Chapter 30 30 Expectations for the Future
The old doctor was also amused, and grabbed Xiya's little hands and feet, and made several difficult movements.

He pinched his joints again and listened to his heart and lungs.

"Don't worry, the little girl has developed normally, there is no problem."

"Some children are born with better physical fitness than others, and it is not a big deal to be different from children of the same age."

"Take it home and raise it well. Don't be like those shallow-sighted ones who value boys over girls. This girl is very spiritual. If you take care of her, your luck lies in the future."

Wu Bo heard such words twice today, very happy and proud.

"Thank you, I will." Carefully put on the clothes for Xi Ya, then wrapped them in swaddling clothes, and tied them to her chest, carefully protecting her.

He took out two cents from his pocket and handed it to the old doctor.

The old doctor waved his hand and refused: "No need, no medicine or injection, no need, hurry back, it's very cold."

Wu Bo thanked again, and left with Xiya in his arms.

Xiya said goodbye to the old doctor.

However, no one could understand her baby language.

At the intersection of the Commune, Lao Niutou and Wang Shangui were waiting for him.

As soon as he walked over, Wang Shangui asked, "How is it?"

Wu Bo laughed and said, "The doctor said it's all right, the child is fine."

"That's good, hurry back, don't freeze this girl."

The three drove the ox cart to the village and separated.

Wu Bo held Xi Ya in his arms, and walked back with deep kicks and shallow kicks.

When she reached the door, Zhao Lian came out to welcome Xi Ya, took Xi Ya over, lowered her head and put a sticker on Xi Ya's little cheek, Xi Ya also rubbed her mother's face affectionately, and both mother and daughter were consummated in one go.

"What did the doctor say?"

Wu Bo smiled and said, "It's all right."

Zhao Lian was relieved, and carried Xiya into the house, Grandma Wu was also thinking about it.

After Grandma Wu and Xiya's kiss was over, she fed the villain something and urinated, and Xiao Xiya fell asleep.

Only then did Wu Bo talk about today's meeting.

"The leaders of the commune mean that this school must be established."

"I thought this was a good thing. Our family's barley has grown up, and it's time to go to school."

"We can teach her knowledge, but we can't teach her the relationship and friendship between children of the same age. There will always be shortcomings."

"Balley needs more contact with children of the same age. That child is too quiet and thoughtful. If things go on like this, he may suffer from heart disease."

Damai is stable and sensible, beyond the maturity of children of the same age, which makes the three adults of the Wu family feel that it is not a good thing, children, it is better to be like children.

Wu Bo suffered from not having a childhood, and he didn't want his children to follow his old path.

Although Da Mai also has friends in the village, it is different.

Grandma Wu and Zhao Lian also agreed. When the school was built, it was necessary to send a few children to study.

Zhao Lian asked: "To build a school, teachers must be needed. Dad, can you go?"

Grandma Wu is also very excited. Being a teacher is better than being a scorekeeper in the brigade.

Although the scorekeeper's job is easy, he has to run back and forth in the fields every day, and he has to go to the fields to help when the farming is busy.

Wu Bo's legs were swollen very high every time the busy farming season was over. After the busy farming season was over, he shivered with pain and had to lie down for several days before he could get off the ground.

If you become a teacher, your life will be easier, and Wu Bo will be able to read and study in a fair manner.

He likes to read. Affected by various factors, he can only secretly read some old newspapers, which is quite sad to think about.

Kong has a lot of knowledge and ambition, but he can only shrink back. Anyone will be unwilling and angry.

The moment Wu Bo heard about the construction of the school, he thought of it.

"It's not impossible, but whether this will happen or not is half the chance."

"There are not many people in our commune who can read and write. If you count left and right, I am afraid that people in our family can read more."

"From that perspective, my chances are great."

"However, due to the composition issue, it should become a point of attack by competitors, and it is also an area of ​​concern for leaders."

"So it depends on the specific situation. Maybe they will also borrow people from other communes."

The hopes raised by Zhao Lian disappeared immediately, and she couldn't help feeling distressed and sad, feeling unfair for Wu Bo.

Grandma Wu also blamed herself: "If it wasn't for me..."

"Mother," Wu Bo interrupted Grandma Wu: "If it wasn't for you, where would I come from? No one is to blame for this. Don't think about it anymore. No matter what life we ​​live, we are destined to experience it."

"As long as our family is together, we will be safe and sound, and nothing else matters. I am very satisfied with my current life."

Grandma Wu forced a smile and stopped mentioning this.

"By the way, how many pigs can our brigade share? And chickens and ducks? Can our family get a pig?"

Wu Bo said: "Every family can get chickens and ducks, don't worry."

"However, there are only ten piglets. I heard from the captain that there are more than ten households who have mentioned to him that they want to raise piglets. I'm afraid it's not easy to divide them, and they have to be based on the previous year's work points and word of mouth. Our family doesn't need them. Think about it."

Grandma Wu was very disappointed. She still thought that if she could get a pig, she would be able to contribute more to the family.

Forget it.

"Since this is the case, let's not think about it. Before we start work, we will go to the private plot tomorrow to turn over the soil and grow sweet potato seedlings."

"I have to clean up a piece of land and plant small vegetables, so as not to be busy later and have no time."

"We have to grow more corn this year. The children in the family are getting older and there is not enough to eat."

"Other melons, fruits and vegetables should be varied and saved for winter, so as not to be like last winter." The days of sweet potatoes every day are really unbearable.

"I'm still thinking about opening up the wasteland behind our house, and using that sand to grow peanuts."

"Peanuts are expensive. Once they are planted, they can be exchanged for a lot of coarse grains."

Grandma Wu arranged the work to be done in a soft voice. This year she is much more motivated than in previous years, with hope and hope in her tone.

Perhaps it is because the children in the family are getting older, and the expenses for food and clothing have increased.

It may also be because I walked through the gate of hell and gained a deeper understanding.

With the arrival of Xiya, some changes and efforts should be made at home.

Zhao Lian frowned and said: "But we can't get peanut seeds, and there is not much manure. Peanuts are greedy for fat, so I'm afraid it's not easy to get them."

Grandma Wu doesn't worry about the manure. There is a lot of rotten soil on the mountain, so get some back to fertilize it, just add some manure.

It's just that peanut seeds are not easy to handle.

Grandma Wu sighed and said, "Then don't think about what to plant for the time being, that piece of land is good, and it won't be a loss if you develop it."

"Anyway, I'm fine at home, and the barleys have grown up and can help with the work, so I will take the barleys and drive slowly."

Zhao Lian disagreed and said: "Mother, don't do it, there are many stones and tree roots in the field, and it is a labor-intensive job to open it."

"I just do it when I can. You just work so hard to help me look after Xi Ya. Don't worry about the rest. There are me and the child's father at home."

Grandma Wu didn't want to fight with Zhao Lian, so she waved her hand indifferently.

"Okay, let's not talk about it beforehand, the spring plowing is about to start. During this time, let's eat two meals a day to support our bodies, especially you and Bo'er, we must take good care of them, let's cook."

"Okay," Zhao Lian packed up and got up to cook.

The next day, Zhao Lian and Wu Bo took Barley and Wheat to work in the private plot, but the young couple did not let Grandma Wu accompany them.

Grandma Wu was at home with Xiao Xiya and rice and millet. The land reclamation had to wait for the land to thaw again, so she was ready to rub hemp rope.
