Chen Zhiqiu was very surprised. Shouldn't the little girl be more interested in things like gold and silver jewelry?
Why are you so interested in things like land deeds?
Siheyuan? My father had many houses and factories in Beijing. After private enterprises were banned, he donated all the factories!
The house was rented out as per regulations, with only the courtyard house being the only one they lived in. The title deeds were hidden. Later, the whole family was arrested, and the house, including the courtyard house, must have been confiscated!
"Yes, it is, but it should have been confiscated. According to policy, it should have been rented out by the Housing Authority by now!"
It’s rented out!
If it is a siheyuan, it is more likely to be rented out to multiple people!
Even if it is rehabilitated, it will be difficult to get the house back!
Forget it, I’ll figure it out when the time comes!
"Uncle, are my two cousins in school?" Xu Nanxing suddenly asked.
Because she thought that if people could not enter and leave the farm freely, then her two cousins who were born on the farm would not be able to go to school!
Hearing this, Chen Zhiqiu's eyes darkened. "No, your two cousins have never been to school. It was your grandfather and I who taught them to read and write."
Xu Nanxing suggested, "When school starts, ask the village chief if we can let my cousins go to the town's primary school. I'll get some primary school textbooks to help them build their foundation!"
Chen Zhiqiu's eyes lit up.
Yes, this is not a farm anymore, and the two children have the opportunity to go to school!
After Xu Nanxing left, Chen Zhiqiu couldn't wait to run to discuss it with his father.
Regardless of the current situation of the country, their generation still firmly believes that only reading can change the destiny of an individual and the destiny of the country!
When Xu Nanxing returned home, Xiaotian and Xiaoyu were also having lunch.
When she cooked soup, she also served some soup in the two little ones' bowls and left it for them to drink.
After living together for so long, they have developed feelings for each other, and she also hopes to use the spiritual spring water to improve the physical constitution of her two children!
Seeing Xu Nanxing coming back, Xiaoyu's eyes lit up: "Sister Nanxing, the soup you left for me and my brother is so delicious! Have you had lunch? Come and eat with us!"
Xu Nanxing smiled and said, "I've already eaten. You guys can eat now! Children need to drink more soup to grow taller and more beautiful!"
Hearing this, the two children drank up the soup obediently!
Ye Tian: I have finished drinking. I should be able to grow taller than the pillar next to me!
Ye Yu: After drinking the soup, will I become as beautiful as Sister Nanxing?
After they finished their meal, Xu Nanxing asked Ye Tian: "Xiaotian, do you still have your old textbooks? I know a little kid who has never been to school. I want to ask you to lend him the lower grade textbooks."
There is no bookstore in the town, so if you want to buy textbooks you have to go to the county.
It’s too troublesome. It’s faster to borrow old books from others.
Ye Tian nodded: "Yes, Sister Xu, which grade's textbook do you want to borrow?"
"Um...what grade are you in?"
"I'm going to be in fifth grade soon."
"Then lend me all the textbooks for grades 1-3, and review your fourth-grade textbook at home! Don't forget everything you learned!"
After Ye Tian took out the textbooks for grades 1-3, Xu Nanxing realized that the number of courses in their elementary school was pitifully small.
There are only a few courses: "Chinese", "Arithmetic", "Quotations" and "Nature".
There are so few classes in elementary school! It seems that my two cousins can study on their own without any problems!
However, only the "Quotations" looked like it had been used, while the other books were at least 80% new.
"These books of yours are quite new. Xiaotian, are you not studying seriously in class?"
Ye Tian felt very wronged: "We only have the Quotations class and labor class now, and the other classes are self-study. The labor class means working in the school fields."
This so-called labor class is actually a farming class. Isn't that just like working in the village?
Xu Nanxing was shocked: "Why is this happening? The textbooks have been distributed, but there are no classes? Is there not enough teachers?"
Ye Tian hesitated and said, "No, I heard that many of the senior students in the early years participated in the Red Guards and reported the teachers. Some teachers were even criticized! So the teachers didn't dare to teach any other classes except the Quotations from Confucius."
Xu Nanxing was speechless after hearing this.
No teacher would dare to teach if they were reported by students despite teaching seriously.
Therefore, I could only take courses that would not cause any problems. The two courses, Quotations and Labor, were the ones where I would definitely not make any mistakes.
I’m afraid of being reported by my own students!
In the original owner's memory, classes were easy and there was no homework after class. She thought it was because the college entrance examination had been cancelled, so the teachers taught casually.
I didn't expect there was such a reason.
Indeed! Even many university professors were severely punished, and a large number of intellectuals were sent to farms and cow sheds to undergo labor reform.
This "intellectuals" belong to the ninth of the "nine black categories", also known as the "stinking ninth".
You can imagine how low the social status of teachers and intellectuals is.
And this group of so-called "educated youth"... well, it seems normal that they are not welcomed!
Xu Nanxing asked again: "Did you study these lessons during your self-study class?"
Ye Tian: "...We only learned part of it. The teacher didn't explain it, and didn't test us, so we didn't learn anything."
"Xiaotian, teachers don't dare teach you because they're afraid of getting in trouble. You have to learn this knowledge on your own! For example, you have to learn arithmetic! This course is very useful and you'll always use it in your life."
"Well, I'll listen to Sister Xu! I'll study hard during self-study in the future."
“So good!”
Xu Nanxing borrowed the textbook and when he handed it to his uncle, he also told him about the current situation of the town primary school.
"The teachers at the town's primary school are too afraid to teach students anything. They only teach quotations and labor. So it doesn't matter whether they go to school or not. Let my two cousins learn from you and your grandfather. When I heard that some students were joining the Red Guards to criticize their teachers, I decided it would be better for my cousins not to go to school, to avoid being bullied by such students."
Xu Nanxing felt that since he could not learn anything in school, there might be such "Red Guard" type students among his classmates. If that was the case, he might be bullied at school, so he might as well not go to school.
She can go to the county and buy textbooks and exercise books from elementary school to junior high school, so that her cousins can study at home.
After hearing this, Chen Zhiqiu remained silent for a long time.
He thought that everything would be fine after he left the farm.
Little did I know that the world outside has become so unrecognizable.
