Tian Xiaohua rode a big buffalo on the field ridge on the horizon. The road in the field was very narrow, and could only accommodate one or two animals. The buffalo walked leisurely on the grass in the field, gnawing on the withered grass.
Tian Xiaohua is a seventeen-year-old girl. At this moment, she is sitting on the broad back of the big buffalo. She is holding a book in her hand and reading it carefully. From time to time, she makes a soft reading sound from her mouth.
"This is my motherland, I love my motherland, my motherland is..." The morning sun shines on the bodies of Tian Xiaohua and the big buffalo grazing cattle, looking so warm and harmonious.
"Xiaohua, remember to put the cow outside the playground and tie it up, so that it doesn't eat the crops next to the school!" A middle-aged woman's voice sounded from behind.
"Hey... Mom, don't worry, I understand." Tian Xiaohua turned around and responded to her mother who came to give instructions worriedly, then turned her attention to the textbook in her hand.
Tian Xiaohua is located in Bailong Village, Dongdao Township, Xinfeng County, Guangdong Province. There are only more than 50 households in the village, and their daily life depends mainly on growing rice. There are many villages like Bailong in Guangdong, and Bailong is just one of them.
An inconspicuous existence.
Tian Xiaohua is seventeen years old this year. According to local customs, a girl of her age should have someone come to her door to arrange a marriage. However, some changes have occurred this year. Half a year ago, the county
A primary school was built in Dongdao Township, requiring all children over the age of eight and under sixteen to attend school, and began to implement the five-year compulsory education promulgated by the Guangdong Provincial Government. But what should people over this age do if they want to study? It doesn't matter.
, people of this age group can take free adult crash courses, which are also commonly known as adult classes. The study time is half a year. Tian Xiaohua entered the adult class more than five months ago and is about to graduate.
Many people do not understand this resolution of the provincial government, and even many farmers are still resistant. Some people may ask: Isn’t it a good thing for children to go to school? Moreover, the school does not charge tuition fees, and it allows children to learn
Knowledge, what a good thing this is? Why are there still people who resist it? People who say this may not understand that in rural areas, especially boys can start to help adults when they are about eleven or twelve years old. If
Going to school is equivalent to losing half of the labor. As for girls, let alone it. "The water thrown out by a married daughter" is an old saying that has been passed down since ancient times. Letting girls go to school is just a waste of time.
It's a loss-making business. Instead of letting them go to school, it's better to marry them off early.
Under this kind of thinking, the first five years of compulsory education did not win the support of the people, especially many farmers, but later the province issued a death order. Anyone who did not let their children go to school would have to take tough measures in the countryside.
In the past two months, old man Zhang from Bailong Village was even more worried about not letting his 12-year-old grandson and 13-year-old granddaughter go to school. Old man Zhang said, "What kind of books do we farmers study?"
If a scholar comes out, the girl will eventually get married. He doesn't want to cultivate a daughter-in-law who is educated for his future in-laws, so he should just work at home with the adults and wait to get married in two years. In order to
People from the village had mobilized for this matter. But Old Man Zhang refused to agree, and even said plausibly: "Since ancient times, your government officials have been in charge of the world and the land. Do you still care about my shit and farts? My grandson makes the decision and I won't let you."
If he studies, he will not be allowed to study."
Old man Zhang is famous for his stubbornness in the village. After he spoke like this, many people who originally wanted to persuade him backed down. Even the teacher sent by the school to mobilize his grandchildren to go to school was shocked by him.
After going back, the school had no choice but to report it to the township. After hearing this, the new township chief was very angry and sent two policemen from the township to arrest Old Zhang and take him to the township office overnight and lock him up.
At first, Old Man Zhang was quite stubborn. No matter how the villagers threatened him, he just refused to agree. Later, when the villagers saw that this was not going to work, they had no choice but to let Old Man Zhang go. At first, Old Man Zhang was quite proud and went back.
When he met people later, he said that the villagers couldn't do anything to him, but after a few days, Old Man Zhang discovered that something was wrong. The people in the village looked at him with a strange look, even with a sense of disgust.
Old Man Zhang didn't know what was going on at first, but later someone quietly told him that the story of Old Man Zhang had been spread all over the village, saying that Old Man Zhang had blocked his grandson's bright future for his own selfish reasons. He was originally a scholar.
However, out of laziness, old man Zhang refused to let his grandson go to school and blocked his future. Such a person is really bad.
Looking at the strange looks from the villagers, Old Man Zhang stood firm at first, but there has been a saying in China that three people can become a tiger since ancient times. Old Man Zhang's reputation for selfishness soon spread throughout the county, and he was criticized even when he went to the village market.
, now the face-loving old man Zhang couldn't stand it any longer, and finally agreed to let his grandson go to a school in the countryside. But the school said again that it's not enough for his grandson to go alone. Don't you have a granddaughter? She has to go to school together.
Finally, Old Man Zhang had to give in and finally agreed to let all his children go to school.
The example of Zhang Laohan is just one of countless farmers in Guangdong Province. There are many similar examples that I will not mention one by one. This is the Hope Project that Su Rui is going to carry out. His goal is to raise millions of farmers in Guangdong Province within three years.
At least 80% of the children can go to school, at least to the extent that they can write, read and calculate.
Tian Xiaohua rode a buffalo to the school. This is a school with ten large tile-roofed buildings, five of which are classrooms, one is the canteen, one is the teacher's office, and the other three are the teacher's dormitories. This school
There are more than 300 students in the school, but only five teachers. The shortage of teachers is a common situation in Guangdong at present.
But when Tian Xiaohua came to the school today, she found that the situation was a little different. There seemed to be a lot of people wearing colorful clothes in the school. There were also many soldiers wearing gray-green military uniforms patrolling around the school. They all looked different.
The solemn and fully armed appearance of Tian Xiaohua, who had lived in a remote mountain village since she was a child, made Tian Xiaohua feel nervous. Fortunately, when Tian Xiaohua rode a big buffalo to the school gate, the patrolling soldiers did not embarrass her.
, just looked at her a few times and ignored her.
Next to the school classroom was a wasteland covered with wild grass. Tian Xiaohua led the buffalo to the grass and let the buffalo graze on its own while he trotted towards the classroom.
When Tian Xiaohua came to the classroom, she found that many classmates were already sitting in her seat. Teacher Xue, who taught her Chinese, was chatting with two people. The two people were a middle-aged man and a
A young man, middle-aged, about forty years old. Although he has a face with a Chinese character, the expression on his face looks very amiable. Although the other young man looks pretty at first glance, his face often shows
He smiles, but the majesty shown in his eyes always makes people feel fearful.
Tian Xiaohua walked into the classroom and bowed lightly to Teacher Xue in the classroom. Teacher Xue was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He also nodded to Tian Xiaohua and pointed to the table.
Chair, signaling to take a seat quickly.
Tian Xiaohua did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly walked towards her seat and sat down. When the time came to eight o'clock in the morning, students arrived in the classroom one after another. Since it was an adult class, Tian Xiaohua's class was full of more than ten dozen students.
There are adults in their teens, and even those in their thirties who have already started a family, and they look very happy.
"Zhongxin, is this possible? How long have these talents been studying?" The middle-aged man next to him asked the young man next to him with some uncertainty. The person who said this was Zhang Zhizhong, the governor of Guangdong Province.
Young people are our Chief Su.
Su Rui pondered for a moment and then said: "Brother Wenbai, there is nothing we can do about this. New steel plants, smelters and even military factories require a large number of workers with certain basic knowledge, such as cashiers, accountants, inspectors and other talents.
There are not just dozens or hundreds of people, but tens of thousands. Poaching from abroad alone will certainly not be enough, and the children here who are in primary school will definitely not be able to do it. We can only target
It’s up to these adults. Is it possible that you would like to see that after the factory is built, there are not enough workers to start the operation, causing the factory to stop production?”
Talent is hard to find, this is the current situation in Suri. As equipment from seven or eight factories shipped from Poland is arriving one after another, new factories are also being built, so recruitment has become a top priority. Logically speaking, China has everything.
, that is, there is no shortage of people, and workers should not be difficult to recruit. But here is the problem. There is no shortage of workers in China, but there is a huge shortage of workers with certain basic knowledge.
Today's China is not like the era when masters were everywhere in the future and undergraduates were inferior to dogs. In this era, people who can graduate from high school are already considered young talents. The newly built factories suddenly need so many workers with a certain cultural foundation.
, this made the people in the industrial zone very worried. Finally, the leaders of the industrial zone, who had no idea what to do, handed over the problem to Zhang Zhizhong. And Zhang Zhizhong found Su Rui.
When Su Rui received this question, he was worried at first. Finally, he shook his head and remembered that he seemed to have opened some adult training crash courses in various places. Maybe these people could solve the current problems in the industrial area.
As a matter of urgency, he and Zhang Zhizhong took this school trip together.
More than ten minutes passed, and all the students in the Adult Crash Course arrived. Teacher Xue quietly counted the number of people and confirmed that everyone was present, and then nodded to Su Rui and Zhang Zhizhong.
Su Rui also nodded lightly, slowly walked up to the podium, and was about to speak to these young students... (To be continued...)
