When they knocked on the door, it was opened by a young woman who was no more than thirty years old.

The young woman saw that there were two young people, and her face showed a little wariness, but after looking at Yan Ruohua again, she recognized her as the daughter-in-law of Zhang Xiaodong, who got married a few days ago, and the expression on her face softened. After asking for the intention, the two were put into the house.

The child in this family is seven years old, which is normally the age of first grade.

When Yan Ruohua and Xiaoxia walked into the courtyard, they happened to see the little girl squatting in the corner, drawing something on the dirt floor with a small wooden stick.

Yan Ruohua was very curious, and leaned over to the children's backs to take a look.

This look surprised Yan Ruohua.

I saw that the little girl drew on the ground exactly what was their house, but it was not like an ordinary stick figure, but two pictures from the front and the side of the house.

If you add another top view, a proper three views!

Yan Ruohua couldn't believe that this was drawn by a child who had never gone to school!

She knew that the little girl could draw this picture, and it was not as simple as a coincidence, it was an innate mode of thinking.

This kid has a great talent for math!

"You're here to persuade her to go to school?"

Just when Yan Ruohua was taken aback, a thin man came out of the room, who didn't look very good and looked a little tired.

Seeing the man asking, Yan Ruohua just wanted to take out the set of rhetoric he had prepared and talk about it again.

Suddenly, when the man saw the little girl sitting on the ground drawing, he suddenly seemed to be very angry, stepped forward and kicked the little girl to the ground, and then rubbed the painting on the ground with the soles of his feet.

"You little wild seed, you inherited your father's high school education, right? I'm telling you, you're going to turn the soil in the field for me honestly tomorrow! Don't draw you here! ”

This time it startled both Yan Ruohua and Xiaoxia.

Yan Ruohua really wanted to help the little girl up, and then tell the man that it was wrong to abuse the child.

But this is in someone's house, and she is afraid of angering the man again, so she can only stand in place and dare not move.

"So, you're here to persuade her to go to school?" The man asked, looking back at the two of them.

“……”

Although she was a little scared, Xiao Nizi still plucked up the courage and said, "I didn't persuade her to go to school, I know that the school is in the town, far away from the village." Every family's situation is different, and it cannot be forced.

But now that she's old enough to go to school, I'm ready to get these kids together at home and learn about it. It doesn't take long, just take time out every afternoon. ”

Listening to Yan Ruohua's words, the man laughed instead.

"Knowledge? What is the use of knowledge?

"Learned knowledge, and then did something inappropriate? Relying on how much you know, and then using all kinds of means to bully ordinary people?

"I'd rather she be an ordinary person who can only farm and have babies! I don't want her to learn that bullshit like someone like you who understands culture. ”

So saying, the man lifted the little girl from the ground and walked into the house.

Xiao Xia was on the side, translating the dialect spoken by the man to Yan Ruohua as much as possible. After listening to it, Xiao Nizi listened. I vaguely feel that there is a story in the anger vented by the man.

But she is not Zhang Xiaodong, she can't understand it, and she doesn't know how to continue to persuade in this situation.

So I had to pull La Xiaoxia and signal her to go to the next house.

Before going out, the young woman who had come to open the door for them chased after her, grabbed Yan Ruohua's hand, and said in a weak tone: "Don't blame him, he is angry, mainly because I lied, and it is not about the child." I'll persuade you later, and I also hope that this kid can learn something. ”

"Are you here from out of town?" Hearing that the dialect spoken by the woman seemed to be a little different from that in this village, without waiting for Xiaoxia to translate, Yan Ruohua asked rhetorically.

“…… Yes, I was told from a village at the foot of the mountain. I know you're just like me, you're a miserable man......" As she spoke, the woman began to weep as she washed up......

……

On the way to the next house, Yan Ruohua was also pondering in her heart.

Although she couldn't understand what untold stories were happening in this family. But looking at this man's irritable temper, presumably this woman from other places must be really miserable.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a warm current in her heart.

Although Zhang Xiaodong has some skin on his mouth, if he didn't marry him, he would be a hard-working person now, as the woman said.

But now, she only feels that her future is full of hope.

After leaving from the first one, Yan Ruohua and Xiaoxia went to several more homes.

Yan Ruohua thought that it would be difficult to persuade students in this mountain village.

But she didn't think that the real difficulty of this matter was far more difficult than she imagined.

The first family opened the door for them and let them into the courtyard.

The next few families, after asking at the door to understand the intention, directly gave the two of them a closed door, and the door was not allowed to enter.

Xiao Xia persuaded on the side: "Sister-in-law, look, let's not forget it." It has to be that these people don't know what to do and waste your good intentions. ”

No way!

Yan Ruohua felt that her face was a little unbearable.

Zhang Xiaodong gave himself such a task, if he didn't do any of it, wouldn't he be greeted with endless ridicule that night.

"Xiaoxia, let's try again! If this one doesn't work, forget it today. Yan Ruohua gritted her teeth and said.

According to the map she memorized, the household in front of the two of them on the left was the last of the three special families marked by Zhang Xiaodong. If this family still doesn't work, then there is really no need for her to continue.

"Okay, sister-in-law, this is the house, but his child is only six years old, a little small, and according to my understanding, the situation of their family is ...... I don't think my child will go to school. Well...... Sister-in-law, this time you knock on the door, or I knock. ”

As a native of the village, after eating so much closed-door soup, Zhang Xiaoxia couldn't stand it, so she started a way with Yan Ruohua to knock on the door once and talk once for one person.

"I'm coming!" Xiao Nizi's eyes are like torches.

……

"Oh, you're the daughter-in-law of Xiaodong who got married a few days ago, aren't you? It's so handsome, it's so handsome...... Alas, boy, come on in......"

Originally, after knocking on the door with apprehension, Yan Ruohua originally wanted to find a wording first, why should he sneak into the house first. But she didn't expect that the aunt who opened the door actually invited her in directly.

"Come, kid, let's eat a sweet potato first! There are no other good things at home, so you will be wronged first? The aunt took out two pieces of sweet potatoes from the stove and stuffed them into Yan Ruohua and Xiaoxia's hands, and said with a cramped and sorry face.

I didn't expect to be received so politely and friendly, Yan Ruohua was a little embarrassed, and said with a serious expression:

"Auntie...... I'm here to persuade your family to send their children to me to study. If you don't agree, I can't eat this sweet potato. ”

"Oh...... Learn. Agreed, of course agreed...... Child, it's not easy for you, and this thought, it's really hard for you, you are really the seven fairies who went down and down that day. ”

The aunt's expression was a little excited, and as she spoke, she asked on the bed in the back room, "Baby, you must agree, don't you?" ”

"Ahem." A woman's cough came from inside the room, "Mom...... Of course I'd like to have this good thing......"

Yan Ruohua and Zhang Xiaoxia looked at each other in disbelief with fragrant roasted sweet potatoes in their hands.

This time, it was too smooth!
