From the day he was sure that he could go to Shili No. 1 Middle School, the second son of the Lin family became more talkative and asked his sister about school matters every day.
What's the high school schedule like? Is the academic pressure high? Does everyone live on campus? What's life like living on campus? Is 10 yuan a month enough for your living expenses?
In mid-August, we received our admission letters and school opening instructions from the township middle school.
Wu Ni's plan was very simple. In addition to taking her own luggage, she must not leave behind the household registration certificate issued by the village, as this was related to her future household registration transfer and the distribution of living expenses and food rations.
Those going to high school need to bring more things. The school opening instructions clearly state that registration will be from August 31st to 2nd, and classes will officially start on the 3rd.
The tuition fee is 5 yuan, miscellaneous fees are 15 yuan, the book reservation fee is 12 yuan (more money will be refunded, less money will be supplemented), the accommodation fee is 12 yuan, the food fee is 8 yuan, and every month you have to pay 30 kilograms of rice, half a kilogram of rapeseed oil, and 20 kilograms of sweet potatoes.
Just like Lin Shuying, in fact, one semester costs more than fifty yuan, and two children together cost more than one hundred yuan, not including the living expenses when they are away from home. Families who work honestly on the farm may not be able to afford it.
Thinking back to my previous life, I was so eager to study that I thought tuition was too expensive and I wasn’t sure I could go to university, so I dropped out of school right after graduating from junior high school.
It’s not like now, everyone in the Lin family is immersed in the joy of going to school. The third brother even urged his brother to ask his parents for more living expenses so that they can bring him some good things from the city.
In the end, he was beaten up by his brother and sister together and finally stopped. Chen Chunhua laughed out loud when she saw it. It was great that only when you have money can you avoid such basic worries.
Lin Shugan was probably really used to being self-disciplined. Even during the summer vacation after graduating from junior high school, he did not watch TV or play without restraint.
He helped with farm work during the day, and in the evening he watched TV for two hours with his sister before going in to read together.
Lin Shuying will be a senior in high school at the beginning of the school year. Lin Guoqing said that whether the villagers can enjoy a three-day buffet next summer depends on her.
Although it was just a joke at the banquet, Shuying took it to heart.
She didn't really want to wear the big red flower, but she had to work hard to do things that would bring honor to her parents.
The brother and sister are both typical good students who study consciously. One is reviewing and consolidating the knowledge points learned in the first and second year of high school, while the other is using his sister's textbook to preview the knowledge learned in the first year of high school.
The brother and sister helped each other and successfully set a template for the other two siblings who were still watching TV outside and laughing foolishly.
"Lin Shuchao! When can you show me a passing test paper? Huh? You're almost in the eighth grade! Can the ninth grade be far behind?"
Your older brothers and sisters have all gone to high school and may even be able to go to college in the future? Are you really willing to be the least educated person in your family? !
After Chen Chunhua pulled the ear of one, she continued to pull the other one.
"And you! Lin Shumei, stop laughing at your brother!"
"You're going to middle school next year too, so stop messing around like the third oldest kid all the time! Can't you learn from your older brothers and sisters? Even if you rank high with your grades, you might not even be able to get into a high school!"
Lin Shumei felt quite aggrieved. Her grades were pretty good, right? At least a hundred times better than those three.
Lin Shugan also felt wronged, "Mom... I tried hard, but I just can't get into studying! I'm not as smart as my older sister and second brother!"
Grandma said, you can't expect everyone in your family to be smart! After all, the ancestral grave can't be filled with smoke every day!
Lin Guoqing sprayed a mouthful of water directly onto Liang Shengdi who was watching TV opposite.
Liang Shengdi was very angry. Since there was not much work to do in the fields today, she rowed a boat out for a stroll. She specially wore the high-end clothes that Chunhua bought for her and did not dare to get them dirty all day. As a result, she got all wet!
"Lin Guoqing! I was planning to wear this outfit tomorrow!"
Lin Guoqing raised his hand to apologize, but said, "It's so hot, aren't you sweating? You'd better wash it and dry it before wearing it."
"And Mom, you should be more careful when talking to your child next time..."
He finished muttering to Liang Shengdi in a low voice, and before she could respond, he spoke loudly to Lin Shuchao.
"Stop making excuses for yourself all the time! Don't worry about being smart or not. Haven't you heard that hard work can make up for lack of talent?"
In fact, Lin Shugan is the best spokesperson for this idiom.
For example, in terms of learning talent, he is really not as good as Lin Shuying and Wu Ni.
Wu Ni was just as hardworking as he was, but she always managed to score better than him. Shu Ying, the eldest sister in the Lin family, had no one to help her with her studies, so she had to figure things out on her own and even teach her younger siblings when she had free time.
Every time I come back, I want to squeeze out some time to watch TV.
In this way, her grades were firmly in the top ten in her grade at the key middle school, and occasionally she could even break into the top five.
Lin Shugan knew he wasn't that smart. His sister might understand many questions after just one listen, and even apply them to other situations immediately. But he might need to listen to the explanation three times and then ponder it on his own for a while before he could slowly grasp the answer.
He was not depressed nor did he feel his self-esteem was hurt. Three times was fine, as long as he could understand it.
The price to pay is simply to use the time for playing, resting and watching TV to study.
His greatest strengths are probably his self-control and patience.
He will magnify his strengths to make up for his weaknesses and strive to be a diligent student.
Lin Guoqing and Shen Chunhua saw all of this, so when the third brother said that he had tried his best, Lin Guoqing got angry.
You might as well say that you just don’t like reading. Otherwise, you can just write a few words and say that you have worked hard. How unfair to Lin Shugan’s diligence would that be?
The third child of the Lin family was scolded again. When her father was scolding, Lin Shumei secretly made a gesture to her mother, indicating that she was going back to her room to read.
There was no way, she didn't want to be scolded.
Starting from the end of this summer, Liang Shengdi's small black-sailed boat has become home to two children every month when she goes back and forth from the city.
As summer came to an end, Sanni and Qi Jinzhou's date was also set, after the New Year and before the spring plowing.
Although the two had only been dating for half a year, both parties, as well as their parents, were very satisfied with this good thing.
Ma Dexiang's family also started building a new house. However, they only needed to build one floor and one room, so Qi Jinzhou really paid for it.
This was his own request. Originally, Ma Dexiang felt that if he borrowed half and paid half, the house would definitely be built.
But Qi Jinzhou insisted that it was a dowry, and he directly paid for the bricks and cement and took them to Sihe Village. In the end, Ma Dexiang reluctantly agreed.
The one-room bungalow was built very quickly, and one of the walls was used from the old house, so no bricks needed to be laid. It was completed in less than two weeks.
This house was a bonus, and they didn't even have to host a house banquet, which saved them a lot of money.
So the couple discussed and decided to buy as many complete sets of bed sheets, quilt covers, cup and basin racks as possible for their house.
