Chapter 173 Changqing Middle School resumes classes again
While a few people were resting and drinking tea in the yard, the tricycle pulling cement brought another cart of bricks into the village in the morning.
"Uncle, whose family is planning to build a house here? They haven't finished building it since morning."
As the old village chief of Changqing, the old uncle is a know-it-all in the village.
If you have any unclear questions, you can ask him. He will definitely understand.
"This is not about someone planning to build a house." The old uncle chuckled.
"This is to renovate the old middle school teaching building in our village. We are going to reopen the school and recruit students in the second half of the year."
Oh, the old middle school in the village that has been closed down for a long time is actually opening a new school to recruit students.
Especially for the children in the village, this is a great thing.
Speaking of which, Zhang An is the unlucky guy.
When he was in elementary school, Changqing Middle School was still running.
When he was about to enter junior high school, the authorities decided to close Changqing Middle School.
Children like them can only go to the middle school in Hongyan Town to study.
"Uncle, what's going on? I haven't heard anything about it before."
When Changqing Middle School was closed, the news started to spread early.
This time the school is going to be re-opened, but there is no news at all.
"This matter, it sounds mysterious, it was decided in the past few months."
Zhang Jianwen only learned about this news when he went to a meeting last time.
The secretary of Hongyan Town was named by his superiors when he called for a meeting at the end of last year.
Mainly because the number of students in Hongyan Town has been rising sharply in recent years.
The measure taken by Hongyan Town is to keep adding students to each class, starting with thirty students per class.
By now, there are fifty or sixty people in a class.
It was fine originally, but how can I fit it in?
But now this method doesn't work, even if the quality of teaching is ignored.
The classrooms in the town are only that big, and the capacity of fifty or sixty people is already the limit. Even if we want to admit more people now, there is no way to accommodate more people in the classroom.
The reason why there is no news about this matter is that it was still being discussed at the top level some time ago.
Should we expand the town center or build a new school?
In previous years, this kind of thing would have taken three to five months to discuss.
But now that he has been named by the superiors, who dares to drag him down?
In the end, for some unknown reason, the plan that was discussed was to reopen Changqing Middle School to alleviate the enrollment pressure in the town.
"Uncle, if you say that, then does our old middle school have to build student dormitories?"
In the past, Changqing Middle School only enrolled students in seven or eight villages nearby.
Therefore, there are no student dormitories in Changqing Middle School. There are several teacher dormitories anyway.
Usually after school, the students go back to their respective homes. The furthest village can be reached within a 20-30 minute walk.
Compared to going to town now, it's so much closer.
"It's impossible. This time we just came to renovate the teaching building and a few teachers' dormitories. There is no money for it. If we had the money, why would we want to reopen the old middle school, directly expand the town or build a new school.
"
That being said, it's probably still the same as before.
I am only responsible for the villages that are relatively close to here, and at most I can only open two classes for each grade.
In any case, reopening is a good thing.
At least Zhang Tie and his gang can go to middle school directly in the village after graduating from elementary school this year.
In this way, the family can take good care of it, otherwise it would be quite difficult to walk such a long distance every day in the town.
But if they are allowed to live in school, many children will easily go astray at this time.
For a child of their age, it's okay to be around their parents and have someone to look after them.
If he were let out, there wouldn't be an adult around to keep an eye on him.
Each one of them is like a wild horse that has escaped the reins. It can be as wild as it wants.
It is at this time that many people begin to get tired of studying and like to go out and mingle with society.
Why are there so many social gangsters in towns and cities these days? Most of them are here.
Therefore, it is really a good thing to open this school.
Zhang Jianwen sat at Zhang An's house for a while, chatted for a while, and then drove a carriage into the village to deliver piglets to everyone.
At this time, Zhang An remembered that the old middle school did not seem to be re-opened in later generations.
Instead, the town was expanded to twice its current size.
When Zhang An thought about it, even though he had returned to this era, what happened at Changqing Middle School today told him.
Not all things will develop in the same way as in later generations, which immediately scared Zhang An into a cold sweat.
But soon, Zhang An's restless heart calmed down.
Because he figured it out, he was just a farmer in the village, and he didn't open a company to buy stocks.
Even if the trajectory changes, what does it have to do with myself?
No matter what happens, I can farm comfortably in this mountain.
Who can affect what to you, there is no need to worry about this issue at all.
After these three little fragrant pigs came to the house, Zhang An temporarily locked them in the pen.
There was originally a relatively large open space behind the pen house, which had been fenced off by Zhang An before.
This way you can let them out during the day without worrying about them running away with a few buckets.
Zhang An had originally planted a lot of green grass in that open space. Now that spring has come, the ground is also lush and green.
Now it has become a habitat for these animals in the house.
During the day, they would go to the back to play by themselves, and at night or when it rained, they would return to the enclosure to rest.
So now there is no need for Zhang An to give them food and water.
The days passed day by day, and the day came.
In the morning, the climate was relatively normal.
At noon, spring thunder began to roll in the sky.
The elders in the village were extremely happy about this spring thunder that broke through the sky.
"This year looks like it will be a good year too."
As the saying goes, if there is no thunder but no thunder, the drought will last until the beginning of April. Many people know this farmer's proverb.
Many people think that the statement about whether Jingzhe can cause thunder or not is not that mysterious.
Including those so-called experts, sometimes they quote scriptures and sometimes they talk eloquently.
I thought I could speak clearly and logically after reading a lot of information.
In this regard, Zhang An believed even more in the old people in the village who had been growing crops all their lives.
Although they can't say what the basis is or isn't.
They have been digging for food in the fields every day for decades. It is not an exaggeration to say that they know everything about it, and they have rich experience.
They used their own life experiences to witness the past few years.
They remember which year the weather was good and which year there was no harvest, they remember it better than anyone else.
Because they were really hungry, and they really didn't have enough to eat before.
No matter whether the year is good or bad, it will not come quietly and silently, there will always be some signs.
Therefore, the older generation can completely see something based on their rich experience.
The sound of spring thunder makes all things grow. From noon to evening, there is a roaring sound from time to time.
Overnight, accompanied by thunder, the cherry blossoms and peach blossoms behind Zhang An's house gradually bloomed.
When Zhang An got up early in the morning, he discovered that the fruit trees on the mountain were blooming with many flowers.
At this moment, looking from a distance, the loess slope has begun to turn half white and half pink.
"Xiao An, what are you looking at?" When Wang Fang got up to wash up, she found that her son had already gotten up.
"Mom, I'm looking at the fruit trees in the back hill. They are already blooming."
Zhang An pointed to the loess slope behind the house on the mountain and talked to his mother.
"Hey, it's blooming?" When Wang Fang heard this, she ran outside the yard to take a look.
Zhang An was growing cherries and peaches on Huangtu Slope before, and she was quite worried.
Because Huangtupo is famous for the fact that whatever you plant will not grow, and whatever you plant will turn into seedlings.
Although Zhang An told her that he was sure, she really couldn't let it go. After all, it cost tens of thousands of yuan.
"It's so beautiful. There are so many open ones."
Now I saw the cherry blossoms and peach blossoms all over the mountains, and my worries disappeared.
Because the scene in front of us now means that the trees on the mountain can grow normally.
The flowers have bloomed, but will the fruit be far behind?
"Xiao An, when will these seedlings start transplanting? They have grown so tall."
When Wang Fang got up in the morning, she first watered the watermelon and strawberry seedlings in the ditch in the backyard.
Zhang An went over and took a look. These seedlings had grown four to five leaves.
When transplanting watermelon seedlings and strawberry seedlings, the first thing to consider is the seasonal temperature.
The temperature returned earlier this year, but looking at these returning swallows, you can tell that the spring cold is no longer felt.
So the current temperature is enough for seedlings to start growing, so there is no need to worry about them freezing to death.
Another key factor is the size of the seedlings.
During the transplanting process, the roots of the seedlings will definitely be damaged to some extent.
If it is too small, the root growth ability is too weak, and the survival rate after transplanting is not high.
It won't work if it grows too big, because the roots have already grown completely. If you plant it at this time, the recovery period will be very long.
This size is about right now.
"Mom, it's time to start transplanting the seedlings. Anyway, it's okay now, so let's start tomorrow."
This time there was no need for Zhang An to say anything, Wang Fang went out to call for help.
Now she also understands that her family has many ways to survive, which cannot be solved by one family alone.
Even if you go to repay a favor, it's easy when you ask for it, but not when you return it.
And there is another advantage to paying people to hire them. Food is not included, and they work hard.
If something is not done well, you can point it out yourself.
If you hire a favor worker and the job is not done well, you can't say anything casually, otherwise you will always offend others.
After dinner in the evening, I went out and walked around to find all the people who would work the next day.
Early the next morning, the people hired by Wang Fang came to Zhang An's yard to report early.
It was only seven o'clock, and everyone was here. There were fifteen people in total, all the maids from the village.
In the past, when we hired people to do work, they would come early in the morning, and some people didn't come until around eight o'clock.
So after the family hired people several times, Wang Fang noticed them.
Zhang An didn't need to explain anything about the seedlings, they were even more familiar with it than Zhang An.
This is the first time that two crops, watermelon and strawberry, have been planted in the village.
Therefore, Zhang An had to tell them how to plant, how much spacing, and how much row to row.
In the past, Zhang An didn't know much about this either.
However, all this knowledge can be learned from books, and Zhang An has bought a lot of books recently.
Whether it was animals, fruit trees, or crops, Zhang An bought a lot of them.
After watching it outside, Zhang An took it to the space to read it.
Within a few days, Zhang An had memorized everything in the book.
After having space, Zhang An's memory is much better than before.
If I had such ability before, it would not be easy to get into college.
After some teaching, the maids in the village learned it after reading it once.
The youngest of their group is in their thirties, and they have been farming for more than 20 years.
He has a lot of experience, he knows everything at once, and he soon started working in the fields.
"Anzi, didn't you bring your friends to your house a few days ago? When are you going to treat us ladies to a drink?"
While everyone was joking with Zhang An, the speed of their work did not slow down at all.
The word "friend" in their mouth means "object".
After Zhang An's two aunts spread the word, most people in the village knew about Su Ying's existence.
It's just that I have never seen what Su Ying looks like before, I only heard what others said.
When Zhang An brought Su Ying over to play a few days ago, these maids came to see Su Ying.
Some people say they come to buy eggs, and some people say they come to borrow things.
Anyway, I found every excuse I could find, but after I came here, I just stared at Su Ying, and that night I even made Su Ying feel shy.
"It's coming, it's coming. Don't worry, my dear, this drink will not forget you. You will all come to help me when the time comes."
Zhang An is not afraid of these old women, he is not an ordinary young man.
You won't get blushing just because these women say a few words.
If it were young people like Huang Ming and Zhou Yang, they would never be able to hold on for a few words in front of them.
Because people like them don't have any scruples about what they say, but it doesn't matter whether you are a young man or not.
When it comes to words, it doesn’t matter whether they are meat or vegetarian.
Seeing that it didn't reach Zhang An, everyone didn't care and went on to talk about other things.
These people are basically members of the village's secret intelligence center.
At this time, it is the time for them to exchange and transfer information.
Zhang An was planting seedlings and listening to their conversation. He really heard a lot of things that he didn't usually hear.
For example, after Li Laifu's family celebrated the Chinese New Year, he went out to work with his relatives.
Zhang Anke had never heard of this. No wonder the village has been so quiet recently.
Ever since Zhang An's family moved to the river, they haven't paid much attention to their affairs.
Although he hates this family, it turns out that when Zhang An was walking around the village, he would bump into them more or less.
No wonder Zhang An never met this family even once during the Chinese New Year this year.
The great man is right, there is strength in numbers, and work can be done quickly.
Although the watermelon seedlings were rarely planted, these dozen people were in the field and transplanted all the watermelons on the five acres of land in less than a day.
Next comes the highlight. The strawberries are much more densely spaced than the watermelons.
Therefore, the number of seedlings that need to be transplanted in this acre of land is several times that of the watermelon field.
Sure enough, when everyone transplanted strawberries, the speed plummeted.
