Chapter 430 Are You Enough?

Xia Liang's voice was not loud, but the children sitting below were listening attentively.

"Women are a disadvantaged group. Most people grow up, find someone to marry, have children and take care of them, and that's the end of their lives. But what if you study hard and get into college?"

Xia Liang paused for a moment, looking at the children's eager eyes: "You can go to work, and you can earn as much as your husband, so you can stand up straight. You can get married and have children, but your life will be completely different from just having children at home!"

"Many times, we only have one chance!"

"One of my sisters, whom I met when I went to the countryside..."

Xia Liang told the story of Yang Xiaohong, and most of the girls' eyes sparkled.

"You said that my sister's foundation was not as good as yours, but she worked hard and was admitted to university. She even got a bachelor's degree. After graduation, she was directly assigned a job by the higher authorities, and she became an official. Do you want such a life?"

…

This time Xia Liang did not teach them any specific knowledge, but she made them very excited. Every child was as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

"Sister Xia Liang, you are still the best!" Ding Guixiang poured Xia Liang a cup of boiled water. Now they were both in the same office.

When Xia Liang was speaking just now, she was also outside listening.

"Don't mention these kids, I was excited just by what I heard outside. Sister Xia Liang, I will continue to take the exam next year. I believe I can get into college this time!"

Thinking back to her review this year, she didn't study very hard.

"It's great that you think this way. In fact, going to school is not the only way for a person to succeed. But for girls, this should be the most convenient and fastest way!"

Ding Guixiang nodded: "The reason why I was interested in the job of a primary school teacher was because it was easier, I could earn some money to support my family, and it wouldn't interfere with my studies!"

"I've always wanted to go to college, and I thought I worked very hard in the past, but after hearing what you said, I realized that what I did before was not enough!"

"I go to bed early every day and never study too hard. Your sister was able to get into college because of her own efforts!"

Xia Liang nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, I also know that it is because of her own efforts! You don't know that little girl's academic performance was not good before. I heard her say that when she was in high school, she felt that studying was useless and didn't want to go. It was her father who beat her with a broom and forced her to go!"

Ding Guixiang couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. She also remembered that many old people used to beat people with brooms. Some people are really open-minded. No matter what the conditions at home are, they will let their children go to school for a few years.

But there are also some people who are really stubborn and don't let their children go to school even though they have good conditions.

I remember that in the past, when the village was conducting an anti-illiteracy campaign, the principal brought teachers to the families to do ideological work. Some parents would rather let their children go up the hill to collect firewood than let them go to school. I simply couldn't understand this kind of Xia Liang.

"I've been wanting to get to know your sister. She's really amazing! Sister Xia Liang, actually, my family was well off in the past. My parents both supported me in my studies. My grades were pretty good, not outstanding, but above average."

"I still didn't put in enough effort in this college entrance exam. I wish I had known you earlier and studied with you guys!"

Xia Liang had nothing to say about this, mainly because she always came here after finishing her exams.

But back then in Yangliu Village, they all did quite well in the exams.

All the people who played with her passed the exam, but the rest of the female educated youth whispered to each other all day long, saying bad things about this one and that one, and in the end, no one was satisfied.

I took a leave of absence from work and ended up not getting into college. I guess everyone was about to cry!

"It's not too late to start now. Study hard and get good grades next year. Then you won't have to worry about your future!"

Ding Guixiang nodded quickly. That's right. There is no such thing as getting something for nothing in this world. If you want to get something, you must work hard for it.

It's all her fault that she was too lazy in the past. Fortunately, her man is a good man who supports her no matter what she does.

"By the way, sister Xia Liang, will you come back after you go to Beijing?"

Looking at Xia Liang's belly, it is really big now. It shouldn't come back, right? At least not within one or two years.

The round trip is too far, and I can’t bring my young children with me!

"Let's talk about it when the time comes. Who knows?" Xia Liang smiled. She didn't tell anyone that Ning Zhiyuan might return to Beijing.

This kind of thing must not be talked about casually. If someone messes up, it will be troublesome.

"That's right. It will be the same when your husband comes back to see you. But Beijing is not bad. The conditions are good. Besides, your mother-in-law and father-in-law are there. They can also help you take care of the child!"

Xia Liang did not refute. Although Ning Zhiyuan's parents valued the two children, they both had jobs. It was not time for them to retire yet, so Xia Liang really couldn't do it by asking them to take leave to help her take care of the children at home.

I’ll see if I can find a more reliable confinement nanny then. It will definitely be more convenient if she goes to class!

"I'm going back now, Sister Guixiang. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask me. But I'm not a particularly good student, so I can't guarantee that I know everything!"

Xia Liang had finished her classes. When the principal came to see her, he had told her that as long as she finished her classes, she could go home and didn't have to stay here for a day.

Actually this job is quite easy, only about two hours a day, just consider it as a walk or a stroll.

"Then slow down!"

When Xia Liang returned to the yard, he saw several women chatting in the yard.

Some of them were washing clothes, and some were picking vegetables.

It is too boring to stay at home alone, so these women like to get together and chat about gossip when they have nothing to do.

Seeing Xia Liang coming back in a beautiful dress, some people looked envious, while others were extremely jealous.

"Xia Liang, you're back. Are you going to school?"

Mrs. Liu greeted them cheerfully, and Xia Liang smiled: "Yes, I just finished teaching the children, and I have things to do at home, so I just came back in a hurry!"

"Xia Liang, you are so capable. You have to go to class and make clothes at the same time. Can you handle it every day?"

Mrs. Liu did not hide her envy. The key point was that although Xia Liang was busy, she made a lot of money. At the end of the day, she made more money than they could even imagine.
