hunting in 1986

Chapter 29

It's just after 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and there is no one else at home, so the little girl is at home by herself.

"Where are parents and Xiaoqing?"

Wang Yuan returned to the courtyard with the bamboo basket on his back, and quickly closed the gate to prevent the chickens from running out.

Like a little tail, the little girl followed Wang Yuan step by step: "Mom and Dad went to work in the fields, and Eldest Sister went to school."

"School!? Oh, high school starts."

Wang Yuan went into the room and washed his face. While wiping his face, he glanced at the rough hand-torn calendar card—September 1986, 9.

The eldest sister, Wang Qing, didn't get into the technical secondary school, but she managed to get into high school.

Last year, that is, in 1985, Zhongyang promulgated the "Decision on the Reform of the Educational System", deciding to make nine-year compulsory education a fundamental cause of the four modernizations, but it is still far from the implementation of nine-year compulsory education in rural areas.

It was not until 2006 that the "Compulsory Education Law of the People's Republic of China" was passed, and compulsory education was slowly implemented at that time.

In the first year of school, you have to pay tuition fees, miscellaneous fees, etc., and the enrollment rate is very, very low. Wang Yuan remembers that my sister has nearly 60 students in a class. Many people are all out of school.

After cleaning up his personal hygiene, Wang Yuan found a pear in the corner of the cabinet.

There are a few spots on the yellow pear skin, which looks very attractive.

Take the pears and the bench to the yard, put down the bench, sit on it, eat pears, watch the sunset and think about things.

"Second Brother, Second Brother..."

The little girl seemed to have endless things to say, she was not honest at all, she kept climbing on top of Wang Yuan.

"Why are there so many chicks in the house?"

"My father bought it, and my mother said that when the chicks grow up, they will have eggs to eat."

"Do you think I'm a tree? If you climb on me again, I'll beat you up."

"Hey~ Let me take a bite of pear, I'll just take a small bite."

"If I want to eat, why don't I go to the house to get it." Wang Yuan still gave the little girl a bite of pear, and the latter smiled and said in a childish voice, "You are a sweet pear."

Chirp Chirp Chirp~
The yellow-haired chicks ran around, screaming from time to time, vying to peck at the pear skin, and the big white cat lying on the firewood pile woke up lazily, and she felt that the chicks all over the yard seemed to be her food.

After a little while, my parents came back from the field with tired faces, and their clothes were soaked in sweat. After seeing Wang Yuan, the couple were very happy.

The big wolf dog wagged its tail, groaned and chirped, and rushed straight into Wang Yuan's arms.

After chatting a few words about the events in the mountains.

Wang Yuan asked about his younger sister, Wang Qing. Father Wang moved a small bench and sat on Wang Yuan's right, lit a pipe and said, "Your sister is willing to study, so go ahead. It's good to learn more."

Mama Wang was washing pots and cooking in the back room, and there was a clanging sound.

"Tuition fee is 12 yuan a year, and other miscellaneous expenses, meals, etc... Xiaoqing is a girl who has a lot of tenacity in her studies, but she is nervous when she takes the exam. She could have been admitted to a technical secondary school, but she didn't perform well in the exam... ..."

Ms. Wang was complaining, she had placed high hopes on her eldest girl, but she was disappointed, and there was faint worry about her daughter's future in her words.

In many places in 1986, students generally preferred to study technical secondary schools rather than high school and then college entrance examinations.

This is the complete opposite of the later generations.

Are you unwilling to go to college?

Of course not, the main reason is that it is too difficult to get into college, and it is too ethereal for rural children, as illusory as a dream, so far away that I dare not even think about it.

Can a township have one student a year admitted to university?I'm afraid it's enough.And the technical secondary school also includes distribution, transfer to non-agricultural hukou, eat the imperial grain and iron rice bowl, and get a job early to make money-so most top students are willing to study technical secondary school.

Wang Yuan gave the pear pit to the little girl, but the little girl shook her head and said she didn't want to chew it, so he casually threw the pear pit to the chicks.

"It's good to go to high school. When I go to university, I will be treated much better than technical secondary school students after graduation."

"Cough... can your sister have that ability? College students are all Wenqu stars, and your sister's elm lump..." Mama Wang obviously didn't like Wang Qing.

at this time.

Wu Qian, who was wearing gray cloth clothes, ran over and shouted directly through the fence: "Brother Yuan, let's go to eat, I will call you all the time."

"What are you eating?" Papa Wang asked curiously, smoking a pipe.

Wu Qian called Uncle, and then said with a smile: "Old stewed meat, let me call all those who went to Yashan."

Wang Yuan understood that this was a treat, so he yelled "Mom, I'm not at home for dinner" and went out. Mother Wang walked out of the house with a heavy aluminum spoon. After understanding the situation, she quickly called Wang Yuan to the house Hugged out a few pears.

"Don't go empty-handed when you go to someone's house for dinner, take these pears with you."

"Where did this pear come from?" Wang Yuan didn't believe that his mother was willing to buy pears.

"Your aunt and your uncle came here a while ago and brought a basket of pears, which were divided among the families."

"Oh, I'm leaving then."

Wang Yuan gave Wu Qian a pear, and the two went side by side to call others.

The little girl also wanted to eat meat, but she was stopped by Mama Wang. She wanted to make a fuss and got slapped twice on the buttocks, and finally her face was puffed up with tears.

……

The man called Qi came to Uncle Man's house, and Uncle Man set up a pot in the yard, gurgling~ Pieces of pork and vegetables were rolling in the pot, and the smell of meat filled the air.

"Is it all here? Sit down~ If you don't have enough stools, let's bring wooden blocks and bricks." Uncle Man was adding firewood to the pot, very enthusiastically.

"Okay, it smells so good."

Wu Qian was extroverted, so he found a stool and sat next to him, and his mouth couldn't close his smile: "It smells so good, why are you inviting us to dinner, Mr. Man?"

"This kid, what are you doing out of sight like that? You can eat at my place."

At this time.

Among the villagers watching TV in another courtyard to the west, someone shouted, "Master Man, eat stewed meat, did you find adult ginseng on the mountain?"

"What a big ginseng, let's take a look."

"Yes, yes, have you dug up six leaves?"

……

A strong atmosphere of gossip was rippling, and many people asked questions in a hurry, with different expressions, envy, jealousy and hatred.

"What are the six leaves? There are no more six leaves in Xiaoxing'an Mountains...Come and eat some meat, let's have a drink together." Uncle Man didn't say how many leaves, but invited a few words politely.

A few extroverted young people came over to eat a few bites of meat, laughing and questioning for a long time, but the man didn't say a few leaves, and then they went back to watch TV.

Put two low wooden tables in the yard.

In addition to Wang Yuan, Wang Shuai, Wu Qian, Liu Hui and other 8 young people, there are also the uncle Man and his wife, his son's family and several people who are relatively close to each other in the village.

Everyone has a stick in their hearts, saying that other people will not come to eat meat if they feel that they have a relatively distant relationship with the Manchu family.

Uncle Man and his wife are not as "prodigal" as his son, and they are very reluctant to use electricity, so eating in the yard is bright and saves electricity bills.

"Eat, eat, eat, you're welcome, I bought 20 catties of pork, it's definitely enough for everyone." Uncle Man used an aluminum spoon to serve everyone the meat.
