90s Little Struggle

Chapter 50 Going to School
Zhao's Dumpling Shop and Braised Meat Shop had good business in the first few days after opening.

On September [-]st, Xiao Hong and her two younger sisters also started going to school.

Yanyan happened to be in the first grade, so she could go to school quickly 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 put high hopes on, so she agreed smoothly, and the two sisters sat together.

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

Interestingly, every class has more boys than girls.

Although everyone says that reading is a good thing to be able to serve the iron rice bowl.

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

And there is an old custom of early marriage here.

As a result, there are only three classes of students in the third year of high school, each class has only about forty students, and 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, married people are also very common.

This means that you can get married after graduating from high school, so you can't help your natal family to earn money, and feel that you have given birth to a loser.

Girls can read a few words, and it is not bad if they have read books for a few years.

The girls who can sit here are either rich or favored at home.

What's more interesting is that the teachers were also worried that their students would not study hard, so girls sat with girls.

It's a pity that there are only nine girls in the class including Xiao Hong, and only one girl and 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 an idiot beauty.

The main reason is that the last place in the class is not good, and Xiao Fang supervised her study, so she supplemented her high school knowledge.

Listening to the teacher's lecture now, it is not like chicken and duck talking.

Of course, as soon as Teacher Hei, a thin and strict class teacher in his forties, came in, he would first introduce himself, then start the roll call, and then impassionedly pour chicken soup on the students below.

"Students, knowledge can change destiny... As long as you work hard, you will gain something!"

After the atmosphere was aroused, Zhou Yang was appointed as the class monitor, and Xu Xinning was appointed as the study committee member...

"Okay, let's start distributing the test papers and start the test."

Following the teacher Xiao Hong found that everyone's faces were as if they had suffered from Huanglian.

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

Even though Xiao Fang had helped with tutoring before, and she had reviewed it herself, when the results came out the next day, she was still ranked [-]th in the class.

And Xiao Fang happened to be stuck at No.10, and Xu Xinning was No.4.

Seeing that her complexion was not very good, Xiao Fang was afraid that she would become cautious again, so she said cautiously: "Sister, don't worry, let's take our time, there is still one semester left?"

"I know." This ranking made Xiao Hong's face a little hot, so she could only calm down and study hard.

Now in the school, the head teacher of the second year of high school is promoted after the first year of high school students.

But in the third year of high school, many students dropped out of school, and the class teacher only took care of the third year of high school.

The current teachers are very dedicated and want the students to have good grades. They are very serious in their lectures, and of course they assign a lot of homework.

It was the first time Xiao Hong realized that there was not enough time. Before she opened her eyes in the morning, she was called by Xiao Fang to recite English.

After rushing to school for morning reading, I came back to have breakfast, and then hurried to school to start class.

When I come back for lunch at noon, I have to go back to school to do the homework assigned by the teacher.

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

A week passed like this, and finally it was Saturday afternoon.

The English teacher attended the last class, and he didn't forget to ask the class representative to hand out some English test papers, so he was willing to leave the get out of class.

There are no copiers, printers, etc., and the test papers are all ink test papers. The handwriting is not very clear, and the ink is easy to fall off, especially the hands and cuffs, which are more likely to be stained with ink.

Xiao Hong put away the test paper and sighed: "Let's go buy some sets of sleeves later? Why don't we waste clothes when it's cold?"

"Okay, let's go home first." Xiao Fang just finished speaking, and Xu Xinning, who was sitting behind them, tapped her shoulder with a book, and said in a low voice, "Let's go to the skating rink for a few laps to relax later?"

Xiao Fang shook her head like a rattle: "I don't want it! I won't go! I won't!"

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

At this time, many students had already left the class talking and laughing, and there were only seven or eight students in the class.

Class monitor Zhou Yang came over: "It's over there at the elementary school, do you want to go?"

There are few girls in the class, so male students are more tolerant towards female students.

Or some people feel that after graduation, they will be looking for their classmates.

And Xiao Hong is fair and pretty, bright and pleasant, which naturally makes the male students who already have a green mind want to move.

It's a pity that the teachers are more strict about this.

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

Xiao Hong didn't expect this now.

No matter whether her whole life has passed in her dream or not, she always feels that she is old now, and the male classmates feel that she is too young, like a junior.

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

It was after two o'clock in the afternoon. When the sisters returned home, there were no customers in the store, and Mr. Zhao was weaving bamboo baskets. When he saw them coming back, he smiled and said, "You guys are back? Sit down and have a rest. "

Xiao Hong asked casually: "Where is my mother? Is Yanyan after school?"

There are no weekends now, whether it is elementary school or high school, school ends at two o'clock in the afternoon 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 students and high school students have to go to school for evening self-study tomorrow afternoon.

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

Xiao Hong also finally cared about the income in the store: "How is our business these days?"

Anyway, now she handed over the marinating of the chicken to them, and they only marinated eight chickens a day.

There is a lot of meat in the marinated chicken. A chicken with a gross weight of six catties can be repaired, and the net weight can be five catties, and it can be about four catties after being marinated.

That is to say, if a chicken is collected for five yuan and four, it can be sold for about eight yuan, which can earn about three yuan.

Probably because they are the first braised chicken restaurant in the town, everyone is more supportive of fresh food, and they can sell out almost every day.

In other words, eight chickens can earn 24 yuan.

The 1990 yuan in 40 was not a small sum, almost catching up with the workers' wages for ten days.

And Xiao Hong just puts some seasonings in the brine every day. The chickens are collected, killed, and marinated with the help of Zhao Laosi and his wife.
