Not everyone has a schoolbag to carry nowadays, so most people make do with burlap bags or fertilizer bags, but the children are very happy anyway.
Seeing her two younger brothers wearing new clothes and carrying new schoolbags, Huang Yuelan was full of confidence in the future. She believed that everything would be fine.
Just treat the previous experiences as a nightmare. As long as she is there, she will never let the two younger brothers fall to the ground, let alone let them eat cold dishes and have no books to read, living a muddle-headed life.
Not only did she want her two younger brothers to go to school, she also tried to help them become successful in the future and bring honor to their deceased parents.
Although the new clothes and schoolbags looked nice, the Huang Yueqiang brothers only wore them for a while and quickly took them off. They carefully folded them and placed them on the bedside. They continued to wear clothes made of torn burlap bags and prepared to save the new clothes for when school started.
Ever since the last autumn harvest campaign, the team leader had fully witnessed Wang Jianguo's great strength, and he had been unstoppable ever since.
Whenever there was any heavy work in the production team, the team leader would think of him first.
For example, if someone is cutting down trees to build a house, or digging a river channel or building a river channel, if no one else is asked, Wang Jianguo will definitely be asked to do it.
You said that they are all human beings, and Wang Jianguo is equivalent to five or six people. If you were the team leader, would you not like such a member?
Whenever there was no accident, the team leader would ask the scorer to give Wang Jianguo a ten point score.
"Comrade Wang Jianguo must be given ten points for his work. If Comrade Wang Jianguo cannot get ten points, then no one in our Hongqi Commune can get them." Once the team leader has spoken, can the scorekeeper say no?
Besides, the captain was not partial to anyone, and he was just doing his job impartially. After all, Wang Jianguo's work was there, and the scorekeeper could see it. He had to think twice before giving others six or seven points, but Wang Jianguo's ten points were written directly without hesitation.
Wang Jianguo could earn ten work points every time he went to work. Everyone in the team was extremely envious and jealous, especially since he had to work very hard to get only six points.
"Do you think there is any justice in this world? We all work together and finish work together. For the same amount of time, they get ten points a day, while we get six points a day. It's almost twice as much. It's so unfair." One of the members said dissatisfiedly.
"What's the big deal? Didn't you see? He can carry two big logs by himself, but we can barely carry one big log with two people. He can do four or five of us, so what's wrong with getting ten points? If you can carry two big logs by yourself, the captain will also give you ten points. Can you do it?"
Some people are dissatisfied and jealous, and always want to isolate Wang Jianguo, but not all people are narrow-minded. They are clear-headed and know Wang Jianguo's skills and abilities, so they will naturally not follow suit.
When Wang Jianguo was working, he never interfered with others, nor did he gossip with others. He just worked hard.
He had only one thought in his mind, which was to work hard and earn work points, so that he could get more food and money at the end of the year and take it home for his wife to spend.
Seeing that Wang Jianguo was so capable and handsome, many girls in the village regretted their decision.
"She's so pretty, and she's also so good at hard work. She can do the work of two days for others in one day. Don't you think Huang Yuelan has really found a treasure?"
"That's right. I heard that he is not only good at work, but also loves his wife very much. He goes to the supply and marketing cooperative from time to time to buy delicious food for his wife, and treats her two younger brothers very well."
"Really? Oh my god, what a good man! The man in my family is like a dead person, he doesn't buy anything for me and always listens to my mother."
"A good man is a good man, but as for women, it's hard to say."
Everyone knows that Huang Yuelan is not only infertile, but also lazy and a spendthrift.
The number of people who did not work in the entire production team could be counted on one hand. The older people would even go up the mountain to collect firewood, but she didn't even know where the land of their production team was, let alone work in the fields.
So now everyone no longer laughs at Wang Jianguo as a savage, but instead sympathizes with him for marrying a wife who cannot survive and ruins the family.
As is the eternal tradition, school starts on September 1st.
Huang Yueqiang and his brother carried the new schoolbags made by their sister, put on new clothes and went to school.
As soon as the two brothers walked into the school, they were particularly eye-catching and attracted the attention of many girls. In fact, the two brothers were quite eye-catching before.
But things are different now. In the past, they were conspicuous because they were wearing too tattered clothes. At first glance, they were the poorest people in the entire production team and looked even more pitiful than beggars. Now, they have transformed into two clean children, wearing new clothes, and suddenly became the most handsome guys in the elementary school.
The people who had previously laughed at the two brothers for being ugly now said nothing.
"Are those two people the Huang Yueqiang brothers? They don't look alike to me."
"I don't think so either, but it is absolutely true."
"You were like a beggar before, why did you suddenly change?"
"I heard that their sister's engagement was broken off, and she followed the wild men. The wild men in the mountains were very kind to them. Not only did they buy cloth to make new clothes for them, but they also sent the two brothers to school."
"Oh my! I never thought that savages would understand love!"
Seeing that everyone was looking at them with envy, Huang Yueqiang and his brother became more confident. As soon as they walked into the classroom, they saw their uncle's second brother.
Huang Yuezhen is the second son of his uncle. He is the same age as Huang Yueqiang and his brother, and they are all in the first grade this year.
When Huang Yuezhen saw that her two younger brothers, who had always worn clothes that she didn't wear and ate her leftovers, had become so dazzling, she felt jealous.
When she learned that she was going to school today, her grandmother made her a new schoolbag. However, compared with the ones Huang Yueqiang and the others had, it suddenly didn't seem as good.
The two younger brothers’ backpacks are more fashionable, with several pockets on the outside for pencils, erasers, etc., and small animals sewn on them as decorations.
The new schoolbag that my grandma sewed for me is just a big bag. All my things are packed inside it. It doesn’t even have a small pocket.
I thought they had no chance to go to school, but unexpectedly they came to school.
However, if they were still in their hometown, the two brothers would definitely not have the opportunity to go to school.
Although there may be some grudges between adults, the next generation should still talk to each other. After all, children don’t have so many calculations, and their relationship is better than that of their elders.
Huang Yueqiang and the other person went over to greet Huang Yuezhen, and then sat down in their respective seats.
Knowing that this opportunity to go to school is hard-won, the two brothers Yueqiang cherish it very much. They are extremely serious in class and do not make trouble after class. They just study hard.
Because their sister has told the two brothers that now they have to study hard, go to college in the future, and find a formal and stable job. They can become doctors, teachers, translators, etc. But if they don’t study hard, they will have to stay in the production team all their lives, facing the loess and back to the sky, working day and night without sunup.
Neither of them is stupid. If they have to choose between the two, it is obvious that the former is many times better than the latter.
Anyway, the teachers in the team have a more comfortable life than the farmers who have to dig for food in the fields. Their teachers just teach classes on weekdays, without having to be exposed to the sun or strong wind, and they can also receive food and wages. So they firmly believe that what their sister said is correct, studying is their best way out, and they must not go astray.
Even though the two of them had been crazy since they were young, they were still very good at studying. They were very smart and could grasp the knowledge taught by the teacher very quickly.
Although Huang Yuezhen is also very serious, studying is not just about being serious. It also requires a certain level of talent, especially in terms of IQ, which has certain rigid requirements.
After the midterm exam results came out, Mrs. Huang was particularly excited and asked Huang Yuezhen how many points she had scored. Huang Yuezhen said she had scored more than 70 points.
"Not bad, not bad. Over 70 points is already very high. I see that several grandchildren of our neighbors all scored less than 60 points. I heard that you are in the same class with Huang Yueqiang and the others. You must have scored higher than those two idiots, right? How many points did they both score?" In the heart of old lady Huang, Huang Yuelan and her two siblings are the fighters among idiots. They can't compare with the other grandchildren in anything.
Huang Yuezhen didn't dare to lie and said directly: "They both scored more than 90 points. One is first and the other is second."
When Mrs. Huang heard this, the smile on her face disappeared immediately.
Just now I thought Huang Yuezhen was proud of having scored 70 points, but now I suddenly feel that 70 points is not good at all.
"These two big idiots actually got more than 90 points? Is this true?" the old lady asked in disbelief.
Huang Yuezhen: "Really?"
"You have to work harder next time. Grandma doesn't ask for much. Just beat the Yueqiang brothers. Otherwise, Grandma will lose face."
When Huang Yuezhen heard this request, he felt that it would be impossible to accomplish it in his lifetime. After all, he had tried his best to get more than 70 points in the exam. If he wanted to surpass the first and second place, it would be better for him to die.
Upon learning that her two younger brothers had ranked first and second in the exam, Huang Yuelan went to the supply and marketing cooperative early the next morning to weigh out some pork belly.
The supply of pork belly at the supply and marketing cooperative was very tight. If you went too late, you wouldn't be able to buy any at all. Huang Yuelan got up early and queued up. As soon as the door opened, she ran to the meat stall, weighed a few pounds of meat, spent fifty cents, and prepared to celebrate with her two younger brothers.
As soon as she got home, Huang Yuelan began to cut out the fat and the lean meat. She first turned the fat into lard, scooped out the oil residue to make dumplings, and used the lean meat for stir-frying.
Huang Yuelan never had any reaction when cooking on normal days, but today, as soon as she smelled the lard, she felt nauseous for a while.
Wang Jianguo came back from work and saw it. He hurried over and asked with concern: "Yuelan, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup."
Huang Yuelan shook her head. "It's okay, it's okay. I just feel a little nauseous when I smell the greasy smell."
When Wang Jianguo heard about nausea, his eyes immediately brightened, and he asked, "Wife, besides feeling nauseous, have you had any other reactions recently?"
Huang Yuelan thought for a moment, pointed to her belly and said, "Besides feeling nauseous, I feel like my belly is getting fatter."
Wang Jianguo immediately became happy: "Wife, you are pregnant with my baby!"
