Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Listening to Liu Jingxue talking about studying and the benefits of studying, Aunt Sufen started to do the math.

"Now the tuition fee for a semester is only a few cents, plus notebooks and pens, the total cost of studying for a year is less than one dollar.

Five years of elementary school and two years of junior high school only cost seven dollars.

During the two years of high school, I had to live in the city and live on campus, which was a bit more expensive, but five or six dollars for two years was definitely enough.

By this calculation, the total cost of completing high school is only about twelve or thirteen dollars.”

"But if you get educated and work in the city, that would be a big deal.

Workers in the city have high salaries, and even temporary workers doing hard labor can earn seven or eight yuan a month.

As for high school students, even if they are part-time workers, their monthly salary is at least 15 or 16 yuan.”

There is a reason why Wu Sufen said this.

She often heard her husband complaining that people in the village did not value education, especially girls, and no one was willing to send them to school.

The higher-ups have always asked village cadres to attach importance to education and ensure that all school-age children in the village go to school.

But over the years, no matter how the village cadres did ideological work or how they went door-to-door to mobilize people, the results were minimal.

Now that she has the opportunity to help her husband and persuade these women to send their children to school, she will naturally do her best to help.

After hearing what Aunt Sufen said, Aunt Cuihua was surprised and said, "So if you calculate it this way, the money I spent on high school can be fully earned back with one month's salary."

Aunt Liu said, "The salary of a high school student is more than fifteen, Sufen is still underestimating it.

Since the birth of my niece, my family has been planning to send all the boys and girls in the family to school."

"If you don't calculate it, you won't know. Once you calculate it, sending your children to school is really a good deal."

But there are still people who hold us back, “Are there so many jobs in the city?

Aren’t those educated youth all middle school and high school students, and all went to the countryside?”

Zhang Yingchun said, "Auntie, you don't know this.

In the city, a family with three or four children, or even seven or eight, only has one or two places to go to the countryside.

Besides, your family already lives in the countryside, so it is impossible for your children to go to the countryside.

But if your child goes to school and finds a job in the city, then he or she will have made it big and will have a stable job, and will no longer have to farm."

"Aunt, the policy changes every day. Now the educated youth are going to the countryside, but in two years, it may not be the same.

It takes people to build a country.

Who can better build a country? It must be the knowledgeable people.

Our peasant brothers are all of good origin and are the most orthodox successors of the proletariat. They are definitely the best candidates for building the country.

Even if you want to contribute to the country and reserve talents, you have to send your children to school so that they are prepared.

Otherwise, when they grow up, if the country needs them one day, but they cannot help because they are illiterate, wouldn’t that be a hindrance to the country?” Liu Jingxue urged.

After hearing what Liu Jingxue said, these aunts and aunts somehow developed a sense of mission.

But they were still a little hesitant. “Whether our children can read or not is so important. It will have a major impact on the country.”

"Auntie, it's only been a few years since we founded our country. Just think about how hard it was for us to win.

Isn't American imperialism still strangling us now?

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the Japanese. They killed so many of our compatriots, and the revenge has not yet been avenged.

If we don't quickly educate the next generation, arm them with knowledge, and let them build planes and cannons that are more powerful than those of the United States and Japan, what will we do if they invade us again with atomic bombs?

These airplanes and cannons are not something that ordinary people can build. Only those who have read books and know a lot of physics and chemistry can build them. ", Liu Jingxue gave a heavy punch.

When the aunt and the aunties heard Liu Jingxue mention the Japanese, their eyes suddenly widened like cows.

One lady's eyes turned red, "Damn the Japanese devils, they have ruined my whole family and I am the only one left.

If the guerrillas had not arrived quickly, I would not be alive today."

"Don't talk about you. In our Northeast, every family has been harmed by the Japanese. Many people have died."

"Liu Zhiqing is right. We have not yet avenged him. He has killed so many of us. Surrendering will put an end to all this."

Liu Jingxue said, "They haven't confessed yet.

Moreover, they have not stopped in recent years, constantly sending spies to sabotage our country. Who knows, they may make a comeback one day.

The Japanese are determined to destroy us, so we must not take it lightly."

Aunt Liu waved her hand and said, "If we don't talk about anything else, we have to read this book in order to avenge the Japanese and build more powerful airplanes and cannons."

The other aunts and aunts also clenched their fists and responded.

"That's right, this book must be read, if for no other reason than to avenge the Japanese.

There are so many children in Xia Country. If all of them study, and as long as a small number of them can build airplanes and cannons, it will be worth it."

"No, we can't let the Japanese bully us again.

When I get home, I have to discuss with my husband, my son, and my wife that all the children in the family should be sent to school.

If someone in my family can build airplanes and cannons, and if the Japanese come again, we can kill them with one shot, and that would be revenge for their great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers."

"Yes, I will go back and discuss it with them and send my children to school."

“We also deliver it to our family.

It is better to send them to school and make powerful weapons than to fill the holes of machine guns with human lives and bodies as before."

After everyone separated, Liu Jingxue and Zhang Yingchun walked together.

"Xiaoxue, wait a moment, I'll go with you." Aunt Sufen called Liu Jingxue.

Aunt Sufen said to Liu Jingxue gratefully, "Xiaoxue, you really helped your captain this time."

Liu Jingxue was confused, "Aunt Sufen, what am I doing to help Captain Uncle?"

"Just now you advised them to send their children to school.

You don’t know that there are too few people in our village who send their children to school. Because of this, your team leader was criticized by his superiors for not going to school.

He always goes to people's homes to do their work, but with little success.

The villagers originally believed that studying was expensive and not cost-effective.

Later, when I saw the educated youth being sent to the countryside, and even teachers and intellectuals being criticized and sent down to the countryside, I became even more convinced that studying was useless.

"What you said today has made them think about it. Sending their children to school is actually helping your captain uncle," Aunt Sufen explained.

Liu Jingxue understood.

"Aunt, go back and tell the captain to tell him to persuade people next time, don't use big principles, the villagers won't listen.

They either associate studying with the rewards they will get in the future, or they associate it with seeking revenge against the Japanese.

You also know how badly our Northeast was harmed by the Japanese invaders back then.

As long as it is about taking revenge on the Japanese, everyone will be happy to do it even if it costs money.

Maybe when the children go to school, they will be forced to work hard and strive to build great airplanes and cannons."

Aunt Sufen nodded and said, "You are right. I will tell him about your explanation when I get back."

Zhang Yingchun laughed at the side, "But this will make it hard for those children who go to school.

Parents should not follow them around every day, urging them to study hard.”

Liu Jingxue also laughed, "If you don't endure the hardship of studying, you will endure the hardship of life in the future.

For their future good life, let them suffer more in their studies. "

"If the children knew you were the culprit, they would probably come to trouble you," Zhang Yingchun threatened.

Liu Jingxue raised her fist and said, "Let them come, I'm not afraid of them.

They are the ones who should be afraid.”

After hearing what Liu Jingxue said, Aunt Sufen and Zhang Yingchun both laughed.
