Chapter 311: No matter how poor, don't be poor in education; no matter how bitter, don't be bitter to the children

"Ooooh—"

On the boundless sea level, seagulls were flying happily in the sky.

From time to time, they dropped white poop, which landed on the sea surface, and unknown fish leaped up, a sparkling bright color flashing by.

"Old Lu, look, just now a sea fish ate bird poop."

"What? What kind of joke are you making?"

"Really, if you don't believe me, look, right there—"

Lu Xiu Bai leaned over to look, and then the meat in his lunch box was snatched away by his teammate without him noticing!

He was angry for a moment, but it was just for a moment.

Hmph, he's not stupid; he had long seen through his teammate's purpose.

But this meat really didn't taste good; it was dry and tough, not as good as the braised pork his brother-in-law made.

Sigh, it's all the brother-in-law's fault for having such good cooking skills; he's spoiled his mouth.

"Hey, Old Lu, aren't you angry?"

"What's there to be angry about? If you want to eat it, take it all; it doesn't taste good anyway."

"No way, when did your mouth get so picky?"

"I won't tell you."

Lu Xiu Bai, in a good mood, had the leisure to joke with his teammate, but soon, the "woo-woo" warning sound rang out, and they all threw down their lunch boxes, fully armed and ready for combat status...

Here they come again; the little devils just love to play sneak attacks!

This point is the same as decades ago; if it weren't for our country loving peace, we would have nuked them again!

Sure enough, they are annoying things, the kind of bad luck that Chinese people hate from the bottom of their bones!

The provinces outside the Sea Island would enter autumn and become cool after National Day, but the Sea Island wouldn't cool down or get cold.

In other words, people living on the Sea Island have never seen snow in their entire lives.

Children don't know what snow is, or what snow looks like.

The military wives in the Jiashuyuan came from all over the country; they had all seen snow, experienced snowy days, and knew what it was like when quilts were hard as boards and feet were too frozen to sleep.

There was also washing clothes in icy rivers in winter, how cold the rice-washing water was, and how uncomfortable it was when hands and ears were frostbitten.

The Sea Island is different; the four seasons are warm, and there is no winter at all.

Even if it's cold, it won't freeze people to death; just cover with one more quilt.

Like this year, the military wives in the Jiashuyuan who had been married for less than half a year were pregnant one after another!

The military wives who had already given birth started sharing their experience, completely "crossing the river by feeling the stones"!

At the same time, the Jiashuyuan announced good news: the military region had built a Red Education Garden, primary and middle schools, and was recruiting teachers, welcoming military wives to sign up enthusiastically.

There were signs of this last year, and there was a lot of gossip after the year started this year.

It was just that it was delayed by one thing after another, interrupting the progress.

Now that everything was settled, the military region leaders had their subordinates start implementing it.

The Red Education Garden, primary and middle schools didn't charge tuition; it was all funded by a portion of the funds from the betel nut business run by the military region and the Sea Island people to help with education.

So, as long as they were children of the Sea Island and military personnel, they could attend this Red Education Garden and primary and middle schools!

In addition, the seafood processing plant and fruit cannery on the Sea Island also provided funding.

The school provided lunch, and the food in the canteen was completely free for employees and students.

Good news followed one after another; wasn't this policy "sending charcoal in the snow"?

Ye Qinghong had been waiting for this opportunity and had been preparing for more than half a year, so she signed up immediately!

Other military wives who were bold followed suit and signed up; those who were timid or hadn't studied much could only look on with envy and didn't have the courage to sign up...

Regardless, this matter set off a wave in the Jiashuyuan.

The loyalty and sense of belonging of the officers to the troops and the country would only be stronger!

The people were also the same, inquiring one after another about how to sign their children up for school.

For ordinary people, reading and recognizing characters is a top-tier sign...

Reading doesn't necessarily change everyone's destiny, but reading can enlighten, make people know shame, understand advancement and retreat, and understand reason!

Shen Man heard this news and also felt that her children had caught up with a good era.

Outside the Sea Island, going to school requires bearing tuition and miscellaneous fees.

The Sea Island implementing free education is already taking the lead in reform; one can imagine that Section Commander Duan and the others were under huge pressure.

No matter how poor, don't be poor in education; no matter how bitter, don't be bitter to the children.

The rulers on the Sea Island all have hearts that want the country to be good and want the next generation to be better!

Chinese parents value education from the bottom of their bones, so they were very concerned about the recruitment of teachers.

Ye Qinghong had prepared for a long time and was finally admitted to the Red Education Garden, becoming a preschool teacher.

Although the treatment was seven yuan less than the allowance for primary and middle school teachers, she was generally very satisfied.

In the past, she could only rely on her man to work hard to support the family; now she also had a decent job to help the family!

As long as the couple is of one mind, there's no problem in living a prosperous life!

While the military wives with good relationships congratulated Ye Qinghong, it was inevitable that they felt a bit lost.

A small number of military wives felt unbalanced, thinking that if they had signed up themselves, maybe they could have taken the preschool teacher position!

But the matter had reached this point, and the recruitment was full.

The next recruitment would have to wait two years; this year was enough.

Including Ye Qinghong, six military wives in the Jiashuyuan were recruited, so she wasn't the target of public criticism.

Plus, she usually did sewing and mending for people without charging, and her relationship network was quite good, so it didn't attract too much attention.

There was one person who attracted discussion, and that was Li Jiaojiao!

She was originally the pillar of the cultural troupe, a female student who was impeccable in dancing; why did she stop dancing and come to be a Chinese teacher?

Li Jiaojiao was three months pregnant and a bit showing. Being smart, she put down her face and took the opportunity to pour out her bitterness—

"Everyone, look at my feet."

As she spoke, she took off her shoes, revealing her twisted and deformed feet.

"Hiss."

The military wives gasped; my goodness, how did Li Jiaojiao's feet become deformed!

"This, how painful must this be."

A young military wife's eyes were about to pee; she had been a bit jealous of Li Jiaojiao for being so beautiful and having a decent job, and had complaints about her coming to snatch the teacher position, but now only pity remained.

"Li Jiaojiao, have you seen a doctor? How can you dance like this?"

Other military wives also echoed, turning their heads away unbearably; if it were them, they really couldn't endure it at all.

"Thank you for your concern. I've gotten used to this pain. Actually, you might not know, but for us girls who study dance, from the moment we start practicing dance, we have to..."

Li Jiaojiao took the opportunity to sell misery, appropriately showing weakness, and dispelling the hostility of the military wives toward her.

Sure enough, after hearing Li Jiaojiao talk about the hardships of studying dance, many military wives gave up the idea of letting their own daughters study dance in the future.

Don't believe it?

Look at Li Jiaojiao's feet, old injuries; that's enough.

"I'm pregnant now, and I want to give birth to the child well, so I quit the cultural troupe.

Besides my dance specialty, my cultural studies are just barely passable."

"I just want to find a job to make a living, to be able to give my child good conditions. Everyone has children; you will understand me, right?"

Li Jiaojiao's heartfelt words dispelled the concerns and dissatisfaction of most military wives and also saved her from a lot of trouble. ===== CHAPTER 312 =====
