What was even more unexpected to Xia Hongjun was that Guangming Daily specifically commented on this novel in the cultural edition, and the article read:

“All the praises you can think of about teachers are not as good as this novel:”

What can you think of praise for teachers?

Are there many students all over the world?

Learn to be a teacher and behave in the world?

The silkworm will not stop until it dies, and the candle will not stop the tears from drying out?

Yes, these are all extremely high praises to teachers, but all of them are not as good as today's "Rural Teacher"!

At the end of the article, it also says that although it is just a science fiction novel, it makes us realize that "no matter how hard it is, it cannot be hard for children, and no matter how poor it is, it cannot be poor for education." This sentence is definitely not just empty talk.

On April 12, last year (1986), the Fourth Session of the Sixth National People's Congress passed the "Compulsory Education Law of the People's Republic of China", which stipulates that the state implements a nine-year compulsory education and requires provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities to determine the steps to promote compulsory education based on the economic and cultural development status of the region.

Governments at all levels must make great efforts to implement it, and tragedies like Teacher Li in the book must not be repeated...

In addition, knowledgeable people called in the newspaper that the country is still poor and can raise education funds through multiple channels, widely mobilize domestic and foreign financial resources in private ways, establish foundations, fund out-of-school children in poor areas to continue their studies, improve school conditions in poor areas, and promote the development of basic education in poor areas.

This made Xia Hongjun suddenly think of a noun.

Hope Project!

Wouldn't it be a pleasant thing if a novel can make society progress in some aspects?

It was dark, and the originally noisy carriage became quiet, and only the "bang, bang" train made a very rhythmic sound.

Chen Zhaodi fell asleep leaning on Xia Hongjun's shoulder. Xia Hongjun slowly changed his position to make the girl sleep more comfortable.

After tonight, the train arrived in Anxi the next morning. It was already very close to home. Xia Hongjun felt a little excited.

How is the clothing factory at home now? I heard that it has expanded its scale.

My sister and her family moved to Xiping County to live in a new house. My little nephew is already two years old. I heard that she is so crazy that she really wants to hug him.

By the way, isn’t Lao Li going home from Shenzhen for the New Year this year? He is still bringing his young woman with him. I wonder if he has come back?

This guy, taste...

When Xia Hongjun thought of this, he showed a smile on his face.

In fact, he didn't know that Li Yancheng, who was far away in Shenzhen, was in great trouble.

...

...

It's ten o'clock in the evening now. As usual, Li Yancheng and He Hongmei were busy at the night market, but today they were sitting in He Hongmei's rental house, with relatively speechlessness and hearts.

They haven't set up a stall for nearly half a month.

"Yancheng, it's not a big deal to sit like this. We have to live and use money!" He Hongmei couldn't help but say in the end.

"Then what do you mean?" Li Yancheng looked up at He Hongmei.

"I'll go set up a stall tomorrow night! I don't believe in the law of the king?" He Hongmei was a little excited as she said.

"No!" Li Yancheng refused flatly: "My master said that those people are gangsters, gangsters, and they can do anything! I can't let you get into trouble!"

"But what if you continue to live like this?"

"Don't worry, I still have some savings...we're waiting to see." Li Yancheng comforted.

After hearing Li Yancheng's words, He Hongmei sighed softly.

"I'll go see Qiaoqiao. She has been stomping on the quilt when she was sleeping recently, afraid of catching a cold." He Hongmei said, standing up and walking towards the inner room.

Li Yancheng nodded, took out a pack of cigarette from his pocket, lit one and slowly started to smoke, and fell into deep thought.

Since the summer Hongjun came to Shenzhen for a conversation with him last summer vacation, he expressed his feelings to He Hongmei. The relationship between the two has made rapid progress. On the night of National Day last year, the two lived together with the drunkenness.

With the spring breeze all night, Li Yancheng tasted the joy of being a man for the first time.

From then on, during the day, Li Yancheng rode his bicycle to work on the construction site, He Hongmei took care of Qiaoqiao at home to prepare food, and at night the two rode tricycles happily to set up stalls at the night market, and their lives were booming.

But all this was broken by something unexpected.

The night market where He Hongmei set up a stall is located in the urban-rural fringe area, where there are mixed fish and dragons, and social security is relatively chaotic. I don’t know when, a group of gangsters appeared, who collected the protection fees for the stall owners under the guise of maintaining the night market security.

It is nothing new in this rapidly developing city. Although Li Yancheng is young and energetic, he can do it twice, but he knows that the strong dragon cannot suppress the local snake, not to mention that he and He Hongmei and his daughter have to live here.

So, like other stall owners, they had to pay the protection fee and everything was fine.

But last week it was the day to pay the monthly protection fee again. Three drunken minions came. Hong Kong people called Ma Zi and received He Hongmei's money. One of them drank a little too much. Seeing that He Hongmei was beautiful, he actually teased him and touched him.

How could Li Yancheng resist helping him? He quickly pulled He Hongmei aside and argued with the three horsemen. The horsemen relied on the large number of people and were aggressive, but they finally took action. As a result, they were no match for Li Yancheng at all, and they were beaten so hard that they were beaten to the point of pissing.

Before leaving, he said harshly: "Laozi, wait, see my elder brother come to deal with you!"

After going to work the next day, Li Yancheng quietly told his master Cui Tianhao. Cui Tianhao frowned when he heard this and told Li Yancheng to let He Hongmei avoid the limelight and not to set up a stall in the next few days.

"Yancheng, I heard from my father-in-law that those people are very fierce. The boss called Sun Jun who had eaten in prison. Those people are purely a group of outlaws. You should be careful!"

After hearing Cui Tianhao's words, Li Yancheng quickly rode his bike to He Hongmei's house after get off work in the afternoon, told her master Cui Tianhao's words, and told her not to set up a stall for the time being.

He Hongmei obeyed, and she also knew that in these places, they and other foreigners, should be extra careful. If something happened to her, she would implicate Li Yancheng.

No one came to her house for more than a week, and He Hongmei did not find anyone wandering around the house she rented.

Things didn't seem as terrible as imagined. He Hongmei felt that staying like this was not a big deal. After all, she wanted to live. So she asked Li Yancheng to go out to set up a stall tomorrow night.

Li Yancheng thought a lot. When chatting with his colleagues, he often heard his fellow workers say that his fellow villagers were bullied, either they were driven away by the factory boss without paying a penny or were injured by local gangsters.

So he insisted on watching for a few more days.

It was almost half past ten and it was time to go to bed. Li Yancheng stood up and stretched to wash and go to bed. Suddenly, he heard the barking of dogs outside, which seemed particularly harsh on this quiet night.

He moved his heart, walked to the door, quietly opened the door bolt and opened a crack, and looked out and was shocked.

Several black shadows were shaking on the road not far outside the door, and more footsteps were heard!
