A Little Village Girl in the 70s Relies on Studying to Bring Glory to the Country

Wang Zhaozhao originally had parents. One day, her mother became her paternal aunt, and her father married a stepmother. Later, she gained two more younger sisters: one born to her paternal aunt, a...

Chapter 36: Pit Brother

Wang Dahai's family became famous in Hebian Village again because, when Xie Ailian was bragging, she also said that Wang Fangbing had also enrolled his two sons, which means that their family now has three children who are studying!

Fire is fire, and the three students are not at all arrogant.

Wang Xuewu went to graze cattle in the afternoon, so Wang Zhaozhao went up the mountain with him carrying a bamboo basket, and Wang Xuewen simply went with him to collect firewood.

After entering the mountains, Wang Xuewu let the cows graze on their own. He didn't rush to cut the thatch and just sat down on the lawn.

"Ah...sister, you are cheating me."

Why did he suddenly change from a cowherd to a scholar?

Wang Zhaozhao chuckled, "Second brother, how could I possibly trick you? Studying is so much better."

"I'm going to study, what should I do with the cow?" Wang Xuewu looked melancholy.

"...Studying won't interfere with your cattle-herding. School doesn't start until 8 o'clock. You can get up early to herd the cattle, and then go to school. That way you won't be late."

Wang Zhaozhao helps Wang Xuewu with ideas. Although this is a little tiring, it does not interfere with either of them.

Wang Xuewu's eyes lit up. It was a good idea. "I just don't know if the brigade headquarters agrees."

"Why shouldn't I agree? My second brother is so hardworking and studious." Wang Zhaozhao said with a smile.

right!

Wang Xuewu jumped up and asked Wang Zhaozhao to rest for a while while he cut a load of straw and then help to cut grass for the pigs.

Wang Xuewen shook his head at Wang Xuewu and said to Wang Zhaozhao, "You're quite a carer."

"Brother, do you also need some guidance?" Wang Zhaozhao asked with a smile.

"No...you'd better use it. I was too shy to study in the first grade because of my age, but you skipped directly to the third grade. My heart is broken." Wang Xuewen really regretted it.

In the morning, his father was twisting hemp ropes, and he was helping to scrape the straw raincoat. They were busy with their work when his father suddenly said, "Why don't you two brothers go to school too? It won't do any harm to read as much as you can."

He neither agreed nor objected, and then his father went back to the house to discuss and get the money.

Alas, his brother was carried there after all, but he actually followed him on his own.

This makes him feel regretful and embarrassed now.

"Hmph..." Wang Zhaozhao smiled awkwardly. The fact of skipping a grade was quite unexpected. However, "Why should I care about it? The food we eat, the roads we walk, and the knowledge we learn are all ours. Why should I care what others think?"

"I understand the logic, but I feel a little uncomfortable."

"How about... Big Brother, if you work hard, you can skip two grades next semester?"

“…”

Wang Xuewen stood up decisively, patted his butt and left.

Wang Zhaozhao scratched his head and smiled. Oh, she was really good at counseling people. Look at her two cousins, they are both full of energy after being counseled by her.

She shook her head happily, picked up the bamboo basket, and found a direction to collect grass for the pigs.

By the way, she remembered that there was still a reward that she hadn't claimed.

Her consciousness entered the system space and she found a gold coin and an intelligence point in her 'backpack'.

"How do I use intelligence points? Are they the same series of skills that you said I could exchange for gold coins that day?" she asked.

“That’s the physical aspect, and what you accomplished today is related to learning.

Intelligence points, as the name suggests, are about intelligence and can be used to improve IQ, or even specific aspects such as memory, concentration, thinking ability, learning ability, adaptability, etc.

"So I can improve my intelligence and become a top student by completing the tasks issued by the system?"

"Yes, I need to point out that the academic master development branch system will test your learning status... Again, the system will issue tasks and provide rewards based on the host's situation."

“…”So awesome.

"Also, just like gold coins can be exchanged for physical skill points, the reverse exchange is also possible, but the ratio is different. One skill point is only worth fifty gold coins."

"You really know how to do business."

Wang Zhaozhao said with a hum.

Helping others will earn you sincere gratitude and gold coins as rewards. When you accumulate 100 gold coins, you can redeem them for skill points to enhance your physical fitness.

Completing the tasks posted will reward you with intelligence points, which can increase your IQ.

Very good! She will become a person who is both civil and military.

Hahahahahaha…

Wang Zhaozhao analyzed it and thought it was a good thing for him. He put his hands on his hips, raised his head and laughed out loud.

Wang Xingwen and Wang Xingwu were startled and quickly ran over to ask her what was wrong.

"Ahem!" Wang Zhaozhao coughed dryly. "Well... I suddenly thought of skipping a grade. It would save me two years of tuition. I'm so happy."

“……!”

Wang Zhaozhao finally chose to add intelligence points to thinking ability.

She analyzed it herself and felt that her memory was okay, her adaptability and hands-on skills were good, and her learning ability was sufficient. She would ignore these things for now. Next time when she had the intelligence points, she would work on her concentration.

When the three siblings met Chen Ergou on the way back, Wang Zhaozhao rolled his eyes when he saw him leaning aside to make way.

This guy was probably trying to block her again, right? He got scared when he saw her two cousins ​​were there.

The next morning, Wang Zhaozhao got up when the rooster crowed for the second time. It was still dark outside. She planned to wash up and go get a basket of pig grass before going to school.

"What are you doing? Who are you doing this for? Even if you're told to go to school, you can't miss the chance to gather grass for the pigs. Do you have to get up before dawn and gather a basket of grass in the dark before you can go to school?"

Xie Ailian appeared out of nowhere and said unhappily, snatching Wang Zhaozhao's basket away.

Wang Zhaozhao: “……!”

Well! Her grandmother has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

"Grandma, school starts at 8 o'clock. I'll be back at 7 o'clock, pack up and go out. I can get to school in half an hour, which is plenty of time."

She didn't want to do it to show off to anyone, she just felt that there was still time, so wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

"You silly girl, your mother has already boasted that you won't have to pay tuition next semester. If you don't study hard in the second half of the year and don't get first place in the exam, don't try to make excuses saying you have to study and pick grass for pigs..."

Xie Ailian took a sickle and a small rice seedling hoe and put them into the bamboo basket while warning Wang Zhaozhao.

Wang Zhaozhao wanted to say yes, but Xie Ailian glared at her as she opened her mouth. "Don't worry about picking grass for the pigs in the future. Stop peeing and just study hard. I'll punish you if I see you next semester because you won't be exempted from tuition."

He took out a small key and put it into Wang Zhaozhao's hand, "Get some rice and light the fire. It shouldn't take too long to make some porridge on the stove."

After he finished talking to himself, he went out with the basket on his back.

Wang Zhaozhao stood there, watching her back as she walked away in the dim light, then looked down at the key in his hand, pursed his lips, and laughed softly.

She turned and went to the kitchen. A gust of wind blew past, and she shrank unconsciously. Hiss...

The morning breeze is so cool.

My eyes feel a little hot.
