At noon on a hot day, adults don't want to go out at all, so there are only little dolls, climbing mountains and drilling forests under the sun.

Qiuyue deliberately came to find Huan, thinking of going to the mountains to pick black plums together.

Black plum, the product of the official midsummer, in fact, the fresh plum that has just been picked can only be called green plum or yellow plum.

Plums must be made by a special smoking method or soaked in salt water at night, and after ten days, hoarfrost grows on the plums, so that they can be called black plum or hoarfrost plum.

Because of its acidic nature, black plum can be used as a health medicine for many diseases in traditional Chinese medicine.

It is often used for lung deficiency and cough, diarrhea and dysentery, as well as ascaris and abdominal pain, so most of the purchase stations are to collect.

Since I tasted the sweetness of selling chestnuts before, I will pick some simple and common medicines in the autumn moon, although the price is not high, but it will not confuse the wrong picking, and it is also a relatively stable income.

Qiuyue's father is in better health this spring, and he can also do some easier work in the field, plus Qiuyue's second master, two people can have a half-person work.

Now there is also a subsidy for picking medicine and mountain goods in Qiuyue, and the life of the three people is also enjoyable, and Qiuyue is much more lively than before.

Qiuyue happily said to Duan Huan: "I'm going to go to school when school starts in the fall!" ”

"It's good to go to school, I can read and learn arithmetic!" He replied cheerfully.

"Huanhuan, can you go to school too, then we can be together every day?"

"I'm afraid it won't work, my ancestor said that I am still too young, and I will have to wait a few more years!" In fact, it also means to enjoy yourself.

Because she doesn't want to sit in the elementary school classroom, learning addition, subtraction, multiplication and division with a group of little kids, up, middle, and down, she feels like a melon when she thinks about that scene.

Qiu Yue was full of interest when she talked about going to school, "I thought I would definitely not be able to go to school, watching Chunsheng go to school, not to mention how envious I was in my heart, yesterday I only learned that my father had already prepared my tuition fees!" ”

"Your dad is so reasonable! You see, none of the girls in the village have ever gone to school! "I feel that Qiuyue's father, He Mingrong, is a rare reasonable person in the village.

This is probably also related to He Mingrong's early years, when he broadened his horizons outside, otherwise he would not have married Qiuyue's mother, a young lady who had read books

Qiu Yue nodded and said, "Mmmm! My father said that no matter the boy's children should go to school, the boy can go to the army if he doesn't study, and the girl has to marry early and have a baby if she doesn't study, and she will be trapped in the village for a lifetime! ”

"In fact, it's the same with male babies, even if they can be soldiers, they can't be cadres if they don't have culture!" Huan Huan added.

Qiu Yue sighed, "But there are few boys in the village who send boys to study, otherwise everyone can go to school together!" ”

"Maybe the conditions don't allow it, or maybe it's because I think I can't read it!" I feel very sorry, but I can't change anything.

Qiu Yue felt very reasonable when she heard this, and when she talked about the money she spent going to school, she felt that her father really had nothing to say to her.

In the village, who can spend all the old money in the family to let the girl in the family study, it is estimated that in addition to her father, only Grandpa Xu can have this courage.

"Also, the money I had when I was in school was saved by my father for several years, and my father had not taken it out for so long before he was sick, saying that the money was originally intended for me to go to school!"

"Not everyone has your father's vision, the country always has to develop, and intellectuals and cultural people are indispensable," she whispered to Qiu Yue:

"Let's study hard and learn knowledge, so that we can fill in those shortcomings, instead of nesting in the village for the rest of our lives and turning our backs to the loess!"

Qiu Yue was stunned for a moment and said: "Why do you say that your little brain is so bright, you are almost exactly the same as what my father said,

He said that even if he can't find a good job after studying, it is easier to become a barefoot doctor and technician than to work in the fields after learning some medical skills or techniques after reading and reading. ”

"I am also taught by my ancestors," Duan Huan hurriedly summed up his statement, "There are so many children in the village who can't afford to go to school, we should cherish the opportunity!" ”

After staying in the village for so long, he can't do the kind of thing that doesn't hurt his back when he stands and talks, after all, this is the status quo in the countryside now, and most adults are pretending to be full of food in their heads all day long.

As for the doll going to school, if you have money, you will go to school for two years, and if you don't have money or the doll can work, you will drop out of school and come back to work and go to work.

The current teaching conditions are also poor, and many teachers in the village and even in the commune have been studying for a few years, and they can learn basic literacy and arithmetic.

As for these teachers engaged in these educational work, they are all private teachers who earn work points, and they may not even have been to the provincial capital once, and they have not read a few books to broaden their horizons, so what dry goods do they have to teach their students about the outside world and the future?

Not to mention the methods and strategies to motivate and encourage students to go to school.

With the news occlusion and no one to guide them correctly, many dolls go to school and don't know why they want to go to school or what is the use of going to school.

After a few years of aimlessness, I felt that it was useless to go to school, so I dropped out of school one after another.

When she was in the third year of junior high school in her last life, her father had several projects in the field and couldn't go home once in a few months.

Her mother was also in the critical period of evaluating the title of professor at that time, and she couldn't take care of her at all.

So I hired a nanny and aunt who was over 40 years old to wash and cook for Duhuan, and take care of her diet and daily life.

Duan Huan still remembers that aunt, looking at the study and living room of Duan Huan's house full of books, showing that very envious expression.

When asked why, my aunt was a little embarrassed to say that when she went to school, it was the craziest period of the cultural storm.

At that time, the school was closed, and she didn't have much heart to study on her own, thinking that reading was not as good as cutting pigweed to earn a share of the work.

Later, when the school reopened, she had forgotten all the lessons she had learned, and simply dropped out.

When the storm ended, the educated youth in the village were admitted to the university and returned to the city.

She was envious, but it was too late by then, because she was already married and had no chance to study again.

So she envied cultural people all her life, and also admired intellectuals.

Her husband didn't like her patriarchy, she only had two daughters, and he didn't let them study, so she divorced in a fit of rage.

She lived alone with her two daughters, worked hard to work as a nanny, and finally provided for her two college daughters.

Duan Huan remembers that the nanny aunt, when she finished doing housework, often held the children's books of her childhood and read them with relish.

The nanny aunt has worked in the family for more than four years, and she has read all the books on the bookshelf of Huanhuan, and even some of the professional popular books of Huanhuan's parents have been read by her.

This incident touched Duan Huan very much, which directly led to Duan Huan's lifelong reading habit later.

Although the life of the previous life was a little shorter, Duan Huan really insisted on reading every day, and did not slack off for a day.

Even when I went to Nepal to travel to Nepal and encountered an earthquake, after I finished calling 12308, I could calmly take out an e-book reader from my carry-on bag and sit next to the tent to read the book.

The person next to him either felt that Duan Huan was sick in the brain, or stretched out his thumb to give Duan Huan a capital suit.

In fact, reading books sometimes can't change the status quo, but it does make people have a stable state of mind and indescribable courage.
