"Then can our children also work as teachers?" the auntie asked, still unconvinced.
Therefore, some people are indeed very short-sighted.
Gu Yunyang walked over and sneered, "Your kids can do that? Come on, tell me, have your kids even finished junior high school?"
The Hongqi Brigade didn't have much farmland, and their fruit couldn't be sold, so their work points were worthless each year.
Families in the Hongqi Brigade didn't have much money either.
Therefore, most families are reluctant to send their children to school.
Even in the primary school in the brigade, the number of students was small, and many people who were of school age were running and playing on the ridges of the fields, catching birds on the mountain, and catching fish in the river.
When Gu Yunyang first arrived, didn't the children of the whole village go into the water to catch fish?
Didn't Grandma Hong's grandson, Er Gouzi, drown?
If Gu Yunyang hadn't rescued the child in time, the child would probably be gone.
The aunt argued, "But primary school is just about learning a few words, right? Our children all went to primary school and they all know those words."
"Yeah?"
Gu Yunyang turned around and, amidst the group's puzzled expressions, walked into the brigade headquarters. A short while later, he emerged with a stack of books: "Come on, call your children here and have them read aloud in front of everyone. I want to see if your children can recognize all the characters."
He sneered, "Sometimes you really can't spoil these aunties."
If you don't know many words, you'll be short-sighted and only see immediate benefits.
The brigade headquarters has considered everything carefully before deciding what to do.
They were not convinced and started making a scene.
Gu Yunyang looked around, and none of the children dared to meet his gaze.
It's clear that they were just going through the motions while they were in school.
Anyway, the family doesn't have many requirements, and it's impossible for them to go to junior high school.
And that's how they got caught when they tried to read aloud on the spot.
Gu Yunyang smiled sarcastically, yet also felt a pang of sadness.
They don't yet realize that studying is an opportunity to change their destiny.
The best time has not yet come, and even in the future, children in mountain villages will have far fewer opportunities for education than those in cities.
"Aren't you all envious of the more than one hundred yuan I earn every month writing articles?"
Everyone knew the truth, but Gu Yunyang said it out loud, which made him lose face and was even humiliated.
"Isn't that because you refuse to teach?"
There are actually people who have the nerve to say that.
Gu Yunyang said sarcastically, "Listen to yourselves what you're saying."
I used to be too lazy to argue with you all; just look at your own children.
He can't even recognize all the characters, and he doesn't know many idioms.
Even if I dictate something to them, they still find it very difficult to copy it down.
"And you expect them to write articles and earn money from them?"
When reality was thrown so directly in front of them.
All delusions were exposed and thrown to the ground at this moment.
Their ideas are worthless.
Seeing that the time was right, and that Gu Yunyang had played the bad cop, Gu Hanping decided to play the good cop.
"Alright, what do you guys think?"
Secretary Gu is right. How can you teach the next generation of children when you can't even read all the characters?
We established schools so that they could have more education.
Look at Secretary Gu, it's because he reads a lot that he has brought many opportunities to our brigade.
Don't you want the next generation of our Red Flag Brigade to learn from Secretary Gu?
Does this mean our ancestors are destined to stay in the Red Flag Brigade for generations, only able to toil in the fields and catch birds in the mountains?
