Lu Jianguo also considered Tuantuan's age. It was indeed not appropriate for him to study alone away from his parents. Not only would he have no one to take care of him, but he would also be easily bullied.
He looked at Li Jinfeng and found that her eyes were filled with hope and confidence. He concluded that she must have made up her mind, so he asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
"Yes!" Li Jinfeng nodded. "I want to build a primary school in the brigade. The nearest school is in the commune. It takes at least four hours to go back and forth a day. It would take less time if we use a bullock cart or a tractor.
It is also for this reason that the children of the brigade and the two nearby brigades are not sent to the commune primary school because they think it is too troublesome.
If we can build a primary school in our brigade, then we can probably take in students from the three nearby brigades. The most important thing is that classes are resuming now, and the policy allows for building a primary school!"
When she first came to Lanzi Brigade, Li Jinfeng thought about building a primary school here. Unfortunately, classes were suspended nationwide at that time, and even if she wanted to do it, the policy did not allow it.
Lu Jianguo thought about it and thought this method was feasible, but he still raised some existing problems -
One is the wishes of the team leader and the village party secretary, whether they are willing to let Li Jinfeng build a primary school in the team.
The second issue is teachers. Building a school requires teachers. In Lanzi Brigade, there have been only one or two students in the past ten years, so naturally there is no way to provide teachers.
The third issue is the source of students. There have been no students studying for so many years, and now a school is suddenly built. Are they willing to let their children go to school?
Li Jinfeng has also considered these three questions.
She can go and persuade the team leader and the branch secretary.
As for teachers, if we calculate the time, the nationwide movement of educated youth going to the countryside will probably be in December this year.
By New Year's Day at the latest, educated youth will come to Lanzi Brigade. At that time, we can select one or two people with good knowledge and good character to serve as teachers. This will be good for both the children and the educated youth.
As for the final issue of students, Li Jinfeng talked about it with several women in the brigade who had good relations with her. Everyone was still willing to let their children go to school, even if they only knew a few words, it was better than being illiterate. However, the commune primary school was too far away from here, and they had no choice.
Except for the second question, Li Jinfeng did not tell Lu Jianguo explicitly, but she had answered the first and third questions.
"As for the teacher issue, I don't think we need to rush right now. Maybe once the school is built, things will improve! If things really don't work out, go to the commune and ask the nearby brigades if there are any middle school graduates who are back in school now but don't want to go back to high school. Have them come teach in elementary school. Not only will they not have to do farm work, they won't have to go hungry either."
At this time, apart from the city dwellers who could receive commercial grain every month, the country people had to rely on their own labor to earn work points and exchange them for food, otherwise they would have to starve.
Li Jinfeng's idea of finding a teacher was also well-founded in Lu Jianguo's opinion, so he didn't ask any more questions.
He said, "I'll go with you to ask the team leader and his team for their opinions, and then we can discuss whether to use the old building of the team as a school or build a new one. Once there are no problems here, I'll find someone to handle the various procedures for setting up the school."
"Okay!" Li Jinfeng smiled. "Why not... let's go now?"
