Siheyuan: Returning from studying abroad, with extraordinary understanding

Chapter 306 The Conference Ends

After Long Jinhua came down, Xu Fugui came up and the same process followed.

The conflicts between the Xu family and the Yi family and the Jia family were resolved one by one as several people came up.

After talking about it, several families thought at the same time that each of them should contribute some money to the wedding banquet.

Therefore, the banquet was jointly funded by the Yi family, Xu family, Liu family, Yan family, He family, and Jia family.

Lin Changqing did not get involved and just let them discuss and handle it.

Finally, major conflicts come to the surface, while minor conflicts are resolved privately.

Soon, the conflict in the courtyard was resolved.

Lin Changqing finally stood up and talked about his plan:

"Now that everyone's conflicts have been resolved, let's start solving the difficulties faced by the residents of our courtyard houses."

"There are several families in need in our courtyard, and we will help them if we can."

"Here's what I think. Let's set up a study group in our courtyard, and let everyone show their abilities and learn from each other. After learning, we can also earn money to supplement the family income."

"At the same time, everyone has made up their minds to study and improve their cultural level. In the evening, we will hold a literacy class in our courtyard and let Teacher Yan, Damao, Guangqi and others teach them how to recognize words."

"People have a higher level of education and are more literate. Firstly, they are less likely to be deceived, and secondly, it is easier to find a job."

"There are several poor families in our courtyard. They have laborers but they are illiterate. No one wants them to work. But if you can read, everyone will be eager to hire you."

"I didn't ask for donations. I just want you to be self-reliant. You can't rely on others. Donations can help temporarily, but not forever."

"If there is any emergency and you need money urgently, please tell everyone. I think anyone in our courtyard who is capable will definitely help."

"I promise here that if you find my family, they will definitely help you."

"Changqing is right!" Li Tieniu from the poor Li family spoke first, "Although I, Li Tieniu, am in financial difficulty, I don't expect donations from everyone. It's not easy for everyone."

"I just want to be self-reliant. Now, Changqing said he wants to start a literacy class. I fully agree! After I learn to read, I will definitely be able to find a good job. Then, my family will not have any difficulties."

"My family too!"

"And my house!"

The remaining few families in need also stood up and said something similar to Li Tieniu: they don’t want alms, they also have dignity, and they want to change their families through their own efforts!

Then, Lin Changqing's proposal was unanimously agreed by everyone.

"Changqing, what's the difference between a study session and a literacy class?"

"Yeah, I don't quite understand it either. I feel the same way."

"Yeah, I think so too."

Several middle-aged women expressed their doubts.

So does everyone else.

Most of the residents of the Siheyuan are illiterate, so their ability to understand is limited.

"Study groups can be understood as interest groups. Study groups organize you to learn skills. For example, some people know how to embroider, some know how to make clothes, and some know how to make shoes. The study group will record these things."

"When you start learning, let's agree on a time and teach together. Of course, we are all from the same courtyard, so it is very convenient to agree on a time."

"But, once you learn it, no one else will learn it. Wouldn't that be a waste? We can teach others!"

"This is where the study session comes in. As we all know, there are many enemy agents in the current environment. If strangers come to our courtyard to study, it's easy for something to go wrong."

"It will be much more convenient for the study group to communicate with the outside world. We can contact the Military Control Commission and ask them to arrange for people to study. This will be much safer."

"More importantly, we are now more formal and can help more people. We can all contribute to the national army."

"The character recognition class teaches everyone how to recognize characters. The classes are held at the same time, but the study sessions are not held at the same time."

"One is about learning to read, and the other is about learning other abilities. They are different."

So this is ah!

After Lin Changqing's explanation, everyone understood.

Seeing that it was almost time to go to work, Lin Changqing immediately ended the meeting and decided to discuss the specific matters in detail when he returned in the evening.

Then, everyone dispersed, but those who left were either going to work or to school.

There was also a group of middle-aged women who stayed behind.

Lin Changqing was also kept by them.

"Changqing, how do we do this learning meeting? I can embroider and teach you."

Long Jinhua was the first to express her doubts. She understood Lin Changqing's explanation just now and felt that this previous study session seemed to have nothing to do with her embroidery teaching.

"Grandma Long, you don't have to worry about the study club. If you want to teach them embroidery, then teach them."

"The purpose of learning embroidery is to make money. If we want to make money, we need to take jobs. The best way is to go to the Military Control Commission to take jobs."

"Then you can use the name of the study group to take on the job, which will be more convincing. Don't worry about these, I will take care of it."

"Well, when the time comes, just tell me what work you need, and I will make sure it's done beautifully."

Long Jinhua was no longer confused and left with a smile.

Lin Changqing solved the aunts' problems and went back to the house.

He wanted to work out the alphabetical spelling so that they would learn to read faster.

In the morning, Lin Changqing put out the steamed buns and gave them to his parents and sister. Lin Changqing made up an excuse and convinced his parents.

They no longer pursued the origin of steamed buns.

A general meeting of all staff was held right after the meal. During the meeting, Lin Changqing used his mental power to check his parents' bodies and found that their ailments had been cleared up.

As soon as she entered the door, Lin Wanting ran over and grabbed Lin Changqing's hand.

"Brother, brother, let's practice martial arts, let's go practice martial arts!"

Lin Changqing reached out and picked up his sister: "Okay! Let's go practice martial arts. Oh, and call mom to practice too."

After hearing her son's words, Wang Caixia also thought that practicing martial arts was good, so she jokingly said:

"Wait a minute, Tingting has to teach mother!"

Lin Wanting immediately clapped her hands happily:

"Okay, okay! Mom, I'm really good! I'll teach you later!"

The three of them came to the middle courtyard together.

"Changqing, where are you going?"

Seeing Lin Changqing and the other two coming out again, the aunties thought they were going out again.

"Nowhere! Changqing wants to teach me and Tingting martial arts!"

"Martial arts practice? Like yesterday?"
