Chapter 13 Self-Knowledge
"Uncle Zhao, Uncle Xun, I have something I want to ask you."
"What's the matter? Tell me."
"I want a high school diploma, what should I do?" Xue Miaoyun had limited knowledge of this era and did not dare to ask other people casually.
"High school diploma." Zhao Fengnian was stunned. Nowadays, there are very few students and teachers who actually attend classes in school. The high schools in the county can basically be said to be in name only.
"Yes, didn't Uncle Zhao say that the college entrance examination will most likely be resumed in the future? When that time comes, if you want to take the college entrance examination, you have to graduate from high school anyway."
“This…” Zhao Fengnian didn’t expect that because of what he just said, his niece would get her high school diploma. He was just joking just now, just to comfort himself. If the college entrance examination is not resumed, Miaoyun will be disappointed.
Xun Jinnian thought it was a good idea. Even without the college entrance examination, it would be easier for high school graduates to find jobs than junior high school students. And everything else can be taken away, but knowledge cannot.
"It's a good idea. Educational qualifications don't represent everything, but sometimes that's all that matters."
"Yes, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared." Xue Miaoyun nodded: "And even in the marriage market, academic qualifications are a condition that people look up to."
Zhao Fengnian also nodded, "If that's the case, let's think of a solution."
"This is not difficult. I know the principal of the county high school. He is a student of a professor in the school. There are not many students in the school now, and most of them are enrolled. Adding one more person is not a problem." Xun Jinnian didn't care.
If Lihua hadn't left early, Miaoyun would have graduated from high school long ago.
Xue Miaoyun was naturally very happy to see this, and rolled her eyes: "Then can I not go to school during the weekdays, and then take the exam at the end of the semester. It's not that I don't want to go to school, but there are not many teachers in the school who teach seriously. I still have to make a living, and I still have to work in the fields."
Xun Jinnian thought about it and it made sense. The work points in this team were related to the distribution of grain after the autumn harvest. The issue of food and clothing is the most basic.
"It shouldn't be a problem. Just keep your student status and take the exam. I'll go talk to the school principal in person."
"Thank you, Uncle Xun." Xue Miaoyun was very happy that all the things she was worried about were solved. I'll go to the space later to get a pound of brown sugar. When asking someone to do something for me, I'll have to give them a gift. This is a matter of human relations, and Xue Miaoyun still knows it.
Soon Xun Jinnian's injuries recovered, and he acted quickly to arrange Xue Miaoyun's academic registration. She could be enrolled in the second half of the year, and as long as she passed the graduation exam in her senior year, her diploma would be issued.
Xue Miaoyun collected a complete set of high school textbooks at a recycling station. She has one at home when she is in junior high school.
After watching it, I found that apart from some content that is characteristic of the era, there are no problems with anything else.
When Xue Miaoyun has nothing to do, she learns some knowledge of this era. For example, politics, Chinese language, etc. must keep up with the pace of the times.
The modern college entrance examination also requires learning about current affairs.
In this way, time came to autumn harvest. No matter where you are, autumn harvest is the most tiring time for farmers.
Especially when it comes to the rush to harvest, women are really treated like men and men are treated like animals.
Although Xue Miaoyun is very strong, she still suffers from back pain when bending over to work in the fields.
Fortunately, Xue Miaoyun can feed the whole family by herself, so she doesn't need to save money by farming.
After finishing her part, Xue Miaoyun can stop working. Of course, sometimes she would also help Xun Jinnian and Zhao Fengnian. But nine times out of ten you’ll be rejected.
Her appearance has also changed more, so she doesn't dare to swim in the sea often.
After visually measuring the amount of makeup she was using, she had to use less. So in the eyes of others, Xue Miaoyun's appearance is becoming more and more outstanding.
Fortunately, no one thinks there is anything wrong so far.
Everyone thought that girls change a lot when they grow up. Plus, since she no longer had to work for the Song family, she ate well and worked less, so it was normal for her to become whiter and more beautiful.
After the autumn harvest, the public grain tax was paid. The whole village has become much quieter. Everyone is very tired. Winter is coming and everyone needs to conserve their energy.
Xue Miaoyun always felt that she had forgotten something, but saving money was so much fun that she would go to the black market every half a month. Both military coats and brown sugar were very popular. There is no worry about selling at all.
Every three or four days she would go to the sea. Harvest a variety of fish that can be sold for money. There are also traces of shipwrecks.
She had never understood this in her previous life, so she could only look for a needle in a haystack. Fortunately, she is not in a hurry.
Go out quietly every night, because the sea is the same day and night anyway.
By accumulating in this way, she has saved more than a thousand yuan. There is an abundance of various fish in the space. She wanted to take it out and dry it, but there was no place for her to do so.
That day, Xue Miaoyun quietly opened the door after dark and prepared to go for a swim in the sea. Now, if she doesn't go swimming for a long time, she feels like something is missing.
Creak.
Um?
Xue Miaoyun took a step back and hid herself in the shadows.
A dark shadow came out from the Song family next door and walked towards the east.
Although it was dark, Xue Miaoyun could still recognize who that person was. Li Dacui.
After thinking about it, Xue Miaoyun followed him. The darkness had an effect on her vision, but not much. She followed along easily.
Li Dacui was seen sneaking to a dilapidated house at the outermost part of the village.
It seems that every village has one or two haunted abandoned houses or ruined temples.
Xue Miaoyun knew that this was a house owned by a landlord before the founding of the People's Republic of China. During the war, the entire landlord's family was wiped out by someone unknown. Even the babies in the house were not spared. So it was only natural that this place became a haunted house. People in the village were saying all kinds of things, including that a baby was crying at night and that no one who went in ever came out.
Anyway, the naughtiest kids in the village won’t come here.
So what is Li Dacui doing here?
Xue Miaoyun was very interested and followed Li Dacui more carefully. She was seen cautiously coming to a half-collapsed yard. I was squatting in a corner, doing something unknown, and then I saw Li Dacui lifting up something.
Then her upper body disappeared into the ground. After a long while, Li Dacui stood up, put something in her pocket, and then put the opened thing back. He covered it with something else, looked around for a while, and left.
Xue Miaoyun's first reaction was money. Li Dacui hid the money here.
Out of curiosity, Xue Miaoyun waited until Li Dacui left completely and then quietly stepped forward.
