Chapter 92: Who said this man is a blockhead?
"Night school?" Xu Yancheng chewed on this unfamiliar word, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes.
But he habitually suppressed his thoughts and nodded his chin towards Ruan Anan's bowl of noodles, "Eat first, the noodles are clumping."
Ruan Anan quickly lowered her head, blew a few breaths into the bowl, picked up some noodles and took a big sip.
The soup is clear and the delicious flavor goes straight into the throat. The noodles are smooth and chewy, and are coated with the aroma of lard.
"It's so delicious! Xu Yancheng, you're such a great cook! It tastes just like the Yangchun noodles the chef at the corner of the alley used to make when I was a kid!"
Xu Yancheng's fingers gripping the edge of the notebook tightened slightly, and his long eyelashes drooped.
She...remembered something?
He was about to ask tentatively, but Ruan Anan had already swallowed the noodles in her mouth and continued the topic she had just unfinished.
"Night school, as the name suggests, is a school that opens at night!"
"But this matter requires more than just Principal Zhu and I agreeing. You and Qi Shou have to brainwash them."
She paused, her tone slightly smug, "I've already thought of a location. I'll put it at school!"
When Xu Yancheng first heard this proposal, he thought of the military district.
After all, people like Xiao Li and Wu Wei all live in the military area, which makes it convenient to enter and exit and easier to manage.
It is obviously more suitable in the military area.
"Yes! At school."
Ruan Anan seemed to have anticipated his reaction.
Like a magic trick, she pulled out her small notebook from her pocket and winked playfully at Xu Yancheng.
"Since we're going to do it, we have to do it well, on a large scale, and comprehensively. I remember you told me that because there are so few children attending school, the newly built second-floor classrooms on the south side have always been empty."
"Why don't we just turn that building into a night school?"
"The children at Nansha Primary School usually finish school at three o'clock, but night school can start at six o'clock."
"In addition to the most basic Chinese and mathematics, we can also offer some courses related to the college entrance examination."
"History, geography, physics, chemistry, and other subjects related to the college entrance examination must also be arranged!"
"College entrance exam?" Xu Yancheng's hand holding the pen suddenly paused, shock and admiration welling up in his eyes.
"Compared to you, my vision is still small. I only care about helping these guys on the team get rid of illiteracy, but you see the future of the entire island."
"How can I blame you for this!" Ruan Anan waved her hands and lowered her head to write and draw quickly on her little notebook.
"Different positions naturally lead to different perspectives. It's great that you're thinking about helping them learn about culture."
As for the college entrance examination? She dared to mention it because she knew the wheel of history was about to roll over it.
The first college entrance examination will resume soon, and the test questions in previous years are not difficult.
As long as you are willing to learn, there are opportunities!
But she can only keep this secret in her heart.
Xu Yancheng thought carefully and expressed his inner concerns, "But, wouldn't it be easy for someone to catch me if I opened a night school at this time?"
"After the Lunar New Year and the rainy season, various government agencies will also move into the Nansha Islands."
"By then, even if we are a military region, if they want to take power away, we will not end up well if we confront them head-on."
Ruan Anan's expression also grew serious, and she nodded vigorously, "You're right. I've only taken off the hat of a capitalist lady for a few days. I can't let anyone put it back on again."
She took a deep breath, a cunning gleam in her eyes, and pushed the small notebook in her hand over.
"So, we need to change our skin! How about this?"
Xu Yancheng took the notebook in confusion, only to see the writing on it in a flamboyant style.
Chinese = Literacy and Reading Class
Mathematics = Practical Accounting Classroom
Politics = Keeping up with the times and not falling behind
Geography = common sense of disaster prevention and risk avoidance
History = Listen to stories to understand the rise and fall of things
Physics = Guide to Safe Use of Electricity
Chemistry = Science breaks old superstitions
Looking at these bizarre explanations, Xu Yancheng was really surprised and delighted, "You mean..."
"My meaning is very simple." Ruan Anan stood up, with his hands behind his back, looking like an old gentleman.
"There are many university teachers in the cattle sheds at Fuqiang Farm."
"They are all old scholars and don't need textbooks at all."
“Why not just let them have free rein and turn the subject into a general knowledge training course?”
"Look, people need to be able to read and write, right? They need to be able to do accounting, right? Electricity will become more and more common in the future, so everyone needs to know how to use it safely, right?"
"There's a typhoon in Nansha Island today and a tsunami tomorrow. Everyone needs to know why this is happening, right?"
"Also, it's necessary to break down feudal superstitions. For example, why are there will-o'-the-wisp fires in mass graves?"
"To make everything unreasonable reasonable is the true meaning of adult night school."
"Besides, the kids study during the day, and the parents study at night. With each of them keeping an eye on the other, who would dare to slack off? Perfect!"
Teachers, location, and courses, all ready!
The only thing that made her a little depressed was English.
This thing really can't be forced into the basket of common sense.
No matter how good she was at deceiving others, she couldn't find a suitable excuse.
Xu Yancheng's eyes followed her all the time, and when she was beaming with joy, the smile in his eyes could not be hidden;
As she frowned in thought, the corners of his mouth tightened subconsciously.
She was right, whether she was Mrs. Xu or not.
First of all, she is the glowing Ruan Anan.
The Ruan Anan in front of me is full of energy and talks freely.
Xu Yancheng spread out his hand-drawn map on the dining table. "Isn't the reason you want to open a night school just for mutual encouragement? Your real target... is the fishermen on Nansha Island? Do you want to break through with them?"
"Hmmmm!" Ruan Anan wiggled her fingers. "To be precise, it's a male fisherman."
"A male fisherman?" Xu Yancheng folded his arms and looked at Ruan Anan curiously. "Tell me, what exactly do you want to do with this move?"
Ruan Anan shook her head mysteriously and lowered her voice, "I've been wandering around aimlessly these past few days, but my ears and eyes have been busy. Here, everyone thinks studying is useless. Regardless of whether they're boys or girls, no one goes to school!"
Her eyes sharpened. "In a place where men have the final say, if the man in charge doesn't nod and make way, it's as difficult as climbing to heaven for a woman to leave!"
"Instead of begging them to pay more attention to girls and education..."
Ruan Anan's lips curled up into a wicked smile. "Why not let them fall on their own? They won't get hurt. That's just watching the fun. Only when they really get hurt, it's a lesson!"
Xu Yancheng raised his hand and scratched Ruan Anan's nose. "Looking at your posture, you must have been holding back some bad intentions. Tell me, how do you need my cooperation?"
Ruan Anan immediately jumped on the bandwagon, blinking at him, "Captain Xu, you're wise! I guarantee this will benefit both the country and the people, but the process might require you to put up with a bit of a fight."
Xu Yancheng shook his head, but his eyes were filled with a doting smile: "As long as your plan can be successfully realized, let alone just a little injustice, even taking my life is not a bad thing."
As he spoke, he stood up with quick and decisive movements.
Ruan Anan: ...
Who said this man is a blockhead?
Don’t be too good!
Ruan Anan's ears blushed, and she quickly put the things into Xu Yancheng's bag.
"Without further delay, let's go to Principal Zhu's house! This must be done before the government moves in."
"If they arrive and both sides try to control education at the same time, it will be a complete mess. It's better for us to build a solid foundation first and run a thriving curriculum. Then, when the time comes, we can smoothly transfer management power to them and save everyone the trouble."
"Of course, the premise is that Chief Qi... doesn't mind having his achievements stolen!"
