Chapter 20: Uncle
"Our country is very backward, and if we want to develop, we must learn from foreign countries, learn other people's science and technology, then we must know other people's languages. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Li Mo replied vaguely.
Whether he wanted to learn English or not, he really couldn't answer.
I did learn English, which helped a very small part of the elite.
But most students, including most college students, fall victim to this process.
"Our country is backward?"
"Dad, let's use an analogy, isn't the Song Dynasty very bad."
Li Guangping nodded.
He likes to listen to book reviews, the heroes and heroes in Liangshan are forced by the officials to rebel against the people, and Bao Gong judged the case because there were too many traitors in the court, Yang Ye died of death, and Pan Renmei was harmed.
In fact, the prototype of the traitor in various commentaries may not really be a bad person, for example, the prototype of Pan Renmei is Pan Mei, the prototype of Pang Taishi is Pang Ji, Di Qing is Di Qing, even Tong Guan is much better than the other six thieves, it can only be said that he misjudged the situation in HB Hedong of the Song Dynasty at that time, and did bad things with good intentions.
But where does Li Guangping know?
According to the commentary, how dark the Song Dynasty was. Li Zhuang is small, there is no radio, Hegang Village is big, there is radio, and he is close to brainwashing education every day, and his life was poor before, look at Huang Shiren and the white-haired girl.
"Dad, in the heyday of the Song Dynasty, the charcoal seller sold for one or two hundred wen a day, and he couldn't support his family, which shows that in some prosperous cities, a laborer can earn more than two hundred wen a day. Poor areas may be between 50 Wen and 100 Wen, on average, plan to 100 Wen, how much was 100 Wen worth in the Song Dynasty? In the Song Dynasty, each bucket of rice in Tokyo City was 70 to 100 yuan, and a bucket of 12 and a half catties, that is, 12 catties to 16 catties of rice could be bought in the capital. In the southeastern region where rice is produced, such as us, you can buy about 20 to 30 catties of rice. On average, it is planned to be 20 catties of rice, that is, people do a day's work, and earn at least 20 catties of rice a day, that is, at least 20 catties a day. ”
The price of rice is somewhat one-sided.
At that time, the price of goods in the Song Dynasty was 1,000 yuan for a fine silk horse, a pound of wheat was two and a half yuan, a pound of salt was an average of more than 40 yuan, a pound of ordinary tea was 50 yuan, a pound of pork was more than 20 yuan, mutton was 70 yuan, and a small stir-fry was more than 10 yuan.
If all of these are converted, one hundred yuan can be equivalent to more than three yuan now.
But there was still the 1978 algorithm in 1978.
All kinds of invisible subsidies, such as the cheap fees for studying and seeing a doctor now, are secretly subsidized from above.
The big collectives no longer need the peasants to pay additional taxes.
The average monthly wage of urban workers can reach 20 yuan, and since it is to be calculated, this vast group must also be pulled into the calculation.
In addition, everyone is poor together, even if the cadres of each brigade are at most food and clothing, not well-off, there is no obvious huge gap between the rich and the poor, everyone feels like that, and there will be no complaints.
So in the 80s, some international students went to foreign countries, and after seeing the gap, they were reluctant to come back.
In fact, they don't know that from this year, a magnificent tide that shocks the world is coming.
Taken together, the per capita income of the Song Dynasty at its peak was about three times more than three times the current per capita income, and less than six times. Therefore, we cannot use words such as class and exploitation to describe ancient times, if there were the current productive forces and technology, we would not know how much wealth we would have created during the great rule of ancient times.
But by 1995, China's per capita income was basically similar to that of the Song Dynasty. In the 21st century, the per capita income of the Song Dynasty will be greatly expanded.
Li Mo couldn't speak clearly, Li Wenping calculated in his heart, and after calculating, the per capita income of the dark Song Dynasty was actually more than ten times the current per capita income.
What's wrong?
"It's not as good as ancient times, isn't it very backward, do you want to learn from other people's experience and knowledge? That's why I have to learn English. ”
"Then you won't be able to learn English when you go to Hatojo."
"I couldn't learn English when I went to Hatojo, but I was able to buy all kinds of books I needed to study on my own. Not only English, but also physics, chemistry, and biology when I go to junior high school, so I don't have to lay a good foundation now. Now I am the first in Nangang Primary School, and when I go to junior high school, I will become fifth, and if I go to high school, I can even become average, and can I still be admitted to university? ”
This is a serious matter.
And Li Mo does have the ability to "self-study", it is self-study, he only took the second-grade exam this summer, and he also took the first place.
Li Mo said again: "I just asked my grandmother to take me to buy books, not to borrow money from my uncles, and go home after buying books, without asking for help, what kind of face do I lose?" ”
"Then you can go." Mother said from the side.
At the end of this year, at the beginning of 1979 according to the solar calendar, a group of farmers in Xiaogang Village were anxiously waiting for the judgment of fate, but Li Mo took his important step slowly like a small steamer.
The former is greater.
But both actions are aimed at changing their own fate.
Li Guangping gave fifteen yuan.
The books are cheap now, but Li Mo has a lot of books to buy, and fifteen yuan is not enough, but Li Mo has accumulated dozens of yuan of "private money" in the summer, which together is almost enough.
I went to my third uncle's house.
In his previous life, Li Mo went with his grandmother once in 82, when he was still young, he couldn't see the expression of an adult.
Now that I know, some of the words are really hard to hear, especially the tone of this third uncle's evaluation of Li Guangping.
Let's just say it, I should stay in an angry inn.
In addition to this third uncle, there is also a second uncle, but Li Mo has never been there in his two lives, and he doesn't want to go, he doesn't know where his family is, he only knows that he has a daughter who married to Misukou, Jiangbei.
With this kind of resistance, Li Mo is also destined to be an unpleasant trip.
Otherwise, he will bring his winter vacation homework, and then talk about his grades, which may make the third uncle's family look up to him.
But no, it's just that grandma said something, and she couldn't say it clearly.
The third uncle laughed in his heart, what is the big deal about the first place in a rural broken school, and it is still a grade skip. What is primary school, primary school is to lay the foundation, if the foundation is not solid, what good results will there be in middle school? Are you really one of the geniuses in the junior class of HKUST?
In fact, he really thought wrong, with Li Mo's real strength, he is only studying from the third grade of primary school now, which is the real foundation. As long as you put a little effort into it in the future, not only in elementary school, but also in junior high school and high school, your grades will not be bad.
Grandma was anxious to explain for her grandson, Li Mo didn't speak, he got up early the next morning, filled a kettle with water, and put it in his schoolbag, there were no books in the schoolbag, no homework books, but there was a thick notebook, and a thin stack of rice paper, and then said: "Grandma, uncle, I will go to the library, and I will not come back at noon." ”
"Go ahead, do you know which bus to take?"
"I know, I've asked my fourth cousin."
The third uncle's family also has many children, some have a family, some have not a family, Li Mo has to call his cousin and aunt.
"Then go ahead."
Li Mo bought a few steamed buns, got on the bus, and came to the library, which is located on the island in the middle of the lake in the mirror lake of Jiushi. However, there is also a headache, there are many books in this library, but not everyone can go in casually.
