After going to the countryside, I can fish as much as I can

Chapter 51 Quarrel
At dawn, Zhang Youyou had breakfast and went to the city with the letter of introduction that he had received yesterday. Of course, he took Sun Guaizi's ox cart.

Sun Guaizi was also a little curious, why did this girl run to the city when she saw Tian'er? He raised his whip and gently hit the cow's buttocks, and asked casually,
"Girl You, what are you doing when you come to town today? Do you want me to wait for you a little longer?"

"Uncle Sun, I went to the primary school and junior high school in the city today to apply for a diploma. I am already 13 years old and should have a student diploma. You don't have to wait for me later because I don't know how long it will take. I won’t buy anything today and I’ll go home empty-handed very quickly.”

"Oh! That's fine."

When Sun Guaizi heard that he was going to the school to apply for a diploma, he was also happy for Zhang Youyou. When he knew the reason, he stopped talking. But when those people behind him heard it, they started talking in all directions,

"Xiao Zhang, educated youth, don't all the kids in your city go to school? Why haven't you received your primary school diploma yet?"

Because she was close, Aunt Niu heard clearly what the two said and asked curiously. Others also looked over.

"I had something going on at home at the time, so I never took the exam and later I didn't have time. Now I have the opportunity, so I went to ask and get the diplomas from primary and secondary schools after passing the exam."

After being heard by them, Zhang Youyou felt it was nothing, so she spoke openly,
"What's the use of that? When you get old, you can't just marry someone else."

Erwa's grandmother, everyone calls her Sun Erpozi. When she heard this, she curled her lips and said, "She is a big character, not just one. She is very stubborn, and she is very patriarchal. She gives birth to daughters to earn money for her sons." The betrothal gift is used to help.
Everyone noticed that she was speaking and ignored her. People of this era are more or less patriarchal, but this old lady acted so immorally. She was really the only one in the village.
Zhang Youyou has been here for so long, and of course she has heard this person's reputation. He ignored her and looked at the scenery on the roadside.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Sun Er's wife was still muttering a few words in her mouth. As a result, she became even more angry. She opened her eyes and blurted out the words in her mouth,

"Zhang Yatou, you think what the old lady said is wrong, don't you! Look at how many people in your city who went to school have not returned to the countryside to farm, so what do you think is the use of going to school? Besides, you girls are now studying No matter how much you have, what’s the use? From now on, it won’t be someone else’s…”

Zhang Youyou felt at this moment as if she had accidentally seen something in the dry toilet. Not only was she disgusted but also annoyed, and her words were not so polite.

"Old lady from the Sun family, why are you asking me this? Do you think you are right or the country is right? The country advocates equality between men and women. What you keep talking about is that girls are not as good as men in movies. Who are you going to go against?

And what happened to reading?At least I can read and read. When I go out, I know where the station is and what time does the train I want to go leave?I won’t take the wrong car or go to the wrong place.

Where are the restrooms in the city? I won’t go to the wrong door if I’m a man or a woman. Which way does the hospital door open? I don’t need to ask others in a coquettish manner when I want to see if I have a cold or an emergency.
Also, when you buy groceries and food, you can settle the accounts yourself, and you won’t be deceived by others. Isn’t there any benefit to studying? This is the most real benefit. Do you want me to tell you about the others? "

Everyone has been looking at Zhang Youyou since she started talking, and they all thought that she would say some nasty words or be rude like they usually do, but they didn't expect that what they said was well-founded and reasonable.

Aunt Niu and Tian's sister-in-law both nodded in agreement. This idea really makes sense.
"What Xiao Zhang, an educated youth, said is right. The last time my mother-in-law had a bad cold, she was so confused that she was sent to the hospital in the city.
We were so disoriented that we didn't know which way to go as soon as we entered. There were roads ahead on the left and right, and there were many open doors lined with people. Some doors were open and some were closed. Fortunately, my son-in-law had an acquaintance in the hospital. He took us up and down, otherwise we wouldn’t know what the joke would be!It’s still good to study and become literate. "

One even spoke with emotion about what happened some time ago. She is also going to send her child to school next year. Let’s not talk about studying. At least she can’t be blind like her.
"That's right! The first time I went to the city to go to the toilet, I almost went to the wrong place. As soon as I left, the man came out and made me so embarrassed!" An aunt also made a joke out of a previous incident, Before he finished speaking, he was laughing loudly, and the people next to him also laughed when they heard it.

Many people have experienced it, no one should laugh at anyone?For a while, he even told his previous embarrassment because of his illiteracy as a joke.
After Zhang Youyou finished speaking, she shut up. The people nearby also listened happily. She took out a handful of pumpkin seeds from her bag and distributed them to several aunts, but she didn't give them to Mrs. Sun. She was angry and gave them to her. He rolled his eyes and looked away from these people in anger.
There was a man who had nothing to do with Mrs. Sun. When he saw her making a fool of himself, he laughed loudly and raised his voice.
"Some people keep saying that their granddaughters are losers. What are they trying to do? Who are they going against? Zhang Zhiqing is right. Nowadays, we pay attention to equality between men and women. The old concepts in the past are so rotten. It’s thrown away.”

"It's none of your business, you damn old woman, you're just doing your own business while you're eating, you're really everywhere."

Second wife Sun is not a fool. Who are you talking about in such a ridiculous manner?She heard it before she finished speaking. She was so angry that she raised her eyebrows upside down and pointed at the other person's nose and cursed loudly. Periods and exclamation marks were flying everywhere.

Not to be outdone, the man immediately shouted back. You were pointing at me and I was pointing at you. It was very lively when you came and went. People around you quickly stopped the fight.
"Okay, okay, please stop saying a few words. It's safe on the bullock cart. If you fall off the cart later, you'll lose your arms and legs. You deserve it."

In the end, it was Aunt Niu who used a voice louder than theirs to compete with those two people.

"Hmph! I'll give you face and won't argue with the old lady."

"Bah! I'm so generous and don't care about you."

The two of them looked at each other and turned their heads to one side. The others told them to stop arguing and not continue the topic. Instead, they talked about other things. Zhang Youyou was no longer interested in this and was about to close her eyes. Nourish your mind,

"Zhang Yatou, you can get your diploma without going to school? Can my granddaughter go?"

Aunt Niu was relieved to see that they were no longer making trouble. She turned around and asked the question she wanted to ask just now.

"You're kidding! How can it be that simple? It's true that because I have already studied and mastered the knowledge of elementary school and middle school, even if I get a diploma, I need to take a test. Only if I pass the test can I get the diploma. It is impossible for me to be illiterate. I can't even answer a question. If you don’t understand, you can get your diploma!”

Zhang Youyou looked at the other party with a look on her face, "Are you kidding me?" Before Aunt Niu finished dialing the beads in her abacus, she was abruptly stopped.
"Hahaha, I forgot about this! Let her go to school for a while and learn! She is still young anyway, so there is no need to worry, hahaha~"

"That's right! What should you do at what age? Life is determined. Your granddaughter is only a few years old, so she should go to school and learn skills. As a mother-in-law, treat her well, and he will be filial to you in the future. "

I have met Aunt Niu's granddaughter Zhang Youyou several times. She is a very smart little girl, and she doesn't mind saying a kind word for her.
