Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

"Mom, shouldn't we study at night?"

"Why do you say that?"

"When you run out of candles, you need a ticket to buy more. I've heard that in the countryside, you need a ticket even to use kerosene lamps."

"If you are worried about this problem, then wait until school starts and use the time when you don't have classes to finish your homework in advance.

As for your time at home, you can review and preview in the evening.

But even if you don't finish your homework in advance at school, your father will still have to use candles or kerosene lamps, after all, he needs to correct your homework.

You can take this opportunity and still learn.”

"Oh!"

"As for what to do, you decide for yourselves. Even though you are young, mom will never make decisions for you just because you are young and think that you don't need to think about the problem.

On the contrary, from now on, you will have the right to know, the right to speak, and the right to decide on many things, and your parents will treat you as adults."

"really?"

“Isn’t it true?

Don’t you have any involvement in our family affairs?”

“No, we’ve always been involved.”

"Since you are involved, when you encounter problems, you should first learn to think and then express your ideas."

"Yes."

No one expected that after changing the environment, the first ones to learn to grow up would be the three children.

Before school started, I followed the kids in the team all day, either digging wild vegetables, cutting grass for pigs, or picking firewood at the foot of the mountain. I was almost busier than the adults.

On the other hand, Guo Huaian and I, at first, had to pick blisters with needles in the house every day because of work.

I am really tired, but I am embarrassed to complain in front of others, for fear of leaving a bad impression on others.

As a cadre going to the countryside, there are some restrictions, so I can only grit my teeth and persevere.

It's not over until your body has adapted to this intensity and calluses have formed on your hands and feet.

After Guo Huaian had worked for several months in a row and the team's school was about to start, no one expected him to say it at home.

"Our Huangzhuang Brigade is recruiting students for the first year, and the school in the brigade does not have a third grade. I'm afraid the eldest brother will have to go to the commune to study."

"What about Xiaoying and Xiaofeng?"

“Based on their progress and age, it doesn’t matter whether they continue in the first grade or go directly to the second grade.

But I don't agree. Should we let the eldest child continue to study in the third grade?"

“I don’t agree either. In fact, Dongdong can go directly to the fourth grade.

Even though these three children haven’t been to school for such a long time, they have already learned what they should learn. Even if it’s a course for a higher grade, there is no problem.”

"Who says it's not?

It's better to ask their opinions on this matter. What do you think? "

"Sure, but I don't think they want to repeat the grade."

"Let's ask them first!"

"it is good."

So, when the problem was put in front of them, Dongdong was heard speaking first.

"Mom, can I skip the third grade and go directly to the fourth grade?"

"Of course, if it doesn't interfere with your schooling, you will be in the fourth grade when school starts.

Since you want to study in the fourth grade, just study in the fourth grade.

But even if you go to the fourth grade, the teachers at school will give you a separate test. Do you think there will be any problems?"

"No, as long as it's in the textbook, I won't make any mistakes."

"That's good. What do you two think, Xiaoying and Xiaofeng?"

"Mom and Dad, we know that you would be worried if I followed my brother to the commune to study in the third grade.

Then we will go to school in the team, but we will not be in the first grade, but in the second grade. "

"Yes, second grade."

“If that’s the case, then it’s settled.

However, the school start time for the commune and the team is the same. So, on the registration day, you two little ones will follow your father, and your brother will go to school in the commune and your mother will take a temporary leave to accompany him.

As for Dongdong coming back after school, don't worry, the Huang family's children also go to school in the commune, so he can just go back with their children."

"Okay, no problem, Dad. Anyway, the commune is only ten miles away from our Huangzhuang. It's not too far. I can hold on."

"That's good, but the time after school at noon is too short, so you need to bring lunch. Don't forget this later."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements for the child later."

"Okay, but don't be too high-profile. It's not good for the child."

"Don't worry about this. I know what's going on."

Whenever I asked for leave from the team, many people asked me what I was asking for leave for?

I told them about it right there.

"Isn't this the eldest child in the family? Is he going to the commune to register for school tomorrow?

I just thought that since this is my child's first time going there, I have to go with him, otherwise I will be worried."

"No, Mrs. Guo, isn't your eldest son studying in our team's school?"

"Yes?

In our team, the first year is free, but going to the commune requires two yuan per semester. Do you two have money but nowhere to spend it?"

"Auntie, how can you have money and nowhere to spend it?

To be honest, I also want to, but my eldest child was in the third grade in the city before he came here.

Although I didn't go to school for a while, I never fell behind in my studies. This was better than going to the commune and going straight to the fourth grade. There was no problem at all.

If there were no fourth graders in our team, I wouldn't have to ask for leave to send him to the commune to study, right?"

"No, wait, Xiao Guo's wife, are you asking, what grade is your eldest son in?"

"Fourth grade, what's wrong?"

"That's not right, Xiao Guo's wife, if I remember correctly, your eldest son and our kid are in the same grade, so how come he's already in the fourth grade?"

"What's this?

Children in this city start school early, so it’s not strange that he’s in the fourth grade now, right?”

"this?"

"And you all know that there are no other elders in our family except me and the child's father.

Didn't we send them to nursery when they were less than three months old? Otherwise, how would we go to work?

It’s not like the kids in our team who have someone to take care of them from birth. If that’s the case, then I hope my own kids don’t have to integrate into school so early.”

"That's right. Anyway, it will be hard for you and the child."

"Fortunately, the most difficult time has passed."

"What about the two little ones in your family?

You're not going to the first grade either, are you?"
