Chapter 86 Going to School
After Lu Xiaoxiao chatted with the captain's family for a while, she asked the captain, "Captain, are we going to start spring ploughing tomorrow?"
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the captain took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Everyone will start working in the fields tomorrow, but you have to wait a while before cutting grass for the pigs, as the grass on the mountain hasn't grown yet.
Your uncle said before that he would arrange for you to go to school. The village primary school will start tomorrow, so you should come to my house at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, and then I will take you to register. "
After listening to the captain's words, Lu Xiaoxiao nodded, then she chatted with the captain's family for a while and then went home.
After returning home, she looked at the time and found that it was already past five o'clock. She felt a headache when she thought about going to school to register tomorrow. She was not really only nine years old. Fortunately, as long as she passed the exam, she would not have to go to class, otherwise she would probably go crazy.
I guess the registration will go very quickly tomorrow. There will definitely be a lot of things that the team leader needs to arrange on the first day of spring ploughing. Then after she finishes registering, she can still catch the ox cart to the county town.
After dinner, he continued to practice in the space.
The next morning, after Lu Xiaoxiao finished practicing her skills, she left the space. She looked at the time and it was only half past six, so she took out a steamed bun and a cup of milk and started eating.
After breakfast, she put on her small cloth bag, locked the door and walked towards the captain's house.
When Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at the captain's house, she saw the captain sitting in the yard, so she greeted the captain, and the captain took her towards the school.
When Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at the school, she saw that many parents had already brought their children to register. It was probably because spring ploughing had begun and they were afraid of delaying the earning of work points so they brought their children to register early.
Because there were two children registering at the first grade entrance, Lu Xiaoxiao waited nearby. She looked around at the people registering and found that they were mostly boys, with only two or three girls.
Nowadays, everyone is struggling to make ends meet, so generally only boys who can carry on the family line will be allowed to go to school. As for girls, they will be married when they grow up, so it doesn’t matter whether they go to school or not. Only girls who are particularly favored by the family will have the opportunity to go to school, but such cases are very rare.
After a while, it was her turn to register. The team leader told the teacher about her situation. After the teacher asked her a few questions, he agreed to her request that she not come to class on weekdays but only come during exams.
After paying three yuan in tuition, Lu Xiaoxiao said goodbye to the teacher and left school. When she arrived at the school gate, she told the team leader that she had to go to the county town for something, so she and the team leader went their separate ways.
When Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at the entrance of the village, she saw the time was only 7:40. There were several aunties standing there waiting for the ox cart. She didn't know them, so she could only smile and say hello: "Hello, aunties."
The people standing at the entrance of the village saw Lu Xiaoxiao greeting them, so they said to Lu Xiaoxiao: "It's Lu Zhiqing, are you going to the county town too?"
"Yes, auntie, you don't have to call me Lu Zhiqing, just call me Xiaoxiao. We're out of matches at home, so I thought I'd go to the supply and marketing cooperative now that we don't have to cut grass for pigs."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, several aunts nodded in agreement and praised Lu Xiaoxiao for being a successful person.
In fact, Lu Xiaoxiao went to the county town this time mainly to collect subsidies and use up the tickets that were about to expire, and the most important thing was to use the three special wine tickets to buy the Maotai she had been dreaming of.
But she would definitely not tell the truth. One should not show off one's wealth and one should always be on guard against others.
After a while, Uncle Liu came over in an ox cart. She still sat behind Uncle Liu. Along the way, she chatted with Uncle Liu to pass the time. Uncle Liu also told her that he had bought everything she wanted to buy this time. Because oxen were needed for spring plowing, there were no ox carts to come to the county town for a long time and people had to walk.
