Before school started, the primary school at the entrance of Dafang Village had been built and sat quietly on the land, waiting to be filled with students as soon as school started.
The school’s big iron gate looks very imposing, brand new and shiny.
The words "Dafang Village Primary School" are hung on the curved lintel.
The teaching building in the school was built into a two-story building, and there is a brand new runway.
It looks the same as the gymnasium in Dafang Village, but the facilities in the gymnasium look much more stylish.
There are two basketball hoops installed at both ends of the playground, and of course we did not forget to erect a tall five-star red flag in front of the teaching building.
Although school hasn't started yet, the big iron gate has already been opened.
The arranged teachers have already reported to the school and are making preparations for the start of school.
When school started, Hua Wanchi was in fifth grade.
By this time next year, she will have to go to the county to attend junior high school.
So, time passes quickly.
Five years of elementary school passed in the blink of an eye, and junior high school and high school together are only six years. After six years, it’s time to go to college!
A few days before school started, Hua Wanchi checked everyone's homework progress.
Obviously, the children have been so engrossed in playing during these two months that they have forgotten what the knowledge points are.
But, this is normal.
After all, even Hua Wanchi himself was happily playing and had long forgotten about studying.
So she mercilessly assigned three test papers to everyone.
Because school starts in three days, I'll finish one page a day just in time to finish it.
"No more going to primary school in the commune!"
Parents are still quite happy because it means they no longer have to prepare lunch for their children or pay them to eat out.
Anyway, the school is right at the entrance of the village, and going home for dinner is just a few steps away.
You can also take a nap at home before leaving.
The kids wouldn’t think so much, but the school is right at the entrance of the village, so they don’t have to walk so far!
There is also a small store at the entrance of the village, which sells a lot of delicious food and many small toys.
The adults bought elastic bands there to make pants, which were the same rubber bands that girls used for jumping rope.
Before school starts, the restless children are already jumping rope, playing shuttlecock and playing marbles at the village entrance.
It used to take a long time to get back from the commune primary school, but now I don’t have to walk so much, and I have at least an extra hour of entertainment time!
There is no child who doesn’t like to play, so the entertainment life after school becomes richer.
Hua Gaozhi separated from the family and did not have to hand over her income to her family. In addition, Fang Jianguo also worked in the factory. Their combined salary was 60 yuan, and they received extra bonuses from time to time, which was quite abundant.
So I was very generous in giving Fang Yumei pocket money.
That’s a full five dollars a month!
The snacks in the store are only a few cents, so Fang Yumei can buy almost anything she wants. Once she has spent the money, she can just wait until next month.
If something is more expensive, just save the money. Ten dollars for two months, what can’t you buy?
In short, the birth of Dafang Village Primary School has greatly boosted the economy of the convenience store.
Wan Qingliu is in high spirits and his business is good every day.
The convenience store is not only popular with villagers from Dafang Village, but also with people from Zhoujiaqiao next door and other villages within a kilometer away who come to buy things.
After all, the Dafang Village convenience store is the nearest sales point to them. No tickets are required to buy things and the prices are not expensive, so naturally many people come to patronize it.
This year, a group of new children will be enrolled in school. They can report directly to the village primary school. As one group of children goes to school, a group of children will naturally graduate.
Basically, those who graduate from primary school can go to junior high school, but those who graduate from junior high school may not be able to get into technical secondary school or high school.
This group of people are already sixteen years old and can go out and find work.
It just so happened that the factory in Yangcheng was completed, and a group of young people in the village could go there to work.
The wages in Guangzhou are quite generous, including food and accommodation, and the salary is 50 yuan per month.
As soon as I heard that there was 50 yuan per month and there was someone of the right age in my family, I went directly to the village chief to sign up.
That’s fifty dollars!
I only earn thirty dollars a month working in the village garment factory!
Out of the fifty dollars, at least thirty dollars should be sent back home. This means the family will have an extra thirty dollars in income every month. Who wouldn't be tempted?
Moreover, in the past few years, everyone was having children as much as possible, and a family might have two or three brothers and sisters of the right age going together, so the ones in their sixties or nineties would have to be sent home.
The Yangcheng Garment Factory does not need so many people and can only accommodate dozens of them. But if there is this one, there must be many other factories there - you can definitely go and work in other factories.
Everyone at the village entrance is still talking about it.
"Anyway, my eldest and second daughters are planning to go." Aunt Xihua's two oldest daughters are seventeen and sixteen years old.
They originally planned to raise him for two years before getting married, but now they can go out to work, so they both volunteered to go with him without telling their families.
"Why didn't I think of working there before? I only realized it now!" The aunt next to her slapped her thigh.
"Yangcheng is so far away! And it's not safe outside. Who would dare to run out without knowing the situation?"
"Yes, let's go with this group of young men who are going to Widow Wu's garment factory. We'll have someone to look after us on the way."
In fact, the best thing is to work at home, where you know everyone, are with your family, and get paid.
However, there are only so many jobs in the village, and most of the young graduates can only stay at home idle. Some go to learn a skill, while some have no interest and are reluctant to spend money, so they can only farm at home.
A total of 50 people from Dafang Village were preparing to go to the garment factory in Yangcheng, and another 30 people were following them to find jobs in Yangcheng.
Wu Muxiang even called Boss Zhu specifically, hoping he could introduce her to jobs in other factories.
Boss Zhu was very generous. He patted his chest and said that he knew some factory owners and would definitely introduce them to these young people when the time came.
If both sides want to do long-term business, the other side will naturally not cheat the villagers.
The village helped this group of young people get train tickets. Everyone packed their bags at home and then set off on their journey with curiosity about the outside world and anxiety about leaving home.
As soon as the young men left to work, the children started school.
It’s a new semester and everyone is going to meet new teachers.
Of course, some teachers don't need to be re-acquainted.
After all, they are all from the same village, and maybe they are relatives.
Most of the teachers who passed the exam in the village are high school graduates. Junior high school graduates can apply, but they cannot compete with those who graduated from high school. Naturally, those who passed the exam have higher academic qualifications.
Some of them are newly assigned after graduating from secondary normal schools.
The other part is teachers transferred from surrounding primary schools, such as the commune primary school.
The class teacher in charge of the late class is a Chinese teacher, an old teacher transferred from the commune primary school.
New teachers have no experience yet, so of course they won’t be asked to teach the fifth grade graduating class right away. They are usually assigned to a new first grade class.
