"The school is closed on weekends. I'll give you one dollar every week. Save some of it. Tomorrow your father will bring you food to school to exchange for food coupons..."
Wang Meili explained a lot of things to her and tidied them up for her before letting her go to bed.
"Sister, get up, get up." Zhao Lingling called out when she saw that her sister had not woken up yet.
Zhao Jiaojiao got up and thought she was late. She glanced out the window and saw that it was just dawn. She looked at Zhao Lingling helplessly. It’s not necessary to be here so early, right?
"Isn't it too early?"
Zhao Lingling glanced outside and said, "Sister, if you want to go to town, you have to take a bullock cart. The captain has a bicycle at home, but he won't lend it to you."
bike?
Well, bicycles in this era are what cars were in decades past.
Zhao Jiaojiao got up, dressed, braided her hair, and went out to wash her face.
"Jiaojiao is up, come and eat quickly."
This is going to school.
"Wait a minute, your dad will take you to town and bring you a mat and a quilt. The school is on vacation, so remember to come back." Wang Meili did not forget that her daughter did not remember what happened before, so she couldn't help but give her a few more instructions.
Because they went to town early, Accountant Zhao had to drive the ox cart himself to take Zhao Jiaojiao to the town school.
"Is the accountant sending Jiaojiao to school?"
"Going to school so early?"
After they walked away, a voice could still be heard, "Why does a girl need to study so much? She will be raised by her husband's family."
"I really don't know what the accountant couple is thinking. No matter how well they raise their daughter, she still has to get married."
"You're about to get married, and you're still going to school. It's a waste of money."
Zhao Jiaojiao really wanted to ignore the unpleasant words coming from behind her.
"Dad, I will study hard."
Accountant Zhao sighed and said, "You must do your best and make them envy you." When Donglai went to join the army, he didn't know how many people in the village envied him.
"Yes, let them be envious." She would definitely get into a good university and make these gossipy women envious.
Zhao Jiaojiao sat on the ox cart, swaying all the way, and finally arrived at the town middle school. She asked the guard to help watch the ox cart. Accountant Zhao carried the mat and quilt, as well as the washbasin, water cup, towel and other daily necessities that his daughter needed, and went to the girls' dormitory.
It was Teacher Wang who personally took them to the dormitory.
Zhao Jiaojiao looked at the small dormitory, which could accommodate ten people. There were wooden beds with five people sleeping on each side.
After making the bed, Accountant Zhao handed the food coupons to Zhao Jiaojiao and said goodbye to Teacher Wang.
"Come on, I'll take you to the classroom."
Before I even reached the teaching building, I heard the sound of reading.
Teacher Wang walked into the classroom, stood on the podium, and clapped his hands. The reading in the classroom stopped instantly. "A student has come to our class today. Let her introduce herself."
Zhao Jiaojiao didn't show any shyness at all. She walked over to Teacher Wang and said to the students below, "Hello, I'm Zhao Jiaojiao. I've been on leave from school due to health reasons. I look forward to your guidance in the future."
"That's your position." Zhao Jiaojiao is not tall, probably because she was born prematurely, she is only about 1.5 meters tall.
Zhao Jiaojiao walked to an empty seat and sat down.
"Continue with the class."
Zhao Jiaojiao took out the book from her schoolbag. It was the book she had just received. She took out a pen and wrote down her name.
After one class, her deskmate was a fat girl. In this era when it was difficult to get enough to eat, she was still able to gain weight, which only meant that her family was well off.
