Zhang Bing didn't think Lin Yu was making things difficult for him; the more difficult the task, the more she thought highly of him.
Since Lin Yu has entrusted him with such a difficult task, he must do his best to complete it.
Seeing his confidence, Li Lanhua was also happy: "I believe you can definitely do it."
Although Accountant Li and his mother were not very optimistic about him, they still supported him.
"If you were to offer a course, I would definitely attend, even if others didn't say so."
Zhang Bing felt a surge of warmth in his heart; Li's parents treated him even better than his own parents.
"Yes, thank you, Mom."
Mother Li shook her head: "No need to thank me, no need to be so polite, we're all family."
They're country folk, they don't talk about thanks.
At first, Li's mother did not think highly of Zhang Bing, believing that all educated youth would eventually leave.
They had once opposed their marriage.
However, he was later persuaded by Li Lanhua and accepted their marriage.
You will see more and more of Zhang Bing's good qualities.
First of all, unlike many rural men who are slovenly, he always keeps himself very clean.
Secondly, he is a scholar, and talking to him will instill a sense of refinement in you; your children will also be able to learn from him as their father.
Also, this person is very polite and will say thank you and sorry.
Although such a person was not a good match for their rural family, Li's mother always felt that she had made a good deal.
After all, if it weren't for the educated youth being sent to the countryside, where would she have found such a good son-in-law?
Li's mother is growing to like Zhang Bing more and more. Even before he started teaching, she had already contacted several of her old friends.
She instructed them to support her son-in-law when the time came.
Zhang Bing was unaware of what his mother-in-law was doing behind the scenes, after hearing about the situation of the literacy classes in previous years.
He kept thinking about how to keep all these people here.
After hearing his question, Lin Yu said, "Then observe them and see what they need."
They certainly won't be interested if you just teach them pinyin from the book.
So Zhang Bing began to carefully observe the elderly people in the brigade.
He discovered that what these people liked most was Lin Yi and Lin Erniu holding that big megaphone and telling them stories.
The two children have grown another year older and are now big kids.
Their cultural understanding has expanded further, starting with reciting simple things from the very beginning.
Even now, we select the most noteworthy news from the newspapers and read it aloud to the elderly.
Sometimes the elderly would ask questions, and they would answer them patiently.
Zhang Bing was shocked. These two children's abilities had exceeded the limits of their age, hadn't they?
At least when he was in his early teens, he didn't have such a strong learning ability.
Moreover, many of the two children's ideas and logic are correct, and there is no nonsense involved.
So after they finished reading the newspaper, Zhang Bing went up to them and asked them a question.
How did you come up with all these ideas?
Erniu replied to him, "Read more newspapers, listen to the radio, and think for yourself. If you don't understand something, ask my sister."
The "sister" she was referring to is Lin Yu.
Lin Yi's answer was: "Just listen to the radio."
Only then did Zhang Bing realize that his family actually had a radio.
Lin Yi proudly told him, "I made the radio myself."
......
After seeing the radio at the Lin family's house, Zhang Bing was utterly amazed.
The Lin family is truly a place where hidden talents abound.
Not only Lin Yu on the surface, but even his two younger siblings are so capable.
Li Lanhua said, "That's because they all went to school."
Many people may say that reading is useless, but that's because they themselves don't have the opportunity to read.
Given the opportunity, everyone would be willing to study it.
Li Lanhua highly values reading. She herself didn't read much when she was young, and her parents didn't value it either.
But she just believed that reading was very useful.
"Look at those two children, aren't they?"
This is probably why Lin Yu organized literacy campaigns.
Only when everyone is literate and can read and understand the text can they develop their own thinking.
Zhang Bing sat at the table, pondering the work of the literacy class.
When Lin Yi and Er Niu were reading the newspaper, the focused expressions on the elderly people's faces touched him.
Then think about what they read in the newspapers; it was mostly news about agriculture.
These issues are closely related to farmers and have attracted their attention.
The questions they asked afterwards were all related to planting and animal husbandry.
Zhang Bing understood their interests.
When it was time for the first class, Li's mother brought along several of her old friends.
This classroom is a space that was partitioned off from the food factory's warehouse.
It was after get off work hours, and all the workers from the food factory were present.
Not only women, but even illiterate men came along.
This was Lin Yu's request, after all, literacy campaigns weren't just for women.
We cannot favor one over the other.
Of course, they probably really wanted Lin Yu to show favoritism to some.
Zhang Bing stood there, looking at everyone's expressions, all of whom seemed somewhat bewildered.
Even though they are all adults, some of whom are quite old, they are almost as good as children when it comes to reading and writing.
They were all beginning to explore the world. Zhang Bing thought he would teach them to understand the world for themselves.
In the first lesson, he didn't teach any pinyin.
First, I introduced myself, then asked each of them their names and taught them how to write them.
Everyone wrote carefully, stroke by stroke.
They had never looked at their names so carefully before; some had two characters, and some had three.
A child's name carries the hopes and expectations of his or her parents.
Of course, some people's names don't necessarily carry very positive connotations.
Zhang Bing asked these people, "Would you like to change your name?"
Most people would refuse, after all, they've had this name for decades and can't change it.
However, a few children who had come with the adults to join in the fun asked Zhang Bing to change their names.
Two sisters, one named Li Daya and the other named Li Erya.
Ever since they learned that Da Niu and Er Niu's names were Lin Wen and Lin Jing, the two of them have been very resentful.
Why do other people have such nice-sounding names? They're just Da Ya and Er Ya.
Unfortunately, my parents weren't very educated and couldn't come up with a name for me.
So, when the two sisters heard from Zhang, a former educated youth, that they could change their names, they quickly asked him to do so.
The children's parents were uneasy, fearing that the educated youth would dislike the two sisters.
The father quickly said, "Zhang Zhiqing, don't pay attention to them, they just love to cause trouble."
Zhang Bing noticed his unease and felt bad for him, so he said, "It's okay. If you don't mind, can I help them choose names?"
"Of course!" The child's father's face lit up with joy.
Cultured people are willing to name their children, so why would he be unhappy?
Zhang Bing looked at the two sisters. The older sister was a little taller than the younger sister, but they looked to be about the same age.
