As expected, Zhou Xiaoyun's proposal was unanimously opposed by his parents.

"What did you say?"

Father Zhou was a little incredulous, he didn't expect that his eldest daughter, who had always been quiet and introverted and didn't say anything, would say that she wanted to go to school. In his opinion, although Zhou Xiaoyun has grown tall, he is still a six-year-old hairy child after all. Dabaodu is nine years old and in the first grade, and he doesn't know how to study or not, and he never knows that he has to study seriously.

Zhou Xiaoyun said again smoothly: "School will start in more than a month, and I want to go to school." ”

Father Zhou felt that Zhou Xiaoyun was a little different today, sitting at the big table and speaking like a little adult. can't help but feel some joy and pride that "my family has a girl who has just grown up", but this mood did not affect his decision:

"You're only six years old, what do you know about reading? Take Xiaobao and Erya at home, and you can help your mother release the ducks if you have nothing to do, whose children don't go to school until they are eight or nine years old. ”

Another unspoken point is that tuition fees are also a big burden.

At that time, the tuition fee was about ten yuan a semester, which was no more or less, and it was only three or four yuan for him to kill a pig for someone outside, and the eggs that the family gathered for a week were only sold for more than two yuan.

Zhao Yuzhen also agreed: "Yes, I've waited for two years, big girl." ”

Zhao Yuzhen considered similar things to Zhou's father, and in addition, the traditional patriarchal thinking in the countryside also made her never pay attention to her daughter's education. In her opinion, her daughter can do housework, be diligent, take her younger siblings to grow up, and when she grows up, she can do hand-knitting, and she can read more or less books.

In those days, the school was a high-end place for children to play, and parents and even school teachers didn't take school very seriously.

Zhou Xiaoyun was not surprised to hear such words, because she grew up listening to such words.

What "don't repeat grades", "don't do your homework when you go home, take your sister out to play", "don't go to school tomorrow when you have to harvest wheat at home" and so on, it is this kind of environment, such an attitude, this kind of education, that makes Zhou Xiaoyun, who is relatively smart, have always had mediocre grades, and after graduating from junior high school, he ended his school career and entered the society early.

If she hadn't entered the factory early to work, how could she have fallen in love, married and had a daughter early?

Zhou Xiaoyun attributed his failed life to such a point, that is, because of a mistake in childhood, which led to a wrong step in the future. Now she wants to lead her life to a broad road.

"Dad, I really want to go to school, I stay at home every day and herd ducks, and I have long learned to count. You see: 1, 2, 3 ,......"

Zhou Xiaoyun had already counted to twenty-three.

"That's good," Father Zhou's eyes lit up, what could a six-year-old child understand, he could actually count. Dabao is not as smooth as her, "My Zhou Guoqiang's daughter is smart, really like when I was a child." "I bragged to myself, remembering that I was also a smart kid when I was a child!

Zhao Yuzhen is in charge of all the small things in Zhou Xiaoyun's family, but the real key "big thing" is still Zhou's father, and Zhou Xiaoyun naturally knows who to work on.

Zhou Xiaoyun recited two more Tang poems, namely the famous "Goose Goose Goose" and "One Go Two or Three Miles", so happy that Zhou's father couldn't close his mouth, praised his daughter for being smart, and didn't let his daughter go to school The idea was shaken, thinking that the child seemed smart and clever and wanted to go to school, so he simply let her read it.

Zhao Yuzhen felt very strange, Zhou Xiaoyun wandered around in front of her all day long, and she had never seen her recite poems: "Big girl, when did you learn poetry, why have I never seen you learn it." ”

Zhou Xiaoyun had already thought about it and explained: "When my brother is reciting it at home, I will listen to it twice." ”

Dabao, who was named, didn't know how his sister's going to school was pulled to his head again, and he was at a loss. I'm thinking back to when I memorized these two poems at home, as if, as if, I don't even memorize them now:

"I won't ...... yet!"

Zhou Xiaoyun glanced at him quickly, and his eyes had a lot of meaning.

At this time, Dabao's brain also brightened, and he felt that he couldn't dismantle his sister's stage, otherwise he wouldn't want to play so happily in the future. It's not good to follow three henchworms everywhere you go, and if you let the duck go, you can't walk for two hours, how can he stand it.

As for how Dabao thought of this, it was thanks to Zhou Xiaoyun's "warning" eyes.

Dabao didn't quite understand what warnings and threats were at this time, but his intuition made him choose to help his sister round the field: "Maybe I was heard by the big girl at home before." "God knows when he memorized it.

Father Zhou touched his chin and thought about it for a while, then hesitated and said, "But ......"

"Dad, I promise to come home from school every day to help my mother take Xiaobao and Erya, and when I have free time, I go to herd ducks on Saturdays and Sundays. You're going to let me start school and go to first grade! ”

Zhou Xiaoyun raised his right hand and swore like a boy scout, not knowing that it was ridiculous for his six-year-old self to make such an action.

Zhao Yuzhen burst out laughing, "This dead girl, I learned it by calling, one by one, his father, or it will be as the child wants!" ”

In the end, it is a mother's soft heart, think about the big girl has always been honest and don't say anything, the big treasure at home is naughty and naughty, the little treasure is weak and difficult to take with the second girl and needs to be taken care of, only the big girl is the most worry-free and never bothered with any gods. Relatively paid the least attention to her, and now that she thinks about it, Zhao Yuzhen feels a little guilty in her heart.

There's no way, there are so many children. She has to do all the chores of the pigs in the chicken and duck pen in the chicken and duck pen of more than ten acres of land at home, and Zhou's father sometimes goes to kill pigs for the pig families in Sixiang and Eight Villages, and he can't take care of the family when he is busy.

Zhao Yuzhen is busy from morning to night every day, how can there be so much idle time on the child.

Zhou Xiaoyun listened to Zhao Yuzhen's words, was overjoyed, and pounced on Zhao Yuzhen's body, "Mom, you are so good, you are the best mother in the world!" ”

Erya couldn't understand what her sister was talking about, so she learned in a milky voice: "Good mother, good mother." ”

At this time, Zhou's father also laughed, and agreed ruthlessly, thinking that there was still more than a month to start school, and if he couldn't run more and kill more pigs, he would sell a little food at home, and he would always be able to earn Dabao and Daya's tuition fees.

Zhou Xiaoyun couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and laughed and shouted with Dabao. For a while, there was a deafening laughter in the Zhou family's thatched hut.
