Chapter 34 34. Stepping Stone

Yan Shoucheng did not tell Su Yao what he did, and Su Yao did not specifically inquire about what he did outside.

The two closed the door and lived their own lives in peace, until the tenth day of the first lunar month, when they walked out of their own house.

Early in the morning, Su Yao watched Yan Shoucheng leave and then entered his own space.

There has been no maintenance for nearly a month, and the corn in the space has reached harvest time.

In the cornfield that was a head taller than Su Yao, two corn stalks were hung halfway up the waist. The bright yellow corn kernels stretched out the corn leaves, beckoning Su Yao to harvest them quickly.

It has to be said that the water and soil in this space are good. For the same corn seeds, the corn outside is shriveled and dry, but the corn in the space is juicy and plump.

When sowing seeds before, Su Yao had already discovered that the more he planted, the more land there would be. In this era when having food is a mother, Su Yao has the lifeblood.

Su Yao didn't wait too long. Seeing that the time was right, he started working.

According to the order of harvesting corn, Su Yao broke off the corn from the corn stalk. After tearing off the excess leaves, Su Yao hung the corn up.

When Su Yao planted the corn in the two fields, he didn't even use up half the bag of corn seeds. The harvested corn was covered with three two-meter-high wooden poles.

After Su Yao finished working on several pieces of land in the space, he suddenly realized that four days had passed and it was the Lantern Festival in the blink of an eye.

After leaving the space, Su Yao walked around the village. Unexpectedly, every household had hung up lanterns.

Unlike in later generations, the streets and alleys were all red. In this era, each house's lanterns were made of paper, in red, blue, green, and purple, in various colors. Coupled with the dim candlelight, Su Yao always had a feeling of goosebumps.

Pimple feeling.

At any rate, it was a lively time in the first month of the year, so Su Yao didn't dampen everyone's interest and started doing it when he got home.

There was no red paper, so the red cloth that was not used up during the wedding was used to cover the crooked frame. It looked like the same thing.

There is a meeting in the village on the night of the 15th, and the young and old in the village will follow the meeting procession and walk around the village.

Su Yao followed him at the door of his house.

Compared with later generations, where firecrackers were prohibited and people stayed at home during the festival, this was the first time for Su Yao to experience the excitement of the Lantern Festival.

After that night, Su Yao became more understanding of the village and treated the villagers a lot more politely.

The first lunar month had not yet passed, and Yan Fusheng, who had not seen him in person for a long time, suddenly came to the door of Su Yao's house.

When Su Yao saw Yan Fusheng, he held back the tune he was humming: "What do you want from me?"

Yan Fusheng asked with a hint of impatience: "The loudspeaker calls you to a meeting, why don't you go?"

Su Yao raised his eyebrows and replied: "There are so many people in the village, but you didn't call anyone, you just asked me to go alone. Who knows what might happen."

Yan Fusheng was angry in his heart, but thinking of Yan Shoucheng's warning before leaving, he forced himself to calm down and explained to Su Yao: "In the first month of the year, a meeting was held in the town and they said that there were no conditions before and many people could not afford to study.

I don’t know a few books or words. In order to keep up with the development of the times and eliminate illiteracy, we require every village to organize literacy classes.”

"I know a few words, but I'm far from good enough to teach others. Since you and Xia Zhiqing are the most educated in the village, I was wondering if we could come up with a charter for this matter."

Su Yao did not respond immediately.

Literacy class, if Su Yao remembers it correctly, this event is an important part of the heroine's journey to fortune in the original book.

Su Yao rummaged through his memory, and it took him a while to remember the causes and consequences of this incident in the original book.

In the original book, the literacy class started around this time, and the original person was still living in the compound at that time.

It's different from Yan Fusheng's visit this time to invite someone. It turned out that he got the news from Yan Fusheng and Wang Hongying's chat when they were digging into a corner.

Before Yan Fusheng could mention it himself, he volunteered to recommend him during dinner the next day.

At that time, Xia Yulu had been reborn. She wanted to leave a good impression on the villagers, and she was also determined to win the literacy class.

Knowing that Yan Fusheng would be biased towards his original self, Xia Yulu also started to make plans early, brainwashing the young people in the village and instilling her own goodness.

But no matter how good the popularity is, it cannot compare to the relationship.

Yuan Shen and Xia Yulu were furious at the discussion, and they were just missing a fuse to start a fight.

The two argued for an hour, and finally Yan Fusheng made the decision and left the matter to the original person.

The original body was very proud, thinking that he had defeated Xia Yulu in a round, and kept showing off in front of Xia Yulu, but he didn't know that he had unknowingly become a thorn in Xia Yulu's side, and what happened this time was destined to become a

Xia Yulu’s stepping stone.

Many people in the village have been illiterate all their lives. Their ancestors have been illiterate and unable to read for generations, and they have all survived. When it is my turn, I don't think that not reading is anything special.

It wasn't until the literacy class started that I would rush into the classroom for a brief moment, then turn around and leave.

The literacy class has been running for a week, but only a few people have participated, and most of them came because they wanted to see the original person make a fool of themselves.

The literacy class was unsuccessful. Yan Fusheng went to town for a meeting and was caught as a model and criticized a lot.

After Yan Fusheng returned to the village, he put the pressure on his original self.

In desperation, I thought of using food to encourage everyone.

As soon as they heard that they could share food while attending classes, the villagers became more enthusiastic. From an eighty-year-old man with blurred vision, to a baby boy who couldn't even speak, to a bachelor who regarded his dog as his family, they all gathered together.

participated in literacy classes.

The original person looked complacent at her results, but within a week, her dream was shattered.

Those who participated in the literacy class turned around and wanted to exchange grains for themselves, but they never thought that exchanging grains in class was just a gimmick. There were only two liters of rice in total, and only a few grains were distributed to each person.

Without incentives, the villagers no longer participated in literacy classes, and they were even more dissatisfied with the original person. Under the provocation of caring people, they went to the gate of the compound to collect debts from Yan Fusheng.

Yan Fusheng was arrogant all his life, thinking that he was an official and leading a whole village. He never expected that he would be so embarrassed when he got old.

Fortunately, Xia Yulu stepped forward and made suggestions for Yan Fusheng, convincing Yan Fusheng to open a warehouse to store grain and settle Su Yao's old debts.

It also provides a way to earn work points by attending classes, encouraging villagers to participate without spending too much on food.

A comparison of the behaviors of Yuan Shen and Xia Yulu showed how superior they were. Yuan Shen knew that he had become a stepping stone and was so ashamed that he didn't go out for a whole month.

"Have you considered?"

Yan Fusheng interrupted Su Yao's contemplation.

Su Yao suddenly woke up and refused without hesitation: "I'm not interested. In terms of academic qualifications, Xia Yulu is higher than me. In terms of work, Xia Yulu is more reliable than me. You can just go to her directly."
