Zhao's dumpling shop and braised meat shop have been doing good business in the first few days after they opened.

On September 1, Xiao Hong and her two younger sisters also started school.

Yanyan is in the first grade, and she can quickly go to school in a different class after signing up.

When Xiao Hong came to sign up to pay the tuition, she said that she wanted to be in the same class as Xiao Fang.

And Xiao Fang is also a good student that the teachers have high hopes for, so they agreed very smoothly, and the sisters sat together.

Therefore, Xiao Hong also successfully entered the third year of high school.

Interestingly, there are more men than women in each class.

Although everyone says that reading well can serve an iron rice bowl, it is a first-class good thing.

But the level of teaching on their side is definitely not as good as in the better towns, as well as in the cities and provincial towns.

And there is also the old custom of early marriage here.

So much so that there are only three classes of students in the third year of high school, and there are only about forty people in each class, while in Xiao Hong's class, there are only nine female students.

This is also patriarchal, and most people think that their daughters will marry sooner or later.

Like here, it's not uncommon to marry at the age of eighteen.

This means that you can get married after graduating from high school, so you can't help your mother's family work to earn money, and you feel that you are losing money.

A girl can recognize a few words, and it's good to have read a book for a few years.

The girl who can sit here is either rich in the family or favored at home.

What's even more interesting is that the teachers are also worried that their students will not study well, so they are all girls and girls sitting together.

It's a pity that there are only nine girls in the class, including Xiao Hong, and only one girl and a boy can be at the same table.

After Xiao Hong came back with her mother, she was worried that she would not be able to keep up with her studies and would be mistaken for a straw bag beauty.

The main reason is that the last place in the class is not good, and Xiao Fang supervises her studies, so she makes up for her high school knowledge.

Now listening to the teacher's lectures, it will not be like chickens and ducks.

Of course, as soon as Mr. He, the emaciated and strict head teacher in his forties, came in, he first introduced himself, then began to roll call, and then impassionedly poured chicken soup into the students below.

"Students, knowledge can change fate... As long as you work hard, you will reap the rewards! ”

After the atmosphere was raised, Zhou Yang was appointed as the squad leader and Xu Xinning as the study committee...

"Okay, let's start handing out the test papers first, and start the bottom test."

As the teacher Xiao Hong found out, everyone's faces were as bitter as if they had eaten a yellow lotus.

Anyway, the first day is a thorough test for the teachers of each subject.

Even if Xiao Fang helped tutor before, she also reviewed it herself, but when the results came out the next day, she was ranked thirty in the class.

And Xiao Fang is just stuck in tenth place, and Xu Xinning is fourth place.

Xiao Fang saw that her face was not very good, and she was afraid that she would be careful again, so she said cautiously: "Sister, don't worry, let's take our time, there is still a semester?" ”

"I know." This ranking made Xiao Hong's face a little burned, and he could only calm down and force the review.

Now in the school, the homeroom teacher of the second year of high school is promoted with the first-year high school students.

However, many students dropped out of school in the third year of high school, and the head teacher only took the third year of high school.

Nowadays, the teachers are very dedicated, they all want the students to have good grades, they are very serious in their lectures, and of course, there are a lot of assignments assigned to them.

Xiao Hong found that there was not enough time for the first time, and before she opened her eyes in the morning, she was called up by Xiao Fang to read and memorize English.

After rushing to school to read early, I came back for breakfast, and hurried to school to start classes.

When I came back for lunch at noon, I had to go back to school to write the homework assigned by the teacher.

Come back in the afternoon for dinner, and rush back to study in the evening.

It was like this for a week, and it was finally Saturday afternoon.

The English teacher took the last class, and did not forget to ask the class representative to send a few English test papers, so he was reluctant to leave the class.

Now there are no copiers, printers, and the test papers are all ink test papers, the handwriting is not very clear, and it is easy to drop the ink, especially the hands and cuffs, which are more likely to stain the ink.

Xiao Hong put away the test paper and sighed: "Wait a minute, let's go buy a few sleeves, right?" Otherwise, the weather is cold and the clothes are expensed. ”

"Okay, let's go home first." After Xiao Fang finished speaking, Xu Xinning, who was sitting behind them, knocked her shoulder with a book and said in a low voice: "Wait a minute, let's go to the ice rink together to skate a few laps and relax?" ”

Xiao Fang shook his head like a rattle: "I don't want it!" I'm not going! I won't! ”

Xiao Hong was a little interested: "Where is it?" ”

At this time, many of the students had already left the class with a smile, and there were only seven or eight students in the class.

Zhou Yang, the class leader, came over: "It's over there at the elementary school, are you going to go?" ”

There are few girls in the class, and the male students are more tolerant of the female students.

Or some people feel in their hearts that after graduation, they will find their classmates.

And Xiao Honghong is fair-skinned and pretty, bright and lovely, which naturally makes the hearts of the male classmates who already have young thoughts want to move.

It's a pity that the teachers take this very seriously.

Moreover, the sisters do not live on campus, so there is no opportunity for male students to chat together after evening self-study.

Xiao Hong didn't expect these now.

Regardless of whether she has lived a lifetime in her dreams, she always feels old now, and she feels too young when she looks at her male classmates, like juniors.

"I'm not sure, I don't know if there's anything going on at home." After Xiao Hong finished speaking, she and her sister went home first.

At this time, it was more than two o'clock in the afternoon, when their sisters returned home, there were no customers in the store, Zhao Laosi was weaving bamboo baskets, and when he saw them coming back, he smiled: "You are back?" Sit down and rest. ”

Xiao Hong asked casually: "What about my mother?" Is Yanyan out of school? ”

There are no weekends now, and whether it is elementary school or high school, school ends at 2 p.m. on Saturdays.

The difference is that elementary school students do not have to go to evening self-study on Sunday afternoons, while junior high school and high school students will go to school for evening self-study tomorrow afternoon.

He smiled and said, "Your mother went to make soy sauce, and Yanyan hasn't come back yet." ”

Xiao Hong finally cared about the income in the store: "Is our business okay these days?" ”

Anyway, now she has handed over the matter of braised chickens to them, and only braised eight chickens a day.

The meat of the braised chicken is more, and the chicken with a gross weight of six catties can be repaired, and the net weight can be five catties, and it can also be about four catties after the marinade comes out.

That is to say, if you collect a chicken for five yuan or four and sell it for about eight yuan, you can earn about three yuan.

Probably because they are the first braised chicken shop in town, everyone is more enthusiastic about fresh food, and it can be sold out almost every day.

In other words, eight chickens can earn twenty-four dollars.

Forty dollars in '90 is not a small amount, and it is almost enough to catch up with the wages of a worker for ten days.

And Xiao Hong just puts some seasonings in the brine every day, collects chickens, kills chickens, and braised chickens are all made with the help of Zhao Laosi and his wife.
