Lu Hui was a little scared of his third brother's wife. He was speechless and looked to his wife for help.
Zhang Xiulan sneered, "Third sister-in-law, that's easy for you to say. Look at what those people in the village who have been to school are doing. Aren't they still honestly working in the team to earn work points? Knowledge changes, how can it change fate?"
"Why do I see things differently from my sister-in-law? It seems like all the village members are farming, but the division of labor is different. What makes the Zhishu (schoolmaster) the Zhishu? What makes the team leader the team leader? If these two rely on their prestige in the village, then what do the team leader, the accountant, the scorekeeper, and even the elementary school teacher selected a while ago rely on? Doesn't my sister-in-law have any idea? Not to mention those who were selected and sent to work in the town because of their higher education."
"That...that doesn't necessarily mean you can become a worker after completing your studies."
Zhang Xiulan obviously thought of something and lost her confidence in speaking.
Seeing that she was persuaded, Jiang Wanwan suddenly changed her attitude.
"Sister-in-law, what you said is wrong. Do you have no confidence in our children? I think Chunsheng and Chunshu are both good at studying. The national situation is getting better and better now. Maybe one day they will have to re-enact the college entrance examination to select talents. If our children are admitted to university, think about it, sister-in-law, the village's college student will come from our Lu family, and it will be your son, Zhang Xiulan. How glorious it will be! When the time comes, who in the village will not praise you for raising children?"
Zhang Xiulan thought about that scene and felt proud. "You have good taste. You know what? Chunsheng is definitely a studious kid. I didn't let him go to school, and I even secretly went to the elementary school to eavesdrop. I even saw him writing in the yard."
Jiang Wanwan cursed in her heart, the child is working so hard, and you are stopping him from going to school, and you still have the nerve to say that here.
Although he cursed in his heart, he continued to compliment her outwardly, "That's right, isn't it because of my good education or something else? What if our child really gets into college? The aunties in the village will praise you lightly. Once he goes to college, he will be able to earn commercial grain, get a job and housing allocated by the state, and get a salary every month. He will be a real city dweller. Does my sister-in-law want to be a farmer all her life? If Chunsheng and Chunshu are successful, I will definitely follow them to the city to enjoy a good life. Otherwise, giving me some pocket money every month is no different from a worker with a pension. Or do you like this kind of life of digging for food in the soil, and when you are old, you will have to help the children raise pigs, feed chickens, take care of the children and cook. If you want pocket money, you have to see if the children have enough money. What if Chunsheng and Chunshu are like my brother and don't have enough money to spend, then my sister-in-law's life will be hard."
Lu Hui, who was named, looked at Jiang Wanwan silently: Just talk, why bring him along?
Zhang Xiulan listened to Jiang Wanwan's words and imagined the future with a smug look on her face. But when she heard the following words, she broke out in a cold sweat and subconsciously retorted, "Don't scare me."
"How could I be trying to scare you? Don't you see what kind of lives so many uneducated men in the village are leading? What's more, times are changing. The village has set up literacy classes to help the older generation who haven't been to school. But I don't know if these literacy classes will still exist in the future. After all, all children go to school now. If there are one or two who can't go to school, the village can't set up a literacy class just for you, right? By then, you might not even be able to find a wife without education..."
Zhang Xiulan shuddered again and quickly stopped him from saying anything else. "Alright, alright, stop talking. My two children are both good at studying. How could I not let them study? It's even more impossible for them to not be able to find wives."
"I believe what my sister-in-law said. Chunsheng and Chunshu are both growing well. If they are well-educated, they will definitely not have trouble finding a wife. We have to pick the best one."
"That's right," Zhang Xiu Lan was even more proud, and she also felt that Jiang Wanwan was pleasing to the eye. "Old Third Family, why don't you come in and have a drink of water?" She also continued to talk about the children's bright future and her future good life.
Jiang Wanwan had no interest in sitting down for tea with her. Seeing that things were almost done, she made a decision directly, "Then it's settled. We'll send Chunsheng and Chunshu to school tomorrow. I heard that elementary school has been open for half a month, so we can't delay their studies. What's the saying? No matter how poor we are, we can't neglect education. No matter how hard we are, we can't let our children suffer. They are the future of our country and the hope of our Lu family."
Zhang Xiu Lan's sense of mission suddenly increased. Now the third generation of the Lu family is Chunsheng and Chunshu. Aren't these two boys the hope of the Lu family?
If she could send these two children to college, she would be the hero of the Lu family, and the ancestral graves of the Lu family would be filled with smoke for her.
"Tomorrow won't work. I'm going to ask Principal Cao about the situation right now. It would be best if we could start the class directly tomorrow. I don't know if the child will be able to catch up after being delayed for half a month."
As Zhang Xiulan spoke, she walked out in a hurry.
When Lu Jie saw the result, he gave Jiang Wanwan a thumbs up.
Jiang Wanwan smiled at the couple, then turned around and saw Lu Hui still looking at him.
"Brother, do you have anything else to say to me?"
Lu Hui shook his head repeatedly, "Very good, very good."
Nothing good was said.
From beginning to end, Chunshu kept looking at Jiang Wanwan with bright eyes. He knew that there was nothing that his aunt could not solve.
He and his elder brother will be able to go to school tomorrow. It feels like a dream.
Chunsheng also came over, called "Third Uncle" and "Third Aunt", pursed his lips, and said, "Third Aunt, I will definitely do my best."
He didn't say anything about striving for success, but Jiang Wanwan knew it. She raised her hand and rubbed his head, "Aunt San believes in you."
There was even more gratitude in Mother Lu's eyes. She was really at a loss today. She wanted to let her child go to school, but as her eldest daughter-in-law said, this was her son, and she, as a grandmother, always had a layer of distance between them.
It's not that she can't use tough measures, but she can't really drive her eldest daughter-in-law back to her parents' home. If she does that, her eldest son will become her enemy. Hasn't she seen that her second son always listens to his daughter-in-law whenever she asks him questions?
It had to be my daughter-in-law, and she was convinced with just a few words.
The conflict ended just like that. Since they were there, Lu Xiao and Jiang Wanwan also went to sit in Lu's mother's room for a while.
Mother Lu asked about the house. In fact, she had learned a lot from her second son. She was just worried that her third son would have opinions because she did not show up for such a big event as building a house.
Lu Xiao answered whatever Lu's mother asked, and occasionally Jiang Wanwan would reply.
Seeing the couple's attitude, Mother Lu knew that they were not suspicious because of her indifference. She felt relieved but also a little disappointed. For some reason, she always felt that her third son was getting further and further away from her.
And the sensible third daughter-in-law doesn't seem as kind as before.
Is it because of the separation of the family?
