When Sheng Chuxi and Erya go back, the peasant woman has just returned home.
"Teacher Chu Xi, didn't you go to hope primary school? Why did you come back so soon? Erya, why are you here? Didn't I ask you to work in the field? Why did you come back with teacher Chu Xi? Was it lazy?"
Seeing that the peasant woman was going to swear, Sheng Chuxi hurriedly pulled Erya behind her.
"Elder sister, don't blame Erya. I brought Erya here. I came back from there in advance to tell you something... Do you have time now?"
The peasant woman said with a smile, "if you have time, you have time. Teacher Chu Xi, why are you polite to me? Just say what you have to say."
Shengchuxi: "elder sister, why don't you let Erya go to school?"
The peasant woman's smile paused.
She rubbed her rough hands and said slowly, "teacher Chu Xi, you have seen the situation in our family... It's too poor to have extra money for Erya to go to school."
"But Erya's younger brother goes to school in other places, doesn't he?" Sheng Chu Xi looked at her quietly. "They are all your children. Why should they be treated differently?"
The farmer's wife stood on her horse and said, "how can a man and a woman be the same? A man can only go to school. What can a woman do? It's good for such a big child to know a few words. It's good to help the family work, find a man to marry later, and bring a bride price to her brother to marry a daughter-in-law. It's a good life. What's the use of reading? If you read too much, you'll never want to come back if you go out."
Looking at the natural expression on that face, Sheng Chuxi felt deeply powerless.
In these remote mountainous areas, the idea of son preference has been deeply rooted. She has no way to change their ideas in a short time
Sheng Chu Xi took a deep breath and said, "elder sister, how much money can you get for marrying someone? But reading is different. If you let Erya study, when you grow up, you can make more money than the bride price. Like me, I made nearly 100000 yuan after filming for more than a month."
These movie salaries are not much in the actor circle, but for the peasant women who have not seen much of the world, they are already astronomical.
Sheng Chuxi continued: "Even if Erya can't make so much money, she can still make money in other industries. Moreover, the state attaches great importance to education. Now it is compulsory education, and tuition fees are free from primary school to junior high school. As long as you nod your head and agree to let Erya go to school, I will bear all the other incidental expenses. As long as Erya wants to study, I will unconditionally supply her no matter whether she is an undergraduate, a master or a doctor."
The peasant woman wavered.
Seeing this, Sheng Chuxi made persistent efforts.
"Elder sister, I know you love children too. In that case, just consider the wishes of the children, OK? Erya, tell your mother, do you like reading?"
She gave Erya a gentle push.
Erya was stunned for a moment and understood her intention.
He walked up to the peasant woman and said, "Mom, I really like reading and going to school! I want to get out of this mountain, see the outside world and become as powerful as sister Xiaoxi... Mom, please, let me go to school!"
As she spoke, Erya's eyes became red and her voice choked.
