It's just around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and there is no one else at home, so the little girl is at home by herself.

"What about Mom and Dad and Xiaoqing?"

Wang Yuan returned to the small courtyard with the bamboo basket on his back, and hurriedly closed the fence gate to prevent the chickens from running out.

The little girl followed Wang Yuan step by step like a little tail: "Mom and Dad went to work in the field, and the eldest sister went to school."

"Go to school!? Oh, and high school is back. ”

Wang Yuan went into the house and washed his face, and while wiping his face, he glanced at the rough hand-torn calendar card - September 8, 1986.

The eldest sister Wang Qing was not admitted to the technical secondary school, but she was still competitive and was admitted to high school.

Last year, that is, in 1985, Zhongyang promulgated the "Decision on the Reform of the Education System" and decided to regard nine-year compulsory education as a fundamental cause of the construction of the four modernizations, but it is still far from implementing the nine-year compulsory education in rural areas.

It was not until 2006 that the Compulsory Education Law of the People's Republic of China was passed, and at that time compulsory education was slowly implemented.

Wang Yuan remembers that there are nearly 60 students in his sister's class, 1 of whom were admitted to technical secondary school, 3 of whom were admitted to high school, and more than 50 other people were all out of school.

After cleaning up his personal hygiene, Wang Yuan found the pears in the corner of the cabinet.

The yellow pear skin has a little spot on it, and it looks very attractive.

Take the pear and the bench to the yard, pop~ put down the bench, sit on it and eat pears, enjoy the sunset and think about things.

"Second brother and second brother......"

The little girl seemed to have endless words, she was not honest at all, and climbed towards Wang Yuan vigorously.

"Why are there so many chickens in the house?"

"Dad bought it back, and Mom said that when the chicks grow up, they will have eggs to eat."

"Are you thinking I'm a tree anymore? Climb on top of me, I'm going to beat you. ”

"Hehe~ Let me eat a bite of pear, I'll take a small bite."

"If you want to eat it, you won't go to the house to get it." Wang Yuan still gave the little girl a bite of pear, and the latter smiled and said in a milky voice: "You pear is sweet."

Chirp~

The yellow-haired chicks ran around, screaming from time to time, scrambling to peck at the pear skins, and the big white cat lying on the firewood and haystack woke up lazily, and she felt that the chickens all over the yard seemed to be her food.

After a short while, my parents came back from the field with tired faces, sweat soaked through their clothes, and the couple were very happy to see Wang Yuanhou.

The big wolf dog wagged its tail and shook its feet, humming and chirping straight into Wang Yuan's arms.

After chatting a few words in the mountains.

Wang Yuan asked about his sister Wang Qing, Wang's father moved a small bench to sit on Wang Yuan's right, lit a dry smoke and said: "Your sister is willing to study, then study, it's good to learn more."

Wang's mother was cooking in the back room, and the sound of clanging sounded.

"The tuition fee is 12 yuan a year, and then other miscellaneous expenses, meals, etc...... Xiaoqing, this girl has a tenacity in learning, but she was nervous as soon as she took the exam, and she could have been admitted to the technical secondary school, but she didn't play well in the exam......"

Wang's mother complained, she had high hopes for her eldest girl, but she was disappointed, and there was a faint worry about her daughter's future in her words.

In many places in 1986, students generally preferred to go to secondary school rather than go to high school and then university.

This is the complete opposite of the Hereafter.

Is it a reluctance to go to college?

Of course not, the main reason is that it is too difficult and too difficult to get into college, too ethereal for rural children, as illusory as a dream, very far away and unthinkable.

Can a student in a township be admitted to university in a year? I'm afraid it's enough to choke. And the secondary school is also allocated, transferred to a non-agricultural household registration, eats the emperor's grain and serves the iron rice bowl, and can also be employed early to make money - so most of the top students are willing to study secondary school.

Wang Yuan gave the pear pit to the little girl to gnaw, and the little girl shook her head to indicate that she didn't want to gnaw it, so he casually threw the pear pit to the chickens.

"It's good to go to high school, and when you go to college, you will be treated much better than secondary school students after graduation."

"Ahem...... Can your sister have that ability? College students, they are all Wenqu stars, and your sister's elm pimple ......" Mother Wang is obviously not optimistic about Wang Qing.

That's when it happened.

Wu Qian, who was dressed in gray cloth, ran over and shouted directly through the fence: "Brother Yuan, let's go to dinner, let me call you."

"What are you eating?" Father Wang smoked a dry cigarette and said curiously.

Wu Qian shouted uncle, and then said with a smile: "The old man stewed meat, let me call a few people who go to the mountain."

Wang Yuan understood that this was a treat, he shouted "Mom, I'm not eating at home" and walked out, Wang's mother walked out of the house with a heavy aluminum spoon, and after understanding the situation, she hurriedly called Wang Yuan and went to the house to take a few pears out.

"Don't go empty-handed to people for dinner, bring these pears."

"Where did this pear come from?" Wang Yuan didn't believe that his mother was willing to buy pears to eat.

"Your aunt and your uncle came a while ago and brought a basket of pears, and the families divided it."

"Oh, then I'm leaving."

Wang Yuan gave Wu Qian a pear, and then the two went side by side to call the others.

The little girl also wanted to follow to eat meat, but she was stopped by Wang's mother, she wanted to make a fuss, but she was slapped twice on the buttocks, and finally her face puffed up with tears in her eyes.

……

After calling Qi people, he came to Uncle Man's house, and Uncle Man set up a pot in the yard, and he cooed~ Pieces of pork and vegetables were tumbling in the pot, and the meat was fragrant.

"It's all here, aren't you? Sit, sit, sit~ It's not enough to move a stool, so I move wood, piers and bricks. "Uncle Man is adding firewood to the pot and is very enthusiastic.

"It's good, it's so fragrant."

Wu Qian was outgoing, so he directly moved a stool to sit next to him, and his smiling mouth was almost closed: "It's so fragrant, why did you invite us to dinner, Uncle Man?"

"This kid, what are you doing outside, you can eat at my place."

Then.

In the group of villagers watching TV in another courtyard to the west, someone coaxed: "Uncle Man stews meat to eat, is this a ginseng found on the mountain?"

"What a ginseng, let's take a look."

"Yes, yes, yes, did you dig up six leaves?"

……

The thick atmosphere of gossip rippled, and many people asked with different expressions, envy, jealousy and hatred.

"What six leaves, there are no more six leaves in Xiaoxinganling...... Come and eat the meat sprinkle and drink a little together. "Uncle Man didn't say a few leaves, but a few polite invitations.

A few extroverted young men came over to eat a few bites of meat, and asked for a long time, but Uncle Man just didn't say a few leaves, and then they went back to watch TV.

Put two low wooden tables in the yard.

In addition to Wang Yuan, Wang Shuai, Wu Qian, Liu Hui and other 8 young people, there are also two uncles, his son's family and several people in the village who are relatively close.

Everyone has a rod in their hearts, and other people who feel that they are far away from Uncle Man's family will not come to eat meat.

Uncle Man and his family are not as "losers" as his son, and they are very reluctant to use electricity, so they eat in the yard and save electricity bills.

"Eat, eat, you're welcome, I bought 20 catties of pork, it's definitely enough for everyone to eat." Uncle Man used an aluminum spoon to serve meat to everyone.
