Escape from the desert

The dark sky is still oppressive and gloomy, the gray is like blurred eyes, and the dark clouds are squeezing the sky, as if they will fall down in the next second.

Jiang Yan gathered her clothes together, letting the howling cold wind blow past her face.

She likes cloudy days, especially cloudy days with continuous drizzle, because this kind of weather is very suitable for sleeping in, nestling in bed, thinking about nothing and doing nothing, just emptying her mind and lying down lazily. satisfaction.

It's a pity that she was busy with her career at that time, and she was basically in the state of [-]. There was no time for fun. On the contrary, now, every day is much more comfortable. Now she just eats and sleeps rua xiaodouzi every day.

After the exam, the private school also had a two-day vacation. To put it bluntly, the two-day vacation was for the masters to correct the papers.

Two days later, it was time to announce the results, and it was the first parents' meeting in the history of the private school in Linjiacun.

Jiang Yan also tidied herself up. Speaking of which, this was the first time she held a parent-teacher meeting for her child. In modern times, she was an older single woman who never had such an opportunity. Now she couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"Haozi, what ranking do you think you can get?" Lin Bei put his arms around his little cousin, joking about his new nickname, the corners of his mouth became wider and wider.

Jiang Hao pursed his lips, "I don't know, but I've written everything I can, and I've done the arithmetic several times. If nothing else, I should be in the top three!"

In the first quiz of the private school, Qiao Le re-divided the students into classes. For example, Lin Bei and Jiang Hao, who had some background, were in Class A. easy.

"Don't worry about it. Whether it's good or not, you'll know when you go to the private school. Hurry up and eat noodles."

Jiang Yan tapped the brains of several people, picked up her own noodles and ate them whole.

The weather is getting colder, and the steamed buns and steamed buns are cold as soon as they come out of the pan, so the breakfast of the big guys these days is to eat noodles and pimple soup.

"That's right, grandma! The noodles are delicious! Eat them while they're hot!"

Xiaodouzi buried his head in the noodles and quickly ate the noodles without lifting his head. His little mouth was full and he couldn't speak clearly.

"Okay, little bean, you can eat slowly, this little brain is buried in the bowl." Jiang Yan lifted the back of his neck helplessly.

The little guy has a big appetite, so he didn't want to buy a small bowl for him. He insisted on using the sea bowl with the adults. Once he put his head down, his whole head could be filled in the bowl, which always made the big guy laugh.

"Grandma, will you hold a parent-teacher meeting for me today?"

After eating and drinking, Xiaodouzi snuggled up to the side of the sofa next to Jiang Yan, her cute little face full of anticipation.

Jiang Yan pinched his face, and said, "Little Douzi, be good, today, your mother will open the parents for you, and grandma will open for Xiaobei and Erbi."

Hearing this, Xiaodouzi raised his head, swept his big eyes over Wang Jinhua, nodded and said, "That's good..."

After resting for a while, the family set off to the private school again.

Along the way, both Lin Bei and Jiang Hao were a little nervous. Thinking that Jiang Yan was going to hold a parent-teacher meeting for them, both of them were a little worried about the results of the exam.

More nervous than them were Wang Jinhua and Xie Sanniang, both of whom were honest country women who couldn't read a few big characters before.

Up to now, I still don't understand what it means to hold a parent-teacher meeting. The closer they get to the private school, the more nervous the two of them become, and their breathing is unavoidable.

In the classroom, all the students were outside the door, and the parents were all sitting in their children's seats.

There are not many women in the village, and most of them are the men from the family who come to the parent-teacher meeting. The big guys sit on the chairs and caress the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk.

I have been listening to my children say how good and interesting the school is, they can only rely on imagination, and imagine the feeling of being in it from the children's words.

Scholars are noble to them. They respect and yearn for them. No one would have thought that one day they would sit in such a place. Apart from novelty, they are more excited.

Jiang Yan was also a little excited. Although the teacher was quite different from her memory, she still felt familiar, as if she had returned to those youthful years that belonged to her alone.

On the podium, Qiao Le knocked on the table, cleared his throat, took a deep breath quietly, and said in a warm and gentle voice: "Parents, please be quiet. Thank you parents for coming to the parent meeting for cooperating with the private school's arrangement."

"I understand everyone's doubts. What is a parent meeting? Why is there a parent meeting? What's the point? These are questions that everyone wants to ask, and I will answer them one by one."

"Other private schools do not have a parent meeting, and no elders in the family will enter the private school or college, or even sit in the seat of their own children, but our private school in Linjiacun is different."

"Everyone is invited to come this time, because some time ago, many students reported that their families would not allow them to continue going to school..."

After all, Jiang Yan's factory couldn't recruit all the people in Linjia Village. There were still many poor people, and there were children of all ages in the private school.

Most ordinary people are only looking at the present, they only know that if the strong laborers at home go to study, there will be no one to work, and it will cost money, and more importantly, they will not be qualified for the scientific examination at such an age.

Many people even think that their own children will never pass the exam!

Since you can't pass the exam, isn't it a waste of time!

Qiao Le paused, then changed the topic: "It is true that there is no guarantee that every child will be famous in the imperial examination, but I can guarantee that all children who go out of the Lin family's private school will be given priority to enter the Lin family's factory."

"The private school will teach them how to read and write, do arithmetic and practice martial arts. If they don't have the talent for the imperial examination, they can find an easy job."

At this time, Jiang Yan also stood up and expressed affirmation to Qiao Le's words. The Lin family's factory must be getting bigger and bigger, and it is a rainy day to train talents now.

The eyes of the villagers below suddenly brightened. Now the work place in the Lin family factory is a good place that the big guys are thinking about, and they can go in directly when they think that the children have finished their studies.

Everyone laughed from ear to ear, and some of them who were closer to Jiang Yan couldn't help but confirm it a few times. After getting a positive answer, they kept talking about letting their children study hard!
Regarding this, Jiang Yan just smiled. The idea of ​​the common people is very simple. No matter what you do, the first thing is to make a living, whether it is farming or studying, so that you can have a good look forward to in the future.

And this way, for them, is a guarantee.
