It's just that she doesn't have much spare money, otherwise she could go to the county to buy books.
The last time she went to the county town with Teacher Wang, she did some shopping and went to the bookstore. With her little pocket money, she could only buy one or two books. Time was too tight. Otherwise, she would definitely have gone to the scrap yard to have a look.
"Tudan, Teacher Wang agreed that I don't have to go to school on rainy days in winter and can study at home."
Tudan was confused. How could he study at home without going to school?
"Sister, does Dad know?"
This is a big deal.
"Dad doesn't know yet. I just made the decision on my own. I heard from my younger sister that I catch colds easily in winter and my health is not good. I told Teacher Wang about this in advance because I didn't want to scare him."
Tudan immediately understood why Teacher Wang had asked him about his sister's situation.
"Dad, I got first place in the midterm exam again."
Tudan thought his sister was being modest. "Dad, except for Chinese, where I might have lost points on the composition, I got full marks in all other subjects."
Accountant Zhao coughed lightly and said, "It's time to reward her. How about this, I'll give Jiaojiao five dollars."
"Meili, go get the money."
Wang Meili heard the results and knew that with her daughter's grades, there would be no problem for her to get into high school.
"Okay." He went into the house and took out five yuan, all of which were one-yuan coins.
Zhao Jiaojiao took the money and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mom and Dad."
"Tudan, how did you do on the exam?"
Tudan said sullenly, "I am ranked tenth in our class." This was the result of Tudan's own hard work and Zhao Jiaojiao's tutoring. Otherwise, even in an ordinary class, with his grades, he would probably be at the bottom of the class.
Those who can get into junior high school do not have very bad grades.
"Dad, Mom, there's something I didn't tell you in advance and I made the decision on my own."
"What is it?"
Zhao Jiaojiao took a deep breath. "Although I have lost my memory, I asked my younger sister about it. She told me that I caught a cold several times in the winter a few years ago and spent most of the time in bed. I told Teacher Wang about this in advance. The results of this midterm exam are my promise to Teacher Wang that I will study hard at home."
This matter is indeed very big.
Accountant Zhao almost forgot about this matter.
In the past, my daughter had to take medicine several times every winter.
She was also afraid of the cold, so Accountant Zhao even asked how to heat the kang. The bed in Zhao Jiaojiao's room was not actually a bed, but a kang, which would be warm in winter as long as it was heated.
The dorm is filled with wooden beds. If you sleep on them for a few nights, you'll definitely catch a cold.
"Has your teacher Wang agreed?"
Zhao Jiaojiao nodded, "Yes, I agree, and the principal agrees too."
"Just keep up."
Accountant Zhao couldn't bear to see his daughter freezing in school because of studying, right?
I heard that eating more beef and mutton can get rid of some coldness in the body, but the cows here are used for farming, and as for sheep, they are very rare, so it is really not easy to buy them.
The sweet potatoes were dug up, and sweet potato rice, sweet potato cakes, roasted sweet potatoes, etc. appeared on the Zhao family’s dining table.
The weather started to get colder. Zhao Jiaojiao did not go home to study immediately, but continued to attend classes. However, she had already put on her coat and even thicker pants.
"Jiaojiao, are you cold?" Wang Wenwen, who was still wearing one piece of clothing, looked at Zhao Jiaojiao and asked in confusion.
"I'm afraid of the cold."
In her previous life, Zhao Jiaojiao was not so afraid of the cold. In order to take care of her study and health, they ordered milk for her since she was a child. She ate eggs and various meats every day. It can be said that there was meat for every meal, but Zhao Jiaojiao just didn't grow. Her parents were very worried, fearing that she would be in poor health and have difficulty studying.
