Liu Hui Zhen stood on the podium, at this moment, all forty-plus people in the literacy class were staring at Liu Hui Zhen with eager eyes.
Liu Hui Zhen: "Everyone is a neighbor in the same alley, I believe you are all familiar with my situation!
My name is Liu Hui Zhen, I'm a widow, I have two three-year-old daughters, and we're barely making ends meet. A while ago, Director Wang brought a baby to our courtyard!
I fell in love with this child at first sight, so I decided to adopt him!
And I named him Shen Yuan Chao!
But I don't have a job, and I have no money at home. To raise this child, I need to work. Thankfully, Director Wang helped me get a job at the relief station. At the relief station, I met Aunt Guo!
She told me that as long as I know how to read, even if we don't have a job for now, we will be given priority when new job positions open up. So, I decided to study hard!
To learn how to read. I was originally from the countryside, but in order to adopt Yuan Chao, I now have a Beijing household registration!
So, I want to support my Yuan Chao, I have to work hard. With this mindset, I've been working hard to learn how to read....."
After Liu Hui Zhen shared her experience with learning to read, many people in the class showed respect!
It has to be said, Liu Hui Zhen is really kind-hearted. Her life is already in shambles, but she still couldn't bear to see human suffering, so she went to adopt that little baby!
And she works so hard for the child!
"Comrade Liu Hui Zhen's spirit of learning and her excellent moral qualities are worthy of everyone's study!
Many classmates actually came to this class earlier than Comrade Liu Hui Zhen, but they haven't learned to read as much as her. I think maybe you haven't realized the importance of knowing how to read!
Alright, let Comrade Liu Hui Zhen read a few short stories for everyone. Everyone will understand the importance of learning to read!"
Below, Sun Xiu Ju listened to Liu Hui Zhen's words and kept wiping away her tears. She thought, if she had adopted Shen Yuan Chao back then, maybe her life would be different now!
After all, Shen Yuan Chao's arrival changed Liu Hui Zhen's fate!
Thinking about this, Sun Xiu Ju became even more determined to divorce Yi Zhong Hai.
Liu Hui Zhen picked up the newspaper and started to read: "The story I'm going to tell you now is about a farmer named Shi in Yangguan village, south of Sichuan. Before liberation, he made a living by farming!
One day, Shi was working in the fields when the headman suddenly came over and gave him a letter, asking him to deliver it to the district government! He had to leave immediately!
When Shi heard that it was an urgent letter, he left immediately.
Halfway there, he met a relative who was in business. This relative traveled far and wide and knew how to read. He heard that the headman asked Shi to deliver an urgent letter, and immediately sensed something was wrong. There were so many people around the headman, why would he ask an ordinary farmer to deliver the letter?
So, he took the letter and opened it. Inside it read: 'The letter carrier is my conscript for this year. My conscription task has been completed!'
When Shi heard this, he was shocked. This was a forced recruitment! Shi knew that he couldn't go back, so he asked someone to go home and tell them that he was away for two months. After the founding of the country, he joined the new country's literacy class!
Because he said, "Not knowing how to read is like being blind. You'll be tricked into forced recruitment, you'll hand yourself over."
"Hahaha!"
The students in the literacy class all burst into laughter!
Liu Hui Zhen also couldn't help but laugh. This story, such a story, was actually a true story!
The teacher in the literacy class saw that everyone didn't take it seriously: "If everyone thinks that forced recruitment doesn't happen anymore, then I'll change the story. Liu Hui Zhen, you can read this one again!"
Liu Hui Zhen: "Last year, a county held a conference to celebrate the March 8th Women's Day. The women of Dongyan village went to the county together to attend the meeting. These women had never been out of town before. They felt everything was interesting when they got to the county.
Suddenly, they saw a man carrying a bag of twists. Several women quickly asked him where he bought the twists!
The man pointed casually and said the general direction!
So, several women followed that direction. Not long after, they came to a place surrounded by reed mats!
They thought this was where the twists were sold, so they went in. As a result, there was a man squatting inside! "Big guys, what are you doing?!"
They retreated and looked at the two big characters written on the wall, but they couldn't read them. Those two characters were 'men's restroom'!"
Everyone fell silent.
The teacher of the literacy class said: "See, if you guys don't have any culture, you'll encounter difficulties in everyday life! You might not even be able to buy things or use the restroom!
Everyone, do you want to learn from Comrade Liu Hui Zhen and study hard?"
"Yes!"
In an instant, all the students in the literacy class were motivated to learn because of Liu Hui Zhen. And all this change started with a little baby named Shen Yuan Chao!
While Liu Hui Zhen was carrying out a grand literacy movement, Shen You Chu and Shen You Tian, He Yu Shui, and the children of the courtyard were not idle!
They all started on important tasks like catching sparrows, catching rats, and catching bedbugs!
He Yu Shui pushed Shen Yuan Chao, along with Shen You Chu and Shen You Tian, walking through the courtyard alley,
"Flies and mosquitoes spread diseases, rats and sparrows steal food. Six hundred million people are fighting together (hmm), we must wipe them out....."
The four children were full of vigor, vowing to exterminate all rats!
Many neighbors in the alley saw Shen Yuan Chao in the little bamboo cart and were amazed: "This child, is he the child adopted by Widow Liu?
Oh my, he's so handsome, I've never seen a child so handsome!"
"Who says he isn't! Oh, this child looks about the same size as my Li Kui Yong! Look at his spirit, he's more spirited than my Li Kui Yong!
He's even bigger than Kui Yong!"
"It's a shame, such a good child, how could anyone be willing to abandon him at their doorstep?"
Li Kui Yong was held in the arms of a woman with short, ear-length hair. At this moment, he was looking enviously at Shen Yuan Chao's little bamboo cart!
Shen Yuan Chao looked at Li Kui Yong, and was shocked. Li Kui Yong?
Isn't this Zhong Yue Min's sidekick in "Blood Romance"?
Could it be that besides the courtyard, Zhengyangmen Under the Sun, there's also Blood Romance?
This world seems much larger than he thought!
Next to Li Kui Yong there was another child, dressed in tattered clothes. He looked at Shen Yuan Chao with envy. Shen Yuan Chao didn't know that this child would later become the famous "Knife King," Xiaohun Dan, in Beijing!
He was also the soul figure who sparked the 2,000-person martial arts fight in Beijing!
"Yu Shui, I brought some classmates with me. They just researched a lot of ways to catch rats. We have a way that's the fastest way to catch a lot of rats!"
A girl with pigtails ran over.
The little girl looked at Shen Yuan Chao, her eyes lit up: "Yu Shui, is this the Yuan Chao brother you mentioned? He's so cute!"
"Smack~"
After finishing her sentence, the girl kissed Shen Yuan Chao.
Shen Yuan Chao was speechless. After transmigrating here, he had lost count of how many people had kissed him!
"Hai Tang, did you really find a way to catch rats? I want to earn money with Chu Chu and Tian Tian to buy milk candy for Yuan Chao brother. His milk powder is almost gone!"
Shen Yuan Chao was shocked. Yu Hai Tang?
This skinny little girl in front of him is Yu Hai Tang?
Her temper seems like a little chili pepper, but looking at her now, she doesn't seem like the future "Plant Flower" at all!
Yu Hai Tang knows how to catch rats?
What kind of method could she have?
Although Shen Yuan Chao is a transmigrator, if you really asked him to come up with a good way to catch rats, he might not be able to think of one. After all, he's never caught any!
"It's very simple. We just need to find a way to catch a rat first. Then, we stuff its butt with soybeans, then use needle and thread to sew its butt shut, and put it back in the rat's nest. This rat will go crazy and bite the other rats to death, that way we can catch a whole nest of rats at once!"
Shen Yuan Chao: "..."
He had heard that the children in Beijing were mischievous, but this was the first time he had heard of such mischief!
You guys are girls, at least! Don't you find it bloody?
He Yu Shui hesitated: "This... isn't it a little scary?"
