Chapter 11

Shen Yuxiu was frightened by her second brother like a quail, shrinking her neck and sneaking back to the house.

I just feel as if I have become a lonely person, and I don't even have anyone to share my secrets with.

Time flies, and when spring comes, Fang Youshun's new house is ready, and when the permafrost in the ground melts, the construction of the new house will start.

The homestead of the new house is in the open space to the west not far from Shen’s house. There are not many houses, three in total.

The foundation walls of blue bricks and lime, and the real red tile roofs, in this village where the houses are generally mud foundations and thatched roofs, these three houses are almost the only ones in the village.

At the same time as the construction of the new house started, the village suddenly issued a notice saying that the country wanted to make steel and that every family should donate all the idle iron stuff. Within a few months, there was another news that a commune was to be established , the villagers also have to eat canteens like the workers in the city.

Within a few days after the news came out, some villages took the initiative to set up communes and eat canteens, and the village where Shen Yuxiu was located kept watching until Fang Youshun's house was built and aired, and moved in after the summer. Within a few days, the higher-ups suddenly issued a notice that the village where Shen Yuxiu was located and the four surrounding villages that were about to be connected together were merged into one brigade.

After the four villages were merged into one brigade, the upper management divided them into eleven sub-groups according to the living locations of the members of each household. The old Shen's family at the east end of the village was the seventh sub-group, and Shen Jinggui's family and Fang Youshun's old couple both belonged to the eighth sub-group. , and a good buddy of Shen Jinggui became the team leader of the eighth team.At the same time, all the food from each household was taken away, and the pots, pans, and farm tools were all put under the management of the warehouses of each team. Fire allowed.

In fact, it is very difficult for their villages to wait and see how they joined the commune until now. Some people would be envious when they saw that the villages that joined the commune could eat enough without working. Yes, maybe their village has joined the commune long ago.

And there are reasons for those who are unwilling to join the commune. After all, they plant the land well, not only can they eat and clothe themselves, but they can also have some savings. If they join the commune, they may not be able to be better than they are now, but some lazy people and bums can. It makes them feel unbalanced to get the same treatment as them.

Now this merger in the village, they can't even wait and see.

At this time, Shen Yuxiu's face was almost healed. After a summer, except for some light prints, she could hardly see anything on her face, but there was a light white scar on her lips. But if people don't look closely, they won't be able to see it.

And just as grandpa said, after moving into the new yard, grandma and grandpa lived in two rooms, and she had a separate room. Of course, grandpa also said that she can sleep with grandma if she really wants to. Yes, just as grandpa promised, she can sleep wherever she wants.

On the west side of these three houses, two low barn houses were built with earthen bricks. Originally, my grandfather said that they were used to store grain. The barn was left unoccupied.

As soon as Shen Yuxiu moved into the new house, she also secretly brought her precious bottle.

But she didn't dare to tell anyone about it, so she quietly dug a small hole in the corner of her house and continued to bury the bottle in the ground.

But before Shen Yuxiu was happy in her new house for a few days, something happened that made her almost fall out with Shen Yulin.

That is, Shen Yulin should go to school this year, but he didn't want to go to school, so he pulled the banner of Shen Yuxiu to resist his family.

"Why should I go to school by myself at home? Why doesn't the elder brother go, why doesn't the elder sister go, why don't Xiaoxiu and Xiao Saner go?" Hearing that his father asked him to go to school when school starts again, Shen Yulin was so angry that he jumped at home.

He saw it when the eldest brother went to school, he went to school after eating, and did his homework when he got home. When he was having fun with his elder sister and second younger sister, his elder brother was memorizing the text, unable to finish the homework, and could not memorize the text well. To be whipped with a willow stick by the teacher, and to be kicked and scolded by the mother if you dare to play truant, that is as miserable as you want.After all, my elder brother finally graduated from primary school this year, so why let him suffer this crime again?

Why, why should the children in the family be able to play and make trouble whenever they want when they are full, and why should he go to that bad school?
"Your elder brother has already graduated from elementary school, and your elder sister has also gone to elementary school. She always came down because she couldn't learn well. How old are Xiaoxiu and Xiaosan, and you have the nerve to talk to them?" Shen Jinggui suppressed his anger, and tried his best to talk to Shen Yulin calmly. Be reasonable.

"Okay, even if the eldest brother and sister have already gone to school and don't need to go to school, and the third child is still young and doesn't need to go to school, what about Xiaoxiu? Don't fool me, I have already asked, you can go to school at the age of six, Xiaoxiu is old enough." Shen Yulin retorted with staring eyes.

Ever since he knew that his father was going to let him go to school this year, Shen Yulin had inquired about it. Anyway, he couldn't go to school alone, and he couldn't suffer alone when he was beaten. No matter what, he had to have a companion.

"You child, how old is Xiaoxiu? How can there be such a young one in our village who goes to school?" Fang Yan couldn't help being a little annoyed when she saw him clinging to Shen Yuxiu.

In her opinion, it doesn’t matter for a girl to go to school or not. Anyway, when she grows up and gets married, she belongs to someone else’s family. It is enough to be able to wash clothes, cook and take care of the family’s food and clothing. Going to school is not necessary, unlike boys who cannot read It's easy to suffer, how can you support your family?Do you still have to rely on women to support you?Whose man is raised by a woman?
Besides, most of the children in the village don't go to school until they are eight or nine years old, and some don't even go to school until they are in their teens.
But Shen Yulin didn't care about that, and just said: "Anyway, if Xiaoxiu doesn't go to school, I won't go to school. Even if you say go against the sky, I won't do it. Even if you force me to go, I can still run."

Shen Yulin hung his neck and ran away after speaking, for fear of making his parents anxious and then being beaten.

Shen Jinggui looked at the back of his son who disappeared in a flash, his head was almost bald.

He really wanted a cultural person in his family, no matter if it was a boy or a girl.He suffered a lot because of his ignorance of culture, and he didn't want the children to follow their own old ways, but the old man was not enlightened, and he barely graduated from elementary school and didn't even pass the middle school entrance examination, let alone the eldest daughter, who was in school for half a year because of writing. The bad word was beaten by the teacher to make him die.

Originally, Shen Jinggui felt that the second son's brain was more flexible than the eldest, and he should be a good candidate for school, so he had great expectations in his heart.But looking at it now, this second child's brain is flexible, but when it comes to going to school, it's like killing him, and it's difficult to deal with.

After thinking for a long time, Shen Jinggui turned back to discuss with Fang Yan: "How about letting Xiaoxiu go to school together? If Xiaoxiu is older and goes to school, the second child will be too big, and it will delay a lot of things."

"She is still young, what if she is bullied by older children at school?" Fang Yan was a little worried.

"Isn't there a second child? Is the second child the child of someone who bullies his own sister? Besides, this is the second child who insists on pulling Xiaoxiu. If Xiaoxiu is bullied, I will beat him. He has to be protected, if he can't be protected, he deserves to be beaten." Shen Jinggui gritted his teeth.

After Fang Yan heard this, she gave him an annoyed look, why would her son be beaten when her daughter was bullied?
But there is no better way now, so I can only nod in agreement.

The two thought it was a trivial matter, and they could just inform Shen Yuxiu, but when Fang Yan said this, Shen Yuxiu also exploded, and what she said was almost the same as Shen Yulin.

"Why? No one my age goes to school. Why should I go to school?"

Shen Yuxiu stood in the middle of the yard, with her hands on her hips, her eyes wide open, as if she could spew fire in the next second.
