I returned to my hometown after winning the koi lottery.

In the evening, the two old men who had gone out early in the morning finally showed up!

It turned out that the usually taciturn grandpa gave grandma a serious romance this time.

With the help of Grandpa Li Fugui, Grandpa went to the city and customized the greatest romance of his life for Grandma.

How big is it? It should be more than 0.2 cubic volume of romance.

A wooden box, about 30 centimeters high, 70 to 80 centimeters wide, and about a meter long. It was pulled back in a large van.

Everyone gathered around to watch, and grandpa was the only one with a rosy face.

When my grandmother was little, her dream was to become a teacher. When she was studying, many girls would not have had this opportunity.

So she has always had this wish: to allow girls to enter school.

The daughter of a wealthy family, her father failed in business due to historical reasons when she was very young and sold the family house.

Later, she married Xiao Taojie's grandfather. At that time, Xiao Taojie's grandfather was still doing well. His family ran a cloth shop. Although they were not rich, they had some assets. Later, due to land reform, in order to protect the dozens of acres of land that he had bought with his hard-earned money,

My grandfather's family sold their property in the city and returned to the countryside. So the Chinese people's feelings towards the land are something that modern people cannot understand.

As expected, my grandfather's father was later labeled a capitalist landlord and was criticized and denounced for many years.

It also made it difficult for my uncles to find jobs, and they couldn't even join the army.

In this way, she, a progressive young woman with education and ideals, gradually became obscured in the small mountain village.

In Sister Xiaotao's memory, her grandmother never mentioned her past.

As someone who understands her better than her, grandpa has always felt very regretful in his heart.

Although she has not suffered too much, but when you think about it, all her dreams in this life have not been realized.

Several people hurriedly carried the big box down, and when they opened it, they saw that it contained the girls' college in the provincial capital where my grandmother had attended during her teenage years.

Although it is not large in area, it is a courtyard house with three entrances.

But all the details are restored very realistically.

My grandfather asked the sculptor to restore it based on his memory. He used to visit this school every week.

Because my childhood sweetheart, my grandma, is in there.

At first, grandma didn’t know what was inside. She only knew that it was a gift from grandpa. She smiled and said, “You old man, you’re in your eighties or nineties, what else do you want from romance?”

As soon as the box was opened, her tears flowed like cheap tap water.

Here is her youth, her ideals, her girlhood, and the romance she looks forward to in the future.

Xiao Tao's mother understood her mother's thoughts. Since she was a child, her mother had always hoped that she could study hard and become a teacher when she grew up. Unfortunately, she didn't like it.

When I was studying, I was not very willing to study hard.

Thinking about it now, when I was very young, my mother always recited some early teaching materials and poems to me, and also taught me some basic sewing and embroidery techniques.

In those years, the elderly did not dare to say it out loud, but in fact, these things were basic courses in girls' schools.

In fact, the social situation at that time.

There were women who studied during the Republic of China period, but the social environment at that time did not allow them to have very good opportunities to receive education.

In the late period of the Republic of China, with the rise of the new thought movement and the gradual development of society, women's opportunities for education gradually increased.

A number of girls' schools and colleges were established to provide a place for women to receive education.

For example, Jinling Women's University enrolled 999 students in 32 years, and these women were all elite talents at the time.

However, some women who were able to read at that time came from relatively favorable family conditions, such as families of intellectuals.

Lin Huiyin, for example, studied at Peihua Girls' Middle School in Peking. However, there were also some women from ordinary families who worked hard to obtain the opportunity to receive education, although their number was relatively small.

Generally speaking, women were able to go to school during the Republic of China period, which was a reflection of social progress. However, due to various factors, the proportion of women who could receive education in the entire female population at that time was still not very high.

In women's colleges before liberation, the curriculum was usually influenced by the social environment and educational philosophy of the time.

Generally speaking, students will study basic subjects such as Chinese and mathematics. Chinese includes poetry, essay writing, and the study of classic literary works. Mathematics covers basic arithmetic, algebra, and geometry.

There will also be home economics courses such as cooking, sewing, and household management to cultivate women's skills in family life.

Foreign languages ​​are also common courses, such as English, Japanese, etc.

In the humanities and social sciences, students may study history, geography, etc. to help them understand the development process and geographical environment at home and abroad.

Some women's colleges also offer art courses, such as painting and music, to enhance students' artistic accomplishment.

In addition, some women's colleges also cover some simple natural science knowledge, such as basic concepts of biology.

But overall, the curriculum of women's colleges before liberation was relatively traditional and limited, focusing on cultivating the knowledge and skills required for women's traditional roles in the family and society.

Before liberation, the jobs available to graduates of women's colleges were relatively limited, mainly jobs with a certain social status.

Some graduates will become teachers, teaching in girls' schools or other schools to spread knowledge.

Some work as nurses or medical assistants, providing care to sick patients.

Some students with good grades will engage in cultural and artistic work, such as literary creation, painting, music performance and other cultural and artistic related work.

Most of them work as tutors or home teachers, specializing in providing educational guidance for children from wealthy families.

Those with connections can find secretarial or typist jobs: working as secretaries or clerks in government agencies, enterprises or social groups.

Most of them went to charities and social service departments: participating in the work of charitable organizations and providing help and services to vulnerable groups.

Due to the restrictions and prejudices on women's careers in society at that time, the range of careers that women could choose was relatively narrow, and they also faced many unfairness and difficulties in their career development.

Thinking of this, Xiao Taojie thought that if she could help more girls achieve their dreams, she would try her best to do something to help them complete their studies and change their destiny.

Whether you are a teacher or an ordinary member of society, learning more knowledge is a kind of experience in life.

Sister Xiaoyu feels particularly deeply about such things. Since she is the only girl in her family, many relatives and friends told her parents that girls will belong to someone else sooner or later, so there is no need to spend too much money on them.

In the six months since her parents' accident, many relatives thought her family was extinct. Some came to ask for money, and some even came to occupy her house, which was even more heartbreaking.

So later she went out to study and lost contact with her relatives in her hometown because she was too sad and couldn't meet them face to face.

She likes Sister Xiaotao's novels because she can empathize with them, and some of her concerns are written in the book.
