Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 401: The 80s' 'Five Grains of Harvest' 5

The day I went to school to get my diploma was the day when all my peers in the village gathered together most in recent years.

Probably because of the years when everyone was stuck in the family planning policy, people were having children like crazy. There were five people in the village who were the same age as Gu Li, and six who were one or two years younger than her.

That is to say, there are eleven friends in the village who are in the same grade as Gu Li in school.

Such a large group of people walking to school together is also a great sight.

Several students who dropped out of school early also had to go to school to get their diplomas on this day.

Gu Min specially changed her class today and went back to school.

Gu Min, who has been in class for more than a month, is still the same as before, talking nonstop when he sees his friends.

She said that there was endless tea and drinks, and endless melon seeds and peanuts in the city's teahouses, and she took the opportunity to pour the nuts that the customers didn't eat into her own pocket while cleaning up.

"Come on, grab some, grab some. I have more in my bag when you're done!" Gu Min opened his pockets and let Gu Li and the others grab some melon seeds and soybeans to eat.

Upon hearing this, everyone rushed forward and stretched out their claws towards Gu Min.

"Wow, your job is really good. Not only do you get a salary, but you can also bring delicious food home!" Gu Yun also came over, grabbed a handful, and started crunching it.

Gu Yun is the daughter of Gu Li's third uncle. She was ordered by her third uncle to study at home since she was young and usually did not play with them.

Uncle Gu Li is the most educated person in their big family. In their era, graduating from high school was considered a high level of education.

However, Uncle Gu, who thought highly of himself, returned to the village after working in the city for only two years because of a bad relationship with his colleagues. He then determined to raise his two daughters.

My eldest daughter had always been a three-good student since she was young, but she failed the college entrance examination and had to go to a technical secondary school.

The youngest daughter, Gu Yun, is now the focus of attention in Uncle San's family. Only after the high school entrance examination is over, Gu Yun would walk slowly with everyone to school like she did today.

In the past, my third uncle would pick me up and drop me off on his bicycle.

Besides Uncle Gu Li, who wants his daughter to become a successful person, there is another person who receives such pick-up and drop-off treatment, and that is Gu Dandan.

Gu Dandan grabbed a handful of strange-tasting beans, squeezed next to Gu Li, and chewed them until they were crunchy.

Gu Dandan's living conditions are better than everyone else's. She is fair-skinned, has chubby cheeks, black, smiling eyes, and rosy lips. At first glance, she looks like a healthy, likable, and energetic little beauty.

Gu Li felt itchy and pinched her chubby cheeks, "Fatty, how come you seem to have gained weight again after not seeing you for two days?"

Gu Dandan rudely slapped Gu Li's claws away, rubbed her face and said, "Bie Li, you are as thin as a bamboo pole, you must be envious of me, as my old lady said, I am blessed!"

(Old lady, my father’s grandmother, that is, grandma)

Most children of this era are as skinny as Gu Li, with the exception of some like Gu Dandan, who is as white as milk and chubby, and really pretty.

Gu Li curled her lips and turned to look at Gu Yinfeng, who was not very talkative.

"Yinfeng, what do you want to do after graduation?"

Yinfeng took the handful of dried fruits from Gu Min and said with a smile, "I want to continue studying!"

Yinfeng's answer was beyond Gu Li's expectation. She thought that Yinfeng's stingy and vicious mother would never be willing to continue paying for her to go to school.

"Your mother won't agree." Gu Min directly expressed everyone's thoughts.

The smile on Yinfeng's face disappeared, "I want to study and don't want to stay at home." But she knew her mother would not give her money. On the contrary, even if she went out to work and earn money, the salary would most likely not reach her.

But she didn't know what to do.

"Why don't you come work with me in the teahouse? I have a good relationship with our foreman, so I can talk to you and it won't be a big deal to hire you in!"

Gu Yinfeng smiled, lowered her head and said nothing more.

There are three grades in junior high school, with a total of only six classes, two classes in each grade. The students are all children from the surrounding villages and are basically familiar to each other.

There was no sense of ceremony at all. The teacher entered the classroom and read out the list of students who had been admitted to high school. The remaining students who did not get into high school went directly to the teacher to get their diplomas. Those who wanted to know their scores could check it themselves from the teacher.

Among the group of people who came together in the morning, only Gu Li was admitted to high school.

There is only Gu Li.

When they came, everyone was happy; when they left, everyone had different thoughts.

When the Gu family learned the news, Comrade Zhang Yuhua was so happy that she cooked an extra meat dish in the evening. It was great that her daughter made her proud again, as she was the only one among the children in the village who was admitted to high school.

Hahaha.

The second sister, who rarely came home, was also happy and offered to use her private money to buy her a piece of flowered cloth to make clothes.

Gu Xilin looked at Gu Li deeply. Although he didn't say anything, Gu Li knew that her father was also happy.

The next day, Comrade Zhang Yuhua asked Gu Li to go with her second sister to the tailor shop in the city to learn the craft.

"Mom, my third sister has been admitted to high school, why do you still let her learn a craft?" Gu Gui was a little puzzled. In her eyes, her third sister was the best student in the family. She had never seen her do her homework seriously at home, but the peeling east wall of the main hall in the house was covered with her sister's award certificates.

Her third sister was smart, but she wasn't the type to sit in front of a sewing machine all day like her.

"Then what's the point of going to high school? Girls just need to know a few words, it won't affect your future job search in the city. Don't you know the situation in our family? How can we afford to let her go to high school?"

"Does Dad know?"

Gu Xilin drove his tractor to the sand factory before dawn. He wanted to earn some extra money while the brick factory was not working.

"mom!"

Gu Li took the initiative to sell Gu Gui's second-hand bicycle, "Second sister, I also want our family to build a new building as soon as possible!"

Gu Gui was pushed by Zhang Yuhua and had to take the bicycle and take Gu Li to work.

Gu Li learned how to sew from Gu Gui, and during the lunch break, she used the sewing machine and learned how to step on the thread, sew back, and serge.

Gu Li learned very quickly because she was taught by her own sister.

After a month, Gu Li was able to do most of the work except cutting.

If you don't cut it well, the whole piece of fabric will be ruined with one cut of the scissors. Gu Gui doesn't have the power to let her sister try this.

"Little sister, you are really smart and clever. I have spent two years learning these things."

Gu Li didn't take it seriously. "You rely on your eyes when you learn. Your master won't let you work on the land easily. When you were an apprentice, you were asked to do some unimportant chores. But you are my sister. How can I not learn from him if he teaches me step by step?"

With the help of her sister, Gu Gui felt a lot more relaxed.

Tasks that previously required overtime to complete are now easily completed ahead of other colleagues.

However, even if you complete the task ahead of time, you cannot leave early. On the contrary, your boss will only add more tasks.
