Chapter 150
Fu Peixian did not continue to argue, she quietly followed Wang Zhiwu to Wang’s home, after dinner, and then sent back by him. Mrs. Fu and Master Fu saw her return before she was relieved, Mrs. Fu enthusiastically asked: “Go to your aunt’s house, did your aunt say anything?”
Fu Peixian sat on the sofa and said, “Auntie asked how you are, and also said that she would like to invite you to the opera, saying that there is a famous actor coming from the north, and that the opera will start in a couple of days.”
Mrs. Fu shook her head, “Your aunt loves this news stuff, I don’t like to listen to it. In the future, you should also remember, after a woman is married, she can’t always go out, it’s not decent to show off.”
Fu Peixian was quiet and didn’t say anything. She had long ago learned not to argue with her parents, but also not to obey them, the best way is not to say anything, do not agree to anything.
Fortunately, the little brother’s house suddenly came crying, Mrs. Fu hurriedly got up and shouted to the nanny: “Chunxiu, Chunxiu! Young master is crying, where are you!”
Chunxiu hurriedly ran over from the kitchen and ran into her little brother’s bedroom before Mrs. Fu, picking him up and coaxing him. At this time, the little sister next door also cried, Mrs. Fu is difficult to distinguish between the two bodies, was noisy headache, exclaimed: “Aigoo, my ears are going to be deaf!” She scared the little brother, “you cry again, tomorrow, I will send you to Mr., ask Mr. take the board to beat you hard!”
Fu Peixian ran to coax her little sister, Wu Ma, who was helping in the kitchen, was already in the house, holding her little sister and coaxing her, saying, “Third Miss, don’t cry, tomorrow morning I’ll give you a pigtail and a flower, okay?”
Seeing Fu Peixian come in, the little sister’s face still with teardrops twisted over, sobbing and said: “Sister, is there someone outside to arrest people again?”
Fu Peixian’s heart then twinged.
The Fu family has some money, but there are only some fields and houses, although the family uses a few subordinates, but they are all old servants, outsiders look at the family is big, in fact, they are all dead money, can not move.
About a year ago, the gendarmerie came to the door to borrow money, Fu Laozi gave, the results of the second day they came to borrow, Fu Laozi slightly put off two sentences, said that yesterday to give over, the gendarmes on the fuss, immediately to Fu Laozi arrested.
Mrs. Fu hurriedly opened the money box and poured all the money in the box to them, and then begged them to release Master Fu.
At that time, my little brother and sister were hidden behind the coal stacks in the woodshed, and the adults told them to keep quiet, so they didn’t even dare to cry.
When she came back, the little brother and sister were both scared sick, and had a doctor drink medicine for a month before they got well. Since then, the two of them always have nightmares, and when they wake up at night, they have to cry for a long time.
Fu Peixian held her little sister and put her to sleep before she came out.
Mrs. Fu leaned on the sofa, drinking hot water and swallowing pills.
Fu Peixian walked over and hugged her mother, saying, “Mom, we can’t take it anymore! How much longer will we have to go on like this?”
This chaotic world needed someone to put an end to it!
Mrs. Fu had just been given a headache from the mess, and now she was out of energy. She patted Fu Peixian’s arm and said, “Xianxian, you students don’t understand. We are the little people, and the big things in this world have to be done by the grown-ups. No matter how many little people there are, they are no more powerful than a finger of the big people. Alas, you will understand when the day comes.”
Mrs. Fu called Chunxiu to help her into the house to rest.
Fu Peixian sat on the sofa in deep thought.
She had had this conversation with her parents no less than a hundred times. Sometimes, it was as if she could understand her parents’ words and just didn’t want to resign herself to her fate!
And sometimes, she would have the feeling of punching a sheep flower. Like today, when she talked with Wang Zhiwu, she felt that way.
She knew what he meant, and he knew what she meant. But neither of them wanted to understand the other, so they were at a standstill.
Once again, she hesitated.
Is it really right to marry your cousin ……
The next day, Fu Peixian went to school in a yellow bus, and when she saw the gendarmerie on the road, the drivers of the yellow buses were scared to speed up. Those gendarmes stared at the schoolgirls on the yellow buses with ill will, and the lustful intent in their gaze made Fu Peixian’s body hairy.
Foreigners are bad people, but their own country’s gendarmerie are not good people either.
The yellow bus stopped at the school gate, Fu Peixian got off the bus and walked inside the school, saw the building where the principal’s office was surrounded by many students looking at the bulletin board, everyone seemed to be very excited.
Fu Peixian accelerated footsteps over, did not walk to hear someone shouting: “What is the school doing! Hiring Japanese teachers, letting Japanese people come to school, and building a Japanese building!”
“We also have students studying in Japan, this is a normal academic exchange.”
“Teach from the barbarians to control the barbarians, we are learning from others, others are also learning from us.”
Fu Peixian hurriedly squeezed in, a new announcement was posted on the notice board, it said that the school decided to build a three-story building with sixteen classrooms, will hire four Japanese teachers to teach classes, and will also accept about sixty young Japanese students, hope that everyone will be united in love and study together.
Fu Peixian frowned as she pushed her way out of the crowd and headed for the little red building, and as she walked to the side of the creek, she saw the new trees that had only been planted on both sides of the river, which were rumored to be the Japanese cherry blossom trees.
She quickened her pace with mixed feelings, feeling that it was really a problem that had not been solved, but another one had been added to it.
The principal was on good terms with the Japanese, and there were rumors among the students for a long time, but the teachers and professors at the school trusted the principal, and although the students had their grievances, no one felt that the principal was a traitor.
Fu Peixian used to think that the principal was just a long-sleeved man who did not offend anyone on either side, and that the Japanese were so powerful that he could do nothing about it.
But no matter what, building a Japanese building, hiring Japanese teachers, and accepting Japanese students is more excessive than planting cherry blossom trees.
Fu Peixian was in an irritable mood and didn’t know how to face the image of the principal in her mind. She couldn’t wait to get to the little red building, want to talk to the students, tell them, see what can be done to stop this matter.
The Little Red Building was already buzzing with activity. Fu Peixian immediately pushed open the door to join in when she heard the people inside, but after pushing the door open, the situation inside was different from what she had imagined.
Xiao Yang stood on a stool, holding up a piece of paper and said: “The ways that have been determined now are: one, pancake fruit; two, repairing tires; three, blowing up balloons; four, making iced fruit skewers! Everyone think again if there are any others!”
Fu Peixian was dumbfounded, she hadn’t been here for one night, yet it seemed like she had missed a week of school. She immediately went over and asked fellow student Xiao Yang, “Fellow student Xiao Yang, what are you guys doing?”
Yang Yuyan jumped down from her stool and said in surprise when she saw her, “Fellow Fu, you’re finally here! We’re brainstorming and thinking of small, easy-to-learn and teach crafts to start a literacy class. You quickly help us think together!”
Fu Peixian looked at the time, it was only 8:30 in the morning, I didn’t realize that the students had already thought of so much! She said with admiration, “Little Yang, you really make me ashamed! Have you been up all night? That’s how many ideas you’ve come up with!”
Yang Yuyan lived in the school now, and she could go to class on the next floor, which made her seem like a much more diligent person. She accepted Fu Peixian’s classmate’s compliment without blushing and said politely, “I just did a tiny bit of work.”
A few female classmates beside her immediately said, “Little Ms. Yang shouldn’t be too modest, she came up with two ideas, the pancake fruit and the ice candy gourd were both her ideas.”
Yang Yuyan was proudly modest: “No, no, no, ah ah ah, you guys are saying I’m blushing. Everyone keep thinking, think of a few more and we’ll be able to attract more people to literacy classes!”
Although the literacy class thing was said to be good for everyone, the fact was that after it was launched, it was frequently cold. The poor and indigent all had to earn money to support their families, so how could they have the leisure time to become literate?
Even if the standard of the literacy class has been lowered again and again, it has been reduced to teaching only 50 words, and learning to add and subtract within ten is considered to be clearing illiteracy, and there are also medals issued by the government.
Even so, no one was willing to learn.
University students have also more than once to promote literacy classes, every time, the effort is not pleasing to the eye, over time, literacy classes have become a piece of drudgery, the students have to do, but not to get back too much result.
In the past, some students suggested that they could give something to those who came to study, such as a piece of cloth, or half a bucket of grain, five eggs, and so on.
This would indeed absorb a lot of “students,” as if it were effective.
But no organization can afford to throw money into it for nothing.
Yang Yuyan’s approach is the best!
First of all, the skills can be taught over and over again. After this group of students learns and graduates, the next group of students can continue to learn these skills when they come.
Secondly, these skills are very simple and cheap, or tools, or materials, do not have to spend too much. Repairing a tire is the most technical skill, but the tools only need to be purchased once and can be used forever, and can be passed on to children and grandchildren.
In the end, not only can we open literacy classes, but we can also teach people the skill of mending tires, which is killing two birds with one stone.
Fu Peixian was distracted by the warm atmosphere and worked all day without thinking about the Japanese students and Japanese teachers.
By evening, night had fallen and most of the students had already left. She was helping to clean up the living room that had been messed up by everyone at the Little Red House when she suddenly heard the surprised voice of student Xiao Yang: “You’re here!”
She turned around and saw an oily-headed young man in a suit, carrying many gift bags in his hands, his face full of light, his eyes shining as he stood in front of the door, opening his hands to catch Xiao Yang, and the two of them embraced warmly, their deep love need not be expressed.
Fu Peixian suddenly felt a little shy.
Yang Yucan pulled Fu Peixian away and explained to her in a low voice, “That’s Mr. Su, my sister’s fiancé.”
Fu Peixian said, “I’ve heard of that. They are so close.”
Yang Yucchan: “They are in free love, and after obtaining my mother’s consent, they were engaged to be married.”
Free love.
Fu Peixian suddenly knew what she had given up.
She would never have the chance to fall in love freely, and when she married her cousin, she would lose her love forever.
Fu Peixian walked to the entrance of the school, but saw Wang Zhiwu waiting at the entrance of the school, he was wearing a military uniform, the gendarmes didn’t dare to come and find trouble.
“Cousin.” She hurriedly walked over, a little surprised, the disappointment from earlier seemed to have disappeared a little. “You came to pick me up?”
Wang Zhiwu smiled and said, “I borrowed the German study book, when I went to your house to give it to you, I came to pick you up after hearing my aunt say that you haven’t come back yet, why are you so late today? Let’s go home quickly, aunt and uncle are worried about you.”
Fu Peixian was eager to tell him what everyone did at school today, and what a great idea little student Yang had come up with.
Wang Zhiwu, however, didn’t want to hear it and interrupted her saying, “Let’s talk about it at home, go, go, go.”
The yellow bus rattled along, and her fiery heart gradually calmed down.
There didn’t seem to be anything wrong.
They were sitting side by side in the car, hands still held together.
They were also an unmarried couple with a strong bond and a supportive family.
But comparing Xiao Yang’s classmate and her fiancé that she had just seen, Fu Peixian realized that she had never been that passionately expressive with her cousin.
