Chapter 397: Chapter 398 Going to School 2

Now, whether to be a soldier or a worker, you need at least to have graduated from junior high school!

She doesn’t want her own son to end up like them, doing backbreaking work in the fields, earning paltry work points that can’t even fill their bellies.

If one wants to be successful, they must study and later become a worker.

However, Ma Xiulian said, "Guibao is still young and not in a hurry to go to school. If he doesn’t want to go, he doesn’t need to. Let Dabao and Dani and the older ones go first."

She’s sure that her Guibao will study and live a good life in the city. However, it’s not too late for her to go to school after playing for a couple of years since she is still young.

As for the other children in the house, if they can go, they should. Having more book knowledge in their bellies is always a good thing.

Helian Qiao nodded in agreement: "I don’t want to go to school."

She understands her so well!

After thinking for a while, Chen Jianjun saw the truth in that and didn’t say anything more.

The girls who had been sitting quietly by the side, because they knew that this topic of going to school doesn’t concern them.

But hearing that Guibao could go, they felt a trace of envy in their hearts.

Upon hearing their grandmother’s words, they were first taken aback, then joyous: could they go too?!

They had never thought that they would be able to go to school as it was something they didn’t dare dream about.

Zhao Mei was both happy and sad after hearing this. This is because she was worried and said, "But when we all go to school, who will do the housework?"

Of course, she wished her girls could be educated and become cultured individuals, eventually married into a city family where they can have a rationed supply of grain.

As for household chores like washing clothes, sweeping the floor, collecting firewood, foraging for wild vegetables, these were tasks usually completed by the girls. The adults were busy working the fields from morning to night, and they rarely had the time to do miscellaneous tasks.

"There are now the twins to look after, as well as Jinbao and Liuni. I’m due to give birth soon, and Sini alone wouldn’t be able to handle everything."The more she spoke, the more worried she became.

Chen Jianmin happened to come out of the house carrying a bowl, hearing her words and said with a gentle voice, "We could manage the twins ourselves."

He had his extra carpentry income. Liu Lanzhi could take care of the children while doing light work, earned a little less work credit, that’s all.

Moreover, he also wanted his nieces and nephews to study and stand out in the future.

"But going to school costs money." A worried expression emerged on the honest face of Chen Jianguo.

They were about to split the family, and this money would have to be spent by each family.

As peasants who worked on the lands, they barely saved a few pennies each year. All the money saved was to prepare for the son’s future marriage.

Ma Xiulian calmly said: "There is no tuition or textbook fee, just the cost of pens and exercise books, which doesn’t amount to much. However, whether to take them to school is entirely up to you."

The primary school was built with the funds from Factory Director Gu and Manyun. They didn’t charge any tuition, not to mention they paid for textbooks and teachers’ salaries. They didn’t get a penny from the commune.

The couple are truly good people!

Having said that, she picked up her little granddaughter and went to the kitchen room to wash up. The younger generation returned to their rooms.

As soon as Zhou Zhaodi walked through the door, she pulled Chen Jiandang to sit on the side of the bed and said, "Both of our sons are definitely going to school. Liuni is already nearly two years old. We can have Sini look after her. What do you think?"

She had already decided, no matter what, Dabao and Erbao were going to school.

"Alright." Chen Jiandang had no objections, his wife is certainly more clever than him.

Chen Jianye looked at Sanni and Xiaobao who stood before him: "Xiaobao will go to school, while Sanni stays at home to help take care of Jinbao."

"I’m not going! Let Sanni go!" Chen Xiaobao immediately protested unwillingly.

What’s so fun about school? He just wanted to play outside.
