Before my cousin came over, the village chief came to inform me that the village committee would organize literacy classes from 2pm to 4pm every day.
The teachers of the literacy class were educated youth from the educated youth camp. Because there were so many people, they were divided into three classes and were given 5 work points every day.
This was a good thing for the educated youth. They usually did not work as well as the villagers and did not get many work points. Although the literacy class only paid 5 work points a day, it was not tiring and the time was short. They could save a lot in one winter.
After the village chief left, the educated youth also discussed it in the kitchen. The new educated youth had just graduated, so they decided to start with the old educated youth and set an example, with three people in a group and one round every day.
The village organizes literacy classes every winter. The educated youth who have been there for a long time, such as Li Mao and Wan Fang, are very experienced and familiar with the teaching progress.
However, the teaching progress is still a bit confusing. After more than half a year, most people have almost forgotten everything. So according to Li Mao, most of the time is basically repeating the content of the previous year, and only a small part is new knowledge.
If there are three classes, one activist class will be set up, and the progress will be faster than the other two classes, but the new educated youth do not need to worry about this class division.
On the first day of class, a quiz will be organized to divide the classes. All they have to do is continue with the teaching progress of the previous day.
There is no technical difficulty, it's basically just literacy and arithmetic.
However, all students must participate in the literacy class, so those who do not have teaching assignments on that day must also attend the class on site.
Therefore, when we discussed the grouping today, we might as well divide the classes as well. Then the students can just follow their own classes to facilitate the teaching connection.
There were 15 people in the educated youth site, divided into 5 groups.
Group 1: Wan Fang, Li Mao, and Liu Li;
The second group includes Xu Meili, Wang Wei, and Lin Zuxin;
Group 3: Yang Lili, Xue Mingxin, and Zhou Ming;
Group 4: Liu Hua, Li Xiao, and Zhan Tianqi;
Group 5: Xu Manman, Zhang Yuan, and Yue Feng;
The upper and lower levels correspond to the classes they are responsible for. Since the students in the activist class are more obedient, they unanimously decided to give girls priority.
In fact, there are some educated youth who have already settled down and started families in the village. Logically, they have closer ties with the village, but the literacy class teachers and the village chief only allow educated youth from the educated youth points to come every year.
The class will start this afternoon. The first group needs to come up with the questions first, and the others will mark the papers together later.
After everything was discussed, no one was in a hurry to leave.
Now that the snow has stopped, the yard and the outside are covered with snow. Xu Manman just tried it, and the snow was almost above her calves.
Li Mao's attention was also on the snow, first of all the snow on the roof. The snow was so heavy that it could have collapsed the roof.
When they were repairing the kang in the house of Xu Manman and the other new educated youth, they also checked the roof. Theoretically, it should be strong, but to be on the safe side, they still had to clear the snow off the roof.
It is inconvenient for girls to climb up and down, so the boys will deal with the upper part first.
Xu Manman thought of the frozen buns outside the back window, so she went into the house and collected the buns before anyone else started moving.
She didn't dare leave the firewood pile. It was empty when she harvested vegetables a few days ago. She hadn't left the house in the past few days. It was hard to explain why such a large pile of firewood suddenly appeared, but she couldn't really treat him as a fool.
After she finished, she didn't rush to work. She had to wait for the snow on the roof to fall off before she started cleaning the yard.
Most of the boys were tall and skillful, and soon the thick snow on the roof began to slide down.
Xu Manman looked at the pile of snow on the ground with a lingering fear. It had only snowed for one day and two nights, but the snow was already so thick. The roof had been in disrepair for a long time and the snow could really collapse.
Strength lies in numbers. In about an hour, all the snow on the roofs of the front and back yards was cleared.
Then everyone started clearing the snow from the yard, with the girls shoveling and the boys carrying it out.
Soon, two intersecting roads were cleared, and everyone built a few snowmen outside the yard with the cleared snow.
Xu Manman was filled with envy, but her body was still wet and she didn't dare to touch anything cold.
When I was clearing the snow just now, I felt like my hands and feet were frozen.
After collecting their tools, everyone went back to their rooms to prepare for lunch. Before leaving, the village chief explained that today was the first day, and the educated youth had to go to the village committee early to help set up the venue, and they had to go there quickly after lunch.
Although they had to hurry up, time was not that tight, so Xu Manman simply cooked it herself. It was rare for her to want to eat something light.
The tomato and egg dumpling soup I made at noon, paired with the pickled kimchi, is a simple meal but also has a unique flavor.
Not long after dinner, someone called out from outside the door.
Xu Manman put on her packed bag, locked the door, and followed him out.
