(If you want to hear more of your voices and receive more of your suggestions, search for the WeChat public account "qdread" now and pay attention to it to give more support to the "Faith Cultivation System"!) Under the leadership of Li Zijie, Bai Ling and Li Zijie arrived in a poor mountain village not far from Shanghai. Because there is a river outside the village, it is called Shanghe Village.
The poverty of the village is not due to the barrenness of the land and the reduction of land production. However, there are too many exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes now, and basically all the taxes are paid for the amount of grain collected, and there is only some money left to barely survive.
Bai Ling came to Shanghe Village and found a villager, "Uncle, where is the village chief's house?" ”
The uncle looked at Bai Ling and Li Zijie, and he didn't look like a bad person, so he told the location of Bai Ling's village chief's house: "It's the third house over there, which is the village chief's house." ”
"Thank you, uncle."
According to the uncle's guidance, Bai Ling and Li Zijie quickly found the village chief's house, and at the door of the village chief's house, he saw two children playing. Bai Ling took out a few candies, handed them to a few children, and asked, "Children, is the village chief at home?" ”
The child was very happy to receive the candy, candy was a rarity in this era, and the village was very poor, so it was impossible to buy candy for the child to eat. "Grandpa the village chief, someone is looking for you!"
"Who's looking for me." As the voices of several children fell, an old farmer in his fifties came out of the house, presumably this is the village chief.
"Presumably you are the head of Shanghe Village, I have something to discuss with you." Bai Ling said to the village chief.
"It doesn't look good to stand at the door, come in with me, sit and speak." After the village chief said this, he entered the courtyard, there was a stone table in the courtyard, and the village chief motioned for Bai Ling to sit down.
After sitting down, Bai Ling directly explained his intentions, "The village chief wants to hold a class in your village to teach the children to read and write, what do you think?" "Bai Ling intends to develop young believers, not only because it is convenient, but also because they can contribute more time to their faith.
And children are the purest, is a good object for the development of believers, using teaching methods to develop believers, it is also a good idea, in a village to teach for a period of time, the development of believers will leave, then there will be more believers, are you afraid that there will be no faith points?
"Girl, let's not hide it, our village is very poor, I'm afraid I can't take out the restraints." It is good that someone teaches children to read, and children who are literate are likely to be successful in the future. Everyone knows this truth, but the village is poor, and they can't afford to hire teachers or send their children to school.
"Don't worry, my goal is to teach more children, and I don't need to pay money, as long as there is a place in the village where I can teach, and my brother and I can live." Bai Ling looked at the village chief's expression and knew that the village chief would most likely agree, but he was just worried about money. Bai Ling didn't expect to make money, and the development of believers was the most important, so he directly said that he didn't want money.
"That's a good feeling, the girl is really a good person, and the children in the village will trouble you. The venue is easy to find, it is the courtyard of Lao Liu's house, take one to teach, and you and your brother can rest in the back room. I'll tell you the good news later, so that the villagers can send their children to class tomorrow? ”
"No problem, then my brother and I will stay in the village, and when the children are taught, we will go to the next place." Bai Ling also made it clear to the village chief that she would not stay here all the time, so as not to make an unpleasant situation when she left in the future.
"This is natural, and it is also a merit to allow more children to learn." The village chief is also more reasonable.
The village chief asked Bai Ling to sit in the courtyard for a while, and the village chief went to the village to call someone, first, to inform the village that a teacher had come, and let the children in the village go to school in the courtyard of Lao Liu's house tomorrow. The second is to call some people to clean up the house of Lao Liu's family and sort out the rooms that can live in them. The young teacher said that he didn't need money, and the village couldn't give him money, but he could still clean up the house.
There is a lot of strength in numbers, and the house is quickly tidied up. The villagers are very happy that their children will be able to read and write in the future, and they will be able to be more productive than themselves, and the parents will of course be happy.
After tidying up the yard, the village chief took Bai Ling to live in the courtyard and start classes tomorrow. Of course, the village chief said that it didn't matter if Bai Ling was lecturing for a few days. However, Bai Ling refused, Bai Ling came to develop believers, and if he developed one day earlier, he would have more faith, and naturally he would not waste time.
Besides, the children here were developed into believers earlier, and Bai Ling could go to the next place. Bai Ling was still very nervous when he crossed for the first time, and he didn't know if he would forget the things of the original world after being in this world for a long time, so Bai Ling didn't plan to stay in this world for the limit of 100 years, so he naturally had to hurry up.
Besides, in another year, this land will be full of war, and it is really unsafe, so Bai Ling is estimated that he will not stay for too long, and time cannot be wasted at will.
Early the next morning, Bai Ling got up, and Li Zijie also got up early, and said to Bai Ling: "Sister Bai Ling, can I read and write with you?" ”
"Of course, you can listen to the class with those kids." Bai Ling looked at Li Zijie's cowardly appearance, and thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be this small matter.
Of course, Bai Ling didn't know that the people's thirst for knowledge in that era, because knowledge changed fate, was a true portrayal. Otherwise, Bai Ling would not have been courteous to the village chief.
It didn't take long for the children in the village to come one after another, because Lao Liu's family didn't have so many stools to sit on, so each child brought a small stool by himself.
Bai Ling counted, big and small children, the youngest was four or five years old, and the eldest was fourteen or fifteen years old, there were a total of 45 children. It seems that this village is still very prosperous, because this village is not big, but there are so many children.
Of course, it is now the time of the farming in the village, so there are so many children here, and if the farming is busy, many of these children have to help, and there is no time to study. After all, survival is the most fundamental, so the food in the land is the most important, if the harvest is not urgent, a rain falls, the grain production may be reduced, that is not the poor rural people can bear.
Bai Ling looked at the children who came to study, basically all of them were boys, and there were very few girls, Bai Ling was a little strange, could it be that there were only boys in this village?
So Bai Ling asked the village chief this question: "Village chief, why don't there be many girls in your village?" ”
"Female babies are all going to get married, so they won't study." The village chief is obviously a person who loves children rather than daughters, and in fact, most people here think like this, which is why there are so few girls here.
"Village chief, this is not right, now women can hold up a piece of the sky. Even if a girl is just a husband and a child in the future, she can marry a good family with a little knowledge, and she can teach her offspring to learn in the future, there are many benefits, how can you not learn. ”
"Okay then, let the girl come to learn tomorrow."
