Reborn as the twin sister of the male protagonist with her mortal enemy
Chapter 376: Persuading People to Send Their Children to School
Zheng Juzi...get out!
When enemies come, we will fight them with soldiers; when water comes, we will block it with earth. It doesn't matter if the method is bad, as long as it is useful, isn't it enough?
Every summer vacation, Zheng Juzi is busy making money, and Mu Xiaoyun is also very busy.
Ever since her daughter organized a charity fair in the capital a few years ago, Mu Xiaoyun would go to the surrounding villages every year at this time to persuade parents who had let their children drop out of school to send their children back to school.
We have visited several villages near Dongji Town, and now it is the turn of villages further away.
With the opening of the provincial road, Aotang Village and Pingtang Village have been incorporated into Dongji Town. There are factories in the village that can recruit workers, and the harvest from the pepper fields can be exchanged for money. Now there are no poor households.
Even Luo Guaizi, who was the poorest at that time, found a wife. Although his weak legs made it difficult for him to work in the fields, he could still earn money by doing some manual work in the bamboo factory.
The factory has a minimum educational requirement for recruiting people. In the early days, the Zheng family paid for everyone to attend night school to learn literacy. Now every household takes the initiative to send their children to school.
Not to mention that college is too far away, only a junior high school diploma can find a job in those factories. No one is stupid, how much work can a half-grown child do at home? Studying is the serious thing.
Many people in Zhentang Village followed Mu Dazhuang to cut bamboo and grow peppers. Although it was still hard work, they could make money and their living conditions improved a lot. After Mu Xiaoyun persuaded them several times, most families changed their attitudes.
At the beginning, there were a few families who were so poor that they had to rely on Mu Xiaoyun's financial support for their children's schooling. Now, every family sends their children to school voluntarily without Mu Xiaoyun's financial support.
Nine-year compulsory education has been implemented. The situation is better in villages close to towns, but in remote areas, it is still the norm for children to drop out of school early or not even go to school at all, especially girls.
This should have been the period when the first batch of only children started going to school, and the pressure of doing their best to send one child to school was still bearable for ordinary families.
But if the first one is a girl, the family may have a second, third, or even fourth child.
If you have too many children, either you will be fined or the children will not be registered. Whatever the reason, it is basically the girls in the family who are sacrificed.
The more she saw this, the more she felt that she should send her children to school, especially her daughter.
If you don't study, you will just work at home all your life, and then be sold for a good price to work in your husband's family.
The Marriage Law clearly states that women can only get married at the age of 20, but girls in those places become mothers at the age of or . They can see the end of their lives, and their daughters will continue to live in the next life.
It has been like this for generations without any change, and it is really not easy to change.
Mu Xiaoyun and his companions once again set foot on the dirt road of the small mountain village, their hearts as hot as the sky.
The people here are poor, and there is nothing worth showing off in the village. They work hard every day just to make ends meet. Not to mention that they don’t have money to send their children to school, even if someone offers money, they can’t send their children to school.
When children go to school, the family loses a labor force. As long as the child can walk, he or she can help with the housework, let alone teenagers.
The poorer you are, the more children you have. The more children you have, the poorer you become. The poorer you are, the less willing you are to send your children to receive an education. The less willing you are to send your children to receive an education, the poorer you become.
Generation after generation, it seems, is stuck in this vicious cycle.
If someone else tries to persuade them to send their children to school, they will probably be beaten - I have the final say over my children, what nonsense are you outsiders talking about? !
However, Mu Xiaoyun paid for people to go to the village to train pregnant women, postpartum women and newborns on precautions.
Although they only come here twice a year, they can get free rice and eggs every time. It’s not a lot, but it’s a good thing for a place like theirs. There’s no need to offend them.
Whether it is Mu Xiaoyun or Zheng Juzi, the first principle of sponsoring out-of-school children is the principle of voluntariness. They are just doing good deeds, not being saints.
Generally, if a child’s parents disagree, they will persuade but will not force it.
Logically, you won't come to this restaurant a second time after visiting it once.
By chance, the last time Mu Xiaoyun came to this village, it happened to be raining heavily and the road was slippery, so he fell into a ditch and looked very miserable.
A little girl passing by kindly took her to the pond to wash her hands and held an umbrella for her.
The little girl was about the same age as Duan Yanbo, skinny, and carrying a child on her back who she said was her younger brother.
The girl has never been to school and is illiterate, but she has heard of school and wants to go to school.
Mu Xiaoyun could never forget those eyes after seeing them once.
The girl’s parents have a simple idea. They think that girls will get married in the future and there is no point in studying. Instead of benefiting the future husband’s family, it is better for her to stay at home and work and take care of the children.
The girl's father, a dark-skinned middle-aged man, frowned when Mu Xiaoyun came to his house again and responded: "We all know that you are a good person, but you also know the situation of our family. Girls here just need to get married and have children. What's the point of going to school?"
"That's right. Didn't we all never go to school? Can't we survive if we can't read? I heard that many daughters have become wild because of studying. It's better for them not to study." The girl's mother looked like an ordinary peasant woman. She was a little dissatisfied that Mu Xiaoyun came to her house again but didn't bring anything.
When children go to school and have their own ideas in the future they will not listen to their parents. Wouldn't that be a great loss for the parents?
A girl can be exchanged for 200 yuan in betrothal money.
Mu Xiaoyun, who had already received Zheng Juzi's "true teachings", said, "How is this possible? I heard that girls who can read are highly sought after by other families, and the betrothal gifts are much higher than those for illiterate girls. Did you hear wrongly?"
When the girl's mother heard that the bride price was going to be much higher, her eyes lit up: "Really?"
Mu Xiaoyun said: "Of course it's true. Rich people all hope to have a smart child. What kind of child is smart? It must be a girl who can read."
"I heard that when city dwellers are looking for a wife, if the wife is a college student, the bride price starts at at least 1000 yuan. Have you not heard of this?"
A place where people have been farming all their lives, and where a child can show off a piece of the cheapest fruit candy to a group of people for a whole day. They rarely go to the city, let alone hear news from the city.
"Is there really a 1000 yuan betrothal gift?" the girl's father also asked to verify.
"This is not absolute." Mu Xiaoyun justified her words, "It also depends on the girl's appearance and figure. To be honest, if your daughter is skinny, people will not like her and think it will be difficult for her to have children."
The family was so excited when they heard about the bride price that they might really want to exploit the man’s family in the future. But if they don’t give a “carrot”, they won’t even think about sending their children to school.
The girl's parents were very disappointed - if they couldn't be sure, it might be a losing deal.
