Chapter 159: Protecting the Calf
And the girls in the village who are almost the same age as her, except for Wang Leilei, who has learned from her and studied abroad, and then Wang Maixiang and the other two little girls who recognize her as the boss, count together, not a slap in the face, but if Jiang Yuanchao is careful, it is not difficult to recognize her from a few of them.
Lu Xiangbei rubbed the top of his daughter-in-law's hair: "It's cool and refreshing, and then put on the work bib pants and white short sleeves that grandma bought for you, it must be very pretty." ”
"Why did you ask grandma to buy me so many things, it's not that I don't have clothes to wear, this purchase is two clothes and pants and a skirt, and I also buy a pair of small white shoes and a pair of leather sandals, it will definitely cost grandma a lot of money."
She really doesn't lack clothes to wear, and she doesn't lack thanks, besides, she is growing up, there are too many clothes and shoes, and it is estimated that she will not be able to wear it for a long time.
"Grandma said that the family's money will not be spent on you to anyone, and she said that she will dress you up beautifully, besides, it doesn't cost a lot of money to buy those clothes and shoes, you can wear them a few more times if you like, and if you don't like to put them away,"
Speaking of this, Lu Xiangbei paused slightly, and Fang continued: "It was bought for you by me and my grandfather along with my grandmother, and I have help as a staff officer." ”
When Ye Xia heard this, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then smiled and praised: "If you have a good eye, I will listen to you, I will wear that gray work bib and pure white short sleeves." ”
This is to let her know his intentions, know that he misses her, and personally go to choose clothes, fool, obviously has lived a fine life, but still like a hairy boy who has just started to love, hoping to get her attention and "please" her for love, but she is very happy, and she is very moved by his care.
"If you like it."
The corners of Lu Xiangbei's mouth smiled, and he was very happy in his heart, he liked his daughter-in-law to wear beautiful clothes, he liked her not to think about anything, and he was happy to wear the clothes he bought for her, and any small objects he bought for her in daily life.
"Did you just buy it for me?"
Ye Xia asked.
Lu Xiangbei shook his head: "Grandma and I have added a short sleeve." ”
"Let's send a package to my grandparents another day."
There are a lot of comfortable fabrics in the space, she has the craftsmanship to give to the two old people, no, she wants to give her grandmother and grandparents, and the two elders of the Cheng family, each make clothes to honor several elders.
Well, her parents must have done it too, but it can only be said that they bought it at a department store.
"Okay."
Lu Xiangbei responded, and at this time, Ye Xia suddenly changed the topic: "The summer vacation is still long, I want to open a literacy class in the village, what do you think?" ”
Without waiting for Lu Xiangbei to make a sound, she said: "I can go to the field to earn work, but my parents and brothers will never let me touch farm tools, so I will do a good job of logistics at home, and then take advantage of the noon and afternoon work of the members to come back from work, teach everyone literacy and simple mathematics, and improve the cultural level of the whole brigade as a whole." ”
The spiritual life is poor, and the members of the club go home after work to eat, either pulling the east and west families to short, or burying their heads in sleep, and there is nothing to say about sleeping in their own homes to replenish their physical strength.
But pulling other people's parents short, this is right and wrong, it is easy to cause neighborhood conflicts, she is now idle at home, just to help her father, the captain, a little favor, improve the quality of the big pear tree members, so that the minds of the big guys are slowly truly emancipated.
She knew that after the liberation, the working group had sent teachers to each village to run literacy classes, but the effect was very small.
Even if there are five siblings in their family who go to school as role models, the proportion of people in a huge village who can be sent to school by their families is not optimistic at all.
Reading makes people enlightened and reasonable, and they know whether what they do on weekdays is right or wrong, lest everyone keep talking about girls as "losing money", lest every family take having a son as their life goal.
It is natural to take the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law as a matter of course, and it doesn't matter if a man beats his daughter-in-law, she has never thought about changing the status quo on a large scale, after all, she does not have that right, but she is a member of the big pear tree, and her father is the captain.
"I'm afraid that regular literacy will not work."
Lu Xiangbei reminded. "I know that the vast majority of the members feel that reading is useless, even if there is an example of me, which has led to a lot of children going to school and studying.
But this increase in the proportion of all school-age children in the brigade is not worth mentioning, and many of those who send children to Chunxiao have an attitude of trying, once the child can't read, nine times out of ten will be withdrawn. ”
"They may also think that you are just an example, and not all children can be as successful as you, especially girls who are regarded as 'losing money'."
Hearing Lu Xiangbei's words, Ye Xia was silent, and after a while, she sighed lightly and said, "Losing money? It's all feudal thinking, so everyone treats girls like this," Speaking of this, the corners of Ye Xia's mouth lifted a mocking arc:
"When I finished eating, my mother said that Cuilian's sister-in-law finally gave birth to a boy after the New Year, and Brother Jianmin's family was very happy.
The second and third girls instilled that they should love their younger brothers, let their younger brothers, and leave the delicious food to their younger brothers, saying that their younger brothers are the pillars of the family and the support of their future marriages to their in-laws' families, and they must not let their younger brothers be wronged.
Listen to these words, isn't this teaching what the Brother-in-law is? I thought that Cuilian's sister-in-law was standing up, but I didn't think that this was standing up, but my brain was still confused, treating my son as a baby bump, and raising my daughter to help my brother. ”
"It's not worth being angry at that kind of person."
Lu Xiangbei comforted his daughter-in-law.
Ye Xia sneered: "I'm not angry for her, I'm just sorry for a female doll like the eldest girl and her three sisters." ”
Ignorance dominates thoughts, and it's scary to think about it, this fear is not the kind of fear that is commonly said, it is a sad feeling of ignorance and self-awareness, which brings lifelong harm to the girls in the family.
She doesn't think that the brother-in-law demon in this world will live a good life in her in-law's house, will be trusted by her husband, and loved by her children, because people's hearts are complicated, who wants to watch their own things being poured out from time to time?
Once or twice may be nothing, but the number of times is too much, and it is strange that there is no contradiction!
"It's easy to get wrinkles if you think about it, good, we don't want to be so successful?!"
Lu Xiangbei coaxed his daughter-in-law softly, and when he heard this, Ye Xia snorted, and his tone was very arrogant: "Long wrinkles? You're not kidding? I'm still a loli, okay? ”
"Yes, yes, you're Lori now, but I don't want to see you bother thinking about something that has nothing to do with us."
Lu Xiangbei couldn't help laughing out loud when he was amused by his daughter-in-law, and when he heard what he said, Ye Xia pursed his lips and responded: "I'm not nosy." Tomorrow and my dad will have a fun literacy class during the holidays, two hours a day, set after lunch and dinner, respectively, and the location will be the village elementary school. ”
Lu Xiangbei asked, "Do you need my help?" ”
"No, you sort out what I asked you to write, and I'll be able to arrange it myself." Ye Xia shook his head and refused, then looked at the courtyard gate that was close at hand, and whispered, "Good night." ”
She could hear the voices in the courtyard, and it could be seen that her parents had not slept yet, waiting for them to come back.
"Good night."
Lu Xiangbei replied, and the two walked into the courtyard one after the other.
"Xia Xia and Jun Lang are back, let's go wash and sleep."
Jiang An spoke, got up first, and walked to the hall.
"Dad, I have something to tell you."
Ye Xia took two quick steps and chased her father to the West House. After about ten minutes, Jiang An asked his daughter to make sure he heard correctly: "Have you thought clearly?" This literacy class is not easy to run, don't wait for your dad and me to say it, you will be made unable to hold on by the members of the club halfway. ”
"Dad, don't worry, I can bring it up, naturally I have figured out how to open this literacy class, you wait and see."
Rigidly teaching literacy and arithmetic, for the members who come back from work and are tired of becoming dogs, naturally can't listen to it, but this literacy method has changed, and the method of teaching arithmetic has also changed.
For example, each word can be told with a corresponding short story, and everyone can learn in the process of relieving boredom and remember it unconsciously, as for arithmetic, it can also be learned with a short story, and simple fun games can also be used.
With the stories she has in mind and her ability to make up stories, she believes that running a literacy class will not be a problem. "Okay, I'll inform everyone on the brigade radio before I go to work tomorrow, and you get ready at home."
"Yes, Captain!"
Ye Xia peeled down, stood in the center of the West House, her slender figure was straight and straight, raised her right hand and saluted her father, which made Jiang An amused and helpless: "You can just skin it." ”
Ye Xia laughed and said, "I got up early to eat, and while the weather is cool, I'll also go to earn work for our family, right?" ”
She has a lot of strength, and she has no trouble doing farm work.
"No, you stay at home obediently, our family doesn't lack your little work in exchange for rations."
Before Jiang An could speak, Lin Lan's voice came from outside the door of the West House: "The sun is drying in the field, and there are mosquitoes, what are you going to do?" Besides, your dad and I never thought you would go to the field to earn a job. ”
"Then I can't be idle all the time, can I?"
Ye Xia's bright apricot eyes widened: "Labor is glorious, everyone is busy, I can't just be a rice worm." ”
"Who said you were a rice worm? If you can't be idle, take care of your younger brothers and sisters, clean up the house, cook and wait for your dad and your eldest brother to come back from work to help. ”
"Okay, I'll listen to my mother."
It's very simple to do housework and take care of Xiaodouding, while it is not too hot for a period of time after everyone goes to work, she can also go to cut pigweed and earn some work for the family. The taste of facing the loess with its back to the sky is not pleasant,
If she blindly hides from work to avoid work, it is not something she can do, so she will do her best to take care of Xiaodouding and the trivial work at home from her own conscience.
Moreover, in the past three years, she has indeed acted freely, doing what she should do, rather than seeing herself as a young lady.
The next day, when the members heard the comrades on the radio of the brigade, they were almost stunned for a few seconds, and then their expressions changed, and they carried farm tools to work in the fields.
"Are you going to literacy classes?"
"Go, why don't you go? It's the lucky doll of the captain's family to give us literacy for free, and people are kind, I just can't learn to pass the words, and I have to support the lucky doll of the captain's family from action. By the way, what about you? ”
"I ...... I'll see when I get there. ”
"This is so decent, why does Xia Xia's girl want to give our big guy a literacy?"
"Everyone has been illiterate for generations, and life has not been the same until now, I think literacy is completely unnecessary!"
"Dog's family, you know what a fart! Can this literacy be the same as illiteracy? Our ancestors have lived until now, but we have been farming in the nest of the mountain, and people know each other
What are the words for? ”
"I'll fight myself for this, and I'll eat lightly!"
"Oh yes! People who have read books and go to the city to work, it is like us facing the loess with our backs to the sky, working hard in the ground to eat, and also, as far as we are illiterate, entering the city is a smear with two eyes, and it is easiest to be deceived! ”
"Yes, yes, in the past, those who can read and write are all young masters and young ladies from rich families, and when people come out to look at it, it is different from what we eat in the field."
"I'm going to a literacy class, even if I recognize a word a day, at least I won't be deceived casually when I go to the city."
"Haha! It seems that you have not been in the city less. ”
"What's going on? Before the New Year, I went to the county town to go shopping, buy something in the county department store and come back to show you. "The women were busy working in the fields waving their farm tools and talking about the literacy class.
"In the past, the comrades of the working group went to the village to give us illiteracy, but at that time, the men, women and children in our village did not see any major movements."
"That's because people haven't really realized how important literacy is."
"Little Xena'er's brain is not an ordinary aura, maybe she can let us remember it by teaching everyone to read and write, iron egg mother, why don't we go and see it together after lunch?"
"Cheng, go together."
The female members were discussing, and the male members were also talking about Ye Xia's opening of literacy classes and volunteering to teach everyone literacy and simple arithmetic.
"Boss Jiang, are you going to cheer for your niece?"
A male member asked Jiang Ping.
"I know a few words, but Xia Xia wants to teach the big guy to read, I will still learn it, and there is no harm in being more literate."
The fourth and second rooms are close, they work actively on weekdays, and they are honest and never lazy, but they didn't expect to be rated as an advanced model worker, and when they recruited workers on the pig farm on the brigade,
was unexpectedly hired and became a regular worker who received 32 yuan a month and ate public food. You don't have to go to the field to sell heavy labor to earn labor, you just need to feed the pigs every day, and it's easy to think about it.
Jiang Ping is very envious of Jiang He's luck, even the old five Jiang Shun is also very envious of Jiang He, although the pig farm is opened by the brigade, although the work of the pig farm is a bit buried, but as soon as a person is hired, he is a regular worker.
You can get a salary of 32 yuan a month when you get on the job, and like the workers in the city, you have rest days and benefits, where is like him, he is still a temporary worker, and his salary has never risen from 15 to 23.
Jiang Shun has been in the past two or three months, and when he thinks of Jiang He's good luck, he is upset for a while. If it weren't for Niu Pingping's coaxing and persuasion, Jiang Shun really wanted to quit his job as a temporary worker in the supply and marketing cooperative, go back to the village to earn work and compete for the advanced, become a model worker, and then become a pig farm or a feed factory worker.
Especially when he occasionally went back to the village to visit his father and mother, he saw that the feed factory of the brigade was busy, and from time to time there were other brigade wagons, ox carts, donkey carts, and county, city, and even province.
Even trucks from other provinces came to the feed factory to pull feed, and when they saw the pigs on the pig farm being fed fat and strong, and saw those pigs being transported away by the commune, the county meat factory, and the city meat factory, their eyes flashed with great unity. That's all money!
At the end of the year, the members of the entire brigade will definitely get a lot of money, and they will be able to get a pound of tender and fatty pork. And he ...... Although he is a member of the team, he has not contributed to the team, and it is estimated that he will not be able to share a pound of pork.
"I said Boss Jiang, have you been particularly envious of your fourth child in the past few months?"
Some members raised their voices to make fun of Jiang Ping, and when they heard this, Jiang Ping put his hoe in his hand and squinted his eyes: "Envy is useful? ”
He does envy the fourth brother, but he also knows that people rely on their ability to become a worker on a pig farm, and there is no place for him to beak. The member who joked about Jiang Ping scratched his head and said with a little embarrassment: "It's useless." ”
"It's good to know."
Saying sour things in front of him is nothing more than trying to make a conflict between their brothers, so that they can show them a joke. Scold! Is he that stupid? Not to mention that my father and mother don't let them be brothers and drag the second brother of the captain back,
It's just that he is so old that he still understands the words "incorruptible and shameful" to some extent.
If you are so stupid that you have a relationship with your brother because of envy and jealousy that you are a worker, you don't need to think about it, you will be chased and beaten by him with a stick.
At the end of the morning, the members laughed and went back to their respective homes, about 12:50, Ye Xia stood on the podium of a fairly stable classroom in the village school, and said "steady", because at least half of the classrooms in the village were called dilapidated houses, but Rao was like this, and it was still used as a classroom for children to teach.
Ye Xia went to school in the village elementary school before, but she didn't think much about it, but today she stepped into the school gate, looking at the cracks in the adobe wall, looking at the broken windows, and the thatch on the roof lifted by the mountain wind, and her heart was particularly uncomfortable.
It costs a lot of 167 to build a classroom in a blue brick house, and then it costs 200 yuan to build six classrooms at a time, and then build two more, one as the teacher's office, one for the library and equipment room, and eight classrooms down, it costs 1,600, she has.
Thinking quietly, Ye Xia didn't pay attention to the members in the classroom who were all quiet, and looked straight at her.
Is it necessary to build two dormitories for male and female teachers, as well as a half-room canteen for faculty and staff?
Anyway, the rewards given to her by the provincial education department to the city, county, commune and brigade add up to more than 2,000 yuan, and it should not be a problem to make the village school look new.
Making a decision, Ye Xia smiled in his heart, Fang came back to his senses, and looked at the members who came to participate in the literacy class.
There were men, women, children, and a few old people, but as far as the number of people Ye Xia saw, there were probably only forty or fifty people. The eyebrows frowned imperceptibly, there were more than 800 households in the whole team, but there were only so many people who came to eradicate illiteracy, to be precise, not exactly to eradicate illiteracy, and many of them came to see the excitement, which really made her not know what to say.
Suppressing the emotions in his heart, Ye Xia smiled, said hello to everyone, and said: "The schools in our village are basically dilapidated houses, before I start teaching everyone to read, let me first say,
Earlier, I went abroad to participate in the competition, and the province and city, as well as our county and commune and our brigade all gave me cash prizes, and I don't need this money at the moment, so I will use it to build a new school for the children in our village.
When the team decides on the school building, I hope everyone can make every effort to build a safe and bright school building for the children in our village. ”
In an instant, there was silence in the classroom, and after a while, the members seemed to have exploded, and there were heated discussions among each other, looking at Ye Xia with incredulous eyes, and then many members confirmed to Ye Xia.
"Xia Xia, are you telling the truth? Do you really want to rebuild a school in our village? ”
"Xiao Xia, why don't I believe it, this is going to build a school, but it will cost a lot of money, are you really willing to do it?"
"Sister Xia Xia, you didn't lie to us, did you, you want to give us the new classroom?"
Everyone, you and I are basically asking Ye Xia in a questioning and unbelievable tone.
"I am responsible for what I said, so don't worry."
Ye Xia said this in an affirmative tone, and then someone asked, "Then when can we get the exact news?" When will the construction start? ”
When her children grow up, they won't have the opportunity to come back to school, but her little grandson, who has just been born for a short time, can get the light of the new school and sit in a safe classroom and listen to the teacher's lectures.
"By the way, are you building a new school for our village, are all brick houses built?"
When this voice fell, Jiang An, Wang Zhishu, and several other cadres of the brigade walked into the classroom.
"Yikes! The captain and the branch secretary are here, did you hear outside the classroom just now that Xia Xia is going to build a new school for our village, saying that all the money will be paid by her, Xia Xia, right? ”
The members who spoke rolled their eyes, and made up their minds to sit on Ye Xia's promise.
Wang Zhishu and several cadres of the brigade department looked at the emotional members in the classroom inexplicably, while Jiang An frowned, how could he not hear the intention of the members of the club who spoke to him, his face was cold, Jiang An looked at each other steadily, and at this moment, the classroom fell silent instantly, only to hear Jiang An say:
"I know that there are many members and comrades who are jealous of my daughter's wisdom and talent, through her to win glory for the country, and get cash rewards from the departments at all levels, but I hope you understand,
No matter how many rewards my daughter has, it is her own, she is willing to take out the money to build a school for the village, I have no opinion on being a Laozi, but everyone should not take what my daughter does for granted.
Let's just talk about the pig farm and feed factory opened by our brigade, how much my daughter has paid, the big guy should have the bottom in his heart, but what has Xia Xia preached to the outside world? ”
