Afterwards, Wenxi returned to her room, pulled out her luggage bag from under the bed, and found the textbooks she had brought with her. She didn't know what she was thinking when she packed her luggage, but she actually brought all her junior high and high school textbooks. She was probably afraid that she would forget the knowledge she had learned in the busy farm work.
If she had known that she could access the sign-in system and sign out math, physics, and chemistry study books, as well as all textbooks from first grade to high school, she wouldn't have brought those books with her. Although each book isn't heavy, the textbooks for two years of junior high and two years of high school are still quite heavy.
Wenxi didn't know if Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Huihui had ever been to school, so she took out their elementary school textbooks. She decided to teach them first-grade courses first, and then adjust the pace of instruction based on their learning efficiency. After all, the college entrance examination would be reinstated in just a few years, and she would need several years to teach them all the courses from elementary to high school. So the pace really had to be accelerated, otherwise it might be too late.
Before 7 p.m., Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Huihui arrived. Their houses were close by, separated only by an alley only a meter or two wide. Neither of them brought a flashlight.
After they arrived, Wenxi didn't waste any time. Instead, she took out her first-grade elementary school textbooks for Chinese and math and started teaching them directly, one hour for each subject, so that two hours a day would be enough.
It's almost Chinese New Year now, and since there's not much to do, I can get up a little later in the morning. There's no need to get up as early as I do every day when I'm working.
After class, Wen Xi said to Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Huihui, "Yuanyuan, Huihui, when you have free time during the day, remember to review the content of the class. If you are efficient learners, I will speed up the pace of the class so that you can become cultured people as quickly as possible and no longer have to envy others."
"Thank you, Sister Xiaoxi." Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Huihui thanked Wenxi repeatedly. They naturally knew that Wenxi had no obligation to teach them to read and write, but Wenxi had a good relationship with their family and did not want to see them become illiterate!
After Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Huihui returned, Wen Xi also went back to her room to rest. She had already washed up before Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Huihui arrived, so she didn't need to waste time washing up again.
In the days that followed, Wenxi would go up the mountain alone almost every morning at five or six o'clock to collect the fish, and then bring back a basket of wild vegetables. In the afternoon, she would go to the rice paddies to catch rice paddy fish, and in the evening, she would teach Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Huihui. Her days were very fulfilling.
Soon it was time for the brigade to slaughter the pig for the New Year. Before dawn, the villagers were already busy preparing. The frigid weather did not dampen their enthusiasm at all. The threshing ground was bustling with activity and steam.
Wen Xi didn't return from the mountain until noon before heading to the threshing ground with Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue. Although they couldn't get meat, they could buy some with their money.
In those days of food and clothing shortages, people were lucky if they could eat meat three times a year. To eat meat, you needed money and meat coupons. You could buy some meat with money to satisfy your cravings, but the most important thing was that they didn't have meat coupons, so they couldn't buy meat even if they wanted to. But slaughtering the New Year's pig could be done with work points, without spending money, so naturally everyone looked forward to slaughtering the New Year's pig at the end of the year.
The people standing on the threshing ground waiting to receive their share of pork all had bright smiles on their faces.
When Wenxi and her two friends arrived, the meat hadn't been divided yet because the pork hadn't been processed. After the butcher had divided all the pork into pieces, everyone lined up to choose their pork, while the aunties on the other side were busily preparing the pork stew.
After all, there are only two pigs and two sets of offal, which isn't enough to share among everyone. So it's better to cook them all, add some radishes and potatoes as side dishes, and make two big pots so that everyone can enjoy a hot and delicious pig stew.
The stew cooked in a large pot tastes delicious, and it will be a dish that the older generation will never forget.
Wenxi and her four friends had just arrived and hadn't been served yet, so they didn't have to queue. Instead, they stood aside and watched. Wenxi was a good cook; she could turn anything into a delicious dish. So, Wenxi didn't care what was left over. If there was nothing left, she could just go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some.
She gets up very early every morning anyway, and if she goes to the supply and marketing cooperative early, she's sure she can buy meat.
Today we're slaughtering the pig for the New Year, and Nie Xiulan didn't come over. I guess she's afraid people will laugh at her for marrying a country bumpkin!
Liang Zhaodi did arrive, standing next to Lu Xiaoyun. She proudly looked around, asserting her dominance and hoping that the other young women and wives would stop coveting Lu Xiaoyun. After all, Lu Xiaoyun and she were already married. If anyone else tried to cheat on her, they shouldn't blame her for dealing with them.
Lu Xiaoyun is handsome and well-dressed, clearly from a well-off family. Countless women are interested in him and want to marry him.
Unexpectedly, he chose the plain-looking Liang Zhaodi, infuriating his admirers. If looks could kill, Liang Zhaodi would have been dead countless times over.
As everyone knows, Lu Xiaoyun has already gotten his marriage certificate, so they can no longer keep thinking about him, otherwise they might make a mistake and implicate their families. Therefore, they turned their attention to the remaining men.
Among the older educated youth, there are Xia Minglei, Wu Guoqiang, Li Wei, Jiang Mo, Cheng Yu, and Gu Xiangbei; among the newer educated youth, there are Song Lan and Zhou Bai. With so many eligible male educated youths to choose from, they have no need to focus their attention on the married Lu Xiaoyun.
After that, everyone noticed more attention on them, but they didn't take it seriously. They wouldn't flirt with female comrades like Zhu Jiawen and Lu Xiaoyun, and naturally, they wouldn't give others the opportunity to scheme against them.
Xia Minglei glanced at Lin Yiwan, who was standing with her brother, and then at Wen Xi, who was standing in the new educated youth area. Both of them were very beautiful, each with their own unique charm, and it was hard to say who was more beautiful.
Xia Minglei hesitated for a moment before walking towards Wen Xi. Lin Yiwan had too many brothers, so pursuing her would definitely come at a high price, and with so many obstacles, it wouldn't be easy. But Wen Xi was different. No matter how clever she was, she was still just a young girl, all alone in the countryside. If someone treated her well and warmed her heart, she would definitely fall for him quickly and become devoted to him.
Lu Xiaoyun is now married, so he can no longer pursue Wen Xi. Since he has never expressed his feelings to Lin Yiwan, he can naturally pursue Wen Xi, and Lin Yiwan has no right to stop him.
