Chen Zhiqiu also thought that it would be better not to go to such a school.
Even if they go to school as two children, they will be isolated or bullied.
It’s just a pity that the two children heard me discussing with their father about sending them to school yesterday.
He could not forget the bright eyes of the children at that time, eyes that were eager to go to school.
I could only sigh helplessly: "Your cousins heard yesterday that they could be sent to school and were so happy all night. Now... forget it, if they don't want to go to school, then they don't have to go. It's the same if they study at home."
Xu Nanxing felt that his uncle had a narrow mindset: "Uncle! Learning isn't limited to school. You can learn a lot in other places! Besides, all the learned scholars have been overthrown. How many knowledgeable and responsible teachers are left in the school?"
I’m afraid those who are educated have to pretend to be uneducated; those who were very responsible before probably don’t dare to take responsibility at all now!
Being a teacher has become a high-risk profession. Everyone is in danger and dares not to take care of the students.
"That's right. I can discipline my own children strictly. It's indeed better than the current teachers."
"It's not just you and grandpa who can teach. You can also ask someone else to help you teach!"
"Looking for someone else?"
"Yeah! Where did all those overthrown intellectuals go?"
"Yes!" Chen Zhiqiu suddenly understood.
It's not that he didn't think about it, but when he was on the farm before, both adults and children had to work. The work done by children was lighter, but the farm managers knew exactly what they did every day.
Both children are still young and are learning the courses for the lower grades of elementary school. They can teach them alone, so they have never thought about looking for professors and scholars who have been sent to the farm to help teach the children.
Now that we are in the village, the management is not so strict. In the future, our children can also seek teaching from the senior intellectuals who have been sent here!
This gave Chen Zhiqiu a new idea, and Xu Nanxing handed over the things he brought this time to him.
Today, preparations for my grandfather's house have begun, and they have started rolling adobe bricks.
The local houses are all made of adobe, which are warm in winter and cool in summer. They also build houses according to local methods.
The most troublesome thing is the roof tiles. You have to use your connections to buy them, because most people have to wait a long time if they want to buy them.
If that's the case, then we can only ask the male protagonist for help.
After all, among all the people she knows, the male protagonist is the most popular!
Xu Nanxing said he would provide food, so he carried 20 kilograms of sorghum and 20 kilograms of corn grits.
This corn grits was from the batch of grain she received from the village committee on her first day in the countryside.
She couldn't eat anything, so she just brought it here to provide food for the people who helped her.
People cannot eat only corn grits. They can mix the two grains and cook them together.
In addition to food, she also brought a bag of salt, a can of soybean paste, an iron pot, a spatula, 4 straw mats, a bottle of mosquito repellent and a plate of mosquito coils.
The things in front are used for cooking, and the straw mats brought in the back are for grandpa and others to use as cushions on the ground when they sleep at night.
It's summer now, so there's no problem sleeping on the floor. Just put a straw mat on the floor and cover yourself with a thin blanket.
To prevent mosquitoes, she also prepared mosquito repellent and mosquito coils.
Fortunately, she had been carrying pig grass every day during this period and had gained some training. Otherwise, these things would be quite heavy and she might not be able to carry them.
After giving all the things to her uncle, she didn't want to stay any longer. After making sure that she didn't need anything for the time being, she left along the path.
Fortunately, she had a map and didn't meet anyone else along the way.
The keeper of the cowshed is an old man. I heard that the village asked him to work as a keeper in the cowshed in order to take care of him. He gets work points and a house to live in.
The old man was very kind and was not overly surprised to see Xu Nanxing. He nodded as a greeting.
Seeing this, Xu Nanxing was not surprised that the male protagonist came here often. Since the breeder lived here, he would have met him anyway. As a result, no news of it spread out in the village.
I guess this old man is not a nosy person.
She felt relieved.
After delivering the afternoon pig feed, Xu Nanxing went to the tambourine maker's house.
We made an appointment before, so I can go pick up the quilt that has been made ready today.
But at that time she was talking to Aunt Wang and sold her 8 kilograms of cotton.
After putting 8 kilograms of long-staple cotton into the backpack and spreading some grass on it, Xu Nanxing went to Wang's house.
As soon as she arrived at Wang's house, Aunt Wang's eyes lit up when she saw Xu Nanxing coming over with a backpack.
He immediately pulled her into the house.
Aunt Wang whispered, "Xu Zhiqing, what's in your backpack..."
Xu Nanxing didn't say anything, just nodded, and pulled away the grass on top of the backpack, revealing the white cotton underneath.
When Aunt Wang took a look, she found that it was indeed the cotton with long fibers that Xu Nanxing had brought last time. When she touched it, she found that it was very flexible.
I weighed the cotton and it really weighed 8 kilograms.
Aunt Wang happily paid 30 yuan and said that if there was more of this kind of cotton, she could sell it to her.
Xu Nanxing did not comment, but only said that this kind of cotton was very popular and not easy to get, and this time it was purely luck.
She didn't want to just sell raw materials. The cotton in the supply and marketing cooperative was 3 yuan per catty, and she needed a ticket.
Selling 8 kilograms for 30 yuan doesn’t seem like much profit, so Xu Nanxing still plans to weave it into cloth or even make it into ready-made clothes and then sell them.
Anyway, she has a machine, and it is fully automatic. She doesn't need to spend any effort at all. She just needs to put the cotton in and it will start working automatically with one click.
The ready-made clothes in the space, such as T-shirts, jeans, dresses, and trendy brands, which were obtained from clothing wholesale markets, are not suitable for this era at all. I will wait until around 1980 to sell them out.
After selling the cotton to Aunt Wang, Xu Nanxing returned home with the three quilts he had made.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Xiao Huzi chopping wood in the yard.
Xu Nanxing was a little surprised: "Xiao Huzi, why are you here?"
Xiaoyu: "Sister Nanxing, Brother Huzi is here to help us chop firewood! My hands have been weak these days, so Brother Huzi has been here to help chop firewood!"
Only then did Xu Nanxing remember that the earthen stove used by the Ye family had to be burned with firewood.
She had neglected this before. The firewood in the house was prepared by the two little ones, and she didn't help at all, which made her a little ashamed.
Looking at Xiao Yetian's hand again, it seemed that he could not lift it up.
Xu Nanxing asked worriedly, "Xiaotian, what happened to your hand?"
"It's okay, Sister Xu. I just overexerted myself when chopping wood. It will be fine in a couple of days."
Xu Nanxing was still worried, but there was only a barefoot doctor in the village and one medical station in the town, so he couldn't find a regular doctor at all.
However, is there a doctor in the cowshed at the back of the mountain who can help?
