Rural education office building.

Third-floor office.

"Qiuye, how about you reconsider this time?"

"I've heard it's dangerous out there, you'd better not go!"

During the meal, Feng Nan sat opposite Ran Qiuye and tried to persuade her.

The man in his family has a best friend who is closer than a brother, and he's in Persia right now.

She also kept in touch with Tian Yu, and it is said that they had not seen each other for more than half a year.

Every time I call, I hear bad news from the other end.

Now that Ran Qiuye is going to Persia, she feels she should try to persuade her to stop.

After Feng Nan finished speaking, Deng Rong, who was standing right next to Ran Qiuye, immediately nodded and said, "Sister Qiuye, I think Sister Nan is right."

“I also heard from Dad that they discussed this matter. Many people felt that Tao Ge and you shouldn’t go.”

"Everyone says it's too dangerous!"

Deng Rong spoke softly, then quickly lowered her head after speaking.

Their family tradition forbids talking about family matters outside the home, as it can easily lead to a lot of trouble.

But since this matter involves Ran Qiuye and Yang Xiaotao, she felt it was best to mention it briefly.

After Deng Rong finished speaking, the others around her also offered their words of advice, their eyes full of concern.

Seeing this, Ran Qiuye simply smiled and then calmly said, "Don't worry."

"We'll be gone for three or four days at most, and we'll be spending most of our time on the plane."

"Don't worry, come back immediately after you meet in Persia, nothing will happen!"

Ran Qiuye's confident tone left the others speechless.

But worry still lingered on his face.

Ran Qiuye herself was also uneasy, but the more she felt this way, the more she wanted to go along.

In critical moments, she is also a wall for Yang Xiaotao!

After the meal, Ran Qiuye took Feng Nan and Deng Rong back to the office to explain the work priorities for the period of time.

"Nannan, you are in charge of following up on the local inspection work. Be sure to contact us at any time and report back promptly."

"We also need to communicate with local departments and get their full cooperation."

"If we really encounter a problem that the local authorities can't solve, we can contact the factories in the Ninth Division. They've already spoken to them and they'll help!"

Feng Nan immediately nodded, "I know, I've told the teachers in charge of the team about this, and they all know it."

"That's good!"

Ran Qiuye nodded, then looked at Deng Rong beside her.

"Xiao Rong, go to HR in a bit. The school will be short-staffed next year, so we need to prepare in advance and have HR conduct a thorough investigation..."

"Understood, Sister Qiuye!"

Deng Rong is also a skilled worker; she immediately gets to work after receiving a task.

After all the tasks were assigned, Ran Qiuye picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip. Just then, the phone on the table rang again.

"Hey, Sister Tang!"

"Okay, I'll be right there!"

After hanging up the phone, Ran Qiuye got up and walked outside.

I ran into Cuiping at the door. "Cuiping, my older sister wants to see us. Do you want to come with us?"

Cuiping tossed the documents she was holding onto the table and immediately nodded, "I'll go get a car ready!"

He then ran off in a flash.

Ran Qiuye shook her head helplessly at the documents lying on the table. She went over and put the documents back in place, but her gaze fell on the folder on top.

List of progressive workers and intellectuals!

This was a solution Ran Qiuye came up with after reporting her work to her superiors.

The main problem is that too many primary schools have been built in rural areas, but there are not enough experienced teachers, and there are not enough university and high school teacher training graduates. There is no other way but to find other solutions.

This list of progressive intellectuals is one such method.

We learn about the personnel's situation and performance at work from relevant departments in various regions. As long as there is a recommendation from local personnel, they can be included on this list.

Of course, this is only the first step. Further investigations will be conducted to eliminate those who have falsified information, and those who are confirmed will be included in the final list.

Then, they will be placed under observation at the school for six months.

During the observation period, teachers can enjoy 80% of the teacher's benefits, including salary and welfare.

Six months later, those who perform well can be promoted to full-time and officially become rural teachers.

If a candidate performs poorly within six months, the observation period will be extended to one year.

If it still doesn't work after a year, then go back to where you were and do whatever you were doing before.

She didn't know how this policy would work in other places, but in the rural areas surrounding Beijing alone, hundreds of people had emerged.

This has greatly relieved the educational pressure on rural schools.

It's worth noting that since they introduced the learning subsidy, rural children who are old enough have been sent to school.

There used to be about ten students in a village, but now the number is almost over one hundred.

She didn't know how so many children suddenly appeared.

However, having more children is a step forward for her.

With so many children receiving education, and later taking up positions in revolutionary construction, it means that more machines will be running and more wealth will be created.

Therefore, Ran Qiuye not only did not slow down the pace of school construction, but even accelerated it to increase education in remote areas.

Of course, the support of her husband was indispensable in this process.

If you want money, give it to me.

If they need supplies, they'll provide them.

Everything is for the children!

The number of teachers is also increasing, which is the most important part of school education today, which makes Ran Qiuye feel at ease.

When reporting to my older sister, I feel more confident.

After putting the documents away, Ran Qiuye left the office quickly without lingering.

West Garden.

The eldest sister was sitting with her two older sisters, chatting and laughing, occasionally revealing a touch of nostalgia.

Just then, Tang Mingyue walked in carrying a teacup, and all three of them looked up at her.

"Mingyue, you're not a child anymore, why are you still all alone!"

The one who spoke was an elderly woman with gray hair; she was quite old and spoke very frankly.

Tang Mingyue wasn't embarrassed at all. She directly brought the teacup to her and joked with a smile, "Aunt Liu, if you have this kind of energy, don't waste it on me. Just take better care of your two younger sisters!"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu immediately tilted her head back and flipped over, her gaze fixed on the roof. Then she took Tang Mingyue's hand and gently patted the back of her hand, saying, "Isn't this all your fault?"

"Those two brats learned from you. Let me tell you, if those two brats can't get married, they'll come and keep you company from now on!"

"That would be wonderful! We three sisters will come to visit you together during holidays and festivals!"

"Just don't be angry with me!"

As Aunt Liu was chatting and laughing, another old woman picked up her teacup, took a sip, and then gracefully put it down before looking at Tang Mingyue.

"Mingyue, you don't need to pay attention to her. Why should we women have to find men?" "Men aren't necessarily better than us!"

"Right now, we women must be more independent and self-reliant, to be the engine of revolution, and the pillar of the people!"

The old woman spoke with a strong Shanghai accent, but her expression grew increasingly kind.

"Yes, Aunt Song is absolutely right. Please have some tea; this is a fine tea treasured by the leader!"

Tang Mingyue obediently went to Aunt Song to pour water.

The older woman standing nearby shook her head helplessly, while Aunt Liu snorted coldly, "You make it sound so easy. Let's see how you manage when you're old!"

As he spoke, he picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp. After putting the cup down and wiping his mouth with his hand, he asked, "Um, didn't you say someone else was coming?"

"where?"

Aunt Liu looked around; there was no one else in the room.

Aunt Song scoffed, "Can't you sit down for a bit? What's the rush?"

"What else can I do but go home and be my old grandson!"

"Go away, go away! You shameless thing, you're a disgrace to us women!"

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, the older sister quickly picked up her teacup and said, "I called back then, I reckon they should be here soon."

"Old Liu, be patient. Can't you be a little more mature at your age?"

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you!"

Aunt Liu glanced at Aunt Song, quickly smiled, and then moved her cup forward a little. Seeing this, Tang Mingyue immediately stepped forward to pour tea.

Before the teacup was even full, footsteps could be heard outside.

Then Ran Qiuye and Cuiping walked in together.

"Miss!"

Ran Qiuye didn't expect there were other people in the room, so she called out and stood aside.

The group stood up, and the eldest sister quickly walked to Ran Qiuye's side and said with a smile, "You're here, you're here!"

Then he introduced them to the two women, saying, "This is Comrade Ran Qiuye, and this is Comrade Wang Cuiping."

Then, turning to Ran Qiuye and Cuiping, he said, "Qiuye, Cuiping, you can just call this Aunt Song!"

Upon hearing this, Ran Qiuye and the other woman smiled at the plump old woman with a full head of silver hair, "Aunt Song, hello!"

"Sigh, good, good!"

Aunt Song looked at Ran Qiuye with a kind expression and seemed very satisfied.

"Just call her Aunt Liu!"

"Yes, just call me Aunt Liu!"

Aunt Liu was plump and smiled at Ran Qiuye, but her attention was more focused on Cuiping.

Cuiping also looked over, and their eyes met, giving them a sense of kindred spirits.

"Comrade Xiao Wang, have you fought in wars?"

Cuiping patted the gun case, "Aunt Liu, from the Taihang Detachment!"

"Oh?"

Aunt Liu became interested, "What year was it from?"

"38 years."

The two exchanged questions and answers, and instantly seemed to have found their tribe. Aunt Liu came up to Cuiping and put her arm around her, saying, "Come on, everyone here is cultured. We won't listen to anything here."

"Let's go outside and have a go!"

Cuiping was a little worried when she saw the other person's gray hair, but she still followed him out.

There was nothing she could do; all she could do here was eat snacks and drink tea. Otherwise, she couldn't sit still.

The two left on their own, and the remaining people were not surprised.

"Come, come, sit down, everyone!"

The eldest sister helped everyone sit down, then introduced Ran Qiuye before getting down to business.

"Qiuye, how far has rural education developed now?"

"Big sister, Aunt Song, I can't say for sure how much development will happen right now, because schools are still under construction in many places."

"We have now compiled statistics on 1.1 million schools, and we estimate that the number will reach 1.5 million when we start enrolling students next year!"

As soon as Ran Qiuye finished speaking, her older sister and Aunt Song clapped their hands with satisfaction, and Tang Mingyue exclaimed happily, "So many schools, how many children must there be!"

Ran Qiuye laughed upon hearing this, "There are already 100 million registered now!"

"This is still in some areas where children are too young to enroll in school. Next year, the number may reach 120 million!"

Upon hearing this number, before the eldest sister could speak, Aunt Song spoke first, "I remember, two years ago, the number of primary school students in China was only over 30 million, most of whom were urban residents!"

Looking at the eldest sister, who was also aware of the figure, she nodded and said, "Children from rural areas make up at most a quarter!"

Aunt Song nodded, then looked at Ran Qiuye, "You did a great job, a great job!"

"The number of students has increased tenfold in two years!"

"This is a feat, absolutely a feat!"

Ran Qiuye just smiled and said, "Big sister, Aunt Song, this is what we should do. Besides, a lot of the help comes from the local comrades. Without their support, we wouldn't be where we are today!"

"It's different. Some things can't be done without someone taking the lead!"

"Otherwise, why hasn't it turned out well all these years?"

Aunt Song waved her hand directly, clearly showing that she was very familiar with the previous educational work.

Ran Qiuye remained silent, but she understood in her heart that without the school subsidy, there probably wouldn't be so many students!

Then Aunt Song said, "Qiuye, I'd like to ask, what is the male-to-female ratio among so many students?"

Ran Qiuye looked up at her eldest sister, and only after her sister nodded did she say, "Aunt Song, girls make up about a quarter of the population!"

"A quarter? Only a quarter?"

Aunt Song's smiling face immediately turned serious.

Because in her mind, the male-to-female ratio in the country seemed to be 1:1.05.

There are more men than women, but there are quite a few women too.

The gap shouldn't be this large.

It can only be said that there are fewer girls going to school.

The older sister chimed in, "Even this quarter is from the last two years. If we go back five years, it might not even be a tenth!"

Aunt Song sighed after hearing this, "You're right!"

"These outdated ideas..."

"Ugh!"

Aunt Song sighed and then looked at Ran Qiuye, "Is there any way to get more girls into school?"

Ran Qiuye shook her head. Her family wouldn't let her go to school, so there was really nothing she could do.

At this moment, Tang Mingyue suddenly spoke up, "This matter is very easy to resolve!"

Ran Qiuye immediately pulled her over, "Sister Tang, tell me quickly, how do we solve this?"

All three looked over, and Tang Mingyue smiled and said, "It's very simple, just increase the subsidies for girls' schooling!"

"The school subsidy, a bit more?"

"That's right, boys get one cent a day, and girls get two cents. See if your family is short of that one cent."

Tang Mingyue smiled, and Ran Qiuye's eyes lit up. How could she have forgotten this trick?
