The silly elder sister hurriedly walked out of the house and went to work.

There were only three people left in the family who stared at each other and could only take out their textbooks.

For the three students, summer vacation is the most boring. There are no mobile phones or TV these days. Even the radio at the entrance of the village is broadcast in time intervals to save electricity.

After Chen Qi had eaten his fill of sweet potatoes, he also took out his complete set of health school textbooks to look at.

At the end of the summer vacation, he will enter the fourth grade of the medical class, which is also the last year of the medical school.

These days, technical technical secondary schools and health schools are all four-year programs. After the summer vacation, you will study for half a year, and then go to the hospital for an internship for half a year before you graduate.

In his previous life, Chen Qi graduated with a master's degree and was currently studying for a doctorate. He had quite a wealth of theoretical knowledge in medicine. As for his clinical level, after years of surgery at Xinhua Hospital, he basically had no problems with surgery.

However, the teaching materials in 1981 are definitely different from the teaching materials in 2022. If Chen Qi wants to integrate into this era, he must prepare in advance.

Basic courses such as "Systematic Anatomy", "Microbiology", "Biochemistry", "Physiology", "Pathology", "Pathophysiology", "Diagnostics", "Pharmacology", etc. learned in the first three years of health school

.

Chen Qi looked through it roughly and felt confident.

The general direction of knowledge is still the same, but the knowledge points in 1981 are relatively rough and simple, and of course easier to remember.

"Pharmacology" is a bit difficult because the medicines used in this era were too different from those of later generations. Many medicines were later eliminated. Chen Qi had never used them and had no relevant experience.

However, it is not difficult to remember. After all, the general direction is still the same, but later generations used upgraded versions of the drugs, and the pharmacological basis is the same.

As for the cultural courses such as "Mathematics" and "English" that are also required in technical secondary schools, it is even simpler for Chen Qi.

Especially in English, he had passed the CET-6 exam in his previous life. Not to mention that he was not as good as a professional translator, but at least he was more than enough to beat technical secondary school students.

Chen Qi was completely relieved now, and he was not afraid that his secret would be revealed after school started. For him, the only problem was to "keep it in check" and not to ask questions that even the teacher didn't know, making the teacher unable to step in.

People with low emotional intelligence are often not popular with others.

While Chen Qi was reading, he also helped his younger brothers and sisters with their homework, helping them preview their sixth-grade textbooks in advance.

The second aunt also laughed at their useless study. This is the shallowness of rural women. They think that earning a little money is enough to live?

For rural children, the best chance to escape poverty is to enter a technical secondary school or university in the future.

Haidong Province has been famous for its business since ancient times. Although "business" is also a way out, it does not discriminate against businessmen.

But Chen Qi comes from later generations, and he is one of the richest people in the future generations. 42% have a bachelor's degree, 34% have a master's degree, 20% have a doctorate, and only 2% have junior high school and high school education.

This can be said to be a slap in the face to those who believe in "the theory that learning is useless".

The purpose of studying is not only to make you a worker in the 1980s, but also to broaden your horizons, to see further, and to better grasp the opportunities of the times in the future.

Don't let the wind blow, because you don't understand anything, you are just like a pig that doesn't know how to fly.

So Chen Qi’s dead substitute teacher father was really discerning and would sacrifice everything to send his own children to school.

Of course, except for the stupid eldest sister, she simply can't read, so she's not this material. It's not because her parents are partial and don't let her go to school.

Thinking of his eldest sister, Chen Qi looked at the sun outside the house. The sun was as bright as a fire. He couldn't stand the heat even indoors. He didn't know how his eldest sister was doing.

"Little sister, where has the eldest sister gone?"

While Chen Hua was cooking porridge, he said, "The eldest sister should have gone to the kiln at the entrance of the village to carry bricks."

"Carrying bricks? On such a hot day? A little girl?"

Chen Qi was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. At the same time, he was deeply shocked and felt an indescribable sadness.

If a grown man like me is reading at home while a weak woman does hard labor under the scorching sun, is he still considered a human being?

"No, I have to go find eldest sister. Little sister, please take me there."

Chen Hua nodded: "Wait for me for a while, I will cook sweet potato porridge and bring it to eldest sister."

In 1981, although the rural areas had enough food to eat and people no longer starved to death, it was still far from being able to eat well and eat well, and meat and fish could only be eaten during the New Year and holidays.

Just like the Chen family, the staple food is still sweet potatoes, corn and other coarse grains. The little rice left at home is not "late rice", but the hardest and roughest "early rice", which is not eaten by people in the city.

.

If Chen Qi hadn't fainted the day before and was half ill, otherwise he wouldn't have had sweet potato porridge for lunch.

After Chen Hua poured the porridge and rice into an earthen pot, the three brothers and sisters walked out of the house and walked towards the entrance of the village.

On a hot day of 39°C, the three of them were all barefoot. There was no other way. Each of them only had one pair of shoes, which they couldn't bear to wear.

The roads are not good either. They are either gravel roads, which will make the soles of your feet hurt when you walk on them, or cobblestone roads, which will burn you to death if you step on them.

Not long after walking, Chen Qi felt that his whole body was hot and his vest was soaked with sweat. It was hard to imagine how Silly Sister, a little girl, worked in the kiln on such a hot sauna day.

The red bricks fired at the Xiaze Village kiln come from several mountain villages in the mountains of the supply-oriented Tang Commune. The kiln is located on a low ground, so the fired bricks need to be manually carried one by one and piled on the drying ground.

Chen Qi and his younger brothers and sisters saw the big chimney from a distance and quickened their pace.

There are many farmers who carry bricks in kilns. After all, the cash income of 50 cents a day is absolutely attractive to farmers who live deep in the mountains. Of course, the price they pay is that they have to carry at least several thousand bricks every day.

If you are stronger, just cover your body with a sack, then tie 100 bricks together with ropes, hold them with both hands, and carry them away.

Those with less strength will carry a wooden frame on their backs, which can hold more than 60 red bricks. Although it saves a little effort, it also makes less money.

When the three brothers and sisters found the silly eldest sister, she was carrying 60 bricks, bent over, and struggling to climb the slope.

One piece of this kind of rural red brick weighs about 2 kilograms. 60 red bricks means it weighs 120 kilograms, but the silly lady's own weight does not exceed 100 kilograms.

Under the scorching sun, it could be seen that she was working very hard, and the military green clothes on her body were completely soaked.

In order to save money, she didn't even wear shoes. Walking on a dirt road would leave deep footprints.

Chen Hua was the first to cry, followed by Chen Shu, and even Chen Qi, the new time traveler, had tears in his eyes at this time.
