When she woke up in the morning, she felt a slight chill. She opened the window and saw that it was raining. It was just that the rain was very light and she was sleeping deeply, so she didn't notice it.
After some activities in the house, I got busy again. I didn’t expect that at ten o’clock, Erya came to the county town with the twins.
Tian Shao knew something must have happened, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to the county town to find her. Tian Shao didn't ask, just smiled and said: "What do you want to eat for lunch, I will ask your second sister to buy it for you."
As soon as Erya heard this, she said, "Sister, there's no need to buy groceries. My mother killed a chicken this morning and asked me to bring half of it. It's enough to make mushroom and chicken soup."
Buying vegetables with half a chicken is too extravagant. This is not entertaining guests.
"Go and do it!" Tian Shao said.
Although Erya is not good at cooking, she can still make soup.
After entering the room, Wu Ya pushed Liu Ya, and when she saw her pursed lips and said nothing, she had to say to herself: "Sister, please help me persuade her! I have been trying to persuade her for more than a month, but I don't want to skip the grade. Sister
, I really didn’t withdraw.”
Liuya said firmly: "Sister, I don't want to be separated from Fifth Sister."
Tian Shao already knew her mentality. In the final analysis, she felt insecure: "Even if you skip a grade, you are still in the same school. You go to and from school together, and you can play together after class."
"But I have to skip to the fourth grade, so I will graduate two years ahead of her. The junior high school in town has to stay overnight, and I don't want to live on campus."
This was really beyond Tian Shao's expectation. She only thought Liuya had skipped to the third grade: "Have you finished studying all the third grade textbooks by yourself?"
Liuya would not lie to Tian Shao. She said: "Sister, I have read the fourth grade textbook and done the questions. It is not difficult."
Tian Shao knew that she still underestimated Liu Ya. According to later generations, this was a god of learning. Such a good seedling cannot be wasted. Once it is cultivated, it will be the pillar of the country!
After thinking for a while, Tian Shao said: "You are reluctant to let go of Wuya and want to be with her all the time, but you understand the content of the class. Don't you feel bored sitting in the classroom?"
Liuya said nothing.
Silence actually means acquiescence. Tian Shao said: "Liuya, do you know why Wuya keeps urging you to skip a grade? Because she feels that if you don't skip a grade, it is not only a waste of money but also a waste of time. In addition, she feels that you are delaying you if you don't skip a grade.
I feel guilty."
Wuya nodded repeatedly. The eldest sister was really amazing. She said what she was thinking right away.
Tian Shao touched Liuya's soft hair. After raising it for more than half a year, not only did her face look better, her head grew taller, but her hair also turned black: "Liuya, everyone has to grow up, and they will have their own things to do in the future.
We may always stick together. But we are sisters, and this will never change in our lifetime."
Liuya was unmoved: "Sister, I don't want to be separated from Fifth Sister."
We can be separated during the day, but at night I want to sleep with Wuya, otherwise she won’t be able to sleep.
Tian Shao thought it was not difficult and said with a smile: "When you were promoted to junior high school and you got full marks in all subjects, I asked you to come to the county to study in junior high school. Then Siya and Wuya also came to the county to study with you.
I don’t want to come here, it’s only a ten-minute bike ride away, and I can arrange day school for you then, and you can still stay with Wuya at night.”
Liuya's eyes became loose and she said, "Really?"
Tian Shao said lovingly: "Sister, you keep what you say. But you must get full marks in all subjects, otherwise the county's junior high school may not accept you."
When the college entrance examination resumes next year, everyone will start to pay attention to education, and junior high schools will definitely be admitted on a merit-based basis. Of course, it will be more troublesome to obtain a household registration in primary school, and we will figure out a way then.
Liuya immediately let go and said, "That's okay, I'll go straight to fifth grade."
Tian Shao did not agree. She thought it would be enough to skip two grades in a row. Principal Xin might not agree to jump directly to fifth grade.
Seeing that she didn't agree, Liuya didn't insist.
The 29th was Sunday. On this day, Tian Shao took Liuya to the school to find Principal Xin. When she arrived at the school, she saw the crumbling house and the dilapidated windows. She felt a little sad. In this kind of house that could collapse at any time.
It is really too dangerous to study inside. Moreover, the window is so broken that the cold wind blows in during the winter, and the children sitting inside studying will be frozen. It is really difficult for children in the countryside to study now.
Principal Xin heard that Liuya wanted to jump to the fourth grade and did not refuse. She just gave him the third-grade test paper to do first. After seeing that Liuya got full marks in Chinese and mathematics, he agreed to her skipping a grade.
On the way back, Tian Shao told them a story about the tortoise and the hare. After telling them, he asked: "Have you learned anything from this story?"
Liuya pondered for a moment and then said: "You can't be proud or complacent, otherwise you will be compared to others."
It was good to think of this. Tian Shao smiled and said: "Yes, you can't be proud and complacent. Liuya, you are very smart, but if you want to achieve success in school, just being smart is not enough. You have to work hard."
"Don't worry, eldest sister, I will study hard."
Tian Shao hummed and said, "Practice your calligraphy more in the future. Principal Xin will give you full marks. But if I were a teacher, I would definitely deduct two points from you if your handwriting is so ugly."
Liuya had seen Tian Shao's calligraphy and whispered that he would practice calligraphy more in the future.
After returning home, Tian Shao found that the atmosphere at home was a bit solemn. Erya's eyes were red and swollen, obviously from crying, while Tian Dalin and his wife had dark faces. When Liu Ya saw him, he hid behind Tian Shao and held her hand tightly.
Tian Shao wanted to take her into the house, but Tian Dalin stopped him: "Liuya, go back to the house. Dad has something to tell your eldest sister."
Liuya nodded obediently and went into the house.
Tian Shao did not take the initiative to ask anything, but looked at the three people and waited for them to speak.
Li Guihua said: "Erya, tell your elder sister about this."
Erya glanced at Tian Shao and saw her calm expression before she said, "I just told Yuan Sheng about sending my aunt to the provincial capital for medical treatment. Unexpectedly, my aunt immediately refused to go to the provincial capital for medical treatment. We talked for a long time.
When I got angry, I said that I would not go to the provincial capital to see a doctor and would pay back the 100 yuan I gave her. Then, she said she had lost the money."
"The gift money plus the 100 yuan I borrowed, so much money was stolen, so I told the police. My aunt didn't agree. When I asked why, she didn't tell me, and she knelt on the ground and begged me not to call the police."
What I still don’t understand is that the money was not lost at all but used elsewhere, but Tian Shao didn’t say a word.
Li Guihua patted the table and said: "Two hundred and twenty yuan is not two cents. Even if you use it, you still have to know where the money went?
Erya wiped her tears and said: "I still asked, but Yuansheng begged me not to pursue the matter with red eyes. So I, I didn't call the police."
Seeing that Tian Shao remained silent, Tian Dalin asked tentatively: "Da Ya, what do you think about this?"
Tian Shao said: "I have said before that you can decide on family matters without asking me. I am a little tired and went back to the house to rest."
After saying that, he ignored them and went straight out of the main room.
