After the Lantern Festival, a spring breeze blows, the school starts, and Zhang Chengye also organizes the villagers to prepare for spring plowing.
There are a total of three teachers in their village primary school, and an old principal who occasionally appears, adding up to four people.
Among the four, Su Wei was in charge of grades one and two, and the other two teachers were in charge of grades three, four, and five.
They work as teachers, and the village doesn’t give them money or food, but their work points are the same as that of adult strong laborers, with 10 work points a day. Now because of the special period, their village only has half a day of class, and they can get such high work points for half a day. Envious of others.
Knowing that this job is rare, the three of them cherish this job very much, do their best for each student, and teach students as much as possible.
The few of them have worked hard, and the students' grades are the best feedback. They also saw their children's grades. The people in the village did not say anything like cutting off a teacher. After all, the food for the work points was grown by everyone. The total amount is so much, the more people share it, the less it will be distributed to each individual. Anyone will settle the account.
The class lasts for half a day, and in the afternoon, these students are all young girls and boys who can work at home and outside, and will go home to help with the work in the fields. In the past half a day, the original body sometimes went to the fields to earn more work points. Sometimes I take care of various household chores at home.
Now Su Hui didn't go to earn work points in the afternoon, but took care of the private land at home.
This private plot was originally a mountainous land, with miscellaneous shrubs and weeds growing, and many small stones. After leveling, the coffin disappeared, and the weeds reappeared in the spring breeze. Most of the stones were picked aside, leaving only the soil.
But to grow good food, the soil must be fertile, and this soil has nothing to do with fertility.
Under Zhang Gen's guidance, Su Hui went to the mountain to dig pine leaf mud and burn plant ash to compost.
The movement of her going down to the ground was a little rusty at first, but she became proficient after doing it back and forth a few times.
All of this private land must be planted with sweet potatoes and corn, and only some ginger, onion, garlic, green vegetables, and pumpkin seedlings can be planted in the corners, and the vines can grow to the yard.
In addition to tending the private plot, Su Hui also went up the mountain to cut firewood and grass.
Zhang Baoguo is not free either, he goes to class in the morning, and earns work points in the afternoon. He is young and can only do work such as pulling weeds. Because he moves nimbly, he can also get two or three points. When he finishes the work and goes back, He also has to do exercises under his mother's instructions, teach his younger brother simple word recognition and mathematics, and read newspapers aloud, which is not enough.
Zhang Weiguo is also very busy.
After his mother and elder brother went to school, he and his two younger brothers went to the back mountain to collect bamboo shells, and went to the river to catch small snails to feed the chickens. When wild vegetables appeared, they had to dig wild vegetables.
But now there are not so many things at this time. He spends more time playing outside with his two younger brothers. The morning is their brother's play time. When their mother and elder brother come back, they will have work to do.
My mother got some wood chips from somewhere, and wrote numbers and some simple common characters on them. While teaching them to recognize characters, she taught them to play games. This kind of learning method is indeed much better than boring reading and writing. Playing is not bad I am happy, and because my mother and elder brother are both studying, my mother has to take a higher degree, and my elder brother is assigned a lot of tasks by his mother. Someone drives the study, and the learning atmosphere has improved, so it is not so difficult to sit down and study.
After getting used to it, Zhang Weiguo also got used to the life of going to play in the morning and studying while playing in the afternoon. In comparison, Zhang Anguo sat the most stable, and gave him an empty notebook, a pen, and a little book , He could sit there for a long time, and he couldn't even tell him to go out to play.
The one who couldn't sit still the most was Zhang Dingguo. It looked like there were nails under his buttocks, and he twisted and turned around for more than half an hour, wanting to go out to play.
People have different temperaments, as long as he completes the task on time, Su Hui will not force him to go out to play.
No better than Zhang Weiguo, he is about to go to school, and although he is a little irritable, he can still sit still and learn quickly. According to this progress, Su Hui thinks he can try to skip a grade.
What Zhang Gen said is also reasonable. All four children go to school, which seems a bit stressful to outsiders. In this case, if the smart children skip a grade, they can save a year's tuition fees.
Originally, what I learned in the first grade was the basics.
She took care of it, and she could temper his temper.
There was no work suitable for children today, so Zhang Baoguo didn't go to the field to earn work points. He went home and patrolled the private plot very responsibly. He didn't find any work, so he ran out to play.
On the way, he saw Zhang Jinhua, the lobby brother, and beckoned him to go to the river with him.
Zhang Baoguo followed his friends and went to the riverside. There were people working by the riverside. When he saw a bunch of boys, he told them not to go into the water, and left them alone.
Raising children in this era is relatively rough, and they don't care too much. If it weren't for the winter, there would be no one who was told not to go into the water. Few of the children in their village could not swim.
The time with his friends passed so quickly. Zhang Baoguo, who was looking for fish in the rock pile by the river, looked up inadvertently, and saw the sun starting to change color. It was getting late, and it was time to go back.
Zhang Jinhua wondered, watching his cousin put back the rolled up trouser legs, and tidy up the few mussels he found out: "Why are you going back so early?"
"I'm going back to do my homework."
When it comes to homework, Zhang Jinhua doesn't say anything else: "Go, go."
He hasn't done his homework yet, how about getting up early tomorrow and going to school to finish him
There is an aunt who is a teacher, and a cousin who is a classmate. Zhang Jinhua, who dare not skip homework at all, sighed.
Life is hard.
—
When Zhang Baoguo went back, his mother was at home, had already boiled the bath water, and had already started making dinner, and he could smell the broth.
Has mom bought the meat yet? happiness. He raised the mussels in a basin, and when he went out to have a look, the three younger brothers were reading a comic book with their heads turned sideways.
"What are you looking at?"
Zhang Weiguo didn't even raise his head: "The little book that Mom just brought back today is pretty good, brother, tell us what's written on it later." He didn't know many words, so he couldn't guess them at all.
Although the picture is very good-looking, but the story with words will be more exciting.
There are new comic books, and Zhang Baoguo’s mind wandered for a while. He really wanted to read them. He had already read the comic books at home countless times. He struggled: “Okay, I wrote the homework first, and I will tell you later."
He had to finish his homework before doing anything else, otherwise he would have been procrastinating and not wanting to do his homework.
Hearing their voices, Su Hui smiled while chopping up the meat on the chopping board.
Well, for the sake of their cuteness, let's make another braised pork today.
She hasn't eaten for a long time, and she is also a little hungry.
Thinking about it this way, Su Hui chopped the meat into minced meat, cut it into meatballs, put a piece of shiitake mushroom slices on top, put it in a basin, and steamed it over high heat, it will be a delicious delicacy.
On the side, there is a row of clean canned fruit bottles, which Su Hui bought back from the recycling station on purpose. This kind of bottle is much more airtight than jars. It is used to hold sauce. If it is sent long distance, the shelf life should be longer longer.
The more than 300 yuan that Sun Qiang gave her after the house was built was all contributed by Zhang Ping's comrades in arms. She always remembered this kind of favor.
She doesn't like to owe others.
It took Zhang Baoguo half an hour to finish his homework and the tasks assigned by his mother, and then happily joined the ranks of his younger brother, sharing the comic book together. He read from the beginning, while reading, read to his younger brother what was written on it, Zhang Weiguo The three of them listened attentively, and they didn't dislike starting all over again.
How could it be enough for them to read such a wonderful little book
The villain's book is not thick, but the food is ready, Su Hui told them to wash their hands and clean up the table for dinner, they were reluctant to put it down.
Zhang Baoguo stood up immediately after hearing this, and went to wash his hands, only Zhang Weiguo shouted: "Mom, can you wait a while? Let's eat after watching."
Su Hui: "Okay, you don't have to eat meat, you can eat the rest after we finish eating."
Zhang Weiguo immediately stood up and washed his hands: "Mom, I'm going to wash my hands now!" The comic book can't run away, and he can read it later, and he won't have his share of the meat later.
Seeing the second brother like this, Zhang Dingguo laughed: "Second brother, you can eat it later, I will help you eat your portion of meat!"
Zhang Anguo's face was a little red: "Second brother, I can help you eat." The meat, the meat made by my mother, is delicious!
Zhang Weiguo snorted: "I don't need your help, mom, where's the peanut butter, I want to eat that." Mom just made the peanut butter yesterday, after eating it once, Zhang Weiguo ranked it only behind meat.
Zhang Anguo: "I want bean paste. Bean paste is delicious when dipped in meat."
Zhang Dingguo: "I want mushroom meat sauce."
Zhang Baoguo: "I can do it."
Su Hui ruthlessly rejected: "There are vegetables tonight, no sauce, these are enough for you to eat, Baoguo, you can run an errand for me tomorrow."
Zhang Baoguo: "Where are you going?"
"Go to the educated youth to order." Su Hui's mouth curled into a smile: "It's a good thing, you have to thank them."
