Qin Qiu stood in the room without saying a word for a long time.
To be honest, she is considered to have a high level of education in the village. Most people of her age only studied to the second or third grade.
It was already very good for her to be in the first grade of junior high school, and with her grades, it was not easy for her to be admitted to high school.
This is also the reason why she doesn't want to study, but now her grandparents want her to go to school.
But she wanted to stay at home and help work in the fields.
After listening to what Old Lady Qin said, Qin Han didn't expect that the two old people were quite open-minded.
Taking the initiative to ask children to go to school, this kind of awareness is not something that ordinary old ladies have.
In their world, one also needs to learn a variety of knowledge, and both theory and practice are indispensable.
Only in this way can we become stronger and stronger.
If Qin Qiu went to school, his spiritual water could broaden her thinking and help her learn things more efficiently.
But whether she wants to go to this school is up to her. He never interferes with any choices made by others.
Although he also knew that for children from poor families, studying was the only way out.
Of course, with him around, Lao Qin’s family will never have a hard life again.
But there is a saying that will never go wrong: it is better to rely on yourself than on others.
Only when you are rich yourself can you be truly rich.
"Han'er, what are you thinking about?" Xie Yuwei was changing her son's diaper when she saw Han'er's eyes were wide open, looking thoughtful.
Qin Han pretended not to understand, then closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Xie Yuwei smiled helplessly: "This child, he fell asleep as soon as he was told to."
On the other side, Granny Qin looked at her granddaughter's hesitation and suggested, "Grandma knows that you are worried that your grades will not improve and that you will waste the family's money.
In this way, you study for half a year first. If your grades don’t improve at all during this half year, it means you are not cut out for studying.
But if you have made progress, let’s continue reading!”
Qin Qiu also thought that this suggestion was good, but what she was worried about now was that all the children in the family had gone to school, so who would take care of the housework and farm work?
Listening to her granddaughter's sensible words, Mrs. Qin felt warm in her heart: "This is the work of adults, why do you need to worry about it as a child?
Since you agree to study, I will ask your dad to take you to register when he comes back."
The primary school and junior high school are not in the same place. The junior high school is farther away from Zaojiazhuang, and it takes an hour and a half to walk there.
The primary school is in another village, which is larger and has more than two hundred households.
Children from several nearby villages go to school there.
It's on the other side of the mountain, and it takes an hour to walk there.
Qin Jiandang took the children to school, and after paying tuition, they stayed to attend classes.
Then he took Qin Yu to report. Fortunately, the junior high school had to pass through the elementary school, so there was no need to go back.
When he got home, it was already half past ten. Old Mrs. Qin asked him to have lunch and then took Qin Qiu to junior high school.
When she dropped out of school last year, she had just completed half a semester of first grade, and is now in the next semester.
She is two years older than Qin Yu, but Qin Yu started school one year earlier than Qin Qiu.
She didn't study last year, but if she repeats it now, we will be in the same grade.
However, Qin Yu's grades are average in the class, so there is still some hope for him to be admitted to high school.
Old Mrs. Qin is particularly persistent in letting her children go to school. As long as there is hope, she will send her children to school.
In this respect, no one in the village can compare to her.
This is also the reason why the family is poor, because most of the money is used for the children's schooling.
In addition, Qin Jianjun liked gambling, so even with subsidies from her younger son and daughter, the money was still not enough.
Today is the children's first day of school, and Grandma Qin started working at four in the afternoon.
There were no pheasants or rabbits left at home, so she used the remaining lamb chops to cook a pot of lamb chops soup, which she added carrots and corn, and seasoned with ginger, salt and MSG to remove the fishy smell.
Use a ceramic pot, place it on a clay stove, and simmer on low heat for two hours.
The smell escaped from the air of the Ceramics Museum, filling the air with fragrance.
Qin Han drooled when he smelled it, but unfortunately he couldn't eat it.
In addition to the lamb chops soup, Grandma Qin fried the remaining loaches and then made a stew of potatoes with braised pork, cabbage and spinach.
Qin Xue is eleven years old and in the fourth grade. She is responsible for taking her younger brothers and sisters to and from school.
As soon as they walked into the yard, they smelled the aroma of meat. Without putting down their cloth bags, they rushed to the kitchen excitedly.
"Grandma, what delicious food are you making?" Qin Man stood beside the stove, staring at the pot.
The small stove was suddenly surrounded by a crowd of people.
Old Lady Qin looked at the dirty children and said helplessly: "Did you go to school to study, or did you go to school to fight? The new clothes you just changed into are all dirty."
"Grandma, there are a lot of children in school. We played hide-and-seek and tag. It was so much fun going to school." Today was Qin Xia's first time to go to school, and he felt it was extremely fresh and interesting.
Xie Yuwei's mouth twitched after hearing what her son said: "Xia'er, grandma paid your tuition to go to school so that you can study hard, not so that you can play."
"Mom, I know, but today is the first day of reporting, and the books haven't been distributed yet."
"Okay, put your schoolbags away and wash your faces and hands. Dinner will be ready soon." Old Mrs. Qin was never harsh when it came to raising her children.
As long as the children don’t get into trouble or make any trouble, they can just play.
Children, their childhood should be happy.
Old man Qin, who was making a fire, took out four sweet potatoes from the fire chamber with tongs.
The sweet potatoes are not very big and were bought at the supply and marketing cooperative.
I bought a total of 20 kilograms and spent 60 cents on it. It had been kept in the cellar before.
Today he specially picked five larger ones to roast for the children, half for each, just enough for them to eat on an empty stomach.
There is another one in the stove, left for Qin Qiu and Qin Yu to eat when they come back.
In the yard, all the snow has melted.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the earth. Some of the fruit trees in Zaojiazhuang have already grown tender leaves, making the scenery look picturesque.
The children were sitting on the stone steps in the yard, enjoying delicious roasted sweet potatoes.
The face and hands that had just been washed were as black as coal briquettes again.
Zhang Xiumei was feeding her little daughter Qin Qing with a spoonful of food. Xie Yuwei looked at her son, who was smacking his lips, and knew that he was also greedy. She said gently, "Han'er, dear, I'll feed you after you grow teeth, okay?"
Qin Han was tired. When would he grow teeth?
Seeing his brothers and sisters eating delicious food every day, he felt extremely unbalanced.
Time flies, and it’s already March.
As winter goes and spring comes, everything comes back to life and it is time to plant again.
The land in the fields and the private plots need to be renovated.
March is the month when everything comes to life, grass grows and birds fly. It also rains more frequently, making it a good time for sowing.
Not only do we have to build rice fields and nursery beds, we also have to plant corn, peanuts, red beans, and the like.
She also wants to plant vegetables in her private plot, so she bought seeds of water spinach, cucumber, Chinese cabbage, leek, lettuce, etc.
