Chapter 249: Literacy (1)
After twelve days of drought fighting, Zhenhua and Gao Sanye each earned 1,000 yuan, and also solved their own water problem by the way.
Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and this is indeed the truth.
Zhenhua also avenged with one arrow, these old guys didn't let themselves build roads, and they also earned them!
Let them dig the roadbed slowly, the little bit of arable land they expanded, they have collected three or five buckets more, and they are still earned by their own diesel engines!
In fact, Zhenhua doesn't care how much money he makes, at least he doesn't like it.
His father was dazzled and smiling, thinking that he had taken a big advantage, and he wished to fight drought every day. This money is a lot of money, it's really a machine sound, 10,000 taels of gold!
Those who don't have diesel engine water pumps are also red-eyed and thinking about saving money to buy machinery.
After the rice planting was completed, it was not long before the summer vacation began.
Zhenhua thought that he could take a break, but he didn't expect the village secretary Ge Shoudao and the Qin committee member in charge of education in the township to come over together, and said with a smile: "Zhenhua, the task is coming!"
"What task do you want me to do?" Zhenhua was a little puzzled.
I am just a private teacher, and I am not a village cadre, so how can I still assign tasks to myself by the committee members of the labor township? I am flattered!
"Literacy. Commissioner Qin took out a cigarette, threw one at Zhenhua, and said:
"This is a nationwide effort to eradicate illiteracy, which requires action from top to bottom, and action in rural areas across the country. The literacy teacher in Dongwan Village is you! Those normal students and teachers have all gone home for the summer vacation, which is inconvenient. You are a mountain carving, you live close and you have energy......"
When Zhao Chenghai heard this, he hurriedly came out and asked, "Do you have a salary?"
"Of course there is a salary!" Committee member Qin smiled and said: "Not only Zhenhua has a salary for teaching, but everyone who goes to study in a literacy class also has a salary!"
"Do you still have a salary for studying?" Zhao Chenghai was surprised.
"Yes, there is also a salary for studying, one dollar a day. Zhenhua teaches literacy classes, and the salary is six yuan a day, a total of 30 days, and classes are two hours in the afternoon every day. Commissioner Qin said.
"Dad, I'll give you a name first, it's okay in the summer anyway, you go to the literacy class to study, and you can still earn a dollar a day." Zhenhua said.
"I'm not going, I'm busy!" Zhao Chenghai fled.
Commissioner Qin said with a smile: "This time, the focus of literacy eradication is on young people. Illiterate people under the age of 30 are required to attend literacy classes. Those over the age of 30 may participate voluntarily, and they will not be required to participate. ”
Ge Shoudao also nodded and said: "We will now do the mapping work first, and in two days, all the illiterate people in the village will be counted in place, and the class will officially start the day after tomorrow." ”
Committee member Qin took out another cigarette and sent it around, and said: "I have to go to other villages to arrange literacy work, and I will work hard for Zhenhua and Secretary Ge here." ”
Zhenhua nodded, and after seeing Commissioner Qin leave, he and Ge Shoudao went door-to-door to register.
Zhenhua and Ge Shoudao are very familiar with the situation in the village, and their children have not studied, they are all clear, and the registration work is very fast.
The key targets are those newly married little daughters-in-law, some of whom don't know the roots.
When he arrived at a group of Tang Quan's homes, Zhenhua was a little embarrassed and asked Ge Shoudao to ask Song Hongju by himself.
Ge Shoudao didn't know about the "grievances and hatreds" between Zhenhua and Song Hongju, so he pushed Zhenhua into the house and said with a smile: "Is the Tang family here? There is a literacy class this year, let's get to know ......."
Song Hongju walked out of the bedroom with the child of about six months in her arms, frowning and looking at Ge Shoudao and Zhenhua.
Zhenhua smiled without saying a word, and looked to the side.
Ge Shoudao asked, "Your name is Song Hongju, right? Let's find out, have you ever gone to school?"
Song Hongju shook her head: "No." ”
"Oh, that's illiterate. This year, there is a stipulation that all illiterate people under the age of 30 must attend literacy classes. At 3 p.m. the day after tomorrow, you will go to the village primary school to attend a literacy class. Teacher Zhenhua will teach you a lesson and help you get rid of illiteracy. Ge Shoudao registered Song Hongju in the register.
"Won't I go?" Song Hongju frowned.
"No, if you don't go, you'll be fined! Go to class, a subsidy of one dollar a day, and give you textbooks, homework books and pencils and ......erasers for free."
"Well, I'll go to school the day after tomorrow. Song Hongju sighed softly.
I think when I was in school, my family couldn't pay the tuition, and I cried for many days before my father lent me money to go to school. Ge Shoudao sighed, and then arranged with Zhenhua to make the next one.
After one group finished touching and arranging, Zhenhua and Ge Shoudao came to the home of Song Jiacai in the second group.
Song Jiacai heard that there was money in class, so he grinned and said: "All four members of my family are illiterate, you all register, and we will all go to class the day after tomorrow!"
Zhenhua rolled his eyes and said, "Your son is only two or three years old, and he is also illiterate?"
Song Jiacai said with a smile: "Aren't all those who have never been to school illiterate?" My son has never been to school, what is not illiterate?"
Zhenhua registered Song Jiacai and Tieqiao in the register, and glared again: "You have it, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you." The afternoon after tomorrow, if you go to class with Tieqiao, your uncle won't go, and those over thirty years old won't!"
In one day's work, all the work was completed.
It's really not that I don't know, but I'm shocked.
According to the statistical results, there are more than 60 illiterate people under the age of 30 in the 17 natural villages of the Dongwan Brigade!
Moreover, there are many semi-literate people who know 100 words, but they are not registered.
Among these illiterates, most of them are young daughters-in-law and big girls.
There are only two men, one is Lu Shengsong and the other is Song Jiacai.
The countryman has a serious patriarchal mentality, and when he gives birth to a son, he always has to let him study for two years, and the daughter doesn't care, whether she likes to read or not.
Lu Shengsong actually read books, that is, he studied in the first grade for three or four years, and he still can't write his own name. This time he signed up by himself, and Zhenhua and Ge Shoudao were not easy to refuse.
Song Jiacai did not study because his family was poor and could not afford to pay the tuition at that time.
In addition to being a literacy teacher, Zhenhua also has a task, which is to write literacy propaganda slogans everywhere.
Ge Shoudao gave Zhenhua two small barrels of red paint and a row of pens, gave Zhenhua a script of the slogan, and then left it completely careless, and let Zhenhua write the slogan.
Slogans are mainly written on the walls of the village primary school and the village office, as well as at the intersections of each natural village.
According to the unified requirements, Zhenhua wrote a slogan on the wall of the village primary school with red paint: Marry a wife and don't marry an illiterate girl, marry someone and don't marry an illiterate man!
Before the start of the class, Zhenhua wrote a slogan for the day, and he was so tired that his back hurt.
On the morning of the first day of class, Zhenhua went to the school to clean up, tidy up the desks and chairs, but found that the slogan on the school wall had been tampered with.
The slogan was changed to be incompatible, and it was contrary to the policy!
Originally, it was "marry a wife and not marry an illiterate girl, and marry someone without marrying an illiterate man", but now, the word "no" has been scraped off and becomes: marry a wife and marry an illiterate girl, marry someone and marry an illiterate man!
(The second update, guess who tampered with the slogan?)
