Chapter 22 Girls' School

After the two aunts and sisters-in-law finished talking about Xiaozhen, Zhaoquan regained his energy, "I'm going back to Shanghai this time, and I plan to come out and do something. I don't know if you, the chairman, have any business that I can share with you?" Jing Xian curled her lips: " Dad also left a lot of shops for you, what kind of autumn wind do you come to me." Zhaoquan said, "Hey, I didn't take care of those shops very well, but I intend to entrust them to you and leave me some profits every year. Money is fine, but I’m afraid you won’t like it.” Jing Xian smiled, “Yes, you have a bank in your hand, and this business of splitting money for two is probably not something you can do. I have one thing I want to entrust I miss you, I’m afraid you like it.” Zhaoquan was leaning on the sofa, and immediately sat up after hearing this: “Quickly tell me, what’s the matter. I’ll let the shopkeeper come and tell you about those poor moneymakers. "Jingxian asked her: "Do you know that there is a civilian girls' school in Shanghai, which is part-time work-study, where you study for the first half of the day and work for the second half of the day. You know that our factory is all about spinning, reeling, and making clothes. There are a lot of female workers in the factory, so I want to set up a female worker's school like this civilian girls' school. I can let these female workers in the factory study more. If there are so few who can read, maybe they will have a career in the future. You don’t need to work hard in the factory, you can also do some secretarial work. It’s good if the daughters of other workers’ families are willing to come to study. Knowing a few words is better than being blind. In the future, we will recruit workers and give priority to them. Choose from the students in this school. How about you, a eloquent and lively person like you, to take care of this matter?" Zhaoquan stood up from the sofa and patted her shoulders with both hands: "Jingxian, Jingxian, you really Not an ordinary girl who wants to open a school and plans to teach a hundred or so Gu Xiaozhen or Shen Zhaoshi?"

Just as he was talking, Zhaoshi came back from school and asked as soon as he entered the door: "Elder sister, what are you talking behind my back?" Zhaoquan smiled and told him Jingxian's plan, and Zhaoshi looked at his sister-in-law in surprise: "You are so great, I don't even know what to say, I really want to give you a big gift." Jing Xian said with a smile: "Don't talk to me, you grew up, I have never received any gifts, I don't need you now Kneeling and kowtowing, the school is about to open later, it is better for you to be my teacher honestly than anything else. I have had this idea for a long time, but I have never had time to make it. Now that your eldest sister is back, I Only when you have a helper, you should help your eldest sister." Zhaoquan looked at his younger brother proudly: "You understand what I told you when I came back last time. If your sister-in-law is a man, she must be an official. It’s a slaughter. If you want me to say, it’s a good thing that the emperor is gone, otherwise she is nothing more than managing the house and keeping tabs at home, where can such a skill be used?” Jing Xian said from the side: “You brothers and sisters don’t need Sing and sing here, if the school is not doing well, I will show the majesty of being a family member, but you two are the only ones asking!" Zhaoshi nodded, "This is no problem, I can organize all the students in the school to teach, what majors I have everything. Or, simply, big sister, you can leave the cultural teaching to me."

Zhaoquan has a vigorous personality, and he often follows Chen Xiangfan in the officialdom, and knows many scenes and characters.On the opening day of the Women's Industrial School, the Education Department and the Textile Association sent people to cut the ribbon.At Zhaoquan's request, Chen Xiangfan honestly donated a batch of tables and chairs out of his pocket, and sent a company of soldiers to clean them up.Originally, the teachers all recommended Zhaoshi as a representative to speak at the opening ceremony, but Zhaoshi said: "I suggest that a female teacher be invited to speak. Since it is a women's working school, let the students see that studying hard can also be a female teacher in the future. In the end, everyone pushed Zhu Lanxin, an English teacher. This girl was the one Zhaoshi had met on the podium during the May Fourth Movement. Her father was the chairman of the Commercial Savings Bank. There was also a relationship.Lan Xin is now studying in the Foreign Language Department of Fudan University, and she and Zhao Shi have become alumni.Zhaoshi set up a "female worker support club" in the school. Lan Xin saw the notice posted on the campus and was the first to sign up.Zhaoshi recognized her at a glance, now that she is two years older, she is even more slim, and when she smiles slightly, her dimples look even more shy.However, this gentle-looking girl was not stage fright at all standing on the rostrum.Zhaoquan pushed Jingxian from the audience: "This girl is nice, she speaks cleanly, I can't see my little girl lowering her head and humming like a mosquito. Whose family is this girl, do you know her?" Jingxian Smiling, she whispered Lan Xin's family background in Zhaoquan's ear, Zhaoquan got excited, pushed Jingxian and said: "Oh, hurry up and marry back and be the second grandma." Jingxian put her index finger on her mouth A silent gesture.Turning around, he saw Zhaoshi glaring at his elder sister, and seeing his elder sister looking over, he obediently averted his gaze, and sat upright looking at the stage.

The Women's Workers' School is an amateur school, with classes mainly at night and on rest days. The Women's Workers Support Association has set up a compulsory teaching group. Lan Xin is in charge of organizing the students to take turns to teach culture classes. Zhaoshi also teaches Chinese every Monday and Wednesday night, and also brings The three little ones Zhenghai, Huanzhu and Lianzhou all went.He discussed with Jing Xian: "Let these little fellows experience the life of the poor." Zheng Hai has already attended middle school, and every time he went to the Women's Workers' School, he always put on a serious expression as a little teaching assistant, helping his second uncle with the teaching plans and teaching aids , can also help batch homework.Many female workers would not be able to take care of their children if they came to class, so Zhaoquan agreed that they could bring their children to school.Huanzhu and Lianzhou played with the children in the yard every time after finishing their homework, very happy.Children were playing in the yard, and it was inevitable that they would chase each other. A child named Anan fell and had two big holes in the knees of his trousers.The child did not cry when he fell, but became sad when he saw that his pants were torn.Lian Zhou ran to comfort him, "I've fallen too, and it won't hurt in a while, so don't cry." Anan sobbed:

"My mother's new pants broke after only two days of wearing them. If she sees them, she will definitely beat me up." Lianzhou stared, unable to believe it.Every time he fell down, my aunt would hold him in her arms and go over to slap the ground, complaining that the ground knocked him.How can a person who is hurt like this be beaten.Lianzhou thought about it, and pulled Anan behind a big tree, "Take off your pants quickly, let's change them, so your mother won't beat you." Anan blinked, as if there was nothing better than this The best way is to change pants with Lianzhou.

On the car going back, Huanzhu and Zhenghai poked the hole in Lianzhou's trousers one by one, Lianzhou laughed nonchalantly.Sitting in the front row, Zhaoshi turned his head and said, "You're still laughing, Anan must be crying at home right now. I know his mother, and he is the strongest person. He will definitely not let him ask for your pants. He lost them for nothing. I can’t escape the beating after wearing these new pants.” Lian Zhou remembered the confusion in the yard today, “Second Uncle, Anan fell, why did his mother beat him?” Zhaoshi said : "His mother has to do a lot of work to make him a new pair of pants, and wait for him to wear them when he can't fit them. It's good, the new pants are gone after only two days. Some people have a hard time at home, How about educating you from an early age that every porridge and meal should be thought of as hard-won; half a thread, half a thread, and constant memory is difficult. Now you know that your mother didn’t wrong you by making you kneel in the restaurant for not eating carrots when you were young. How many children I can't even eat a bite of fried carrots." Lianzhou bit her lip after listening to the second uncle's words.

Back home, Huanzhu took Lianzhou to the room to change his trousers, and took away the worn trousers himself.Two days later, Huanzhu showed the trousers to Lianzhou. Two white boats were embroidered on the blue trousers to block the hole. Lianzhou clapped his hands and laughed. The two held the trousers in the living room Running and jumping.Jing Xian came home and laughed at the two of them, "What do you look like running around with your pants up!" Lian Zhou ran over, "Mom, quickly find out all the clothes we wore when we were young, and take them to the girls' school tomorrow. For Anan's younger brother, Zhenghai brother's childhood pants, Anan will definitely be able to wear them." Zhao Shi also came out of the study, "Sister-in-law, why don't we start a round of fundraising." Jing Xian shook her head, "The matter of fundraising has to be considered in the long run. The poor also have dignity, especially those who study in women's working schools. They all hope to improve their lives through their own efforts, rather than waiting for others to give them alms. However, to let our children know that life is difficult, my school is still It's really not in vain." After finishing speaking, Jingxian put her arms around Huanzhu and kissed her on the face, "It's a small thing to say, but I think Huanzhu did the best job this time, so I'll return the pants tomorrow. Anan, he must be very happy."
