Wenwen looked at the villagers who were talking below without saying a word.
Wenwen waited until they had almost finished speaking before she spoke: "Anyone in the village who can read, please stand up."
After a long while, a few people stood up in groups of three or four. Wenwen looked at the bustling crowd of more than a thousand people below and saw that no more than ten of them could read.
Wenwen pointed at an illiterate uncle and said, "Uncle, if I asked you to go to the provincial capital, would you be afraid?"
The uncle responded intuitively: "I won't go."
"Why?" Wen asked.
"I've never been far away, and I can't read." The uncle answered subconsciously.
Wenwen then asked the literate person, "Have you ever been far away?"
The villager shook his head: "No, I've only been to the town."
"If I ask you to go to the provincial capital, would you dare to go?" Wenwen asked.
"I dare. Although I have never been far away from home, I am afraid. But I can ask people. At least I can read." The villager replied.
“Both of them had never traveled far, but because they could read, they had the courage to try.
It's true that our country is currently undergoing some policy changes, but this will definitely not remain unchanged. In the five thousand years of Chinese history, there has never been a dynasty in which people could not learn to read.
Now it is not about asking all children to take exams to obtain academic titles, but just to let them at least be able to write and calculate, and at least be able to write their own names.
Do you want your child to be blind in the future, or do you want your child to be able to go out and at least recognize the words on the bus stop sign and know which bus to take?
In the future, if there is more food at home, or if there are any crops or specialties, and you want to take some out to sell, at least you will know how to make money.
In fact, the national requirement is that every village has a school, at least so that children can graduate from elementary school. I don’t see any in Lijiawan.”
Li Jianguo said, "There used to be a school in Lijiawan, but later on no one allowed their children to go to school, and over time the school disappeared."
Later, the school with only two rooms collapsed long ago.
"Anyway, it's the same thing. Don't force it. Just study hard when you come. If you don't study and disturb others, then go home. There are three hours every afternoon." Wenwen said and went home.
Ignorant ideas don't form overnight, and they can't be changed by a few words. There's no point in saying more. She just did what she thought she should do.
She was not seeking fame or fortune, but sometimes she felt that the people in Lijiawan were very lovely, and she wanted to do something for them so that they wouldn't have to live so hard.
Yu Baitian saw that she was not very happy: "Girl, you have done very well. Keep your original intention and don't let others influence you."
"Grandpa, I'm fine. In fact, Lijiawan has been doing quite well under the influence of the captain. There are even more foolish places that we can't even imagine."
Feudal ideas still exist in many backward areas, such as abusing daughters-in-law and putting them in pig cages at any time. In some places, there is polygamy, and even worse, there are even cases of sharing wives.
Anyway, it's weird, there's nothing that can't be done as long as you can think of it.
The utility room was used as a classroom, with several long tables and a dozen small benches.
At the other end was a taller table with a large blackboard nailed to the wall. On the table were chalks, a stack of new notebooks, and pencils.
These were all purchased. The blackboard was painted and nailed to the wall by the carpenter when the house was built.
There weren't enough chalk and notebooks in town, so I had to buy them in the county.
the next day
There were more than twenty children who came to learn to read, which was much better than Wenwen expected. She thought there would be only about ten at most.
What she didn't know was that last night, those with foresight forced all the children to come to study, even if they didn't want to. The short-sighted children were not allowed to come even if they wanted to, and were forced to work at home.
Wenwen’s class starts at 1:00 p.m. and ends at 3:00 p.m., with a 20-minute break in between.
Chinese: Xiaowen Zhiqing
Mathematics: Gu Zhiqing
Singing and painting: Su Zhiqing
On the first day, the first class was Chinese class for Xiaowen, an educated youth.
Now we have to call Teacher Xiaowen. Teacher Xiaowen first asked the students to introduce themselves.
Teacher Xiaowen didn't let the students learn to write either. Instead, she told them stories in the first class, interesting and meaningful ones, and then asked the students to share the interesting parts of the stories. The atmosphere was very relaxed and pleasant.
It was only in the last ten minutes that I taught them to write the simplest ones: one, two, three.
Math teacher Gu explained to them why apples fall to the ground instead of floating up into the sky...
Finally, I also taught: 1+1=2 1+2=3
Finally, Teacher Su taught them to sing, and you were even happier. She taught them to sing Little Red Star.
After school, they all went home singing the song Little Red Star.
The children think that going to school like this is really interesting and they like going to school.
When parents get home, they naturally ask their children what words they have learned. They find out that they have only learned one, two, three. It is so simple, they can also do it. They think that they have learned a lot in just a few hours.
The result is this...

That morning, Cancan was clamoring to go up the mountain. Wenwen was so annoyed by the noise that he couldn't concentrate on reading, so he just carried his backpack and took his small medicine hoe and went up the mountain.
"If you can't dig up good herbs, I'll beat you up," Wenwen said angrily.
Cancan squatted on her shoulder and pointed at the mountain: "How come there are no good herbs here?"
"Then why haven't I seen you dig one up?" Wenwen glanced at it sideways.
A man and a monkey went up the mountain while arguing with each other. This time, Wenwen wanted to see if the little monkey could really lead her to find good herbs. All the way, they went wherever Cancan said.
Wenwen looked at the empty basket and said, "Cancan, when there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey is king. Did your monkey brother ask me to accompany you on patrol today?"
Cancan quickly shook his head: "No, no, it's just over two hills away. There are so many medicinal herbs there that your backpack can't even hold them all."
"What, two hills? Do you want me to die? I won't go. I saw a lot of Bupleurum over there and I want to dig some." Wenwen turned around and went in another direction. This monkey brother was not trustworthy and wanted to trick her into feeding the tiger.
Cancan pulled her ears desperately: "There are really a lot of good medicines there, I guarantee your safety." Monkey Brother almost patted his chest to make the promise.
"I'm not going. I won't go up the mountain with you again. It's a waste of time."
"Let's go, let's go, the ginseng is hundreds of years old, and there is also Ganoderma lucidum, and..." Monkey Brother continued to tempt.
"You also know about ginseng that is hundreds of years old?" Wenwen turned around and looked at Cancan.
"I definitely know it. It's not like you who has only been digging it for more than ten years." He always brags about being able to dig ginseng.
"Isn't ginseng good when it's over ten years old? Come on if you can."
A man and a monkey were happily bickering with each other when they heard someone talking not far away.
Wenwen immediately made a gesture to keep quiet.
Wenwen slowly and stealthily approached the direction where the voice was coming from.
I only saw two people...
