    "Going to Xishangou?"

    "Yes, there are some wild banana trees over there in the Xishan Valley, and a bunch of bananas are ripe. We are going to pick the bananas to eat when we go there to cut firewood." The little girl said.

    "Okay, I'll follow you later." Chen Xiayue thought for a while and decided that she could go. Anyway, Xishan Valley is not very far, so she can chop firewood and so on. As for the matter of picking firewood, she should let Zhang Chengchuan do it. She has to  Keep your sick and weak personality from collapsing.

    Chen Xiayue took the small bamboo basket and tied it around her waist, put the hatchet in the bamboo basket, put on the strawberries, and went out with the little girls.

    Chen Xiayue can talk to these little girls. After all, she didn't really grow up in the city. Even though they are separated by decades, she can still talk to these little girls.

    The little girls chatted with her about some small games in the countryside, what they took time to play while working, and then asked Chen Xiayue how the city was.

    Chen Xiayue is not that familiar with the city of this era. After all, she married into the countryside within a few days of moving here, so her impression of the county town is very one-sided.

    ¡°But Chen Xiayue has the memory of her original life, and the memory of Zaijia and her previous life can tell some things that the little girls don¡¯t know. Of course, she can also tell them stories.

    Some of these little girls have gone to school, but they have not continued their studies since they have not finished elementary school. Some of them have not even gone to school for a day.

    There may be some preference for boys over girls, but more often than not, families are too poor to afford tuition fees, so some girls have never read.

    There are even a small number of boys in the village who have never read a book. There are no people like Zhang Chengchuan who can finish high school and repeat it for two years. Those who can graduate from high school are in a hurry to find a job. They will not be able to go to college without being admitted.  Read on.

    Of course you can go to high school, and there are very few people who graduate from high school. Everyone is very poor, and junior high school graduates have already impressed universities. Not everyone can go to high school.

    Chen Xiayue has read books, and now she often holds books and reads them, so when she tells stories, she tells idiom stories.  It was impossible for her to talk about the Four Great Classics, let alone foreign classics to them.

    Chen Xiayue admitted frankly that she prefers Chinese stories. At that time, she only read foreign masterpieces for study, but later she didn¡¯t read them at all.

    What¡¯s wrong with storytelling in idioms?  If you tell foreign stories in this era, haha, just wait for someone to report you behind your back.

    Idiom stories are different. They are traditional Chinese culture. Does this movement not even allow students to learn or tell idiom stories?  She didn't tell a fantasy story.

    Chen Xiayue gets along well with the little girls. These little girls aged ten to thirteen are busy working every day. Even if they cannot do planting work, they still need to help with tasks such as cutting firewood, mowing grass, and pulling weeds.  Mentally barren.

    They are very envious of Chen Xiayue's comfortable life. The most important thing is that Chen Xiayue is from the city, which naturally gives them reasons to envy.  What's more, Chen Xiayue has read books, which makes these little girls even more envious.

    And Sister-in-law Xia Yue is so beautiful, they like her even more - who says girls can't like beautiful girls?  Girls prefer to look at pretty girls.

    "Sister-in-law Xia Yue, do you city people eat meat every day?" an eleven-year-old girl asked.

    The little girl¡¯s surname is neither Zhou nor Zhang, but a little girl named Yang, named Yang Zhaodi.  She is the eldest in the family, and she has two younger sisters, one named Laidi and the other named Pandi.

    Well, just by listening to the name, you can tell how much this family wants a son.  To be honest, such names are very common in this era and even in the next twenty or thirty years.

    Names like Zhaodi, Laidi and Pandi are almost as common as Jianguo and Jianhua.

    Yang Zhaodi¡¯s family treats her pretty well. After all, she is the eldest daughter, so she is not as unloved by her father as her younger sister.  However, when she grows up, she needs to work, and all the work she can do at home and outside will be given to her.

    What Yang Zhaodi envies most is the people in the city. She feels that the people in the city don't have to do as much work every day like she does. The people in the city can eat well and dress well. The people in the city are better than the people in the country anyway.

    Chen Xiayue laughed after hearing what Yang Zhaodi said, "That's not true. People in the city also need to have a job to make money. In the city, you have to earn money and tickets before you can buy food and vegetables. Meat is not often eaten."

    "Meat requires meat stamps, and you only get a small amount of meat stamps every month. It depends on whether you are willing to use the meat stamps to buy meat, so people in the cityThere are not many opportunities to eat meat, just a little more than in the countryside.  "Chen Xiayue explained with a smile.

    "That's very good." Yang Zhaodi said with envy. She had forgotten the last time she ate meat. She didn't eat the meat of the big wild boar caught in the village last year because her mother was pregnant.  Half of it was left for her mother to eat, and the other half was sent back to her mother's family.

    Her mother ate it because both her parents believed that the child in her mother¡¯s belly was a son, so she had to give her mother some supplements so that her brother would grow well and be healthier after birth.  And it was given to her mother's family because her uncles wanted to eat it.

    The three Yang Zhaodi sisters did not eat meat at all. Her parents loved her as the eldest daughter, but they were nothing compared to her younger brothers.

    Chen Xiayue looked at Yang Zhaodi, and then looked at the expressions of the other little girls similar to hers and understood something. Only one or two of these children were favored by the family, but how far can children from the countryside go?  Especially girls, it is even less likely to be so favored.

    Chen Xiayue sighed, but there was nothing she could do. Even if she wanted to change the fate of these girls, she didn't know what to do.  She opened a primary school for girls to attend?  What about tuition fees?  The girls have gone to school, who will do the work at home?

    Chen Xiayue is not a great person. It is impossible for her to challenge the bottom line of these parents and ask them not to let their children work so that their children can go to school.

    It turns out that she is not as selfless as she thought, selfishness is still her nature.

    Chen Xiayue changed the topic and continued to look for wild vegetables with everyone, and cut down the dry branches to use as firewood.

    After more than an hour of chopping, Chen Xiayue chopped some leaves and placed them under a tree to sit down and rest. She had been pampered for a long time. After working for more than an hour, she was still so slow that she was exhausted.

    Chen Xiayue was tired, but the little girls were not yet. They happily picked wild vegetables. When they encountered good wild vegetables, they excitedly called for others to join them.

    Chen Xiayue looked at these little girls and looked up at the blue sky. In fact, there was nothing wrong with the sixties.  It is indeed backward here, but there is also happiness and joy that belongs to this era.

    After resting for a while, Chen Xiayue planned to leave. She also chopped a small bundle of firewood. It was impossible to carry it back. After a while, she asked Zhang Chengchuan to come over and help carry it away.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
