"Comrade Li, it's like this. The county has issued a notice and schools must resume classes," said Captain Hong.

Li Jinfeng nodded. "I understand. Ai Ming will teach when he returns."

Li Jinfeng never mentioned Guo Aiming's occupation to other team members. After all, all schools across the country were closed at that time. However, Li Jinfeng did report it to Captain Hong.

It's also a way of showing respect for him.

Li Jinfeng respects Captain Hong, and Captain Hong is willing to give her convenience. After all, respect is a two-way thing.

"Well, after all, the commune primary school is too far from here. Even adults are tired after a two-hour walk, let alone a group of half-grown children. Several team members have privately asked if we can arrange for someone to teach the children to read and write first. When they are older, we will think of a way to see if the team can arrange for them to go to the commune together."

In fact, Li Jinfeng did a pretty good job.

On weekdays, when I teach everyone to recite quotations and ideas, if I meet younger children, I will also teach them to write the names of characters or some simple words from the quotations, but this alone is not enough.

Especially now that schools have resumed classes, some people feel that it is still necessary to send children to school.

After all, it's always right to follow the country.

"Being willing to learn is a good thing. Our great *** also said, study hard and make progress every day!" Li Jinfeng said.

Moreover, she felt that what Captain Hong was talking about and what she was going to do were actually the same thing.

"It's a good thing, but you also know that in our team... there are only a few people who can read, and the number of people who can teach students is even harder to count on one hand.

I had originally planned to let Comrade Guo give it a try, but she had already left!

So, I discussed with Secretary Hong and Director Zhu and decided to ask you for help.

Don't worry, this is definitely not in vain. Under me, Hong Gang, there's no such thing as free work or no food! When I asked you to teach everyone about the higher-ups' ideas and policies, I set a daily work allowance of ten work points.

If you teach children, you'll get one extra work point for every two children over five, up to a maximum of ten. It's up to you whether you want to add it to Comrade Lu or to your three children.

But teaching the children to read and write is one thing, and the brigade's propaganda and education still need to keep up."

If we really have to compare, learning quotations and ideas is more important than teaching children to read and write.

"Captain Hong, I do have a plan that can solve your current predicament and generate income for the team, but I don't know how much income it can generate." Li Jinfeng said.

"What plan?" Captain Hong became interested.

Secretary Hong and Director Zhu also stared at Li Jinfeng.

"Let's build a primary school in our own brigade. We will not only accept students of school age from our brigade, but also students from the two neighboring brigades. This way, no one will have to go to the commune to attend primary school. After five years of study, the children will receive a regular primary school diploma. When they are older, their parents will arrange for them to go to middle school in the county."

Li Jinfeng's words made Captain Hong so happy that he couldn't contain his joy. His wrinkled, dark face was full of youthful light and he couldn't stop smiling.

"That's great! If our brigade had a primary school, the kids wouldn't have to travel all the way to the commune."
