Chapter 222: Fighting for One's Sight (1/2)



Director Sun listened to what Jiang Xia said, but did not agree immediately. Instead, he looked at Jiang Xia, shook his head, and spoke with a slightly bitter smile on his face.

"Xiao Xia Zhi, you also know what I just said. It's not that I don't want to run this literacy class. This is a task assigned by the higher-ups. They say they want to develop various educational facilities and eliminate illiteracy. This is a good thing, but everyone is tired after working in the factory all day and doesn't want to come."

"I can't force you to do this. I can only persuade you and talk about the benefits of getting rid of blindness, but it doesn't work."

When Director Sun said this, a look of sadness and helplessness appeared on his face.

"Then just let them see the benefits. Once there are benefits, everyone will come on their own." Jiang Xia spoke and looked at Director Sun.

"No, workers in the factory are not allowed to take private jobs outside. If they do, they might lose their jobs or be reported." Director Sun heard what Jiang Xia said and thought that Jiang Xia was going to introduce some private jobs to the workers in the factory. If this kind of thing got out, it would be a big deal and he might even go to jail.

"Xia Xia didn't mean that. Our newspaper has recently launched a new section that accepts submissions. Anyone who can read can write poems or stories and submit them to our newspaper. If we think they are good, we will publish them and pay you." Wang Yitong said to Director Sun.

"The director of our newspaper talked to the leaders of the factory about this matter, saying that the newspaper and the factory office could work together to complete the literacy class task. Students who successfully completed the literacy class and received a certificate of completion could write a short poem or a short story. One of the graduates would be selected to be published in the newspaper for everyone to see, and the factory would also give a certificate of commendation."

After Wang Yitong said this, she looked at Jiang Xia.

It was Jiang Xia who took the initiative to bring up this matter. Jiang Xia happened to be familiar with both the newspaper director and the factory women's director, Director Sun. With her words in the middle, both parties were willing to do it. After all, this was a task assigned by the country and it was an honor.

She came here on a mission from the newspaper. The director had a good relationship with Jiang Xia, so he turned a blind eye to her. He knew that she was short of money, so this trip was not considered a private job.

"My mother has been in poor health recently and has taken a long sick leave and vacation. She has some free time during this period, and it's boring to be alone at home. She has a good level of literacy, so she can come to the literacy class to act as a teacher and teach everyone to read." After Wang Yitong finished speaking, Jiang Xia looked at Su Yuelan and spoke immediately.

"That's great!" Director Sun's eyes lit up when she heard what Jiang Xia said. As soon as she heard what Jiang Xia and Wang Yitong said, she felt that this matter was promising.

What is this person fighting for in this world? It's just a breath of air.

In every factory, there was fierce competition for the vote in the advanced honors evaluation. This time, not only could I get a certificate, but I might also have something I wrote published in the newspaper.

What a great honor this is.

Nowadays, not many households have televisions, but many people read newspapers. To be able to be featured in a newspaper, even if it is a newspaper from their Jiangcheng area, is an honor. They can cut out that piece of newspaper and hang it on the wall as a symbol of honor.

Moreover, Wang Yitong just said that works selected for publication in newspapers can be compensated.

Isn't this the benefit of being able to see with the eyes?
