After the literacy classes were set up, the village chief encouraged everyone to read.
The people in Xiangyang Brigade are a little different from those in other villages. When they see Fan Xiaofan's abilities, they realize that even though they feel they don't have the same academic talent as Xiaofan, knowing a few more words is still a good thing.
Therefore, they also encourage their own children to study.
Some went obediently, while others, being unruly, spread the idea that anyone who studied was a fool, that the educated youth who had read so many books were still just farming like them, and were even worse off than them; they should have spent their time finding wild fruits and vegetables instead…
It's true that we have to admit that the social environment is like this. Nowadays, food is the most important thing. Even adults can't think about the long-term future, let alone children.
For them, being able to eat their fill is far more meaningful than studying.
But today, Fu Weidong and the mechanical pencils they were showing piqued their interest again. Children are just that simple; their reasons for refusing something are simple, and their reasons for accepting something are also simple.
When these adults learned that the reason they were studying was so that they could collect all twelve zodiac pens like Fu Weidong...
What should I do? My hands feel itchy again...
The broom in the house hasn't been used for days, and it's starting to get restless.
However, they stubbornly held back. In the past, these unruly kids wouldn't go to school, but now that there's a carrot dangling in front of them, it's better than nothing...
Think about themselves, living their whole lives here, never even having the chance to study. Now, those educated youth may not be good at manual labor, but they can learn from them and study. The more they know, the less they'll have to work so hard, toiling in the fields all day long. It would be great if they could get jobs in factories...
So the adults unanimously resisted the urge to grab a broom and instead tricked the children into believing that studying would help them achieve their dreams.
At Fanyunyan, they suddenly noticed an increase in the number of children coming to study these past few days. When they learned that it was due to Fu Weidong's unexpected influence, they were both amused and exasperated.
In the past, no matter how much he explained the benefits of reading, these children would ignore him, thinking it was like a turtle chanting scriptures. But now, with just an interesting pen, these unruly children have suddenly become incredibly well-behaved and willing to read.
However, recalling his sister's sudden words that day, Fan Yunyan blushed. Thinking of that beautiful and gentle girl, he felt a tickle in his heart.
Fan Xiaofan's intention to win over a beautiful young woman to be his sister-in-law wasn't reckless; he wasn't doing it carelessly to ruin the girl's reputation.
She never mentioned it to Lu Zhixi; she had only brought her there to pick up Xiao Tuanzi that day.
This way, it won't bother her.
If we are destined to meet, that's fine; if not, just consider it a relaxing getaway that never happened.
She thought about it carefully. Fan Yunyan was interested in economic research and had a talent for it. Ever since she mentioned it to him last time, Fan Yunyan seemed to have unlocked his full potential. Even though he was now staying in Xiangyang Brigade and only observing a small sample of family economics, he was already able to make meaningful suggestions.
Although he's currently a sent-down youth tied to this place, he can prove he has greater achievements in economics, so transferring him to another position isn't impossible...
S City has a relatively open environment, which is a perfect fit for Fan Yunyan...
Anyway, Fan Yunyan's father has already started grooming Fan Yunlang to be the next generation, and there's nothing wrong with Fan Yunyan going to S City to develop his career. The idea of him marrying into the family isn't out of the question either...
Hmm... it's not quite that bad yet...
