"What's the problem? You don't really think it's a monster, do you?" Shen Baosheng said, "You've become more and more superstitious recently."

"I'm superstitious? Then tell me where the pumpkins come from this season?"

Shen Baosheng couldn't answer, "There are no pumpkins this season, but that thing is a pumpkin, and it was cut in half by my aunt. Look at the flesh and seeds in the middle, what could it be if it's not a pumpkin?"

"Mom, I'm so hungry!" Dexi held her mother's arm and shook it, crying, "Grandma won't let me eat mushrooms, can I eat those pumpkins? I want to eat pumpkins, mother, I want pumpkins …

Wuwuwu... My stomach is so hungry. I didn't eat anything for breakfast, neither mushrooms nor sweet potatoes. Even the cornbread was eaten by that earthen root. Wuwuwu, I very hungry! "

Shen Baosheng persuaded: "Children, don't be stubborn, let's go to the kitchen to help now, say something nice, maybe we can get a few pieces of pumpkin to eat, if we go late, the eldest aunt won't even share a piece of pumpkin skin with us." .”

"What should I do if something happens to me while eating?"

"What could possibly happen? I know you feel uncomfortable with your eldest aunt. Hey," Shen Baosheng sighed and expressed his inner thoughts, "But let me tell you, that Lingbao is a lucky star in all likelihood. It's the kind of lucky star that brings good luck to people. Look at those mushrooms and such a big pumpkin...

That pumpkin is not a monster at all, but a lucky star brought by it!Do you understand what I mean? "

Wang Chunmiao frowned, "Lingbao doesn't have any birthmarks on her face. If she is a lucky star, then what brings happiness to our family?"

"Our Dexi may be nothing..."

"Fart!" Wang Chunmiao yelled angrily. Now she doesn't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes every day. Now her heart is placed on her eldest daughter, hoping that she can take her out of the countryside in the future. Live a good life in the city.

Unable to accept what her husband said, after scolding her, she rushed into the kitchen and said to her father-in-law and mother-in-law: "Father, mother, I don't care what you think, anyway, you must read the book Dexi. I also believe her." I can get into middle school!”

"Why are you still talking about this? As I said just now, this girl is not material for studying. Studying is a waste of time."

After Zhao Cuilan finished speaking, Liao Guifen echoed from the side: "Brothers and sisters, we don't want to make you happy. Think about it carefully. How can it be so easy to get into middle school? Our rural children are no better than the children of workers in the county.

The factory has its own kindergarten and primary school. I heard that children are sent to school at the age of three or four, and the teachers hired by the factory’s primary school are also good.

It is different in our rural areas. There are few schools and teachers. It is incomparable with the education in the city. Unless the children are top-notch, they will not be able to enter middle school at all. After spending so many years studying, they might as well stay at home. If you work hard, at least you will be able to get married in the future, and your mother-in-law won't dislike you.

You have to think carefully about what you like. If you continue to raise her like this, in the future she will not study well and will not be able to do any work. Who will want her? "

Wang Chunmiao said anxiously: "Sister-in-law, you are wrong to say that. Dexi is different from ordinary girls. She is the kind of top-notch child!"

"What's so great about her? Why didn't I see what's so great about her?"

As if thinking of something, Liao Guifen laughed again, "By the way, my Zhaogui told me something yesterday. Dexi didn't want to do her homework, so she asked her brother to do it for her. She didn't know that she did her homework yesterday. Have you finished writing?"

Wang Chunmiao was stunned, then turned to look at Dexi behind her, "Is what your aunt said true? Are you clamoring for your brother to do the homework assigned to you by the teacher?"

"No, my brother didn't help me with my homework. I wrote it all by myself. I wrote two whole pages of Pinyin..."

Remembering that her daughter was indeed doing her homework at the desk yesterday, Wang Chunmiao said to her sister-in-law: "This matter is definitely nonsense. I saw it with my own eyes. Dexi was writing homework with a pen." "Then give me the homework." have a look."

Dexi took a step back, "Ah? Why?"

Liao Guifen asked: "What's the matter? You can't show your aunt the homework? Didn't you say that you wrote two full pages? Let me see if you have written two full pages of pinyin?"

"You are illiterate and can't read, why did you show it to you?" Dexi said guiltily, "I, I don't want to show it to you..."

"Look at her like this," Liao Guifen laughed mockingly, "I don't dare to let anyone read it, and I definitely didn't write it."

Dexi pretended to write a few words "aoe" yesterday, and then stopped writing. Now he can't produce a two-page homework at all.

Zhao Cuilan stared at her eldest granddaughter, "Dexi, tell grandma the truth, did you do your homework well? If you don't tell the truth, you won't be able to eat lunch or dinner today."

After struggling for a while, Dexi said truthfully: "I didn't write. Homework is too boring, and class is boring. I have to sit in a chair all the time in class, not moving or talking, and I have to put my hands behind my back."

I couldn't understand the initials and finals at all. I had to memorize and copy the pinyin. What the teacher said was so boring. Reading was not interesting at all. I thought class was fun and I could listen to stories. It's different from what I thought, I don't like going to school at all..."

Wang Chunmiao said anxiously: "What are you talking about? How can you not love reading?"

Dexi said aggrievedly: "I just don't like studying, mother, can I not go to study in the future? I just want to play in the village like before, playing hide-and-seek with Erhu and the others, and playing lame and catch." …”

Before she could finish her words, her mother slapped her in the face, "You useless piece of trash! You can't study, you can't pass the exam to the city, and you can't be a glorious worker. What's the use of raising you up like this?" ?”

He never expected that his mother would slap him in the face, so he burst into tears with a loud "Wow", "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much..."

"Cry your ass, cry, it's me who should cry! Thanks to such a red birthmark on your head, I thought you were different from other girls and would be successful in the future, but I didn't expect you and your two sisters to be the same In this way, they are all losers who waste food! If you can’t read, get out of here and stay away!”

Seeing that she was crying hysterically with joy, Shen Baosheng quickly pulled her aside and said, "Don't cry, don't cry. Your mother is very angry right now. Ouch..."

Shen Su'e didn't like Wang Chunmiao's eyes, "I want to teach my children to go out to educate, why are they all crowded in the kitchen? Listening to it makes me upset!"

Zhao Cuilan coughed awkwardly, "Dexi Niang, you are serious, why are you so angry all of a sudden? Girls are dumber than boys. It's normal not to be able to study. It's the same if you stay at home and do farm work. Well."

"Sister-in-law, what you said is wrong. Why are girls stupider than boys? I don't know if you heard what I said just now. I think your family is very diligent and has perseverance in doing things. How about you Try to get her to study?”

Shen Su'e cut the washed pumpkin into pieces and put them on the bamboo steaming tray while continuing: "I remember that there is no tuition fee for going to primary school in the town? You only need to pay a few cents for books every year."

"Studying doesn't cost much, but..." Zhao Cuilan hesitated, "If Dele doesn't work, the family will have one more freeloader and one less worker."

Dele sorted the wild vegetables and fruits in the basket into categories, and when he took his sister into the kitchen, he heard the conversation between his aunt and grandma, and his heart beat violently.

Thinking that this might be her only chance to study, she pleaded urgently: "Grandma, I don't want to eat for free. Even if I have to go to school in the morning, I can do it at five o'clock. No, I can get up at four o'clock in the morning to help cut pigs." Damn it, I can go into the mountains to pick wild vegetables after school in the afternoon, it really won’t delay my work! Grandma, I want to study, can you let me go to school?"
