nearly ten years before and after. The family is not rich, so I still study secondary school for three years, and then go to work safely.
Although Feng Yiping and Xiao Zhijie were both small businesses and considered a middle-income group, and Wang Changning became a gold-collar worker, in this process, they put in more effort and sweat than other peers. If they were all highly educated, wouldn't they be more accomplished?
Of course, life is unpredictable, maybe you go to college, or you may be a small employee in a company for the rest of your life. But now it's different, with Feng Yiping, a person with foresight, and going to college, no matter how bad it is, it can't be worse than the original.
I'm afraid that if I don't do well in the high school entrance examination, my family will not agree to them repeating it. So these words have to be said in front.
Feng Yiping was actually very worried about the high school entrance examination.
It turned out that he didn't have this concept, and later looked at "Chinese Partner", Huang Xiaoming said in it that the 93-year admission rate announced by the Ministry of Education, the high school entrance examination is 44.1%, and in conversion, it is 93 years, one of the two and a half junior high school students will definitely be able to go to high school, and in 95 years, this promotion rate will only be higher, maybe one of the two junior high school students can go to high school.
Was he that bad in the first place? He decided to find an explanation for himself.
So he calculated that there were only three classes in their county No. 1 Middle School, and the maximum number was 150 people. After the county was streamlined and merged, there were 12 townships and three townships under the jurisdiction of the county, adding up to 15 townships and towns. Moreover, among these 15 townships, there are many large towns, such as their township, which have merged three townships before and after. At least one junior high school in each town is counted as 15 junior high schools, and each middle school has three classes and 150 students, so that the average admission rate is 6.67%.
If you count those who dropped out of school later, there are still some township junior high schools that do not have 150 students, 15 middle schools, according to 100 students each, the final admission rate is 10%, and then discounted, even if it is 15%, then the 95-year admission rate in their county is far from the average 44.1% in 93 announced by the Ministry of Education!
It turned out that without his knowledge, he had already been "averaged".
He didn't know the bottom of the data he calculated, and it was too bad, so he searched on the Internet at the time and found a piece of news. After 2000, the Guangdong CPPCC organized a survey and found that when the college entrance examination rate had reached 80%, Guangdong's high school entrance examination rate was only 42%!
This result was really unexpected, and even the construction of high schools in Guangdong only lagged behind. In the 90s, when he was admitted to high school, the construction of high schools in mainland provinces could only lag behind.
Therefore, he accepted it with peace of mind, in fact, when he took the high school entrance examination that year, the admission rate was less than 10%. Turns out I'm not that bad!
It's just that time has passed, and that conclusion made him happy at the time, and now it makes him worried, last year, there were two classes in the third grade of the school, and there were nearly 100 people, and only three of them were admitted to the first middle school. This is also understandable, and the junior high school admission rate in the three towns under the jurisdiction of the county is definitely the highest.
The best junior high school in the county, the county experimental middle school, and the children of all the institutions in the county are studying there, and if the promotion rate does not reach 60 percent, which parent agrees? It is estimated that the principal will not be able to continue immediately, and the school will not be able to continue. In addition, the junior high schools in the other two towns in the county will account for at least half of the places, and the remaining half, nearly 1,000 people from 12 middle schools compete, you say that it is not fierce.
In such a grim form, Feng Yiping did not dare to guarantee 100% that he would definitely fight his way out, not to mention Xiao Zhijie!
The main purpose was achieved, Feng Yiping slept well that night, firstly, he was in a good mood, and secondly, the hardware was good. A big bed, bigger than the school, he and Xiao Zhijie slept together, very loose. And Xiao Zhijie's home conditions are really good, and there is a quilt under the mat. Most of Feng Yiping's families in their village are still paddled with straw, and Feng Yiping's family is also matted, with straw underneath and mats made of bamboo strips on top. In order to prevent lice from growing in the straw, the straw is sprinkled with pungent six-six powder. The mat is still broken in some places, and it should be mended with cloth, otherwise the slices will cut the meat.
didn't sleep in the morning, Xiao Zhijie pulled Feng Yiping in bed for a while, and it was not even seven o'clock when he got up.
They washed it, and the hot egg noodles were served. In Feng Yiping's bowl, there are very few noodles, all meat and eggs. You can't let go of your belly to eat in the morning, because you have to go to the mountains later, and you can't walk after eating too much.
Xiao Jianping and his wife each picked up a basket, and Xiao Zhijie and Feng Yiping both carried a long bamboo pole and walked up the winding mountain road behind the mound, walking for nearly 20 minutes before arriving at the place.
There are two persimmon trees, which are many years old, and they are very tall and large. The leaves are almost gone, and only the golden persimmons on the branches remain. Different from harvesting chestnuts, when harvesting chestnuts, as long as you hit the chestnuts with a bamboo pole, it can fall off, anyway, there is a shell outside, and it can't be broken.
Persimmon is different, you have to clip it down one by one or strings, take the bamboo pole and beat it, one will break it, and the other will break it if it falls on the ground, so it can only be used to feed the pigs - so this is a very delicate thing.
However, harvesting chestnuts and persimmons is still more popular with children, and you can eat it when you harvest it. For example, now, Xiao Jianping went up to the tree and sandwiched down three ripe persimmons, one for Feng Yiping and Xiao Zhijie, and one for the husband and wife.
The other persimmons are tender yellow, hard and hard, ripe, and the color is yellow and red, soft and soft. Peel off the outer layer of thin skin, and the juice flows out, and the flesh inside is basically juice, not astringent at all, sweet, cool, and with a natural fragrance, very delicious.
However, be careful when eating, it will be difficult to wash off if it sticks to your clothes. So when eating, Xiao Zhijie said to his mother over there, "Be careful when you eat, so as not to stick to your clothes and not wash them clean." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, simply walked to the pond on the side, finished eating, wiped their mouths with their hands, and washed their hands along the way. Xiao Jianping grabbed the soil directly from the ground and rubbed it away.
It was Xiao Jianping on the tree, pinching off the top of the tree one by one, strings and handing them to Xiao Zhijie's mother. As soon as Feng was tall, he held the shorter bamboo pole, circled along the tree on the ground, and clamped down all those that were enough, Xiao Zhijie took it and put it in the basket one by one.
No matter how you say it, this is also a hard work, there are persimmons in front of the long bamboo pole, one is fine, if it is a string, at least it weighs a pound, Feng Yiping has no strength in his hands, and he only accepts a small half basket and changes shifts with Xiao Zhijie. Xiao Zhijie didn't take long to clip it, so he rotated with him, Xiao Jianping and his wife never rested, and the two little comrades rested four or five times in between.
When the sun rises in the middle of the day, it's finally done.
Xiao Zhijie's mother said, "You two have good eyes, look in the tree to see if there is anything missing." ”
The two of them circled around the tree a few times, and Xiao Zhijie really found a place, and there was one hidden under a withered yellow leaf. Feng Yiping also found one, broke a fallen branch, and covered one.
Xiao Jianping tidied up in the basket, piling up his basket to the full, and Xiao Zhijie's mother's basket was much shallower.
Feng Yiping and Xiao Zhijie walked first with bamboo poles, and one of them was carrying a string in his hand. This is deliberately left, a large section of branches are clamped down, persimmons are still knotted on it, so take it home and hang it in a ventilated place, you can eat it during the New Year, not only sweet and delicious, but also clear the fire to relieve greasy.
Back at home, the two of them cooked the rice, fed the pigs, and watched TV for a while, before Xiao Zhijie's parents arrived home with the burden.
After eating, let the two of them go back to the room to sleep for a while, Xiao Zhijie's mother knew that her pickled vegetables were not good, and she was afraid that Feng Yiping would not be used to eating them, so she took a basin to the concubine's house and took half a pot of pickles and pickled cowpeas.
In fact, they couldn't sleep at noon on Sunday, and both of them were good children who listened to the teacher, and they wanted to go back to school after lunch. There is no alarm clock, and when I sleep, I am afraid that I will oversleep, be late to school, and I can't catch up with the evening self-study, so I got up from the bed in less than half an hour.
In addition to two bottles of pickles, Feng Yiping also put a bottle of canned pears and a pack of biscuits in his bag, and when he was delivered to the entrance of the village, Xiao Zhijie's mother handed the bag in her hand to Xiao Zhijie, "It is fried peanuts and melon seeds, give some to your classmates, and eat the rest separately, eat the peanuts first, otherwise you will come back to life after a long time, and tie the mouth of the plastic bag tightly every time you eat it, otherwise the skin will fall off." ”
She came over and smoothed Feng Yi's hair, "Ask Xiaojie to bring back the clothes and quilts for me to wash, and if the clothes are torn, I will also ask Xiaojie to bring them back, it's okay." Usually, if your grandfather is okay, he will come with Xiaojie, and the two of you will have a companion together, and you can also help him with tutoring. ”
Feng Yiping said, "Okay, aunt, I will, you can go back." ”
Xiao Zhijie also said, "Mom, go back, remember not to ask Dad to drink more, let's go." ”
When I arrived at school, it was still past three o'clock, and there were not many people coming, and it happened that Wang Changning had just arrived, and my grandfather brought Feng Yiping a bag of fried soybeans. Xiao Zhijie went to buy a large bottle of soda, took out peanuts, melon seeds and fried soybeans, put them on the table, and pried open the two cans, so as to start eliminating them now, and not eat in the cafeteria at night.
When Huang Jingping came, Xiao Zhijie kindly asked her to come over and sit, but the girl at this time was still very reserved, and refused with a smile, so Xiao Zhijie grabbed a lot of them and sent them to her.
Looking at his dog-legged appearance, Feng Yiping and Wang Changning laughed while eating.
