I called number two and she was a lady. Although her clothes were old, they were very clean and she spoke clearly.
Gu Xi gave her a pass in terms of appearance: "Hello, my name is Gu Xi. I am here to assist the village chief and the village party secretary in the interview. Please introduce yourself."
Sister No. 2 crossed her hands and placed them on her abdomen: "Hello, village director. My name is Lin Xia. I am 36 years old and graduated from elementary school. I have a daughter and a son."
Gu Xi wrote down Lin Xia's personal information on a piece of paper: "You graduated from elementary school, so how old are your daughter and son now? What grade are they in?"
Lin Xia raised her chin proudly when talking about her children: "My daughter is beautiful. She has graduated from primary school and is 18 years old this year. She is looking for a partner now. The matchmakers are knocking on the door.
My son is 13 years old and is in junior high school, but he doesn't like studying. He plans to stop studying and go out to learn from others to see if he can find a job in town. "
The village chief felt a headache again after hearing this: "Why do you need to learn a trade at the age of 13? High school graduates can't even find a job in town. Why are you, a half-grown kid, going to cause trouble?"
Gu Xi put down the pen: "Why don't you let the child continue to study? Don't you think he will regret not studying in the future?"
Lin Xia didn't care: "What's the point of studying? The college entrance examination has been cancelled for so many years. People say that working in a factory as an apprentice is the most useful. Even if my family has to sell everything they have, they will find a way to get my son an apprentice in a factory."
Gu Xi felt helpless in the face of this situation: "Learning is very important. You can tell whether someone has studied by communicating with them.
Even if we take a step back and you become an apprentice, there will always be technical problems in your future work, and you will need to continue your studies and read books to learn, but you don't know how to do it, so how can you succeed? The future will be affected. "
Lin Xia simply walked closer to Gu Xi and started chatting: "No, it's good enough that my family can send him to be an apprentice. My son is smart and good-looking, and the boss will definitely like him. If he doesn't learn well, he can come back to farm. After all, we are all farmers, it's glorious, and we won't starve to death. It's not bad to raise pigs."
Gu Xi didn't know how to refute for a moment, so the secretary smoothed things over: "Okay, we already know Lin Xia's basic situation. We need a junior high school degree or above. You don't meet the requirements, so go back."
When Lin Xia heard this, she quickly took out a handful of nuts and two cigarettes from her inner pocket and handed them to the three people: "There is nothing valuable at home. I asked someone to get them with great difficulty. Don't be disgusted. Help me lower my standards."
The three of them were speechless. The village chief slammed the table in anger and said, "You. You are giving me a favor! I have been in office for so long and have never done such filthy things. Take your things and leave quickly! If you don't leave, I will deduct your Chen Niu's work points."
Lin Xia was so scared that she turned around and was about to leave, but Xu Zhengrong yelled at her again, "Take the things away from me."
Lin Xia put two cigarettes in her inner pocket, grabbed a handful of nuts, stuffed them in her pocket, and ran away.
The three of them were silent for a while, and Gu Xi spoke first: "Uncle Xu, after I came to the village, I found two biggest problems. The first is that almost all children in the village don't go to school. I think every child should at least graduate from junior high school.
A child's character is cultivated from an early age, and many wrong thoughts and habits can be corrected in school.
There is also the issue of favoring boys over girls. It is difficult to change this mindset, but at least we need to change the idea that girls are born to marry and bring benefits to their families. Sons belong to one's own family, while daughters belong to other people's families. Instead of nurturing them, they should be suppressed. This mindset needs to be changed. Marriage is a second life.
The three-foot-thick ice does not form overnight, but ideological education will make them more aware of self-love and self-respect, and not allow women to be objectified.
I think these two points are the top priorities to be addressed after setting up the neighborhood committee. "
Wu Yao also nodded: "This is also a problem I have been worried about. The village construction is getting better and better. If the higher-ups want to come down for inspection in the future, will everyone be able to communicate well?
We all have daughters. It's a pity to see those girls in the village not studying, getting married early, not understanding what family responsibilities are, and having children early. Their lives just pass by like this.
When I was in the army, I went to many places. Girls in big cities are basically educated. Like Gu Xi, she graduated from high school, has something to say, is confident and self-respecting. The school can provide help that her family cannot provide, which I think is what village girls need.
Not only girls, all children need to study so that they can become confident. Studying is very important. "
Next was number three. When she came in, Gu Xi was shocked: "Sister, is your face okay?"
Sister No. 3 waved her hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay. My husband drank too much last night and mistook me for Zhang Qiang from the village. We don't get along, so he hit the wrong person."
Gu Xi saw that her face was severely bruised and half of her face was swollen. "Are you feeling dizzy? You look seriously injured. Does your man often get drunk? Has he ever beaten you before?"
Sister No. 3 touched her face and said, "I looked in the mirror before I came out. It's not serious. I drank too much and my fists are weak. I'm not dizzy. Men do that a lot. My case is nothing. We're not having an interview, are we?"
Xu Zhengrong now felt ashamed. How come none of the three interviewees were normal? "Tao Si likes to drink with people all day long. When he's drunk, he gets crazy. You can tell how many troubles he's caused because of drinking. Last time, he insisted on sleeping at someone else's house.
Two months ago, he insisted that the neighbor wash his feet for him and threatened to beat him if he refused. Fortunately, there was a man in the family, otherwise something serious would have happened.
If you go to the pig farm to cause trouble and even bite the pigs, I'm warning you. Go back and tell him that if you drink and cause trouble again, I'll fine him one month's work points. "
Sister No. 3 quickly stepped forward and held the village chief back: "Uncle, you can't do this. My husband just likes to drink a little. There's nothing wrong with him. If you don't let him drink, he won't have the energy to work in the fields and will cause trouble for me all day long."
Xu Zhengrong quickly dodged her hand: "If I don't cause trouble for you, then I will cause trouble for the neighbors. I won't indulge him. You are his wife, and you have the responsibility to remind him."
"How can I control him? He is the head of the family. I advised him to drink less before, and my mother-in-law harassed me for two days, scolding me every day, but my husband would not listen to me and continued to drink. If he was unhappy, he would not go to bed. Then my mother-in-law would not let me go."
Wu Yao concluded his speech: "You should go back first. You haven't graduated from junior high school. Who are the two behind you? Have you graduated from junior high school?"
Sister No. 3 shook her head: "Akui and Afen, they haven't even graduated from elementary school yet."
Wu Yao put down his pen and said, "Go tell them that they don't need to come for the interview. We all need a junior high school diploma or above. You can go back too."
