The ancients shocked the old feudal society when they watched modern women raising babies.

"No, I won't let her go to school." When Wang Baoli's mother heard that Teacher Wang was here to encourage her to study, she waved her hands to refuse and almost kicked her out on the spot.

"Mother Baoli..."

"It's useless no matter how much you say, our children won't go to school."

Before Cai Meimei's words of persuasion could be spoken, Baoli's mother immediately interrupted and refused simply.

"Teacher Wang, it's not easy for you to come here. You can stay for lunch and then go back. But our Baoli really can't go back to school."

Baoli's mother left the group alone and went to the kitchen to work alone, while Baoli was in the yard with her three-year-old brother.

[Is it because of her younger brother that Baoli can’t go to school? 】

[I have seen the historical process of China before. They wrote equality between men and women into the law. I didn’t expect that it would take decades to change some people’s minds. 】

[But they are getting better. As long as they have this belief, they will always get better and better from generation to generation. 】

"Baoli, can we have a chat?" An Ran and Cai Meimei came to the Baoli siblings, and while teasing their younger brother, they got close to Baoli.

Baoli guessed the purpose of An Ran and his group, and she apologized as soon as she opened her mouth: "Teachers, I will not go back to school. I made you come all the way. I'm really sorry for letting you down."

An Ran and Cai Meimei looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. They had little experience. It was the first time they encountered this situation and they didn't know where to start. They turned to Teacher Wang for help.

Teacher Wang was not in a hurry to talk to Baoli. She got up and went to the kitchen to help Baoli's mother cook.

Baoli's mother was burning firewood behind the stove. When she saw An Ran and others coming in, she quickly wiped her hands and stood up: "Teachers, the kitchen in our rural area is very messy. Go out and have a rest. Don't mess up your clothes." Dirty."

Although Baoli's mother didn't know the value of the clothes worn by An Ran and the others, An Ran was wearing light-colored clothes. From the first glance, she didn't look like someone who worked often. People living in the village would not dare to wear light-colored clothes. They have to get dirty. They do so much work every day, and their clothes are worn out in just one day.

"It's okay, it's okay, there are so many of us, we have caused you trouble, we should help." An Ran felt embarrassed for the first time because of her clothes.

[Uh...Looking at it this way, Baoli's mother is not unreasonable. She seems quite reasonable. 】

[Yes, she is quite good at dealing with people. She looks much gentler than Zhaodi’s mother. She didn’t even ask Baoli to do the work, she did it all by herself silently. 】

[I don’t understand, why doesn’t she let Baoli go to school? 】

Teacher Wang was adding firewood and looking for every opportunity to chat with Baoli's mother: "How old is brother Baoli?"

"Almost three years old." Baoli's mother replied while picking vegetables. Her eyes were full of tenderness when she mentioned Baoli's siblings.

"It's almost time to go to school. Have you arranged a school for your brother?"

"I just went to school in the village for a few years, and I stopped going to school after I finished junior high school."

There is a village school in this village, where children in the village, from kindergarten to junior high school, receive their education. Because it is a nine-year compulsory education and the school is subsidized, it is only open to the junior high school level.

If you want to study in high school, you have to go over the mountain and go to another village next to the town to study in high school.

[Pfft, Baoli’s mother is treating everyone equally and not paying attention to education. 】

[I thought she favored boys over girls, but she turned out to be indiscriminate and indifferent. 】

"It's not good if the children don't study more. They will need a diploma to find a job in the future."

Taking advantage of Zhaodi's family's experience, Cai Meimei now persuaded people with ease: "Where is the children's father? Does he work in the city? If his father works outside, he knows how important academic qualifications are."

Cai Meimei had a preliminary understanding of the family conditions of Baoli's family. It was estimated that Baoli's father did not have a high degree of education and did not hold an easy and high-paying job in the city.

Those who work hard have the most experience. Just like Cai Meimei's father, every year when he returned to his hometown, he would teach her to study hard. It was very hard to work outside.

"Baoli's father works outside and sees many people. He understands this."

"he died."

Cai Meimei was still talking. Suddenly she heard Baoli's mother's reply, and she didn't react for a moment: "They will indeed work to death. Huh? What?"

Teacher Wang was also shocked: "Baoli's mother, when did this happen? Some time ago, I didn't hear Baoli mention it when she was at school."

"Did you see that mountain? That's where you came from." Baoli's mother pointed to the hazy mountain in the distance.

"Just half a month ago, for Baoli's birthday, his father went to the city and bought a lot of toys for the two siblings. He carried a lot of things on his back."

Baoli's mother started to cry as she spoke. An Ran couldn't bear it and handed her a tissue: "When the child's father arrived in town, it had already started to rain. In order for Baoli to eat the birthday cake he bought, he gave her a tissue. I went back to the village in the rain, but when I got to the mountains it started to rain heavily."

Baoli's mother took a breath before continuing: "The road near the cliff is inherently dangerous. During heavy rain, it was wet and slippery. The father fell down."

"I'm sorry, Mom Baoli." Teacher Wang squirmed, and she didn't know what to say.

"The child's father lost too much blood and walked away. He grabbed a tree trunk and held on for a while. However, it was raining heavily and no one went out or passed by. No one heard him calling for help."

"When we found the baby's father, he was still holding Baoli's birthday cake tightly."

[Oh my god, it’s so tragic. The child is still so young and has no father. 】

[Damn it, what good parents, this world is unfair. 】

"That stretch of road is too dangerous. I don't want Baoli to go there alone as a girl."

"Baoli was brought by his father back then. My younger brother was young and my father had not had time to take him. I was even more worried."

"Teacher Wang, I only have two siblings. I don't care if they study less or earn less money. As long as they can grow up safely, I will be worthy of their father."

[How to persuade this? There is no way to persuade. 】

【This road is difficult to walk. The mountain road is difficult to walk, and the life path of children in poor areas is even more difficult. 】

During this meal, everyone served Baoli and her brother with tacit understanding, but no one said a word.

The mountain road was dangerous, so An Ran and his group had to go back before dark. After dinner, they helped Baoli's mother clean up and were ready to go back.

Baoli's mother and daughter took them to the entrance of the village. On the way, Teacher Wang couldn't help but ask Baoli: "Baoli, do you want to continue reading?"

Baoli shook her head in panic: "Teacher, I don't want to go to school anymore. I'm afraid. As long as I get to that section of the road, I can't help but think of my dad."

Baoli's mother hugged Baoli into her arms: "Every time Baoli goes there, she is not in the right state. I am also worried that she will be in a trance and be in danger."

[Hey, if my father died on my birthday, it was because of me. Who would feel better? 】

[The little girl is doing well at home. She grows up safely, which is not a blessing. 】
