"Third Aunt, I heard you were looking for me?"

When Wang Yaqin heard that Lin Xue was looking for her, she could hardly believe it. She nervously walked into her third uncle's house and saw Lin Xue hanging out laundry.

"Yaqin's here! Please come inside and have a seat. Let me finish hanging these clothes up before we talk!"

Lin Xue greeted Wang Yaqin and then sped up the process of hanging up the clothes.

"Let me help you!"

Wang Yaqin did not choose to go inside, but instead helped Lin Xue hang up the clothes.

"Okay, can you hang all these clothes up for me? I'll go get you some snacks; I made them this morning!"

"This is perfect opportunity for you to try it and see how it tastes!"

There were only two pieces of clothing left in the basin, so Lin Xue let Wang Yaqin help her.

She then went into the kitchen and brought out the rice cakes that she had prepared beforehand.

"Yaqin, come and try my rice cake, isn't it delicious?"

Lin Xue smiled and pushed the plate towards Wang Yaqin, gesturing for her to try it.

"It really is rice cake! I haven't had rice cake in ages!"

Wang Yaqin didn't stand on ceremony and carefully picked up the smallest piece to try.

"It's delicious! Auntie, you must have added a lot of sugar, right?"

"Soft, sweet, and chewy! I never knew you had this skill, Auntie!"

Wang Yaqin took a bite and praised it generously.

"If you like it, have a few more pieces. I left some in the kitchen. Take them back with you when you go home so your parents and grandparents can have some too!"

Lin Xue also picked out a piece. With the original owner's memories and her own love for cooking, her culinary skills have improved considerably.

"Third Aunt, I heard from Mancang that you wanted to see me. What is it?"

After finishing one piece of rice cake, Wang Yaqin stopped eating and didn't intend to eat any more.

She also has two younger brothers. As the eldest granddaughter of the Wang family, Wang Xueqin has always doted on her younger siblings.

Now that I have this delicious rice cake, I naturally can't bear to enjoy it all by myself. I'm definitely thinking of taking it back for my younger siblings to try as well.

"Well, I studied in a literacy class for a while before. But as you know, those classes aren't running anymore, but I think learning to read is a really interesting thing!"

"That's why I was thinking of having you teach me some things. It won't take up too much of your time. Just come and teach me for half an hour every night!"

"I don't have high aspirations. As long as I can understand announcements and read newspapers when I go out, that's enough for me!"

After much thought, this was the best solution Lin Xue could come up with.

She herself is a college graduate, and it's impossible for her not to use her education, but it's also impossible for her to acquire it out of thin air.

So I came up with this idea: have Wang Yaqin teach her a few words every day, and she'll learn quite a lot over time.

When it's time for the school exams, she can use her connections with the head of the student council to get a primary school graduation certificate first.

Then I'll try to get a junior high school diploma.

Anyway, I'm learning at home, so no one else knows whether I've actually learned anything or not.

That's enough as long as everyone has that impression in their minds.

When the college entrance examination is reinstated, she might have to take it herself.

She remembered that Wang Guoqing had graduated from high school, and she could probably get a junior high school diploma by studying on her own. She figured that persuading Wang Guoqing to study with her and get into university wouldn't be too difficult.

Once the initial steps are taken care of, the subsequent steps will naturally follow.

The original owner had this foundation, so she still had many things to worry about.

Moreover, although Lin Xue lived in the countryside for a period of time when she was a child, in the era she lived in, apart from going to school, what did a little girl like her need to worry about at home?

She had never done any rural work before, and she felt that she had come all this way, and it would be a pity to leave empty-handed.

"Third Aunt, you are the first person I've ever met who has taken the initiative to learn to read and write. All the other women in the village don't want to go to literacy classes when they hear about them!"

"I didn't expect you to be so conscientious. Even though you can't go to the literacy class, you're still thinking about learning at home!"

Wang Yaqin truly hadn't expected Lin Xue to have such thoughts. You see, when the village organized literacy classes for the villagers, her mother and second aunt had made countless excuses and refused to go.

Later, although the village chief forced them all to go, the teacher was lecturing, but no one listened; everyone was busy with their own things.

Some were sewing shoe soles, some were mending clothes, and some were picking vegetables.

It's so noisy and chaotic, how can there be a learning atmosphere?

In other words, when the higher-ups come to inspect, everyone just puts on a show, doing it for the sake of the higher-ups.

As soon as the visiting leaders left, they immediately reverted to their original state.

The teacher giving the lecture didn't dare to say anything, and the brigade leader turned a blind eye.

Not only is it a waste of time, but every now and then, two middle-aged women would get into a fight.

Therefore, Wang Yaqin greatly admired Lin Xue's request to learn writing from her.

"Just tell me if you're willing to pay or not."

"I won't let you pay for nothing. You can come here for dinner every night, consider it my tuition fee!"

"After class, you should do your homework, and I should learn to read. Since we'll be turning on the lights anyway, we can both get what we need!"

Seeing Wang Yaqin's expression, Lin Xue knew that the other party didn't find her troublesome.

She dared not be as unrestrained as the heroines in the novels she used to read, because people in this era had no secrets at all.

If someone suddenly becomes literate and educated, they might get reported.
