Chapter 51
Yang Zhaodi stood there in a daze, not understanding what Tang Jianshe meant.
Tang Jianshe continued, "You are married now. Your main task now is to manage your own family. You don't need to worry about your family all the time."
"Dad, what you said..." Yang Zhaodi felt a little aggrieved.
Wang Simei's heart skipped a beat, but she believed in her husband and soon understood the reason.
"What your father meant was, don't just focus on the family. You are the mother of two children now, you have to take care of yourself first."
They were not a wealthy family. If Yang Zhaodi helped her sister go to school, she would definitely not be able to take care of her own family.
This is not the responsibility of Yang Zhaodi as the elder sister, but the responsibility of Tang Jianshe and Wang Simei as parents.
"I'm not asking you to cut off contact with our family, but I just want you to stop focusing on us. I proposed a separation because I think your mother and I can continue to live together, and you don't need to worry about this."
Yang Zhaodi felt her eyes sore. She just had some thoughts in her heart, but her stepfather noticed it keenly.
She really felt that life would be very difficult after her parents separated, and she subconsciously took the responsibility on herself.
"Then you have to tell me if you have any problems in the future. I will still be a member of this family even if I get married."
Tang Jianshe: "Of course, you are marrying her off, not selling her off."
Yang Zhaodi smiled immediately. She found that her stepfather was much more cheerful and talked more than before.
Although he was nice to me before, he always did it silently and never said anything. Now it's completely different.
Although Yang Zhaodi didn't need to take care of Tang Qiaoqiao's schooling, she still left her five yuan.
"My husband's family knew we had separated, so they asked me to bring it here."
We have just separated, so we are bound to lack everything.
Although I haven't been here to see it, I don't think I'll get much.
The Zhu family just wanted to show their gratitude by asking Yang Zhaodi to bring money over.
Wang Simei was not willing to accept it at all. She was also worried that she had too many things to do at home and it would be difficult for her daughter to live in her husband's family.
But Yang Zhaodi insisted on leaving the money. The two of them pushed and shoved each other for a long time. Yang Zhaodi wanted to throw the money down and run away, but was held tightly by Wang Simei.
In the end, it was Tang Jianshe who made the final decision and kept the money.
The in-laws mean well. If you accept it now, you can return it when you have the chance in the future. There will be a give and take, and there is no need to worry about Yang Zhaodi being caught in the middle. The relationship between the two sides can even be better.
There is harmony in the big house, and everyone is full of longing and vision for their future life.
On the other side, there was chaos and no peace.
Zhao Dahua had never realized how much work Wang Simei did in a day before, but when she really took over, she realized how hard it was every day.
I wanted to cook in the morning, but I found that I didn't carry any water! The water tank was empty.
Then I have to dig grass for the pigs and cook pig food. There is no end to the work.
Not only did Tang Jianjun not help, he was also a drag, taking only a shower and changing clothes every day.
He found out that the clothes he took off yesterday were not washed, so he scolded Zhao Dahua.
Zhao Dahua was so busy that she felt dizzy. After being scolded, she also exploded. The couple started fighting early in the morning.
With his face scratched, Tang Jianjun was too embarrassed to go out for several days. He stayed at home and didn't go anywhere, not even earning work points.
This made Zhao Dahua feel guilty and angry, and she kept wiping away tears.
In the end, Tang Xingsheng took over the task of digging pig grass. As for his eldest brother Tang Xingwang, he ignored all these matters and ran away faster than anyone else.
The youngest, Tang Xingqiang, often follows them to dig pig grass and is much more reliable than his eldest brother.
But this was not his initiative. Tang Xingqiang was used to being a hands-off manager at home. He would be careful outside, but his true colors would be revealed when he got home.
It was Tang Qingqing who suggested that she preferred a scene where brothers were friendly and respectful to each other, and liked children who were sensible and hardworking. Only then did Tang Xingqiang follow Tang Xingsheng to dig pig grass.
But Tang Qingqing didn't know all this now, she went to class early in the morning.
She planned to finish learning all the elementary school knowledge this summer, consolidate it when school starts, and then start learning junior high school content.
She had gone to the commune before and borrowed junior high school textbooks.
In Zhai Hongyi's words, the course content of the two-year junior high school is not difficult, she can learn it in advance, and then take the junior high school to high school entrance examination after studying in junior high school for one year.
Zhai Hongyi is very positive about Tang Qingqing's learning ability. Tang Qingqing has a very good memory and is extremely focused.
As long as you start studying, you can turn a deaf ear to everything else outside and devote yourself to it, which makes your learning efficiency very high.
In addition to her natural talent, this is probably also due to her research on coding.
When I first started learning coding, I had no patience and concentration, so I had no chance of getting started.
Wang Heizi is not dumber than Tang Qingqing, but he learns slower than Tang Qingqing because he is smart but has very poor patience.
His butt felt like it was on fire and he could never sit still. Twenty minutes was the limit for him to sit still during class.
No matter how wonderful Zhai Hongyi's lectures were, he kept squirming around as if he had fleas on his body.
Therefore, he was not as fast as Tang Qingqing in learning. He was okay in mathematics, especially in the application questions. His brain reacted very quickly and he could do multiplication in his mind easily.
Language was his life's struggle. Not only was his handwriting horrible, but it was often missing parts, and he was almost completely lost at learning anything that required memorization.
This caused him to be seriously unbalanced in his studies. He could easily get a perfect score in math, but sometimes even failed in Chinese.
In contrast, Tang Qiaoqiao is a very ordinary child. Her concentration and memory are not as good as Tang Qingqing, and her brain is not as quick as Wang Heizi. But she is serious and hardworking. Although she does not learn fast, she is very solid and will never lose points in exams due to carelessness.
During the summer vacation, Tang Qingqing did not attend classes every day. Zhai Hongyi and Wang Heizi had to collect and sell eggs, and Tang Qingqing would be invited from time to time to track down and solve cases.
Most of the cases are thefts. As long as the report is made in time, Tang Qingqing can basically get her money back.
As a result, the Rongshan Brigade and the nearby brigades rarely have any theft cases, because everyone knows that there is a "female hero with divine eyes" here. As long as she arrives at the scene, she can tell who the thief is, leaving those thieves nowhere to hide.
Tang Qingqing's reputation spread further, and other township police stations would invite Tang Qingqing to assist in investigations when they had no clues.
This made the trio travel to many places, and while understanding the case, they learned a lot about the local things.
Every time Zhai Hongyi returns home, he will record the local characteristics, draw a simple map, and even include some relationship diagrams of people he found out during the investigation.
"Brother Yi, what's the use of recording these?" Wang Heizi asked curiously when he accidentally discovered it.
Zhai Hongyi did not avoid it, so Tang Qingqing also saw it.
"Wow, brother, how do you know so much?"
Some of the things recorded above were known to Tang Qingqing, but some were not.
Zhai Hongyi painted the entire village, and then drew little people and poultry and livestock on each house to record the conditions of the families he knew.
The number of chickens and dogs each family had was recorded.
Tang Qingqing thought she had a good memory and observation skills, but when facing Zhai Hongyi, she still felt inferior.
Isn't this too detailed?!
"I had nothing else to do, so I just wrote it down out of habit. There's nothing special about it."
Wang Heizi found it difficult to understand his special hobby, but it had to be said that after recording it, he had a clear understanding of the entire commune.
Although he remembered some things, his memory was scattered. However, after Zhai Hongyi's organization, he had a framework in his mind and it was no longer confusing.
However, Wang Heizi still felt that it was useless, so he just read it and moved on.
Tang Qingqing was inspired and felt that she should also record the details of each case and how she tracked them, so that it would be easier to refer to them later.
This will make it easier to summarize and make it easier for others to learn the code.
Tang Qingqing once asked Old Liu for his opinion on whether she could teach her coding skills to others.
Tang Qingqing's energy is limited. If she wants to solve more cases, she has to train more people.
Tang Qingqing particularly hated those criminals. She had been investigating a case before, in which a family was already in a very difficult situation and was extremely poor.
The family had only a little food, and it was stolen.
The thief was actually much richer than the family, but he saw that the victims were mostly elderly, weak, women and children, so he wanted to take advantage of them.
If Tang Qingqing hadn't caught the thief, the family would have starved to death.
There are many such petty thefts. Some people are simply bad and just want to take advantage of others without caring about their lives.
Police stations have limited staff and grassroots public security capabilities are also insufficient, and they often fail to investigate clearly and find the criminals.
Therefore, Tang Qingqing also wondered if she could teach her skills to others.
Not to say that he is almost the same as me, but at least he is more sensitive and has more tracking skills, which improves his efficiency and ability in solving cases.
Old Liu was no longer as repulsive as before. He still had a sense of justice in his heart, but he became so negative because he had suffered a great blow.
Therefore, as soon as Tang Qingqing said it, he agreed and encouraged her:
"Girl, this is your job, do it well and show everyone that you are no worse than anyone else."
When Tang Qingqing heard this, she understood what Old Liu was worried about.
He still feels resentful that her biological parents could not recognize her after she was switched, and thinks they were blind and made a mistake.
He thought that the reason he admitted his mistake was because he looked down on Tang Qingqing at that time and felt that the smart Tang Zhenzhen was more in line with his imagination of a daughter.
The more Tang Qingqing succeeded in the face of adversity, the more the couple knew who was truly outstanding, and it also laid the foundation for their future recognition.
Parental love is not necessarily selfless; sometimes it is conditional and requires return.
An excellent daughter is more popular than a mediocre or bad daughter.
Especially since there is a highly praised fake daughter at home, he cannot afford to lose.
He sneered at the imposter prodigy Tang Zhenzhen, thinking that she was far inferior to his own apprentice Tang Qingqing, and was very protective of her.
Tang Qingqing took note and decided not to try to save face. No matter what kind of feelings the couple had towards her, she had to stand up for herself so that she could deal with all kinds of situations.
This time, Tang Qingqing went to the next town to investigate a case and solved a theft case in a supply and marketing cooperative.
The loss in this case was not small. The cabinet was pried open and more than 3,000 yuan in cash and more than 2,000 yuan in goods were stolen.
If it cannot be recovered, it will be a huge loss.
After Tang Qingqing successfully solved the case, the local town government rewarded Tang Qingqing with a lot of things. Half of them were left with Old Liu, and her backpack was still bulging.
Tang Qingqing was about to go around her own door and return to her uncle's house when she was stopped by Old Lady Wu who rushed out.
When the family first separated, no one remembered Tang Qingqing, but after a while they realized something was missing -
Tang Qingqing lived next door at her uncle's house and ate there, just like any other child in that uncle's family.
If it were any other child, they would just be happy to see it, but this person is Tang Qingqing. She often brings back good things and now puts them all next door!
Zhao Dahahua then remembered that her daughter's previous house had also been divided out, so she thought of letting Tang Qingqing come back to live with her, so that she could share a room with Old Lady Wu, Tang Xingwang, and Tang Xingsheng.
Like the big house, Tang Jianjun's house also has two rooms, but these are bigger.
Tang Jianjun and Zhao Dahua slept together with Tang Xingqiang, while Old Lady Wu lived in the main house with her other two grandsons.
Their family is considered well-off in the brigade, so they have so many houses.
Many families in the brigade only had one room and one kang, with three generations of a family squeezed together.
Tang Qingqing naturally didn't want to do that and ignored her request.
"When we separated, none of you remembered me. Now it's been so long since we separated, and you just remembered me. It's too late! I was living well here, and I was stupid enough to go back."
Zhao Dahua wanted to beat someone up, but Tang Qingqing was still the same Tang Qingqing as before.
Not only did she grow taller, but she also became stronger. She often ran around outside and was no longer the little girl who knew nothing. Zhao Dahua couldn't beat her or talk her out of it.
This matter had to be abandoned because there were few opportunities to catch Tang Qingqing as she was always running around outside.
Old Mrs. Wu finally caught Tang Qingqing this time, her eyes fixed on the backpack she slung across her body.
"How long have you not been home to visit? Come home quickly! We made eggs today."
As soon as Tang Qingqing heard it, she knew that this person wanted to use an egg to cover the things he got today.
It goes without saying that Old Lady Wu has a good eye. She had passed by several times before, but Old Lady Wu had never caught her. But today, the reward was the biggest, so she caught her.
Tang Qingqing did not refuse and followed Old Lady Wu into the house.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Tang Xingsheng cutting pig grass. His movements were very skillful.
Seeing Tang Qingqing, Tang Xingsheng's expression was complicated, with a hint of grievance.
Among the three younger brothers, Tang Qingqing loves Tang Xingsheng the most.
This guy is really the most honest one in the family. Although she is treated much better than she was before at home, whenever there is a problem, he is the one to handle it.
The eldest brother Tang Xingwang did not take on any responsibility at all. At the age of thirteen, he was already an important laborer in the countryside, but he still ran around like a child all day long.
Neither Mrs. Wu nor Mr. and Mrs. Tang Jianjun thought of disciplining him.
Tang Qingqing couldn't help but mention it several times, and the people who came from the Wu family also mentioned it to Old Lady Wu, saying that it was impossible to teach the eldest son and grandson in the family like this.
But they don't take it seriously and just stick to it.
Tang Qingqing felt that if this continued, her younger brother would be abandoned and become a lazy man in the village.
Tang Xingwang was taught not to respect her since he was a child. He was beaten up because of Tang Qingqing before, so he was very hostile to Tang Qingqing.
Although Tang Xingqiang is also a spoiled child and has many problems, he will say thank you when he eats other people's food.
Tang Xingwang was different. He felt that those things were supposed to belong to him. He would only complain that they were too little and had no gratitude at all.
Tang Qingqing also lost the desire to bring him back on the right track. After all, if he was raised astray, she would not be the one to suffer in the future.
She likes to meddle in other people's business, but not in everything.
My younger brother Tang Xingqiang is still very playful. Under the guidance of Tang Qingqing, he will also lend a hand to Tang Xingsheng, but he often runs away to play while helping.
Therefore, most of the work still fell on Tang Xingsheng.
But after not seeing each other for a while, he looked much more haggard and depressed.
It's not just because I was assigned to do a lot of work, but also because of the psychological unhappiness caused by the injustice of the elders.
Tang Qingqing understands this feeling very well. She thinks that as a member of the family, it is her duty to share some of the responsibilities within her ability.
If she were at her uncle's house, she would be busy working like before and would have no complaints.
Because we are all the same, I don't mean to treat you harshly.
But if she is treated unfairly as before, she will be unhappy.
Therefore, she now just does nothing but take charge of the business, not helping at all, and of course not relying on them to survive, that's how extreme she is.
"Grandma, the new semester is about to start. Xingsheng should be in the first grade, right?"
When Tang Xingsheng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Zhao Dahua came out and said, "Study, study, what the hell is the point of studying? Our family can barely make ends meet now, what's the point of studying!"
But in just one month, Zhao Dahua had obviously aged a lot and looked even more mean.
It was obvious that she had been having a hard time during this period.
Without a hardworking sister-in-law like Wang Simei, all the pressure fell on me, and I realized how miserable it was.
If her parents' family were not unreliable, she would have run away to their home long ago.
Now hearing Tang Qingqing talking about studying, he became even more furious.
If it weren't for Tang Qiaoqiao's schooling, the family would not have split up in the first place. Now she can't see much benefit and it's just a torment to her.
Tang Qingqing ignored her and stared at Old Lady Wu.
Tang Xingsheng also looked at Grandma Wu: "Grandma, I want to go to school too."
Although Grandma Wu favors her other two grandsons more, she also loves this grandson.
Looking at my grandson's expression, I couldn't say no and was worried that he would hate me from then on.
"Xingsheng, grandma is old now and can't make decisions on many things. Our family is in this situation now... Grandma knows that you are a good child. As an older brother, you should give way to your younger brother."
Tang Xingsheng was very disappointed. He lowered his head and his hands slowed down.
"Our family is prosperous now, and other children have gone to school. He is not picked up from nowhere. This is so unfair."
Zhao Dahua: "You say it so easily, but if he goes to school, who will pay for his tuition? Who will raise the pigs at home? You are capable now, and you can eat and drink well outside all day long, so you don't see what's going on in our family.
If I had known you were such a scoundrel, I would have drowned you!"
"What nonsense are you talking about! We don't have such a thing in our family!" Old Lady Wu scolded, and then smiled at Tang Qingqing and said, "Don't listen to your mother, she has a sharp tongue but a soft heart."
Tang Qingqing did not refute, but said:
"You have raised me up, so I have to show my appreciation. If Xingsheng can study, I will not give the rewards I get next door. As long as he is studying, the promise will stand."
Zhao Dahua was immediately displeased: "Look at what you are saying. Where is your home? It is only natural for you to take it home, and you are even talking about conditions."
Tang Qingqing smiled, and her well-trained eyes looked at her with a different meaning:
“Is this really my home?”
Zhao Dahua's heart skipped a beat. "What do you mean, girl? You can't recognize someone else's home after eating their food for a few days."
Tang Qingqing just stared at him. This was something he learned from Director Zhang. When interrogating prisoners, his tone and eyes were always carefully controlled.
Zhao Dahua felt uneasy when she was stared at, as if she was seen through.
Especially since Tang Qingqing's eyes were particularly dark and her pupils were particularly large. When she stared at me like that, I felt scared for no reason.
In addition, she now has the title of "God-Eye Heroine", and everyone says that her eyes have magical powers, and it seems more and more that Tang Qingqing seems to know something.
Zhao Dahua wanted to say something, but no sound came out of her throat.
Tang Qingqing quickly retracted her gaze and said, "Anyway, you guys can do whatever you want. It's up to you whether you agree or not. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me whether Tang Xingsheng is successful or not. I can't control whether he blames you in the end."
Old Mrs. Wu had been keeping an eye on Tang Xingsheng, and was afraid that the child might have some opinions.
Tang Xingsheng's eyes were full of grievance and resentment. When the family split up before, he thought he was finally qualified to go to school, but he didn't expect that after the split, this matter was never mentioned again.
They also threw all the housework at him, and he wanted to run away several times.
But every time he ran away, he would be beaten up when he came back.
On the other hand, the eldest brother and the younger brothers, especially the eldest brother, did nothing at such an adult age, and just received a few remarks.
But as soon as grandma came out and spoke for him, the matter was over.
My younger brother Tang Xingqiang was praised a lot for doing a little bit. It's nothing like him, who was scolded or even beaten for doing the most.
He is not a fool, so he may have some thoughts in his mind.
In the past, when his elder sister worked day and night, he didn't think it was a big deal.
Now that it’s my turn, I know how painful it is.
The most tiring thing about him was not the work. What made him angry and disgusted was the discriminatory treatment of him by his elders, which often made him doubt whether he was just a nobody.
He finally understood why his elder sister always liked to say that she was not from this family. He now also felt that he was not their child.
"Big girl, how can you make an exchange like this? We are all family, it's too alienating."
"If you had taken the initiative to send Tang Xingsheng to school, I wouldn't have been so reserved. It's because I treat him as my younger brother that I want to make this deal with you. You said it yourself that I have to rely on my younger brothers to support me in the future and I have to take good care of them. Does the younger brothers you mentioned not include Tang Xingsheng?"
Who would dare to respond to such words, especially Old Lady Wu?
"You should do the math yourself. Now I don't have to pay too much to let Tang Xingsheng go to school. If I make it in the future and help him get promoted, how much can I get back?
In the commune, a temporary worker can earn at least 10 yuan a month, and that's the lowest. If it's a regular job, it'll be at least 20 yuan a month, and it's guaranteed. How much is the tuition for a semester now? And you don't need to worry about the paper and pen, I'll prepare it for him."
Zhao Dahua, who was originally very opposed, couldn't help but start to calculate the bill, and suddenly felt that the future was bright.
The villagers only save a dozen or twenty yuan a year. If they had this much money every month, even if they took half of it home, their lives would be different.
Zhao Dahua: "Can you really help him arrange a job?"
Tang Qingqing said firmly: "As long as he studies hard, he can!"
Anyway, after the opening up, there will be a lot of opportunities. If you can't get a job with the government, you can also do some small business on your own.
As long as Tang Xingsheng doesn't go astray, let Wang Heizi take him with him.
Old Lady Wu looked at Tang Xingsheng: "Xingsheng, can you study hard?"
Tang Xingsheng was very excited: "Yes! I can do it!"
Mrs. Wu finally made the decision: "Okay, Xingsheng and Xingqiang will go to school together next semester."
Zhao Dahua calmed down and couldn't help feeling worried:
"But if Xingsheng also goes to school, who will take care of the pigs at home? I can't handle it. I still have to earn work points. The three melons and two dates that Jianjun earns every day are not enough for our family's expenses."
Although raising pigs also counts as work points, she has been busy with housework these days and would rather work herself to death outside than take care of housework.
If you have to say which one is harder, Zhao Dahua feels that doing farm work is more tiring and harder, and it can make you peel off a layer of skin in the hot summer.
No matter how hard or tiring the work is, the work points are calculated clearly.
It was different at home. After a busy day, a group of old and young men came back and thought she had slept at home all day. They would complain about everything she did not do well and that she had been lazy at home doing nothing all day.
Not only is it hard work, but you may also be pissed off to death.
Anyway, she went to earn money, and the old lady took care of the household affairs herself.
Tang Qingqing: "Let aunt continue to raise him. Anyway, we will definitely get a share this year. If he gets thinner, even if we get a large share, it won't be as much as the small share given to aunt, and it will be exhausting."
Wang Simei had long been fed up with this and had always wanted to come back to look after the pigs she had raised for such a long time.
The pigsty was dirty, they didn't get enough food every day, and the food wasn't well prepared, so they had become very thin.
Tang Qingqing kept holding her back and told her not to worry.
If she had lent a hand at that time, all the work would be hers from then on. And when the work points and meat were calculated at the end of the year, Zhao Dahua would definitely take advantage of her.
Zhao Dahua was unhappy again when she heard this: "Girl, have you been planning this for a long time? You want to steal my pig!"
Tang Qingqing shrugged, "It's fine if you don't agree. After all, you're the one feeding the pigs, not me. It's not enough for Tang Xingsheng to just study. If he doesn't make any progress, it's all in vain. At most, he can dig pig grass in his spare time. If you let him be the main force and he doesn't do well in his studies or exams, I won't take responsibility."
Rural children have to help with housework at home. Tang Qingqing thinks there is nothing wrong with this, but she cannot let a half-grown child do all the heavy work.
The workload at their house is not too much. If Tang Jianjun and Tang Xingwang were a little more diligent, it wouldn't have been like this.
Tang Xingwang is now almost fourteen years old. He has been well-fed since he was young, and all the Tang family members are tall, so he is now almost 1.7 meters tall, as tall as many adults.
If he could lend a hand, he could do a lot.
Not to mention Tang Jianjun, a 1.8-meter-tall old man, who only got slightly more work points than ordinary women, not as much as those capable women.
When he got home, he just sat there and waited for dinner. When he was thirsty, he was too lazy to get up and asked others to bring him tea or water.
But she is the most picky one. Not only does she not help, but she also likes to cause trouble for others. If the house is a little dirty or her clothes are stained a little, she will ask others to clean it up.
"Why are you so troublesome, girl?" Zhao Dahua was really annoyed with her.
But people outside praise her for giving birth to a good daughter who is so smart and capable.
She didn't know what to say and could only swallow her bitterness.
I really don't know why her personality became like this. When she was a child, she was very well-behaved and obedient, and would do anything you asked her to do.
"Maybe I take after my dad."
Zhao Dahua was so angry that he fell backwards.
In the end, Zhao Dahua gave the pigs to Wang Simei to raise and went to explain the situation to the captain.
This was of course Tang Qingqing's request. Zhao Dahua wanted to fool her at first, but Tang Qingqing didn't give her any chance to take advantage of it.
Tang Xingsheng was extremely happy when he learned that he could go to school.
"Sister, I will definitely study hard!"
"Remember what you said today. Going to school is not fun. It is very hard. Although it is nice to sit in the classroom without having to work, it is also very tiring to learn well. There are two paths in front of you. Either wear straw sandals and work in the fields here, or pass the exam and go out to wear leather shoes in the city. Think about it carefully."
Tang Qingqing loves this land, but she has to admit that it is too difficult to make a living on this land.
Even in the future seen in books, rural problems have not been effectively solved. Instead, the countryside has become increasingly desolate. Many young people have gone out to work, and only the elderly and children are left in the countryside.
Migrant workers working outside the city also have a hard time, as the cities where they have worked hard all their lives do not accept them.
She didn't know how to solve the problem, so she could only ask the people around her to try to get out of it.
Sun Qin was still the teacher for grades 1, 2 and 3. Although she acted seriously for a few days before, she soon returned to her old ways.
Tang Qingqing secretly went to the next room to listen to a class and couldn't help frowning.
The way she teaches is of such poor quality that students can't learn anything at all and it's easy for them to develop a dislike for learning.
In the first class, Tang Xingqiang couldn't hold on for ten minutes and his butt kept twisting back and forth.
Tang Xingsheng was obviously confused, but he still tried hard to persevere.
The other new first-grade children started to make noise after a while, but Sun Qin didn't do much to stop them.
Although teachers nowadays don't dare to discipline students for fear of being dragged out for a fight, it is still rare to find someone as irresponsible as Sun Qin.
The classroom was noisy and I couldn't hear what she was saying.
She could only read the text without speaking, and her voice was very low. She lowered her head and mumbled like a spell, which was really torturous.
After the sudden improvement, I don’t know if it was because I had exhausted all my energy, but now my teaching is even worse than before.
Tang Xingsheng was a rare student who listened attentively to the lecture, but he almost fell asleep while listening and his eyelids were drooping.
Tang Qiaoqiao listened to the class at first, but later she quietly opened the textbook and studied on her own.
Tang Qingqing was worried, but she didn't know what to do.
Sun Qin is a regular teacher, not a substitute teacher, and even if she is a substitute teacher she cannot resign at will.
What's more, she is a military wife, so she can't say anything.
When class was over, Tang Qingqing went straight to the principal. This time, she said bluntly:
"Principal, the way Teacher Sun teaches is ruining the children in our team. We paid money and spent time and energy in vain, but they can't even learn basic pinyin, they don't know many Chinese characters, and they can't even do multiplication mnemonics. Three times three equals twelve. This is a huge joke no matter where you put it."
The old principal looked at the little girl in front of him who had grown very tall. Her face still looked very young, but her eyes were firm, making it impossible to regard her as an ordinary child.
The old principal had no solution to this problem.
He could only sigh and say, "I'll teach them again when they are in the fourth grade."
"But what they learned was ineffective. They didn't even make it to the fourth grade."
Many children drop out of school after just one year, and those who stay longer only graduate from primary school.
The old principal sighed deeply, but there was nothing he could do.
"Can't we ask the team leader to hire two more teachers? We have so many educated youth in our team, let them come and teach. They only teach half a day anyway, and they can continue to work in the afternoon."
The current class schedule is relatively loose, and the afternoon is basically free time. Most children still have to help out or earn work points.
Tang Qingqing also only attended classes for half a day and spent the other half doing her own things.
"I have mentioned this to the captain, but our school is too small to have so many teachers."
"Is it not okay if I'm not a formal teacher?"
"That also has to be counted as work points. People in the team will definitely have opinions."
Many families do not send their children to school here, so they do not care about the quality of teaching.
The educated youth were slow at work to begin with, and so many of them were taken away to become teachers. There were almost more teachers than students, so they were bound to have some opinions.
"What if you don't want work points?"
The old principal was stunned: "Who doesn't want work points? What will we eat and drink then?"
Tang Qingqing pursed her lips and said nothing.
"I will find a way to deal with this matter, don't worry."
How could Tang Qingqing not be anxious? Her three children were in primary school classes. If they couldn't learn anything, it would be a big loss.
Wang Heizi had originally planned to come, but during the summer vacation he made rapid progress and had already started learning the third grade content.
He planned to skip to the fourth grade after finishing his studies, just like Tang Qingqing, so he had not started formal classes yet.
After school, Tang Qingqing went to visit her three children.
Tang Qiaoqiao said with a bitter face: "Sister, why is what Teacher Sun said so different from what Zhai Zhiqing and you said? I almost fell asleep."
Tang Qiaoqiao likes attending classes very much and listens very carefully in every class.
She never imagined that going to school would be like this. It was so uncomfortable. She might as well study on her own at Old Liu's house.
Tang Xingqiang also felt that he had been hit: "Sister, I am beginning to doubt whether I am smart enough."
Tang Xingsheng cherished this hard-earned opportunity very much. Although he had a lot of complaints in his heart, he held them back and didn't say them out loud.
Tang Qingqing didn't know what to say. She was lucky. If it weren't for Zhai Hongyi, she would probably not want to go to school.
"It's like this on the first day, but it will get better. If you don't understand anything, I can tell you."
Tang Qingqing took them to Old Liu's house and gave them lessons again.
On the first day of class, not much was taught. Math only involved learning a few numbers, which Tang Xingqiang already knew.
There weren't many Chinese characters to learn. Tang Qingqing said them once and Tang Xingqiang remembered them all. He just didn't know the stroke order when writing, so he had to be taught slowly.
Tang Xingsheng was a slow learner and was a little worried when he saw his younger brother learning so fast. Tang Qingqing comforted him:
"Everyone is different. Don't look at others, just look at whether you have made progress."
Seeing that Tang Qingqing didn't scold him, Tang Xingsheng breathed a sigh of relief and started practicing seriously.
If you can't remember, just write and practice more, and you will always be able to remember it.
Tang Qiaoqiao has now started learning the second grade content, and Tang Qingqing is now giving her lessons.
Zhai Hongyi's main teaching target is still Tang Qingqing, and he provides more counseling to Tang Qiaoqiao and Wang Heizi, so Tang Qingqing becomes their main teacher.
In the process of teaching, you can also consolidate the knowledge you have learned.
When Zhai Hongyi came back, the class had ended and a group of children were sitting there practicing silently.
Tang Xingqiang was the most restless one, but he was obviously much more well-behaved when he was with Old Liu.
He is obviously more patient than Wang Heizi, and he can pretend to be serious whenever he wants.
Tang Qingqing didn't force him. Since he had already learned it, she let him play and didn't force him to do anything.
In the books, Tang Xingqiang learned very well under Sun Qin's teaching. After moving to the city with his parents, his academic performance in the junior high school in the city did not fall behind.
Later, he wanted to make money earlier, so he started doing business after graduating from junior high school.
At that time, it was more popular to make atomic bombs than to sell tea eggs. Therefore, Tang Jianjun and Zhao Dahua, knowing that their youngest son had good grades, did not stop him from dropping out of school. Instead, they encouraged him to do business.
Otherwise, if you keep studying, maybe you can get into a good university and have a different life.
Tang Qingqing took Zhai Hongyi outside to talk and told him what happened today.
"I thought this was not going to work and just wanted to run away. But now it seems that if she continues to teach like this, the children in our brigade will have to stay in the village for the rest of their lives."
Zhai Hongyi raised his eyebrows and looked at her, and Tang Qingqing realized that she had let the cat out of the bag.
Under the current situation, it is normal for farmers to stay on the land and it is difficult for them to get out of the mountains.
Fortunately, Zhai Hongyi did not delve into it and said, "This matter is indeed difficult to handle."
Even Zhai Hongyi said so. Tang Qingqing hung her head, not knowing what to do.
She can't call all the children over and ask them to tutor her, right?
Not to mention that I will be exhausted to death, what will happen to these students when she passes the exam next year?
Sun Qin is still very young and has a long time before she retires, but the children in Rongshan Brigade have been harmed by her.
Tang Qingqing felt that solving a case was much easier than dealing with this kind of thing.
Because it can be confirmed that the other party is a bad person. As long as the criminal is caught, he can be convicted and punished.
But now she knows that Sun Qin is not a qualified teacher and does not teach well, but she can't do anything about it.
