However, the start of school does not mean that everything will be back on track. The original owner has seen more than once that teachers who were teaching well in the previous class were suddenly taken away in the next class, and he has also seen good classmates lose their families overnight.
The school bulletin board was covered in bright black words on red paper. If you posted one, someone would be taken away the next day.
From then on, the teachers at school stopped teaching them knowledge properly. Apart from reading the contents of the book, they refused to say anything else.
Old Mrs. Tian was worried about the original owner studying in the county town. The original owner didn't learn much in school and didn't want to continue studying. After graduating from junior high school, she went home.
"Mom! Just let me go to school. I will definitely not say anything and do anything at school. I will definitely control my mouth and not let them catch me." Tian Tian begged, hugging Lin Meiyu's arm.
Tian Tian doesn’t expect to learn anything in school now. She mainly wants to get a high school diploma so that she can take the college entrance examination when it is open.
Lin Meiyu was a little hesitant. After thinking it over again and again, she took Tian Tian's hand and said, "Tiantian, Mom knows what kind of person you are. You are sensible in what you say and do. But some people won't let you go just because you haven't done anything wrong. What if someone is jealous of you and accuses you of a crime? Even if you explain clearly, they won't believe you."
Tian Tian felt a little depressed after hearing this, but she knew that what Lin Meiyu said made sense.
Moreover, human hearts are unpredictable. Who knows if someone will write a letter to report Tian Tian just because they can't stand her.
People nowadays won’t listen to reason. Once they receive a report, they won’t bother to verify it. Once they target you, they will bite off a piece of your flesh.
"Yes, Tiantian, it's not that your parents don't pay for your studies, it's just that the world has been too chaotic in the past two years. You are the only daughter in our Tian family, and we definitely don't want you to get into trouble."
"Look at those people in the cowshed in our village. They are more capable than us ordinary people, right? But in the end, they still fell into trouble and lived worse than us ordinary people." Tian Lisong on the side also agreed with Li Meiyu's decision.
Tian Tian nodded sullenly and said listlessly, "I understand, Mom and Dad."
Tian Lisong felt a little distressed when he saw Tiantian like this, "It's not that your parents don't want to pay for your education, but there is really no other way now. Wait until the world is more stable in a few years, and then you can go to high school. Dad will definitely support you."
Although Tian Tian was a little disappointed that she could not go to school next year, she was still a little happy to hear that her parents supported her studies so much.
Tian Tian was not opposed to waiting two years before going to school. Her main purpose was to take the college entrance examination. Two years later would be 1973, plus two years of high school, so she would graduate in 1975. After waiting another year, she could take the college entrance examination. Thinking of this, Tian Tian felt a little excited.
Tian Tian was a little hesitant despite her excitement. "But mom and dad, in two years, Tian Baobao and Xiao Zhuo will also go to school. If I go to school again, can my family afford to support three people?"
The children of the Tian family have always been sent to study. This is the rule set when old man Tian was still alive. No matter whether the children of the Tian family are boys or girls, they must at least finish elementary school.
Tian Baobao is seven years old this year, so he will have to be sent to primary school next year. In two years, Tian Zhuo will be old enough to go to school, so he will definitely be sent there as well.
If Tian Tian goes to study in the county town again, plus the cost of food and accommodation, it will be a considerable burden for the Tian family.
"You don't have to worry about that! If our family can't afford the money, your parents still have some money and will definitely be able to support you to finish two years of high school." Tian Lisong saw that Tian Tian looked like a worried old man, and comforted her with a smile.
The Tian family was different from other families. The work points earned by the brothers were all counted together. In their old Tian family, except for the work points earned from farming, the rest of the work points and money earned by their own abilities were kept by the family.
For example, the work points that Tian Lisong earned as an accountant would be calculated separately by Old Lady Tian and converted into money for Lin Meiyu at the end of each year.
Tian Lilin kept all the money he earned from carpentry work in his own hands.
In addition, the money for their children's education was all paid by Old Mrs. Tian, and the only money they spent throughout the year was on needles and thread, so the two brothers actually saved a lot of money.
Anyway, Tian Lisong has enough money to support Tiantian's studies.
Seeing that Tian Lisong didn't seem to be bragging, and that Lin Meiyu next to him didn't look strange either, Tian Tian breathed a sigh of relief and became very happy.
"Then Mom and Dad, I'll go back to sleep!" Tian Tian said with a smile, jumping up and down to go out.
"Wait a minute! My dear girl, help dad pour the foot washing water." Tian Lisong called his daughter and unceremoniously ordered Tian Tian to help him pour the foot washing water.
Tian Tian stopped, turned around and smiled sweetly at Tian Lisong, then picked up Tian Lisong's foot-washing water, "Dad! Mom! Good night!"
Tian Tian went out and poured the foot washing water into the yard, then poured some water into the water tank and rinsed the foot basin clean before returning to the house.
After returning to the house, Tian Tian was still a little excited. Although she didn't know when she could go to high school, Tian Tian had already started to fantasize about high school life.
When she was in high school in her previous life, she had to worry about her tuition every day. She also received poverty subsidies, but they were only one thousand yuan a year. Even if her teacher waived some of her tuition and miscellaneous fees, the money was not enough for her to spend.
She had to find time to work and study in her already busy study life, so she had no energy to enjoy high school life.
Now she doesn't have to worry about tuition fees or whether she can have enough to eat the next day, so she can enjoy her high school life.
If it really doesn't work, isn't there still so much stuff inside the shell? There are some grains in the shell, such as small grains, large grains, and soybeans. Now she can eat fresh grains, and she can sell these grains that have been stored for who knows how long on the black market.
Aren't rice and flour very precious now? She can keep two bags for herself, and the rest should be enough for her to spend if she sells them.
However, this matter is still far away. Going to the black market to sell grain is just her thought. If she really wants to sell it, she may not have the courage.
Tian Tian dug out a chicken claw from the snail shell. There were only four slices of snake meat in the bowl of snake soup that night, and the rest was soup, which was gone after a trip to the toilet. Now her stomach was growling with hunger.
