Chapter 134 School starts

  Tian Shao went home the night before school started.

  Li Guihua saw her and couldn't help complaining: "You have to go back to the factory tomorrow morning, what can you do when you come back?"

   Tian Shao asked for a half-day leave on purpose, and Section Chief He happily approved the leave after knowing the reason for the leave.

   "I heard that you have to deduct money if you ask for leave. Tian Daya, the deduction is one yuan a day. Your father and I can't earn so much money from morning till night."

  Tian Shao smiled and said: "Don't worry, if the leader approves, the money will not be deducted, and the absenteeism will only deduct the money, and if there are too many times, the criticism will be reported."

  Hearing that there is no need to deduct money, Li Guihua stopped talking.

   Tian Shao took her three younger sisters to school. The principal of the elementary school, surnamed Xin, was in his early thirties, an old educated youth, and it was from him that he got the graduation certificate of Tianshao Elementary School.

   Knowing that Tian Shao wanted Sanya to study by himself to get a diploma and also wanted Siya and Wuya to study from the second grade, he did not refuse. There are too few girls studying in rural areas, and it would be good to have one more.

  He first gave Sanya the math test paper at the end of the second half of the third grade, and then gave Siya and Wuya the first-grade Chinese test paper.

   Sanya was so nervous that her palms were sweating, but she was relieved after reading the topic and found that it was not difficult. Then, according to Tian Shaojiao's teaching, review the questions first, and then answer the paper carefully after reviewing the questions.

  Siya either frowned or bit the pencil after getting the test paper. It was obvious that this question was very difficult for her. On the contrary, it was Wuya who was doing the questions seriously.

   An hour later, Principal Xin collected all three test papers. The fourth ya did a third of the work without marking at all, the fifth ya scored 53 points in the test, and the third ya got 79 points in the math test.

  Principal Xin said: "Lingling, Siya and Wuya still have to study from the first grade, and Sanya can start self-study from the fourth grade."

  The fifth girl was very sad, she felt very guilty that this month's money was wasted.

   Tian Shao thanked Principal Xin and said: "Principal, my three younger sisters will trouble the Principal from now on."

  There are only three teachers in their village primary school including the principal, and some grades have only a dozen students in one class. There is no way, now everyone thinks that reading is useless and does not want to send their children. The students in the school are basically boys, and the girls who can come to study are from well-off and favored families.

  Principal Xin sighed a little: "It's not troublesome. Lingling, if there are more people like you in our commune, maybe everyone can change the notion that reading is useless and sending children to school."

  He has been advising everyone that the children of peasant families can only have a future by studying, but unfortunately, few people listen to him.

  Tian Shao smiled and said: "Principal, they will know the importance of studying in the future. At that time, you don't need to come to the door to tell them, they will send their children here."

  In the future, the country will assign jobs to technical secondary school students, junior college students, and undergraduate students. For those ordinary people who have no access and are eager to jump out of the farm gate, it is the only way for children to change their destiny, so they will firmly grasp it.

   "Hope!"

  Li Guihua knew that Si Ya and Wu Ya couldn't go to the second grade, so she felt that Fang Xiaojie didn't teach well: "Big Ya, don't let Fang Xiaojie teach, it's a waste of money."

  Erya didn’t want to attend class anymore, and said, “Elder Sister, I don’t understand many of the things that Sister Xiaojie told me. Every time I listen to her class, I doze off.”

   Tian Shao discovered early on that this girl has no talent and hates reading. Tian Shao no longer expects her to get a primary school diploma, but only hopes that she can read more and not be illiterate.

  Tian Shao looked at Sanya and asked, "Do you also think that two yuan a month is more important than reading and writing?"

  Sanya really didn't want Fang Xiaojie to teach, she said: "Sister, Xiaojie reads according to the textbook, so I might as well read the book by myself! Sister, I still want to learn by myself, and I won't teach me until you come back."

   Erya added: "Recently she is always in a daze in class, not concentrating at all."

  No matter what you encounter, you should do your best when you get paid. This is the most basic professionalism. But Fang Xiaojie is not a professional after all, so she can't be harsh on her, Tian Shao asked, "Did something happen to her?"

   "Nothing happened in the team recently."

  During the lunch break, Tian Shao went to find Fang Xiaojie, seeing her exhausted and bloodshot eyes, it was obvious that she hadn't rested well: "Sister Fang, has something happened to you recently?"

  Fang Xiaojie didn't hide anything, and said, "Lingling, something happened to my family."

   Tian Shao asked with concern: "Is there anything I can do to help?"

  Fang Xiaojie was a little moved, but thinking about the current situation of the Tian family, she still shook her head and refused.

   After a few words of relief, Tian Shao tactfully expressed that she would not ask her to teach Sanya in the future.

Fang Xiaojie was a little panicked. The two yuan salary plus towels and soap made her life much more relaxed than before: "Dear girl, I've been a little distracted recently because of my mother's hospitalization. Big girl, don't worry, I will pay more attention to teaching the two in the future." Ah and Sanya."

Tian Shao explained: "Erya doesn't like studying, and she can't read it even if she is forced to; my mother wants Sanya to learn needlework from others, and she likes it very much. Siya and Wuya are going to school to study, and there are teachers to teach them. "

  Fang Xiaojie was very disappointed when she heard that the matter was a foregone conclusion.

  Meet Zhang Huilan on the way back, Tian Shao was apprehensive but still treated her politely.

  Zhang Huilan deliberately said: "Da Ya, do you know the rumors in the village?"

Tian Shao originally thought that she provoked this matter, but now seeing her bring it up, she became even more skeptical: "I know, it's just some gossip. I just treat Tian Jianle like a brother, and it won't take long for the rumors to be self-defeating." gone."

   Zhang Huilan stared at her and asked, "Are you really interested in Tian Jianle?"

   Tian Shao smiled and said, "I just want to get a high school diploma, and I don't want to get married yet."

  Zhang Huilan asked half-believingly, "Since you have no intentions of him, what do you always seek him for these days?"

  Tian Shao looked at her with a strange look, and said, "Of course I have business to find Brother Jianle. Sister Huilan, I'll go back first if I don't have anything to do."

  Zhang Huilan reminded: "If you have no intention of Tian Jianle, don't call him that, it will be misunderstood."

  Brother Jianle Brother Jianle’s music always sounds a bit coquettish and sweet, which makes her very uncomfortable.

   Tian Shao felt that she was out of her mind, and it would be okay to say this if she became Tian Jianle's object, but now that she has nothing to do with it, there is no position to criticize her. Tian Shao pulled his face and said: "I and the sisters in the village have been called that since we were young, what misunderstanding can there be?"

  Zhang Huilan was so blocked that she couldn't speak.

  Si Ya heard that Tian Shao was going to the county seat, and said with some expectation: "Sister, can I pick you up with Second Sister on Saturday?"

  Elementary school is five and a half days a week, and there is enough time to go to the county with Erya to pick up people.

  When Sanya and Wuya heard this, they also showed eagerness in their eyes.

  Tian Shao rubbed her short hair and scolded with a smile: "Don't try to be lazy, the homework assigned by the teacher must be done carefully, and you have to listen to your mother to earn more work points. Otherwise, you will not have your share of delicious food."

   Sanya pursed her lips and snickered. This trick is most effective for Siya, this girl is also starting to love cleaning now, she is no longer like a clay figurine every time she goes home. Even the second sister has a better temper now, and the fifth sister doesn't like to hide things as much as before. She feels that her life is getting better and better.
