When Erwang said this, Sanwang almost couldn’t hold back his excitement but he pretended to be nonchalant. He also deliberately tempted Xiaowang to look at the car and the frog under the table. He stepped on the frog’s butt with his toes as it started running forward to bite Maisui.
Xiaowang giggled happily.
Lin Lan glanced at Sanwang. This kid was like a loach, trying to burrow in wherever there was excitement. Maybe because he was a year older now, she always felt that this guy was too weak to control his child-like urges and in the end, was just a younger version of his Eldest Brother.
In the evening, Han Qingsong went to discuss things with Han Yongfang. Lin Lan asked the children to read and listen to the radio at home while she went to find Dong Huaihua.
Inspired by the conversation at the dinner table and still thinking about Yanyan and Caihua, she wanted to give a propaganda class to the girls in the village.
There were all kinds of men in the countryside, including those who have personality flaws that led to exhibitionism, voyeurism and obscenity. Some liked to hide behind huts and spy on women going to the toilet and some would abruptly expose their genitals to girls and children on the road. Doing such actions with the intention to scare others classified them as typical perverts.
Those who have been exposed could still be arrested, punished and re-educated. The only problem was that some adults didn’t know that it was possible and children were usually afraid to speak up.
Children, especially girls, were extremely shy and dared not say anything, so she had to instil safety knowledge into them to make sure they learn to protect themselves and report perverts.
Those who made true reports could claim rewards!
Once a pervert was caught, the whole brigade would hold a meeting and use them to train some men to pay attention to their influence and behaviours whilst also alerting girls to protect themselves.
Dong Huaihua thought that the idea was very good. Hence, she was organising and promoting this to specifically target girls, especially those in their teens.
Lin Lan also asked girls such as Yanyan and Caihua, who were usually inactive and whose families did not pay attention to education, to mobilise them to participate.
Dong Huaihua said, “I’ll cover it, don’t worry.”
There are dozens of people not doing well in the village. As long as they are not given work points during meetings, they would not cooperate much.
Especially if women were allowed to come, they would be even more reluctant.
They felt that their daughters would be given away to another man sooner or later, so they would lose money in that regard. If the girl could live, it was already considered a pretty good thing, so it’s natural that they wouldn’t waste an education on the girls.
Yanyan’s family had this mentality.
There were also those who wanted their daughters to work 24 hours a day and felt uncomfortable even if they were idle for the briefest moment, so they naturally refused to let them go to school or attend propaganda lectures. They even thought that the propaganda team was talking nonsense all day long without any shame was the reason for the corrupting morale of the team. They didn’t want their daughters to be in the same room with a bunch of unmarried, young males, let alone let the girls be taken advantage of and pick up bad habits.
The term ‘pick up bad habits’ mainly referred to the girls having ideas, being disobedient and not being diligent in obeying the arrangements of their parents.
