Chapter 10: Passers-by in the Seventies 2

In this group where almost every household favors boys over girls, Zhou Baoer is unique and special.

Their family values ​​girls over boys.

Zhou Baoer is the only girl in her family.

Zhou Baoer can eat two eggs every day and gets new clothes every Chinese New Year.

In their home, Zhou Baoer doesn't have to do anything but sit and wait for dinner.

Zhou Baoer's family also sent her to school.

The Zhou family has many male members who are good at work. Zhou Baoer's uncle and elder brother have joined the army and send money home every year. The Zhou family's financial conditions are among the best in the brigade.

Therefore, all the children of the Zhou family can go to school and at least finish junior high school.

There is no girl in the team who does not envy Zhou Baoer.

Ke Xiaoxia was also envious.

The heroine of the group pet article, who wouldn’t be envious of her.

Perhaps because of the example of Zhou Baoer's family, even though there were families in their brigade that favored boys over girls, they did not treat their daughters too harshly.

However, they would tell the girls in their families not to learn from Zhou Baoer.

She said that if she did nothing, she would definitely be looked down upon when she got to her husband's family.

Whenever Ke Xiaoxia heard this, she would just let it go in one ear and out the other.

After all, that kind of situation would never happen to Zhou Baoer.

Even if ordinary people are good at doing housework, they may still be disliked.

Just like her grandmother, she also dislikes these three daughters-in-law.

When Ke Xiaoxia returned home, her aunt was cooking. It was her turn to cook today.

Seeing Ke Xiaoxia, the aunt instructed: "Xiaoqiu is washing clothes by the river, you go and wash with her."

Xiaoqiu is the youngest daughter of my uncle.

Ke Xiaoxia said "Oh", put down the basket full of wild vegetables and went out.

She didn't go to find Xiaoqiu, nor did she plan to wash clothes with her.

Although we are a big family, some things still need to be sorted out.

My mother in this life is a picky and strong-willed person.

She taught Ke Xiaoxia since she was young: "We are allowed to take advantage of others, but we cannot let others take advantage of us."

Under this kind of education, Ke Xiaoxia perfectly learned to pretend to obey while secretly disobeying.

I am not good at rejecting people. After all, it is brought over from the previous world and has been fixed, and it is not easy to change.

But if she really helped her aunt with work because she couldn't say no, her mother would nag her for several days and occasionally bring up old grudges.

Ke Xiaoxia didn't really like helping others, so in the end she just pretended to obey.

This way, my aunt won't be in a particularly embarrassing situation.

She doesn't have to help others with work, and she won't be nagged by her mother. How great is that.

Ke Xiaoxia's task today was to dig wild vegetables, and she has completed it.

With nothing else to do, Ke Xiaoxia found a shady place and wrote with a wooden stick.

Even if she is not allowed to go to school, she must show that she is diligent and studious.

Ke Xiaoxia wants to go to college and choose her own marriage partner.

So she has to work on this.

Try hard to show it to others.

Unfortunately, there are only a limited number of families in the brigade who send their children to school.

Even if they go to school, at most they can only go to elementary school.

There are even fewer in junior high and high school.

Only Zhou Baoer's family has two children who go to high school, and Zhou Baoer may also go to high school next year.

The more Ke Xiaoxia thought about it, the more difficult the road ahead seemed to her.

Thanks to her own efforts, she was considered by others to be able to read and write, which was better than most people who could only write their own names, but that was all she could do.

She didn't even have the chance to touch the textbook.

Ke Xiaoxia had thought about whether or not to establish a good relationship with Zhou Baoer.

Even if not for anything else, you can look at Zhou Baoer's textbooks and study with her.

Unfortunately, this plan was dashed before she could try to get close to Zhou Baoer.

The reason lies in Ke Xiaoqiu.

Ke Xiaoqiu and Ke Xiaoxia were born in the same year, but one in June and the other in October.

Ke Xiaoqiu is not like Ke Xiaoxia. He still has memories and is just a pure child.

Seeing that Zhou Baoer had a lot of new and interesting toys and candies in her hands, she wanted to play with Zhou Baoer. It would be great if Zhou Baoer could let her lick the candies.

With this thought in mind, Ke Xiaoqiu approached Zhou Baoer.

They played for a long time, and Ke Xiaoqiu got a whole candy, but also a beating.

He was really rude and hit me with a feather duster.

Ke Xiaoxia still feels pain when she thinks about it.

Although it was the aunt who hit the child, Ke's mother also warned Ke Xiaoxia not to learn from Zhou Baoer, let alone play with her.

Grandma Ke even warned everyone, and specifically mentioned Ke Xiaoxia who was working hard to learn knowledge.

Grandma Ke said, "I don't care if you want to learn, but it's impossible for her to go to school. Our family doesn't have the money. Look at the whole brigade. Who pampers their daughter like the Zhou family?"

Zhou Baoer is indeed the envy of all the girls in the team.

But at the same time, she also lacked playmates with girls of the same age.

Of course Zhou Baoer has friends, but her friends are not from their team.

They would meet at a distant university.

"sister!"

Ke Xiaohe's voice interrupted Ke Xiaoxia's wandering thoughts.

She looked up and saw Ke Xiaohe was already in front of her.

Ke Xiaohe chuckled and stretched out his hand towards Ke Xiaoxia.

It's a candy.

Ke Xiaoxia frowned: "Where did you get the candy?"
