At this point, it's past the time for a nap.

Wang Qiuju has already gone to work in the fields.

Yang Xiaole walked in the Zhuangzi and watched the few remaining laborers of the Zhuangzi put trees there.

This is intended to be used for firewood, in the same way as the coal that is pulled.

When he came to the field, Yang Qingwen was carefully searching for the rice field, pointing to the rice field from time to time to command.

"This one is okay, the seedlings are quite strong, and there are many knots. Come on, dig this piece out. ”

Following his command, the women behind him stepped forward and went to dig the seedlings, moving cautiously, for fear of hurting the seedlings.

(As I would like to explain, many people think that rice is not grown in Kyoto, and at that time, there were only a few types of grain collected by the grain stations, and in order to ensure the food in the city, the nearby paddy fields were required to grow rice.) Many people see that they don't grow rice, and it should be after the change. ）

Yang Xiaole just watched it for a while and didn't care anymore.

Walking straight ahead, I came to the vicinity of the sweet potato field after a while.

The production team's fertile paddy fields are used to grow wheat, rice, and corn, and sweet potatoes are grown on barren land as food rations for rural people.

At this time, the sweet potato vine has obvious traces of being turned over.

This is turning the seedlings for sweet potatoes.

When I came to the place, without affecting the future growth of sweet potatoes, I began to pinch some of the more vigorous sweet potato vines sporadically and put them directly into the space.

Along the way, it felt almost over, and then I stopped.

When I returned to the vicinity of my home, I quietly entered the space, cut the sweet potato vine into small pieces with a knife, and put it there for later use.

Then the land was made one by one.

The cut sweet potato vine was laid on the ridge of the ground and buried, and some water was poured before the work was finished.

After making it, I looked at the pork rib soup in the pot and ate it in a bowl.

He can't always bring things out, he has to eat them himself.

As for the family, I can only get some when I have the opportunity in the future.

After eating a bowl of pork rib soup, he threw the excess sweet potato vine into the pigsty, and saw that there was nothing else to do and went out of the space directly.

After coming out, I walked towards home, and happened to meet Zhang Liuer coming from the team.

When he got closer, Zhang Liuer smiled at him and said, "I'm afraid that you will sleep at noon, I came a little late." ”

"It's okay! Come on in! ”

In the afternoon, I need to hunt pigweed, and the eldest sister has already taken the two little ones to hunt pigweed.

When I got home, I started tutoring her homework.

……

In the next few days, the Zhuangzi was carried out in an orderly manner, and the stationery that Yang Qingwen said had not been done yet.

Classes had to be put on hold for the time being.

It's time to start school.

This morning, before dawn, Wang Qiuju hurriedly urged Yang Xiaole to get up.

Because today I have to send my eldest sister to the middle school in the district to go through the formalities, I have to hurry up.

At this time, the eldest sister had already put on the old clothes that were given by Hua Yourong, and was happily waiting to report to the new school today.

It is 17 kilometers to go to the district, and it takes three or four hours to walk, so in order not to delay the registration, Wang Qiuju got up early in the morning.

Yang Xiaole was also speechless for a while.

Because the old lady didn't know the time, she went to bed early last night, and now she gets up before three o'clock.

I could only get up from the bed.

As for him signing up with Xizi and Xiaoli, I will hand it over to Zhang Liuer to help get it tomorrow.

got up and went outside to get some teeth powder and brush his teeth, and rushed outside as soon as he washed his face under Wang Qiuju's urging.

Wang Qiuju carried the packed quilt on her back and took the two children to the district in the stars and the moon.

The eldest sister still has a lot of things hanging on her body.

The wooden face plate, the only insulated thermos bottle in the house, with pickles in the cloth bag.

Walking on the road, Yang Xiaole thought of some rumors during the disaster.

still explained to Yang Xiaomei: "Sister, explain an important matter to you, when you come back on weekends in the future, remember to take the car from the district to the commune, don't walk back and hear it?" ”

Wang Qiuju didn't object this time, after all, she was a big girl.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Then don't come back, I'll come back when the holiday is over." I'm not worried about running back and forth, and I'll ask your eldest brother to bring you some pickles and sauce. It's cold, I'll send you clothes. ”

The eldest sister thought for a while when she heard this, but nodded.

She listened to what the old lady said.

When I came to the commune, even the breakfast shop had just opened, so you can imagine how early it was.

All the way to the road to the imperial capital, not to the city, but to the opposite direction to the mine.

This is still the route he inquired about.

Three people, still carrying luggage, can't sit on a coal truck.

From dark to dawn, it was more than seven o'clock in the morning to arrive at the city where the district is located (equivalent to the county seat).

Along the way, Wang Qiuju was also apprehensive.

Since the refugees came here, the farthest they have traveled is the commune, which is the former township.

I didn't feel at ease on the road, so I stopped the car pulling coal and asked for the way.

When I came to the place, it was actually similar to the houses of the commune, basically brick houses and mud houses were intertwined.

Occasionally, there are individual cement houses, which are all large units in the district.

Yang Xiaole's feet hurt, and he was tired, looking at the early ones sold on the roadside, he wanted to buy something to eat.

But seeing that Wang Qiuju didn't even look at it, he still gave up.

Buy breakfast to eat, think too much.

After some inquiry, I finally arrived at the district middle school at about eight o'clock.

The gate is quite new, but when you come in, you will find some dilapidated big tiled houses inside, and a big playground in the middle.

At this time, many people came in at the school gate, all of whom came to report.

It is still easy to find a new student enrollment point.

The school building, or the room, is suitable.

A long banner at the door with a sign welcoming new students.

Two men in gray tunics sat at a desk, registering there.

There were two people in front of me, who didn't bring anything, and at first glance they were people from the district.

After waiting for a while, when it was the turn of the two, Wang Qiuju hurriedly pulled her eldest daughter over: "Hello teacher, I brought my daughter to sign up." ”

"Comrade Linghao, what is the name of the student, and where is he from?"

"Oh, Hongqi Township Primary School, oh, it's Hongqi Commune now, Yang Xiaomei."

Yang Xiaomei hurriedly took over and said.

Hearing this, the man flipped to the last few pages of the list and found her name in it.

"Well, there's this person, what about the proof? Give it to me, I'll register you. ”

Wang Qiuju hurriedly took out the certificate and handed it to the other party.

One was jointly opened by the school and the commune, and the other was opened by the production team.

There is no promotion notice, the school has registered and reported, as for whether you go to school or not, it is your own business.

The man took the certificate and glanced at it, confirmed that there was no problem, and nodded: "Well, no problem, Yang Xiaomei, you have been assigned to Class C of the first year of junior high school, you take this note and go to Teacher Chen Jingchen." ”

After speaking, he filled in the information on a slip and handed it to Wang Qiuju.

"Alright, let's go! Go forward, and the third room is. ”

"Hey, thank you, teacher! Thank you, teacher! ”

Wang Qiuju thanked her, pulled her eldest daughter and walked forward.

When she came to Class C of the first year of junior high school, Wang Qiuju stood at the door and looked inside carefully.

In the dimly lit tiled room, a middle-aged female teacher was talking to a parent.

The other party has short hair and is wearing a plaid shirt.

Seeing the three of them standing at the door, the teacher greeted with a smile: "Are you a new student, come in!" ”

"Hey, hey, Xiaomei go in."

At the urging of Wang Qiuju, the three of them went in.

"Hey, that, teacher, I brought my daughter to sign up, you see what to do next, I don't understand."

looked at Wang Qiuju's polite face and the backpack on his back.

Chen Jing knew that he was from the countryside.

"Give me the sliver, let the child find a place to sit down."

She was still quite surprised, there were not no children from the countryside, there were seven or eight in her class, but the girls knew that there were four.

When she received the notification, she thought she wouldn't come.

I didn't expect one to come.

"Hey, Xiaomei, listen to the teacher, go and sit down."

Wang Qiuju urged her daughter, and then asked the teacher: "That teacher, we live in the school, how to arrange this!" ”

Yang Xiaomei obediently found the last position and sat down.

Chen Jing looked at the class and shouted below: "Students, the teacher will take this student to the dormitory first, you wait for a while, if a new classmate comes, just say that the teacher will come in a while." ”

Naturally, the students agreed.

Before Yang Xiaomei's bench was hot, she was called up again and walked outside.

Bypassing the school building, we came to the newly built brick houses in the back.

Came to the door and led the people in.

There was no one in the room, only 8 wooden bunk beds, which could sleep 16 people, and only a few shabby desks in a small place in the middle.

There are several bunks that have been made with quilts.

Chen Jing looked at a few people and said with a smile: "The school's girls' dormitory is limited, this is a dormitory for three ages together, live here first, if there is a change in the future, we will talk about it then." ”

"Hey, good teacher, how do you pay the tuition and money, no one takes our money!"

Wang Qiuju hurriedly said to her.

Chen Jing took a look at the things she was carrying and asked her: "Oh, you give the money to the child first, wait for a while the class will be all together, collect it uniformly, renew the fee of 1 yuan 5, the accommodation fee of 2 yuan a semester, a total of 3 yuan 5, don't you bring food?" Are you going to eat at school? ”

"Well, I heard that we can buy food to eat, so we will give the money. By the way, teacher, are the meals in the cafeteria expensive? ”

When Chen Jing heard this, she was surprised for a while.

It is rare to hear of people in the countryside who do not carry grain to buy food.

However, she still explained: "Yes, the girl has a quota of 29 catties of grain, 9 catties of fine grains and 20 catties of coarse grains, how much you need to buy a meal ticket when the time comes, and the canteen has 2 cents for the dishes, and there are others, according to your needs." Occasionally, I also eat meat, but I have to register in advance and then the canteen will eat meat on which day, and there are chickens, ducks and fish for meat, which is more expensive. It depends on your receptivity. ”

"Oh, then I'll give you the money!"

After Wang Qiuju finished speaking, she was going to pay for it.

Chen Jing hurriedly stopped: "Don't worry, you just give the money to the child, when the time comes, it will be collected uniformly, and the child will be handed over to us, you can rest assured, see what the child still lacks, buy it for her, you can go home, I still have something to do over there, go back first." It would be nice to have my child come directly to the classroom to find me. ”

"Hey, okay, thank you, teacher, sorry for the trouble."

"You're welcome."

The other party said hello and left the dormitory.

After the others left, Wang Qiuju sat on an empty bed.

took out the money from his pocket, and while taking out the money, he muttered: "My mother will not deduct you, the food for a meal counts you as 2 cents plus 2 cents for vegetables, and you can't really eat sauce every day, 2 meals a day is 8 cents, 6 days a week, that is 4 cents 8, give you 5 cents." You save some money. ”

plus 2 yuan for accommodation and 1 yuan for tuition 5, a total of 4 yuan and 5 cents were given to him.

"Five cents more, you buy things for study."

Yang Xiaomei took the money quietly, and it was good to be able to eat food in one meal.

After all, it's not like keeping your own land at home and not asking for money.

gave the money, Wang Qiuju felt distressed there again: "5 cents a week, 2 yuan a month, and 18 yuan a year after removing holidays." ”

This calculation feels like cutting her flesh.

stared at the money in her daughter's hand, wondering if she was giving too much.

sighed, still not coming back.

I have already decided in my heart, just give 3 cents next week.

"Okay, hurry up and pack up your things, you still have to go to the teacher's place, see if there is anything else to buy, I'll buy it for you." Where do you sleep? Let's sleep in the lower bunk,"

While talking, he packed up his daughter's baggage.

Get out of the baggage and get something out.

Quilts, clothes, wooden basins, bamboo shell thermoses, a jar of miso sauce, a jar of pickle gnocchi, towels......

Wang Qiuju was still muttering there: "You said that you, the production team is full of food and drink now, so you have to come here to suffer this crime." If you go to work in the city in the future, don't let me earn enough money, don't think about finding my in-laws. ”

Yang Xiaole and Yang Xiaomei glanced at each other and smiled secretly.

"Eldest sister, you sleep on the top bunk, you are not used to it at first, just get used to it, otherwise others will have to step on your quilt after washing their feet."

He's experienced in this.

Wang Qiuju glanced at it: "Will it fall off?"

"No, there are railings! It's good to get used to it, don't sleep on the window, it's very cold in winter. Put it here! ”

Yang Xiaole found a corner location for her.

Yang Xiaomei thought about it for a while, but still agreed.

Wang Qiuju began to make her bed, and threw everything on the bed except for the wooden basin.

After finishing it, she clapped her hands: "Okay, this is about to enter autumn, so I won't buy mosquito nets, just endure it for a few days." It's just a lunch box. Gotta go buy a lunch box. ”

I went to elementary school in the commune, and when I came back from eating, I never bought a lunch box.

Yang Xiaole glanced at the old lady and said to her: "Mother, go buy it, I'm here to accompany my sister!" ”

Wang Qiuju thought about it for a while, but decided to take a look for herself.

"Okay, don't run around, do you hear?"

After an explanation, he left the dormitory and walked outside.

Yang Xiaole stood at the door and took a look, and after seeing that the people were far away, he hurriedly ran back.

Take something out of your pocket and come out.

"Sister, you must put away the 5 yuan, don't listen to your mother, you must eat enough food, you must eat meat, you buy what you should buy and keep the rest of the money, and this is a 3 catties of food stamps, this is a bag of alabaster. Hurry up and put it away. ”

Didn't give much either.

That's enough money for her to live well here.

And it's a long walk here, but when he has time in the future, he will only be able to ride over for more than an hour.

Yang Xiaomei watched him take out so many things, and hurriedly covered her mouth!

"Third child, how do you have so much money?"

"You don't care about this, but there is one thing, you are not allowed to betray me, otherwise you will wait to eat the sauce every day in the future! I won't care about you anymore. ”

Yang Xiaole stuffed things under her quilt in one go.

He handed her a salt water bottle that he was carrying: "This is brown sugar water, remember to drink it in the morning, there is not a lot of brown sugar at home, you are not allowed to drink it to others, do you hear?" ”

The water from the well is not known to be used for any other purpose.

But just by drinking and being in good spirits and not dozing off in class, you can have an advantage over others.

Later, when I came back on the weekend, I tutored her by myself, and my grades would not be bad.

Yang Xiaomei naturally knew that this was brown sugar water, and thought that he was taking it for medicinal purposes!

Carefully put away the brine bottle.

There's a lot of sugar in there!

After getting it done, Yang Xiaomei asked, "Third child, where did you get so much money?" You give it to your father and mother, and let them keep it for you! ”

Yang Xiaole sighed.

He thought so.

If Daddy and Lady are the kind of people who are willing to spend money, he will give as much as he wants, as long as they don't freak out.

But I'm reluctant to use it at all, so I'll hand in a fart!

Then he explained to Yang Xiaomei again: "Say it again, don't tell the truth, otherwise I won't care about you in the future, don't worry, the family has money, and the old lady has a lot of money in her pocket!" Tell me when you're done with it, and I'll give you some more. Just don't mess around. ”

Yang Xiaomei was also moved for a while, "I know, I will go to work in the future, and save money for you to marry a daughter-in-law." ”

"Come on, just take care of yourself."

Yang Xiaole pouted.

In the middle of his thoughts, a girl came in at the door, with a rugged figure, a head taller than the eldest sister.

The hair was loose, only slightly tied in the middle, and it was not yet dry, as if it had been washed in the morning.

When the girl came in and saw the two of them, she was only stunned for a moment.

With a smile on his face, he bowed his head slightly, and without speaking, he came to the side of the bed and took out the contents of the cloth bag.

Yang Xiaomei and Yang Xiaole just nodded when they saw each other, didn't speak, and just smiled as a hello.

Yang Xiaole looked at each other and subconsciously looked at each other a few more times.

The other party is very thin, and he has already taken on a slight look.

What attracted him was mainly her temperament.

The first reaction was the feeling of Lin Daiyu in the TV series, but there was that kind of tranquility, but there was no kind of sickness.

I looked at it twice for a while
