Chapter 504 The Story of the Past
Shen Nian may not understand Jiang Laihua's meaning, but Su Ling can understand. In their era, compulsory education, before entering high school, only needs to pay 25 yuan for homework books every semester. They are all reduced or exempted, so this aspect still has a great effect on improving everyone's diploma and knowledge level.As for Jiang Laihua's age, Su Ling doesn't know very well, but thinking about it, it should be. Jiang Laihua should be the group of people born before the founding of the People's Republic of China. At that time, the concept of school might be vague, and more Since private schools and the like are called private schools, they must only be attended by rich people.

Shen Nian was a little puzzled at the moment and said, "But Aunt Jiang, in our countryside, if someone can't afford to study, the teacher will come to the door to do work and guide the parents to send the children to study. Didn't there be a teacher at that time?" Come to your house and let you study?"

"At that time..." Hearing these words, Jiang Laihua seemed to be lost in memories. She couldn't help but smile. The wrinkles on the corners of her lips seemed to be filled with the vicissitudes of time. She spoke seriously to Shen Nian explained, "At that time, there were few teachers. Maybe the master who opened a private school was a scholar in the former Qing Dynasty. They also had to live. It's not like the country is good now. Back then. , Opening a private school is for the master to make ends meet. How can we go to school? If you don’t have money, you can’t enter the gate. In this regard, you have to be considerate of the master’s fault. Besides, at that time, how could girls study? Ah, even if you want to study, you must at least be a lady in the city."

Shen Nian was stunned by Jiang Laihua's words. Shen Nian thought that all the teachers in the world wanted students to study, but it turned out not to be the case. He asked lightly, "Then generally those who go to study are Who is it? Can't the poor go to school?"

"If there is a family that values ​​education, they may send the children to study if they sell pots and iron, or sell land and land, but this kind of family usually sends boys to study." Jiang Laihua carefully recalled the past stories and talked with Shen Nian They said, "Besides, you think it's so easy to study, pens, inks, papers and inkstones don't cost money, and in the countryside, even a little boy as old as you has to help with things. If you don't do things, it means A family has one more person who eats for nothing, how can a family support it, even if it can support it, it is not afraid of other people's gossip."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wang Yaoyao couldn't help asking. Obviously, what Jiang Laihua said today was beyond Wang Yaoyao's comprehension. Wang Yaoyao thought that everyone in the world wanted their children to study hard. This is the case in their family. She didn't like studying for a while, and her parents found her annoying when they looked at her, but since she and Shen Lan got closer and started to study hard, her parents looked at her much more pleasing to the eye , Even after she made progress in the previous monthly exam, her parents bought whatever she wanted to buy, and what did they say as her reward, they planned to take her to the beach for a while.

But for Wang Yaoyao, she is tired of going to the seaside, so it doesn't matter whether she goes or not.

Jiang Laihua couldn't help but smiled and said, "Think about it, studying is such a long process. Even if you are admitted to a good school, you will be at least 56 or 56 years old. That's the kind of son who has a particularly good academic performance. In our time, [-] to [-] years old was the age to start a family, if you were still thinking about studying but failed to pass the exam, others would laugh at your family for having a person who wasted money by studying and wasting money.”

"Although it's a mockery, it was normal under the circumstances at that time, because in that era of war and chaos, it was very good to be able to eat enough. How could there be extra spare money for children to study?" Su Ling couldn't bear it. Live to add a sentence.So it was normal for people in that era to be illiterate. Su Ling was brought up by her grandma, who was also born before liberation. Grandma never read or read at all, so she was always illiterate.

Jiang Laihua nodded and said, "Yes, but now that the environment is better, if you have the opportunity to read and write, you must read and write well, otherwise, if you live in the countryside all your life, you will be worthless." Having said that, Jiang Laihua couldn't help but think of the countryside. She looked at Wang Yaoyao and Shen Lan and said, "In the countryside, if girls your age don't go to school, they have to help the family with things, and they have to Those who get married early basically don't have any time for themselves."

"Oh my God." Wang Yaoyao was stunned when she heard this, "How old are we, are we going to get married in the countryside?"

"This..." Jiang Laihua said helplessly, "Maybe this is not allowed now, but in the early years, anyway, it was like this at our time."

"Things in the 30s and [-]s were normal." Su Ling quickly smiled and said, "But now that the times are better, those things will never happen again."

"Yeah." Jiang Laihua nodded, picked up the chopsticks, put a piece of steak on her plate and said, "This dish tastes really good, and I don't know how it's made. , It feels different from the dishes I have made and eaten before."

"Aunt Jiang, this is called steak." Shen Lan hurriedly explained to Jiang Laihua, "It's something Westerners eat. I know." Shen Lan looked at Xiao Bo's position while talking, but she was also curious about how the steak was made.

Xiao Bo saw that Shen Lan was coming over, so he smiled and said, "This steak is actually very simple. The beef I get at home needs to be marinated first, and then heated with butter, and then the steak can be fried."

"Then the step of marinating the steak is probably very important. Otherwise, how could the steak taste so good?" Jiang Laihua said seriously while eating the steak. After she finished speaking, she looked at Xiao Bo's position Said, "And what is that butter? Can't you use ordinary oil at home?"

Jiang Laihua had never heard of butter.

Su Ling often saw butter in supermarkets in later generations, but Su Ling couldn't explain what that butter was. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Maybe it's the oil needed to make steak."
