Chapter 0002: The Embarrassing Situation
However, even if everything can only be done slowly, after all, I have the memory of being 256 years ahead of the times, and there are still many benefits.
Thinking that in the next twenty years, he will appear in the world with a face that is ahead of everyone's thinking, Zeng Wei couldn't help but feel a little proud.
No wonder everyone likes to be reborn, this feeling of being able to know everything in advance is really not ordinary sour!
………………
Because today is the day of school, a group of little kids are not in a hurry, and they are slowly rushing to school while playing. In the end, it only took half an hour to travel, and it took more than an hour.
Zeng Wei and the others arrived at the school, some of the students who arrived first had already been organized by the teachers, waving brooms made of Nanzhu branches and cleaning up the campus.
In fact, this is also the reason why Zeng Wei and his group are not busy on the road, for a group of teenage kids, it is always good to be lazy.
After entering the school gate, a group of people separated, each rushing to their respective classes.
Zeng Wei was the only one in the third grade, and he left the army alone and walked to the leftmost classroom on the first floor of the teaching building.
When he came to the outside of the classroom, Zeng Wei found that the number plate of the second grade hanging in his memory had become the third grade.
On the podium, a female teacher in her early thirties was checking her homework, it was Zeng Wei's homeroom teacher and Chinese teacher Wu Caiyun.
Next to her, there was a teenage boy with a drooping head. Although the memory is a little long, Zeng Wei still knows that the boy's name is Huang Youjun, and his classmates jokingly call him Huangjun.
Zeng Wei walked into the classroom with his head bored, and Wu Caiyun, who was checking his homework, glanced up at him and said loudly: "Zeng Wei, hand in your homework first!"
"Oh......" Zeng Wei agreed angrily, took off the canvas schoolbag, took out his homework from it and handed it to Wu Caiyun, and then walked under the podium.
However, after only two steps, he stopped, turned his head and asked embarrassedly, "Teacher Wu, where is my seat?"
Wu Caiyun was stunned for a moment and said, "The seat has not been changed." ”
Looking at Wu Caiyun, who was immersed in checking the homework again, Zeng Wei did not move. Wu Caiyun's words were equivalent to not saying anything, and he still couldn't remember where his original seat was.
Fortunately, at this time, Zeng Wei saw a little Lori standing up and waving to him, Zeng Wei remembered that this little Lori was his tablemate Lu Yan, so he hurriedly walked over and sat down next to her.
After Zeng Wei sat down, Lu Yan asked in a low voice: "Zeng Wei, what's the matter with you? You didn't report when you entered the door, and you didn't even forget where your location was? That is, you, otherwise Teacher Wu would definitely punish you for standing outside!"
Zeng Wei sweated for a while, and said curtly: "Uh...... Summer vacation was so hilarious that I forgot ......"
Lu Yan looked at him strangely and asked, "It's too hilarious?"
Zeng Wei then remembered that it was still 1992, and they were only in the third grade, so he quickly explained: "It's just that I'm so happy." ”
Lu Yan still looked puzzled, and said: "Happy is happy, why do you want to say hi pi?"
Zeng Wei was a little speechless, and said that the child at this time was really a shaft, so he had to explain again: "Uh...... This is English, which I learned with my eldest sister during the summer vacation. ”
Of course, this explanation is also to fool little Lori. Little Lori believed it, she knew that Zeng Wei's eldest sister was already in high school, and it was normal for her to speak English.
At this time, Lu Yan looked like a little fan girl, looked at Zeng Wei and said, "Zeng Wei, you are so amazing!"
………………
On the first day of school, although things are very complicated, they are also very simple, that is, to hand in summer homework, sign up and pay, clean up, etc., and classes will not start.
Generally speaking, the first class of the school year will not be until the second or even third day of school. Because on the first or second day of school, many students have not yet paid their tuition fees and cannot receive their books.
Gudan County is a poor county in the mountains, and Qili Township is located in the mountains, and the economic situation is very poor.
Now in 1992, the country has not yet risen the craze of going out to work, most of the villagers, are in their own acres of land in the food, it is good to be able to feed a family, where is there any excess income?
Zeng Wei's family is in general condition, the family has a total of four or five acres of paddy fields and six or seven acres of dry land, in the rice and corn varieties have not been widely popularized, chemical fertilizer is also a rare commodity, the yield is very problematic, after paying agricultural taxes and all kinds of arrears, it is not much of a problem to feed a family of six, but how much surplus you want is an extravagant hope.
The school fees of the three siblings were mainly raised by selling a few pigs raised by the family. If they are unlucky, the price of meat drops sharply, or if the pigs die of discouragement, their school fees will also be problematic.
After all, the three sisters and brothers spend a lot of money a year. The eldest sister Zeng Jiao, who is already in her third year of high school, is sent to a school in the city, and it costs more than 2,000 yuan a year, plus Zeng Wei and Zeng Tong, two sisters and brothers, it costs almost 3,000 yuan.
Zeng Wei's family had good luck this year, just before the start of school, the family had just sold a litter of piglets, a full 12 piglets, and a total income of nearly 800 yuan, and the tuition fees of the three sisters and brothers were complete.
But many of the other students in the class were not so lucky, Zeng Wei took a closer look, and less than half of the students who were able to complete the payment and receive the books today were still less than half.
And the head teacher Wu Caiyun's brows were furrowed all day long, obviously anxious about this bad situation.
After all, if this continues, I am afraid that it will be a few days before the start of classes can begin.
Although the compulsory education law has been promulgated for six years, Gudan County, Xichuan Province, which is located in the western mountainous area, has not yet been able to enjoy the benefits of exemption from tuition and miscellaneous fees for compulsory education.
In Zeng Wei's memory, it took 14 years, that is, in 2006, when he graduated from university, which had become the Gudan District of Jiangzhou City, to truly realize the nine-year compulsory education.
As of 1992, students have to pay the textbook fee before they can receive their textbooks and workbooks.
Less than half of the students in the class have textbooks, and even less than two people can share a textbook, which is obviously not able to teach normally.
………………
Because it was the first day of school and the class could not officially start, Wu Caiyun released the students early, and then hurried home to work in the field.
Although he is a teacher at school, in his spare time, Wu Caiyun also has a lot of farm work at home. Especially now, it is the season to harvest corn and radishes, and there is a lot of work at home.
This situation like Wu Caiyun is actually very common, most of the 20 or so teachers in Qili Township Central School are from their hometowns, and they are all busy at both ends of the school.
In fact, it is very common for not only teachers to go home after school to do farm work, but also students to help their parents do some things after returning home, such as herding cattle and beating pigweed.
In this impoverished mountainous area, a teenager is already half a laborer.
Zeng Wei did not leave the school immediately after school, but went to the fifth-grade classroom to take a look, and found that the fifth-grade had not yet finished school, so he quietly said hello to the second sister Zeng Tong outside the window, carrying a schoolbag and planning to go home.
Just as he walked out of the school gate, he saw that a few friends were also out of school, so several people came together. Everyone is a relative, and they are partners who have grown up together since they wore open crotch pants, and they have a good relationship with each other.
When he returned home, Zeng Wei found that his parents were not at home, he must have gone to work in the field, and his grandmother was the only one at home, who was busy feeding the pigs. A few half-sized fat pigs in the pigsty may have been hungry and screaming.
This period happened to be the busy farming season, and there was a lot of work in the field that could not be done, Zeng Wei's parents were basically busy getting up early and greedy for darkness, and it happened that Zeng Wei's sister and brother had started school again, so everything in the family fell on the grandmother, who was nearly eighty years old.
Fortunately, although my grandmother is old, her health is still fine, and the work at home is barely able to support it.
However, Zeng Wei remembered that it was because of the excessive hard work in the past few years and his old age that he passed away in the summer of three years.
At this moment, Zeng Wei, although he really wanted to help his grandmother feed the pigs and reduce the burden on the elderly, but he had more than enough strength to do so, and his small body of less than one meter could not carry the bucket at all.
As a result, Zeng Wei's mood of wanting to change the situation at home became even more urgent.
It's just that he is still at a loss for a way out. After all, the foundation of the Zeng family is too thin, and after paying off the tuition fees of the three sisters and brothers, and reserving a month's living expenses for the eldest sister, there is basically no money to buy salt, and it is impossible to do anything else.
What's more, even if the family has money, it is difficult for Zeng Wei to convince his parents to do some business.
This is the so-called once bitten by a snake for ten years afraid of the well rope.
Speaking of which, Zeng Wei's family is also the first group to get rich after the reform and opening up, and they are the first 10,000 yuan household in the township.
After all, in the early 80s, it was still located in the western mountainous area deep inland, and it was difficult for a 10,000-yuan household to appear.
However, things took a turn in the year Zeng Wei was born.
