Chapter 13: Elementary School Begins!
Time flies, and the children who have eaten peaches are ready to go to elementary school in a flash. Lin Shuang's children undoubtedly and definitely went to school in the village-run primary school. Children from five or six nearby villages are all attending this primary school. Therefore, the primary school is close to home, and there is not much need to run outside.
Qin Dou's schooling problem is a bit tangled. From Qin Yeping's perspective as an educator, of course, a good educational environment coupled with good teachers and good learning ability will lead to good results. But from the words of Old Man Qin, he didn't say: "What good teacher did we have back then?" I only learned to read and write from the army's literacy. It all depends on the individual. You have to learn well by yourself, and you can learn in any environment. If you don't learn that, it's useless to give it to a king! ”
In the end, this matter was decided by Qin Dou's children themselves. It may be that I've been used to following Lin Shuang in the outside field recently. Qin Dou's children chose to go to the village-run primary school. The reason is very sufficient, and the recognition person can't refuse: "Daddy has to go to work, and Mom has to take care of Daddy." Then I'll be here with Grandpa, so that Grandpa will be alone. ”
The reason why the grandson wants to accompany his grandfather to relieve his loneliness is very good, and Qin Yeping can't refuse. Although Doudou was only 7 years old, Qin Ye'an still decided to talk to him. "Doudou, you must know that there is a difference between the education level of the primary school run in the village and the education level run by the city. The teacher's vision is different, and the level of teaching children is also different. ”
"Daddy, do you mean that the teachers in the village are not as good as the teachers in the city?" Doudou's level of induction and summary is good.
"Yes, it's going to be a little bit different."
Doudou blinked his eyes and thought for a long time: "Daddy, let's do it." You help me get the rolls from the city. If I do more and practice more, I will definitely not fall behind! "Doudou knew about the roll when he was very young, because sometimes Qin Yeping would bring it back for wholesale. Doudou will naturally know when he sees more.
"Doudou's idea is good. Daddy think again! Qin Yeping felt that it was a good thing that the children were willing to do it. And as far as Qin Yeping is concerned, there is no preparation for the children to study in the village-run primary school all the time. In Qin Yeping's thoughts, he was going to find a nanny to help take care of his parents. When the three brothers had time, they came back to live for a while, and when they didn't have time, they often came back to see twice. Before the nanny is found, it is not impossible to let Doudou bring some joy to the old people.
Qin Yeping waved his hand and let Doudou go out to play. Old Man Qin sat on the chair and drank tea slowly: "Boss, Doudou was raised a little delicate by you, so I will raise it here for a year or two, and then you can take it back!" "Yes, as soon as the old man spoke, he naturally had nothing to say as a junior. So Doudou has been stocked in the countryside for the past two years.
There is nothing special about studying in the countryside and signing up. Take the money and take the child to show the teacher and it's okay. The next day, Doudou was excited to go to school with Lin Shuang. It's just that the good school time only lasted for half a day, and when they went home for dinner at noon, Doudou and Lin Shuang were surrounded by people.
Actually, it was Doudou who surrounded people, and Lin Shuang stepped forward to help. That's how it happened.
There is a saying that everyone should have, that is, "three years of new, three years of old, and another three years of sewing and mending." "Of course, this is a difficult time, and it is not so exaggerated to wear it for so many years, but people with many children generally wear it for younger children when they are too small. Very few children are new from head to toe.
But Doudou is that special case. Doudou is going to school, not only has his mother prepared a new schoolbag and new stationery, but also his two uncles and aunts have prepared a lot of things. So when Doudou went to school with a new schoolbag and new clothes clean and refreshing, there were naturally senior naughty people who didn't like him to look for trouble.
"Hey, imp from the city, hand over all the good things you have." When he walked behind this kid just now, he obviously saw the two of them eating high-end candy at first glance, and he was so hungry that his mouth watered.
Doudou didn't react for a while: "What good thing?" The naughty man thought that Doudou was pretending to be stupid, so he stepped forward and rummaged through Doudou's schoolbag. After a while, I found a lot of delicious food from Doudou's schoolbag. Lin Shuang saw that the situation was not right, and picked up a bamboo from the fence on the side of the road and whipped it at the naughty.
"Ouch!" The man was about to put the delicious head in Doudou's schoolbag into his pocket, and he didn't pay attention to it and asked Lin Shuang to take the bamboo and smoke it. When he turned his head and saw that it was a little girl who smoked him again, he was on fire at that time, and snatched the bamboo in Lin's hands with his backhand, and whipped it at Lin Shuang.
Lin Shuang was clever, and when he saw that the situation was wrong, he pulled Doudou and ran. Doudou has never encountered such a situation, and only knows how to run stupidly with him. After running for a long distance, and when they turned back and saw no one chasing them, the two stopped out of breath. As soon as Doudou stopped, he was patted on the head by Lin Shuang: "Are you stupid, if people move your things, you will let them move!" ”
Doudou shook his head: "I'm not stupid, I just didn't react." If this happens to me next time, I definitely won't be like this! Lin Shuang felt that this was not credible, but did not refute him. Lin Shuang felt that he was with Doudou when he went to and from school anyway, so he couldn't do it, so he just helped him go back.
While the two were walking home, they discussed: "Sister, don't talk about it when you go home." ”
"Why don't you say it?" Lin Shuang felt that this kind of thing had to be told to adults.
"How faceless I am!" Doudou thinks that this kind of thing should be a boy protecting a girl, not a girl protecting a boy. It's like the story told by my mother, I want a hero to save the beauty. And the most important thing is that Doudou thinks that if the grandfather at home knows about this matter, he will definitely laugh at him. Don't give them a chance to make fun of him!
"And Ah, sister, when you encounter this kind of thing in the future, don't rush ahead. Let me be ahead of the curve! Doudou followed up again.
"But I think you're scared stupid. If I don't help you, you're going to be robbed of everything! Lin Shuang felt that Doudou's idea was a bit problematic. If you don't help, people can empty Doudou's school bag.
"Don't help me anyway! Today I encountered this kind of thing for the first time, and I will know how to deal with it later. Doudou asked Lin Shuang very seriously that he couldn't help in the future. Lin Shuang agreed indifferently, thinking to himself, there is really something wrong, and I can't help him!
The two children who had been discussed went home for dinner hand in hand. After eating, we went to school hand in hand. Before entering the school, Doudou carefully observed and did not see the naughty person, so he took Lin Shuang's hand and entered the school with confidence. "Sister, don't worry, if I meet that person again in a while, I will definitely protect you!"
"Got it!" Lin Shuang felt that there was no need to be so careful, there were teachers in the school, they didn't dare! I don't know if it was because I was hurt by Lin Shuang at noon, or if I was afraid, and when school was out at night, there was nothing to do. The two little ones ran together and ran out after finishing their homework and went crazy.
A few days before school starts, the village is busy harvesting rice. Both of the little ones went to help. I can't do anything else, but it's okay to go to the ground and send some water and snacks. And there is one more thing that children can do, and that is to collect rice.
After the rice is harvested, it will be tied in the field, and then picked home to dry before threshing. At harvest time, it is inevitable that some rice will fall into the ground. This rice picking job is a light job, and it comes in handy if you have children at home. After putting on a straw hat, putting on a vegetable basket, and tying up the trouser legs, the little rice pickers went to work.
Starting from one end of the field and working all the way to the other, the two little ones' baskets were soon full. But Lin Shuang is a naughty person, Doudou is obediently picking up rice little by little, and Lin Shuang picked it up elsewhere. After picking up beans in someone's field for a while, and picking up the potato planting field by the river, Lin Shuang actually scooped up a few small potatoes as thick as a finger from the ground.
When I went home in the evening, Grandma Lin cut the small potato that Lin Shuangtao got and cooked the potato porridge, without sugar, and it also had a sweet taste. Lin Shuangyi ate several bowls in a row. "Sister, okay, you have to eat the potato and cook it with joy, let's cook it next time, don't eat too much at once. It's not good to eat too much. Although Grandma Lin likes to watch the juniors eat deliciously, she eats too much, and she is also worried that she will eat unsatisfactory food.
The rice was recovered, and the rest of the work was not easy. In the big threshing field, adults wore hats and masks around them, fighting in front of the threshing machine. This errand is not easy to do, and the millet rubs on the body very itchy. But in order to be able to eat new rice, this process is essential. After the rice grains are removed from the straw, they are dried. The dried rice grains can be bagged and stored, and the final step of milling the rice is carried out when it is time to eat. After the Lin family's rice was bagged, Lin Shuang couldn't wait to let Grandpa Lin grind the rice. When you eat new rice, it has more flavor than old rice.
Grandpa Lin milled a lot of rice and sent a hundred catties of rice to Lin Chenghong, who was far away in Ningxia. When Lin Zhihong received the rice, tears almost fell. It's the first time I've been away from home for so long. Lin Zhihong is very homesick. These days, the big projects have ended, and now Lin Zhihong is also taking on some loose jobs. Help someone make a table, a chair, or something. When I'm not working, I help run a sports car. I did it twice, and my income gradually increased.
"Zhifeng, you see if we should go back once. Looking at the situation at home? "Lin Zhihong is homesick and thinks so much.
Lin Zhifeng took a puff of his cigarette: "What is the return, how much do you calculate for a round trip?" We need to have so much money, so we don't run out to find work. ”
Lin Zhihong smiled bitterly twice, yes, if there was money back and forth, they wouldn't have come out to work. After returning to his lodgings in the evening, he took out all the money he had earned from his hiding place. One dime and two cents, one yuan and two yuan, ten yuan. They were all neatly folded. Lin Zhihong counted them one by one. In the past six months, Lin Zhihong has saved a total of 1,523 yuan for frugality. This is more profitable than farming at home as usual.
Lin Zhihong thought about it again and again, and decided to send the big head home first, otherwise he would not be at ease with so much money by his side. If people can't go back, they send the money back first. It's better to tell your family that you make money outside! So Lin Zhihong went to the post office early the next morning, ordered his home, and sent it home. At the same time, another letter was sent.
