Chapter 235: New Year in the Countryside
The moment Danniu's wife looked at him, Suningning suddenly felt that it was right for him to come here.
She has gone quite far now, to the provincial capital, graduated from university, and is in the development stage of her career. I should go and take a look when I have time.
Although she and He Qingshan have been doing good deeds together and donated a lot of money to their hometown, but in fact, does this money really benefit the children in the countryside?
These things need to be carefully examined.
Su Ningning seized the opportunity and asked, "Does your daughter go to the school in the village? It's free to go to school there. There are no textbook fees or tuition fees."
It’s free, so kids can always read, right?
Daniu's wife picked at her fingers awkwardly and said, "My eldest and second daughter are old enough to go to school, but even if it's free, our family won't let them go, because...the two children can work at home, they can herd sheep, cut grass, feed pigs and chickens, and learn to wash clothes and cook. If they go to school, wouldn't that be a waste of manpower..."
Su Ningning was so angry that she couldn't even get a word in: "You are so stupid!"
Because she was so angry, her tone was a little high, and Daniu's wife was startled!
But when Su Ningning asked carefully, she found out that many girls in the village did not go to school. Even if it was free, their families would not let them go to school in order to let the boys go to school.
And the books, stationery and other items that she and He Qingshan donated to the village all fell into the boy's hands.
This made Su Ningning unable to sit still. She immediately went to discuss with the village primary school. In the spring of the following year, everyone was encouraged to send their daughters to school! A scholarship was set up specifically for girls. As long as the girls had good grades, they would be given a certain amount of scholarship!
She even called all the villagers together and held a mobilization meeting, telling everyone about the hardships she had experienced in her studies and the results she had achieved step by step.
When everyone heard about the interesting things that happened to her after she entered university, many of them were moved, especially the girls, who clenched their fists and listened very seriously!
When it comes to the emotional part, Su Ningning feels her heart surge: "It's true that we are girls and we are not as strong as boys, but we are just as smart and can do great things! Throughout the ages, how many women have become heroes! Whether they are officials, businessmen, or students, there are women! So, why should we deny ourselves? The Chairman has said that women can hold up half the sky! No matter how old a woman is, she should not look down on herself!"
When the men in the village saw Su Ningning, dressed beautifully and fashionably, standing in the middle of the crowd and speaking generously, they suddenly felt a little ashamed.
They have always believed that men are inferior to women, but when standing in front of a woman like Su Ningning, how can they compare to Su Ningning?
And those women who were originally suppressed by the men suddenly had ideas in their minds.
Maybe they are not as smart and pretty as Su Ningning, but Su Ningning's mother-in-law, mother and sister-in-law can go to the city to make money, so how can they be worse? If they have the opportunity, they can also make money!
If you are not tied down at home, you can go out to work. If you cannot leave home, you can find time to start a small business!
Anyway, the national system reform has been very rapid in the past two years, and now more and more people are doing business!
This year, the people in Sujiatun and Hejiacun were all feeling uneasy.
It’s not just because it’s the New Year and we can eat delicious food, but it also ignites a hope in our hearts, a hope that makes us run forward desperately!
On New Year's Eve, Su Ningning and Zhang Meiqin prepared a large table of food. With the help of Aunt Wang from next door, their country house was kept clean even though they did not live there.
After arriving here, you only need to buy some ingredients and you can start cooking right away.
There was a table full of food. Although the ingredients were not as rich as in the provincial capital, the food in the countryside tasted different from that in the city. They were used to eating it since childhood, so it had a special flavor!
Folks who had a good relationship with the He family even gave him chickens and ducks raised at home. The meat of freshly slaughtered chickens was so delicious!
But when it came time to kill the chicken, Zisong, Zibai and Ziyang all burst into tears, because the three children thought the rooster was so majestic and beautiful that they were reluctant to kill it!
The three children cried their eyes out, and in the end, each of them drank a bowl of delicious chicken soup with tears in their eyes!
