Chengbei Elementary School

This primary school is different from other primary schools, and there is no uniform teaching force.

In other words, there is no clear distinction between the first and second grades among the teachers, and there is no separate teaching of which one.

Compared to modern society, the education here is very backward, but compared to other times, it is quite good.

There are only a few teachers in elementary school, and usually one teacher is responsible for more than 100 students, so in general, it depends more on luck and personal talent.

There are 100 people in a school, in and out, many of them have stopped learning for a year or two, and the school is not compulsory in this kind of thing, it is all forced by parents.

The tuition fee of two yuan per semester is not high, but it is not something that ordinary families take out casually.

Many families have no savings, only food and things, and if they want to spend two yuan, they have to sell some food, vegetables and firewood.

Going to school is not just about paying two yuan for tuition, but also a state of medium [full-time], that is, a period of separation from production, during which you can't work for the family at any time, can't go to work and take care of the house, take care of your younger siblings, feed the chickens and pick up things, and so on.

In rural families, giving birth to children is a labor force, and as long as they are raised until they are three or four years old, they can help a little, and they can only be given some food and clothing, which can take at least more than ten years.

Therefore, if you let your child go to school, not only will you lose the manpower during this time, but you will also have to do many small things by yourself, and you will be busy.

Not only are there not enough people, but they also have to pay for books and some money that they don't need at all.

Children with knowledge will be disobedient, and there will be more attitudes that adults can only correct with slaps and fists.

Generally speaking, the ratio of men to women in this school is normal at the beginning, but the higher it is, the larger it is, and the proportion of women will decline rapidly.

Especially in junior high school, most of the women who go to school are in the county, and the girls in the township start to marry and have children after the age of 14.

At present, the school has not yet opened, and when it is close to spring plowing and harvest, it is the time of school holidays, and the students of each school need to help each family.

Even the children in the county town have to help the family work at this time.

Completely detached from production and doing all your best to prepare for the exam, this kind of thing can only be done by big families in big cities.

The school is not big, a classroom, an office, a toilet, a yard.

Wang Lanling came to the vicinity of the school, where there was a large persimmon tree, and there was a chess platform under the tree.

The school is a blue-tiled house, which looks more than ten years old, and in such a small place, more than ten years can be considered old.

There are also messy fallen leaves near the gate, and no one will clean them after the holiday, so it is estimated that it will take a while to become lively.

These two days are the time of spring ploughing, and after about a week, the fields will be idle, and then it will be time for school to start.

Wang Lanling sat here for a while, and it was good to be quiet alone once in a while.

After thinking about things for a while, Wang Lanling heard a voice behind him, turned his head to look over, and saw a girl holding a cow walking and looking here.

When the girl saw Wang Lanling, she shouted happily: "Wang Lanling, why are you wearing this?" ”

Wang Lanling thought about it for a while, and thought of who this thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl was.

It's a classmate from a school (class) with himself.,The kind of study that's still very good.,It seems to be what the family does.,I can't remember clearly.。

"It's a long story, it's more troublesome, what are you doing here?" Wang Lanling asked casually.

The girl led the cow to Wang Lanling's side, and was very happy to see her classmates.

"I'm going to herd cattle, and I'm going home!"

Wang Lanling looked at the thin cow next to the girl, this is not a buffalo, it is taller than a buffalo, but it is thinner.

The cattle here are used to plough the land or pull carts, the meat is for consumption, and the skins can be made into tanning.

"Why are your cattle so thin?" Wang Lanling was more curious about this.

The girl quickly said: "If you are not skinny, you will be fat if you eat more." ”

It's not easy to keep a cow at home, and no one wants to see a cow get thinner.

Wang Lanling had nothing to do, so he stood up and said, "Where is your house?" I'm going to the east side of the city, can you take me there? ”

The girl shook her head, "No, you can't ride it, it did its job today, and it hasn't recovered yet." ”

It is not possible to ride a bull, even if it is usually possible, it is not allowed during the spring ploughing period, and the cart is pulled by people.

Wang Lanling looked at this cow and always felt that this cow was a sick cow.

"Wicker, how much is a cow?"

The girl's name is wicker, which is very much in line with the local characteristics of naming women.

Zhang Zhu's beads are abacus beads, and there are not many people who can use abacus here.

Wicker thought that Wang Lanling was asking casually, so he said: "Sixty yuan, my father knows the cow killer, I said at the last dinner, every time that person kills a cow, he will give the cow bones to my father, and our family can often drink bone broth." ”

The county seat is not small, nor is it big, it is densely populated, and it is normal for neighbors to interact with each other.

Wang Lanling wanted to buy this cow proudly, but sixty yuan was still too much, and he was not the kind of person who was lavish.

Wicker looked at Wang Lanling's clothes and said curiously: "Wang Lanling, whose clothes are yours?" ”

"My own." Wang Lanling said lightly: "I am an official." ”

Wicker quickly narrowed her eyes, with a look of disbelief, "Brag, don't be ashamed!" You study so poorly, how can you become an official! ”

Wang Lanling didn't know how to explain it, and the fact that he was an official was largely because the county magistrate didn't understand him at the beginning.

If it were someone who knew Wang Lanling's old background, of course he would not be deceived by those words.

It's just that Wang Lanling's performance after taking office is quite okay, whether it is the county commander or the state pastor, they all acquiesce in this matter.

If no one pursues the procedure, then the procedure is fine.

"I'm an official anyway." Wang Lanling tidied up his collar with both hands, there was no need to explain this matter.

Wicker didn't believe that Wang Lanling could be an official, but she didn't have any ill will towards Wang Lanling.

Although the county seat is large, everyone's activity time and route are very fixed, especially when the farm is busy, and those who dare to run blindly will be beaten.

"Isn't your home in the north of the city? What are you doing in the east? Seeing Wang Lanling walking eastward, Wicker led the ox and followed.

Cattle are taller and bigger than wicker, but they are docile and honestly led by the nose.

Wang Lanling explained: "I have a new home by the river. ”

"Then I'll go to your place to play in the future!" Wicker is still a girl, because of schooling, she is not too resistant to the relationship between men and women, and because of her age, she also has a good impression of some boys.

Wicker just treats Wang Lanling as a classmate who has a good impression, although Wang Lanling is very thoughtful and does not bully girls, he is a good boy.

It's just that the study is a little bit worse......

Wicker still likes to study well as boys, and only regards Wang Lanling as a friend.
