Chapter 5 Want to Read



Before Wang Zhaozhao's family became a laughing stock in Hebian Village, Wang Xiaomei's family was always at the top of the list, because Wang Xiaomei's mother was an educated youth, a delicate and delicate one.

At that time, the team leader was still Chen Changlin's father. The old team leader was a person who was afraid of trouble. Whether it was the educated youth site or the cowshed, they were all set up far away from their main village, so as to keep out of each other's way.

But living in a village, how can the boundary line be so clear?

Although they all shouted slogans about going to the countryside to support the educated youth in the countryside, in fact, there were many tricks and twists and turns...

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

In short, Wang Xiaomei's father, Wang Gonglai, the most honest and dull man in the village, married Song Lingmin, the most beautiful educated youth, by accident, which caused a sensation in Daling Commune at that time.

The "lively" days ended when Wang Xiaomei was three years old. Song Lingmin received a letter from home saying that there was a quota for returning to the city, so she resolutely divorced and went back to the city.

Of course, the process was not simply described in that one sentence. Song Lingmin's return to the city caused a lot of trouble.

After receiving the letter, Song Lingmin did not tell anyone in her family because if she wanted to return to the city, she would have to get a divorce and could not take her child with her.

She first tested Wang Gonglai and then coaxed him into agreeing to a divorce, but unfortunately her secret was exposed at the last moment.

Most of the women in the village are powerful, and Wang Xiaomei's grandmother Xie Xiaofeng is no exception.

As a result, there was a big fight between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and there was a lot of quarrels. In the end, Song Lingmin divorced her husband and daughter and returned to the city.

Normally, Wang Xiaomei, whose mother ran away, would have had a hard life living under the care of Xie Xiaofeng and several aunts. Fortunately, her father was not an ordinary rough man. As long as his daughter was alive, he thought she was living a good life.

Wang Gonglai worked like an ox every day to earn work points. One day, he found that his daughter ate worse than his nephews and nieces and could only eat half full. The honest and honest man, who was known far and wide, immediately smashed his bowl.

No matter what Xie Xiaofeng and his sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law said, he only insisted on one thing: no matter how hard he worked or how hard he worked, his daughter had to have enough food to eat and could not be bullied.

His threat was very real. If I didn't agree, he would not work so hard in the future. After all, earning five or six work points a day was enough for them to live on. Why should they work so hard to earn ten work points?

Therefore, Wang Xiaomei has the confidence to say that she wants to eat bamboo shoot cakes. However, sending Wang Xiaomei to school may not be that easy.

First of all, for families that have been poor for eighteen generations, studying is a waste of money and delays work.

Secondly, most of the villagers favor boys over girls. If they really want to send someone to school, they will choose one of the boys. They believe that a girl will belong to someone else's family in the future, and sending her to school will be a bargain for others.

The last and most crucial point is that Wang Gonglai’s brothers, sisters-in-law, and younger brothers and sisters-in-law had always taken advantage of the situation, but suddenly they can no longer do so. I’m afraid they will feel that they have been at a disadvantage.

How could that be possible? Impossible, absolutely impossible!

"call……"

Wang Zhaozhao exhaled and stomped hard on the fern. "Did your grandma force you to persuade your father to marry you off because he wanted to send you to school?"

"...Yeah." Wang Xiaomei hesitated and nodded.

"I won't ask you what you think. Anyway, if it were me, I would choose to study even if I had the opportunity to die." Wang Zhaozhao said seriously.

“…”

Wang Xiaomei opened her mouth, but finally just pursed her lips and smiled.

This topic ends here, and what follows is all about village gossip. When the sun is high, their bamboo baskets are full.

There were some small bamboo shoots but not many. I dug up some wild vegetables and picked some pig grass.

As they were about to return to the village, Wang Zhaozhao couldn't help but seriously tell Wang Xiaomei the benefits of reading.

"Why can Wang Douzi's father and Shi Chunmei's father be scorekeepers? Because they only graduated from elementary school."

"Uncle Zhuzi is an accountant because he's well-educated, has beautiful handwriting, and is good at accounting."

"Don't tell me you're a girl. Your third uncle's cousin and Chen Zhaodi's sister both married into the town and were given jobs by their in-laws. Your cousin only finished third grade, so she went to the supply and marketing cooperative. Chen Zhaodi's sister couldn't read a single word, so she could only work as a cook."

"Working at the supply and marketing cooperative is easy and respectable, paying 18 yuan a month. Cooking pots is dirty and tiring, but only pays 8 yuan a month."

“…”

After being reincarnated as Wang Zhaozhao, he had only been to the town a few times, so he couldn’t talk too much about it and could only use things in the village as examples.

After separating from Wang Xiaomei, Wang Zhaozhao's steps felt a little heavy.

Studying is not the only way to get out of this mountain village. She knows that policies will change and she can go out and explore as long as she dares. But she wants to study, go to school to learn knowledge, take the college entrance examination one day, and go to university.

Although I have memories and knowledge from my previous life... not to mention the upgrade size, the difference in generations is so huge.

The most important thing is that I died at the age of 20 in my previous life and didn’t even graduate from college!

"Sister Zhao, you're back. Chen Zhaodi said you tore her clothes while washing them, and her grandmother brought her home to ask us for compensation." Wang Weiguo, who was already over seven years old, suddenly ran out.

What the hell?

Wang Zhaozhao removed the grass from his head and led him home.

As expected, there were three women and an old woman sitting in the yard. The old woman was holding a piece of clothing in her hand, and Chen Zhaodi was standing next to the old woman.

Wang Zhaozhao was a little surprised that no one made a fuss.

"Oh, you're back..." Shi Haiyan spoke in a sarcastic tone as soon as she saw Wang Zhaozhao.

"Shut up!" Xie Ailian slapped Shi Haiyan on the back. "If your mouth itches, I'll heat up some hot tongs and burn it for you."

Shi Haiyan has been suffering from the fact that she has not been able to order Wang Zhaozhao to do any work for so many years, so she likes to be sarcastic to her and sometimes even complains that Wang Zhaozhao is a young lady from a big city and is too precious.

Xie Ailian had often ridiculed her. In this day and age, wouldn't that be a disaster?

Shi Haiyan pouted. She wasn't stupid, it was just that her mouth was faster than her brain.

Wang Zhaozhao calmly put down the bamboo basket, took out the pig feed first, took the bamboo basket to the well, took out the wild vegetables, then took out the axe, and finally gave the basket of remaining bamboo shoots to Wang Weiguo who was following behind.

"Weiguo, call your brother to help peel bamboo shoots."

"good."

Several people from the Chen family: “……!”

What's wrong with Wang Dahai's daughter, who's neglected by her parents? Can't she see they're here?

The most important thing is, why do they have to sit here and watch this little girl do things and speak slowly?

Chen Zhaodi was pushed and walked up to Wang Zhaozhao. "Zhaozhao, you were kind enough to help me wash my clothes, but you ruined my uncle's clothes. I, I..."

Wang Zhaozhao watched her performance quietly.

Seeing Wang Zhaozhao remained silent, Chen Zhaodi gritted her teeth and said, "Zhaozhao...you know the situation in our family..."

It seemed like she was struggling to utter the words. She lowered her head and picked at the corner of her clothes with her hands, looking sad, wronged and about to cry.
