After finishing the work, Tian Shao went to the family building of the garment factory to find Accountant Chen. Unfortunately, Accountant Chen was out on business. Tian Shao asked a neighbor to tell Accountant Chen that she would come back the next morning.
On the way back, Erya said excitedly: "Sister, the building where Accountant Chen and the others live is so high!"
Tian Shao only had one impression of that house, that it was dangerous. But she knew that this was Erya's yearning for the city. Even if the place she lived in was small and dark, it could not stop people from eating commercial food, and they would not have to go to the ground to be burned into black charcoal.
Worried about starvation if the harvest is not good.
Tian Shao said: "Erya, if you want to live in a building like this in the future, learn how to read like Sanya."
Hearing this, Erya shook her head and said, "Sister, I'm not as smart as you. I can't even enter the city even if I recognize those words."
Reading is really difficult. She could still listen to Tian Shao's lively and interesting lectures, but if it was Sanya, she gave up after persisting for a day.
Tian Shao said: "Opportunities are given to those who are prepared. Look at me, I have to have a junior high school diploma to seize this opportunity. Otherwise, no matter how talented I am, I will not be able to apply for admission and I will not be able to enter the textile factory. You know all the words
That’s all, if there is an opportunity in the future, I will fight for it for you. If you don’t prepare yourself, you won’t be able to seize the opportunity."
Erya shook her head and said, "Forget it, I'm not a student."
It was so difficult to get into the city, and she didn't believe that Tian Shao could find a job for her.
"Ring ring ring..."
The two of them were walking when suddenly there was a rapid ringing of bicycle bells from behind, and then someone called Da Ya again.
Tian Shao turned his head and saw that it was Tian Jianle and Tian Lingling. He greeted them enthusiastically: "Brother Le, Lingling, what a coincidence!"
She was able to enter the textile factory thanks to the information provided by Tian Jianle, otherwise she would not have been able to apply one day later.
Tian Lingling said with a smile on her face: "Da Ya, today is Saturday, we are going home for the holidays."
Erya felt very uncomfortable when she heard her calling Tian Shao that way. Her eldest sister was also called Lingling but no one called her by her name. Maybe not many people in the village knew her eldest sister's name.
Only then did Tian Shao know that today was Sunday. No wonder he said he would report the day after tomorrow. It turned out that he had a day off tomorrow!
Tian Jianle smiled and said: "Da Ya, congratulations on getting admitted to the textile factory. Many people in our company heard that you were the girl who lived in Wei Dazheng's house, and they admired you so much that they even said they might have a chance to get to know you!"
He took a long trip this time and came back at noon today. As soon as he returned to the factory, Wei Dazheng told him the news that Tian Shao had passed the exam. Although Tian Shao was full of confidence, he was not optimistic about it, but he did not expect that he would get perfect scores in both exams.
.
Tian Lingling said a little unnaturally: "Da Ya, congratulations to you! People in our factory praised you for being so awesome when they heard about you."
Tian Shao said modestly: "It's just my luck. I know all the questions that happened to come up. Brother Le, I will pay you back the money I owe you later."
The original plan was that she would repay Tian Jianle after receiving her salary, but after what happened to Xu Xiaohong, she no longer wanted to owe this favor.
Tian Lingling couldn't keep the smile on her face. Tian Daya could really do it by using the money she blackmailed her second sister-in-law to pay back her third brother.
Tian Jianle smiled and said: "Da Ya, you won't get your salary until the 15th of next month, and the apprentice's salary is not high. I'm not in a hurry to use the money now, and it won't be too late to pay me back after you have paid your salary.
"
Tian Shao shook his head and said: "No, this money should have been paid back a long time ago, but I was worried that something might happen so I kept it. Now that my household registration has been transferred to the factory, I don't have to worry anymore."
Tian Jianle knew that she had money on hand, so he stopped trying to persuade her: "Da Ya, you and Er Ya take our bicycles so that you can go home earlier."
Tian Shao declined politely. She thought Tian Jianle was very nice and willing to be friends with him, but Tian Lingling let it go.
After the two of them walked away, Erya let out a sigh and said, "Sister, this Tian Lingling is an ungrateful white-eyed wolf. You almost lost your life when you saved her, but in the end you didn't feel grateful at all."
Tian Shao was not angry and said: "Has Tian Jianle helped others like he helped me in these years? No, he was kind to me to repay his kindness to Tian Lingling."
Erya was still aggrieved.
Tian Shao smiled and said: "Don't be angry. I didn't want to repay her when I saved her. I just felt that it was a life that I should save if it happened. Da Ya, if you want to be respected by others, you have to work hard and make yourself stronger.
Get up. Just like Xu Xiaohong, she doesn’t even dare to fart when she sees me now.”
Erya has felt a change in the attitude of the members toward her family in the past two days. She used to not even look at them, but now she greets them with a smile. She knows that the change in these people's attitudes is because of her eldest sister.
After dinner and cleaning up, Tian Shao went to Tian Dalin and Li Guihua in the yard and said, "Mom, Dad, there are some things I want to discuss with you."
Tian Dalin asked: "What's the matter?"
Tian Shao said with a smile: "When school starts, I want to send Sanya and Siya to study."
Forget it, Erya is not willing to use work to coax her into literacy, let alone go to school.
Erya relaxed when she saw Tian Shao didn't mention her.
Upon hearing this, Sanya waved her hands and refused: "Sister, just let Siya and Wuya go to school, I won't go."
Li Guihua also disagreed and said: "Wuya is young. If you want to send her to school, I won't object, but Sanya and Siya can't. Who will earn work points if they want to go to school? If they don't have work points, they won't be able to get food. When the time comes,
Are they drinking from the northwest wind?"
Especially Sanya, who now earns six or seven work points from work, can already earn her own food.
Upon hearing this, Sanya hurriedly echoed: "Yes, eldest sister, I have to earn work points to support myself. Sister, I know you are doing it for my own good, but our family still has to live a good life!"
She didn't want to sit in the same classroom with four or five ya, and she couldn't afford to lose face.
Tian Shao said: "I will find a way to deal with the rations. Let me ask you now, do you really don't want to go to school? Sanya, I have taught you to recognize so many words. You can go to school and study from the second grade at least."
Sanya still refused, she didn't want to burden her parents and Tian Shao.
Seeing her resolute attitude, Tian Shao knew that strong pressure would be counterproductive: "Sanya, if you promise me to complete elementary school courses at home, I will agree that you will not go to school. Otherwise, you have to listen to me and go to the school after school starts."
Among her sisters, she liked and felt sorry for this girl the most. She was ignored in the middle, and she never complained and always worked silently.
Sanya hesitated and said: "Sister, I will study at home, but I can't guarantee whether I can complete the elementary school courses."
"As long as you are willing to work hard, you can definitely do it." She looked at the elementary school textbooks and the content was very simple. With her help and guidance, it would not be a big problem to get the elementary school diploma. As for junior high school, with Sanya's talent, self-study will definitely not be possible. She must go to
School.
Sanya is never afraid of hardship: "Don't worry, eldest sister, I will study hard."
