    Zhang Hongmei finally finished sewing, and she was ashamed to see her crooked stitches.

    "That's right, it's good to sew like this for the first time, come on. Put the buns in the sewn bag and sew this one up too. It's not difficult, just need more practice." Li Juying would not say that she is so beautiful.  In other words, it is not realistic to teach her by myself, and the two villages are far apart, so it is inconvenient to run.

    This time the stitching was much better than the last one. Although the stitching was still not straight, the stitches were much denser.  Zhang Hongmei took out all the things in her coat pocket, "Aunt Li, I bought a lot of matches, candles and soap, and I will give you one as well. Don't refuse, you see, I have accepted your help, and you will also  Don't be rude to me."

    Li Juying was really greedy looking at the candles. My son used kerosene lamps to do his homework at night, which choked his nose and eyes, but he had to use industrial coupons to buy candles. Usually, the guys at home made them carefully so that they would not be able to buy them if they broke down.  The two industrial vouchers issued are not enough to do anything.  "Auntie is not polite to you, but you must accept the money, or I don't want anything else."

    Knowing the price of everything, Li Juying took out a purse-style wallet from her trousers pocket, counted out two cents from it, and handed it to Zhang Hongmei, "If you don't accept Auntie, you don't want it, but Auntie really needs these things."

    Zhang Hongmei took the money and put it in her pocket, knowing that if she didn't accept it, she would have to spend a lot of talking and talking. Most of the people nowadays are simple and simple, and besides, a cadre like her is too embarrassed to take advantage of an orphan girl.

    "Aunt Li, if you have something to do, go and do it first. I'll just go and wait outside by myself. I wear a lot of clothes and I'm not cold."

    "It's okay. It's not time to get off work. I'll wait here with you. How about I teach you how to write your name?"

    I was really sleepy and came to deliver the pillow. Zhang Hongmei was worried about how to find an excuse to learn how to read.  Yes, but where can I go if this happens? If you teach me how to read, I can stop going to school and study at home. I also envy children who can go to school, but my family¡¯s situation does not allow it.¡±

    Li Juying felt sad after hearing this, this poor child.  "It's okay. You will go back and pass by our village in a while. I will give you all the books in my elementary school. Liu Maocai in your village can read. You can ask him. There are many children in your village who go to school. You can take the time to study. It is best to go to school.  , I also know the principal of the elementary school in the village, let me ask you if you can study abroad at school in this situation, and usually study at home by yourself, and then go when the exam is in, but you can¡¯t waste it like this.¡±

    This is exactly what Zhang Hongmei wanted. As long as the school has a student status, she can skip classes, and no matter what, she has to graduate from high school when the school is closed.

    "Aunt Li, how many years have you been in elementary school now?"

    "Junior elementary school is grades one to four, and senior elementary school is grades five and six. You can study in the countryside, but you have to go to the county for junior high school and high school. Two years in junior high school and two years in high school." Why doesn't this kid know anything?  , When I go back, I must tell those bastards in my family that they really don¡¯t know how to be blessed when they are in the blessing, and they don¡¯t know how to cherish the opportunity to learn.

    Zhang Hongmei had the final say, or else she would go directly to the senior high school entrance examination during the Chinese New Year, and the junior high school entrance examination in the autumn of 1959.  Two years of junior high school will be the autumn of 1961, and two years of high school will be the autumn of 1963. This is very good and will not delay anything.  "Aunt Li, everything is troublesome for you. I will go to your house to borrow books today. I will study first before I am enlightened. Please help me ask the school if I can study directly at home and take the exam then."

    "Middle, I will ask you tonight, and you should learn at home first. Let me tell you, this person has to be literate. If it weren't for my literacy, why would I be a Women's Federation? Just Wang Jian  The mother-in-law of the country is about to suffer from pink eye disease, but who made her illiterate? The eyes are also blind."

    It seems that Wang Jianguo is really unpopular.  "Aunt Li, whose portrait is on the wall?"

    "It belongs to a great man? Have you never seen it?"

    Zhang Hongmei's heart skipped a beat. This is not a great man from her previous life at all. In fact, she saw the portrait when she first came in, but she thought it was a portrait of a scientist or a leader, so she didn't think about the great man at all.  Cursive script, so I didn't go to read it carefully.

    "Aunt Li, what is the name of the great man? No one has ever mentioned it to me."

    "The great man's name is Zhou Shixiong, the chairman, and the prime minister is Zheng Pu. There are eight other generals who joined the revolution with the chairman, and there is also a female general." Looking at Li Juying's proud expression, Zhang Hongmei was in a trance.  This is really not the previous world, this is the parallel space, I secretly fantasized about going to find my parents.

    "Red Plum""What's wrong with you?  I have called you several times.  "

    "It's okay, Aunt Li, I was in a daze just now. It would be great if I knew the deeds of great people."

    "It's not difficult, I have it at home, but you can't read now, you will know when you read. I will also lend you this book today. Oh, the meeting is finally over, Hongmei read it quickly.  " Li Juying pointed out.

    Zhang Hongmei also did not explain that she is literate.  "Yeah, the meeting is finally over. It's not easy being the village chief. Just like my third uncle has to worry about everything in our village every day. The big guys come to him when they have something to do. I have to come to the meeting from time to time."

    "It's not like that. There are still few people in your village? Like Dawan Village, there are hundreds of people? Although their village is rich, there are many things to do when there are many people. How can you say that there is no conflict? The parents of the east and the family of the west are short  Yes, although their village head has always been the old Qian family, not everyone listens to him, and Qian Zhiguo is even more tired." The two went out after talking, and Liu Maocai and Zhang Hongqi saw that they were from the Women's Federation.  Zhang Hongmei who came out was relieved.

    "Hongmei, when did you come back?"

    "Third Master, I came back after two o'clock. You and my Uncle Zhang haven't eaten yet, right? The sugar buns I bought outside, Aunt Li baked the sugar buns for me by the stove just now, so hurry up and eat them."

    "That's right, Lao Liu and Lao Zhang, you two went into the house to make up for it. After eating, let's go together. I will lend my eldest son's primary school textbook to Hongmei, and you, Lao Liu, will take it back."

    "Then thank you, Comrade Li, and come back with us in a bullock cart." After Liu Maocai finished speaking, he entered the office of the Women's Federation, and Zhang Hongqi followed behind.  When they saw the snow-white buns, both of them were surprised?  This side is really white.  It looks delicious, and the stomach that has been hungry for a day can finally be relieved.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
