A good time for farming through the ages

Chapter 162 [162] Borrowing cattle to borrow money (3000)

In her life, she had a lot of homework in elementary school, but here, there are only Chinese, arithmetic and physical education classes, not even music classes in the 80s and [-]s, and sometimes she has to work voluntarily, because the school also farms land, and when there is a lot of work , teachers and students go together.

Of course, you won’t be allowed to work for nothing. You will have lunch at noon on the day of work. This is already an excellent treatment for rural children who can save as much as possible. Everyone enjoys it, not to mention steamed eggplant and fried shredded potatoes that can be eaten from time to time, so everyone is willing to work.

Zhuo Lin also went, but the brothers always finished their work ahead of time, and then came to help her and let her find a place to rest.

The way they pamper her is not a day or two. The school teachers and classmates all know it, so after knowing that she has eight older brothers pampering her, no boy in the school dares to bully her, and the female classmates are also very polite to her. Who made her brothers all look so good-looking?For beautiful and good-looking people, regardless of boys or girls, they actually have no offensive power.

Of course, it is inevitable that there are girls who are jealous of her, but whether it is to please her or hate her, she does not have a deep friendship, because in her opinion, these are little brats who can't play together, and she will sooner or later If you want to upgrade, you won't be long-term classmates with them, so why stick to the present?
She feels that taking classes here is a torment. First of all, there are many differences between what she teaches now and what she learned in her previous life, especially pinyin, the order of strokes, some simple operations of addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, and the level of the teacher is also level. Not all, as if you can come to class as long as you know a little bit, for a college student like her, it's really uncomfortable.

It would be fine if she didn't know anything like them, but no, the more she knew, the more she couldn't sit still. No, after only one month of class, she asked to get her into the graduation class, Even though he knew that the result would be the same and more contradictions could not be avoided, Lai Hao only needed to stay in the graduating class for one year before he could go to junior high school.

At her strong request, the school teacher gave her two test papers, but she finished writing them in half an hour, quickly and accurately.

The teachers were shocked, because this was a question for the final exam of the graduating class. Not only did she do it right, she was also fast and accurate, and the handwriting was neat. This child has only been in school for more than a month. My brother learned it, and they all called him a genius.

Although these teachers knew that their brothers had good grades, this little girl's intelligence was obviously better.

At the end of the fifth grade, she managed to get in. Although she wanted to jump to junior high school, she still had to keep a low profile, otherwise her brothers would be dissatisfied.

After all, she is now one level higher than Zhuoer, and at the same level as Zhuo Ran. The two brothers feel insulted and are trying to chase her.

The paper they bought was very thin, and they were all written with pencils. After writing, it was difficult to erase and reuse it, because it was often rubbed off, and the reverse side had to be used again. Gesture, whoever's child's notebooks are written on the front side, and the back side is written. If the back side is also finished, take it home and wipe the fart. Butt paper.

Homework books cost five cents a copy, pencils cost five cents a piece, erasers are cheaper, cost two nickels, pencil case or something, I didn’t buy them, Dad made them a small bamboo tube with a wooden cork The one you live in is very useful, so there is no need to spend money to buy it, and the reason why you have to use a pencil case is to protect your pencils.

Calculated in this way, their family's annual expenditure on study expenses may reach a hundred and ten yuan. The books they have used can be used by the children below them. Unlike later generations, who have a small revision every three years and a big revision every five years, the editions of this era are hardly changed, so they use one book from top to bottom. Books are enough for the end.

Although the teachers in this era are limited in strength, they are very serious and responsible, and have enough patience. If they make a mistake, she will not bring it up at the time, but go to them in a puzzled way after class, talking and talking. Maybe the teacher will go around and let the teacher find out his own mistakes.

It does not hurt the teacher's self-esteem, but also conveys his own meaning, so why not do it?

Now they are leaving home at about five o'clock in the morning, and it happens that A Niang and the others get up to grind tofu at four o'clock. When they get up, they can just drink a bowl of hot tofu nao. Eggs, served with shredded pickles made at home, oh, that's delicious.

After a full meal, everyone puts more or less food in their lunch boxes, such as pickles, chili sauce, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc., and then carries these foods on their backs before going to school. I steamed some dry food in my lunch box, and took my own food bag by myself.

Eat how much you eat, and then put it in a big steamer to steam. If you bring steamed buns and steamed buns from home, then if you want to eat at school at noon, it will record it for you. If you don’t eat it, you can eat it from home. The pickles are not bothersome at school, and I will remember them clearly every day.

The children in their family will eat rice, and they will get a portion of school food, and the rest will be eaten with miso and pickles brought from home.

Sometimes A-niang would cut some dried bacon for each of them and steam them together when steaming the rice. It is easy to cause public outrage, so it should be low-key or low-key.

The school will settle the accounts every month, refunding more and making up less, and the extra will be directly postponed to the next month. The school's profit is probably the hard work and meal expenses of the teachers. It is not as black-hearted as the schools in later generations. Be unpretentious and selfless.

Zhuo Lin eats with her brothers every day, and they are always full. Sometimes, Auntie will add an extra boiled egg to each of them, so that they can eat secretly. It can be said that compared with other children who eat vegetables and dipping sauce It is not only happiness, but also invincible for them to have one or even two eggs a day.

The children were not stupid enough to show off to others, it was often an act of death, they were not stupid enough to seek hatred.

Even so, the children go to the kitchen to put lunch boxes together every day, and they can more or less tell which family has good food, which family is rich, and how many brothers and sisters of the Zhuo family have become different among them invisibly. It is also one of the few families with good complexion, tall and good-looking, and although the clothes are patched, they are clean.

Compared with being poor, there are not many people who pay attention to hygiene like the Zhuo family. No matter boys or girls, there is never black mud and dirt on their bodies that cannot be washed off. Who doesn't like clean people?But there are also those who feel inferior because of this.

They got out of school at around three o'clock in the afternoon, because they had to walk for an hour or two just to get home, and then they had to go to the river beach to cut pigweed, feed chickens and ducks, and all their homework was done at school, so the children didn't do anything after school. Study, work and play to your heart's content. Every time the adults in the family have to go out and shout at the top of their voices, they can call the children home. You, including Zhuo Lin, are closed for a day at school. After school, she also likes to follow her brother They went to the river beach to play wildly. This is the childhood that children of this age should have.

Now Zhuo Lin is not only followed by her younger brother, but also two big geese who have just brought home to watch the house. Although they are only two months old, because Zhuo Lin has fresh grass in her hands, the livestock and poultry in the house are all She likes to get close to her, as soon as she goes out, there are crowds behind her, which is very spectacular.

It was not for nothing that these boys teased cats and dogs all day long. Last year they caught a brood of pheasants, and this year they even brought home a brood of quails, which made Zhuo Lin so happy that she hugged her brother and kissed her several times.

"Ahhh, that's great, you can eat quail eggs, my brothers are so amazing, you can count on looking forward to the quail back!"

This litter of quails has just hatched, there are eight of them, one female and seven young ones. They are worried that they will not be able to feed them, so they put them in the house to serve them kindly. The level of care makes Auntie feel jealous. My daughter also worked hard for stuttering.

In the middle of the night, the door of their house rang loudly. A Niang hurriedly put on her clothes and went to open the door. Seeing that it was an aunt from the same village, she knelt down when she saw her.

"Sister-in-law Dajun, can I borrow your ox cart? My Xiaowan had a high fever in the middle of the night, and now I'm trembling all over. It's too scary. We're going to the hospital. Can you, can you lend us some money? Sent to the hospital, how could I have survived until now? She also said that she would not give me money, a girl who refused to let me be sent to the hospital, this grandma is too cruel, woo woo, sister-in-law, I beg you, don’t worry, this I will pay you back the money, and I will definitely pay you back."

Without further ado, A Niang put on her shoes, and walked into the house, asking, "Where's your shopkeeper? He's not at home?"

"He took a job as a mason and went out to work, leaving us and my wife alone at home,"

Thinking of the unfair treatment she received, the aunt was very annoyed. She didn't scold directly because of her face, but she was already trembling with anger.

"Hurry up and go home to pick up the baby. I'll put the ox cart on. I've already got the money. You don't have to worry."

A Niang is a warm-hearted person, the movement here woke up the auntie, and when the auntie heard it, she put on her clothes and came over, regardless of the family.

"I'll go with you two,"

The eldest brother, the second brother, the third brother and the fourth brother Tao Yi were not at home, so the sister-in-law told Zhuo Ran Zhuoer to take care of her and Zhuo Jian.

After a while, the woman hugged the little girl who was wrapped in a quilt, who looked only two or three years old, and the vine quickly poked out, ho!Acute pneumonia.

If they ran into the countryside, the children would be in danger too. Seeing that they were about to get in the car and leave, Zhuo Lin subconsciously released the vines...
