Time Travel Article: My parents divorced at the beginning

Two cows! In the countryside, two or three strong laborers are no match for a cow. Besides the village donkey, the only large livestock in Gujia Village are the Gu family's three sheep. But none of these can compare to two cows.

Village chief Gu felt that they in Gujia Village should have a good chance of getting the two cows, but they couldn't let Wang Defa, this bad apple, ruin everything.

"Our town has such a generous reward right now. Do you want one?"

"Who doesn't want to? It's useless just thinking about it."

"That's right!"

Village Chief Gu shook his head and said to the villagers, "You are useless. I think there is great hope for our village!"

"There are 28 natural villages in our town. During the land reform a few years ago, our village was the only one inhabited entirely by poor and middle peasants. Other villages more or less had a few rich peasants, but even if their lives were good, they might not necessarily be willing to form a mutual aid society."

"Think about it, if you calculate it this way, does our village have great hope?"

Seeing the villagers nodding thoughtfully, Village Chief Gu continued, "Regarding the issue of food distribution, we mainly follow the principle of six labors and four labors. During the busy farming season, we use the large-scale contracting system to calculate wages."

This distribution method not only takes care of the food and clothing problems of families with insufficient elderly, weak, sick and disabled laborers, but also mobilizes the enthusiasm of villagers for production. It is also a relatively fair distribution plan.

Old Man Gu from the Gu family felt that his second son was on the government payroll, so he had to support national policies. Secondly, Old Man Gu felt that what his cousin said made sense, so he had to support his family members’ work.

Old Man Gu looked at his family and asked, "Do you think you should participate?"

"Dad, I'll listen to you!" Gu Ping felt that his family had not yet split up, and because of his younger brother's subsidy, their life in the village was pretty good. This matter was dispensable, so he just listened to the arrangements of the old couple.

So, Old Man Gu took the initiative to step forward and express his desire to join the mutual aid society. It was obvious to all that Gu Dahu's family lived a good life in the village. When the villagers saw that the Gu family was the first to step forward and express their desire to join, those who were still hesitant no longer hesitated and expressed their desire to join.

Seeing that everyone was eager to sign up, Village Chief Gu and Accountant Wang struck while the iron was hot and organized the villagers to sign and seal. Then, Village Chief Gu immediately took the registration form signed by all the villagers and went to the town to submit the registration form.

After the meeting, the villagers went to work in the fields, and Gu Qingyu invited her friends to her house to share the small change.

Seeing that everyone was there, Gu Qingyu took out the small purse that her grandmother had specially made for her.

Wow!

"Wow..." The sound of the coin falling on the table was accompanied by the surprised exclamations of the little friends, and everyone's face was filled with smiles.

"This time we sold the wild chrysanthemums for a total of 1 yuan, plus the 3 cents we didn't get last time, so each of the seven of us can get 6 cents!"

After Gu Qingyu gave each person two cents, she continued, "There are still many wild chrysanthemums on the mountain, and we can continue picking them. Okay, take the money and don't spend it carelessly! Let's adjourn!" Gu Qingyu waved her hand and ended the money-sharing activity.

When the family gathered in the main hall for dinner in the evening, Gu Qingyu noticed that his eldest cousin Gu Jiangsheng was a little restless. He twisted and turned on the stool from time to time, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Brother? What's wrong with you?" Gu Qingyu's voice attracted the attention of all the Gu family members.

Li Dahua is still very concerned about her eldest grandson. When she sees his expression, she knows that something is wrong.

"What's the matter, dear grandson?"

"Yeah, big brother, did you get into trouble at school?" Zhang Zaohua saw her eldest son like that and thought he was in trouble at school, so she asked casually. As a result, Li Dahua rolled her eyes. How could a mother say that to her own child?

Li Dahua hadn't said anything when she heard Gu Ping put his chopsticks on the table and stood up suddenly. "Are you in trouble?"

My uncle's family believes everything they hear, and Gu Qingyu held his forehead with a headache after hearing it.

"No, no!" the eldest cousin said hurriedly, really afraid that he would be beaten by his own father after he said it.

"The teacher asked you to go to school tomorrow..." Uncle Gu interrupted her before she could finish her words. "You said you didn't cause any trouble. If you hadn't caused any trouble, would the teacher let you call your parents?"

"Dad, please listen to me. The teacher only taught a few parents with good academic performance about the exam." The eldest cousin finished speaking in one breath.

Zhang Zaohua immediately burst into laughter when she heard this. She was very envious of the second brother's family who could earn so much salary every month, and she hoped that her children could get into university and become city dwellers.

"Go, go, go, ask your dad to go to town with you tomorrow morning!"

Every child of the Gu family who reached school age was required to go to school. This was a common theme in Gujia Village. After all, when most people could barely make ends meet, the Gu family's commitment to sending their children to school was quite remarkable.

Li Dahua was very adamant about this; after all, she was a visionary old lady. My eldest cousin was in the second year of junior high school in town and would graduate soon. My second cousin was in the fifth grade and, after graduating from elementary school, would be able to get into the town's middle school. My third cousin was only in the second grade, so it was still early for him to take the entrance exam.

The next day, Gu Ping returned from school with the teacher's reply. At that time, after graduating from junior high school, students generally had two choices: either apply to a technical secondary school or to high school. I mainly considered the student's choice.

"I think he should go to high school and then take the college entrance examination after graduating from high school!" Zhang Zaohua's only wish was that her son could be admitted to college.

"After three years of technical secondary school, you can graduate and get a job, which is great. But you can get into university just by passing the entrance exam." Gu Ping is more inclined towards technical secondary school.

The couple disagreed and turned their attention to the old couple.

"Dad, Mom, who do you support?"

"Hmph! I don't support anyone!" Old Man Gu snorted.

"Are you going to take the exam? No, what are you guys suggesting? Wait until Jiang Sheng comes back tonight and ask the child what he thinks."

When Gu Jiangsheng came back that night, the family sat together to discuss the matter. Gu Qingyu sat on Li Dahua's lap and heard her eldest cousin say, "Mom, Dad, Grandma, I want to go to technical secondary school!"

"Boss! Go to high school. Don't you want to go to college?" Zhang Zaohua looked at the boss and said with a bit of disappointment.

"Big brother's wife, don't interrupt, listen to what the child has to say!"

"School started a while ago. This year, the city organized a joint entrance exam. My results put me outside the top 400 in the city, so I can't even get into a good high school. With my grades, if I work hard, I can get into our county's agricultural school. Graduates from this school will be assigned jobs."

Gu Qingyu listened from the side and felt that his cousin was a very pragmatic and steady person.

Except for Zhang Zaohua who was muttering to herself, the whole family supported her cousin's opinion.
