Gu Yunshuang looked at the textbook in front of her. She was stunned and then she felt surprised.
“Bei Han said that there will be schools in the future? Really?”
Gu Qingyao smiled, “It’s all speculation. No one knows the exact thing. When uncles and the others came back, they also said that it was possible. We’re not sure about things outside but if people are not educated, the society and the nation will not progress as well.
“In the past, people have always admired those with knowledge, and I believe it will be the same in the future. Our current generation will eventually pass. We must be prepared.
“Furthermore, even if we don’t talk about the future, children still need to be literate, right?”
Gu Yunshuang was educated when she was young so she understood that.
“Yes, yes! You are right. I have always wanted for Tingting to go to school, but I have never had the opportunity. Though many people say that education is useless, look at the recruitments in the city. Don’t you still need a degree?”
Gu Qingyao smiled. She knew that her aunt was not an ordinary woman. Her aunt knew far more than them.
“Yes, that’s what I meant. This is a complete set of textbooks for elementary school. You can teach her by yourself since there is nothing to do now. I also have a junior high school…”
Gu Qingyao suddenly stopped.
That’s right, Tingting could study, attend schools in the future, take a college entrance examination and go to university, but… so can Gu Yunshuang!
Aunt was just eighteen when she got married, and she was only twenty-eight now. Gu Qingyao could not remember whether her aunt could take the exam if she was thirty-plus years old, but she could still take the postgraduate exam!
In her previous life, her aunt had never gone to college or a higher education institution. At that time, she lost confidence in many things because of Gu Fangting’s affairs. Although she worked hard to live, her heart was broken after all.
This life was different. In this life, she would protect Gu Fangting from accidents, and her aunt could live here peacefully. She would have a chance to live a new life in the future.
Gu Qingyao looked at Gu Yunshuang and her eyes sparkled, “Aunt, do you want to study together? What if one day… the college entrance examination resumes? Maybe you can take it and then go to university!”
Gu Yunshuang was stunned, “I…”
“That’s right!” Gu Qingyao smiled, with a look of excitement, “I know you might say that you are too old for that. If there is a chance in a few years, why don’t you go? Ting Ting will also be going to university. Aunt, if you have a high degree, you will have a good job and you will meet those intelligent people. Maybe you will find someone who is knowledgeable and educated in the future? Ting Ting will be grown up by then, and you can live your own life, fall in love, get married and have a decent job, right?”
Gu Yunshuang was stunned!
Was it the way of how things worked?
She had never thought of this before.
Seeing Gu Yunshuang’s stunned expression, Gu Qingyao felt that she should guide her aunt well.
“Aunt, listen to me…”
“What are you talking about? It seems exciting.”
Gu Qingyao was preparing to give a speech but was interrupted by Gu Yunshen. He happened to be passing by the yard and he came in to see what they were discussing.
Gu Qingyao glanced at her father, and quickly pulled him over and sat on a stool.
“Dad, I’m telling aunt about a very important thing. You can listen together and persuade my aunt.”
