Chapter 111: First Week of School

Shen Ruoqing found that he had underestimated high schools of this era.

She now has to study eight subjects every day: politics, Chinese, mathematics, physics, chemistry, foreign languages, biology, and physical education.

And don’t think that you are just learning the basics, the teachers in this school are very good in all aspects.

Moreover, No. 1 High School in the county is the best high school in the county, with strong faculty and very serious teaching.

Because there is no such thing as reference material, it's just a book, so everyone has to take notes constantly during class.

Shen Ruoqing thought that because of the general environment, teachers would teach casually and students would learn casually. This is how schools in the village are. How much students can learn depends entirely on their own initiative. After all, in this era, people don't go to school to learn knowledge, but to find a job after graduation.

I didn't expect the academic competition in the county's No. 1 Middle School was so tough.

Besides learning knowledge, students also learn about industry, agriculture and military affairs...

There are many vegetable plots in the school, all of which are prepared for them, and the vegetables grown are just delivered to the canteen. In addition, the No. 1 Middle School in the county has also opened a farm specifically for students to learn agricultural technology.

Shen Ruoqing sighed deeply. It seemed that he still had to learn how to farm.

It is now 1973, and high school is still a two-year system. Shen Ruoqing thinks that after these two years, he will get a high school diploma, then find a job and take the college entrance examination again, and then go to university.

Well, it’s a beautiful imagination, keep up the good work!

Because there was only one bicycle, Shen Ruoqing followed Mu Bai's example and padded the back seat with cloth and cotton. Usually, Shen Hansong rode the bicycle and carried Shen Ruoqing.

I didn't expect that after only two days of riding, rumors spread in the class, saying that Shen Ruoqing was promiscuous, was not decent, and was hooking up with men, and the best possible things.

Shen Ruoqing knew with her toes that it was Zhang Xiaoli who did it.

In class, she grabbed Zhang Xiaoli and said, "Zhang Xiaoli, what right do you have to spread rumors that I was having affairs with other men and women? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Zhang Xiaoli was shocked and wondered how Shen Ruoqing knew that he was the one who spread the rumor?

But he pretended to be confused: "Shen Ruoqing, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"

Shen Ruoqing sneered, "What about using food to please male classmates, and riding in male classmates' cars to school every day? Do you dare to say that these rumors were not spread by you?"

"Can this be called a rumor? These are all facts! Do you dare to say that you didn't use food to please that boy from Class 5? And you ride in his car every day. You are so shameless, and you don't allow others to talk about it!" Zhang Xiaoli simply gave up and admitted generously, "If you dare to do something indecent, don't blame others for talking!"

"That's not someone else, that's Ruoqing's nephew!" Tao Tao said, "Zhang Xiaoli, you haven't figured out the whole thing, but you're talking nonsense, what about having an affair? That person is obviously Ruoqing's family member, his nephew! What's wrong with a family sharing food? Isn't it normal for a family to go to school together?"

Shen Ruoqing crossed her arms and said, "How can I be so unruly when I come to school in my nephew's car? Zhang Xiaoli, explain it to me clearly!"

Zhang Xiaoli was stunned. How could he be his nephew?

The people around were talking about it: "So that's how it is, I said Shen Ruoqing is not that kind of person!"

"I seem to have heard that male classmate call Shen Ruoqing "little aunt"!"

"That is to say, it seems that we misunderstood her."

"Then, that means I misunderstood you!" It took Zhang Xiaoli a long time to utter these words.

"Don't you know how important reputation is to a girl? You don't even know the truth of the matter, but you just casually fabricate a girl's reputation. How can you be so vicious? I have already told the teacher about this matter." Shen Ruoqing snorted. It was just a small matter, but Zhang Xiaoli tarnished her reputation like this.

After a while, Zhang Xiaoli was called to the office.

Shen Hansong also ran to Shen Ruoqing's class.

"Aunt, are you okay?" As soon as Shen Hansong arrived at school today, he heard the rumors and immediately came here to see if his aunt was being bullied.

"I'm fine."

Shen Hansong glanced at the students in Class 1 and said loudly, "Shen Ruoqing is my aunt, Shen Hansong. If anyone bullies my aunt, I will definitely stand up for her. My aunt is a treasure in our family. If you dare to bully my aunt, you must be prepared to bear the wrath of our entire family!"

Shen Ruoqing couldn't help but feel a little amused: "Don't worry, no one can bully your aunt."

Because Shen Ruoqing emphasized in front of the teacher that Zhang Xiaoli had seriously slandered her reputation and the impact was very bad, Zhang Xiaoli finally read a self-criticism in front of all the teachers and students in the school as punishment.

Now Zhang Xiaoli became famous among all the teachers and students in the school.

On the weekend, Shen Xiangnan drove a tractor to pick up Mrs. Ji and her two companions.

Along the way, Old Lady Ji and Shen Xiangnan chatted. Old Lady Ji talked about Wen Jiao, saying that Wen Jiao was a good woman, and it was very hard for her to raise a child alone. How could her husband's family be so cruel and want to divorce her? She had a good temper, was beautiful, and was still a worker. If Shen Xiangxi hadn't been so stupid, Old Lady Ji would have wanted to pair Wen Jiao with her third son.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Shen Xiangnan had no way of responding to this, so he could only change the topic to the newly arrived educated youth.

"The work of these new educated youth is even worse than that of the previous batch. The team leader asked them to pull out weeds, but they pulled out the crops and left the weeds in the field. This made Captain Tang scold him. It is better for educated youth Mu to be trouble-free and capable! If this new educated youth continues to behave like this, I am afraid that there will not be much grain to be distributed by the end of the year!"

Shen Ruoqing interrupted, "I heard that the newly arrived educated youth are all from Beijing, so they don't have to worry about not being able to support themselves even if they don't have a centimeter."

"Maybe that's why! The new educated youth aren't very active in their work."

As I was saying this, I found myself back in the village without realizing it.

"Mom is back."

Han greeted her, wiped her hands, and went to pour tea for Old Lady Ji.

Wang also came forward carrying Shen Hanxi, but found that Old Lady Ji didn't bring anything back, her face fell, and she went back to her room.

It is evening now, and Han is busy cooking for the family.

When he saw Shen Ruoqing and his son, he said that Shen Ruoqing and Shen Hansong had lost weight. He asked them if the food in the cafeteria was not good.

Shen Hansong said that the food in the cafeteria is indeed not as delicious as the food at home, and the food cooked by grandma is better than that in the cafeteria.

"Silly, the food in the cafeteria is from a big pot, it's definitely not as delicious as what you cook at home."

In fact, Shen Ruoqing felt that although the food in the cafeteria was not as delicious as at home, it was not enough to make one starve and lose weight after just one week there. What her sister-in-law said was blatant nonsense.

For dinner, they had rice, some fried vegetables, eggs, and fried eel. Han had already learned how to cook this dish, and she also knew how to fry loach, but frying loach consumes too much oil, so Han didn't do it.
