Chapter 91: Talking about Reading
It was hot at noon, and adults didn't want to go out at all, so there were only little kids who climbed mountains and creeped into the forest under the sun.
Qiuyue came to find Jinhuan specifically, thinking about going to the mountains to pick black plums together.
Black plums, the product in the midsummer, are actually fresh plums that have just been picked, can only be called green plums or yellow plums.
Plums must be made through special smoke or soaked in salt water in the sun and night. After about ten days, white frost will grow on the plums before they can be called black plums or white frost plums.
Because of its acidity, black plums can be used as a health care medicine for many diseases in traditional Chinese medicine.
It is often used for chronic cough, diarrhea and dysentery, ascariasis and abdominal pain, so it is mostly necessary to collect the purchase station.
Since I tasted the sweetness of selling chestnuts before, Qiuyue will pick some simple and common medicines when she is free. Although the price is not high, it will not be confused about the mistakes and is also a relatively stable income.
Qiuyue's father is getting better today in spring and can also do some relaxing work. In addition, Qiuyue's second master can have one and a half-person work points.
Now there is a subsidy for Qiuyue to collect herbs and mountain products. The three of them live a happy life. Qiuyue is much more lively than before.
Qiuyue said happily to Jinhuan: "I will go to school when school starts in autumn!"
"It's great to go to school. You can learn fonts and arithmetic!" replied happily.
"Jihuan, are you going to school too? Then we can be together every day?"
"That may not work. My grandfather said I am too young and I will have to wait a few more years!" In fact, it was just the meaning of "Just Happy".
Because she didn't want to sit in elementary school classrooms, she followed a group of kids to learn addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, with both upper and lower levels. When she thought about that scene, she felt very melodious.
Qiuyue was excited when she talked about going to school, "I thought I would definitely not be able to go to school. Seeing Chunsheng going to school, I felt so envious. I only realized yesterday that my father had prepared my tuition fees long ago!"
"Your father is so sensible! Look, none of the girls in the village have gone to school!" Jin Huan felt that Qiuyue's father He Mingrong was one of the few sensible people in the village.
This probably has something to do with He Mingrong's vision when he broadened his horizons outside in his early years, otherwise he wouldn't have married Qiuyue's mother, a petite lady who had studied.
Qiuyue nodded and said, "Yeah! My father said that no matter whether a boy or a girl or a girl, he should go to school. If a boy or a girl doesn't study, he can still join the army. If a girl doesn't study, he has to marry and have children early. He is trapped in the village and has no future for the rest of his life!"
"Actually, the same is true for boys. Even if they can join the army, soldiers without education cannot become cadres!" Jinhuan added.
Qiuyue sighed, "But there are few people sending boys to study in the village, otherwise everyone can go to and from school with their companions!"
"Maybe the conditions do not allow it, or maybe it is because I feel that I can't read it!" Jinhuan felt very sorry, but he was helpless in his inability to change anything.
Qiuyue felt that it made sense after hearing this. When she talked about her money for school, she felt that her father was really speechless to her.
The only one in the village who can spend all the family’s money to let the girl in the family study is probably the only one in Xu Zuye who can have the courage to do so.
"Yes, my father saved the money I had when I was in school for several years. My father hadn't taken it out for so long before. He said that the money was originally planned to be for me to go to school!"
"Not everyone has the vision of your father. The country always needs to develop, and intellectuals and cultural people are indispensable," Jinhuan said to Qiuyue in a low voice:
"If we work hard to study and learn knowledge, we can fill in those gaps, instead of staying in the village for the rest of our lives, facing the loess and the sky!"
Qiuyue was stunned for a moment and said, "You said your little brain is so smart. You said almost exactly the same as my father.
He said that even if he couldn't find a good job after studying, learning some medical skills or techniques after studying and learning literacy, it would be easier to be a barefoot doctor and technician than to work in the fields!"
"I am also taught by my ancestors," Jinhuan quickly summarized his statement, "There are so many children in the village who can't afford to go to school, so we should cherish them even more if we have the opportunity!"
Jinhuan has been in the village for so long, but he can't do the kind of thing that stands and talks without a headache. After all, this is the case in rural areas now. Most adults are thinking about how to eat a full meal all day long.
As for the baby who goes to school, if you have money, you will go to school for two years. If you don’t have money or if the baby is able to work, then you will drop out of school and come back to work and go to work.
The teaching conditions are also poor now. Many teachers in villages and even communes have been studying for a few years and can learn basic literacy arithmetic.
As for these teachers who are engaged in these education work, they are all private teachers who earn job points. They may not even have been to the provincial capital once, and have not read many books that broaden their horizons. What can I teach the outside world and the future to my students?
Not to mention methods and strategies to motivate and encourage students to study hard.
With the news blocked and no one guided it correctly, many babies go to school and don’t know why they have to go to school and what is the use of going to school.
After attending aimlessly for a few years, I felt that going to school was useless, so I dropped out one after another.
When Jinhuan was in the third year of junior high school in her previous life, her father had several projects in other places and could not return home once a few months.
Her mother was also in a critical period of evaluating her professor's title at that time, and she couldn't take care of her at all.
So he invited a nanny who was over 40 years old to do laundry and cook for Jinhuan and take care of her daily life.
Jinhuan still remembers that aunt. She looked at Jinhuan's study and living room full of books, showing that very envious expression.
When asked why, the aunt said embarrassedly that when she went to school, she was the craziest period of the cultural storm.
At that time, when school was suspended, she had no intention of self-study. She felt that studying was not as good as cutting pigs and grass to earn work points.
Later, when the school resumed classes, she had forgotten all the classes she had learned and simply dropped out of school.
When the storm was over, the educated youth in the village were admitted to the university and returned to the city.
She was very envious, but it was too late at that time because she had already gotten married and had no chance to study anymore.
So she envies cultural people and intellectuals all her life.
Her husband favored boys over girls and did not like her, and she only gave birth to two daughters, and she did not allow her to study. She divorced in anger.
She lived with her two daughters alone, worked hard to work as a nanny for others, and finally confessed to the two college students' daughters.
Jinhuan remembers that nanny aunt who often reads children's books from Jinhuan when she was doing housework with relish when she was young.
The nanny aunt worked at Jinhuan's house for more than four years, and she read all the books on Jinhuan's bookshelf, and even some of the popular books professionally popularized by Jinhuan's parents.
This incident had a great impact on Jinhuan, which directly led to Jinhuan's habit of reading for life.
Although my life in my previous life was a little short, Jinhuan really insisted on studying every day and never slacked off for a day.
Even when I was traveling to Nigeria, after Jinhuan finished 12308, he could calmly find an e-book reader from his bag and sit next to the tent to read the book.
The people next to him either felt that Jinhuan was mentally ill, or they stretched out their thumbs to give Jinhuan a capital dress.
