Chapter 303 A Cherry Tree
"Plus one! What procedures do Jiafen need to go through to go to school in the city?"
"Proof of transfer, and certificate of refuge issued by the village."
"That's all it takes?" Li Aiguo asked.
"Yes."
"Okay, I'll do it this afternoon. It's simple." Li Aiguo nodded and said.
This is indeed quite simple. It can be easily opened whether it is at the school or in the village.
"It's okay to let the girl go to school in the city. She won't learn much in the country." The old man said.
This is not to say that there are no good students in the countryside, but they are indeed much worse than those in the city.
For the same person, the results will be completely different if he goes to school in the countryside or in the city.
Let's put it this way, if the little girl is allowed to stay in the countryside and go to school, she will only graduate from junior high school at most.
But if you go to school in the city, you will probably go to a technical secondary school, or at least a high school.
Of course, Li Jiayi knew that it was impossible for her to go to technical secondary school or high school. At most, she would graduate from junior high school.
There is no way! It is already 62 years, and she is only supposed to be in fifth grade when school starts now.
So she was doing very well until she graduated from junior high school. If she delayed her education in the countryside, she might not even be able to graduate from junior high school.
This is why Li Jiayi asked him to come to the city to study.
And there is no need to worry about going to the mountains and countryside, because she has a rural registered permanent residence!
Isn’t it a joke if you ask a rural person to go to the mountains and countryside? At best, she wouldn't be able to go to school, so she would go back to the countryside.
"Plus one! Your second brother will graduate next year. What are your plans?" the old man asked.
In fact, what did the old man say? The eldest son has some thoughts of hoping that his son will become a dragon, but now it’s time to talk about his grandson.
In his opinion, all children should go to the city to eat commercial food, and there is no future in farming in the countryside.
This is why he often talks about Li Aiguo.
"Grandpa, what do you think?" Li Jiayi asked.
"Of course I want to let Empress Cheng work in the city!" the old man said.
"Then just go to the city to work. It's not a big deal."
"Can you still make arrangements?" The old man looked at Li Jiayi and asked.
"Grandpa, it's just a job, not a big deal."
"Uh! Hahaha, good, good, good." The old man was extremely happy.
To be honest, not to mention the second brother Li Cheng, even if the uncle Li Aiguo wants to work in the city, Li Jiayi can arrange it.
But Li Jiayi, like his uncle, values family ties very much, and he also hopes that his uncle will stay and take care of his grandparents.
At worst, I'll make it up to my uncle later, which is nothing to him.
And if you go to the city now, to be honest, it is better to stay in the countryside. At least in the countryside, you are a member of the family, and nothing will happen even if it takes ten years.
What's more, the uncle is still young now, not yet forty years old. Even if he is twenty years from now, he will only be in his fifties or sixties.
Therefore, the uncle is not in a hurry to go to the city. It is best to go to the city after the reopening. Moreover, my grandparents are not in good health, so we can go to the city together then.
The meal at noon was very relaxing. Seeing the second brother Li Cheng wolfing down the food, Li Jiayi felt helpless!
Although there is no shortage of food in the countryside, there is really not much meat to eat, plus he is now growing up.
"Second brother, please eat slowly, no one will compete with you." Li Jiafen frowned and said.
"Jiafen, don't worry about your second brother. Just eat your own food."
"Oh!"
"Hey, Empress Cheng's child is growing up now. He lacks nutrition and doesn't have much oil or water in his belly." After saying this, the old lady gave Li Chenghou a chicken leg.
"Grandma, don't you still have a lot of meat at home? I told you before that I would ask my uncle, aunt and second brother to come over for a meal from time to time." Li Jiayi said.
"Yes! But the child didn't come, saying that the meat was left for us to eat."
"No need for this! I'll give it to you if you don't have it! Second brother, if you want to eat meat from now on, just come to grandma."
"Oh!"
Hearing his voice, Li Jiayi knew that his words were in vain.
"Okay, leave him alone and hurry up and eat." The aunt said.
"Okay, ma'am."
"Dad, I'll fill it up for you." Li Aiguo picked up the wine that the old man had just taken out, and was about to help him pour it.
The old man glanced at him and said, "I think you want to drink it yourself!"
There was good food today, so the old man didn't be stingy and just took out a bottle of good wine.
"Hey hey hey, I'll give it a try."
"You can pull it down, my bottle of wine will be gone once you taste it."
What the old man said is right. Although the old man drinks some every day, he doesn't drink much, only three taels per meal at most.
In other words, he would only pour this bottle of wine once, and the rest belonged to the uncle.
"Dad, I will never finish this meal. I will save some for dinner."
Because he knew that if Li Jiayi was not going back to the city today, there would still be good food tonight!
After eating, the uncle rode his bicycle to the captain's house and asked the captain to issue a certificate of surrender.
Of course, I will have to go to the school to issue a transfer certificate later.
This is also very simple, because before entering junior high school, students go to school in the village.
It can’t be said that it’s an elementary school! They are all schools run in various villages under the name of commune central primary school.
There is no other way. For people like Lijiacun, it is simply unrealistic to go to primary school and also go to a commune.
The primary school in the village is equivalent to the branch branch of the commune central primary school. Li Jiayi had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he came out with his second brother. Looking at the crops in the field, he asked: "Second brother, it's time to harvest the wheat!"
"Well! It is estimated that the harvest will be done in the next few days. Although it can be harvested now, the wheat is not full."
"That's it!"
In fact, wheat is already being harvested in Dayu Province at this time. Due to the temperature difference between the north and the south, the harvest in the north will be later.
"So the countryside will be busy in a few days."
"Yes! After harvesting the wheat, we have to plant crops. It will take at least more than half a month."
The second brother is sixteen years old this year and can be considered a good hand at working in the countryside.
In fact, in rural areas, not to mention his age, even those a few years younger would go to work in the fields when the farming season is busy.
In the city, there are only winter and summer vacations, but in the countryside, there are also wheat holidays and autumn harvest holidays.
There is no way, because neither the wheat harvest nor the autumn harvest can catch up with the winter and summer vacations.
This is not just a holiday for students, many teachers also have to go home to harvest crops.
"Plus, let's go for a walk in the mountains?"
"Second brother, it's already this late. We can't go far into the mountains."
"It's okay. We won't go far. We'll just hang around at the foot of the mountain. It'll be fine if we go back anyway."
"Okay."
Then the two people walked into the mountains, because there is no shortage of water now, and the mountains are full of greenery now.
"Jiayi, come here quickly, what do you see on this tree?" Li Chenghou shouted from the front.
Li Jiayi hurried over, looked up, and then said in surprise: "This...is this a cherry?"
That's right, it's a cherry. This is why Li Jiayi was surprised. He has been looking for this thing!
Unexpectedly, I encountered a tree here.
"Is this thing called cherry?" Li Cheng asked later.
"Yes, it's called Cherry."
"Okay, you pick it up under the tree, and I'll go up and pick it up."
"Okay, second brother, but don't throw it down. This thing will be broken if it falls to the ground. I will give you the schoolbag and put everything you picked into the schoolbag."
"Okay." Li Cheng nodded, took the schoolbag from Li Jiayi's hand, put it around his neck and went to climb the tree.
To be honest, if it weren't for the new clothes he was wearing today, Li Jiayi would have wanted to climb a tree and pick them.
This is a cherry! In later generations, death is expensive, and many people want to achieve cherry freedom.
But not many of them are really achievable, mainly because they are expensive.
Go back and get some seeds, soak them in the spiritual spring in the space, plant them in the space after germination, and you can achieve cherry freedom anytime.
"Second brother, be careful."
In fact, all Li Jiayi's worries were unnecessary. He thought that when his second brother grew up in a rural area, climbing trees might be easier for him than eating and drinking.
Especially for this kind of tree that is not very big, there is no problem.
In less than half an hour, Li Chenghou picked up a full schoolbag and came down from the tree.
"Plus one, I'll pour it out first, and then go up and pick some."
"No, second brother, it's almost enough. This is a lot. If you want to pick it, you can come back tomorrow."
Although it is already considered summer and the days are much longer, it is not yet the longest period.
It got dark around seven o'clock, and it was almost two o'clock when they went up the mountain.
The climb up the mountain was delayed for so long, and it took another half an hour to pick cherries from the trees. It was now almost four o'clock or five o'clock.
If we don't go out, it will probably be dark before we get out of the mountain.
The second brother has no sense of time, but he does!
"Ah! Come tomorrow!"
"Second brother, it's almost five o'clock now. It will get dark if we don't go out."
"What, no!" Li Chenghou quickly looked up, but couldn't see anything.
Because the trees in the mountains are so big, even if you want to see the sun, you can't see it.
"Okay, second brother, let's go quickly, you are right to listen to me."
"Okay then!"
Then the two people walked out of the mountain, saying they were at the foot of the mountain, but who knew they would go so far.
Sure enough, when the two people came out of the mountain, it was already dark.
"Jiayi, it's a good thing you gave way, otherwise the two of us might have gotten lost in the mountains."
There is a difference between the mountains and the outside because there are trees everywhere in the mountains and it will feel dark earlier than outside.
And once it gets dark, it’s almost impossible to see anything in the mountains, it’s extremely dark.
"You two kids, why are you back so late?"
As soon as the two entered the house, they heard grandma ask.
"We..."
"Grandma, we played a little late, don't be angry."
Before the second brother could say what he said, Li Jiayi quickly interrupted him.
Just kidding, if grandma knew that they went to the mountains and it was the second brother who took the lead, the second brother probably wouldn't be able to escape from the meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots.
