Chapter 50 Meetings
During the training period when Keke took everyone, the village chief Zhang Xingwang came to the house and asked Keke to go to the ancestral hall.
In the next morning, Keke took Qingwan and Huimin to the ancestral hall, and many people had gathered in the ancestral hall at this time. When Li Changsheng saw Keke, he beckoned, "Keke, come here." ”
Li Changsheng sat on the top, next to Zhang Xingwang, and there was an empty chair next to Zhang Xingwang.
Keke walked to the front, looked at the position in front of him, and there was still an empty seat next to Grandma Sun, so he said, "Uncle Li, it's the same for me to sit next to Grandma Sun." After speaking, he asked Granny Sun, "Is there anyone here?" ”
Grandma Sun said happily: "No one, just sit!" ”
"Thank you, Granny Sun!" Keke also said with a smile, and said to Qingwan and Huimin, "You also go find a place to sit down." ”
After hearing this, the two of them also found a place to sit.
"Miss Keke, thank you very much, not only let the children in the village have books to read, not to mention spending a lot of money every month, but now I want the girls to read and read together." Grandma Sun said to Keke gratefully.
"Grandma Sun is welcome, I just want the girls to live a better life in the future!" Keke said.
"You have a heart, women are not as good as men, and the world is also patriarchal, there are girls born in the family who are thrown directly to the mountains, and there are also those who lack food at home and sell the girls for some money, like you plan for the girls, my wife has lived for all these years, and I only see you have this kindness." After speaking, he said sincerely, "Keke, thank you so much." I just hope that the girls will read some books, so that they can be a good family in the future, and their reading and literacy can be valued by their in-laws. ”
"Grandma Sun rest assured, I will let people teach them seriously, not only to teach them to read and write, but also to teach them embroidery, cooking, accounting and so on. As long as they learn hard, they will be able to support themselves with the skills they have learned in the future, and they will not be underestimated in the future. Keke said.
"That's great, but it's going to cost a lot of money, and it's not cheap to repair a house and hire a teacher! I asked the strong son to repair the house, no money. Granny Sun said. As the two were talking, they heard Li Changsheng shouting, "Everyone be quiet!" ”
With Li Changsheng's shout, the ancestral hall that was still noisy quieted down, and seeing that everyone was quiet, Li Changsheng said loudly: "I called you here today to tell you about the women's school in our village. ”
But just after Li Changsheng finished speaking, a voice appeared below: "Captain, isn't this delaying everyone's efforts, I have never heard of a woman still being able to go to school." As the words fell, some people chimed in. For a while, the words kept talking one after another. Keke followed the sound and saw that this person was just as dissatisfied with himself as the Liang family
"Quiet down and listen to me." Li Changsheng had no choice but to shout loudly again, and as Li Changsheng shouted again, everyone quieted down again.
"You don't want to think about it, why in the rich family, in addition to the son who gave birth to a teacher, even the girls also invited a teacher to teach, and the money of the people is so much that they are panicking. What those people think is that the girls are knowledgeable and decent after reading and reading, and they can manage the family properly. It's like our Zhuang family, a little thing can make a fuss. What's more, the Keke girl also said that the school was opened, and the girls could not only read and write, but also spent money to hire a teacher to teach them embroidery, cooking, and accounting. This is also the luck of our village, and we met Miss Keke so kindly to help us. Everyone's blessings, there are many rich people in the world, who saw that they could help us with money and effort for our poor people in the past, even if people starved to death on the street in those years of the disaster, I didn't see anyone who took money out to help anyone. Li Changsheng said a lot of things before he stopped, but he only paused for a moment and then continued: "I won't say more, everyone think about it carefully, you don't let the girl come, and no one goes to your house to drag people to force you to study, don't spend a lot of money and get into trouble." ”
The first to stand up was Grandma Sun who was sitting next to Keke, and after she got up, she said: "The chief is right, thanks to Keke, the girls in the village can have this opportunity to learn this, even if the girls in the rich family's family don't have to spend a lot of money to hire a teacher to teach, and the teacher is not in vain." Miss Keke is kind, and she spends some money to let the girls in our village learn, my wife has nothing to repay Keke, and there are still two strengths in the family, and this house must be repaired to make a lot of effort, that is, the girls and children will also thank Keke in the future, remember this feeling, and can't be a white-eyed wolf. ”
Listening to what Grandma Sun took the lead, Li Changsheng smiled with relief, "What my aunt said is true, our farmers are honest, we don't have much money, and we don't have two strengths, my Chunxiang and her two nieces I will definitely send them to the women's school, not to mention more, her two brothers will definitely have to make two efforts every day." ”
Zhang Xingwang on the side also said: "My chrysanthemums will definitely follow." My chrysanthemum these two days with Miss Hui Min to learn to read, back to teach her mother to read, listen to her mother said that the embroidery has made some progress in the past two days, thanks to Cui Mama pointed out miles, the strength we will definitely come out, just this winter month is not busy with anything. ”
After listening to the words of the three of you, Keke stood up after speaking, looked around and said, "Uncles and aunts, good afternoon, grandparents." After saying hello, he continued: "I always wonder: what is the difference between a female baby and a male baby? Why do most people prefer male babies? I still don't understand! Is a female baby lazier than a male baby? No, I see that the girls in the village began to help the family when they were four or five years old, and when they were older, they learned to sew and embroider, and they couldn't hold the needle at a young age, and the ninja insisted on learning when their fingers were punctured, and finally learned to start embroidering a handkerchief, making a purse and selling it to the market for some money to come back to subsidize the family, everyone thinks I'm right? He looked at everyone with a smile.
After listening to Keke's words, everyone thought back in their hearts, especially the aunts and grandmothers who have come over, after this mention, is this indeed the case? When I was young, I began to worry about earning money for my family.
While everyone was still thinking about it, he continued: "Could it be that the female baby eats more than the male baby? When he said this, Keke smiled: "It's not a mile" When he said this, he used the local dialect of the village, and the local dialect that was not particularly proficient made everyone laugh easily. "Actually, I can guess some of what everyone thinks in their hearts, it's nothing more than that the girl is going to get married when she grows up, isn't it your daughter if she gets married? Shouldn't it be that my daughter is going to become someone else's family when she grows up, and she can't stay at home for a few years. Everyone should take advantage of the days when they are still at home to care for them more, so that they can feel more the love of their parents and the tolerance of their brothers and sisters. In this way, even if they get married in the future, they will think more about the good of their parents and family, and those who have a better life will also find ways to help their parents' family, so that the days can be better and better. ”
After saying this, seeing that everyone was silent, Keke continued: "My mother never thought that I was a girl and didn't like me, but loved me very much. It's a pity that my mother's health was not good and she passed away early. If my mother were still alive, she would definitely love me with all her might, and I would definitely make her the happiest mother in the world. After saying the last sentence, he blinked vigorously and said: "The reason why I am willing to help the village is that I feel that everyone is simple and kind in nature, and second, I feel that everyone's life is not easy. But let not let your own girl come to the school, it belongs to each family's own business, Uncle Li is right, no one goes to your house to force your girl to learn. This women's school has been built, and it is only taught free of charge to the girls in our village, and I have to pay the tuition for others who want to come to the girls' school, otherwise I can't afford it. ”
As soon as Keke finished speaking, there was a commotion below, and one of the women stood up and said, "Thank you, Miss Keke! Not only can the boys go to school, but also for the sake of future generations in our village, it will cost you a lot. The babies can have the opportunity to read and write, and they can also learn a craft, so that the babies can have a good way out in the future. I can't teach my family Cui'er anything, the girls' school is open, I will let Cui'er go to school too, I don't expect her to be as smart as Keke you, but in the future, she can recognize a few words, learn a craft, and be looked down upon a few times, which is her blessing. It's just that our farmer really doesn't have anything to thank Keke for you, just like Aunt Sun said, there are still a few strengths, and we must make a lot of effort to repair the house or something. If there is anything you can't do at home, tell your aunt, and your aunt will help you. ”
The people in the village can basically know it now, and Keke said after hearing this: "Then I won't be polite to Sister-in-law He, if my sister-in-law's family is busy, then let Brother Zhang Li help build the school." ”
"If you have time, this school is also a major event in our village, and my family will definitely come." The two of them made up their minds, and later others also expressed their intention to build the school together, and the women's school was built vigorously, and this construction attracted the envy and red eyes of the nearby villages, but no matter how red they were, they were staring. Someone bluntly said that such a good thing has not happened in his village? This makes the people of Fengxiang Village feel that they are one level higher than other villagers, so they are more motivated, and the people who used to be bad for the female baby in the family have now improved a lot, and everyone thinks of what Keke said: The female baby was also born by herself, and if she marries, she will not be her own daughter? Just like Keke said: The girl knows how to read, learns a craft, and lives well when she gets married, and she will think more about the good of her mother's family in the future, and she will also help her mother's family, so that the days can be better and better. And as the chief said, when the girl arrives to say that she is not looked down upon and waiting to be robbed, the girl said that it is a good kiss, and the mother can not say that she can also take advantage ......of some light, and for a while each family has its own ideas, and there is no need to elaborate, only that the status of the girl in the village of Fengxiang Village has improved a lot.
