"Oh? Then go back and draw it for me tonight?" Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows deliberately, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.
"No way!" Su Jinli grumbled, gently breaking free from Jiang Yan's hand, but couldn't help laughing. Their laughter was as clear as silver bells, floating freely in the air, startling the sparrows perched in the trees and sending them fluttering into the sky.
At that moment, the lights in Zhixia Hall came back on. The dim light filtered through the window paper, illuminating the figures of students diligently writing. Under this warm glow, the students immersed themselves in a sea of knowledge, diligently writing their own futures. Meanwhile, Su Jinli and Jiang Yan, hand in hand, strolled toward the market, their figures gradually blending into the golden afterglow of the setting sun.
In this life, Su Jinli finally understood deeply that sweetness isn't found in mountains of gold, silver, and jewelry, nor in illusory wealth and glory. It's found in someone willing to accompany her, slowly carving those days of grievance into sparkling, beautiful memories. With each other's companionship and support, they wrote their own legend together, laying a solid foundation for the bright future of the women's night school.
With the registration and opening of women's night schools in various government offices, Su Jinli's workload grew increasingly busy. Not only did she oversee the construction and development of night schools across the country, she also focused on teaching quality, ensuring that every student truly thrived. Jiang Yan, heartbroken by Su Jinli's increasing workload, took the initiative to shoulder some of the responsibilities to help her alleviate the pressure.
When planning the first branch of the out-of-town girls' night school, Su Jinli and Jiang Yan personally selected sites. They journeyed from bustling towns to tranquil villages, hoping to provide more girls with educational opportunities. In each location, they thoroughly understood the local customs and the girls' educational needs in order to develop a more appropriate teaching plan.
In a remote town, they discovered that most women there were bound by heavy housework and had almost no chance of receiving an education. Su Jinli looked at those women, whose eyes were filled with longing yet also with a hint of inferiority, and secretly made up her mind to open a night school here to change their fate. Jiang Yan held Su Jinli's hand tightly and said firmly, "Jinli, don't worry. Together, we can make sure all the women here can go to the classroom."
To raise funds for the branch school, Su Jinli and Jiang Yan traveled extensively, seeking support from local wealthy merchants, gentry, and knowledgeable individuals. They spoke of the importance of women's education and showcased the achievements of the Beijing Women's Night School, hoping to gain recognition and support. Initially, many were skeptical of women's education, but with Su Jinli and Jiang Yan's patient persuasion, more and more people were moved by their enthusiasm and dedication, and generously donated money.
Su Jinli personally oversaw the construction of the branch school, selecting appropriate teaching materials and meticulously recruiting outstanding teachers. Jiang Yan, in turn, leveraged his connections to secure valuable books and teaching aids. After several months of hard work, the first non-local women's night school branch was finally established.
On the first day of school, the town was bustling with activity. The women, dressed in simple yet neat clothes, entered the night school gates with shyness and anticipation. Su Jinli stood at the school gate, watching them, tears of joy welling in her eyes. Jiang Yan gently embraced her, saying, "Jinli, look, this is all the result of your hard work." Su Jinli leaned into Jiang Yan's arms, feeling his warmth and support, her heart filled with emotion.
With the successful opening of the branch school, more and more women began attending the classroom. They learned literacy, arithmetic, embroidery, and other skills at night school, and were exposed to the vastness and wonder of the outside world. Their thinking gradually changed. No longer content with traditional lifestyles, they began to bravely pursue their dreams.
In the capital, women's night schools also continued to grow and develop. Su Jinli added a richer and more diverse curriculum to meet the diverse needs of students, such as poetry appreciation, painting, and music. These courses not only enriched students' knowledge but also cultivated their artistic cultivation and aesthetic taste.
During a poetry class, a student composed a beautiful poem expressing her longing for freedom and knowledge. Su Jinli was deeply moved when she read it. She realized that women's night school was not just a place to impart knowledge but also a cradle for unleashing women's inner potential and creativity.
Jiang Yan watched Su Jinli's dedication to women's education grow, and his admiration and love for her deepened. He knew that everything Su Jinli did not only changed the fate of countless women, but also made a huge contribution to the progress of society as a whole.
On a moonlit night, Jiang Yan and Su Jinli strolled through the garden of the night school. The moonlight shone on them, as if covering them with a layer of silver gauze. Jiang Yan stopped and looked at Su Jinli affectionately, saying, "Jinli, do you know? You are like a shining star, illuminating the path forward for countless women." Su Jinli smiled slightly and said, "All of this is inseparable from your support. Without you, I can hardly imagine how difficult this journey would have been."
The two embraced and kissed, the moonlight bearing witness to their deep affection. On this beautiful night, they both envisioned a brighter future for the girls' night school, and looked forward to bringing hope and change to more women.
Over time, the influence of the women's night school grew, even reaching neighboring countries. After hearing about the women's night school, envoys from neighboring countries came to visit and learn. Su Jinli and Jiang Yan warmly welcomed them and introduced them to the women's night school's educational philosophy and teaching model.
