From Cultivator to Widow

After the Lantern Festival, a spring breeze blew, and the school started. Zhang Chengye also organized villagers to prepare for spring ploughing.

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 An was in charge of the first and second grades, and the other two teachers were in charge of the third, fourth and fifth grades.

When they become teachers, they don’t give money or food in the village, but they earn work points. They are the same as adult strong laborers, with 10 work points a day. Now because of the special period, their village only has half a day of classes, and they can get such high work points for half a day. Envy others.

Knowing that this job is rare, the three of them cherish this job very much, do their best to every student, and teach them as much as possible.

A few of them did their best, and the students' grades were the best feedback, and they saw their children's grades. The villagers didn't say anything about cutting out a teacher. The total amount is so much. The more people divide it, the less it will be allocated to individuals. This account will be calculated by everyone.

In the middle of the day, in the afternoon, these students are all half-year-old girls and boys. They can do things at home and abroad. They will go home and help in the field work. In the past half a day, they sometimes went to the field to earn more work points. Sometimes I am responsible for various household chores at home.

Now Su Hui didn't go to earn work points in the afternoon, and just served the private plot at home.

This private plot was originally a mountainous area, where there were assorted shrubs and weeds, as well as many small stones. After leveling, the coffin disappeared, and the wild grass rose again when the spring breeze blew, and 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 the guidance of Zhang Gen, Su An went to the mountain to dig pine leaf mud and burn the compost of plant ash.

Her movements to the ground were a little unfamiliar at first, but after doing it back and forth a few times, she became proficient.

All of this private plot must be planted with sweet potatoes and corn, and some ginger, onion, garlic, and green vegetables, as well as pumpkin seedlings, can be planted in the corners, and the vines can spread to the yard.

In addition to taking care of her own plot, Su An also went up the mountain to chop firewood and grass.

Zhang Baoguo also has no time to spare. 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 of his quick movements, he can also get two or three points. He also has to do exercises under the instruction of his mother, teach his younger brother simple literacy and mathematics, and read newspapers aloud, which is not enough.

Zhang Weiguo is also very busy.

After his mother and brother both went to school, he and his two younger brothers went to Houshan to pick up bamboo shells, and went to the river to fish for small snails to feed the chickens.

But now there are not so many things at this time. He mostly plays outside with his two younger brothers. The morning is their brother's play time. When his mother and brother come back, they will have work to do.

My mother got some wood chips from somewhere, wrote numbers and some simple common words, and taught them to play games while teaching them how to read. I am happy, and because my mother and eldest brother are both studying, my mother has to take a higher education, and my eldest brother is assigned a lot of tasks by his mother. Someone drives the study, and the learning atmosphere is improved, and it is not so difficult to sit down and study.

After getting used to it, Zhang Weiguo also got used to the life of playing in the morning and studying while playing in the afternoon. In comparison, Zhang Anguo sat the most stable, and gave him an empty book, a pen, and a small book. , he can sit there for most of the day, and can't even call him out to play.

The one who couldn't sit still the most was Zhang Dingguo. It looked like he had nails under his buttocks.

People have different temperaments. As long as he completes the task on time and he goes out to play, Su An will not force him.

Not as good as Zhang Weiguo, he is going to school, and although he is a little frizzy, he still sits and learns quickly. According to this progress, Su An thinks he can try skipping grades.

What Zhang Gen said also makes sense. All four children go to school, and outsiders seem to be under a lot of pressure. In this case, a smart child can save a year of tuition by skipping a grade.

The first grade was the basics.

She takes care of it, and can also grind his temper.

There is no work suitable for children today, so Zhang Baoguo did not go to the field to earn work points. He first went home and patrolled the private plot with a sense of responsibility. He didn't find any work, so he ran out to play.

On the way, he saw Zhang Jinhua, the elder brother in the lobby, and waved to him to go to the river together.

Zhang Baoguo followed his friends and went to the river together. Someone was working by the river. When he saw a bunch of boys, he told them not to go into the water, so he would leave them alone.

Raising children in this era is relatively rough and does not care too much. If it is not because it is winter, there will be no such warning that you can't go into the water, and there are few children in their village who can't swim.

The time with my friends passed very quickly. Zhang Baoguo, who was looking for fish on the stone piles by the river, looked up inadvertently and saw the sun that was starting to change color. It was getting late and it was time to go back.

Zhang Jinhua was puzzled, watching his cousin put back the rolled up trouser legs, and picking up the few mussels he touched: "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, why don't you get up early tomorrow and go to school to finish him?

There was an aunt who was a teacher, and a cousin who was a classmate. Zhang Jinhua, who did not dare to escape his homework, sighed.

Life is hard.

When Zhang Baoguo returned, his mother was at home. He had already boiled the bath water and started making dinner. He could smell the broth.

Haven't eaten the meat that mom bought yet? happiness. He put the mussels in a pot and went out to take a look. The three younger brothers turned their heads sideways and were reading a little book.

"What are you looking at?"

Zhang Weiguo didn't lift his head: "The little book that my mother just brought back today is very nice, brother, wait and tell us what is written on it." He didn't know a lot of words, so he couldn't guess it at all.

Although the picture is very good, the story with words will be more exciting.

There is a new villain book, and Zhang Baoguo's mind also floated, and he really wanted to read it. He had already flipped through the few villain books at home many times, and he struggled: "Okay, I've written my homework first, and I'll tell you later."

He has to finish his homework before doing anything else, or he'll be procrastinating and not wanting to do his homework.

Hearing their voices, Su An smiled while chopping the meat on the cutting board.

Well, for the sake of their cuteness, let's make another braised pork today.

She hadn't eaten for a long time, and she was also a little thirsty.

Thinking like this, Su Ann minced the meat into minced meat, pinched it into meat balls, then put a piece of shiitake mushroom on top, put it in a pot, and when it was steamed over high heat, it was a delicious meal.

On the side, there is a row of clean and clean canned fruit bottles, which Su An bought from the recycling station on purpose. This kind of bottle is much more airtight than a jar. It is used for sauce. If it is sent over a long distance, the shelf life should be longer. longer.

After Sun Qiang's house was built, the more than 300 yuan that was stuffed to her were all collected by Zhang Ping's comrades-in-arms. She always remembered this kind of favor.

She doesn't like to owe people.

Zhang Baoguo spent half an hour completing the homework and the tasks assigned by his mother, and then happily joined his younger brother to share the little book. The three of them listened attentively, and they didn't hate to start all over again.

Such a wonderful little book, how can they read it once?

The villains were not thick, but the food was ready. Su An asked them to wash their hands and clean up the table to eat, but they were reluctant to put them down.

Zhang Baoguo immediately stood up and went to wash his hands. Only Zhang Weiguo shouted, "Mom, can you wait a moment? We'll eat after we finish reading."

Su An: "Okay, just don't eat meat. You can eat the rest after we finish eating."

Zhang Weiguo immediately stood up and went to wash his hands: "Mom, I'm going to wash my hands now!" The villain won't run away, so I can read it later, and I won't have the meat later.

When Zhang Dingguo saw the second brother like this, he laughed: "Second brother, you can eat it later. I will help you eat your meat!"

Zhang Anguo's face was a little red: "Second brother, I can also help you eat." Meat, the meat made by my mother, is delicious!

Zhang Weiguo snorted: "I don't want your help, Mom, peanut butter, I want to eat that." Peanut butter was made by Mom only yesterday. After eating it once, Zhang Weiguo ranked it only after meat.

Zhang Anguo: "I want bean paste, which is delicious with meat."

Zhang Dingguo: "I want mushroom meat sauce."

Zhang Baoguo: "I can do it."

Su An ruthlessly dismissed: "Tonight there are vegetables, no sauce, these are enough for you to eat, Baoguo, you help me run errands tomorrow."

Zhang Baoguo: "Where are you going?"

"Go to the educated youth." Su An's mouth curled into a smile: "It's a good thing, you have to thank others."
