Chapter 109
"Slowly, hurry up, we're leaving first."
"I'll be right away, wait for me."
Li Manping answered at the top of her lungs, grabbed the book bag her mother had prepared for her, and ran out the door, where several of her schoolmates were already waiting for her.
It is now the second half of 49. On a Monday morning, she has graduated from the sixth grade and will be able to go to the same school as her brothers next year.
Sister Zhou Qiao and her brothers are already second-year junior high school students, and she can stay with them for one more year.
Since I learned that she was studying hard to prepare for skipping a grade the year before last, sister Zhou Qiao also jumped into school and became classmates with her brothers.
The village has changed a lot in the past two years. There are countless new yards and more families marrying off wives. Sometimes when walking in the village, you can hear many newborns crying.
With the optimized grain seeds she quietly provided, as well as the additional income from growing and selling hemp, the overall income of the village has changed qualitatively. This can be seen from the fact that more and more children can go to school, especially after the money is abundant. , many girls also got the opportunity to go to school and learn to read.
For example, several girls in the Fan family are in school.
The four sisters of the Fan family are all fourth-grade students now. The most powerful among them is Fan Youning. She is the youngest and the best at learning. She is often seen giving lectures to her sisters. She is very smart.
"Slowly, you are the last one every time. You have to have us urge you before you move. You are too lazy."
Fang Yi was now familiar with them and noticed Li Manping's laziness. She would complain about it every time she saw her.
"Sister Fang Yi, you don't understand. I'm exhausted every day. It's good to be able to get up and go to school. Don't be too demanding. Besides, I've never been late."
Li Manping didn't agree with her words. She was very busy. She was busy optimizing seeds in the space every night. She couldn't sleep well, and of course she couldn't get up.
She has discovered that her space is special. The upper space is not big but has a lot of requirements. It requires her to dig holes and dig the ground, and it also requires her to weed.
As long as she does not enter the space for three to five days, the various weeds in the upper grassland will cover up the food seedlings she has worked so hard to grow. Even if she pulls out all the grass and digs out the roots, it will be useless. The grassland will recover in a few days. Full of green.
She also thought it was troublesome, so she took her father and brother-in-law to replace the soil where grass grows in the space. Unfortunately, things did not go as she wished. Grass would still grow on the replaced soil, which she did not like. Familiar grass.
She was so angry that she couldn't even eat and almost vomited to death.
Finally, her father and uncle confirmed that it was the default grassland in the space and could not be changed!
Because her father helps her weed every day, her mother is puzzled and wonders why her father likes to chat with her at night for more than an hour every day.
She had no choice but to let go of her father, a strong laborer, and she could only work harder on her own and go into the space to mow the grass every night.
Because it only takes five days for the weeds in the space to grow from scratch, she divided the land into four parts and cut one part of the grass every night, so that she could have a day's rest during the rotation.
Over the past two years, in addition to being used to raise chickens, the remaining grass has filled up the rest of the underground space. She needs to find time to clear it all at once.
The pheasant she raised and her chicks were killed for meat long ago. Now she is raising the hens her father found. The middle part is separated by a fence, and she raises an open space of about [-] square meters. I have hundreds of chickens, and collecting eggs every day is a hard job.
However, in the past two years, she has sold eggs and chickens for a lot of money, and now her small private coffers are full.
Now she is not worried about not having money to spend. She is only worried about not being able to spend the money. She is so helpless!
"Take your time, my dad said that we are going to have a new manager in Guangtian County. Is it true? Have you heard any news?"
Zhou Qiao took Li Manping's arm and whispered to her carefully. She knew that Li Manping's family was concerned about these things.
"Well, isn't our place liberated? Some of the previous managers ran away with the Kuomintang, and now a group of people have changed in the county."
Li Manping knew that whenever a place was liberated, local land reform would usher in. Whether her family would be safe or not depended on this period of time. As long as no one reported a frame-up, their family would be safe.
"Why do we need to change management? Didn't our previous county magistrate do a good job? My father said that he led us through such difficult days and did not make us miserable like outside."
Zhou Qiao didn't understand why the previous county magistrate couldn't continue because he was so good.
"Sister Zhou Qiao, the previous county magistrate was appointed by the Kuomintang, but now that our place is liberated, the Red Party will definitely take over the power here."
"Oh, why are you so stupid? You don't understand this. When you become an official, do you still use other people's people? You must use your own people."
Fang Yi put his hands on Zhou Qiao's shoulders and put all his body weight on him, dragging him along.
The words were a bit straightforward, but the truth was this. Li Manping chuckled, thinking that Fang Yi was quite smart sometimes.
"I understand, you go down and die again!"
Zhou Qiao shook her hand away, feeling a little worried. "I've heard before that the new official has three things to do when he takes office. I don't know what will happen to the new one. Is it good or bad?"
"Hey, let me tell you, Zhou Qiao, what's going on with you today? Why are you worried about this kind of thing? This is so far away from us, what are you thinking about?"
Fang Yi shamelessly came back and squeezed in between the two of them.
Li Manping was also confused. Sister Zhou Qiao was really weird today, why did she care about such a big thing.
"Sister Zhou Qiao, why are you..."
"I know."
Before Li Manping could finish her words, she was interrupted by her brother's words.
Li Hong and several boys had been walking a few steps ahead of them, but now they suddenly turned around and interrupted. They were stunned, and then looked at him suspiciously. Did he know?
"I really know that Zhou Qiao has fallen in love with a boy, the youngest son of the former county magistrate. I saw them talking together several times and giving each other things."
Zhou Qiao's face turned red and he lowered his head in embarrassment, fearing that his friends would laugh at him.
Li Manping opened her eyes wide. How old is Sister Zhou Qiao? Does she already have someone she likes? Is it too early?
"Let me go, how old are you, and you are so in love at a young age!"
Fang Yi was also surprised, and Tu Lu couldn't control himself and said strange things.
Li Manping suddenly turned her head, her eyes flashed, she was even more surprised than before.
Did she hear it correctly? Puppy love, does this word exist now?
Zhou Qiao twisted his fingers uncomfortably, lowered his head and explained softly,
"What is puppy love? We are just classmates. He just asked me questions that I don't know. And I am already 14 and a half years old, so I can see each other."
Li Manping knew that at this time, both men and women were getting married very early. The normal age for a man to be sixteen or seventeen and for a woman to be fifteen or sixteen was normal. It was indeed not too early to meet each other.
"No, sister, you are in puppy love like this. You are not yet an adult, at least you should be over it. You haven't gone to school yet. Are you stupid?"
Fang Yi continued to make a fuss and didn't understand Zhou Qiao. In her mind, a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old was still too young, especially when she was still a middle school student.
In her previous life, there were many girls who stayed unmarried for thirty years and lived carefree and wanton lives, unlike some girls who married early and lived a life that was worse than death. She was scared to see it.
