In previous years, the report card of the unified examination of the primary school in the township was not obtained until three or four days after the exam, but this year, it was sent on the morning of the third day, which was more than twice as fast as before.

This is also something that cannot be helped, the whole village is merged, the desks, chairs and benches of each school have to be moved, the teachers' dormitories over there are arranged, the students are classified, the canteen is expanded, and new wooden beds are made...... A whole lot of trouble. If we add the opportunity for the private teachers from the county to become regulars, most of the primary school teachers will not have the leisure to change the test papers for two or three days, eat good food for two or three days, and then go back slowly, write comments and send report cards to students.

More importantly, the large-scale conversion of private teachers in Tonggu County not only caused an uproar in the city, but also alarmed the province.

Li Jiaming couldn't get involved in the teachers' affairs, but when they returned home with the transcript in advance, the whole house was boiling. Before I saw the report card, just listening to the children's blows and Li Jiaming's guarantee was enough to make people happy, and now seeing the results in black and white, the parents are so excited that they want to set off firecrackers for the New Year in advance.

Rejoice!

Jin Mei, Man Mei, and Wen Mei took the top three in the first grade, Gui Mei was the first in the class, and the fine dog was the fourth, and even the most unpromising Mao Tong in the past was actually the second in the class, and the first time was not the top three in the class, this is simply smoke on the Taigong Grave!

Usually there is a happy event, everyone is killing a chicken to celebrate, now such a big happy event, the bold Uncle Chuan Mengbo waved his hand, to kill the New Year's pig in advance, and treat this group of reading boys and sisters. Then go to the graves of the grandfather, the mother-in-law, and the three yes (uncles) and aunts, and thank them for the blessing of the heavenly spirits!

Killing the New Year's pig is a big deal in the countryside, and you have to invite your grandfather, mother-in-law, father-in-law, brother-in-law, and if you have a student at home, you have to invite a teacher in the school. Now it is mainly for Li Jiaming and his group of scholars and sisters to kill the New Year's pigs, so naturally thanking the teacher is the top priority.

Seeing that Uncle Chuan Meng was about to take the fine dog and himself to the school to ask for a teacher, Li Jiaming hurriedly stopped several uncles who were about to go out to invite other guests. Today, I went to invite the teacher to eat pig-killing rice, and I definitely couldn't invite it.

"What? They're not coming?"

Several adults stared at Li Jiaming suspiciously, and he had no choice but to explain: "Uncle Chuanmeng, you didn't watch yesterday's TV news, provincial and municipal TV stations are reporting on the transformation of our county into a regular private teacher."

Now the township is engaged in the merger of village and primary schools, and there are also private teachers who have become regulars. Teacher Mao and Teacher Deng are all private, how can they come to our house to eat at this bone joint?"

That's right, in the past few days on TV, I have always seen the county magistrate and secretary saying, 'No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education, and no matter how hard you are, you can't lose teachers'. If it weren't for the news in the past few days, how would they know what the county magistrate and secretary are like?

"Yes, yes, when they were teachers, they didn't eat a few meals of pig-killing rice, and when they had the opportunity to become regular, how could they still have the heart to come to eat with us. Forget it, let's wait until they're done, and then we'll kill the pigs and invite them to dinner.

Hongying, Hongying, kill a few chickens, I'll go to the countryside to buy vegetables, everyone have a good meal!"

When Li Jiaming and they went out in the morning, Aunt Hongying and the others caught the chickens, and the hairy and thin dogs may lie, but Jiaming will not lie. He said that everyone did well in the test, then they must do well in the test, this is all blessed by the ancestors, of course, they have to go to the grave to worship more.

"I know! Ancestors, ancestors, you take chickens to sacrifice to Taigong, Yeye, and two uncles. And you guys and sisters-in-law are all going to kowtow to the princess and them, and ask them to bless you with better and better grades!"

"Hey", Uncle Chuanzu and Uncle Chuanzong agreed, and hurriedly went to the sister-in-law's kitchen to get chicken, and then asked Li Jiaming to call the fourth and third brothers, and then took a group of children up the mountain. The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and Aunt Hongying has a very high status in the head of the eldest father-in-law, and she is even more authoritative than Uncle Chuanmeng, because the two little uncles are brought up by her and Zhang Luo's relatives.

To put it mildly, the Li family in Huangniping is miserable enough.

Thirty years ago, when the county was building a reservoir, the eldest and second fathers took their four adult daughters (nieces) and sons (nephews) to volunteer on the construction site. Of the three brothers, only the third brother, that is, Li Jiaming's father-in-law, was seriously ill and survived at home.

A husband and wife plus two widows and sisters-in-law have worked hard for more than ten years to pull their seven sons and nephews. After more than ten years of getting up early and being greedy for darkness, the four old people were tired of overwork, and even Li Jiaming's mother-in-law, who had the longest lifespan, only lived to sixty-one, and she died without even seeing her little sister.

However, the Li family has finally come to run, and there are actually five more sons and sisters who can read, plus Jiade and Sanyan, that is seven, this is also the first in the whole township and the county, right?

Uncle Chuanzu and Uncle Chuanzong were like drinking wine, blushing and leading a group of children to happily repair the ancestors' graves, pull weeds, and clean the sacrificial grounds, and their voices revealed unconcealable joy.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, yes, second uncle, third uncle, mother, second aunt, third aunt, eldest sister, second brother, third brother, fourth sister, do you see? These are your great-grandchildren, great-granddaughters, nephews and nieces, they are all sons and sisters who can read, and our Li family is going to prosper...... Gade, you are the best at reading, and you have won the most glory for our Li family, you are the first pillar of incense!"

The people in the mountains respect their ancestors and believe in gods and ghosts, and the fourth brother, who is usually calm and clear in everything, took three sticks of incense and respectfully knelt in turn in the princess, the mother-in-law, and the eldest father-in-law...... In front of the grave, kowtow, offer incense, pray silently, and have a pious look on their faces.

"Jiaming, you bring your brothers and sisters, you come to the second pillar of incense. ”

"Hey", Li Jiaming is also like the fourth brother, making incense, kowtowing, incense, and praying silently.

'Father-in-law, mother-in-law...... , you must bless Yeye with good health, bless your sister with good health and study, and bless your second uncle and second aunt...... , bless the hairy stone, the fine dog ....... ’

"Sanya, you get the first place in the whole grade every year, and you will definitely be able to go to college in the future to win glory for our Li family, and you will come to the third pillar of incense. ”

"Hey", after Li Jiaming was 'sensible', the third brother, whose treatment had directly declined, also solemnly poured incense, kowtowed, incense, and prayed silently.

Next is the lowest-paid Mao Yan with a group of little guys to incense, and the second and third sisters, who are also reading girls, are selectively forgotten by the elders. When Li Jiaming went to call the fourth brother and the third brother, he called the second sister and the third sister, but one didn't want to come, and the other didn't want to come.

After the reading girls and sisters finished the incense, the happy uncle and uncle went to kowtow, put incense, pray, and set off firecrackers.

In the quiet mountains, the sound of crackling firecrackers suddenly sounded, and the echoes were endless, and the second aunt, who was taking the insoles in her kitchen, looked at the third sister who was sitting by the fire in a daze, and said coldly: "Third sister, I heard it, Sister Man and Sister Wen also went to worship their ancestors." I heard Jiaming say that the results of Manmei and Wenmei can be ranked in the top ten in the township. Tut-tut, one is six and a half years old, and the other is five and a half years old, and they have won the test for seven or eight-year-old sons and sisters, and they will be bad in the future. ”

The second aunt's words made the third sister's head lower lower. A few days ago, she was still more aggrieved than ashamed, but now all the grievances are gone, and she is only left with no place to embarrass herself. Jiaming is a genius, and it is understandable that he can't compare, but Manmei and Wenmei were just two little slugs half a year ago!
