Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

Even if the price of grain in the team is one cent cheaper than that at the grain station, it will not be cost-effective to buy too much over time.

After becoming a private teacher, wages are no longer used for settlement, but work points are used instead. This way, you can buy more food with your own money than if you spent money.

However, this seems not as good as paying wages directly, but it also saves trouble.

After all, even the teachers in the commune cannot avoid it, so can the teachers in the team sit back and relax?

How is that possible? It would be better to calculate it based on work points. At least I get ten work points a day and the work is easy.

If something really happens, the team will not just sit there and do nothing.

In addition, the man in the family can receive 3 yuan every month.

Even though it's just that much money, it's already very good for a private teacher. It's enough to buy daily necessities for a month, such as soap, toothpaste, matches, and salt.

However, private teachers had to participate in the distribution of production team profits and eat the average food ration of the production team population.

It is equivalent to that the man who is your own teacher is hired by the team, not belonging to anyone else.

Moreover, during the busy farming season, even on Saturday afternoons or Sundays, we had to go to the production team to work, and we could not avoid these farm chores. Once we avoided them, the problem could not be solved with just a few words.

Either you lose your job, or you may be criticized and educated at a big meeting.

Not to mention the wheat harvest, spring planting and autumn harvest seasons, when private teachers had to participate in production team labor because their household registration remained unchanged and they still stayed in the village.

This also ensures that even if something happens, as long as it is not a matter of principle, those people will not be able to find fault with them.

The only bad thing is that although the work seems relatively easy, it is not really that easy. Classes are indeed easy, but working in the fields is really not that easy.

At the same time, during this special period, there are requirements not only for teachers, but also for children to go to school.

There are several classes in each grade, and the maximum number of students in a class is 60. You can imagine how great the school’s demand for teachers is!

At the same time, teachers have a very heavy workload. Teachers of this era are never lenient towards children who don’t study. They will beat them or scold them if they want.

Teachers are very responsible for their jobs, not to mention public school teachers, private school teachers, and even substitute teachers.

The only difference is the treatment, and no one can do anything about it at the moment.

Moreover, since school resumed classes, not many children from Huangzhuang Brigade have returned to the classroom to attend school.

It’s not just because some of the children are older, but mainly because over the past year or so, the children’s hearts have become wild.

In addition, parents do not care about their children's education, so whether or not to go to school is entirely voluntary.

In the eyes of their parents, being able to recognize a few words is good enough. There is no need to ask for too much in other aspects. It is better for them to go to the fields and earn work points early. A half-grown child can even earn five or six work points a day.

Even though the work points are not many, it takes a long time, right?

It is not a small amount in a year, and as for the food problem, there is no need to worry about him not being able to earn his share.

Fortunately, the country has regulations regarding children’s education. Otherwise, a school might not be able to afford to hire a teacher because of the number of students it enrolls.

At this time, all children of school age were required to go to school, including the girls in the team.

For girls, it is such an honor to be able to go to school and learn to read and write, but for their parents, it is another story.

"A little girl wants to go to school, why not eat shit?"

"That's right. Girls will belong to other people sooner or later. I have to save the extra money to help my son get married!

Where can I get the money to send my girl to school?"

"Who says it's not?

Even though the authorities have stipulated that children can go to school for free, they still have to buy books, and do they also have to buy paper and pens?

Not to mention that I can share the same set of books with others, can I also share the same set of paper and pens with others?

No matter how you calculate it, it costs money. For those of us who make a living from the land, how can we have extra money to support our children’s education?

It was a lot of hard work to send a boy to school for two years, so how could we have extra money to support a girl?"

"Indeed, there aren't many families in our entire brigade that can send their daughters to school.

Apart from the Guo and Lu families, there are probably only the captain and the accountant in the team. It would be difficult for other families to send their daughters to school?"

"That's because they have the ability anyway. If it were us, we wouldn't stop our children from studying. Isn't this just a helpless solution?"

“Isn’t there no other way?

If there is any way to do this, we as parents should not mistreat our daughters.

After all, isn't it because of lack of money? "

"Mom, they really won't mistreat their daughter?"

"I really don't know. After all, in their eyes, their son is the most important."

"Yeah, why did you forget about this?

I'm afraid that if they really have extra money, they will take care of their son first, and their daughter will definitely come after their son.

Ugh!

Is this daughter really not as good as her son? "

"What are you sighing about at such a young age?

Whether these girls in the team can go to school is up to their parents. Even if others want to help, they can only help for a while, not for a lifetime.

And don't forget that when parents and elders value boys more, sometimes helping girls from such families may not help them but harm them instead. It's better to just let it go!

If you really want to help them, you have to wait until you have the ability to do so, otherwise everything will be in vain."

"I know, mom, I just feel that I am the happiest, being your daughter.

If I was born in a hometown family of a member of the team, I don’t know what my future would be like.”

"No matter what, as long as you are willing to change, you will change sooner or later, but it will take a lot of effort.

I’m afraid that even if you have the intention, you may not be able to stick to the end.

After all, we will encounter many things in life, and no one knows whether we can get through them step by step. In the end, only we know it ourselves. "

"Then there's no other way?"

"Not yet. To change the current situation regarding them is not something that can be done by one person alone. This situation requires everyone to work together to change it.

But it is difficult to do it by yourself. If you want to do something, you have to work hard from now on.

It won’t be too late to help them when you have the ability in the future.
