The compulsory education law was promulgated only two years ago, and the concept of nine-year compulsory education does not exist in rural areas at all.

Most of the children in the village return to agriculture after primary school, and only a few go on to junior high school, among which boys are the majority, and girls are rare, and the dropout rate is very high.

Not to mention the rural areas, even in counties and towns, there are not many people who can complete the nine-year compulsory education step by step.

Li Xia can study until the third year of junior high school, she studies well is certainly one aspect, and more importantly, Li's father attaches importance to education to earn money, does not favor sons over daughters, and can afford three children.

"If you want me to say, it's already good for a girl to graduate from elementary school." The eldest lady in the village looked at Li Xia with appreciation, opened his mouth with only two teeth left, and said tremblingly, "Li Xia, you are the eldest sister, the eldest sister is like a mother!" It is to take on the responsibility of supporting the family, this family, in the end, has to rely on the male to set up the household, and it is right to give Li Nan the opportunity to go to school, don't you say? ”

"That's not the reason." The village chief took a sip of wine and smiled in agreement.

Other people also think that what are girls doing when they read so many books, and in the end they don't marry into someone else's family, they can read and count.

"I don't want this opportunity!" Li Nan was angry and aggrieved, her sister studied so well, why should she drop out of school! If a man has to come to the door, then he should take responsibility!

His eyes were red with rage, his fists clenched, and he looked like he was about to do something without saying a word.

"Xiao Nan, this is the master, be polite." Li Xia reached out and clenched his fist, clenching.

Li Nan shook off her hand and twisted her face to the side.

"Xia Xia studied well, it's a pity to drop out like this." Receiving Luo Fengxian's glance at him, Zhou Qiyi hurriedly spoke out.

Probably afraid of revealing his true emotions, Zhou Qiyi's face was very tight, and his tone was a little stiff, after thinking about it, he emphasized again, "Learning is a must!" ”

But he never mentioned the Zhou family's sponsorship of Li Xia's three sisters and siblings.

……

Coming out of Zhou's house, Li Nan walked in front angrily, Li Yang took Li Xia's hand and followed behind with sorrow.

As soon as she got home, Li Nan lost her temper with the door and slammed the door, startling Li Yang, who was chasing behind, but Li Xia reacted quickly and pulled her away.

"Li Nan! Who taught you to slam the door when you lose your temper! Li Xia was ready to tell Li Nan, but his face immediately became serious when he saw this.

Li Nan turned his head to look at her with red eyes, still looking like he was about to explode, but the hand holding the door was put down.

"Sit down, let's talk." In the end, Li Xia relented, dragged a stool and put it in the courtyard, beckoned Li Nan to come and sit, and Li Yang moved a small stool to sit over.

Li Nan still wanted to be stubborn, thinking why did you call me to go over, I have to go, you said before that you dropped out of school and didn't see me to discuss it, but Li Xia swept over with a look, and Li Nan still moved over.

In order to show that he was angry, Li Nan's face was full of reluctance, and as soon as he sat down, he moved a chair and sat farther away, turning his head not to look at Li Xia.

"......" Lixia.

"If you get angry in the future, don't slam the door again, drop anything, just now I pulled Yangyang, if it's a little later, she will be photographed by the door." Li Xia looked at Li Nan, her younger brother is good at everything, but he doesn't care about his temper.

In my previous life, I often clashed with people and fought.

If she hadn't stopped her just now...... Thinking of this, Li Xia was suddenly stunned, when she was at the Zhou family, Li Nan was obviously angry, but she still stood beside her and didn't leave.

It was she who took it for granted.

"Xiao Nan, my sister apologizes to you." Li Xia softened her tone, "What I said before, I didn't discuss it with you in advance, it's my sister's fault." ”

Li Nan snorted, although his head did not turn back, his gaze had already moved to Li Xia.

"It happened suddenly." In his previous life, Luo Fengxian didn't come out of nowhere.

Of course, the situation in this life is completely different from the previous life, in the previous life, Li Xia was sick, sitting by Luo Fengxian's side honestly, it is enough for her to show and care, and there is no need to ask for credit.

"There are some things that I can't tell you in detail for the time being, but the words of dropping out of school are for them, and I won't drop out of school, I can assure you." Li Xia said softly.

At this time, Li Nan had already sat up silently, listening intently to her, and when he heard Li Xia say this, he looked up at her.

Li Xia looked into his eyes, "After a while, I will make things clear to you as it is, no matter what I do during this time, you just need to believe me." ”

"Why take a while!" Li Nan is still a little uncomfortable in his heart, he is not small anymore, can't he still share it for his family?

Li Xia reached out and took Li Nan's hand, and then held Li Yang's, "Because there are some things that I am not sure about myself." ”

"Sister, I listen to you." Li Yang nodded obediently.

Li Nan twitched his hand, but he didn't pull it out, and only after a while did he reluctantly say "um", seeing that Li Xia didn't react, as if he didn't hear it, he said awkwardly, "Listen to you." ”

After speaking, Li Nan was silent, "I won't throw things when I'm angry in the future." ”

"Yangyang, I'm sorry."

……

In the early morning, Li Xia got up early as usual to prepare, and when she heard the movement, Li Nan also got up to help, but she couldn't rush away.

Li Xia simply didn't rush, the sisters and brothers were busy until four o'clock, so they went to Zhou's house to borrow a tricycle together, although Li Nan was accompanied today, but Zhou Qiyi still asked Zhou Duochun to go with him.

Although Zhou Duochun had a smile on his face and looked the same as usual, his popularity was very low.

Knowing that she was in a bad mood, Li Xia and Li Nan didn't say much, and when they returned home, they loaded their things into the car and were about to get ready to go.

"I'll leave a note for Yangyang." Before going out, Li Xia was a little uneasy, "Yesterday I only told Yangyang that I was going to go out of the stall, but I didn't say that you should go too, she couldn't find anyone when she got up, so she should be afraid." ”

Li Nan and Zhou Duochun were waiting downstairs, and Li Xia went upstairs to leave a note.

It was easy to set off, but after walking less than two hundred meters, Li Xia still felt uneasy, "Xiao Nan, why don't you go back and wake up Yangyang and join us." ”

Even if the Zhou family hasn't moved their minds yet, Li Xia is always worried.

"Breakfast is sold out, we can get home at eight o'clock, no need to shout Yangyang." Li Nan thinks his sister is strange, what is there to worry about, what can happen to Li Yang at home, maybe they come back from the stall, she may not get up yet.

Li Xia couldn't tell Li Nan where her anxiety came from, but when she left Li Yang alone at home, she just didn't feel at ease, and she couldn't help but think crankily.

"No! I've got to take the rippling. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn't wait for a moment, and she didn't ask Li Nan to go back, she went back by herself, "You and Sister Duochun will set up the stall first, and I'll come right away." ”

After speaking, in the stunned expressions of Li Nan and Zhou Duochun, Li Xia hurriedly ran back.

At four o'clock, the sky was already slightly white, Li Xia ran to the door of the house in one breath, and just slowed down his pace, he saw a black shadow passing by at the gate.

"Who!"
