Chapter 122 go to school

In the latter half of the year, when they were resting, Lin Wei, Deng Xiangyun and Chen Bamei, no, they should be called Chen Lihua now. The three of them went to the agricultural brigade together, mainly to see the house that Chen Lihua would live in in the future.

Regarding the future residence, Chen Lihua has three options. One is to live in an educated youth spot. Well, although Yaxian County is remote, there are educated youths who go to the countryside. However, there are not many educated youths in the agricultural brigade. There are only five female educated youths.

Because there was not enough housing for the educated youth, the five female educated youth were crowded into one room and slept in the same bed. If Chen Lihua lives in, she can add another bed for her. The conditions are relatively poor, but you don’t need to pay to live in, and you can eat with the educated youth, which is an advantage.

The second is to rent the house of the brigade secretary’s house. The rent is not too expensive. Chen Lihua can afford it for two yuan a month. In this way, she can live loosely and eat with the brigade secretary’s family. The disadvantage is that she is an outsider after all, and it may be awkward to get along with her.

The third is to buy a house. There are two houses that can be bought. One is the house that the secretary of the brigade plans to rent to her. She can open a door from the side door and go out independently. The other is the house of the widow in the village. Open a door for her alone.

The advantage of the former house is that it is in a good location and is located in the center of the brigade. The disadvantage is that it is expensive and reluctant to transfer the property. , it is not clear whether the brigade secretary will change his face.

The latter house is relatively remote, but there are also people around, so no one will know that it will not be bullied. The advantages of this house are also obvious. First, the price is cheap. , if Chen Lihua can stand up, he will not be bullied.

So in comparison, the first thing that was unanimously ruled out was buying the house of the brigade secretary’s house, which was expensive and risky and not worth it.

Among the remaining three options, Zhou Jianhai prefers the first two options. In his opinion, Chen Lihua has reached the age to get married, and he will not live long after buying a house, so it is unnecessary.

Deng Xiangyun feels that each has its own advantages. Although it is a rural house, it is better to have a constant property in hand than nothing. The question is whether Chen Lihua can stand up. If she can’t stand up, it is useless to have a house in her hand.

After learning about Deng Xiangyun’s concerns, Lin Wei said, “I think you can ask her for her opinion and let her make her own choice.”

“Let her make her own choices?” Deng Xiangyun was stunned. “She is still so young, how can she imagine such a long-term future.”

Lin Wei disagreed with her point of view, saying: “Young age doesn’t mean she has no idea. If she had no idea, she would not have followed the children to learn to read, and even if she did, she might not be able to persevere. This girl is a Resilient.”

In Lin Wei’s opinion, if Chen Lihua’s character is weak and can’t stand up, she will never choose to leave the Zhou family, even if it is to not drag her cousin and sister-in-law.

The life of the Zhou family is so comfortable. Although he is a nanny, Xiao Shishi is almost five years old. He has a well-behaved personality and is easy to bring. All she has to do is eat three meals a day and do hygiene every two or three days.

No one in the Zhou family would bully her. With Zhou Jianhai’s blessing, she didn’t need to face the wind and rain outside. People who are not tough enough will not take this step easily.

What’s more, in the original work, Chen Lihua did have a good life after leaving the Zhou family. A person’s character is often determined early and will not change dramatically in an instant.

Since Chen Lihua in the original book was able to persuade the brigade to set up a factory and engage in farming in the late 1970s, Lin Wei believes that she can now make the best choice for herself.

Because of Lin Wei’s suggestion, Deng Xiangyun finally let Chen Lihua make his own decision.

After thinking about it, Chen Lihua chose to buy the house of the widow’s family.

Because she is a girl, she was treated differently by her parents when she was born. She has a home, but it seems that she has no home. Later, when she arrived at Zhou’s house, her cousin cousin and sister-in-law treated her very well, but it always made people feel uneasy when she was under the fence, so she was obsessed with the house.

She didn’t buy a house blindly either. The widow’s house was not expensive because it was made of adobe and was relatively old. And because the house has been lived in for a long time, she doesn’t need to repair it too much after buying it. There are even bed boards in the house, and all she needs to buy are small items such as wardrobes and tables.

In short, after all the expenses are calculated, her salary can still fall in the early 100s. As for the food she can borrow from the brigade, her work points will be calculated at the end of the year. If it is not enough, the money she has on hand should be enough to repay the account.

As long as you get through this year, things will get better next year.

Seeing that Chen Lihua did have an idea, Deng Xiangyun and his wife didn’t say anything else. Zhou Jianhai negotiated the matter of buying a house, and it was also a person who told the agricultural brigade that although Chen Lihua was alone, he was not reliable.

The house repair was also done by Zhou Jianhai who asked for help, but Chen Lihua was not idle. During this time, he often went to the new house to supervise the work, so as not to be fooled.

Because it was only repaired and another door opened, the house was almost finished in less than half a month. Zhou Jianhai helped find someone to buy some second-hand furniture to move in. Chen Lihua cleaned up the house and was able to live in it, so he invited them to see it.

The agricultural brigade was not far away, and it only took twenty minutes to walk there. The brigade was not large, with a total of about seventy households.

The widow’s house is at the end of the village, and there are four or five families next to it.

The widow’s house is not very big, it is a three-room structure, two bedrooms on the left and right, and the main room in the middle. The house on the left of the sale to Chen Lihua originally had the door leading to the living room, but now the door to the living room is blocked, and the door opens to the outside, so that she does not have to go through the yard, and the house is relatively independent.

The house was very clean. Chen Lihua was a diligent person, not to mention that this was her new home, so she was naturally full of enthusiasm when she cleaned up.

Lin Wei stood at the door and looked in, and saw that the small house was divided into two halves. There was a bed and a wardrobe with a single door on the left side of the door. There was a small table next to the bed with a few books on it. It’s her desk. On the right is the bedroom, with a cupboard, a small coal stove, and two small pots.

Lin Wei asked, “Are you planning to cook by yourself later?”

“It’s more convenient to do it yourself.” Chen Lihua said, although it’s good to work with others, but you can’t eat independently, so it’s better to do it yourself.

“fair enough.”

After seeing the house, a few people didn’t stay too long, ready to go home. Before leaving, the sister-in-law next door came back. The other party was stunned when they saw them and asked, “Are you relatives of Xiao Chen?”

Deng Xiangyun smiled and said, “I’m Lihua’s sister-in-law, are you Mrs. Zhao?”

“Eh, yes, are you here today?”

“We just came to see how Lihua’s house is being tidied up. You know, she lives here as a girl, so our party brothers and sisters-in-law will inevitably be more concerned. In the future, when Lihua lives in, I would like to ask you to help take care of her.”

Sister Zhao is also a smart person. After understanding Deng Xiangyun’s meaning, she quickly said, “It should be, we will be neighbors in the future.”

Before buying the house, Zhou Jianhai asked someone to inquire about Sister Zhao’s situation, knowing that she was an honest person, so Chen Lihua bought the house. So after getting her answer, Deng Xiangyun was relieved, and the two exchanged a few words before saying goodbye.

…

At the end of the month, the two got together for a meal. It was a practice for Chen Lihua, but it was not a practice. After all, she just moved out of the family home, and it was easy to come back to visit.

The day after the dinner, Zhou Jianhai helped Chen Lihua move.

After Chen Lihua moved out, Xiao Shi was left without anyone to take care of him.

However, Deng Xiangyun’s current situation is much better than two years ago. Because she works in a hospital pharmacy, she is no longer as reclusive as she used to be. In addition, she has a mild personality. Except for a few military sister-in-law who likes to speak out, most people will not take it again. Her composition speaks for itself, and her popularity has improved a lot.

And the children basically follow the adults, because Deng Xiangyun’s popularity has improved, and Xiao Shishi is no longer the same as before. Although his best friend is still Mingming Ruirui, when they are not at home, he also finds other children to play with.

Now Deng Xiangyun is no longer worried that she will be bullied by handing over the small stone to others, so after Chen Lihua left, she sent her son to the military sister-in-law who specializes in taking care of children.

Because she had an hour and a half break at noon, she did not let the other party take care of the lunch, and the cost was relatively cheap, only three yuan per month.

And it’s just a matter of a few months to send the child. When the school starts in September, Xiao Shishi will be able to go to school.

It’s not just Xiao Shishi who will go to school in September, Lin Wei also plans to let Mingming Ruirui go to school.

Although it is stipulated that first-year students need to be at least six years old, the actual enrollment process of the school does not check the age very much, but if they are too young to go to school, they may not be able to keep up. Therefore, the school does not recommend parents to send their children to school too early.

But after the new semester started, Xiao Shi, the youngest among the three children, was five years old, not too young. In addition, they took two years of classes with Lin Wei, even the most sloppy one would not be able to keep up with the second grade, so there was no need to waste time waiting for another year.

Because it was clear that Ruirui was going to school, and it was useful during the summer vacation, Lin Wei made a small schoolbag for each of them.

These days, military satchels are popular. Whether primary school students, middle school students or those who have already participated in work, they are proud to carry military satchels. But military satchels are not something that ordinary people can get. Most people can at most pull some army green cloth to make a satchel of similar style.

Zong Shao has a military bag, but he only has one bag, and two children are not enough. So Lin Wei still pulled the cloth and made a messenger bag for each of the two children, with a five-pointed star sewn on it, which looked like something like that.

But the person who received the satchel was obviously not very happy, not that he didn’t like this one, but that receiving this bag meant that he was going to school.

As a scumbag, he didn’t want to go to school at all.

Although he had to go to school with Lin Wei every day before, he was not a student at that time, so he didn’t have to be trapped in the classroom every day. He spent most of the time playing with his younger brother in the office and taking care of his younger sister.

Moreover, Lin Wei took two classes. He went to school for half a day at most. Although he still had to take classes when he got home, there were not many classes, so he still had plenty of time to play every day.

After school, life is not so good. Not only do I have to stay at school for seven or eight hours every day, but I still have homework when I get home. Most importantly, I only have one day off a week.

Just thinking about the bleak days in the future makes my heart break, so much so that my meals have become less fragrant recently.

Zong Shao quickly discovered the change in his son. After having dinner one night, he asked Lin Wei about it: “What happened to Mingming recently? I think he only ate a bowl of rice at night.”

With age, Mingming Ruirui’s appetite has also changed significantly.

In the past, they ate at most one bowl of rice at a time, and occasionally they would ask for more rice if they had a particularly good appetite. But now they start with one and a half bowls of rice, and eat two bowls of rice when their appetite is good.

It was already half a year ago that I ate a bowl of rice last time.

Lin Wei said angrily, “I know I have to go to school, so I’m depressed.”

“He hasn’t gotten used to school life yet?” Zong Shao asked helplessly. He felt that obviously following Lin Wei to school every day to report, he should have adapted to school life.

“He’s not used to school life, he’s not used to going to school, he just likes to play,” Lin Wei said with a wave of her hand, “Let him go, he won’t be hungry for a few days, just recognize the reality.”

You must go to school. You must have graduated from college in your previous life. Even if you can’t go further in this life, at least it can’t be worse than your previous life.

Zong Shao is not the kind of person who spoils children, so he won’t ask if he hears Lin Wei’s words.

But after being hungry for a few days, after realizing the reality, he really regained his appetite. It won’t work if he doesn’t recover. Because he hasn’t eaten much these days, he doesn’t have much energy to go out to play.

There are only a few days left to leave school, he must hurry up and play enough in this last time!

But it turns out that playing is never enough. On September 1, Mingming was carrying a satchel across his back, and he felt like going to school and going to punishment.

Originally, it was clear that Ruirui often went to school with Lin Jiu shígG Du Jiawei, and the teachers were very familiar with them. They could easily recognize who was who with just one mouth.

But today, because I was clearly in a depressed mood and didn’t talk as much as usual, the head teacher of the first-grade class couldn’t tell who they were.

However, the head teacher is a smart person. When greeting, he called out Mingming Ruirui’s name, and then asked, “What happened to Mingming today? You don’t seem to be in a good mood?”

Hearing the head teacher’s words, he raised his head reflexively, glanced at the teacher sadly, and then sighed deeply.

Noticing his small movements, the head teacher thought, it turns out that today is melancholy.
