In the Jiang family in the upside-down room in the front yard, Li Tong curiously observed Jiang Tianming, the second eldest of the Jiang family, grinding medicine under the guidance of the old man Jiang. The process of medicine grinding is to grind the Chinese medicinal materials into fine powder, so that they can be subsequently made into pills, powders, ointments, pills and other medicines.

Jiang Tianming sat on a small wooden bench, his feet on the grinding wheel rolling back and forth grinding the Chinese herbs in the grinding trough. Don't look at the action of grinding medicine is very simple, in fact, there is also knowledge in it, grinding medicine to use ingenuity, can not blindly use brute force to step on it.

First, the resistance will become greater and greater, resulting in the inability to last long, and the coarse and fine particle size of the crushed herbs will also be inconsistent. The most correct way is to use the power of the waist to drive the legs and the roller linkage, the strength of the control is particularly important, only to do the free retraction of the roller to make the roller roll rhythmically and regularly, in order to get the perfect powder.

The medicine mill used by Jiang Tianming is a blue and white porcelain mill about 30 cm long, as for whether it is an old object or an imitation mass-produced by a factory workshop, Li Tong does not have this eyesight.

"Aunt Jiang, this is our family's electricity bill, you have collected it, and my mother asked me to say thank you to you!" Li Tong handed the gross ticket in his hand to the Jiang family who came out of the back room.

"Your mother is really, what's the urgency of this little money, and she specially let your child run hard to send it over." After Jiang took the money, he looked at Li Tong and praised: "Third boy, my aunt heard that your results in this exam were very good, and you were praised by the head teacher, right?" ”

"This time it's purely a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, and the exam questions happen to be my own." Li Tong was very humble.

In last week's all-grade exam, Li Tong failed to put away his pen and achieved the second in the class and the ninth in the whole grade.

"What is the humility of your child and aunt, good is good, bad is bad, I also want you to help our family more in your studies. I don't expect him to be in the top 10 of his grade like you, as long as he doesn't count backwards. After Aunt Jiang finished speaking, she looked at Li Tong with an expectant gaze.

"Aunt Jiang, as long as he is willing to study hard at dawn, I will definitely be able to help him improve his grades." Li Tong took care of the road.

"Third boy, what you said is serious, auntie, from now on, I will leave all the learning to you? If he dares to disobey, you should be beaten and scolded. "Jiang Shi didn't mention how happy he was when he heard this.

In fact, it's no wonder that Jiang is so happy, after all, it was a very good thing to have a child with excellent academic performance and suddenly rise to tutor his son in his studies.

At that time, there were no crazy tutoring institutions, and there were no private tutoring classes for teachers, and most of the parents, like Jiang, had just lost their illiterate hats, so it was better to let them tutor their children to study, so it was better to give them a hoe and let them go to the countryside to farm.

Who tutors who doesn't necessarily care?

According to the information obtained by Li Tong throughout Nanluoguxiang, the enrollment rate of school-age children in every household was almost 80 percent, but the rate of elementary school students dropping to less than 10 percent, and it can be said that the vast majority of primary school students were blocked from the junior high school gate at that time.

The initial admission rate has increased to about 50 percent, which also includes a small number of people who choose to apply for the technical secondary school, when the former students are happy or sad about whether they can pass the admission score line after the college entrance examination, they have graduated from the secondary school and began to enter the workplace. They are not expensive college students and do not enjoy the treatment of state cadres, but most of them will become factory technicians or grassroots officials in municipal factory units, and their monthly salary is about 33 yuan, which is far better than that of ordinary workers.

As for the children who were screened out at the beginning of their careers, what should they do? There is no school for them to look at their children, and if they catch up with the fact that there are many children and the parents are still dual-income workers, then they can only work hard for the elderly to watch their children at home.

When the child grows up to the age of 16, he is a formal unemployed youth, and he has a way to go home early to take the recruitment form home, and if he has no way to go, he can only wait for the street to arrange a job. Whether it's a cleaning team that sweeps the streets, or a bathhouse worker, you only have one chance to be assigned to work in this life.

You can resent or complain that the jobs assigned to you are dirty jobs that no one wants to do with low wages, but once you do refuse the assignment, you are not only blacklisted on the street, but also a drag on your family. When the districts start to issue quotas for young people to go to the countryside again, you must not feel sad about your parents' behavior of packing your bags in advance.

I mentioned before that the six-year primary school is a four-two-point system, the first grade to the fourth grade belong to the junior primary school education, the fifth and sixth grades belong to the upper primary school education, don't look at the primary school education, people with a high primary school education will have a certain advantage in many things. For example, the second uncle Liu Haizhong often complained that when he ran for the head of the workshop production team, he pressed him because his opponent was a high school education, and then he was slow step by step, and now everyone has become the deputy director of the workshop, and he is still an ordinary worker.

Among the four children of the Jiang family, the highest education is the third Jiang Hehua, a junior high school student, who will be admitted to high school next year, and the study pressure is very high. Jiang once thought about letting Jiang Lotus take his younger son to study, but the effect was not good, and the two children often fought, and now there is such a person as Li Tong who is excellent in learning and is the same age as the youngest son to stand up and help the child's learning, Jiang is really not too high.

"At home, don't sit there, hurry up to the shop to weigh a pound of eggs, and then see if there are any green onions, let's treat the 'little teacher' I invited for the child at home today." Three boys, you will have dinner at your aunt's house at noon today, and your aunt will make you scrambled eggs! ”

"Okay, then I'm definitely not leaving." Li Tong grinned.

It's not that Li Tong is full of self-confidence, it's really that the small promotion of this era is not too simple, in total, only two subjects of arithmetic and Chinese are examined, and the question types over the years are all very similar, and the similarity is extremely high.

The most important thing is that Li Tong really doesn't think that learning is a difficult thing, smart children will take advantage of learning, but isn't the story of Zhongyong also telling them? But anyone who can take out the strength to chisel the wall to steal the light, and the head cantilever beam and stab the strands, can also achieve excellent results by rote memorization.

In fact, behind the matter of making up lessons for Jiang Tianliang, Li Tong has other plans, and today he happened to meet Jiang Shi when he mentioned this matter, and he agreed to it. Otherwise, Li Tong will also find a way to take over this matter, after all, according to the specific practical operation of his plan, it is still necessary to find suitable mice for sample testing.

And Jiang Tianliang, who is third from the bottom of the class in terms of academic performance, is a very good guinea pig.

Seeing his mother and Li Tong laughing so happily at each other, Jiang Tianliang, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, saying what was in his heart, every time he saw Li Tong laughing like this, he knew that someone was going to be unlucky.

Now it seems that this unlucky bastard is probably himself!
