There was a flood this year. There was a river dredging here, and the water level rose, flooding the low section of the river bank.
But in general, it is not serious. In some areas where the river is blocked and the water flow cannot be dredged in time, it will be bad. The crops and houses are flooded, and the losses are heavy.
When the news came, Zhang Chengye led people to observe the situation by the river every day, and if there was anything wrong, he would notify in time.
At the same time, he also called on everyone to put the food and valuables at home into wooden barrels and large vats, and seal them well, so that if there is an accident, they will not be harmed by water.
At present, there will be floods here, but corresponding preparations must be made. The ditches in the fields are dredged in time every day, and traffic is prohibited under the mountain.
The end of the period came in heavy rain.
Su Hui corrected the test papers. For the first and second grade test papers, Zhang Baoguo took the first place and Zhang Fenghua took the second place.
This achievement is not surprising, if there is something else, it is called an accident.
Zhang Baoguo is in the fourth grade, not taught by her, but he also won the first place.
Su Hui gave their brothers 5 cents as a reward.
The two of them collected the money and put the precious ones in their piggy bank.
Zhang Anguo and Zhang Dingguo are looking forward to it very much. Now that the term is over, they will go to school when school starts in September. Then they will also take the exam. If they get the first place in the exam, they will also get 5 cents from their mother!
The two brothers expressed their great anticipation for this, and in secret, they increased the study time. When the time comes, the twin brother/twin brother will be his competitor, and he will have to work harder!
After more than a week, Su Hui went to the town to take an exam, and she got excellent grades. After that, she went to the town again, and together with the second-year students of this year, she got a junior high school graduation certificate, which represented the end of her junior high school career.
—
Zhang Weiguo felt that he was going to be moldy, and if he wanted to go outside, even if he didn't play anything, he could just go for a walk, as long as he didn't get bored in a small place, so when Su Hui went to hand in the "homework" with him, Zhang Weiguo The first reaction is to go over in my mind whether I have been good recently, whether I have done anything, and after confirming it, I cheer.
It would be nice to turn in homework and get out and about!
The raincoat is made of the transparent film inside the fertilizer bag, and it is made into a cloak. It is tied with belts in front of the neck and chest, and a bamboo hat is worn on the head to prevent rainwater from seeping in.
It was raining heavily, and there were very few people outside. The few I saw occasionally were wearing all kinds of raincoats, holding hoes, and hurriedly walking, and it was impossible to tell who they were.
After going out for a short distance, his shoes were soaked. Zhang Weiguo simply took off the shoes and held them in his hands.
He is used to being barefoot.
On Su Hui's feet is a pair of water shoes. At this time, rubber water shoes are expensive, and many people are reluctant to buy them. Not every household has them.
But this thing is really useful, especially in this weather.
They went to the cowshed and they were all there.
Now their roofs have been repaired, so it won’t rain heavily outside and heavy rain inside like before, but now it’s raining heavily outside and light rain falling inside, and the exposed places are more concentrated, so they won’t leak onto the bed or the table .
Su Hui called Wen Wenxue to the cowshed next door, where real cows lived.
The roof here has all been replaced with new tiles and has just been overhauled.
When Wenxueqing saw their mother and son coming, she stood up and didn't speak in front of everyone. When she came to this side, she whispered in the heavy rain, but she couldn't hear her at the other side.
He glanced at Su Hui, and said to Zhang Weiguo, "Where's your homework? Show me."
Uncle Wen pointed out here: "I reminded you of this question and this question, and you forgot to draw your attention. You can do it again and see if it is still the same. This answer."
After a few words, Wenxueqing sent Zhang Weiguo to a corner to continue solving the problem. He and Su Hui stood at the door, looking in all directions: "You came to see me, what's the matter?"
"right."
Su Hui took out a package: "This is from Wei Guo's father's comrade-in-arms. He feels sorry for the four of them who lost their father. He has taken good care of our mother and child. He is also very grateful that you saved Wei Guo. This is his A heartfelt gift from him, and there are also things specially given to him by his friends."
Wenxueqing swallowed the words that he was going to refuse, and that friend should be his son.
He opened it to look, and when he saw that thing, his eyes were moistened, it was indeed his son, except him, how could anyone know that he had this hobby
He accepted it silently: "Don't have a second time."
"Also, don't come here so diligently, it's enough for Wei Guo to come over."
"I know."
"I won't keep you anymore, you go back."
He walked over to look at Zhang Weiguo's steps, and nodded: "Yes, you can do it slowly when you get back, don't worry." He paused: "Looking at the rain now, there may still be some rain, I said, you write. "
He just opened his mouth and added a few pages of homework to Zhang Weiguo.
Zhang Weiguo, who has learned from the past, rarely comes out to let the wind out, but when he comes out, he returns with a few pages of homework: "..."
If you die by yourself, you will have to suffer it even if you cry.
Walking on the road, Zhang Weiguo was barefoot, feeling the wet and slippery soil under his feet. He became more playful, and would deliberately rub his toes to squeeze out "mud pills" one by one. When facing the heavy rain, it turned into a puddle of mud and merged into the earth.
He stretched out his hand, feeling the rain crackling outside on his arm, and followed his mother.
"Mom, shouldn't my cousin continue to come to our house to study?" He didn't know the reason very well, but his mother told him not to do what Uncle Wen taught him as much as possible in front of his cousin.
He could only do homework assigned by his mother at noon, and after Zhang Fenghua left, he would write Uncle Wen's.
"She has a self-motivated mind, which most people don't have." Su Hui thought about the students in her class.
Most people hold the idea of Zhao Laidi. If the son misses her, her grades are good, and the family is not struggling, she can support her until she graduates from primary school. Generally speaking, after two years of study, she can know common words and count, and that’s enough. The children in the family don't understand the benefits of learning. In such an environment, they are influenced by what they hear and see, and they basically don't take learning too seriously.
In itself, learning is a boring thing that requires perseverance.
Zhang Fenghua is motivated, she can do what she can, and she will not be stingy.
The little girl was already very hard. She had to do homework, go to school, and teach her two younger sisters.
In contrast, Zhang Jinhua's life is much easier. He never does any work at home. He goes to school in the morning and goes to the fields in the afternoon depending on the situation.
His grades are also mediocre. He is in the upper middle of the class and doesn't pay much attention to his studies. I guess he is waiting for the fifth grade in his heart, and he will not continue after he gets his primary school diploma.
It goes without saying that Zhang Fenghua was able to persevere when the girl herself was in a disadvantaged situation.
In a few more years, if she continues to persevere, she will be able to take the college entrance examination. If she can become a college student, she will not have to worry about it in this day and age.
"In this world, girls have a harder life than boys, so help if you can."
Zhang Weiguo nodded half-understood, he suddenly thought of his two younger brothers, he has no younger sister, as if he had heard someone say before, it would be nice if only one of them was a daughter.
"Mom, do you want a daughter?"
Su Hui asked back, "Do you want a younger sister?"
After thinking for a while, Zhang Weiguo shook his head: "My younger brother is also very cute." His two younger brothers are naturally fairer in complexion. After eating well, they are white and fat. They are very attractive. In terms of appearance, they are really not inferior to those cute younger sister.
Su Hui: "That's good."
Daughter... Speaking of it, boys are easier to raise, and it’s okay to raise them roughly. Girls need to pay more attention, and with her personality, she definitely can’t teach soft girls. She probably can only raise bullies. There is nothing wrong with Hua, Bawanghua, but it will be more prominent in general, and it will bear more strange stares and pointers from others.
Su Hui shook off these thoughts, thinking that some of these are useless, useless, the four boys, she can't change it just because she thinks about it.
"You will be in the second grade when school starts."
Zhang Weiguo hummed, and suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Your two younger brothers want to skip a grade, according to their level, no problem."
My younger brother is in the same grade as me
Zhang Weiguo turned pale with shock, how can this work? He is two years older than his brother!
"Mom, I want to skip a grade too!"
Zhang Weiguo didn't want to be in the same grade as his two younger brothers. If he said that, what face would he have as an older brother? Where is the majesty of being an older brother
Why didn't he hear from his two younger brothers before that he was going to skip a grade! He wants to dance too!
Taking advantage of this summer vacation, he studied hard, and the knowledge of the second grade could not trouble him at all. He has his mother and Uncle Wen as tutors.
"I skipped a grade, and I can still save my mother's tuition!" Fearing that Su Hui would disagree, he thought of such a reason.
Save money, Mom will definitely approve!
The smile on the corner of Su Hui's mouth flashed: "Are you sure? Can it work?"
The knowledge of the second grade really didn't bother him.
Zhang Weiguo nodded affirmatively: "I can do it!"
So it was so relaxed and happy that he decided to skip a grade and make up lessons this summer.
Zhang Baoguo also felt a sense of crisis about the three younger brothers skipping a grade. He knew the level of the second brother, and he was very likely to be in the third grade.
Second brother, you won't keep skipping grades until you are equal to him, right
As an older brother, being in the same grade as a younger brother who is a few years younger than him is really a bit embarrassing.
After making a decision, Su Hui found a time to go to the old principal and tell the matter.
The matter of skipping a grade has not happened in the past few years, but it has happened before. He accepted it well, and he didn't even ask the reason, so he figured it out by himself.
She wants all the children to study, but how big is the burden for four children? She gives her children extra lessons at home and skips grades, which can save three yuan a year, and one person can save three yuan a year.
Three yuan is not a small sum, as long as their grades are passable, they will be able to skip a grade.
This summer vacation, the four of their brothers are all stuck in supplementary classes. Zhang Fenghua also drives them to study together. She also wants to skip a grade. She looks for an opportunity to tell her father that if she succeeds in skipping a grade, can she save a year of tuition fees? My sister also goes to school
This is not the first time that Zhang Quan has been asked about this matter by his eldest daughter. Speaking of which, the two younger daughters have also reached the age of school, but all four children go to school, and the annual cost is twelve yuan. The money earned after deducting the food from the work points earned in the field during the year is not as much as twelve yuan.
Maybe this year there will be more, but it's not sure how many.
He said at the time that he needed to think about it, but Zhang Fenghua also understood what he meant. Now that his daughter asked again, Zhang Quan felt uncomfortable. It was really inconvenient to be blind, but didn't the two of them have the help of her elder sister? Have you learned to read
No worse than going to school.
But in addition to literacy, there are many teachers who talk about it in school, and she has no way to tell her two younger sisters the original flavor.
Zhao Laidi knew it, and poked Zhang Fenghua's forehead: "If you skip a grade, you skip a grade. It's best to save us a year's tuition fees, but why do you let your two younger sisters go to school? Isn't it the same for you to teach them? You treat money as a big wind." It's blowing, the weather is fine, don't you go to your second aunt to do your homework and read books every day? Take your two younger sisters there, she teaches you at school and at home is the same. "
Zhang Fenghua didn't know whether it was the red eyes from being poked, or the red eyes from what she said: "But, but after that, the second aunt only taught the first and second grades, besides, the second aunt also has her own things to do, I do my homework there, She is often away and has to go to work, so we are basically the only ones there."
Zhao Laidi said: "Then you won't beg her, she has let you study, what will happen if you bring two more people? Even if she has to work, isn't there a few of your cousins? The twins also If you want to learn, let them follow suit."
Looking at the tears in her daughter's eyes, Zhao Laidi slowed down her tone: "I know you are doing it for your sister's good, but how can you have so much money at home? You study more and come back to teach your two sisters that they are the same."
This is her first daughter, and she is the one she values most among the three daughters, otherwise she wouldn't have given her the right to go to school when she was going to go to school.
Zhang Fenghua's tears finally fell: "... I'll teach them at home."
She is very clear about the progress of the twins. The two younger sisters have gone, and they can only let others teach her. It's okay for a while, but who will have that patience in the long run
She is sometimes impatient in teaching, the family has been separated there, she is very aware of this, she often goes to ask questions, if the two younger sisters also go, she is not so thick-skinned.
The continuous rainy season has finally passed. Although there will be occasional thunderstorms, it is basically full of sunshine.
When the sun comes out, many things can be done easily.
But Zhang Weiguo is not so free anymore, he has to be busy with his studies, he is the one who will take the grade skipping exam at the beginning of school, the grade skipping exam papers are given by the third grade teacher, and his mother doesn't know what the exam will be, so he can only take the textbook, Not to be taken lightly.
Zhang Anguo and Zhang Dingguo giggled, did they come to him on purpose and ask, "Second Brother, shall we go out to play?"
Zhang Weiguo was sad and indignant: "... you go!"
Only then did Zhang Anguo and Zhang Dingguo leave happily.
They are quite looking forward to it, how fun it is to be in the same grade as the second brother.
Not long after, it was time for the rice harvest.
At this time, no matter men, women, young or old, all go to battle. If the crops are not harvested in time, a heavy rain will cause heavy losses.
Su Hui straightened her waist and breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhao Xialan on the side road also straightened her body and relaxed.
She beat her waist with her left hand: "My waist."
She kept bending over to cut rice, and she wondered if her waist was still hers.
Next to him, Zhang Dingguo came out of the paddy field in full clothes, holding a small cloth bag with rice grains in it. They were scattered on the ground, and many children were responsible for picking them up.
The older ones, like Zhang Jinhua and Zhang Baoguo, were responsible for carrying piles of cut rice to the threshing ground.
Everyone is very busy.
The rice harvesters, the rice threshers, and the sun-dryers, Zhou Xiaoqing and Li Manfen were all turning and drying the rice in the drying yard.
Zhou Xiaoqing is a pregnant woman. Except for those who are sick, she doesn't ask for leave at this time. If she doesn't come, she will definitely be said to be pampered by those eight women, and she will simply ask for an easy job.
With such a big sun, she didn't want to go to the ground.
Li Manfen's age is not too old, but she caught a cold and felt a little uncomfortable. After talking about it, she shared it with her pregnant third daughter-in-law here to dry the rice, and turned them over every once in a while to make the sun more even. At the same time, I watched the sparrows and other flying birds, and one of them didn't watch, and the hula-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-flyed bird to eat.
Seeing his daughter-in-law raking the grain slowly, Li Manfen, who was working swiftly, simply turned his head away, chatting with other people.
Before she was pregnant, she was not diligent, and after she was pregnant, she was even lazy. When she gave birth to her grandson, she must make her change.
Doing things so slowly makes me angry.
She turned this piece of millet over again, squatted down, picked up one, and pressed it hard. With today's weather, it can be stored in the warehouse after another two days of drying.
She looked up and glanced at the sky without a single cloud, the sun was dazzling, she quickly lowered her head and rubbed her eyes.
It looks like it won't rain today.
She was thinking like this, but the wind blew up in the afternoon, and when it was windy, she looked up at the sky frequently, and when she saw a cloud drifting over, she raised her heart together with the others.
Seeing that the sky was overcast, I hurriedly put away the rice that was almost ready for storage.
The rain at this time is fast and urgent.
"Crackling—"
Without giving them much time, the rain fell from the sky and the sun was still shining.
"It's raining sun!"
"Help quickly, block this place!"
"The one over there just hit today, don't worry about him!"
In a hurry, I finally blocked the rice with something, and the rain stopped.
"For God's sake! To keep us from being comfortable!"
No matter what the scolding, the rice still needs to be dried, and the rice should be flattened on the drying ground again, accepting the hot "caress" of the sun, and evaporating the moisture in the rice.
Spreading out the piles of rice again on the ground where there were almost no rain flowers, Zhou Xiaoqing took a breath and put it away quickly, so she didn't remember being lazy.
The drying yard is usually very busy, but if it rains, it's a race against God for speed.
She had just caught her breath when Zhang Anguo jumped over.
"Third aunt, grandma, the team leader asked me to pass a message to you. Third aunt's two younger brothers are educated youths who went to the countryside. They just came to our village today. Now they go to the educated youth order. Let me tell you."
Li Manfen doubted her own ears: "... What are you talking about? Your third aunt's two younger brothers?"
Zhang Anguo scratched his head: "Yeah, I just went home to fill the water, and I happened to see it. Uncle the captain just brought it back from town. One of them looks a lot like Third Aunt."
Zhou Xiaoqing came back to her senses, and immediately ran to the educated youth spot.
Li Manfen came up in one breath, and almost couldn't hold back, this is a real daughter-in-law! Just run away like this? What if it rains again!
