章節 464: Chapter 433: The Thief Hole, Tomb Robber_1

433

Some of the older folks, after studying for two days, stopped learning; the children, with their playful natures, quit as well. Parents wielded sticks, beating the children, who retorted with quick tongues, "If you can't read, what right do you have to make me study?"

"You don't need to read to get married and have kids!"

Such statements left the adults without a rebuttal, so they pinched their noses and continued their studies, hoping to set an example for the children.

Thanks to Village Chief Qi's vigorous promotion, Qijia Village's literacy campaign was ahead of other villages.

Village Chief Qi even used surplus funds from the village branch to set up rewards. Those with good performance could win prizes such as water bottles, washbasins, toothpaste, and more.

Wang Lei, Zhang Qingshan, and even Huang Jingli grew much closer to the villagers because of their participation in the literacy campaign.
