Chapter 249: Expulsion
A heavy snowfall whitened Kaoshantun, and the once distant mountains and waters were now covered in silver.
The houses in the village were covered with snow, with bulges of various shapes appearing on them.
The feet stepped on the snow, leaving a series of deep footprints.
When passing by Li Gensheng's house, she happened to see Erhua coming out to pour water. Seeing Yi Chichi alone outside, she shouted, "Yi girl, where are you doing?"
"Looking for Qin Jiu."
Yi Chichi replied in the snow and wind, Erhua raised her hand and pointed at her, "Xiao Jiu is at the secretary's house."
"Okay, thank you Aunt Erhua."
"Go quickly."
Erhua waved at her and went back to the house.
Yi Chichi ran straight to the secretary's house. Before he even entered the door, he heard the children's laughter. Their voices were so loud that the icicles under the eaves fell down and clattered all over the ground.
The secretary was sweeping snow on the roof. When he saw Yi Chichi coming in from the courtyard gate, his eyes lit up and he waved to her repeatedly, "Yi girl, hurry into the house and teach the kids to do their homework."
Yi Chichi,...no way?
She just came to call Qin Jiu home for dinner, how did she end up teaching the kids to do their homework?
Tutoring homework is really not a job that humans can do.
Thinking of the chaotic scene in her original world when she was tutoring her nephews and nieces with their homework, Yi Chichi shuddered, and every cell in her body was filled with resistance.
"Uncle, I can't do that. Let's wait until they return to school and let the teachers educate them."
As they were talking, the branch secretary had already come down the ladder from the roof and walked in front of her. Hearing her voice, he pulled her arm and dragged her into the house. "Young people can't say no. You have to believe in yourself. You can do it!"
A burst of laughter rang out, and then Yu Qingqing and the others, who were sitting on the kang in the room, cracking melon seeds, chatting, doing needlework, or watching Qin Jiu and the others play, all started praising Yi Chichi.
She was so praised that she wanted to climb to the sky, dive into the earth and catch the moon in the sea. The corners of her mouth twitched when she heard it. She felt that if they continued to praise her, she would be expelled from the society.
Glancing at Qin Jiu and the others who were playing Kalaha, she said, "You haven't done your homework yet."
“Yes.”
Chu Yu, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Party Secretary, reached behind her and pulled out a stack of homework, thrusting it into her hands. “Look, the homework these little brats wrote almost pissed us off to death.”
"Mom, you don't even know a few words, how can you be so angry!"
After hearing his mother's slanderous words, the little boy Dun Dun, who was drinking water from the cup, couldn't accept it and started to retort with his mouth wide open with two missing front teeth.
"Say it again if you dare."
Chu Yu picked up the feather duster and looked at him fiercely.
Dun Dun immediately backed down and subconsciously covered his butt with his hands. It seemed that he was often spanked and it had become a conditioned reflex.
"Okay, Mom, I was wrong. I asked Aunt Chi Chi to help me with my homework."
"Follow Aunt Chi Chi and learn well."
Yi Chichi,... No, you two just decided on this matter without asking her opinion? Just as he was about to protest, Aunt Ma and the others also began to urge their children to learn from Yi Chichi.
Yi Chichi sighed, stopped looking at their homework, and then waved to them.
"Come here, I'll ask you a few questions."
In an instant, the little kids who were playing together on the kang slid down, put on their shoes, ran to her, raised their innocent little faces and looked at her with bright eyes.
"Aunt, you ask, and we answer."
Their tone was full of excitement. Yi Chichi looked at their sparkling eyes and felt that these little brats might have treated her questioning session as a game.
At this moment, Qin Jiu pushed himself into her arms, holding her arms with his little hands. Yi Chichi stretched out one hand to hug him, took Dun Dun's homework with one hand and asked, "Who assigned the homework?"
"Teacher Qiu."
I don’t know him, but it doesn’t matter, as long as I know that the homework is assigned by the teacher.
"Since it's assigned by the teacher, why don't you do it well?"
“Yes.”
The little brats were talking loudly, and Yu Qingqing and the others quickly responded, "It's true that they did a good job, but it's all just nonsense."
“I didn’t write it randomly.”
Qin Jiu raised his hands and loudly defended himself, "I'll get beaten if I write nonsense."
Chu Yu sighed, "Dun Dun will get beaten if he writes nonsense, but he will still write nonsense."
"It was too light."
Qin Jiu gave her some advice, "Aunt, next time Dun Dun does his homework carelessly, you can beat his butt so that he won't dare to do it again."
My great grandfather once said that children who don’t know anything have no sense of reverence and should be beaten if they don’t obey.
If the problem cannot be solved by one beating, it means that the beating was too light and the person did not learn the lesson. A few more beatings will help him remember the lesson and he will not make the same mistake again next time.
Dun Dun glared at him in dissatisfaction, "Qin Jiu, are we still good brothers?"
What kind of good brother would be such a traitor and even instigate my mother to beat him up? In my dad's words, it's better not to have such a brother!
Qin Jiu smiled and said, "Yes, if I don't treat you as a brother, I won't teach you."
At this point, he said earnestly, "Dun Dun, you have to know that children will not become useful unless they are beaten."
Niuniu clapped her hands and said, "Brother Xiaojiu is right. If you don't beat someone, he won't become a useful person."
Aunt Ma didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I think you deserve to be beaten the most."
"I am good, but my brothers are not."
The implication is that you should beat her brothers and not her.
Seeing that they were about to continue, the branch secretary couldn't help but said, "Stop talking nonsense, quickly correct all the random homework, and delay supervision."
Yi Chichi felt it was credible as there were only a few questions and it could be finished quickly.
But the cruel reality told her that she had thought too perfectly. There were indeed not many questions and they were all very simple, but this was for her.
It was very difficult for Dun Dun and the others who said they were going to school but actually didn't attend many classes.
Yi Chichi couldn't hold it in any longer. He examined their basic level and then asked them what the teacher had taught in class. Then he fell silent.
I really can’t blame Dun Dun and the others for their poor foundation. I can only blame the wrong environment.
What can I say about schools nowadays? It's hard to describe. There are not many serious cultural classes, and they just learn quotations and the like.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, the secretary panicked, "Chi Chi, what's wrong? There's no way to teach you?"
Yi Chichi glanced at him, then glanced at Chu Yu and the others who also looked unhappy, took Qin Jiu out of his arms and put him on the kang, then said seriously, "Uncle, do you want Dun Dun and the others to be able to do math and read, or do you want them to be cultured people?"
“That must be a cultured person.”
They also know basic literacy and arithmetic, having attended literacy classes. However, the units and factories in the county commune require at least a junior high school degree to recruit workers.
Even though the current environment is not good, it cannot cover up the reality that it is easier for educated people to find jobs than farmers like them.
It is the dream of everyone in the village to leave the countryside and move to the city to eat commercial grain.
They have no hope in this generation and can only count on their descendants.
I don’t ask the younger generation to be very successful, as long as I can live a better life than them.
Moreover, he always felt that the environment would not always be like this, and perhaps in a few years the cultural people would usher in a new era.
This is why he is willing to let his children go to school and also persuades people in the village who have children of school age to send their children to school.
