After the Qixi Lantern Festival, spring plowing began. After more than a month of hard work, there was not much work to do in the fields.
Ten-year-old Feng Zilu was already in the first grade of elementary school, and he would start the second grade in the second half. Old Feng followed Qiao Jiuru's advice and did not let his grandson skip a grade. Instead, he taught him at home, but Feng Zilu had already finished the textbooks for the second grade.
Starting from the first level, the texts are completely different from the previous ones. They are suddenly much more profound and a watershed from the previous level.
Many children in the production team saw their scores drop significantly after they graduated from high school.
Old Feng was deeply inspired when he learned that Qiao Jiuru never stopped letting his daughter study and had been giving her exercises. He also gave his grandson test papers every week.
Lao Feng soon realized the effect of doing more exercises. Not only did he realize it, but Zilu also felt that doing more exercises not only made it easier to forget, but also strengthened the consolidation of knowledge and learned to solve various similar knowledge.
Therefore, even though Feng Zilu only paid the registration fee and received textbooks, he finally attracted the attention of the team leader Bai Lianshan after he always ranked first in the grade and class in the midterm and final exams.
"Old Feng, my child's grades are not good. Does your grandson have any study tips?!"
Bai Lianshan went straight to Lao Feng and got straight to the point without any formalities.
People like them are very clear about the importance of studying. In the past, they could take the college entrance examination and didn’t have to worry about anything after graduation because the state would directly assign them a job. After getting a job, they became city dwellers and had a stable job for life, so they didn’t have to worry about anything.
"Let your child practice, just do exercises, and they will become proficient if they do more."
When it comes to their children's future, parents always have a common topic. Feng Zilu quickly shared the experience he got from Qiao Jiuru.
"If you want to learn more about this, it's best to go to Old Qiao. She's an expert in this area. Zilu also followed her learning methods and accepted her advice."
Old Feng also told Bai Lianshan about his grandson's current academic progress. Otherwise, Qiao Jiuru would not let his grandson skip a grade. Now his grandson is in the second grade and will go directly to the fifth grade next semester.
Although he didn't know why Lao Qiao didn't let Zilu skip grades, Lao Feng knew she wouldn't harm her grandson. Lao Qiao loved her grandson very much and would always call him over when there was something delicious. He even secretly made a new set of clothes for Zilu before the festival.
"I'm going to talk to Old Joe."
Bai Lianshan felt that it would be easy if someone knew how to study, so he had to quickly go to Qiao Jiuru for help.
That evening after dinner, Bai Lianshan came quietly. However, he did not go to Su's house, but invited Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan to come to Uncle Jiu's house.
Bai Lianshan was not only concerned about his own children, but also about the future of the production team as well.
"Captain, have you ever thought about setting up a primary school in our production team?!"
Qiao Jiuru actually thought that he should set up a school in his own production team so that he wouldn't have to go to the production team in the neighboring mountain village half an hour early every day to go to school.
The current fertility rate is very high. Every couple gives birth to at least one child. Five is considered normal. Those who give birth to seven or eight are mainly in order to have a boy. Therefore, the two production teams actually have quite a few children.
Every day, the sight of children from the Baigou Village production team going to the Dashan Village production team primary school was quite spectacular, in large groups, probably at least a hundred of them?!
What? !
Running your own school?!
I haven't thought about that.
Bai Lianshan and Uncle Jiu looked at each other. They certainly wanted to have a school in their production team, but they were afraid that there were not enough people to run it.
"Uncle Jiu, team leader, if we run a school in our own production team, even if there is only one class for each grade, there will be enough people. We only need five classrooms, and we only need five principals and teachers. If we have our own school, both boys and girls can go to school at home, even those who are older can go."
"We have our own school, and we can even stipulate that children can go to school from the age of six or seven, regardless of gender. Older girls, for example, should go to school even more urgently. What if there's a promising child?! A promising child can sometimes support not only a family but the entire production team."
Qiao Jiuru analyzed seriously with Uncle Jiu and Bai Lianshan that even in a wealthy production team like Baigou Village, the phenomenon of favoring sons over daughters is still common.
Girls either go to school very late, or simply go to school for a few days and then come back to help with housework.
If you don't pay attention to your children's education, you will definitely suffer a great loss in the future.
It would be fine if Captain and Uncle Nine didn't have such thoughts, but if they had even a little bit of that in mind, she would want to convince them both.
Uncle Jiu and Bai Lianshan nodded repeatedly after hearing this. They had scolded and talked to each other before, but it was of little use.
They had given all the advice they needed, but the production team did not let them make all the decisions, and in many cases they had no control over other people's children.
"Let me think about it."
Bai Lianshan was frantically moved, but he had to convince the commune to let him run a school.
As for the classrooms and teachers, the principal doesn't have any big problems either.
"The team leader, principal, and teachers can all be chosen from within our production team. Anyone with a high school diploma and good academic performance can take the exam to become a primary school teacher within the production team. It's not difficult."
"Moreover, after I run my own school, I can organize everyone to study together, educate everyone, review and tutor each other. Those who failed to get into high school before, can't they also get into high school through tutoring and review?! In the long run, if the college entrance examination is restored one day, then going to high school can change their destiny by taking the college entrance examination. In any case, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared."
"To be honest with Uncle Jiu and the captain, Lao Feng should have told you that I have always asked my daughter to study hard. I also give her questions every month just for this day."
Otherwise, Uncle Jiu and Bai Lianshan were her own people, and she was taken care of by them, Qiao Jiuru would not have said these words so carelessly.
Uncle Jiu and Bai Lianshan seemed to be thinking about something. They had heard it all, and they were not stupid.
If you're not smart, just follow the smart ones and you won't go wrong. And, as Qiao Jiuru said, if you're cultured and knowledgeable, you won't go wrong, and it's your own thing.
