Ordinary countryside reborn

Chapter 163 It’s strange that in the 21st century there are still people who don’t have enough to eat.

Before Qi Xiaohong could think of how to get out of this embarrassing situation, Li Mei came over with Tian Jing.

"Meet a friend? Why are you standing here so still? Go sign up first."

Qi Hong looked at Tian Yuan in surprise: "You also go to school here? Why haven't I seen you before? What major are you studying?"

She asked several questions in a row, but before Tian Yuan answered, Li Mei said with a smile: "She is not here to attend school. We are here to see my eldest daughter off. Xiaojing, come here and meet the two new classmates."

Li Mei waved to Tian Jing who followed reluctantly, and Tian Jing came over yawning, "Hello, you guys go to school here too. How is school? Is it fun?"

----

With the guidance of an acquaintance, Tian Jing quickly registered and chose the accounting major according to Tian Yuan's recommendation. Most of the people who signed up for this major were girls, while the computer majors in the class next to them were all boys.

"Sister Jing, why did you choose such a major? It seems difficult to learn at first glance. You might as well choose an art major with us. Painting is fun."

The friendship between Qi Xiaohong and Tian Jing was established very quickly, and the two have begun to treat each other like sisters. This is also Tian Jing's talent. As long as she is willing, she can "hit it off" with anyone.

The two of them are about the same height, about 1.5 meters and a half, which is very small compared to Qi Hong next to them.

Qi Hong is 1.6 meters tall, a little chubby, and has dimples on her face. When she purses her lips to talk, the dimples are looming, and they become more obvious when she smiles. She followed the two of them with a good temper and listened to their conversation.

"Let's learn and see first. I didn't come to school just to have fun, and there is already an art student in our family. I have to learn something different."

Tian Jing looked at the bustling students on the playground and didn't have much expectations for the upcoming campus life. She still liked the freedom outside rather than being locked up in school to study.

Qi Hong interjected: "There is an art student in your family? Isn't it Tianyuan?"

Tian Yuan and Li Mei were walking behind and were talking about enrolling in No. [-] Middle School later. They asked Li Mei and Tian Jing to go to the store first to help their aunt. When they heard Qi Hong calling her name, Tian Yuan looked over in confusion. .

Qi Hong waited for her to come over and asked curiously: "Tian Yuan, does your school also have an art major? Are the teachers great?"

Not sure what it means to be great, Tian Yuan said: "...It's quite powerful."

A few people walked and chatted, and soon left the school gate.

Until they separated, Qi Xiaohong didn't say another word to Tian Yuan, as if they didn't know each other, and just kept talking to Tian Jing.

Tianyuan was too lazy to deal with such a bad-tempered child, so he told a few others and went to the school to register himself.

When school started, classes were divided into liberal arts classes. Tian Yuan chose the liberal arts class without hesitation. The person in charge of registration was a fair-skinned, plump female teacher whom Tian Yuan had never seen before.

Most of the people who came to sign up in the morning were freshmen, and those in their second and third years of high school usually came in the afternoon. The female teacher was curious about why Tianyuan came so early, so she took out a blank form and asked Tianyuan to fill in his name on the form.

"Teacher, you don't have to come over tomorrow. School won't officially start until the day after tomorrow, right?"

Tianyuan wrote down her name one by one, not knowing which class Fang Yue was assigned to. She had no idea if there would be any acquaintances in her class.

"Yes, these two days are registration time. Classes and dormitories will be divided into classes and dormitories by the registration deadline tomorrow. You can bring your things over in the morning and have self-study in the evening." The female teacher said some more precautions. When Tianyuan left, she turned back He said to the only teacher in the office: "Tsk tsk, Teacher Xiao, look at this student, he looks really dark, his fingers are all black, and he has a short haircut. When he didn't speak, I thought he was a boy." .”

"Haha, Teacher Ye, you may not be used to it since you just came to the city. The children here are generally darker, and they usually have to go to the fields to do farm work."

Teacher Xiao's tone was slightly sarcastic, "It's not like the children in the city who don't even know what a pig looks like."

"That's not the case. I know what pigs are like. But since they are all in high school, why do those parents still let them work in the fields? Aren't they afraid of delaying their college entrance examination?" Teacher Ye asked doubtfully.

"We are a poor county here, especially the villagers in several nearby towns. For them, the fields are the life of their families."

While sorting out the information, Teacher Xiao couldn't help but sigh: "In this situation, the whole family depends on the harvest for eating, drinking and eating. What if they don't help with the work? Many families have not even solved the problem of food and clothing. If it were not for the implementation of the nine-year compulsory education system, many children would not even go to junior high school."

For this reason, high school tuition is many times more expensive than junior high school, which prohibits most families.

It seems that it is boring to talk too much, and people who don’t understand will still not understand. Teacher Xiao finally said: "Children from poor families have long been the masters. You will get used to it the more you see it."

Teacher Ye curled his lips and looked disapproving.

We have entered the 21st century. If we can’t support our families by doing anything, why do we need to depend on the weather like the older generation did in the past?

According to her, those who are too poor to eat are either lazy or stupid, and no one can blame them.

"Auntie, I have to ask you to help me look after the store in the future. Brother Jun doesn't have time to come to the store recently. I have to live in school tomorrow, but I will come to the store when I get my monthly vacation. The prices of these clothes are marked on... "

When Tian Yuan entered the store, he saw Tian Jing and Li Juan explaining things, while Li Mei was helping to sort out the clothes.

Li Mei invited her sister to look after the store, and the two discussed the income issue for a long time.Li Mei directly said that whatever Li Juan earned during the period of looking after the store would belong to her. Li Mei thought simply. Tian Jing had to go to school and couldn't look after the store. She had to be busy with things at home and couldn't stay in the town. She also had to trouble Li Juan. , so it’s all due.

Li Juan did not agree, feeling that she could not take such a huge advantage. The two argued with red faces and pushed back and forth. In the end, they agreed on [-]% to [-]%, and Li Mei received [-]%.

"I understand all this. Don't worry, Xiaojing. Besides, your mother is here to help watch."

Li Juan took what Tian Jing handed over to her and said cheerfully.

Li Mei said to Li Juan with a smile: "She just doesn't want to go to school. She wants to show off her abilities here so that I know this store is for her."

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Tian Jing with a serious look, "Just go to school in peace, I have nothing to do with you here."

Seeing Tian Yuan coming, Li Mei asked: "Yuan Yuan, have you finished signing up?"

"After we're done, let's go buy some groceries first. We'll have lunch at your aunt's house later, and then come back to the store in the afternoon."

Tian Yuan nodded and was about to speak when Tian Jing beat him to it, "You go ahead. I'm going to guard the store here. Just bring me a bowl of rice when you finish eating."

She is inseparable from this store, and no one can separate her and her store!
