Chapter 211
In September, Weisheng happily went to school, carrying her small floral-print schoolbag. Because she was so young, her grandparents, parents, and grandparents were worried about her and would pick her up and drop her off every day.
In the morning, her father rode his bicycle to take her to school. In the afternoon, when school was over, her mother would be waiting at the school gate.
The bike ride from Qixing Village to Qingwa Town takes over 20 minutes, so Weisheng doesn't go home for lunch. However, there's no cafeteria at the elementary school, so Weisheng brings his own lunch to and from school every day.
Weisheng's deskmate was a seven-year-old boy named Pang Zhou, whose home was in Qingwa Town.
Pang Zhou has three older brothers. I heard that the eldest brother went to the south, the second brother is learning to drive and repair cars from relatives, and the third brother is a fourth-grade student in their elementary school.
Having an older brother attending the same primary school, Pang Zhou was as proud as a little peacock.
When the teacher was assigning seats, he raised his paw and wanted to sit with Weisheng.
The reason is that Weisheng is the prettiest girl in their class.
Coincidentally, Weisheng also thought so.
In this atmosphere of heroes thinking alike, Weisheng and Pangzhou became deskmates.
Pang Zhou was very active, moving around a lot during class, and after class he would run out like a baby out of a cage. Then, on the first day they sat together, Weisheng regretted it.
Except for Pang Zhou, all the kids in the first grade are the kind that would cry at the slightest provocation and would fight if they weren't careful.
Weisheng's head is buzzing with the noise of his classmates every day, and he keeps choosing between taking a leave of absence and skipping a grade.
She doesn't want to be a child prodigy in her life, she just wants to live a contented life.
It is enough to have parents and elders who love you, brothers and sisters who care about you, two or three good friends who you can talk to, and a compatible lover.
One, take a leave of absence and go home, then return to school every year to take exams.
2. Skip a grade and go directly to the second grade.
Third, endure it for a year, and then go to the second grade with these little brats next year.
Just when Weisheng was making a choice, the most unbearable scene happened.
Their class teacher actually physically punishes students.
The naughty Pang Zhou and several other male classmates were called to the podium by their class teacher, and then kicked each of them in front of the whole class.
They were all seven or eight-year-old children, how could they withstand the big pig's hoof of an adult man? Pang Zhou and his friends were kicked to the ground, but their class teacher pulled them up by the collar and kicked them again.
Weisheng knew that in the 1970s and 1980s, teachers in some remote areas often beat and scolded their students. They didn't think they were wrong, and some parents even said to teachers, "I've entrusted my child to you. If he doesn't obey, you can just beat and scold him."
This will further encourage the practice of corporal punishment.
Looking at the corporal punishment happening right in front of him, Weisheng's beautiful almond-shaped eyes couldn't help but narrow.
I, with my explosive temper, didn't do anything to these little brats who were spitting and quarreling. You, a grown man who is a teacher, actually resorted to corporal punishment... I can tolerate this, but my eldest niece can't tolerate it either.
When she returned home that night, Weisheng told her parents about the class teacher's corporal punishment of a classmate, and then she heard them talk about the class teacher's background.
It turned out that their class teacher was actually an educated youth from the village below. After the resumption of the college entrance examination, he took the exam for two years but failed to be admitted to university, so he gave up reluctantly.
After that, many teachers in the primary school and the town middle school passed the exam and left, so he made some efforts and got into the town primary school.
If you count carefully, he and Weisheng entered school in the same year.
Although they don't take other people's children being beaten seriously, Weisheng's grandparents and parents absolutely cannot tolerate their own child being beaten.
But since their old boy is so well behaved, no one would be willing to let him go.
Compared to the other kids, Weisheng was not only well-behaved but also exceptionally clever. He learned everything the teacher taught him instantly. Therefore, his homeroom teacher, who loved corporal punishment, was particularly fond of Weisheng. If Weisheng weren't so young and in poor health, he would have chosen him as class monitor.
Weisheng didn't care how much the head teacher liked her. After the head teacher physically punished the children in the class for the second time, Weisheng took action.
Weisheng calmly broke one of the head teacher's legs.
It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. At least this semester, he can forget about kicking seven or eight-year-old kids.
After the head teacher who liked corporal punishment was dealt with, a substitute teacher came to the class.
Because he was worried that the teacher might have some bad habits, Weisheng gave up other ideas and decided to finish the first grade of elementary school step by step.
After being punished twice by the head teacher, the other kids in the class seemed to have behaved better. Especially her deskmate Pang Zhou, he was not as naughty as before.
But it seems that he still can't sit still.
…
Meanwhile, not long after the college entrance exams were reinstated, the village disbanded its production teams and distributed all the land among the villagers. No longer needing supervision to work, the workers' efficiency increased exponentially.
Since Weisheng started school, Grandma Lu has been able to work in the fields with the rest of the family. Without the so-called work points, she works even harder.
Not counting private plots, each person has two mu of land. The two university graduates in the family have already moved their household registration, so when the land was divided, the Wei family got exactly ten mu.
Ten acres of land is not a lot, but for those who work on it, it is not a small amount either.
Fortunately, except for Wei Sheng, everyone in the Wei family was a good worker. They worked the fields from dawn to dusk, and the harvest was even more impressive than when they were in the production team, and it was all theirs.
Wei Lan and Wei Lei both came back during the winter and summer vacations, and they were able to help with a lot of housework.
They received a stipend for school, and their family would give them some money whenever they went out. It wasn't much, but it was enough for them to use in emergencies. And every time they came back from school, they would buy gifts for the whole family.
Such as specialties from Shanghai or Xi'an, and daily necessities that can only be bought in big cities.
Weisheng was the eldest child in the family. She had never cried or made a fuss since she was little, and she was very cute. Therefore, Weilan and Weilei loved this little sister very much, and every time they came home, they would bring her a lot of food and daily necessities.
When they came back from winter vacation this time, they heard that their little sister had started school early. The brother and sister were stunned for a moment, and then asked Weisheng to bring the first-grade textbook. The brother and sister took turns to test Weisheng.
After that, the brother and sister both felt that their son was born to be a student.
Throughout the winter vacation, the brother and sister stayed at home to give Weisheng small lessons, except for helping with housework or meeting with their childhood friends in the village and town.
The textbooks hadn't changed in recent years, so the siblings took turns tutoring Weisheng. By the time school was about to start, they had already taught him all the knowledge he'd learned in third grade. Afterward, the siblings directly mentioned to Wei Shi'an that Weisheng should skip a grade.
He's only six years old after this year. Isn't it a bit too early?
Wei Shian looked at his daughter and son, then turned to look at his own father, mother, and wife, and finally said earnestly, "Your grandparents and I don't have too many requirements for Shengsheng. She was born weak, and we dare not let her get tired.
If I can learn something in the future, I will go and serve the motherland like you. If I can't learn anything in the future, I will stay with my mother and me and enjoy her company."
Their eldest daughter and son had already passed their college entrance exams, and even if they were assigned jobs in the future, they certainly wouldn't be reassigned. Their daughter was a premature baby, and the doctor at the town hospital had said at birth that she needed to be carefully cared for. Studying is hard work, and they were genuinely worried about exhausting their daughter.
Nowadays, individual businesses are everywhere. They will open a small shop for their daughter in the town and make a living in the same way.
Wei Lan/Wei Lei: "..."
Weisheng: “…”
In the end, they all took a step back. Weisheng did not skip to the third grade as Weilan and the others had hoped, nor did he proceed step by step as Wei Shian had hoped. Instead, he jumped directly to the second grade when school started.
In March, he skipped from the second semester of the first grade to the second semester of the second grade. This way, when school starts in September, Weisheng can go directly to the third grade.
Regarding this result, it seems that they have taken a step back, but in fact, Wei Lan and Wei Lei are planning to continue tutoring their little sister when they return from summer vacation...
On the other hand, after Wei Shi'an sent his eldest daughter and eldest son off to school, as well as his oldest daughter who had skipped a grade, he talked to his parents and daughter-in-law about buying a house in town.
It doesn't matter whether you buy it early or late, so you might as well buy it early. Then, when my daughter goes to middle school in town, she won't have to live in the school dormitory.
That’s okay!
After the four members of the Wei family voted unanimously in favor, they all started to look for houses separately.
Since this house will be used to open a small shop for Weisheng in the future, the first choice is a house facing the street.
The best one is one with a small shop in the front and a yard and living quarters in the back.
Although many people have started small businesses, housing prices across the country have not yet risen, let alone houses in small towns like theirs.
So not long after school started, the Wei family used the money that Weisheng thought was enough to buy cabbage sticks to buy a street-facing shop.
Originally, he had thought of using this shophouse to open a small shop for Weisheng in the future, but after buying it, he unexpectedly let Zhou Ruixue, who accompanied him to study, open a tailor shop first.
Entering from the front, you'll first see a tailor's shop. Passing through the door behind the shop, you'll find a medium-sized courtyard with a pumped well. At the back of the courtyard are three bungalows, with a warehouse on each side.
This house is enough for living or doing business.
Later, Weisheng overheard Wei Shian and Zhou Ruixue talking, and found out that the house was the dowry they, as parents, prepared for their youngest daughter.
My heart suddenly became soft and limp.

The primary school courses were as easy as playing. Weisheng did not establish himself as a child prodigy, but he did establish his brother and sister as such.
Therefore, everyone in the primary school knew that Weisheng was able to skip a grade thanks to his older siblings' tutoring.
At the age of eight, Weisheng was admitted to the town's junior high school. After that, Weilan and Weilei lost their winter and summer vacations after being assigned jobs, so Weisheng never skipped a grade again.
However, junior high and high school are both two-year programs now, so there is really no need to skip any grades.
After studying for four years according to the routine, Weisheng took part in the college entrance examination that year, with his grandparents, parents and others telling him not to be nervous and to review if he failed.
With the exception of the first three classes, foreign language exams have been included in every subsequent Gaokao. The only difference is whether it's English, Russian, or another lesser-known language.
Although he had never taken the college entrance examination so late in the years since he traveled through time, Weisheng was not afraid at all.
By the way, Wei Lan and Wei Lei have both taken leave and are preparing to help Wei Sheng apply for the exam personally.
They said they were afraid that Weisheng didn't understand, so Wei's father and the others gave him random suggestions.
