Nothing in this world can be taken for granted. Women's rights do not come from the concession of men, but from the struggle of countless people.

Or should I say, the struggle.

Ye Heqi has seen the future, so he can more deeply appreciate the hardships and greatness of the present.

After eating, Zhou Qihuai took out the pastries sent by Yao Rong, another employee made a pot of tea, and several people chatted while eating pastries and drinking hot tea.

From Zhou Qihuai and them, Yao Rong and Ye Heqi knew more about Chen Wan.

Chen Wan studied abroad with her parents when she was young, and married after returning to China, and a few years ago, her husband died on the battlefield, and she took out all her savings to open this newspaper.

The office of the newspaper is located in Chen Wan's own house.

Zhou Qihuai stuffed a handful of freshly roasted peanuts into Ye Heqi's hand: "The sales of "Women's Daily" have not been good over the years, and Editor-in-Chief Chen has spent a lot of effort to maintain the current situation. ”

Ye Heqi gave half of the peanuts to Yao Rong, Yao Rong peeled off the shells of the flowers, and rubbed off the red coat outside: "Why is the sales bad?" ”

Zhou Qihuai said: "Men basically don't buy it, and among women, only a small part of them have read books." Of these very few, only a smaller part will pay for the Female Newspaper. ”

The audience for which their newspaper is targeting is destined to be impossible to sell.

"But somebody has to do it. Even if the sales are not good, if you keep doing it, you can influence one more person, and there will be more female power in this world. ”

Yao Rong said: "Miss Zhou's words are somewhat similar to what my daughter said in the morning. ”

Zhou Qihuai still remembered Ye Heqi's speech last time, and suddenly showed an interested look: "What did Heqi say?" ”

Yao Rong looked at Ye Heqi and motioned for Ye Heqi to come by himself.

Ye Heqi was a little nervous, she quietly clenched her fists to cheer herself up, and repeated the words of the morning.

"It's shocking that this opinion came from the mouth of a little girl of yours." Not to mention Zhou Qihuai, even Chen Wan was full of praise for these words.

"Is that a powerful insight?" Ye Heqi was praised a little confused, and this kind of similar remarks were too common in later generations.

Wait, hereafter?

Ye Heqi seemed to understand a little.

What she thought was ordinary was precious to many people in this era.

Seeing that Ye Heqi was puzzled, Chen Wan explained in more detail: "Very powerful, although this remark still relies on men's evaluation of women, and looks for personal value from men's evaluation of women, but for the vast majority of women who are in deep marital difficulties, these words can be called deafening." ”

Speaking of this, Chen Wan also became interested: "Your name is Heqi, right, if you are interested, you can expand this argument into an article and publish it in the "Women's Daily" at that time." The scale of our "Women's Daily" is not large, and the manuscript fee is the same as that of other big newspapers outside. ”

Ye Heqi was flattered, was she asked by the editor-in-chief of the newspaper to write in person: "But I don't know how to write articles......

Chen Wan encouraged: "Don't rush it, I'm looking forward to receiving your contributions in the future." ”

In order not to disturb the normal work of the newspaper, they stayed in the newspaper office until the end of the lunch break, and Yao Rong and Ye Heqi asked to leave with their resignation.

Before leaving, Yao Rong walked up to Zhou Qihuai and asked, "Miss Zhou, can I buy a few copies of "Women's Daily" with you?" I've learned a lot of words with my daughter during this time, and I want to read this newspaper you run. ”

"Mrs. Ye, wait a minute." Zhou Qihuai showed a look of surprise on his face, turned around and trotted briskly, ran all the way back to his office, took out a stack of newspapers, and gasped, "These are all newspapers from the past." I've got a lot of them, and I'll give them to you. ”

Yao Rong held the heavy pile of newspapers, more like he was holding a kindness passed on by others: "You are open to do business, how can I take your newspaper for free." ”

At Yao Rong's insistence, Zhou Qihuai still accepted the money.

"Mother, why do you suddenly want to buy "Women's Daily"?" After getting into the rickshaw, Ye Heqi asked Yao Rong in a low voice.

Yao Rong touched these newspapers and showed a look of being moved: "In the past month, I have been reading and reading with you, and my horizons have been much broader than before. ”

"After hearing what you said today, and meeting Miss Zhou and Editor-in-Chief Chen at the newspaper office, I realized that in this world, women are not all trapped in the house, and women can live freely."

"So I want to read more Women's Daily and learn more from Miss Zhou and Editor-in-Chief Chen."

After this trip to the newspaper, she was touched and then properly awakened, which is very reasonable, right?

Ye Heqi is very supportive of this.

Yao Rong was a little worried: "It's just that I don't know enough words, I don't know if I can read it after I buy it." ”

"What's this?" Ye Heqi waved his hand and took care of the matter, "I'll accompany you to see it then, if you don't know any words, you just have to ask me." It just so happens that we have a different way of reading and writing. ”

From this day on, Yao Rong and Ye Heqi's task in the afternoon became to read "Women's Daily".

At first, Yao Rong read stumblingly, and there were many words that he didn't recognize. After Ye Heqi explained to her, she circled these words and wrote them down.

However, for most of the month, Yao Rong didn't need Ye Heqi to accompany him, and he could read the entire article fluently.

At most, there are a few words I don't know very well.

After a month, Yao Rong basically learned most of the common words.

Even Ye Heqi wrote an article with Yao Rong's encouragement.

It's just that she feels that she hasn't polished it well enough, so she plans to change it a few more times and send it to the newspaper.

It's the day to go out again, Yao Rong and Ye Heqi happily went out, and when they were eating in the teahouse, they saw several girls wearing dark blue tops with black skirt suits and black canvas bags around their waists walking in with a smile.

On the cloth bag, the words "Peking Girls' Middle School" are embroidered with red needles and threads.

Ye Heqi's gaze was unconsciously attracted by the words, and his face showed a faint look of envy.

That's the middle school she once wanted to attend.

If Ye Fuguang had agreed to her going outside to study, perhaps she would have become a student at Peking Girls' High School by now.

The sound of several girls talking kept coming into Ye Heqi's ears.

"Mr. Jin has assigned several articles, have you started to write?"

"I've just finished writing one. The exam is coming up in a few days, and I think my grades in Chinese studies will definitely not be good this time. ”

"Teacher Liang's requirements are so strict, I just took a nap in his class, and he was arrested and punished for copying the formula fifty times."

"Let's go buy some books in a moment, I heard that Mr. Jin Fengdrunk's new book is about to be published."

No matter what the era, there is always a bit of similarity in the troubles of students. Ye He said in his heart.

"Heqi, drink some tea." Yao Rong's voice recalled Ye Heqi's thoughts.

Ye Heqi picked up the teacup, and as soon as he took a sip, he heard Yao Rong say, "After eating, let's go to Beiping Girls' Middle School for a visit." ”

Ye Heqi looked up in amazement, his mood was a little complicated, but after being silent for a few seconds, he still nodded and said "Okay".

Speaking of which, she has never seen the appearance of Peking Girls' High School. Even if you can't study there, it's good to take a look and break your thoughts.

I thought that her mother would go downstairs and call the rickshaw and let the rickshaw send them over, but what Ye Heqi didn't expect was that her mother walked directly in front of those girls and talked to them softly, and a girl with a double ponytail looked at her and smiled at her and nodded.

Ye Heqi was stunned and hurriedly nodded in greeting.

When Yao Rong came back, Ye Heqi grabbed Yao Rong and asked, "Mother, what did you just tell them?" ”

"I asked them if they could allow non-students to visit the Peking Girls' High School, which is not far from here. Not only did they show me the way, but they also told me that the school usually does not allow outsiders to enter, but recently held a student essay exhibition, and outsiders can enter the school after registering. ”

After a brief summary, Yao Rong asked Ye Heqi if he was full, and seeing Ye Heqi nodding, the two of them checked out and left, and walked for about two quarters of an hour according to the path pointed out by the girls, and the school was close at hand.

Peking Girls' High School is a religious school, the architectural style of the school has some Catholic elements, this is the day when the school is open, many outsiders walk around the campus, and occasionally there will be female students in blue shirts holding books to meet them, smiling and full of infinite energy.

Ye Heqi discovered for the first time that receiving education was such a difficult and enviable thing.

"Mother, let's go back." After only half of the visit, Ye Heqi didn't want to look any further, "I already know what Beiping Girls' Middle School looks like." Enough is enough. ”

Yao Rong didn't insist, followed Ye Heqi's words, and left the school with her.

After leaving the school, the two didn't have the heart to go any further. Seeing that it was not too early, the two of them beckoned a rickshaw on the side of the road to return to Yefu.

Before getting off the rickshaw, Yao Rong saw the housekeeper guarding the door.

"Madame, Mademoiselle, you are back." The butler stepped forward, his face was very solemn, "The old lady has lost her temper, and I told you to go to her house to see her as soon as you get home." ”

Ye Heqi subconsciously looked at Yao Rong, Yao Rong held Ye Heqi's hand, and his expression remained unchanged: "Why did the old lady lose her temper?" ”

The housekeeper glanced at Yao Rong and Ye Heqi, and stopped talking, but he still didn't tell him for a long time: "Madam and Miss will know when they get to the old lady." ”

Ye Heqi's grip on Yao Rong instantly increased, and he had a very bad premonition in his heart, only to feel that the housekeeper's attitude was full of impending a storm.

"It's okay, my mother is here, you can hide behind your mother for a while." Yao Rong said in a volume that only Ye Heqi could hear, "Outside, Heqi is protecting his mother; In Yefu, the mother protects the crane perch. ”

Ye Heqi's floating heart instantly fell back to the same place.

The sky was much darker, and Mrs. Ye's room was not lit, Yao Rong could only see Mrs. Ye sitting at the top, Mrs. Ye sitting a little below, and Mama Wang was standing beside the two of them.

Before Yao Rong could salute Old Madam Ye, he heard Old Madam Ye say coldly: "Kneel down for me!" ”：，，
