Song Lili didn't even realize that she had been feeling a little down just moments before, but after learning that she would be with Zhang Qinghua in the future, she immediately became radiant.
She was in a great mood right now, and even though it was raining, she felt that the weather was really nice today.
It seemed so beautiful that I wanted to sing.
About half an hour later, Zhang Qinghua stood up and said, "Let's go, we should go home."
Song Lili hesitated, "Should we wait a little longer?" Half an hour is too short, isn't it? Other people's dates last for several hours.
"No, it'll take too long and other people might see us." Although the other two are engaged, they aren't.
Even if you're engaged, people will still gossip if you spend too much time alone together.
"Okay, take it." Song Lili said helplessly; this was the thing she was least comfortable with.
Whenever a man and woman spend a little more time together, all sorts of rumors will emerge. I don't know how those people can always find such things.
To give your family some peace and quiet, it's best not to do anything reckless.
The four of them went home together, while Song Lili and Yang Mei went straight home.
As soon as Song Lili got home, she heard some shocking news.
"Lili, I heard from the villagers that junior high school has started, and I'm planning to send you to school in a few days."
"What? What did you say? What do you want me to do?" Song Lili was stunned.
Going to school? Oh no!
Going to school can actually be skipped; isn't it said that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent?
She went to school enough in her previous life and already knew all that knowledge, so she probably doesn't need to go back, right?
“I plan to send you and Fangfang to school in a few days. You only graduated from elementary school and haven’t started junior high yet.”
"Now that the family has money, my father is thinking that you guys should go too."
Song Yongren did not have any preference for boys over girls, so he wanted to send every child to school.
However, due to the difficult conditions at the time, we had no choice but to give up.
This time, Song Lili sold her cabbages and the family had money, so Song Yongren thought of sending the children to school.
But Song Lili resisted, saying, "Uncle, I don't want to go. Let Fangfang and my brother go instead. My brother is a boy, so he should go to school even more."
This time, Song Yongren seemed determined: "Your brother has graduated from junior high school, so this time it's just you and Fangfang going."
"But there's still high school! Let your brother go to high school!" And then, can you please leave her alone?
“Your brother doesn’t want to go. Junior high school is enough. It’s just you and Fangfang. Junior high school is enough. If you don’t want to continue, then you don’t have to study.”
Song Lili wanted to wail, "I don't want to go to junior high either, can she not go?"
Song Yongren couldn't hear Song Lili's wails and directly gave the notice, "You and Fangfang will go together in a few days."
Song Lili suddenly felt like crying.
Going to school? She never even considered it! How could such a thing happen?
However, no matter how much she resisted, Song Yongren refused this time, insisting that she had to go.
During dinner that evening, Song Lili said to Song Jianshe, still feeling down, "Brother, why don't you go to school? You go, I'll stay home. Boys should study more."
Song Jianshe glanced at her and said, "I don't need to. Junior high school graduation is enough. After Da Da finishes speaking, he'll take you and Fangfang there."
Song Lili rolled her eyes in anger. She didn't want to go, which was why she encouraged Song Jianshe to go.
"But girls don't have to go to school. I graduated from elementary school." Well, that's considered a high level of education.
You don't need to study anymore.
Song Jianshe, however, bluntly shattered Song Lili's dream: "Then go and talk to Dada. Anyway, he said that you and Fangfang are going, and you also need to graduate from junior high school."
"Can we not go?" Song Lili asked listlessly.
She really didn't want to go! Going to school was less appealing than going to work in the fields.
“No way.” Song Jianshe said firmly.
Song Lili looked like a defeated rooster, dejected and her spirits plummeted.
I don't want to go to school.
Song Lili's protest was ineffective, and when she met Yang Mei the next day, she was still in low spirits, which Yang Mei noticed immediately.
"Lili, what's wrong? Is something bothering you?" Why are you so listless?
"My uncle wants me to go to school, but I don't want to. Do you think I should be happy about that?"
Yang Mei was very surprised. "You don't want to study?" She had never seen anyone like this before.
Children nowadays are eager to study, and they are happy as long as their families say they can go to school. Girls, in particular, are rarely sent to school by their families.
Everyone felt that supporting girls' education was a waste of money, so many girls stayed at home to work.
Song Lili was the first person Yang Mei met who didn't want to study.
It's really so rare, so unbelievable.
