The second girl asked Chen Ye with a smile: "Do you know how those two educated youth were punished?"
"Come on, is it possible that work points aren't being deducted this time?"
"Hehe, you cleaned the pigsty for a month, but you didn't see the expressions on those two guys' faces when they heard about this punishment." The second girl smacked her lips as if she was still savoring the scene she saw at the time.
"By the way, it seems like you've seen the scene?"
The second girl smiled and nodded: "Yeah, my home is close to the educated youth site, so if there's anything going on, I can hear it if I pay attention."
Chen Ye gave a thumbs up: "You are really good, you never lag behind in anything, you are not tired yet."
"Hehe, I don't feel tired when watching the excitement." Who is like you, living like a hermit, and you can't be seen wherever there is excitement.
Chen Ye twitched his lips. Before, the pigs in their village were all taken home by the villagers to be raised, but later on, some of the piglets were killed for their meat and then falsely reported as having died of illness.
That's why it was decided to raise them all together, with people who couldn't do heavy work to look after and feed them, and the whole village supervising them. This is how the piglets were saved from being killed for meat before they grew up.
She had also been to the pig farm. It was okay in winter, but it was terrible in the summer. The stench could be smelled three miles away, and no one took good care of the pigs. No wonder half of the pigs did not meet the requirements every year.
If the person who raises the livestock is careless and no one takes good care of them, how can the livestock grow well?
"Will those two agree?" They were all from the city, so they probably had never seen what a pig looked like. When she first saw a real pig, she was also amazed.
The second girl curled her lips and said, "How dare you disagree? The team leader said that if they don't go, they will be asked to carry manure and water the fields later."
Chen Ye...pig manure is always better than human manure - right?
"By the way, you don't go to middle school! Don't you love studying the most?"
She was not interested in studying and had no intention of going to school. She just learned a few words like Ye Zi and could write her own name, which she didn't use in her daily life.
"I study at home and just go to the exam when it's time. I'm alone at home. If I go to school instead of working, what will I eat?"
The second girl nodded and said, "You are right. If we don't go to work, the food we have won't be enough to eat."
Not only that, if she didn't go to work but still received per capita rations, the villagers would definitely be unhappy because there was no need to make a fuss about this.
"Okay, I'm going back. You can come to my house and play when you have time." He reached the bridge so quickly?
Chen Ye waved his hand: "Go back and rest. Come to my house to find me when you have time."
There are a few days of vacation after the autumn harvest. The cabbages in the field have just been planted and there is not much work to do. The primary school children have started to return to school, and Shuanzhu goes to school with a pout every day.
Chen Ye went up the mountain today and got some wild fruits. After dinner, she packed some and gave some to several old men and their families. In a few days, she will be able to go up the mountain with the villagers to collect mountain products. That is when she will make the biggest profit.
When Chen Ye arrived at his grandfather's house, an old man was sitting under the eaves, puffing on welding smoke, and his face was clearly unhappy and helpless.
The younger one was sitting in the yard doing his homework in the last ray of light from the sky. He bit the pen, frowned, and looked bitter and resentful.
Seeing Ye Zi coming in, both the old and the young smiled: "Ye Zi is here, come in, come in, you are finally here."
Chen Ye... Although she is usually quite popular, she always has a bad feeling about her today.
"Sister, why are you here just now? Come over here and take a look at my question. How come I don't understand it?"
Chen Ye...as expected.
Chen Shengli nodded quickly: "Right, right, right. Hurry up and tie him up and look at that question. I don't have enough knowledge to teach him clearly."
He said he would not tell Ye Zi anything. He almost got mad to death when he was teaching Shuanzhu just now. This was not a job that an uneducated man like him should do.
However, Chen Ye had not thought at that time that teaching a child would really increase his blood pressure. He just thought it was just a matter of teaching a few more times.
"Didn't I tell you that if I'm not at home, go ask Grandpa Feng if you have any questions?"
Chen Shengli was immediately amused and interrupted him: "Why didn't you go? Shuanzhu was the one who listened to you the most. He only went for two days, and your Grandpa Feng sent him back, saying that he couldn't teach a piece of rotten wood."
Of course, Old Man Feng would not put it so crudely. What he meant was that a rotten tree cannot be carved. However, Chen Shengli did not remember this sentence, so he translated it. It’s okay as long as the general meaning is that.
Chen Ye also found it funny. Not to mention Grandpa Feng, even she couldn't stand having her head tied up. She was simply not smart at all. You taught her five words, but she forgot four and a half when she was asked the next day, and she had to guess for the remaining half.
"Shuanzhu may not have figured it out yet. He'll be fine once he learns to study." Shuanzhu seems to be quite smart, so he might get better after a while.
Chen Shengli shook his head. This possibility was not high. Shuanzhu's father was a blockhead. He was so dumb that a donkey pulling him would be smarter than him. Shuanzhu's mother was okay, but she didn't know more words than this old man.
Of course, he would definitely not tell Ye Zi this now. What if Ye Zi refused to teach him and tied him up? He couldn't join the army without knowing how to read. At least he had to graduate from elementary school.
"Maybe." Chen Shengli's tone was full of guilt.
"By the way, I received a package today. There's a small packet inside for you. Go open it and take a look."
"Are they mailed by Brother Gao and Brother Cui again?" Since those two came last time, there have been obviously more packages here at the little grandfather's place than before.
"Yes, these two guys are really thoughtful."
Chen Ye took the package from the house to the yard and carefully opened the outer bag. Everything was good stuff now, so he had to keep the bag well as it would be useful in the future.
When the bundle was opened, it was filled with various books. Only a few of them belonged to Ye Zi. The rest were books that Ye Zi had never read. Ye Zi's little face immediately lit up with joy.
Chen Shengli found it funny: "Are you so happy? What's so good about this thing?" He got a headache just by looking at it.
"Hehe, they look great. I think these books are particularly interesting. It's a pity that my Grandpa Feng is not good at math, physics, or chemistry. Otherwise, he could help me answer questions I don't understand."
Chen Shengli understood it immediately. Xiucai was an old-fashioned scholar who had never attended a modern school. The so-called old-fashioned schools did not teach mathematics, physics, and chemistry. This was really a problem.
"What should we do? How about you save up your questions and then go to the commune middle school to ask the teacher?"
Chen Ye shook her head. She was not familiar with any of the teachers in the commune.
