Chapter 354: Era - There's a Time Traveling Girl Next Door 5
The reason for the quarrel next door today was actually quite simple. After the time-traveling girl came and found out which novel she had traveled to, she immediately started clamoring to go to school.
Wu Ergou didn't really want to help Wu Xiaoyun. Based on Li Dandan's understanding of that family, even if Old Mrs. Wu really took out the money, it would definitely end up in Wu Ergou's pocket.
Zhao Jinhua was reluctant to tell Li Dandan the gossip about other people's families. She always felt that Li Dandan was still young and was afraid that she would teach the child bad things.
After a few sighs, he quickly changed the subject: "Dandan, did you get your test results from school today? How did you do?"
Li Dandan followed her words and responded, "Not bad. I've improved a few places compared to the last final exam. I'm second this year!"
As she spoke, Li Dandan took out the report card and handed it to Zhao Jinhua.
When Zhao Jinhua heard this, she laughed so hard that her teeth showed.
"Okay, okay, our Dandan is really smart. As long as she maintains this grade, she'll have a better chance of getting into high school next year."
"Grandma, I not only want to go to high school, I also want to go to college.
Grandma, when I get into college, please come with me. Otherwise, can you be at ease with me being alone?"
Zhao Jinhua looked at the report card with a smile and didn't take Li Dandan's words seriously.
Children always have their own ideas.
"You haven't even started high school yet, and you're already thinking about taking the college entrance exam?
It’s still early, we’ll talk about it when the time comes.”
Li Dandan was thinking to herself that she had no intention of going to high school according to the routine procedures.
Normally, I would go to high school in 1955 and to college in 1957, and the following year would just coincide with the Great Leap Forward and the Great Steel Production Campaign.
Then what's the point of going to school? You have to do voluntary labor everywhere all day long.
She was still in college during the three-year natural disaster.
Her family would definitely be worried about her and would try every possible way to get her food.
But at that time, the commune had set up a large canteen, so where could her family get food?
Her family in this life is so good, Li Dandan can't bear to let them starve and get sick because of lack of food.
But if you only go to high school for one year, you can try to get into college in 1956 and be a junior in 1958. It would be best if you can get yourself an internship opportunity so that you can graduate in 1959.
During the three difficult years, we were able to deal with it much more calmly.
There was food in her space, and by then she had already started earning a salary, so it wouldn't be a big deal to prepare some food and drink for her family.
I no longer have to rack my brains to find excuses to get food for my family like I did when I was a student.
But this is the plan for now. It will take several years before that time comes, and even if I want to remind my family, I can't do it.
In the evening, after Li Huaiyuan and Yu Xiuzhi came back from get off work, they also asked about Li Dandan's test results.
At the dinner table, Li Dandan's grandparents, parents and grandparents praised her and encouraged her.
Li Huaiyuan took out a pair of hairpins from his pocket.
"I asked someone to buy this for me at Haishi Department Store. Come and see if you like it."
This is a pair of simple red hairpins with small white dots. In this era when hair ties are commonly used, these hairpins can be considered a very high-end item.
Li Dandan took it, looked at it, and put it next to her ear.
"I like it. This one is very expensive. Dad, do you think I look good?"
Seeing that his daughter liked it, Mr. Li was happy too.
"She's beautiful. My daughter is the prettiest. Study hard and tell me what you like. I'll buy it for you."
The whole family chatted lively for a while, watched Li Dandan play for a while, and then went back to their rooms to sleep.
On the first day of the holiday, Li Dandan slept in. When she got up, everyone in the family had finished breakfast. Some went to work, and some went for a walk.
Hearing Li Dandan getting up, Zhao Jinhua said to her through the door, "Breakfast is warming in the big pot, just take it out and eat it yourself.
Wu Xiaoyun from next door came to look for you just now. I don’t know what happened, but I heard you left before you even got up.”
Li Dandan thought, what else could it be? This time-traveling girl must have come to ask her about the original heroine, Wang Xiaomai.
But he still said, "I don't know, if there is something wrong, she should come over.
I plan to read a book at home later.
Grandma, where are my brother's textbooks for the second semester of his third year of junior high and high school? I want to take a look at the books and prepare for the lessons in advance."
When Zhao Jinhua heard Li Dandan say she wanted to read, she no longer cared about Wu Xiaoyun.
The Li family attaches great importance to their children's studies. Reading is a big deal for children, and everything else has to be put aside.
"It's in the box in your brother's room." Then he got off the kang and walked towards Li Xu's room.
"When your brother left, I packed all his things in the room into boxes to prevent them from gathering dust outside."
He opened the door of Li Xu's room and pointed to a rectangular wooden box on the ground to show Li Dandan.
"All your brother's books are here. Just look for the one you want to read later. Don't mess them up."
After seeing this, Li Dandan responded with “I know.”
In this day and age, not every child needs to buy new textbooks.
The textbooks that the eldest child has finished can be used by the second child, so the second child can pay one less textbook fee.
Li Xu's books have always been preserved very well. Li Dandan has been using Li Xu's textbooks since she started junior high school.
After breakfast, Li Dandan went to Li Xu's room to get the textbook she wanted to read, and then went back to her own room.
Li Dandan didn't leave the house for the entire morning, and was constantly sorting out the knowledge she was going to learn next.
The focus is on Chinese, history and politics. For other subjects, each dimension is not much different.
The liberal arts knowledge in parallel worlds will be somewhat different.
As long as you convert all of these, you only need to look at the current problem-solving process for science knowledge, and there will be no problem as long as you don't exceed the existing problem-solving methods during the exam.
It was almost noon when the time-traveling girl Wu Xiaoyun came again. Li Dandan heard the noise in the room, walked out, and saw Wu Xiaoyun talking to Zhao Jinhua.
Li Dandan greeted her, "Sister Xiaoyun is here. I heard you came to see me when I woke up this morning. Are you here to go out and play with me?"
Li Dandan asked this on purpose.
Li Dandan is in school and Wu Xiaoyun is working at home. Although they are neighbors, they don't have time to play together.
Moreover, Wu Xiaoyun used to look down on Li Dandan.
Actually, this is not correct. It would be more appropriate to say that she is jealous of the Li family pampering Li Dandan.
Originally, Wu Xiaoyun was influenced by her mother's old-fashioned ideas and always believed that the most important thing for a woman was to get married, have children, and take care of the family.
Li Dandan has been attending school all the time and the adults at home have spoiled her. In Wu Xiaoyun's opinion, this is not what a good woman should be like at all.
