Chapter 105: No. 11 Female Protagonist (End)

  After the third class in the afternoon, Jiang Youtao walked out of the classroom with her books. After just two steps, she was stopped by her colleague, Teacher Wang, who taught Class 1 and 2 of Junior High School.

  "Teacher Jiang, the principal is looking for you and Teacher Gu. Teacher Gu has already gone, and you are the only one missing."

  Jiang Youtao guessed that it must be Director Li who came. She thanked Teacher Wang and went to the principal's office.

  The door of the principal's office was open. Gu Nianwei was standing inside. Director Li and Principal He were sitting together. Both of them had smiles on their faces, and the atmosphere seemed to be good.

  Jiang Youtao knocked on the door and went in. Principal He looked at her and said cheerfully, "Teacher Jiang is here? This is Director Li from the Women's Federation. They have some work that needs your cooperation. Please discuss it first."

  Director Li should have come earlier, but she went to the Ministry of Education again and informed them.

  Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Education was reluctant to get involved in the matter, but he gave her a note that as long as someone was willing to teach the safety class with her, she could do so.

  Principal He was also unwilling to be involved in this matter, so he left it alone as Director Li had designated a teacher.

  Director Li glanced at Jiang Youtao and the others, then smiled and said to Principal He, "We'll leave first. Principal He can come to our house and visit us when you have time."

  Director Li's partner is the director of the Public Security Bureau. Although they are not in the same system, Principal He is also willing to make friends: "Okay, okay. I will definitely go if I have the chance."

  Director Li took Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei out of the principal's office and into an open space. She looked at the two young girls in front of her seriously and said, "This matter is dangerous. You may be reported, demoted to a farm, and lose your position as a teacher. Are you still willing?"

  Director Li has decided to take the responsibility herself, but she still wants to give the two girls in front of her a chance to regret.

  Director Li hopes that they can still change their decision, as they are still too young and have a bright future ahead of them.

  Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei looked at each other and said with a smile, "Director Li, there was no road before, but as more people walked, a road was created. Weiwei and I don't have much ability, but we also want to be pioneers. Even if we don't walk out of the road, leaving behind two sets of footprints is also good."

  Gu Nianwei said, "Tao Tao is right. We female comrades used to be confined to the backyard, unable to read, write, or even go out. But now female comrades can go out and earn the same as male comrades. Although we don't get equal pay for equal work, isn't this a big improvement compared to the past?"

  "We dare not compare ourselves to our ancestors, but we also want to protect and escort girls who have not yet grown up."

  When the two girls in front of her were talking about this, their eyes were sparkling, as if they were filled with thousands of stars. Director Li's nose was sore and her eyes were moist. She reached out and patted the shoulders of the two young girls in front of her.

  "Good comrades, good comrades, I am proud of you." Director Li stood at attention and saluted them. Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei stood up straight.

  Director Li said: "If my comrades who fought with me back then saw you, they would definitely like you."

  But most of the people in their female army are gone.

  Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei stood straight. At this moment, they seemed to be meeting with those predecessors who were determined to seek benefits for women, with their identities from the 1970s and their souls from the 21st century.

  "You guys go back and prepare. I'll find a few more people. This Saturday afternoon, we'll use the last class before the holiday to give the girls a safety lesson."

  "Okay, Director Li."

  Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei sent Director Li to the school gate. After Director Li walked away, Jiang Youtao said to Gu Nianwei, "Let's go back and prepare the materials."

  "Let's go." The two of them returned to the dormitory excitedly, opened their notebooks and compiled their information into a book.

  They worked particularly hard on this material. Gu Nianwei roughly flipped through all the books on this subject in her space, and Jiang Youtao bought a textbook on this subject in the system mall.

  For each textbook, the melon-eating system paid out melon coins. It was a poor system with little money, so the amount it paid out was very little, but Jiang Youtao was very moved. After going through ups and downs together for more than a year, the system's little idiot was finally no longer idiot.

  Jiang Youtao waved her hand and bought it a colorful skin that it liked, which was something unknown. The melon-eating system was very happy.

  Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was Friday. Director Li came again. This time, she was followed by a dozen people, three of whom were Jiang Youtao's acquaintances. Director Wang from the Women's Federation of Zaoxiang Commune and her former colleague Teacher Li also came. There was also another person, a teacher from Zaoxiang Primary School.

  They are all women, and they came here voluntarily after hearing about this class.

  Director Li said: "These two are teachers from the county's central primary school, and these few are women's federation officers and primary and secondary school teachers from the commune below. Before officially teaching the students, we had a simple exchange, learned from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and tried to make this a safety class that will appear in students' textbooks in the future."

  Jiang Youtao looked at the dozen or so female comrades in front of her, and a warm feeling flowed through their hearts.

  From ancient times to the present, our female compatriots have never fought alone.

  Jiang Youtao and the others followed Director Li to the Women's Federation office. The office had changed a lot. The desks were arranged in two rows, and stools were placed next to the desks.

  Everyone took their seats in turn. An official from the county women's federation took out a glass with a red peony printed on it and poured a glass of water for everyone. Everyone took out their pens and notebooks. Director Li cleared his throat and was about to start speaking when footsteps were heard.

  The voice came before the person arrived. It was a clear female voice: "Lao Li, have you started yet? If not, wait for us."

  "Yes, we haven't even arrived yet. It's not very kind of you to do this, Lao Li."

  Everyone looked towards the door and saw more than a dozen female comrades walking in. Some of them were in a hurry and were still wearing work clothes.

  There were people from the cannery, state-owned stores, restaurants, other government departments, and even female police officers from the Public Security Bureau. Zhang Dezhun was among them. They were all small leaders of various units.

  The news that Director Li was going to give female students a safety class spread quickly throughout the city, and people were not optimistic about her. Some even advised her to forget it, so as not to be demoted, which would be a loss.

  Director Li didn't expect so many people to come. Her eyes were red. "Thank you, everyone. Thank you for your support of my work."

  "Stop talking nonsense, Lao Li, and let's get started." said the impatient person.

  Director Li was not annoyed: "Let's sit down first and talk. Xiao Deng, Xiao Lin, go to the next office and move some stools."

  "No need for them, we can do it ourselves." More than ten minutes later, the Women's Federation office, which was originally quite large, was full of people. Some of them had no space for stools, so they just stood and listened.

  Director Li was the first to throw out the blank. She took out the cases she had compiled and said, "First of all, I would like to thank you all for coming here today despite your busy schedule. Thank you for your support for our work. Thank you for your concern for our next generation."

  "There has never been a shortage of bad people in this world, including perverts. They don't have the courage to extend their evil claws to adults, so ignorant children become their targets."

  "Girls today, including us, have experienced more or less sexual abuse that we didn't even know about when we were kids."

  "Some of these people are strangers, and some are acquaintances. The extent of their behavior varies. The lighter ones are just a touch or a hug, while the more serious ones are just a kiss or something more extreme."

  "Because of the current national conditions in our country, many parents believe that sex is shameful and cannot be discussed, so many times, girls today cannot receive such education."

  "They don't even know they have their period, and are laughed at by many people. As female compatriots, as adults, as Women's Federation staff, and as teachers, we have the ability and the need to hold up an umbrella for them."

  "Because we have been caught in the rain before, we must hold up this umbrella firmly and steadily. Only in this way can our next generation grow up healthily and safely."

  As Director Li finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out.

  Director Li waited for a while, and when the applause stopped, she continued, "Today's meeting is mainly to study what we should talk about. The first pilot project we put in the county junior high school. Next, we will ask teachers Jiang and Gu from the county junior high school to tell us the key points of the content we need to talk about."

  Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei have met countless times in the past few days, and the content of their speech has been revised countless times.

  After Director Li finished speaking, Gu Nianwei nudged Jiang Youtao's arm and said, "Taotao, you tell the story."

  With so many people around, Gu Nianwei felt a little nervous.

  Everyone was looking at them and waiting for them. Jiang Youtao glanced at Gu Nianwei, who smiled at her and nodded.

  Jiang Youtao stood up and took out the notebook they had revised many times: "This is what I have done with Teacher Gu in the past few years. When explaining the content to the children, we divided it into two parts. One is physiological, and the other is psychological..."

  Under the gaze of dozens of eyes, Jiang Youtao spoke eloquently. She started from these two parts, from physiology to psychology. The content was profound and concise. Many of the viewpoints and arguments were unknown to the female comrades present.

  During the lecture, many people asked questions, and Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei answered them one by one.

  It was precisely because of these answers that Jiang Youtao felt that this safety class must be taken, and Director Li's expression became more and more serious.

  The meeting started before it got dark and lasted until the lights came on.

  When the meeting was over, many people stopped to talk to Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei, and a few of them pulled Director Li aside and told her that this class should be offered and was worth holding.

  This feeling of being affirmed made Director Li's heart tremble.

  It was already dark, but Director Li insisted on sending the two back to school. She watched them enter the dormitory before she went back.

  Her husband had already prepared dinner and was waiting for her.

  She grabbed the rice bowl and started eating. After half a bowl of rice went into her stomach, Director Li spoke: "Mr. Ren, I really like these two children."

  Director Li's husband, Director Ren, added a bowl of soup and said, "Invite them to our home some other day and have a meal together."

  Director Li said: "It would be great if the squad leader was still here. If she saw them, she would definitely jump for joy."

  Director Ren and Director Li's squad leader were also comrades-in-arms. The two were together because Director Li's squad leader brought them together. She was an extremely good person, but she did not live to the end.

  She died on the way to deliver intelligence to the main force, that was the eve of dawn. If she could live a few more days, she would have heard the news of the victory of the war of resistance.

  "Let's eat. Tell me, how did your meeting go?"

  Director Li was beaming with joy when she talked about this incident: "It's great. Just when we were about to have a meeting, many female comrades came, from all walks of life. The two young comrades also spoke very well."

  Director Ren was very supportive of his wife's work: "That's good, that's good. After a while, I will have the older guys in our bureau patrol more often near the school to ensure that no one comes to cause trouble."

  "Good."

  Director Li smiled and picked up a piece of dry-baked potato shreds that Director Ren liked to eat with his chopsticks.

  On the last class on Saturday afternoon, under Gu Nianwei's broadcast, the children from each class gathered in the school auditorium. The male teachers spontaneously went to maintain class discipline, and the female teachers also went to the auditorium to maintain discipline.

  The teachers who came yesterday came again, and they spontaneously sat in the last row.

  The female students from the county middle school didn't know why so many adults came. They sat on the stools and didn't even dare to say a word.

  Two tables and three stools were set up in front of the auditorium. Director Li sat in the middle, while Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei sat on both sides.

  In front of them were three microphones wrapped in red cloth, and the volume of the microphones had been turned down to the lowest setting.

  Director Li tapped the microphone to test the sound, and said in the softest and gentlest tone: "Everyone must be curious about why we came to the auditorium today, and why there are girls here. Not only that, there are also many aunts and sisters from other female teachers who came to listen to the class."

  "This is because today, we are going to talk about a secret about girls. Next, we will hand the microphone over to your teachers Jiang and Gu, and let them tell you this secret."

  Jiang Youtao spoke first: "Some of you know me, some don't, but after today, I think everyone must know me. I am the Chinese teacher of Class 2, Grade 8. My name is Jiang Youtao. You can call me Teacher Jiang. If you don't like it, you can call me Sister Tao. I am also happy to do that."

  Jiang Youtao's few words eased the students' tension, and some children started laughing.

  Jiang Youtao changed the subject and continued, "Did you have any minor physical problems while growing up? For example, one day, your front part would become painful when touched, and your back part would slowly grow. When you were twelve or thirteen years old, you would suddenly wake up one day and be surprised to find blood on your pants."

  "At this time, don't panic or be afraid. This is all normal. Because our bodies are growing and developing. This also means that we have grown up."

  Jiang Youtao's voice echoed in the auditorium. After Jiang Youtao finished talking about physiology, Gu Nianwei talked about the psychological changes at this time. Finally, their topic finally came to how to protect themselves.

  "So at this time, how should we protect ourselves..."

  The atmosphere in this safety class was particularly good. Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei were both very good at mobilizing the students' emotions, and they answered every question from the students very gently.

  The events of the class passed quickly, and after Director Li announced the end of the class, the students walked out of the auditorium one after another, discussing as they walked along. They could finally speak freely about the topic that they had been afraid to discuss before.

  Jiang Youtao and the others were the last to leave.

  When teachers from other schools asked them about their notes for this class, Jiang Youtao gave them all.

  Before going out, Jiang Youtao saw a student in her class named Li Xiaolan who was looking at her.

  Jiang Youtao walked up to her and said, "Xiaolan, do you have anything to say to me?"

  It had been a few days since the start of the school year, and Jiang Youtao had gotten a pretty good idea of the personalities of the students in the class. Li Xiaolan was from Chuzigou Commune, on the edge of the county town. She was a rural child, but her parents treated her very well, and she did well in her class, being above average in grades.

  Li Xiaolan pursed her lips again and again. Jiang Youtao kept waiting for her to speak. Her eyes were as gentle as the spring breeze in March. Li Xiaolan finally made up her mind and asked, "Teacher Jiang, it is wrong for an adult man to hug and kiss an underage girl, right?"

  Jiang Youtao's face suddenly became serious. She stopped and looked at Li Xiaolan: "Xiaolan, has anyone done this to you?"

  Li Xiaolan shook her head and immediately retorted: "It's not me, it's my best friend, her uncle always hugs her and kisses her."

  Under Jiang Youtao's encouraging gaze, Li Xiaolan explained the matter clearly. Li Xiaolan is fourteen years old, and her friend is about the same age as her. The uncle she mentioned is not a real uncle, but a neighbor next door to her friend's house. He is married and has children, but he likes her friend very much.

  Hugging and kissing are common things, and they have been like this since they were young. Her friends find such actions uncomfortable and embarrassing, and they try to avoid them every time, but her uncle always scolds them.

  When Li Xiaolan went back last week, her friend really didn't know what to do, so she came to her for advice.

  Jiang Youtao's blood pressure suddenly rose.

  "Xiaolan, do your friend's parents know about this?"

  Li Xiaolan shook her head: "They don't know, and my friend doesn't dare to tell anyone because she's afraid of getting beaten if she tells anyone."

  Jiang Youtao thought for a moment and said to Li Xiaolan, "How about this, Teacher Gu and I will take you home later. You can call your best friend and we can talk to her."

  Li Xiaolan nodded quickly.

  Jiang Youtao went over and told Gu Nianwei about this matter. Director Li was also there, and she expressed her wish to go along.

  After all the students left, Xu Manqiu stayed in their dormitory, Jiang Youtao rode her bike with Li Xiaolan to their village, and Gu Nianwei drove Director Li.

  Li Xiaolan's home was not far away, and it only took less than ten minutes to get there by bike. As soon as she got home, Li Xiaolan went to find her friends. Gu Nianwei and the others were waiting at Li Xiaolan's home.

  After a while, Li Xiaolan came in with a girl.
