Chapter 35 The first day of school
“Daughter, don’t think too much and don’t put so much pressure on yourself.
If you are afraid that you will not be able to keep up by then, you will waste your family’s money.
In that case, let's try it first and study for half a semester to see if you can keep up.
If you feel that you can't keep up during this half semester and it's difficult to learn, then you don't have to read this book. "Mrs. Su saw her daughter's hesitation.
She didn't want to force her child, nor did she want her daughter to give up so easily.
There will be a fine for dropping out of school, but Mrs. Su believes in her daughter.
Su Xiaoshi raised her head and said, "Mom, if I go to study, there are so many tasks at home, will you be able to come here?
And Hanlin, who will take care of him? You all have to go to the ground then. "
Hearing what her daughter said, the old lady felt warm in her heart, "You don't have to worry about this, you children will be responsible for going to school.
The work in the fields is all our adults' business. There are so many people in the family, how can we be so busy?
Our Han Lin is also so obedient. When the time comes, grandma will take her with her and she won’t cry, right? "
Mrs. Su held her granddaughter in her arms and asked her, not expecting her to really understand, but Su Hanlin was very helpful and nodded.
"Hey, old man, look, our granddaughter seems to understand.
Hanlin, why don't you nod your head again and show me? "
Su Hanlin squinted her eyes and yawned.
I changed my position in the old lady's arms and started to take a nap.
"This child, you think she can understand like an adult sometimes.
But the next second, he ignored you again. "
"By accident, the child wants to sleep, let Xia Ying take him to sleep.
While we were talking, Hanlin couldn't sleep well either. "
"Since you are willing to study, let your eldest brother take you to report to school tomorrow.
I will arrange accommodation for you and you will come back at the weekend. I asked your father to pick you up. "
The junior high school is not in the village near them, but in the town. There is only one junior high school in the town.
All the children nearby have to go to town when they are in elementary school.
It would take two or three hours to walk, and the mountain road was so long that it was difficult to walk.
In two days, the carrot heads at home will have to go to school, and we have already reported.
The food tuition was paid.
“If you are missing something, tell your elder brother and he will come back and tell me.
I'll ask him to send you to town, you know?
Don't skimp on school, our family has food and money, so we don't lack you.
If you are bullied, don’t bear it, tell the teacher, and the teacher will help you..."
Mrs. Su was packing her daughter's things and couldn't help but mutter some words.
The children at home have all gone to school, and the house has become a little deserted.
Mrs. Su got busy at three o'clock in the afternoon. The children left school at four o'clock, and it took about an hour to walk back.
By the time I got home, it was getting dark.
After dinner, I did my homework in the main room.
The pheasants and rabbits at home had been eaten, leaving only the pickled bacon. Mrs. Su stewed a pot of potatoes with the bacon and steamed a large bowl of egg custard.
There are four more chickens in the house, and more than 20 eggs are prepared in a day. I can't finish them all, but I can also save a lot.
After a month, I still haven’t been able to take it to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange for some firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea and the like.
The ewe no longer gave birth to milk, so Mr. Su took it out to breed, so that the milk would always be available, and Han Lin would also have regular milk every day.
After drinking goat's milk, the little granddaughter looks like a porcelain doll, not to mention how cute she is.
In the spring, the family caught a few ducklings and raised them in the backyard.
The backyard is very lively now, with piglets, lambs and ducklings.
The aroma of bacon stewed with potatoes wafted out, and the old lady added some chili peppers to it. The weather was still a little cold, so she wanted to eat something spicy to warm her body.
"Grandma, I broke off the corn, can you put the corn down too?"
"And carrots, grandma."
Qiuyue and Sishi held corn cobs and carrots that were bigger than them.
"Want to eat corn and carrots? Then let's put some in.
It will stew out later and it will be sweet and glutinous. Mrs. Su quickly washed the corn and carrots and cut them into the pot.
All the ingredients were put in ceramic pots, placed on the stove, and simmered over a slow fire for two hours. The room was filled with the aroma of bacon.
The smell emerges from the pores of the ceramic pot and wafts up the chimney.
"What kind of delicious food does the Su family cook? It smells like meat."
"Is the Su family getting rich? All the children in the family, big and small, are sent to school.
The tuition alone costs over a hundred yuan, and the food costs more than 200 kilograms. "The mother-in-law in the village narrowed her eyes when she smelled the fragrance.
"We still eat meat from time to time. The Su family's life is better than the rest of us."
"Are you jealous? Everything that comes out of your mouth is sour.
To blame, I can only blame you for not being able to have two capable children.
If you have two children with an iron rice bowl, you can live like this every day. "
Su Hanlin drooled with greed, and the old lady made her some mashed potatoes, which were rich and fragrant.
Teeth are growing very fast recently, and four of the top teeth have grown out.
There are three teeth at the bottom, and some are emerging.
Every now and then I want to chew something, but my gums are so itchy.
Mrs. Su also killed a fish and cooked a pot of white tofu and fish soup. The fish soup was milky and white, and Su Hanlin also tasted some.
I ate one or two pieces of tofu and burped.
The ancestor expressed that she was very satisfied. She could finally drink soup and eat tofu.
I fried a plate of lettuce and a plate of hot and sour Chinese cabbage.
After the old lady tidied up the kitchen, Xiaomei and Xiaoliu came back with their younger brothers and sisters.
As soon as I entered the yard, I smelled the aroma of meat and said, "Wow, it smells so good."
"Did grandma make bacon? I smell the aroma of bacon."
Each one of them ran to the kitchen without putting down their book bags.
When Mrs. Su turned her head, she saw a group of little carrot heads.
"Milk, what's delicious?" Su Daye was the most active, standing next to the stove, staring at the food placed next to him.
"You little greedy cats, hurry up and wash your hands and put away your book bags.
Come in again and help serve the dishes, put the dishes and chopsticks away, and when your parents come back, we can eat. "
The stove was surrounded by children, and it was difficult for Mrs. Su to turn around.
"Look at you, a clay monkey with a little face like a tabby cat.
Are you going to school or farming?
The new clothes I just made for you have not arrived for a day and they are all dirty.
When your mother sees this, she will scold you again. "
"Grandma, our last period is the school's labor class, and we are helping the school clean up the weeds." Su Xiaoliu washed his hands and wiped his face.
“Yes, Nai, you don’t even know that the people in our school are much older.
They were all pulling weeds together and said they would plant vegetables on the flat land from now on.
We can all have school-cooked meals for lunch. "Chunhua was extremely happy and found the labor class very interesting.
Tong Xiaying was helpless, "You all work so hard.
What did you learn in school today? After dinner, recall everything to me. "
