But at this moment, they do not know that perhaps one day a surprise is about to come...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the production team’s courtyard office, the Old Captain, Uncle Zhang, and accountant Xiao Shi Tou were following the usual regulations of previous years and distributing this batch of hunt spoils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After washing up, Zhang Guoqing returned and entered the room, intending to bid farewell to return to his post.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Old Captain waved his hand, \"Sit for a moment, I have a question for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain, I’ll leave first then.\" Seeing this, Xiao Shi Tou quickly stood up, \"Xiao Wu, eat before you go. Your share has been calculated, remember to take it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Old Captain laughed and grabbed Xiao Shi Tou, \"Why are you rushing? I haven’t spoken any secrets with this kid. His share usually goes to his parents, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Guoqing gave a thumbs up and laughed, \"You know me, Third Grandpa.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a smile on his face, the Old Captain glanced at him, \"Stop playing dumb with me. Tell us what’s been happening out there recently? I heard from the educated youths that they’ve stopped classes outside?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Guoqing pondered for a moment, avoiding the question, and asked about something else, \"Third Grandpa, how are the educated youths in our village?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re doing well! They were a bit delicate when they first arrived, but they found ways to learn. After all, they’re cultured people; they learn quickly and get along with the villagers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Guoqing smiled. This was the first batch, he could understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Apart from them, there will be more educated youths coming in the future. You should be prepared.\" What Zhang Guoqing didn’t mention was, in addition to batches of educated youths, there were also reform-through-labor workers being assigned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the time for that hadn’t come, and he couldn’t mention it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Old Captain furrowed his brow. With more people, the food ration per person decreases, and honestly, he wasn’t happy about more outsiders coming, but with the policy set, he couldn’t do anything about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting aside this unknown matter, he asked again, \"Have they really stopped classes outside?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Guoqing shook his head, \"This matter isn’t clear right now, but as common people, we still need to learn some knowledge. Even if we don’t talk about getting admitted to technical secondary schools or universities, once the city recruits workers, those with education will always have an advantage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Old Captain looked at him angrily. This kid speaks half-concealed and half-revealed, he’s indeed learned some bad habits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Third Grandpa, I work in the army, and I’m not very familiar with local affairs. But my family, Ping’an, is now only going to school for half a day, and it seems the same is going to happen here too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Old Captain heard this, looked at him, then at the bewildered Uncle Zhang and the thoughtful Xiao Shi Tou, a glint of understanding in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Wu...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as this \"ah\" came out of the Old Captain’s mouth, Zhang Guoqing immediately felt a chill down his spine. Every time this tone appeared, it was never good news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Did you see your nephews and grand-nephews just now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Guoqing nodded embarrassedly, acknowledging that he was indeed now of senior status in the family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nowadays, if school starts holding classes for only half a day, many families in our village won’t send their children to school. If these kids don’t go to school, they’ll waste their lives away...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Originally, we were always far from the township school, but I’ve been holding back on this, ensuring our village’s children don’t become illiterate. In the future, if the city recruits workers, at least the kids have a chance...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve been losing sleep for several nights after hearing from those educated youths that classes are being stopped outside. It’s hard enough to let everyone fill their bellies, but what will these young lads do next?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more the Old Captain spoke, the more dejected he sounded. Leading his clan to better days and helping the children achieve great things was his promise to the previous village head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, it’s tough...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Guoqing was startled by his words and gave him a complicated glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn’t you just ask about those five educated youths? They’re all high school graduates.\" The Old Captain hesitated as he looked at the other two in the room, \"I want our team to establish a school.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle Zhang was so shocked by his grand vision that his pipe dropped to the ground. Building a school is not that easy, it’s not child’s play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Shi Tou immediately looked at Zhang Guoqing. He somewhat guessed the Old Captain’s intention. With a school, besides letting the children study at the doorstep, they save commuting time and can help out at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, my requirements aren’t high, just a primary school will do. If they are truly good students, they can get into middle schools on their own, and by then they would be old enough not to worry about traveling early and late.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Guoqing bluntly asked, \"What does the township say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aside from agreeing to send a principal, the commune has no funds to allocate. I’m not worried about money; the team still has some. As for tables and chairs, we can cut down trees from the mountain, and for the place, we can use the ancestral hall for now. If there are more kids from neighboring teams coming, we’ll plan further...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Guoqing knew he was about to get to the crucial point. So with everything else ready, what’s still needed from him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I was ready to apply to the township after the busy farming season, but now...Can you see if it’s suitable?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With all this build-up, it boils down to this issue. Zhang Guoqing felt quite conflicted. Given the current situation, it might be better to delay a few years, but for families tightening their belts to educate their kids, the sooner the better. After all, with familiar people in the village overseeing, things wouldn’t get too chaotic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why? Is it difficult to say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Guoqing smiled, \"Anyway, the autumn harvest hasn’t fully started yet, let’s observe first. This matter can’t be rushed. Third Grandpa, if you’re really undecided, let everyone discuss and give opinions later. It concerns the next generation, they know it can’t be taken lightly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Old Captain understood his words and nodded silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Guoqing said goodbye to his parents, without stopping by the county town, he drove directly to the provincial city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was arranged at home, from the fruit trees in his backyard to other affairs, he should have felt relieved but instead, he felt heavy-hearted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the Old Captain, for the uncertain future...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four-wheeled vehicles were a rare sight on the highway, making for smooth travel. Unlike driving in winter, this time the speed wasn’t too fast, but in less than two hours, he reached the provincial city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that there was ample time before he had to return to his unit, Zhang Guoqing wasn’t in a hurry to chat idly at the military district. He turned the steering wheel towards the provincial city—where a big nephew of his was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was because he had left the campus too long, or maybe the learning atmosphere was different in various places. Groups of students in the campus were holding newspapers and discussing their opinions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed the louder their voices, the more they were perceived as speaking the truth. Their tone was passionate, their words strong; the summer heat had intensified the emotions of many young people here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made Zhang Guoqing’s head ache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the fuse had been lit, it was only a matter of how big the explosion’s aftermath would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, when he found Xi Zi (Zhang Mingyuan), this guy knew to stay in the dormitory and read, otherwise, he would have to pack him up and drag him back.\u003C\u002Fp>",1400,"2026-06-08T09:26:28.453Z",1,"novelbin.me","2240fbbf077729a4fd966b64685ce3f35a8399f92c39f5f884bb50affc554b8d","rebirth-in-the-50s-the-couple-with-the-hidden-sp-chapter-912","rebirth-in-the-50s-the-couple-with-the-hidden-sp-chapter-911",119,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frebirth-in-the-50s-the-couple-with-the-hidden-sp-cover.jpg"]
