Some villagers actually believed it, thinking that their children were too tired working in the fields all day and should learn piano, painting, and ballet like the children in the city...
This evil trend is getting stronger and stronger in the village, and it seems to be spreading like wildfire.
When Shen Qiqi heard this, she almost laughed out loud: "Good fellow, are you trying to train all the children in our village to be lazy young masters and young ladies who don't know how to work? No way!"
Lu Qing's face darkened as well: "These people are really haunting us! Looks like we have to teach them a lesson!"
Shen Qiqi's eyes rolled, and a plan came to mind: "Lu Qing, let's have a 'fight between gods'!"
"A fight between gods?" Lu Qing was a little confused.
"Hehe, it's... the educational philosophy debate!" Shen Qiqi rubbed her hands excitedly, "Let's call all the men in the village, young and old, over, and invite those 'international friends' as well. Let's confront them face to face and have a good talk!"
As soon as the news came out, the whole village was in an uproar.
On the day of the debate, the village committee compound was packed with people.
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing stood on the stage, facing the dark crowd below, full of momentum.
"Dear fellow villagers, let's have a good chat today about what kind of education is best for children!" Shen Qiqi cleared her throat, her voice loud and clear, exploding like a thunder in the crowd.
Pointing to the children in the village, she spoke eloquently: "Look at the children in our village. They are all strong and smart. They can not only read and write, but also farm and do handicrafts. This is the all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor!"
Lu Qing also added: "We respect tradition, but that doesn't mean we reject innovation. We learn advanced Western technology to better develop our own education, not to copy it completely!"
Based on the educational achievements in the village, the two men refuted the wrong ideas of international forces with reason and evidence.
The villagers nodded repeatedly and suddenly understood.
"Qiqi is right! This is how we should raise our children!"
"Those foreigners are just trying to fool us!"
"Support Qiqi! Support Lu Qing!"
The audience applauded loudly and cheered deafeningly.
The representatives of international forces turned pale and were speechless.
After the debate, the villagers gathered around and gave Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing a thumbs up.
"Qiqi, you are so amazing!"
"Lu Qing, you are great too!"
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing smiled at each other, everything was said without words.
As night fell, Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing were walking on their way home. The moonlight shone on them, coating them with a layer of golden light.
"Qiqi," Lu Qing suddenly stopped and looked at her, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable light, "You said..."
"What do you think? Should we celebrate?" Shen Qiqi blinked, looking cunning.
Lu Qing was amused by her and reached out to pinch her nose: "You little money-grubber, you only think about eating delicious food."
"Food is the most important thing for the people!" Shen Qiqi retorted confidently, "Besides, our village's education model has been recognized internationally. This is a huge happy event. Shouldn't we celebrate it properly?"
Of course we should celebrate!
The next day, the village set up a buffet, slaughtered pigs and sheep, and heard the sound of gongs and drums. It was even more lively than the Chinese New Year.
The children were running around in the school wearing their new clothes, with happy smiles on their faces.
Even the usually serious village chief couldn't stop smiling.
After the news spread, many education experts came here to learn about the village's educational experience.
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing transformed into "gold medal tour guides", taking the experts to visit the school, attend classes, and communicate with the villagers.
The experts praised the village’s education model and expressed their desire to go back and learn from it and promote it.
The education level in the village is improving, and the children are more motivated to study.
In Mr. Li's carpentry class, the children made all kinds of exquisite models out of wood; in the Chinese language class of the embroiderer, the children made up touching stories; in the herbal medicine class of the old Chinese medicine doctor, the children learned about various herbs and even used them to make tea and sachets...
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing felt sweeter than eating honey as they watched the children study and grow happily.
They know that everything they do is worth it.
However, just as everyone was immersed in joy, an undercurrent was surging.
International forces have not given up. They are brewing a bigger conspiracy, targeting the village's ecological environment...
One night, Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing were enjoying the cool in the yard. Suddenly, Lu Qing's face changed and he stood up abruptly.
"Qiqi..." His voice was low and solemn, "I seem to smell a..."
Shen Qiqi also sniffed, and a pungent smell of chemicals drifted faintly in the night wind...
