Wind Chaser: Rebirth in the 18th Year of the Republic of China

Wei Ruo saw that Jinzhen really wanted to work, so she agreed to the suggestion, but she did not give up the plan of taking care of the child. "I will rent a bigger house and ask the auntie to come and help take care of the child. Jinzhen will be there during the day, and I will be there at night."

This way, there will be no situation where the confinement nanny is the only one taking care of the child while the parents are not around.

Shen Jinzhen was very happy to hear that Ruolai was willing to compromise and agreed to let her teach. Taking care of children was her job, so naturally she had no objection.

Shen Jinzhen received support in his family, but things were not going well at work.

She dressed neatly and went to her first class, and found that some of the students were about her age. Only about half of them were interested in the class, while the others seemed to be just trying to please their superiors.

Shen Jinzhen originally wanted to teach everyone to recognize pinyin and learn to read, but when he saw that the other half of the female workers were not very interested, he directly wrote a sentence on the blackboard, "Why do we need to read and learn to read?"

She called on several people who wanted to study to answer, and the answers she got were rather superficial, such as "to marry a good man", "to make more money", and "to not be looked down upon by others".

She also asked about the reasons why they didn't want to study, including 'too tiring', 'learning is useless', and 'there's someone in my family who knows how to do it, so I don't need to learn it myself'.

Shen Jinzhen did not give any opinion on these answers, but just told them a fact.

"The answer of a great man was 'study for the rise of China', which is great, but I also know that it is difficult for everyone to achieve.

But the purpose of ordinary people like us to read and write is to survive. In addition to being able to support ourselves, the foundation of survival also requires the ability to read and write and the ability to keep learning. "

Shen Jinzhen realized at a very young age that many things cannot be changed by one person alone.

Even if she tried her best, she could not unify the country by herself, but only with companions and comrades working with her could there be change.

Women’s power is not weak, most of them are just bound by traditional ideas. Only by reading more and breaking free from this bondage can we achieve collective progress.

She also talked a lot about how reading makes life no longer boring. There was no chicken soup or empty talk, just stating the facts.

Seeing that everyone's attention was drawn, Shen Jinzhen smiled slightly and got to the point.

"So in today's class, at the end of the day, I will teach you how to learn pinyin and how to write your own name."

Learning to write your name is the most important thing. In the future, when relatives and friends send you letters, even if you don’t understand the content, you will not make the mistake when you see your name.

She carefully wrote the pinyin on the blackboard with chalk, and after teaching everyone to read it, she asked each student's name in turn, wrote it down, and memorized it silently in her heart.

At the end of the class, she also wrote her name on the blackboard.

"My name is Shen Jinzhen. I am your teacher. I will be with you for a long time. If you have any questions in class, you can ask me after class."

Shen Jinzhen ended the first class by bowing to the applause of the female workers.

When they returned to the temporary rental house, Wei Ruolai was still awake. Seeing her coming back, he helped her take her coat and hang it on the hanger, then asked with concern:

"Jin Zhen, is everything going well?"

Students are not children, they are adults with their own ideas and are difficult to manage.
