Xu Qing was speechless.

It's not that she doesn't want to refute.

But she also realized two practical problems.

Nowadays, the concept of favoring boys over girls is widespread in rural areas.

Even Xu's mother, who dotes on her, is very patriarchal in nature. It can be seen from Xu's mother's attitude towards her eldest sister, Da Ya and Er Ya, that she is just a special case.

The concept of favoring boys over girls cannot be completely eradicated even in later generations.

In addition to favoring boys over girls, there is another thing: poverty!

When people in later generations have money, even if they are girls, their parents will send them to school. But now, if they barely have enough to eat and have no money, if you ask them to spend money to send their sons to school, they can barely do it, but if they send their daughters to school, then... …

Xu Qing sighed in her heart.

This era is not easy for everyone, especially for girls.

Hongqi Village is a truly poor village.

After a year of hard work, he can barely fill his stomach.

China is very big, and the regions are different, so the rich and the poor are also different. The gap between the rich and the poor is very big between the east and the west, between the south and the north, between the mountains and outside the mountains.

In wealthy areas, people eat meat every now and then. In poor areas in remote mountains, a family does not even have a pair of decent pants. This is not an exaggeration at all, it is just a fact.

Xu Qing did not refute the third sister-in-law's words.

She decided to discuss it with Xu's mother and Xu's father at the dinner table tomorrow.

As a descendant, she knew that Xu Jianshe had gone to school and knew some words, but Da Ya and Er Ya were not literate. In the era of advanced information in later generations, being illiterate was such a terrible thing. .

……

that night.

Xu Qing was lying on a simple bed made of spliced ​​wooden boards, planning the future.

Lu Ming, who had passed out, was finally discovered by Lu Yan and Lu Yan, who were reluctant to give up. Then they sent him back in a hurry.

Accountant Lu returned home from the wheat field. When he heard that his son had been sent home in a coma, he quickly walked to the room regardless of his leadership style.

Lu Ming's face was bruised and purple.

The person who attacks is very serious.

Take a look at your pants.

Good guy.

Accountant Lu almost fainted.

Seeing the miserable state between Lu Ming's legs, Shi Hua's expression changed. He couldn't help but think of the kick he received from Xu Qing, and he started to feel a dull pain.

"Who did it?"

Accountant Lu looked at Shi Hua and Lu Yan with a fierce expression.

Shi Hua took a step back in fear.

Lu Yan quickly shook her head and said, "I don't know. When we found my brother, he had already passed out."

Accountant Lu had a stern look on his face and growled: "What are you still doing? Hurry up and get the bullock cart over. I'm going to send your brother to the commune hospital overnight. No, I'm afraid the commune hospital can't cure him. Go to the county hospital, quickly, quickly." Click here."

Lu Yan asked: "Dad, you sent your brother to the hospital, what about Shi Hua's teacher position?"

Accountant Lu glared fiercely, furious.

At this time, my stupid daughter was actually thinking about someone else. Didn't she see that her brother's life was about to be gone?

In anger, Accountant Lu raised his hand and slapped Lu Yan, shouting: "Go quickly!"

Lu Yan was whipped and took two or three steps back. Her hair was disheveled and she was completely confused.

Seeing Accountant Lu getting angry, Shi Hua turned pale with fright and hurriedly said in a trembling voice: "Lu, Lu, Accountant Lu, calm down, calm down, I'm going, I'm going."

……

The next day, early in the morning.

It was rare that the adults of the old Xu family did not go to work.

Because there is a big thing to discuss today.

A school has been set up in the village.

Do you want to send your children to school?

There are three people in Lao Xu's family who are in the first grade, namely Daya, Erya, and Xu Jianshe.

All the adults were sitting and standing in the courtyard. The atmosphere was silent, and no one took the initiative to speak.

crunch.

The courtyard door opened.

Xu Qing got up early and came back from herding cattle.

The legs of his trousers were wet with dew.

"Little sister, where have you been?"

Seeing Xu Qing's wet appearance, the third sister-in-law asked curiously.

Others also looked over.

They didn't know that Xu Qing was still herding cattle, but she didn't get any work points.

Xu Qing would definitely not continue doing this stupid thing of working for free.

She hasn't had a chance to talk to the captain yet. When she becomes a teacher, even the captain will smile when he sees her, because the captain has a grandson who is old enough to go to school.

The captain's son and daughter-in-law died unexpectedly, so this grandson is the captain's lifeblood. As long as she becomes a teacher, even if it is for her grandson, the captain will be polite when he sees her.

"It's okay. I woke up early and went out for a walk to exercise."

Xu Qing casually found an excuse to excuse herself, then walked to the water tank, picked up the gourd spoon, scooped out a spoonful of water, and drank it.

This era also has its benefits.

The sky is blue and the water is clear.

no pollution.

The water in the water tank is mountain spring water. It is clear and sweet, but it will not be drunk in future generations.

I drank a lot of water.

Xu Qing raised her hand to wipe her mouth, her eyes swept over the faces of Xu's mother and others one by one, and said, "Has the discussion reached a conclusion?"

The crowd was silent.

Seeing everyone's silence, Xu Qing said: "The Prime Minister once said, study for the rise of China. I don't know if you have heard of another sentence. Knowledge changes destiny, whether it is for the construction of the country or to change our own poverty." The current situation is that we all have to go to school and study. Only by going to school can we hope to get out of the mountains and out of Hongqi Village..."

Xu Qing kept talking about the benefits of studying. However, the third sister-in-law's words made her choke. "Little sister, if you are so good at studying, why haven't I seen you leave our Hongqi Village? Why haven't I seen you enter?" Do you want to be a worker in the city?"

this moment.

Xu Qing actually had murderous intentions.

She really wanted to tear the third sister-in-law's mouth to pieces.

Taking a breath, Xu Qing said patiently: "Sister-in-law, Sanmao will be old enough to go to school in two years. Don't you want him to go to school like the children in the city? I'm not just saying that knowledge changes destiny. Speaking of which, look at Accountant Lu in our village. If he can become an accountant, doesn’t it mean that he is the only one in our village who can do accounting? If Sanmao goes to school and becomes literate in the future, maybe he can also be an accountant? By then, Who in our village dares to look down on you, Third Sister-in-law? Third Sister-in-law, it will be even more honorable for you to return to your parents’ home..."

The third sister-in-law's expression changed slightly.

She unknowingly fell into the dream weaved by Xu Qing, imagining that Sanmao became an accountant, and she became a respected accountant's mother, with people fawning over her wherever she went.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but grin.

Showing a silly smile.

"Mom, I'm hungry. I want to eat eggs." Sanmao's voice brought Sister-in-law back to reality from her dream.

The third sister-in-law stopped her smile, put Sanmao on her lap, and gave her a kiss, "Son, it's up to you whether Mom can be proud and proud in the village from now on."

After saying that, she coughed and said: "My little sister is right, adults can't be miserable for their children. They should be sent to school. However, I still say that it is virtue for a woman not to be talented. Girls should help at home. Isn't it nice to do housework? You don't have to go to school, and it's a waste of money if you go."

Got it.

The third sister-in-law only said half of it.
