Deng Shirong was reborn, waking up in the summer of 1980.
In his past life, he had foolishly trusted a matchmaker’s words, only to see his children’s marriages turn into disasters. His tw...
Chapter 95 The youngest daughter returns to school
On this day, after dinner, Deng Shirong and his children sat under a longan tree and chatted.
After asking about his three sons' homework, Deng Shirong looked at his youngest daughter and asked, "Azhu, do you still want to study?"
Whether now or in the future, the rural areas in Bobai County have the idea of favoring sons over daughters, so many families have completely different attitudes towards sons and daughters. For example, when it comes to children's education, many families only send their sons to school. As for daughters, some families send them and some do not. Only a very small number of families really attach importance to their daughters' education.
Relatively speaking, Deng Shirong was relatively fair in treating his children. In his previous life, he allowed all of his seven children to go to school. As for whether they could continue their studies or not, that was another matter. Anyway, as long as they wanted to study, he would pay the tuition for them, whether they were sons or daughters.
However, the education level of village primary schools is limited in this era, and there are not many parents in rural areas who really value education. Under the influence of this environment, not everyone is willing to go to school. The most typical example is his youngest daughter. Due to poor academic performance, she is unwilling to continue studying after finishing primary school.
In this regard, Deng Shirong in his previous life just gave a few words of advice, and when he saw that his little daughter really couldn't continue studying, he let her go.
However, Deng Shirong, who was reborn, knew that people in later generations attached great importance to academic qualifications. Without a decent academic qualification, one could only do the lowest-level jobs in society. Other easy and high-paying jobs were not available to people with low academic qualifications.
Of course, he was reborn in this life, and his children were destined to live a wealthy life with no worries about food and clothing. The level of education they had was actually not that important. This was also the main reason why he did not force his youngest daughter to go to school before.
After all, learning is only useful if you are willing to learn it.
But today he suddenly thought of something. When he looks for partners for his two daughters in the future, he will definitely not choose the illiterate man who can't even read a few words. He doesn't require the man to have a high level of education, but he must at least be a high school student.
As a result, although his eldest daughter's junior high school education was a little low, it was normal for boys to study more than girls in this era, and it was not bad for a junior high school student to be paired with a high school student.
However, his daughter's elementary school education was not good enough. He couldn't ask the man to be at least a high school student, and his daughter was only an elementary school student, right? So, Deng Shirong thought about persuading his daughter to go back to school. He didn't ask her to go to college in the future, but at least she had to go to high school, right? At the very least, she had to finish junior high school, which was considered a good education in this era.
Deng Yunzhu didn't expect her father to ask her this question. She immediately shook her head and said, "Dad, I don't want to study anymore. I just can't concentrate on it."
Deng Shirong persuaded her, "Azhu, I know you don't do well in school and you don't have much interest in studying, but you only have a primary school education. Although you are better than most girls in the village, you can only compare with the villagers. Girls in the city don't have such education.
Dad was thinking of looking for a good partner for you in the city when you grow up, but your elementary school education is really not good enough.
If you only want to marry an uneducated countryman, then Dad won't say much, but if you want to marry an outstanding young man from the city, then you must go back to school and study for a few more years. Otherwise, which outstanding young man in the city would be interested in you, a country girl with no looks and no education?"
"Uh..." Although Deng Yunzhu didn't want to study, she felt that what her father said made sense, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Deng Yunzhen also helped persuade her, "Azhu, Dad is right. There are so many girls in the village who want to go to school, but their parents don't agree. Now Dad wants you to study more, and it's really for your own good. Don't miss this opportunity."
Deng Yuntai also said: "You should read more books. Your sister-in-law didn't read much. When she comes to our house, I plan to teach her to read more books!"
Deng Yunzhu certainly understood that reading more books is a good thing, but she felt overwhelmed when she thought about the things in the textbooks. She couldn't help but frown and said: "I also want to read more books, but what should I do if I can't read?"
Deng Shirong said, "Try to learn as much as you can. For example, if you can't get into math, then you can study Chinese. If you can't get into Chinese, you can study history or geography. In short, learn more about culture and get a junior high school diploma. If possible, get a high school diploma. This will be good for your future life."
Since her father had said so much, Deng Yunzhu couldn't find any reason to refuse, so she gritted her teeth and agreed to the offer, saying, "Okay, I'll go, but I can't guarantee how my grades will be!"
Deng Shirong still implemented his simple and crude monetary reward method and said, "Tomorrow I will go to school to say hello to the teacher and let you continue to study in the fifth grade. My request to you is very simple. As long as you pass all the midterm and final exams, I will reward you with five yuan of pocket money.
As for whether you can get this pocket money, it depends on whether you are willing to work hard! "
Deng Yunzhu's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said in surprise, "Dad, are you serious?" If her father's requirements were the same as those of her second brother and three younger brothers, then she would definitely have no hope. But if she just passed, then there would be hope!
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Of course it's true, as long as you pass every subject!"
Deng Yunzhu was instantly motivated by the money. She immediately stood up and said, "I'll go find my old textbooks and see how much I can remember from what the teacher taught me."
Deng Shirong smiled with relief upon seeing this. Just as he had just said, he would let his little daughter continue to study. He did not ask her to get good grades in the exams. At least as long as she could get a junior high school diploma and learn more knowledge, that would be enough.
It would be a pleasant surprise if I could still go to high school.

The next day.
Deng Shirong went to the school to say hello to the teacher, and after paying the tuition, he allowed his younger daughter to successfully enter the fifth grade as a transfer student. Going to school in that era was not as strict as it is in later generations. As long as you can pay the tuition, you can transfer to the village primary school at any time.
Although Deng Yunzhu is already fifteen years old this year, if she were still in elementary school in the future, she would probably be laughed to death by her classmates.
But in this era, children in rural areas generally start school relatively late, and many start school at the age of nine or ten. There are many children in the class who are older than Deng Yunzhu, and she is not noticeable among them at all.
That afternoon, in order to celebrate his little daughter's re-enrollment in school, Deng Shirong bought a chicken and killed it. The family had a delicious meal of boiled chicken.
