After the class cadres were elected, the framework of a class was also roughly set up, and Principal Wang then gave an order, and a group of first-grade freshmen, including Yu Mingyue, began the first thing that needed to be completed by the whole class in unity and cooperation - cleaning.

Caiyun Village Primary School covers a small area, and there are not many buildings, a total of three houses with red brick walls and tiled roofs, a small toilet for men and women that are also made of red bricks, and a large playground. The outer ring is surrounded by a red brick wall, and it becomes a typical village school of this era.

Among them, there are three red brick houses, one with four classrooms, one with four rooms for teachers' offices, and the northernmost building with three rooms is the dormitory of two regular teachers who live in other places in the school, and the two teachers are husband and wife, and these three houses are considered to be the homes of the two.

In front of the three houses, there is a large rectangular playground of about 1,000 square meters, and on the east side of the playground is a red brick toilet divided into men and women, and the school gate is next to the toilet. On the north side of the playground, next to a row of classrooms, four flower stands were built, one for each class. In addition to these, the rest of the open space next to the playground track was dug into a circle of vegetable fields of different widths, which were planted by the teacher and his wife for their own food.

The large playground is half dirt and half concrete, and it is divided into two pieces on weekdays, which are cleaned by two classes, and the toilet is divided into one piece, which is cleaned by one class, and the freshmen of the first grade clean their classrooms, if there is anything else, that is, to take care of the flowers and plants in the flower stand in front of their classes.

Don't look at the six or seven-year-old babies who are not big, but most of the children of such a big age in the countryside have to help the family sweep the floor and wipe the table or something on weekdays, so it didn't take half an hour, under the command of Yu Mingyue, a group of little children not only cleaned the classroom, but even the flowers in the flower stand in front of the classroom were removed from the grass and watered.

Seeing that although the classroom was not cleaned spotlessly, but the windows were bright and clean, Yu Mingyue was still very satisfied, and then informed Yang Xiaobao, a member of the labor committee, to invite Principal Wang to come to the acceptance inspection, Principal Wang was obviously very satisfied, and after praising everyone for a while, he told everyone to come to class on time the next day, and then informed everyone that they could go home from school.

Yu Mingyue had been waiting for this moment for a long time, as soon as the old principal Wang finished speaking, the babies in a class were boiling, and they began to pack their schoolbags with their hands and feet, and when they were shouting and laughing loudly, Yu Mingyue grabbed the schoolbag that had already been packed, pulled Yu Mingyan, who had also packed the schoolbag, and rushed out of the classroom in a hurry.

The front feet ran out of the classroom, thinking of the stunned expression of the old principal Wang when he staggered past him just now, Yu Mingyue paused, turned her head and said politely to the old principal Wang: "Goodbye, teacher." ”

"Goodbye, old teacher." Yu Mingyan obediently shouted, but was pulled away by Yu Mingyue before she finished shouting.

It's no wonder that Yu Mingyue is so anxious, when someone from a village of her eldest aunt's family came to her house to sell fruits a few days earlier, she said that her eldest aunt Yu Zhifen would send some fruit tree seedlings to Yu Mingyue's family on September 1, the day of the start of school for her two daughters in junior high school.

As for Yu Mingyue, there is also a big good news that she wants to tell Yu Zhifen in person, so she can't wait to go home from school early, otherwise, when the students in the previous class grabbed the broom and rags in the classroom and didn't do their business, Yu Mingyue would not be a good bird again.

The Yu Mingyue sisters ran away, and the old principal Wang came back to his senses, shook his head and walked out of the classroom with some tears and laughter, looking at the little figures of the Yu Mingyue sisters who were about to run to the school gate, and smiled: "Hehe, this is like a child's temperament." ”

"Yo, Principal Wang, what do you see? Look at you smiling so happily. A man in his forties, not tall, white and chubby, was walking past the door of the classroom, smiling and looking in the direction of the school gate.

"That, the two little girls of the Yu family in my class who produced a team, especially the one named Yu Mingyue, I heard from everyone earlier that she was very precocious and sensible, and I observed it for a while today, not only is she generous and neat, but also very assertive, although the actual age in the class is not very old, I still chose her to be the class leader. When I was cleaning, I didn't disappoint, I was really like a little adult, and I commanded the students in a class obediently. But just now, as soon as I announced the end of school, the students in a class were still cleaning up and playing in the classroom, and she pulled the little girl named Yu Mingyan from her father's house, running faster than a rabbit, and she was about to run out of the school gate in the blink of an eye. Hehe~~" Speaking of this, Old Principal Wang shook his head and laughed again.

"Huh." Teacher Ma also smiled, swept in the direction of the school gate where there was no one anymore, and said with a big grin: "It turns out that the little girl's scientific name is Yu Mingyue, her nickname is Xiaoyue, and everyone who lives around here knows that she is a very diligent little girl, according to me, not only is she diligent, but she is also a thief, in the autumn of the previous year, it was she and her cousin named Xiaoyan, who caught a black snake that was more than two meters long and weighed three catties to buy it."

Teacher Ma said a little weakly, and quickly explained with a smile: "Hehe, I heard her say that she caught it when she was tearing the old mulch film in the field, and I saw that she caught it with a lot of effort, and my Xiao Chen had severe rheumatism and pain, so I accepted it for 5 yuan, but I also told her that she couldn't catch snakes to sell, and I wouldn't collect them again if I caught them, and I was also worried that she would catch snakes and be bitten or something, and it would cause a lot of trouble when the time came." ”

Mr. Ma is a foreign teacher who has set up his home in the school, his wife Mr. Chen has strict rheumatism, and when it rains a lot in autumn, it hurts badly, he heard an old Chinese medicine doctor say that snake gall bladder and snake meat stewed grass are very effective in treating rheumatism, so he dared to catch it a few times to give it to his wife, and the result was really effective.

He was not very bold, and with limited time and energy, he asked the bold boys in the school to catch snakes and sell them to him, but after being known by the old principal Wang, he stopped him, and talked to him in private, and analyzed the powerful relationship between him, if the students encountered any danger because they listened to him to catch snakes to sell, it would not be a trivial matter, and the light would be to compensate for the cost of the soup and medicine, and if it was heavy, he might not even be able to keep the teacher's public position, so even if this teacher Ma still quietly accepted the snakes caught by the students, he did not dare to let the old principal Wang know on the surface.

Just now, as soon as he was happy, he accidentally leaked his mouth about Yu Mingyue catching a snake and selling it to him, and then thought that Yu Mingyue was now a student in Principal Wang's class, for fear that the principal would pursue it, so he explained so embarrassingly and guaranteed it.

At this time, when Principal Wang heard that Yu Mingyue, a little girl with a big fart, dared to catch snakes and sell them for money two years ago, and when she was still a big snake more than two meters long and weighing three catties, she was also stunned. He really couldn't imagine that such a well-behaved little girl would have the courage to catch such a dangerous and poisonous thing as a snake?

When he recovered from the shock and saw the uneasiness on Mr. Ma's face, although he was a little angry in his heart, he didn't blame anymore, but just said in a concerned tone: "Is Mr. Chen's rheumatism better this year?" I also heard that the use of snakes in medicine to treat rheumatism is indeed effective, but it is not trivial to let students catch snakes, even if it is just those students who want to catch snakes in exchange for some spare money, but as long as there is a problem, the school will not be able to get rid of responsibility, if Teacher Chen's condition is really necessary, I think Mr. Ma, you might as well make some effort, find the village who will catch snakes and say, let them catch and sell to you, it is better than you scattered collection of small snakes caught by students. ”

Teacher Ma thought that he was secretive, but he didn't know that Principal Wang had already known that he had quietly collected a few snakes from the students in private, and he was even more embarrassed for a while, so he had to promise again and again that he would not do it again, and even if he collected snakes again, he would only collect them from the villagers in the village.

Yu Mingyue pulled Yu Mingyan all the way to run fast, she didn't know that she caught snakes and sold them two years ago, and she already knew about them by her current head teacher, in her previous life, Teacher Ma had been collecting snakes from the villagers, and she and her brother-in-law didn't catch snakes to sell, so that she caught snakes was a trivial matter. Two years ago, when she and her cousin Yu Mingyan were tearing the old mulch film in the field, they saw a black snake weighing more than two catties, she was so happy that she caught it and sold it to Teacher Ma without thinking about it, and got 5 yuan, she immediately divided two yuan with Yu Mingyan 5, and afterwards told her cousin not to tell the adults in the family, so until now, no one in the family knew that Yu Mingyue dared to catch the snake.

Yu Mingyue has been selling snakes since that time, and seeing that snakes are still valuable, she actually wants to catch snakes again and sell them to Teacher Ma, but she doesn't know how, anyway, she hasn't encountered snakes that are big enough to exchange for a few dollars, as for those that are too small, Yu Mingyue is not interested in catching them, thinking about it, grabbing a snake that can't manage any money, and running to school, not to mention the trouble, it's really not a cost-effective thing.

When Yu Mingyue dragged Yu Mingyan all the way home, Yu Zhifen really arrived, but with Yu Zhifen, there was also Li Guoying, who was supposed to be in the third year of junior high school this year.

"Second cousin, why don't you have to go to school today?" Yu Mingyue asked, and stepped forward to take the hand of this fifteen or sixteen-year-old young girl with a round baby face.

This person is the second daughter of Yu Mingyue's aunt, named Li Guoying, her face looks like Yu Zhiqing's temperament is like Yu Zhifen, and she was also very good to Yu Mingyue in her previous life.

"Hehe, Xiaoyue has grown taller again, and she has grown a lot of meat." Li Guoying chuckled, picked up Yu Mingyue and looked at it for a while, then took out a free hand, touched Yu Mingyan who was standing on the side and looked at her and smiled, and said seriously: "If I don't study well, I'm not going to go to school anymore, so I can only go home to farm, Xiaoyan, you and Xiaoyue will go to school this year, you have to study hard in the future, and when you have a diploma in the future, you can enter the city as a national cadre, and fight for your family and your parents." She didn't seem to pay attention to the fact that she couldn't go to school in the future, and smiled and encouraged Yu Mingyue and Yu Mingyan to study hard.

Seeing Li Guoying smiling indifferently, Yu Mingyue was still a little sad in her heart. Yu Mingyue knew that her second cousin was studying quite well, maybe at this time, like in her previous life, she wanted to reduce the burden of the year, so she dropped out of school, after all, her third cousin was also admitted to the first year of junior high school this year, and the tuition and living expenses for a year were also several hundred yuan, and their family could not afford it.

Unlike in her previous life, she was already capable of helping. Thinking of this, Yu Mingyue suddenly felt very confident, and opened her mouth to persuade: "Cousin, are you worried about tuition, don't worry, I saved some money, and my family too"

Before Yu Mingyue finished speaking, Yu Zhifen, who was sitting next to her and talking to Kong Xiaoyu, chuckled and said: "Hehe, Xiaoyue, you kid, you have a lot to worry about, your second cousin doesn't want to let you go to school, she is a girl's family for so many years, and it is enough to know so many words, plus your eldest cousin may be married next spring, your second cousin, it is good that she can go home to help me now, otherwise I really can't take care of the affairs at home." ”

Big cousin is getting married next year? yes, it seems like next year but she marries that man

When Yu Mingyue was stunned, Kong Xiaoyu also opened her mouth to persuade again: "Yes, eldest sister, hasn't Guoying always studied very well, I also said just now, if there are any difficulties in your family, Zhiqing and I are here."

Before Kong Xiaoyu's words of persuasion were finished, Li Guoying had already smiled and said: "Aunt Xiaotang, I really don't want to study anymore, don't persuade my mother anymore, I volunteered to go home to help the family do farm work, don't look at my studies are good in the class, but our teacher also said that it is impossible for me to be admitted to the secondary school with that grade, even if it is difficult to be admitted to high school, even if he hehe, so instead of wasting an extra year in school, it is better to go home early to help the family share some of it, my sister studies better than me, and the hope of our family should be pinned on her." ”

Li Guoying chuckled on his face, but he was also a little bitter in his heart.

Rural people like her, if they study well enough to be admitted to the technical secondary school, even if the family smashes the pot and sells iron, she will definitely be able to finish the three-year secondary school. But her grades, the teacher said that there was no hope for the secondary school entrance examination, only the high school entrance examination is still hopeful, but after three years of high school, she may not be able to be admitted to college, after all, how difficult the university is, she has heard the teacher say, so she doesn't want to increase the burden on the family because of her slim future, and spend so much more money.

When Li Guoying said and thought of this, Yu Mingyue also thought of it, originally she wanted to take this opportunity to repay some of the love she owed her aunt's family in her previous life, but when she saw the resolute attitude of their mother and daughter, Yu Mingyue was a little sad and a little disappointed.

But for a moment, Yu Mingyue, who was still crawling in Li Guoying's arms, had bright eyes, and smiled happily: "Cousin, great, it's actually okay if you don't go to school, let me tell you, I have already agreed with my grandparents a few days ago, and I am going to let your family go to the city to open a shop and do some small business, I have been waiting for my aunt to come today to ask her if she is willing, if you don't want to go to school, it is just right to watch the shop in the city with your eldest cousin in the future, and the money for doing a small business by yourself will definitely not be worse than being a national cadre and worker after studying." ”

This is indeed good news, after getting the consent of Kong Mingying and Yu Tianzhou earlier, Yu Mingyue was arguing and wanted to be the first to sue Yu Zhifen today, so even if Kong Xiaoyu saw Li Guoying drop out of school earlier, she wanted to say it, but she still didn't say it, at this time, Yu Zhifen's mother and daughter were surprised when they heard Yu Mingyue say it, and looked at Kong Xiaoyu in disbelief.

Kong Xiaoyu smiled a little embarrassedly, and proved: "Yes, this idea was first proposed by Xiaoyue, Xiaoyue's grandmother and grandpa also think this idea is good, just now I was going to tell the eldest sister you, but I thought that Xiaoyue, the child, was arguing a few days ago, and I wanted to personally tell the good news to the eldest sister, so I also hehe, I thought that she would come back from school soon, so I didn't say it just now." ”

After getting Kong Xiaoyu's confirmation, Yu Zhifen's mother and daughter believed it, Li Guoying's face was red with excitement at that time, after all, she had read some books, and naturally knew what a good opportunity it was to be able to do business in a long store in the city, and just looking at the current situation of her brother-in-law's family, she also knew that it was definitely good to go to the city to see the store, so she directly looked at her family's old lady Yu Zhifen with an expectant face.

When Yu Zhifen heard that the news was true, she was also happy, but then she thought about it, but she was a little hesitant. Not to mention how much capital it costs to open a store in the city, she doesn't have a charter in her heart for what kind of store to open, and her home is too far away from the city, so it doesn't seem realistic to run back and forth into the city every day to open a store, even if

Yu Mingyue didn't expect Yu Zhifen to be worried about this, seeing Yu Zhifen's embarrassed face, for fear that Yu Zhifen would not agree, she hurriedly said: "Auntie, opening a shop in the city and doing a small business can really make money, not to mention anything else, even if I let my two cousins sell vegetables or fruits, I can earn at least 100 yuan a day, isn't it more than earning more than doing farm work and farming at home, and my family also has a house in the city for my cousins to live in, my grandfather and my mother live in the city now, It's convenient and hassle-free for my cousin and my grandparents to fire together every day, really. ”

Yu Mingyue was also too anxious, so she told her earlier plans one by one, but the words behind her really solved the difficulties in Yu Zhifen's heart.

I heard that there are people living in the city, and you can also make a fire to cook, and there are Yu Tianzhou and Kong Mingying on the side to help take care of it, there will be no problem in terms of safety, Yu Zhifen is also moved, but then she is a little worried.

"Xiaoyu, this, let Guoying go to the city to trouble my second aunt and second cousin, will this be the two elders" After Yu Zhifen's heart was moved, she actually just wanted her second daughter Li Guoying to guard the store in the city, her eldest daughter will get married next spring, and it is easy to fall into the hands of people when she goes out to do business. But at the thought of bothering Yu Tianzhou and his family, he was still a little uneasy, after all, Yu Tianzhou and Kong Mingying didn't like Yu Zhiqing to get too close to them, real blood relatives, and the stinginess of the two elders, Yu Zhifen knew it in his heart.

When Yu Mingyue proposed that she wanted Yu Zhifen's family and Yu Zhihui's family to open a store in the city, she had already taken into account all the details, including food and accommodation, and when she proposed it to Yu Tianzhou and Kong Mingying, she also said that she would let the two people who were guarding the store in the city live in the row house west behind the shop.

There are four rooms in the west, one of which Yu Tianzhou and two old people live, and one is used as a kitchen, if Yu Zhifen and Yu Zhihui's family really decide to go into the city to open a store, there are still two empty rooms, just enough for Yu Zhifen and Yu Zhihui to live in the two shopkeepers, so Yu Tianzhou and Kong Mingying discussed for one night, and agreed to Yu Mingyue's suggestion.

Yu Tianzhou and Kong Mingying were able to agree so happily after only thinking about it for one night, in fact, there is a small part of the reason because since Kong Xiaoyu was running moon rice wine on the full moon, Yu Zhifen's sisters hid firecrackers and did not embarrass Yu Tianzhou, Kong Mingying had a lot of good feelings towards the two sisters. And most of the reasons are because since the birth of the two twin boys of Dalong Xiaolong, Yu Tianxiang named the two boys, which indirectly shows Yu Tianxiang's attitude, Kong Mingying and Yu Tianzhou are grateful on the one hand, and on the other hand, when Yu Zhiqing is close to his blood relatives again, he has a lot less mustard in his heart, and he is also willing to get close to Yu Tianxiang, including Yu Tianxiang's two daughters.

Things have developed to this point, and it can be regarded as a matter of course, Yu Zhifen's family now has no old man in charge, and Yu Zhifen has always had the final say in the family, so after Yu Zhiqing came back from selling vegetables in the afternoon, he asked Yu Zhiqing to give the staff a look at the matter of opening a store, and finally, after some discussion, Yu Zhifen decided to open a shop that sold vegetables and dried miscellaneous goods in a shop that Yu Zhiqing chose for her, and depending on the candidates for the store, Li Guoying, who had just dropped out of school, was decided.

Yu Zhifen came this time and brought more than 100 fruit tree seedlings to Yu Mingyue, including 25 chestnut saplings, 30 grafted pear saplings, 57 peach saplings, and 10 cherry saplings.

After lunch, Yu Mingyue was excited and excited and called Pu Xiaoqiang and Yu Mingyan to help plant trees, and they forgot to inquire about who the man Li Guoqiong might marry next year, and Li Guoying has always been diligent, and when she saw that Yu Mingyue and a few people were going to plant trees, she also went to help.

After Yu Mingyue and a few people planted the fruit trees and watered them, and ran home, Yu Zhiqing had already made a decision with Yu Zhifen to open a store, after Yu Mingyue knew, although she felt sorry for her eldest cousin Li Guoqiong who could not enter the city to open a store, and was a little worried about Li Guoqiong's marriage, but at the same time, she was also very happy for Li Guoying, who could enter the city to open a store.

Thinking that if there was no accident, the man Li Guoqiong married was still Wang Xingwang, who was a little lazy and loved to drink and beat people in his previous life, Yu Mingyue felt a little irritable, but she couldn't run to her eldest aunt right away, saying that Wang Xingwang was not suitable, so she had to press it down temporarily, ready to wait for the opportunity to move, and see if she could try her best to make some changes.
