144 I Don't Want to Read

Because they were going to report in the school the next day, several children were very excited, and the next morning, several children got up early.

Gu Xiaowan was the first to get up, and she would have to rush for an hour later, if she didn't eat breakfast, it would not work. After she got dressed at first, she crept into the kitchen. Gu Ningping followed closely without seeing it.

As soon as Gu Xiaowan came to the kitchen, Gu Ningping came right after him, the expression on her face was reluctant.

"Sister..." Gu Ningping followed into the kitchen and saw that Gu Xiaowan was busy with her work, her face was a little confused.

"What's wrong?"

"Sister, I don't want to go to the school!" Gu Ningping gathered up his courage and finally said it. He has been thinking about this for many days. He is not a student, and he really doesn't want to go to the school to waste money.

"Why?" Gu Xiaowan didn't expect Gu Ningping to say this. She thought that Gu Ningping had already been persuaded last time, but she didn't expect that Gu Ningping still didn't want to go. Thinking of how Gu Ningping frowned these days, Gu Xiaowan finally thought about why it was like this. .

"Sister, I'm not a candidate for reading. You see, I've been learning to write for so long, but I haven't learned a few. I'm not a candidate for reading at all!" Gu Ningping scratched his hair angrily, very discouraged.

"Brother is very good at reading, sister, brother, let's go to study alone, I'll be at home." Gu Ningping didn't want to study, and had two thoughts in his heart.

One is that I don't like reading, and if I go to study, I'm wasting my family's money. My sister makes money alone, but I can imagine how hard it is. He really doesn't want her sister's hard-earned money to be spent in useless places.

There is another one, that my sister and Xiao Yi are both girls, and the two girls are staying at home alone. Gu Ningping is really worried.

"Tell your sister why first!" Gu Xiaowan was not in a hurry to answer Gu Ningping's words, but calmly induced Gu Ningping to tell the reason.

"Sister, our family is poor, and we still have to pay so many repairs to go to school. Also, you and Xiao Yi are at home, so I don't worry about it!" Gu Ningping said.

Gu Xiaowan nodded and knew what Gu Ningping was thinking. Gu Xiaowan didn't think it was a problem with Gu Ningping's two worries.

"Ning Ping, listen to your elder sister's words and go to school with your elder brother. My elder sister doesn't care about the two worries you mentioned." Gu Xiaowan said, "My elder sister earns some money, so she can naturally pay for you and Ning An's tuition. , and also, aren't Brother Stone and Aunt Zhang there, they will come and see from time to time, and I will go to them if I have something to do, so don't worry!"

"But...sister" Gu Ningping was still worried and said stubbornly: "Sister, I'm not going! I want to stay at home and take good care of you and my sister!"

After Gu Xiaowan heard Gu Ningping's words, she was moved.

However, Gu Xiaowan couldn't follow Gu Ningping's temperament.

The only chance for the children of this farm family to turn around is to go to school, which is exactly the same as in the 21st century.

Only after reading, it is possible not to return to the countryside to farm, otherwise, generation after generation will shave food in the soil.

"Ning Ping, my sister understands your thoughts, but I also want to tell you that there are many ways to protect me and my sister. Only when you are strong can you protect us! You are not strong, no matter how you stay by our side, It can't be protected either." Gu Xiaowan said earnestly.

Gu Xiaowan's words are not wrong, and there is some truth to it. If ordinary people bully Gu Xiaowan and the others, that's fine, but what if there is a local ruffian, a hooligan, or a second-generation official? How did Gu Ningping, who came from civilians, protect them?

Only when they are so strong that others can only look up at them, can they not be bullied.

Gu Ningping didn't know if he understood it or not. Seeing Gu Xiaowan's attitude was so determined, he could only give up: "Well, sister, I'll go to school!"

Gu Xiaowan looked at Gu Ningping's still reluctant look, and didn't know what it was like. Look at this poor family, this family is really poor.

Ning Ping didn't want to waste money, that's all forgivable. In this village, how many families have their children sent to study? The rich went to the town, and the poor stayed in the village. Those boys, who went down to the ground or went up the mountain early to find food, sold money, and subsidized their families, may only be like this for the rest of their lives.

If they can't take this step, in the future, even their descendants can only do this.

Gu Xiaowan didn't want this, she wanted to change the fate of her family's poverty. Father and mother died early because of poverty, and their family was driven out by the Cao family because of poverty. Now a few thin children, if they don’t climb up, do they spend their whole lives chopping wood and farming in this Wuxi village? ? And then their descendants, just like them, go round and round and pass it down from generation to generation?

Gu Xiaowan saw that Gu Ningping was still worried, and she didn't know how much she heard what she said just now.

It's not like I haven't seen people who don't want to read before. I remember in the past, a boy from the next door seemed to have a grudge against the textbooks. One tore one book, and two tore two books. Later, he dared to challenge the teacher in public in class, saying that he would not go to class. The person really had no choice but to drop him out of school. This baby doesn't know how docile a person is at home, but she just doesn't know how to go to school, so she's so perverse.

However, the reason why Gu Ningping didn't want to study was quite touching to Gu Xiaowan.

Only one step, one step at a time.

Gu Xiaowan cooked the dumplings left over from last night, and when the four children had eaten, Gu Xiaowan looked outside, it was still dark. There is an hour in the town, in order to hurry, I have to leave.

After packing up, Gu Xiaowan is about to go out.

Suddenly, there was a sound of Xixing Susuo and Heyu, and then there was a voice: "Xiao Wan, open the door!"

"It's Brother Stone!" Gu Ningping's ears were sharp and his reaction was quicker. As soon as he finished speaking, his whole body rushed out, and he opened the door and responded, "Brother Stone!"

Gu Xiaowan also walked out quickly, it's still not dawn yet, what is the stone running for?

When he walked out the door, Shi Shi just happened to jump off the ox cart. When he saw Gu Xiaowan, he said happily, "Xiaowan, today I will send the two brothers Ning An to the school!"
