Ruan Niannian opened the letter and found the same things inside.
A newspaper sample, a letter, a remittance slip.
There is five dollars on the remittance slip.
Pei Hehui had very good eyesight. He saw at a glance that there was five yuan on the remittance slip. He was a little disappointed. "Teacher Ruan, why is it five yuan? Wasn't it fifty yuan before?"
Hey, this kid doesn’t even think highly of five dollars.
"This is not mine." Ruan Niannian handed the remittance slip to Pei Jianhui, "This is the composition that Pei Jianhui asked me to submit for him. The newspaper has already published it. This five yuan is the manuscript fee."
For a moment, the room was silent.
Only Pei Jianhui looked at the remittance slip again and again. All kinds of thoughts such as grievance, pride and touching surged into his mind, and he felt a sour nose.
It was not until Pei Jianhui lay on the table and sobbed softly that the others came to their senses.
"Wow, this was written by Jianhui, it's amazing!"
"This is great, five dollars! Oh my God! Teacher Ruan, please recite it quickly, quickly!"
"If Jianhui can do it, we can do it too. From today on, I will study hard and never be lazy again!"
Their reactions were so enthusiastic that Pei Jianhui's slight sadness was washed away. He looked up at the others and said, "Well, I also wrote it under the guidance of Teacher Ruan. You can definitely do it too."
With the anticipation of the royalties, they sat upright and listened to Ruan Niannian reading Pei Jianhui's published composition in pure Mandarin.
Unlike Ruan Niannian's story, his composition did not take up a quarter of a page of the newspaper, but was published in a small corner of a section.
But it also has a place.
Ruan Niannian was thinking that if this article was seen by more people, coupled with this address, the commune secretary’s application to establish a school should be much smoother, right?
Even if it's not in their brigade, the next brigade will do, so that many children can afford to go to school.
The saying that knowledge changes destiny is not just talk.
In the following time, Ruan Niannian finished reading the composition and analyzed the writing ideas and the spirit implemented in it to the students.
Seeing that they had no intention of continuing the next course, Ruan Niannian left them some time to think about it on their own, while she went to read the letters sent by the newspaper.
Apart from some official words of encouragement to Pei Jianhui, the rest were written to her.
The newspaper said that her story column was very popular, and many readers wrote to her hoping to read more stories about "Ruanruan and Peipei", believing that they were a kind of spiritual food.
In addition, they were very sad about the fact that there was no school in her area. They would send special reporters here to conduct interviews, spread the word about the children's desire to go to school, and help the children in the mountainous areas realize their dream of going to school.
This is the first step that Ruan Niannian wants to achieve.
In fact, this place is not a particularly mountainous place. Studying here is already so difficult, so it must be even more difficult in those places further inland, right?
She breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel as if a stone was pressing down on her chest, heavy.
Ruan Niannian felt that she was not particularly capable. She just had seen more of the world than other people in her previous life because of Pei Yuanzheng. She would not be so conceited as to take on many things that she could not do.
Just like a sentence she had heard in her previous life: Even though one’s own life is not satisfactory, one just cannot bear to see the suffering in the world.
That's the mood she's in now.
She even thought that if she were very rich now, she would be willing to donate a school directly here.
But those are just ifs. The real her can only do her best to get capable people to pay attention to the current situation here.
I think, after today, not only those children, but even Ruan Niannian, will work harder, strive harder, and live the life they want.
The five children surrounded Pei Jianhui and discussed for an entire afternoon. They had a lot of ideas, but nothing was written down. Ruan Niannian felt that this was also a kind of progress.
No matter what they are doing, their passion for learning is aroused.
After giving the newspaper draft to Pei Jianhui, Ruan Niannian told the other children to go home in groups and not to be left alone.
Pei Guohui has always been like an elder brother. He is also the oldest. Every time he goes home, he will take his younger sisters to send Pei Xiaoxiu home first before they go back to their own home.
Ruan Niannian sat in front of the table, looking at the six small tables and stools that Pei Qingsong had specially made for her. She picked up a pen and wrote a line in her notebook - To the flowers that thirst for knowledge.
When Pei Yuanzheng came back, Ruan Niannian had finished writing a manuscript. She rubbed her wrist, looked at the sky outside which was about to darken and the man in the yard who was brushing the dust off himself, and she felt at peace.
"Wife, have you finished writing?" Pei Yuanzheng keenly noticed that Ruan Niannian was looking at him.
Just then Wu Lanhua came to call her for dinner, and not only called her and Pei Yuanzheng, but also Pei Qingsong and Pei Dasao.
In front of Pei Qingsong, Ruan Niannian gave Sister Pei a commission of 2.30 yuan and said, "Sister-in-law, if you don't go to the store, I will give you some technical shares. This is for today."
"I can't accept this. I came here to help, and I took a lot of buns and steamed buns home to eat. They are all made of white flour. You still gave me so much money. How can I and your brother face it?"
Mrs. Pei quickly refused.
She wasn't just pretending, but she felt that she shouldn't take the money!
I'm just helping to make buns and steamed buns, how come I can get more than two yuan a day?
