Chapter 30 30 Expectations for the future

The old doctor was also amused. He pulled Xiya's little hands and feet and did several difficult movements.

He pinched his joints again and listened to his heart and lungs.

"Don't worry, the little girl is developing normally and there is no problem."

"Some children are born with better physical fitness than others. Some differences from children of the same age are not a big deal."

"Take her back and raise her well. Don't be like those short-sighted people who favor boys over girls. This girl is very spiritual. If you raise her well, your luck will be behind you."

Wu Bo heard such words twice today. He was very happy and proud.

"Thank you, I will do it." She carefully put on the clothes for Xiya, then wrapped her in swaddling clothes, and tied her chest, carefully protecting her.

He took out two cents from his pocket and handed it to the old doctor.

The old doctor waved his hand and refused: "No, there are no medicines or injections. There is no need. Come back quickly, it's a cold day."

Wu Bo thanked him again and left with Xiya in his arms.

Xiya said goodbye to the old doctor.

However, no one could understand her baby talk.

When he arrived at the commune intersection, Lao Niutou and Wang Shangui were waiting for him.

As soon as he walked over, Wang Shangui asked: "How is it?"

Wu Bo smiled and said, "The doctor said it's fine. The child is fine."

"That's good. Come back quickly. Don't freeze this girl."

The three of them drove the bullock cart to the village and separated.

Wu Bo held Xiya in his arms and walked back with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

When they walked to the door, Zhao Lian came out to welcome Xiya, took Xiya over, lowered her head and pressed a piece on Xiya's little face, and Xiya also rubbed her mother's face affectionately. Mother and daughter were both happy in an instant.

"What did the doctor say?"

Wu Bo smiled and said: "It's okay."

Zhao Lian felt relieved and carried Xiya into the house. Grandma Wu was also thinking about her.

After Grandma Wu and Xiya had made love, she fed the little man something to eat and peeed, and then little Xiya fell asleep.

Only then did Wu Bo talk about today's meeting.

"The leaders of the commune want this school to be established."

"I think this is a good thing. Our barley family is getting older and it's time to go to school."

"We can teach her knowledge, but we can't teach her how to get along and friendship among children of the same age. There will always be shortcomings."

"Da Mai needs to have more contact with children of the same age. That child is too quiet and thoughtful. If things continue like this, he may develop heart problems."

Damai is steady and sensible, and is beyond the maturity of children of the same age. This makes the three adults of the Wu family feel that this is not a good thing. It is better for children to behave like children.

Wu Bo suffered from not having a childhood. He didn't want his children to go through his same path.

Although Da Mai also has friends in the village, they are different.

Grandma Wu and Zhao Lian also agreed. When the school was built, they had to send a few children to study even though they were trying to sell iron.

Zhao Lian asked: "To build a school, teachers must be needed. Dad, can you go?"

Grandma Wu is also very excited. Being a teacher is better than being a scorer in the team.

Although the job of a scorekeeper is easy, you have to run back and forth in the fields every day. When the farming is busy, you also have to go to the fields to help.

Wu Bo's legs swelled up every time he was busy farming. After the busy farming season, he was shivering in pain and had to lie down for several days before he could go to the ground.

Not only would life be easier if he became a teacher, Wu Bo would also be able to read and study openly.

He likes to read, but due to various factors, he can only secretly read some old newspapers, which is quite sad when he thinks about it.

If you have all the knowledge and ambitions, but can only shrink back, anyone will be unwilling and angry.

Wu Bo thought of this the moment he heard about the construction of a school.

"It's not impossible, but the chance of success or failure is half."

"Not many people in our commune are literate. Counting the left and right, I'm afraid the people in our family are more literate."

"From this aspect, my chances are very good."

"However, due to the ingredient issue, it should be a point of attack by competitors and an area of ​​concern for leaders."

"So this matter depends on the specific situation. Maybe they will also borrow people from other communes."

Zhao Lian's hopes were suddenly dashed. She couldn't help but feel sad and felt unfair for Wu Bo.

Grandma Wu also blamed herself: "If it weren't for me..."

"Mom," Wu Bo interrupted Grandma Wu: "If it weren't for you, where would I be? I don't blame anyone for this. Don't think about it anymore. No matter what life we ​​live, we are destined to experience it."

"As long as our family is together and safe, nothing else matters. I am very satisfied with my current life."

Grandma Wu forced a smile and never mentioned this issue again.

"By the way, how many pigs can our team get? And chickens and ducks? Can our family get a pig?"

Wu Bo said: "Every family can get chickens and ducks, so don't worry."

"But there are only ten piglets. I heard from the brigade leader that there are more than ten families who have mentioned to him that they want to raise piglets. I'm afraid it won't be easy to divide them, and they have to be based on the previous year's work points and reputation. Our family doesn't need to

Think about it."

Grandma Wu was very disappointed. She also thought that if she could get a pig, she would be able to contribute more to the family.

Forget it.

"In this case, we don't want to think about it anymore. Before work starts, we will go to the private plot tomorrow, turn over the soil, and grow sweet potato seedlings."

"I still need to clear a piece of land and plant vegetables, so as not to be busy later and have no time."

"We have to grow more corn this year. The children at home are older and there is not enough to eat."

"We need to increase the variety of other fruits and vegetables and save them for winter, so as not to be like last winter again." The days of sweet potatoes every day are really unbearable.

"I'm also thinking about clearing out the wasteland behind our house and using the sand to grow peanuts."

"Peanuts are very valuable. Once grown, they can be exchanged for a lot of coarse grains."

Grandma Wu arranged the tasks in a soft voice with much more energy this year than in previous years, with hope and hope in her tone.

Maybe it’s because the children at home are getting older and the cost of food and clothing has increased.

Or maybe it’s because I’ve been through hell for a while and gained a deeper understanding.

With the arrival of Xiya, the family should also make some changes and efforts.

Zhao Lian frowned and said, "But we can't get peanut seeds, and there isn't much manure. Peanuts are greedy, so I'm afraid it won't be easy to get."

Grandma Wu doesn't have to worry about fertilizer. There is a lot of mulch on the mountain, so just bring some back and add some manure.

It’s just that peanut seeds are hard to get.

Grandma Wu sighed and said, "Then don't think about what to plant for the time being. That piece of land is good, and it won't be a loss if you plant it."

"I'm fine at home anyway, and DaMai and the others are old enough to help with the work, so I'll take DaMai and the others and start driving slowly."

Zhao Lian disagreed and said: "Mom, please don't do anything. There are many rocks and tree roots there, so it will be a laborious job to dig out."

"I'll just take the time to do it. Just work hard to help me look after the buds. You don't have to worry about anything else. I and the baby's father are at home."

Grandma Wu didn't want to argue with Zhao Lian, so she waved her hand indifferently.

"Okay, I won't say anything in advance. Spring plowing is about to begin. During this period, let's eat two meals a day to keep ourselves healthy. Especially you and Bo'er must take good care of yourself. Go cook."

"Okay," Zhao Lian packed up and went to cook.

The next day, Zhao Lian and Wu Bo took barley and wheat to work in the private plot, but the young couple did not let Grandma Wu follow them.

Grandma Wu was at home with Xiao Xiyao and rice and millet. The land reclamation had to wait for the land to thaw again, so she prepared to roll hemp rope.
