Chapter 43: School Begins

  "You're a smooth talker, you can really spin a tale and make people happy." Tian Maohang's dark face suddenly broke into a smile.

  Before she knew it, the new semester had begun. The fourth-grade classroom was just as shabby as she remembered: broken desks and chairs, a dilapidated room, and a bumpy blackboard with "Welcome back, classmates" scrawled on it.

  "Hey Tianwan! I heard you went to the county town many times during summer vacation! We visited your home several times, and your sister said you and your grandfather went to the county town. Wow, we're so envious of you! We've only been to the town a few times at our age, and we still haven't been to the county town!"

  As soon as Tian Wei walked into the classroom, she was surrounded by her usual friends. "Quickly tell us, is the county town pretty? Are there many beautiful clothes and delicious food?"

  Tian Wei smiled lightly, "The county town is bigger than the town, and there are rich people in the town. Private cars of wealthy families can be seen everywhere on the streets. There are many delicious food, fun places, and beautiful clothes. So, we must study hard, take the high school entrance exam in the county, and go to university in the future!"

  As soon as Tian Wei started talking about studying, several girls burst out laughing and said that after going to the county town, she seemed like a different person.

  At that time, there were very few schools in rural areas. Every year, except for the first-grade students who were added, the number of students decreased as they advanced to higher grades.

  When Tian Wei was in the third grade, there were two classes of third graders. Each class had more than 30 students. But when they entered the fourth grade, many fewer students remained. One class lost over a dozen students, and most of those who left were girls. Except for some who moved away from the village to attend school elsewhere, most of them dropped out because their families were poor. People thought that girls would just get married in the future, so it was pointless for them to study too much.

  So in the fourth grade, they simply merged into one class, with a few more people, over 40 people filled the entire classroom. Also because of the merger of the fourth grade, Tian Huan was not very happy to be in the same class as Tian Mei Mei.

  Several little sisters were listening to Tian Yuan talk about the county town, when Tian Mei Mei walked in with a bundle of cloth on her shoulder. At that time, there was no school bag, and students' bags were all made by their parents using old cloth and sewing machines into a diagonal cross-body bag.

  Tian Mei's hands were both in her pockets, one of which had a hole, and you could see the fingers she was hiding inside. As soon as she came in, she casually found a seat, but the teacher hadn't arrived yet, so the seating arrangement wouldn't be rearranged until then.

  Tian Mei took out her own homework and put it on the table, smiling at Tian Huan and a few others, calling out "older sister" and saying, "Older sister, you've been running to the county town every day lately, have you finished your homework? The teacher will be collecting it later for inspection, if you haven't done it, you'll be kept behind."

  In the countryside, Tian Mei Mei, a "good student" with passing grades, had an unconscious sense of pride and superiority. She would often look down on classmates who didn't do well in school. With her mother's younger sister constantly praising her, Tian Mei Mei felt even more invincible.

  "What? If I don't finish it, are you going to lend me a copy or help me copy it?" Tian Yuan replied.

  As soon as homework was mentioned, Tian Wei's several sisters began to worry a bit. Everyone had helped with household chores during the summer vacation and didn't have much time to do their homework. Moreover, their grades were not good to begin with, and for this assignment, 7 or 8 out of 10 questions were unsolvable.
