Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

And now, mom really doesn’t mind you taking care of them!

After all, you are a child yourself and need adults to worry about you. How can you have the energy and ability to help others?"

"What about them?"

"they?

how to say?

If they want to change the current situation, they can only rely on themselves. Relying on others can only help them temporarily, but not forever."

"That's right, I can't change anything now. Even if I want to, I still have to rely on my parents.

Given our family's situation, it is already difficult to support the education of three siblings, so why would I ask my parents to help with anything?

And the most important thing is that she is not alone, but a group of people.

I think it's not just Huangzhuang Brigade that's doing this. Other brigades are also making the same efforts. As for the commune and even the city, I'm afraid there will be many children like them. It's so difficult to help everyone."

"Yes."

"It's just that, mom, I really can't understand their parents. Education is such a good thing, but they are unwilling to provide their children with education.

No, it’s not that they don’t want to, they just don’t want to provide girls with education.

You say nice things because I'm not the one with the money?

In fact, this is not the case at all. After all, although others may not know how much a student spends, our family knows it very well.

It only costs a few dollars a year to support their children in school, but I just couldn’t believe that they couldn’t even afford to spend a few dollars on something.”

"Since you see it clearly, then don't think too much. If you want to change the status quo, as I said before, as long as you have enough ability, who do you want to help then?

No matter how many people there are, we as parents have no objection.

On the other hand, at this moment, it is more important to take care of yourself first. "

"Yes!

I'm just a child who hasn't grown up yet, why should I worry about these things?

They should be the ones worrying about this, not me.”

"That's right!"

I don’t know whether it’s right or wrong, but I know that kids nowadays are not so easy to fool.

I don’t know much about other people’s children, but I know that my own children have a lot of problems.

Fortunately, they still listen to advice at this age. If they don’t, I really don’t know what to do?

Just talk about what my daughter is worried about. What if she really plans to do something?

It seems that parents are unable to stop it and can only deal with it as it happens. Who can blame us for living in this special period?

If this problem had still existed if we were born a few decades later, we wouldn't have to worry so much about it. It's really not easy to do too much during this special period.

However, to be a girl living in this era, especially a girl from the countryside, how difficult life is can only be understood through personal experience.

But it is not absolutely good or bad. In addition to my family, the Lu family, the team leader's family and the accountant's daughter, there are several families in the team who send their daughters to school.

It's not just because there is only one girl among their families, the most important thing is their ideas.

"Hey! Aren't you just thinking about talking to your daughter about her husband's family when she grows up?

Even though it costs money for my daughter to go to school, compared to having a good husband in the future, what does this little money mean?

It’s just a few dollars a year, it’s not like you spend a lot, right?

By the time my daughter can read, it won’t be too late for her to get married, and the betrothal gift will definitely be more than what is required for an illiterate woman.”

"this?"

“That’s exactly the point.

Besides, I only have one daughter, and it’s not a big deal to support her education. Why can I stop her from studying just because she is a daughter?

Haven’t you heard that everyone is advocating gender equality now?

Now that men and women are equal, there is nothing wrong with supporting your daughter's education, right?"

"Is it nothing?

But you must not forget that studying is not a matter of one or two days, and the money spent is not a penny, and now universities have suspended classes. Even if your daughter is a good student, there is no way for her to go to university, right?

Don't let the child end up digging for food in the fields like us. If we support her to study, she will end up living in the countryside. What's the point of supporting her to study?"

"do what?

You can't understand it at first glance. You can't just study to go to university. Can't you also go to the city to work as a worker, or be a teacher in the team?"

"Yes, I heard that because the team's school needs to be expanded, the team will need more teachers.

Since we need teachers, where can we find them? "

"That's right. There aren't many people in our team who can read and teach the children."

"It's true that there aren't many people, but when your daughter can teach the children to read, it will take at least five years, if not ten years. Can you guarantee that the school in the team will still be short of teachers by then?"

"You haven't thought of this yet?"

"That's fine. At worst, I can be a scorekeeper in the team. It's better than working in the fields. Besides, the scorekeeper's job is worth ten work points a day.

This is considered high among female comrades. When it comes to distributing food and money during the New Year, it is no worse than that of male comrades. "

"That's right. If you think about it carefully, it is true. In this way, even if I can't become a teacher, it will be easy for my daughter to find a husband."

"is not that right?

And if a lesbian can earn as much as a man, don’t you think matchmakers will come to your house?"

"That doesn't matter. I just want my daughter to learn a few words, so she doesn't end up like me, who at her age doesn't know anything except her own name.

When you go out, you have to ask for help even when you want to use the restroom. It’s OK if you’re a lesbian, but if you’re a gay, you have to hold it in, right? "

"Hahaha! Hahaha!"

“You know what, we’ve actually encountered this kind of thing before.

In this case, it doesn’t matter even if she can’t go to the city or become a worker in the future.

As for the substitute teacher in the team, that depends on her own ability.

After all, there are many children in our team who go to school. Even if there are not many girls going to school, there are quite a few boys.

Not to mention that every household has several, at least our team has sent all the boys to school. If the team’s school is really short of teachers, I’m afraid the requirements will not be low. ”

"It doesn't matter whether it's low or not. We won't be able to do anything about it when the time comes. Who can blame us for not even knowing what grade our children can reach?"

"Don't mention this. I really don't know. It seems that it is too early to say this now."

"It's indeed too early, but then again, it's really courageous to send your daughter to school. After all, this amount of money is not a small amount."

"Well, it means just sending her to learn a few words, and the specific grade she can reach depends on her own ability.
