Chapter 783: It's never too late to start

Song Cheng took a stool and sat behind Liu Qianzhou, his legs were apart, and Liu Qianzhou seemed to be sitting in his arms.

Liu Qianzhou looked at the long legs stretched out on both sides, twisted his eyebrows slightly, and there were two children sitting in front of him.

"Can you sit well?" Liu Qianzhou said as he twisted his leg.

Song Cheng got up, sat sideways beside her, and then said: "I cook at night, I won't starve her, these are snacks, you helped her eat them all, you did her a big favor, she has to thank you." ”

Ke Ming and Little Yellow Ying finally became happy, and they had no burden to eat.

The reason why Liu Qianzhou is called Little Yellow Ying is because the child is too small, and the ten-year-old child is more than half a head shorter than Ke Ming, and Ke Ming is already thin enough.

Children here are generally malnourished, and the most common foods such as rice, flour, oil, and eggs are the most precious things here.

Ke Ming said: "Big sister, there are a lot of greens in our vegetable field, I don't want your money." Our family's vegetables can't be eaten at home, so they are used to feed chickens and pigs. ”

"So extravagant?" Liu Qianzhou was unexpected.

"That dish is to eat a little, you can't eat it as rice, rice is what fills your stomach, and no one can eat enough vegetables." Moreover, you have to use oil for stir-frying. Ke Ming said.

Liu Qianzhou nodded, although the terrain here is steep, the land is still fertile, coupled with the unique climate, it makes purple potatoes and potatoes that are especially suitable for this place grow.

However, because of the production of so much, everyone would rather eat white rice than potatoes.

Because fresh vegetables have to be fried in oil, although rapeseed is also planted in every family here, from cultivation to harvest, and then moved to the town to press sesame oil, the process is not so easy.

Therefore, even if every household has a little, they are not very willing to use it, and over time, it is not uncommon to eat green vegetables.

Liu Qianzhou said: "In Yundu, that is, where I live, food is rarer than meat, everyone loves to eat vegetables, and they don't like to eat meat." ”

"Huh? Why? Ke Ming asked, "Why do you think vegetables are rarer than meat?" Vegetables are everywhere. ”

"Scarcity is expensive, in the city of Yundu, there is no land to grow these vegetables, so there are not many green vegetables, everyone will eat a little meat, but it will be healthier to eat green vegetables."

Liu Qianzhou said that he had taken off his gloves and was a little greasy.

"Sister, aren't you eating?" The little yellow warbler is more realistic, and has been burying her head in eating, occasionally raising her eyes to look at her.

Liu Qianzhou said: "Before you came, I had been eating, and this eldest brother was not ready to help me, I was lonely in eating." ”

Ke Ming said: "Big sister, do you people in big cities start going to school at a very young age? ”

Liu Qianzhou nodded: "If kindergarten is also counted, I will start kindergarten at the age of three." From the age of six, you will go to elementary school until you are twenty-two or three years old. ”

The two sisters-in-law Liang have grown up, twenty-two or three years old? So old, huh?

"Have you been reading? Why Do You Read It That Long? Twenty-three years old is a very big person. Little Yellow Ying sighed, "I'm already four years old, is it too late to go to the first grade?" ”

Liu Qianzhou shook his head: "The one assigned to the grade is not to judge how many books you have read, you are going to study, for us, it is not too late to start studying." ”

Xiao Huang Ying immediately nodded approvingly: "Yes, yes, it's never too late to start learning." ”

Ke Ming said: "My teacher said that there are no female students in the university hall, big sister, is this the case? Have you ever attended a university school? ”

Liu Qianzhou paused and asked rhetorically: "Are you asking about the university?" ”

Ke Ming nodded: "University, right university." ”

"No, there are a lot of girls, half and half boys. In some places, there are special schools for girls, and they are full of female students. Liu Qianzhou said.

"Oh, I see." Ke Ming nodded: "It will take many years to get to the university." ”

Liu Qianzhou paused and responded, "Kindergarten starts at the age of three, three years of kindergarten, six years of primary school, three years of junior high school, three years of high school, four years of college, nineteen years, and now many people will continue to study in graduate school after graduating from college, and it will be another three years, and graduate students will be followed by doctoral students." So, many people will study for more than 20 years. If the average life expectancy of a person is sixty-five, then more than one-third of the entire life of a PhD is spent in school. Sounds like hard work, right? ”

Ke Mingxiao murmured: "It turns out that it takes so long to go to school, big sister, what are you all learning?" ”

"Well, primary school students learn literacy, middle school learns knowledge, high school knowledge and reason, and college students have the ability. Of course, the most important thing is to learn to read and write, and you can see what people write when you go out, right? Liu Qianzhou asked.

Ke Ming whispered, "We definitely can't let me learn so much, big sister, the tuition will still be very expensive, right?" ”

"I've heard they don't want money." Little Yellow Oriole said.

Liu Qianzhou said: "Primary and secondary schools are nine years of compulsory teaching in my country, and after high school, you have to spend money, ranging from tens of thousands, which is a little more expensive. ”

The sadness on Ke Ming's face can be seen, "Then I definitely won't be able to go to college, I seem to see what college is like." ”

Liu Qianzhou buried his head and did not answer, every child here is sad.

"Sister, what is college like?" Ke Ming asked.

Liu Qianzhou said: "A university is a place where a group of young people gather to study, full of vigor and vitality. Well, when you go to college, you have a lot of time to do your own thing. Choose what interests you and learn. ”

Ke Ming obviously didn't understand, she asked, "What are you interested in?" ”

Liu Qianzhou was silent and said: "That is to say, some people will cultivate their own interests and hobbies, mainly to enrich themselves. In addition to specialized classes, you can choose to learn a few foreign languages, nutrition, dancing, music, or practical cooking. ”

"Oh, it feels good." Ke Ming's eyes were full of yearning, and she asked in a low voice, "Big sister, how can I go to the university?" ”

"You study hard now, there is a entrance exam after middle school, if you can be admitted to high school, then study for another three years, take the college entrance examination, and be admitted to university." Liu Qianzhou said.

"Doesn't it cost a lot of money?" Ke Ming asked, what about tens of thousands, she didn't even know how much it was in her dreams.

Liu Qianzhou said: "After you go to high school, if you still have the idea of continuing to study, you can come to me, and I will give you my contact information, my mobile phone number and my home address." When you learn to use a computer, you can also contact me online. All right? ”

Ke Ming looked at Liu Qianzhou as if he didn't understand, and basically knew what Liu Qianzhou wanted to help her.

"Do I have to go to high school?" Ke Ming asked again.

Liu Qianzhou corrected her: "No, you can only think about going to college after you are admitted to high school." After being admitted to high school, the next step is college. If you didn't go to high school, you wouldn't be able to get into college, right? ”

Ke Ming nodded: "I know, thank you, sister." ”

She suddenly picked up the food box given by Liu Qianzhou, "Sister, thank you, I'll go back to read first." ”

Liu Qianzhou was stunned for a moment, and immediately persuaded: "Don't be in such a hurry, can you eat something more?" ”

"No, no, sister, we've taken it all away for you, let's leave these for you to eat." Ke Ming said.

Liu Qianzhou nodded: "Okay, in fact, I also like efficient people, you wait, I'll write you my mobile phone number and contact information." But you can only know this yourself, you can't share it with others, is that okay? ”

"I'll remember it!" Ke Ming said.

Liu Qianzhou took out a pen and paper, wrote down the contact information on the paper, and handed it to Ke Ming, "Mingming, study hard, you can do it." ”

"I'll work hard, sister, thank you for helping me."

When Ke Ming left, he called Huang Ying: "You can go too, my sister is resting after being disturbed." ”

"Oh." The little yellow warbler was a little smaller, and she didn't know so much, and asked with a puzzled face: "Then why did you leave suddenly?" ”

"I'm going back to review my homework, aren't you leaving?" Ke Ming asked.

"I don't have any homework to review." Huang Ying said, "Then can you teach me one more word?" ”

"Okay, don't run over to disturb my sister too often, I'll teach you." Ke Ming said.

Huang Ying said, "But you have to teach me to write my mother's name." ”

"Yes, I'll teach you to write, you can leave quickly."

The two children discussed it and left the resettlement house before and after.

Liu Qianzhou's face was pale, and after sitting quietly for a while, a smile came to his face.

"As long as there is hope, life becomes colorful." Liu Qianzhou said with a smile.

Song Cheng looked at her and asked in a low voice, "Are you going to help that child?" ”

"I want to do something for these kids, but I don't know what to do. The curiosity in Ke Ming's child's eyes is very moving, if she has good grades and can go to high school, I don't mind helping her. But the child here is good if she can recognize a few words, and whether she can go to high school or not, the chances are slim. ”

Liu Qianzhou shook the gloves he took off in his hand, and Song Cheng saw it, raised his hand to take her away, and threw it aside.

"Wash your hands."

I fetched a basin of water for my aunt and grandmother and put it at Liu Qianzhou's feet.

She didn't move, and he immediately got his hands on her and pressed her into the basin.

Liu Qianzhou said: "How far is the well from here?" ”

Song Cheng said: "I don't know, don't worry, I won't let your girl go over to fill water." ”

"I want to say, it has to be solved, I didn't see a well near here, but there is a small river at the head of the village, is it in that river for their daily life?" Liu Qianzhou asked: "Do you want to go to such a far place for washing clothes or something?" ”

Song Cheng paused: "There is a small pond next to Huang Ying's house at noon, which is to store water, and it should be used in ordinary life." Therefore, although there is not much water source, every household should also find a way to dig a pond next to their home to store water to meet their daily needs. As for the draft, it should be in the well. ”
