Quick Transmigration: When Can I Just Lay Down and Wait to Die?

Chapter 294 The Little Deaf-Mute of the Era 10

Three years passed in this way, and the three older siblings all entered junior high school: Liu Yushan was in the third year of junior high, Liu Yuhe was in the second year of junior high, and Liu Yumei was in the first year of junior high.

Because Liu Yuxi is open to all kinds of knowledge, she is now controlling her studies at the second year of junior high school so that her older brother can go to high school smoothly.

The "catfish effect" works everywhere. The three older siblings all had excellent grades in their class, and their family background was that of three generations of poor farmers. As long as they had outstanding grades, they would definitely have no problem getting into high school.

In the past three years, my aunt and Niu Xiaolan each gave birth to a boy: Liu Yuhai, born in 69, and Liu Yuhu, born this year, to my aunt.

My uncle also married Lin Ling, the youngest daughter of the village headman, in 69. Lin Ling had four older brothers. She was the youngest daughter in her family. There were many able-bodied men in her family, and her father was the village headman, so she only graduated from junior high school.

To be honest, Liu Xiaozhu was able to marry her purely because of her looks. Lin Ling was a looks-obsessed person. In those days, people in the village had a certain idealism towards intellectuals. However, her family wouldn't let her consider the educated youth from the village. So, after much deliberation, she finally settled on Liu Xiaozhu.

In other words, Lin Ling's family are honest people who didn't think about marrying into a higher social class. Her family felt that Qi Da was not a suitable match for her, so they decided to marry someone nearby. With her brothers looking after her, they weren't worried that Lin Ling would be mistreated.

After the two got married, Lin Ling entered the family with joy and gave birth to a daughter in 70, named Liu Yuhui.

Zhang Dani was naturally not very satisfied. Her two stepsons had both given birth to sons first, so they didn't care much about whether their children were boys or girls. But when it came to her own son, he had given birth to a daughter first.

She didn't make it too obvious. The Lin family was better off than the Liu family. If she went too far, not to mention the clan, Liu Xiaozhu's four brothers-in-law alone wouldn't let her son have an easy time.

So, she would only whisper a few words to Liu Laogen behind his back, occasionally urging Lin Ling to have more children. Fortunately, Lin Ling later gave birth to two more sons, Liu Yulin and Liu Yusen, in 72 and 75, and with her own grandsons, Zhang Dani's life was complete.

There are three sisters-in-law in the family. There are no major conflicts, but sometimes there are occasional quarrels. Wang Xiaomei and Niu Xiaolan are sisters-in-law after all, and have lived together for more than ten years, so their relationship is naturally quite close.

Lin Ling was quite spoiled at home. She had an elderly mother and four sisters-in-law. She hadn't done much housework since she was a child. Although she knew how to do some things, she could only say that she was good at them. In addition, she was spoiled at home and was still young, so she had a bit of a temper.

So there are occasional quarrels at home. However, Wang Xiaomei and Niu Xiaolan are older after all. To put it bluntly, their eldest child is only a few years younger than Lin Ling.

Lin Ling herself had attended junior high school and was very kind to the Liu family's children who had good grades. In return for her kindness to the children, Wang Xiaomei and Niu Xiaolan reciprocated.

However, it's impossible for a large family to live together without any conflicts. Even teeth can bite the tongue. People are selfish. There's only so much stuff in a house, so who wouldn't want to take more for their own little family?

In the past few years, Liu Yuxi and his siblings have often been able to find wild eggs whenever they go up the mountain. After Liu Yushan went to junior high school in town, Liu Yuxi led him to think about selling medicinal herbs to the purchasing station.

Driven by his desire for money, Liu Yushan actually found out about several common herbs in the area and also inquired with the doctor at the clinic about some simple processing methods.

In their spare time, the family often dug up medicinal herbs, processed them, and sold them to the purchasing station, which brought in more and more money for the family. Moreover, whenever an adult in the family went up the mountain, Liu Yuxi would help catch one or two pheasants or rabbits.

Therefore, the Liu family's life has been getting better and better in recent years. They are well-off, their children are all doing well, and the atmosphere at home is good.

Liu Yuxi decided that he would study at home to obtain his high school diploma and then go to school to take the graduation exam. He thought that schools would not be so strict with special needs children, and that society is still very humane.

As for university, that depends on whether her older siblings will take the college entrance examination. If they do, she can choose the major that interests her and go to the same university. That way, she can at least attend university in a reasonable way.

As the children in the family entered high school one by one, time seemed to be accelerated, and the four siblings received their high school diplomas in 1974, 1975, and 1976 respectively.

Liu Yuxi received her graduation certificate along with her brother Liu Yuhe, but she always studied at home with her older siblings and only went to school when there were exams.

She received her primary and junior high school diplomas directly through exams. Her high school was in the county, and while her older siblings lived at the school for three years, she had to take exams at the end of each semester, as living at the school was not very convenient for her.

The three siblings were all 18 years old when they graduated from high school. There were no jobs or factories available, so they all returned to their village to farm after graduation.

In the countryside, children should be looking for a spouse by the age of 17 or 8. But with the example set by their uncles, the siblings are all considered to be among the more outstanding of their peers, so they are naturally quite picky. They are neither too picky nor too picky, and since they haven't met anyone they like, their marriages have been delayed again and again.

Starting in 76, people who had been sent down to the countryside began to be rehabilitated in various surrounding villages. Liu Yuxi often led his family to discuss this matter, asking, "Who are these people who have been rehabilitated? Will they have to return to their original posts after they are rehabilitated and go back to the city?" As the conversations became more frequent, his family began to have some expectations.

So many professors have been exonerated. If they return to their original positions, does that mean the country might reinstate the college entrance examination? Otherwise, why exonerate them in the first place?

If you don't pay attention to many things, you might suddenly hear news about them one day. But if you pay attention at all times, you'll find that many things happen with clues.

The Liu family was quite excited. Given this expectation, Wang Xiaomei and Niu Xiaolan were no longer in a hurry for their children's marriage. After all, even if it was delayed for another two years, their children would still be choosing someone else's partner.

Zhang Dani had even more ideas. Her own granddaughter and grandson were still young, but she had a son and daughter-in-law. Both of them had graduated from junior high school, although they had been away from school for many years.

But we have four high school students in the family, so we can give them extra lessons from time to time. If the college entrance examination is ever reinstated, we won't regret it. We have plenty of labor at home now, so we can always find time to study.

Especially Liu Yuxi, who is only twelve years old now and not yet considered a laborer, and whose family doesn't need her two work points, was assigned by Comrade Zhang Dani to tutor Liu Xiaozhu and his wife.

The other three would come to relieve Liu Yuxi after they finished work. To be honest, Liu Xiaozhu and his wife had basically forgotten most of what they had learned, except for the things they could use in daily life. After all, the two of them hadn't even gotten into high school back then.

So Liu Yuxi directly tutored the two of them from elementary school. Since they had studied it before, they were able to grasp the knowledge up to high school level well. After three months of intensive study, they basically mastered it, at least better than when they were in school.
