The 1970s: Military Family Beauty

After lunch, Jiang Furong sent Jiang Guoqing to school to play with his classmates. She did not take a nap but sat at the table to start writing a new plan.

It just so happened that there was a ready-made textbook in the bookcase at home. It was the textbook that Hu Xiuqing used in the night school literacy class. I could refer to it or just read it word for word.

This night school textbook was compiled by the military region itself. It is made of wax paper, neatly cut, and bound with hemp rope. It has an antique feel to it.

When you open the book, the first lesson is the "Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention" that soldiers must strictly abide by.

The textbooks were carefully written, with only one rule or one note printed on each page, leaving a large part of the space blank for taking notes.

Jiang Furong read the entire first lesson and was more and more impressed the more she read.

The discipline and precautions that these soldiers must follow are very applicable to any unit.

In the blank space below were the notes Hu Xiuqing had taken during the lecture. Hu Xiuqing's handwriting was not very good, with most of the notes containing typos and many Chinese pinyin errors. The strange thing was that Jiang Furong actually understood them all.

Turning the pages further, there are quotations, movie lines, excerpts of famous sayings, and talks about scientific farming. There are even two recipes, one for how to make steamed buns and the other for how to grow bean sprouts.

Although the content is simple, you can use it immediately after learning each lesson.

Jiang Furong thought about it, copied down the lesson with the movie lines in the textbook, and then put the textbook back as it was.

She knew this line before, but she didn't expect it to come from here.

This is a line from the movie "Song of Youth": Winter is here, can spring be far behind?

Jiang Furong read it twice and couldn't help laughing. These short ten words felt very inspiring.

She didn't know why she only copied this lesson, but based on her previous experience, she knew that her intuition was right.

Just then, Luo Danfeng arrived and said as soon as she entered the room, "Xiao Jiang, I can't attend this class today."

Before he could finish his words, tears started flowing.

Jiang Furong thought for a moment and asked, "Is it your mother who doesn't agree with you studying?"

That old lady, from head to toe, showed disrespect and rudeness in every cell. It was obvious why she didn't allow Luo Danfeng to study at home.

Luo Danfeng wiped her tears with her hands and choked up, "Well, she said I couldn't even take care of the kids, so it was useless to learn anything."

Jiang Furong took a deep breath. "What about you? Do you want to continue living your previous life, or do you want to learn knowledge and culture?"

Luo Danfeng raised her head abruptly: "I don't want to be ignorant like before anymore. I want to learn knowledge, I want to learn culture, I want to work, I don't want to hold my family Zhiguo back, I..."

By the end, Luo Danfeng was so aggrieved that she was speechless.

Jiang Furong waited for a while before asking, "Do you have a chance to go out every day? If you can't go to your house, then why don't you come to my house? Or we can find a place outside and make an appointment to meet there. I'll teach you a few words."

She was quick-witted and immediately came up with a solution.

Luo Danfeng thought for a moment and said, "I have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy vegetables every day."

"That place is good. When do you usually go there?" Jiang Furong felt that anywhere was fine. Adults didn't necessarily have to sit at their desks and stare at the blackboard or the pointer to learn to read.

Luo Danfeng was embarrassed: "When I go to buy groceries, I also take my child with me. Every day I have to push a stroller and take Xiaotang for a stroll outside."

How to study with children?

Jiang Furong felt that the most important thing was to have a desire to learn, and that the form and method could be adjusted randomly. "Is your mother going with you?"

Luo Danfeng shook her head. "She's not going. She's not in good health and needs to rest. Now that the weather is cold and windy, she hardly goes out. Xiao Jiang, well, it's not that my mother doesn't want me to study. It's that my uncle Zhicheng, Zhiguo's younger brother, is coming over in a couple of days. There are so many people at home, and if I'm busy, I won't be able to study."

Jiang Furong expressed her understanding, saying that it was human nature to defend the evil mother-in-law. If the bad words said behind the back got to the ears of the person involved, Luo Danfeng would be in big trouble.

"With so many people at home, you'll have more to do. If you really want to learn, we can still find a way."

Seeing Luo Danfeng so busy taking care of a child, and also having to take care of several people in the family, big and small, and her mother-in-law is always dissatisfied, it's really difficult.

Luo Danfeng glanced at Jiang Furong, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

Jiang Furong was puzzled: "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Luo Danfeng quickly waved her hands: "No, no, no, it's okay, Xiao Jiang, thank you, I really like you, it would be great if you were my sister, then I wouldn't be afraid of anything, and when I encounter problems I have someone to discuss with and give me advice, how great it would be."

Jiang Furong smiled and said, "Meeting is fate. If you don't mind my young age and want to discuss something with me, feel free to come to me."

If there is something to say, say it. If there is a problem, find a way to solve it. As for sisters, forget it. She has suffered from fake sisters before and has no plans to recognize another sister or sister in this life.

Luo Danfeng nodded repeatedly: "I, how could I dislike you, Xiao Jiang? Although you look quite young, I think you are more efficient and courageous than me. If you don't mind me being stupid, can I come to talk to you more often in the future?"

Jiang Furong smiled and felt annoyed at her own recklessness.

Asking questions and discussing things are very different from chatting.

Never mind, this was the first young woman she had met since coming to this time and space, and she inexplicably wanted to stand up for her.

Maybe they are destined to be friends.

"Okay, then let's meet at the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow morning. Sister Luo, when are you going there?" Jiang Furong agreed readily.

Luo Danfeng wiped away her tears and had something to say about doing housework: "Maybe. Sometimes it's early, sometimes late. If it's early, I'll go buy tofu around six o'clock. Sometimes I'll finish cleaning the house around eight or nine o'clock in the morning and then take Xiaotang there."

Jiang Furong wanted a definite answer: "What about tomorrow morning? I'll wait for you at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative at nine o'clock, okay?"

Luo Danfeng nodded: "Okay, I will be there on time at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

Jiang Furong picked up the lines she had just copied: "I have already started preparing lessons for you. If you don't go, all these will be in vain."

Luo Danfeng quickly took it over: "Winter is here, can spring be far behind? This is from the movie, Lin Daojing said it. Xiao Jiang, is this what you are teaching me?"

Jiang Furong said, "This is from the night school textbook. I plan to supplement your cultural studies based on the text in the textbook. Since you know all these characters, I'll find another school textbook to teach you."
