The members of the Hebian Village Production Team are so envious of Wang Dahai and Xie Ailian that they can't even express it, but their envy always reaches its limit.
Although the canal construction is still just good news and the specific construction period has not yet been determined, everyone is enthusiastic, as if they have seen better days waving to them, and there is now more hope for the future.
Amid their high enthusiasm, they ushered in another year of double harvest.
As usual, there is a mobilization meeting, and Wang Zhaozhao will definitely join in the fun.
Feel the joy that a good harvest brings to the poor and hardworking farmers.
Like last year, the adults were having a meeting in the threshing ground while the children were playing outside.
Wang Zhaozhao still sat with Wang Xiaomei, but this year other girls came over to talk to them.
"Wang Zhaozhao, Wang Xiaomei, my parents have also agreed to send me to school." A girl said happily.
"very nice."
Wang Zhaozhao and Wang Xiaomei said in unison.
Several girls looked at her with envy. Another little girl said, "My grandma has agreed to let us go to school, but we have to study for a year first. If we don't do well, we will go home and work."
"That's great too. If you work hard, you can keep studying." Someone immediately comforted her enviously.
"...I don't have that confidence, but I'm happy to be able to study for a year."
"Yeah, it's always better than us."
“…”
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
After all, even if a primary school was opened in Hebian Village, and even if many people's views on studying changed, no more than half of the children in the village would be able to go to school.
The proportion of girls is even lower.
"Is the literacy class in the village still running now?" Wang Zhaozhao suddenly asked.
"It's in progress. It's become even more lively since the second half of last year," a girl told her.
"Did you attend?"
“…”
No one answered.
Wang Zhaozhao glanced at them and couldn't help but say, "Looking at the way you were just now, I thought you really wanted to study. Turns out you don't. Then what are you envious of? What are you feeling lost about?"
“We really want to study.”
A girl who looked two years older answered loudly, stiffening her neck.
Wang Zhaozhao looked at her and chuckled, "So you want to study, but you don't want to learn knowledge?"
"What do you mean? Isn't studying about gaining knowledge?" She raised her voice even louder.
Maybe he felt guilty but didn't realize it, or maybe he felt embarrassed and angry because he didn't quite understand what Wang Zhaozhao meant.
Wang Zhaozhao stared at her for a while and found that her eyes were just vague for a moment. He didn't want to avoid her and felt that he could still chat with her today.
"Studying is about learning knowledge, but if we don't have the conditions to go to school but really want to learn knowledge, don't we have to find a way? Literacy classes are already there, why don't you go?"
“The literacy classes are all taught by adults…”
"Literacy classes are for eradicating illiteracy. Illiteracy has no age limit. An 80-year-old who can't read is illiterate. 60-year-olds, 50-year-olds, 40-year-olds, 30-year-olds... who can't read are all illiterate. So aren't we, the teenagers, illiterate?"
“…”
The man fell silent, and so did the others. Some of them even felt nervous and at a loss.
"Zhao Zhao is right. In the past, Zhao Zhao often went to literacy classes." Wang Xiaomei spoke to break the silence.
"We don't have Wang Zhaozhao's brains."
“…”
have to!
Seeing them like that, Wang Zhaozhao licked his lips in annoyance and pulled Wang Xiaomei, saying, "Stop talking, it's boring."
She didn't mean to preach, but she had come to the point where the words were long and her tone became aggressive.
The scene fell silent again.
Wang Zhaozhao was only silent on the surface, but he was actually complaining to the system, but it was impossible for him to get comfort from the system.
I can only be angry.
Finally, there was applause from the threshing ground and the meeting was adjourned.
We walked home while chatting, and when we got home we went to bed early without much delay.
Recharge your energy so that you can work better tomorrow.
The double harvest depends on the weather. The harvested rice must have good sunshine and be dried in one go, otherwise it will go bad and sprout. Such waste is more painful than cutting our flesh with a blunt knife.
At 4:30 in the morning, the sound of gongs and whistles was heard in Hebian Village. Wang Zhaozhao woke up and found that Wang Dahai and Xie Ailian were already in the yard.
The people in the other rooms also got up. After a while, they could be heard leaving and then the gate was closed.
"ah……"
Wang Zhaozhao yawned and hesitated whether to get up.
"Host, there is no need." The system's voice sounded in his mind.
"I can't sleep anyway, so I'm going to the library to read for a while..."
Um?
Wang Zhaozhao had a question mark face. The system actually threw her out of the system space?
Looking again, there were a few large words on the system space display wall: System Upgrading...
Wang Zhaozhao was speechless. It was so sudden and unexpected.
The system upgrade is unavailable, I can’t study, it’s still dark, what else can I do besides sleeping?
When I woke up again, it was already six o'clock.
Wang Zhaozhao turned over and got up, went out to the yard, and found that Wang Xingwen was already washing his face by the well.
"Zhao Zhao, these days, I go to help in the morning and afternoon." Wang Xingwen helped her get a bucket of water.
"Okay, I'll go pick up the rice ears too."
"Don't go. The sun is too strong. There are so many children in the village. They have to fight to pick up a few rice ears..."
Wang Xingwen felt that this was too unprofitable for Wang Zhaozhao.
Wang Zhaozhao thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll see when the time comes."
During the more than ten days of double harvest, I have to go a few times. It’s not because I’m afraid of what others say, but the important thing is to participate.
It was like this before.
It was almost eight o'clock, so Wang Zhaozhao went to the kitchen, lit the fire, washed the rice, and cooked it.
After rummaging around, I found the jar of oil residue, which was still one-third full.
After thinking about it, I quickly made a decision.
Stir-frying pickled radish with oil residue is salty and spicy, and goes well with rice. Oil residue is high in oil, so it can help you resist hunger.
The most important thing is that you don’t even need to cut the vegetables. Just stir-fry them in some oil and add some dried chili powder.
She prepared the dishes, the rice was boiling on the stove, and she added some firewood.
When cooking in an iron pot, she dared not be distracted at this stage, for fear that the bottom would be burnt.
Stare at the time on the system space wall, and when five minutes are up, quickly take the pot out of the pot.
Put the iron wok on top, add a spoonful of water, add more firewood and turn the fire up high. After washing the wok, start cooking...
From today until the end of the double harvest, she will be responsible for this kitchen for more than ten days.
