Teacher Qin is really not just talking.
In the next few days, I would follow him to the homes of those girls every day.
There is only one purpose, and that is to persuade those parents to allow their girls to go to school.
Those parents probably have never seen such a stubborn person. Some people are persuaded every day, or they may be tortured by Teacher Qin, the king of torture.
In Teacher Qin, I saw amazing perseverance.
To be honest, I didn't understand it at first.
After all, the children from Zhaojiagou go to school and don't need to pay tuition. Teacher Qin gets nothing.
However, he still insisted on something and was unwilling to give up no matter what.
Eighteen families, after five or six days, only eight families were left that had not been "conquered" by Teacher Qin.
At first, I felt a little bored, but gradually, I actually fell in love with it. Even in the next few days, Teacher Qin didn't need me to lead the way, so I would still follow him.
Watching Teacher Qin persuade one family after another, and seeing new students in the school every day, my mood also improved.
Teacher Qin told me that this is the sense of accomplishment.
After all, I was in it too.
In the village, there were more complaints about Teacher Qin.
"Teacher Qin, if you ask me, he just has nothing to do. Mr. Li never said that our children must go to school before!"
"That's right, let's forget about the boy dolls. Why should the girl dolls go to school? Can't they still live without being literate?"
Come and try it quickly. 】
"Hey, I'm really annoyed. How about we go to the clan leader and ask him to speak out?"
The remaining parents, under Zhao Daniu's instigation, went to find the clan leader together.
After hearing about their intention, the clan leader also agreed to talk to Teacher Qin.
On this day, when Teacher Qin and I were about to continue mobilizing the parents, we saw the patriarch walking towards us.
Our Zhaojiagou clan leader is also the village chief. He is highly respected in Zhaojiagou. Everyone who meets him must be respectful and do not dare to make any mistakes.
"Teacher Qin, where are you going?" the clan leader said with a smile.
Teacher Qin hurriedly walked up to him, with a smile on his face, and briefly stated his purpose.
Before Teacher Qin could finish speaking, the clan leader nodded slightly, interrupted, and then expressed his thoughts: "Actually, I know what you said. I came here this time just to talk to you about this matter. ." Teacher Qin frowned, but soon relaxed his brows and said, "Clan leader, what do you mean?"
"I think, don't waste this time. What they said is right. It's good for boys to go to school, but forget about girls. Tell me, what's the use of girls going to school? They I can also help with some work at home.”
If it were before, I would have nodded repeatedly when I heard such words, thinking that the patriarch was right.
But now, when I hear such words again, I feel a little uncomfortable.
What happened to the girl?
Can't girls go to school?
Doesn’t the patriarch know that in the outside world, many girls can make a lot of money and do many great things?
Of course.
I also heard this from Teacher Qin.
I don’t know how many times I have listened to what Teacher Qin said to those parents, and I can already memorize it by heart.
Teacher Qin seemed a little disappointed when he heard the clan leader's words.
The first time he heard such words was actually from me.
At that time, he was not angry with me, but he just felt that the situation in Zhaojiagou was not good. This was the concept and thought from top to bottom, and it has not been easy to change a person's mind since ancient times. matter.
Fortunately for children, through long-term education, new ideas can be planted in them.
But the elderly and adults are different. Their thoughts and concepts have long been ingrained and were not formed in a day. It is extremely difficult to change their thoughts.
"Patriarch, we people from Zhaojiagou cannot stay in Zhaojiagou forever. The world is very big, and Zhaojiagou is really too small. When they grow up a little, I think I will find a way to send them to Zhaojiagou." They go out and take exams. I am planning to go out in the next few days to see if I can solve the problem of the Zhaojiagou children's school status and the school's teaching qualifications..."
Hearing these words, the patriarch's face suddenly turned ugly.
He stared at Teacher Qin and suddenly asked: "Do you think the outside world is good?"
Teacher Qin was a little surprised. He looked at the clan leader and seemed to have thought of something.
"Anyway, stop messing around. Those girls don't come to the school!"
After saying this, the clan leader walked away angrily.
I raised my head and looked at Teacher Qin, and whispered: "Teacher Qin, why don't you forget it?"
Teacher Qin shook his head with a smile, and then asked me: "Chengcai, do you think the teacher did something wrong?" "Of course not! Girls should also go to school, and we children should also go out and see! There is nothing wrong with this. !” I blurted out.
In this case, if it were in the past, I would definitely not be able to say it. Maybe this is what Teacher Qin often said, the power of education.
When Teacher Qin heard what I said, he behaved very well. He laughed and said, "Teacher is very happy that you think so. Since you also said that we are doing the right thing, why should we do it because of other people's words?" Just give up?"
I whispered: "But, that's the patriarch!"
"The patriarch has his own ideas. He has been in Zhaojiagou all his life and has reached this age. Naturally, he cannot accept new things." Teacher Qin explained to me as he walked forward, "He seems to I don’t like the outside very much, and I don’t really hope that the children of Zhaojiagou will go out, but this is wrong.”
"ah?"
"Since the old patriarch has never seen the outside world, how can he definitely say that the outside world is not good?" Teacher Qin said.
"Yes! Just like something we haven't eaten before, we can't say it must not be delicious!" I said.
"Good boy, now you can draw inferences from one instance to other cases, haha!" Teacher Qin laughed.
It can be seen that he is in a good mood now.
"Xiao Chengcai, you have to remember that everyone is born equal, and no one should be determined what they will do in the future." Teacher Qin said as he walked, "You are with me these days. As I walked down, what was the most common thing I heard?"
I thought for a while and said, "Uncle Daniu and the others always say that girls don't need to be literate. When they grow up, they should become wives and give birth to babies."
"Yeah, do you think that's right?"
"wrong?"
"Yes, that's not right. It's not that you can't say that this kind of life is bad, but it's your Uncle Danniu who should say it. It should be Xiao Cuicui's decision. She likes this kind of life and can live like this. If she doesn't like it, she should have something to do. What do you think about the right to choose?" Teacher Qin asked.
I nodded slightly, feeling an indescribable feeling in my heart, but now I was very motivated.
"Teacher Qin."
"Um?"
"You said...the patriarch doesn't want us to go out. Is he also worried that if too many people go out, Zhaojiagou will be gone?" I asked.
Teacher Qin did not answer this question, but lowered his head and glanced at me, his eyes suddenly darkened.
