Yang Xiaole heard the sound and looked towards the door.

He saw Zhang Liu'er standing at the door.

Yang Xiaomei looked at Zhang Liu'er outside and suddenly remembered something. She said to him, "Oh, I forgot to tell you. Zhang Liu'er came to look for you yesterday."

Yang Xiaole felt strange and asked as he stood up, "What did she say she wanted to find me for?"

"She didn't say!"

"Oh, let me go and see!"

Yang Xiaole muttered to himself and walked out of the door.

When he arrived at the door and saw Zhang Liu'er standing there, he felt even more puzzled. "What's wrong? Do you need something from me?"

Although Zhang Liu'er was not fat, she was not as thin as the people here.

Zhang Laohan worked at the agency store. Although he didn't earn much money, he never lacked food.

He decided how many eggs to collect during the autumn harvest.

So this girl never lacked eggs to eat.

Zhang Liu'er looked at him happily and said, "My dad agreed to let me go to school, but I missed half a year of classes. I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up, so I want you to help me with my studies. Our school thinks you're the smartest."

"Ah, Uncle Zhang is sending you to school?"

"Yes!"

Seeing the happy expression on the other person's face, Yang Xiaole thought for a moment and asked softly, "Who were those two people that day? They called you Mengmeng. I'm just asking casually, if you don't want to say, forget it."

Zhang Liu'er looked complicated.

"It's not that I can't say it. Everyone in the production brigade knows. They are my parents!"

Then she explained the situation.

Zhang Liu'er was not actually picked up by Zhang Laohan.

Her parents left her with Zhang Laohan when they followed the army to fight. At that time, Zhang Laohan's daughter-in-law had not died yet.

A few years ago, Zhang Liu'er's parents came to take her back.

Zhang Laohan refused to give her back no matter what, even if they offered money.

But since Zhang Laohan had raised his own daughter for so many years and also considered her feelings, he didn't force them.

And so they remained at a stalemate for several years.

After listening, Yang Xiaole understood.

For Zhang Liu'er, she must have longed for her parents. After all, her biological parents had sent her to the countryside because of difficulties, not because they abandoned her.

And she also considered Zhang Laohan's feelings and never said anything when her biological parents came.

"Hey, I'm talking to you! Can you help me or not?"

Zhang Liu'er looked at his expression as he listened to the story and felt speechless.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Xiaole decided that he didn't plan to go anywhere recently anyway. So he nodded and agreed.

He would have to rely on this little rich girl to handle things for him in the future!

And she only missed half a year, mainly in arithmetic. There wasn't much to catch up on in Chinese, just new words and reading. The content was simple.

"Okay, but there's not much time, just a few days. I won't be able to cover much."

"It's okay. If I don't understand anything after I start school, I'll come find you!" Zhang Liu'er smiled and said quietly, "Let me borrow your books from last year. I have to go now. It's almost time for dinner!"

Yang Xiaole nodded and walked towards his house.

"Third Brother, why did she come to find you?"

Back in the house, Big Sister glanced outside and casually asked.

Yang Xiaole replied nonchalantly, "Oh, didn't she stop going to school before? She's going to school again this year and wants me to help her with her studies!"

Upon hearing this, Big Sister smirked and said, "Well, you two get along well. This girl has a big butt, she looks like she can bear children."

Yang Xiaole was stunned for a moment and then rolled his eyes.

"You can think of anything."

According to her age, she was already 13 years old. In the modern world, she would already be in the second year of junior high school. Her body had also developed.

But no matter what, he wouldn't be interested in a little girl!

Appreciation was one thing, but girls change a lot when they grow up. What if she turns out to be not so good-looking in the future!

Don't be fooled by those skinny little girls, there are always a few who will turn out to be beautiful when they grow up.

Big Sister had a normal expression, "That's true. Xiaole will go to university in the future and find a beautiful city girl there."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole ignored her and went into the house to take out the books from last semester.

He came outside and Zhang Liu'er took the books and flipped through them. She smiled and said, "As expected, they are as clean as your face, just like new. Thank you! I'll bring you some candy tomorrow!"

After speaking, she happily bounced away.

Yang Xiaole smiled as he watched her leave.

Joking aside, even if he hadn't gone to university in his past life, it would be a waste to have to take notes for elementary school questions.

He turned around and was about to go back to the courtyard.

"Xiaole, come here, the team leader is looking for you."

Just as he was about to go in, Big Brother stood not far away and walked towards him.

Yang Xiaole knew what it was about as soon as he heard it.

He walked towards the other person.

When they got closer, Yang Xiaole asked, "What's up?"

"Oh, the team leader is looking for you, he said to go over."

"Okay, let's go!"

Then the two of them walked towards the brigade committee.

When they arrived, Wang Qiuju and her group were in the large courtyard, making baskets out of reeds, while others were making hemp ropes.

They were preparing for the autumn harvest.

Most of them were the village's older women, and Yang Xiaole's own mother was among them.Mother Wang Qiuju was sitting next to Yang Qingwu's daughter-in-law, Sun Yulan, far away from Tian Cuihua and Sun Xiuhe, and Zhao Jinhua.

At this moment, Wang Qiuju was speaking indifferently to her fourth aunt, Sun Xiuhe!

"Fourth Brother's family, whether our family has eaten sugar or canned food, it seems to have nothing to do with you, right? You said that our eldest brother gave us things. Let's not talk about whether he gave them or not. Even if he did, it's his business. Do you want to take charge of our eldest brother's family? Ask Fourth Brother if he is willing?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter from the crowd.

Search bit.ly/3iBfjkV for the original.

"Yeah, I think Guang'an definitely wouldn't want that. Haha!"

"............"

......

Upon hearing these words, Sun Xiuhe's face turned iron blue: "Third Brother's family, if you talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth."

Wang Qiuju looked indifferent: "Let everyone judge, whether what I said makes sense. Not to mention you, apart from my father, it's a favor if others give, and it's their duty if they don't. If you think it's too little, go talk to our eldest brother."

She was still angry about the last time they took her pig!

I won't indulge you.

And you're still talking about this, aren't you ashamed?

When Yang Xiaole and others came in and heard this, the corners of their mouths twitched.

This group of young ladies and daughters-in-law, when they get together, they speak very fiercely. If it weren't for the children nearby, their words would be even more unpleasant!

When the village women quarrel, they sometimes speak the same way even when the children are there.

"Xiaole, come here! I have something to discuss with you! Come and see how to arrange the classroom. From now on, classes will be held here in the Production Team."

Yang Qingwen was standing at the gate, waving at him.

......

Seeing this, the others laughed and joked.

"Ouch! We'll have to call him teacher from now on!"

"Yeah, Teacher Xiaole."

"Xiaole, you must teach well, so we can find you a fertile daughter-in-law in the future."

"That's right, I'll pick a good one for you, guaranteed to have a thick waist and big buttocks."

......

Hearing the jokes of the crowd, Yang Xiaole felt his scalp tingle!

Ignoring these people, he came to the gate: "Grandpa!"

Yang Qingwen nodded, pointed to the storage room next to him, and said: "The school of the team will be there in the future. Tell me what you need, I will get the things back in these two days. School is about to start in a few days. Whether our Production Team can achieve literacy advancement depends on you!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole felt a headache.

The literacy class is not just a few people, but the whole village. Even the elderly have to recognize 1500 characters. This is not an ordinary difficulty!

It's almost an impossible task.

He could only helplessly say: "Well, Grandpa, the problem is that I have to be able to teach!"

Yang Qingwen's face became serious: "This is a task assigned by the superiors, it must be completed. Whoever can't learn will have their Work Points deducted, one point for each character. If you can recognize half of the required characters, you won't be deducted. If you recognize more than half, you will be rewarded half a point for each additional character. There will be supervisors from the superiors to assess this later."

He also knew it was difficult, but it had to be done!

Yang Xiaole knew he had misunderstood. What he meant by being able to teach was not that he couldn't teach, but that they couldn't learn.

After all, they are all of such an old age.

1500 characters, this is already the level of the fourth grade of primary school.

But the reward of Work Points is quite substantial.

The half required for the task is 750 characters, and the remaining characters reward half a point, which is equivalent to 375 Work Points, which is more than a month's full Work Points for a normal man.

And the people in the Large Courtyard, hearing that they would be deducted Work Points if they couldn't learn, suddenly wailed.

These people have all gone through the previous two literacy campaigns.

But it wasn't as strict as this time.

Yang Xiaole looked at the people present, thought about what he needed, and asked him: "Grandpa, we definitely need textbooks for school, and the students need exercise books and pencils."

These are not cheap, a book costs 8 Fen, a pencil costs 5 Fen. Together they cost more than one Jiao.

"I know that, I will go to the Commune to get them. There are textbooks issued by the superiors. I'm asking you what else you need for class? Chalk? Blackboard? Anything else?"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole nodded: "Hmm, haven't we done it before? Just these things, and make sure there are enough oil lamps."

Yang Qingwen nodded, they had done it before, after all, it had been so long.

"Alright, I'll have someone clean up the things tomorrow. You write some slogans on the wall for me, make them look good, full of momentum and determination. There might be people from the Commune coming to inspect."

Yang Xiaole rolled his eyes.

This is the main purpose, right!

Alright!

I'll think about it when I get back!

"Okay, I got it, I'll think about it when I get back."

I need to put the fishing net back as soon as possible, otherwise it won't be good if it's seen when cleaning up tomorrow.

Yang Qingwen nodded lightly, "Alright, dinner's ready, let's eat."

After saying that, he came to the big tree next to him, took an iron stick and hit a large bell, making a piercing sound.

In a short while, a group of children rushed in with baskets and bowls.

Naturally, Xi Zi from Yang Xiaole's family was the first to rush over.

Seeing this, the women in the Large Courtyard also put away their work, patted their buttocks and got up to prepare for dinner.
