Feng Lang got out of the way and covered a book with a sheet on the bed where he was sitting. He picked it up and looked at it and said, "It's strange that you can still see this kind of book in this place."
After speaking, he handed the book to Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu took it and looked at it, and was surprised to find that this book was actually a primary school textbook in the Mainland, but it seemed a bit old, and the time written on it was still several years ago.
"Why are there textbooks from the mainland here? Are there schools in Longshui?"
Ye Qiu touched his chin.
Yao Zhenfei shook his head and said: "There is no school in Longshui, and people here don't go to school. At most, they learn how to speak in the old elementary schools that are similar to private schools, and most of them learn how to speak Mandarin. Because in Longshui, being able to speak Mandarin is a symbol of respectability.¡±
Ye Qiu heard this and said: "This is like the ancient times. In the small countries around China, the upper class people were proud of being able to speak Chinese fluently. I didn't expect that such a thing still exists here."
Yao Zhenfei smiled bitterly and said: "There is no way. In fact, you don't have to be a fool to see that Longshui will integrate with the outside world sooner or later. It is impossible for the higher authorities to leave this place alone."
Ye Qiu nodded without saying anything. He opened the textbook and took a few glances. He found that he had made a lot of notes on it. His heart moved. He got up and came to the bed. He pulled back the sheets and discovered what was inside. It is actually covered with books, and they are all textbooks.
What surprised Ye Qiu even more was that there were several English textbooks inside. Of course, what caught Ye Qiu's attention even more were calligraphy practice books, all of which were actually used to learn Chinese.
It was surprising that there were textbooks for various subjects here, but now there were many Chinese calligraphy practice books, which made Ye Qiu feel shocked.
People in Longshui can indeed learn how to speak Mandarin, but it is too rare to learn how to write Hanzi.
He took the calligraphy practice books and opened them and looked at them. He found that they were full of crooked calligraphy. At a glance, he knew that they should be written by the little girl. There were also deep scratches on them. It seemed that there were only a few practice books. The typebook has been used several times. The paper is yellowed and has some age. I'm afraid it has been used for several years.
Ye Qiu and Feng Lang immediately looked at each other.
Teaching children to read and write is not really a big deal, but this is Longshui, and the general education level is not high. It can even be said that the vast majority are illiterate. Basically, the people here do not pay attention to the education of children at all, and they can be regarded as free-range. .
And under such circumstances, a small family with a miserable life still has the ability and leisure to teach their children to read and write, and even learn English.
This is not something ordinary people can think of and do.
At this moment, Ye Qiu suddenly became very curious about Liang Lezhen. What kind of woman would not forget to provide universal education for her children in such a difficult environment.
Having the ability to do so, Liang Lezhen must have received education before, and judging from Juan¡¯s beautiful handwriting and her annotations left on those junior high school textbooks, Liang Lezhen¡¯s education level must not be too low.
¡°There is no way to receive such a high level of education in Longshui, unless it is in the mainland.
Seeing this, Yehu couldn't help but guess: "Liang Lezhen may have some background. To be able to have such a high level of education, it is very likely that she was a member of one of those big tribes."
Some large tribes in Miao territory are far-sighted and would choose to send their children to study.
Yao Zhenfei said: "But I have never heard of any tribe with the surname Liang. This kind of surname is very rare in Miao territory. Basically, they all fled from the mainland and settled here."
Ye Qiu said at this time: "No, I think you have forgotten a guess."
Feng Lang asked: "What guess?"
"She was abducted here. It's on the border and far away from the big cities. There are so many dangers everywhere, and even the patrols can't come. It's not surprising that this happened. Just like Wang Jing and the others, even if they didn't When they encounter Red Scorpion, they are also likely to encounter other people and be abducted here."
"And I felt a little strange just now. Her dressing style is also a little different from the ones here. On the contrary, it is somewhat similar to people from the mainland."
When Ye Qiu said this, a sound of bowls and chopsticks falling suddenly came from outside.
Several people turned around and saw Liang Lezhen standing at the door, covering her mouth and saying nothing, with red eyes.
Ye Qiu sighed, it seemed that he had guessed correctly.?, said: "Sister, I'm sorry, we didn't mean to read these books."
Liang Lezhen moved her mouth and said, "It doesn't matter."
Ye Qiu said: "Sister, I'm presumptuous, was my guess just now correct?"
Liang Lezhen nodded and wanted to walk in. Li Li, who was next to her, hurriedly helped her and moved her to the bedside, and then asked her to sit down.
"Thank you, little girl." Liang Lezhen thanked you.
Li Li groaned, then looked at her body wrapped in a wide robe, and said, "Sister, how did you tell?"
Liang Lezhen smiled slightly and said: "I have raised my daughter for so many years, and I know girls very well. I could tell it when you approached me before."
Li Li said with some embarrassment: "Sister, I didn't mean to lie to you."
Liang Lezhen shook her head: "It doesn't matter."
After saying that, he picked up a textbook and touched the yellowed paper on it, with memories in his eyes.
"I actually asked my husband to have these books brought in from outside. It cost a lot of money at the time. Many people didn't understand what I wanted these books for. Even my husband didn't understand. But I think you should understand, guests from the mainland."
Liang Lezhen said softly.
Ye Qiu nodded and said seriously: "A great man I admire once said that no matter how hard it is, you can't hurt your children, and no matter how poor you are, you can't give up education."
Liang Lezhen excitedly grabbed Ye Qiu's hand when she heard this, and choked with sobs: "Yes, this is what a great man said, no matter how hard it is, you can't hurt your children After so many years, many people don't understand, but reading is a matter of It¡¯s a very common thing in the mainland.¡±
She finally couldn't help but burst into tears. Even when facing her husband Liang Lezhen, she never lost her composure and revealed her true feelings completely. However, facing the most familiar strangers like Ye Qiu, she suddenly let go of all the grievances she had felt for so many years. come out.
Ye Qiu patted her on the back and understood why she was so rude. As a mother, she has to insist on teaching her children to read for so many years when so many people don't understand. The hardships involved are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. .
Not to mention that in a place like Longshui, the idea of ??favoring boys over girls still exists. Only she knows how difficult it is for a woman to support all this. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
