An earthquake caused Jiang Shanshan's originally well-off family of three to transmigrate to the impoverished 1970s.
On the left was their son crying for food in her arms, and on the righ...
Seeing that his biological mother was not too stupid, Niu Weilong showed a satisfied smile on his pointed face.
"Mom, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and call Dad and ask him to go to my second uncle's house with you to get this formal job back for me. Whether my son can become a city dweller this time depends on you." Niu Weilong coaxed Niu Dasheng's wife sweetly.
Niu Dasheng's wife nodded vigorously and ran out immediately.
Thinking that he was about to become a city dweller, Niu Weilong turned and went into the house, planning to find his best-looking clothes and wear them to work.
When Xu Shike returned to the village in the evening, he was surrounded by villagers, who were talking about all sorts of things.
Later, he heard from the villagers that his wife had gotten a formal job.
After chatting with the villagers for a few minutes, he quickly rode his bicycle towards home.
When he rushed home, the yard was also bustling with activity.
Niu Jiandang, Niu Jianjun and their three children were also talking about their formal jobs in the yard.
"Third sister-in-law, it turns out you can read. You are amazing. What about my younger brother? Could he also know how to read?" Niu Jianjun had just heard from his third sister-in-law that she could read.
Among those who grew up in the countryside, only the village chief's family had one or two people who could read.
Like them, they don’t even know how to write their own names, let alone recognize one or two words.
"Xu Shike can also read. Do you and your second brother like to learn to read? If so, let Xu Shike teach you some other day." Jiang Shanshan said to them politely.
Niu Jiandang and Niu Jianjun looked at each other, and this time the two brothers shook their heads at the same time.
"I won't learn." Niu Jiandang said these two words very seriously.
Niu Jianjun blushed and said the same thing, "I don't want to learn either. Learning to read is too difficult. Before the school closed, we went to the school window and listened for a while, but my brother and I couldn't understand anything. Later, we decided not to go to school at all."
Jiang Shanshan was amused by the brothers' strange thinking.
"Brother, second brother, being illiterate is really disadvantageous in this world. Look, if we could read, we could find good job opportunities, but if we can't read, it's not possible."
Niu Jiandang and Niu Jianjun looked at their children at the same time.
At this time, the three little ones were playing around the little Dudu in the stroller.
Maybe it’s because Xiao Dudu is white and chubby, everyone who has seen him, whether adults or children, likes this white and chubby boy very much.
"Third sister-in-law, you are right. Studying is very important now. When there is a chance in the future, I will definitely let Dabao go to school." Niu Jiandang nodded in agreement.
Although Niu Jianjun himself is illiterate, he has heard from his friends about the benefits of reading.
"I agree with what Big Brother said. If I can go to school in the future, I will make sure my puppy goes too."
Jiang Shanshan would frown every time he heard the name of Niu Xiaogou.
These rural people are really casual in giving names.
Nowadays, all the children in the village have names like Puppy, Little Grass, and Little Flower.
"Second brother, the name 'Puppy' doesn't sound very nice. When he goes to school in the future, you can't always call him 'Puppy'. He will be laughed at by his classmates. The child will be so sad then, don't you think?" She kindly reminded Niu Jianjun and Zhang Xiangcao.
