"Okay," Boss Wang said, sitting cross-legged on the clay kang, lighting a paper cigarette, and smoking it: "I have come this time on the orders of Professor Pei of Peking University, Professor Pei and some other high-level democrats, to launch a 'popular education' activity. ”

"Popular education?" Professor Wan also lit a cigarette and said with some suspicion: "At present, the warlords are divided, the people are struggling to make a living, the war will resume at any time, and even formal school education is difficult to continue, how can public education be carried out?" The people are so poor that it is difficult to even make ends meet, so how feasible is it to carry out an education campaign at this time? ”

"I disagree," Gai stood up and said loudly: "At present, the country is in chaos, wars are rampant, and the people's livelihood is suffering, but the salvation of the country's future stems precisely from the people's self-awakening and resistance, not by the mercy of the warlords, China's education has fallen into stagnation and backwardness in recent years, this is a national disaster, the more ignorant the people, the more hopeless the country's prosperity, at the same time, the people's hardships are more difficult, they are more eager for the country's prosperity, and it also provides a favorable side for us to carry out education." Therefore, for public education, doing more points will contribute to the speed of people's awakening earlier, I think Professor Pei's proposition is timely, normal and wise, we should fully support and respond positively. ”

There was a round of applause in the cabin, and even Professor Wan smiled and said, "You're right, I was really short-sighted just now, and I agree." ”

Boss Wang spewed a choking dry smoke and nodded, "Professor Pei also means this, he said, relying on a few of our professors, shouting through their throats, few people heard, if you don't mobilize the people, the country will have no hope." Even if our actions are slow to take effect, we have to work hard to do it, even if we do it for a lifetime, two lifetimes, we must persevere. ”

He Yuan stood against the door frame of the hut, holding his arms and smoking his small cigarette pouch, Professor Wan asked him, "Old He, what is your opinion?" ”

"I also agree," He Yuan said, "I am thinking that carrying out public education is not a simple matter, and we must not simplify it, but we must not only seize the banner of 'legality', but also turn it into a channel for us to liaise and mobilize the people, and integrate the anti-militarist struggle with public education." ”

"Okay, good idea, that's it." Zhuang Xianming and others all agreed, "Our peasant unions, trade unions, and student unions will mobilize together, and we will definitely be able to do it." ”

"Well," He Yuan tapped the cigarette pot with satisfaction, "I pondered, we have no shortage of teachers and manpower, and what is lacking in front of us is funds." ”

Professor Wan said: "Because of the ugliness, I mobilized some intellectuals to engage in a voluntary movement. ”

"That's not enough, the current class of workers and peasants, generally poor, as you just said, the livelihood is not yet sustainable, where is there time to participate in other activities? Just like the beggars under Lao Gai, if you don't let them beg for food, they will starve to death. If we can solve their immediate difficulties, it will be more effective than any kind of appeal. It's just that this question is a bit difficult, so let's figure it out slowly. ”

After discussing for a while, they gradually reached a consensus, and carried out their own division of labor to mobilize the backbone of each session to first build momentum for the launch of the popular education campaign, and then choose the opportunity to act step by step. He Yuan said to Boss Wang: "Lao Wang, if you don't have anything else to do for the time being, let's stay first, our newly established small team, everyone is very enthusiastic, but they all lack basic skills, we don't have real combat effectiveness, we can only be slaughtered by others when we encounter warlord suppression, therefore, military training is needed." ”

"Okay."

After the meeting was dispersed, He Yuan arranged for the people in the city to return in batches, and some workers and students who were temporarily free were attracted by the seized guns and asked to stay here to learn firearms knowledge.

Hu Xuan walked outside the house and saw that A-Ning had a burden and was waiting for him, so he walked over and asked, "Where did the big burden come from?" ”

"I'll take a few dirty clothes from you and Shi Suo, I'll wash them."

"Ahem, I'll just wash it myself. It's been too busy these two days. ”

A-Ning ignored him, Hu Xuan took out a small jade pendant from his pocket, and said with a smile: "Look, a few days ago, I received a small jade pendant, and I thought it was beautiful, so I thought, keep it for you, it's so good, you're here." ”

The small jade pendant is dark red, crystal clear, and extremely beautiful, A-Ning took it, cherished it very much, touched it for a while, and put it in his arms, "I'm leaving, go to the girls' middle school with Xiaoyue and them, it is said that the jade shop where you work is not far away, I can go to see you at any time." ”

"Okay, you're going to take care of yourself there." Hu Shuan took out a few more banknotes and handed them to her, "Use it first, I have saved some money from my part-time job, and now I am a small wealthy household, enough for us to live." ”

A-Ning took his hand, his eyes moistened again, "I feel like I'm dreaming, I'm looking forward to seeing you every day, I've dreamed countless times, I can see it, and I'm afraid it's a dream, I pinched my arm several times just now." ”

"Silly girl."
