Respectfully introduce classes and stories about farmers in a coastal area studying popular crops in the novel of soil and Blood by writer Dang Huynh Thai.

Co village communal house, located right on a vast beach. The large communal house column strokes a person's arms, low sleeves, the tall person steps in and bows his head. Every coastal area is like that, with storms all year round, so it has to be built low to suffer the sun and rain and the monsoon. The ups and downs of time have recorded the unique cultural traces of the people who "eat waves and speak the wind".
Today, this communal house houses the regular Binh Hoc classes for students from neighboring villages and communes. After this urgent class, students returned to their villages and communes to open a folk medicine class on literacy for the people of their villages and communes. From early morning, everyone flocked to sit in three courtyards. No tables or chairs, sitting on the ground. Use the communal house door as a signboard. Take charcoal and dry lime and make a powder.
Mr. Trup Thang, now known as a teacher. The staff and the contact uncle, like an assistant lecturer, occasionally stood up and held a wet towel to mop the board for the teacher. Holding a handful of coal in his hand, he continued. Mr. Thang wrote it in the letter A, he read it in the letter A, below it he read it in the letter A. When he finished reading it, Coi was the first to read the loudest for everyone to read.
That time, when Coi had just stood up, there was a loud call below: "Mr. Coi". Stunned back, he saw a girl falling and running into the communal house yard. Realizing it, Coi chased after him and shouted "Na". The whole class was silent for a moment, then there was a noise. Mr. Thang understood the incident, pressed the board, and the whole class returned to normal. Despite the fact that the couple chased each other...
The fist punched Coi in the back:
"Where are you going to lose your Toad, think you are dead? Then I hugged the banyan tree and burst into tears!"
"Returning from the dead, you have to be happy, why cry?"
As soon as he spoke, Coi rubbed his hands black and cleaned the coal, placed it on Na's shoulders to turn around. The four eyes look into the depths of the heart, silent, holding their breath. A film of two worlds, alternating, filming quickly in the eye of an enchanted person. The young brown women's milk strip still has drops of unyed milk, vibrated like a spark. Every interruption, Na said:
"I... I don't have anything left... anymore... Ho?"
"I will kill that dead dog Bang!"
The club screamed, shook Na's shoulders with both hands, her teeth gritted, her face swollen and her breath was steep...

A few days ago, Mr. Tien, the Village Chief, called Na to come. Not fencing first to welcome back, roaming around, he said directly:
"I know you have studied at the Cross Health Monastery, then joined the Saint song band, and know how to read the national language and French. Then, the above order went down to the villages and opened classes for people to study to eliminate illiteracy for the people. Each commune sends one person to school first. I've looked at you all the time, I've seen you. When I get ready, I go and listen to the instructions immediately."
"Mr. and I don't dare, how can you go there in a poor, torn, and ugly house?"
"You're strange, now that's a new life, no matter the rich or poor, the heart is the heart of the child".
Mrs. Tien came out from the room and heard that, then turned to the kitchen to call Mr. Trang Tien. She said as if giving orders:
"I can't be your daughter-in-law, you have to consider it as your child, your parents are dead. The boy with the Coi bond has gone missing. It doesn't know who to rely on. Tomorrow, he took her to the market to buy a new dress so she could learn to read. Bring a basket of rice to sell for money and then the two choose a cloth, clearly? ".
Trang was moved, forced to accept, and then took Na to the kitchen to chat:
" since! Trang hesitated to get into the matter. becoming a father and a mother, it was too late to know, I was at fault. All are due to hunger and chaos. The uncle's house and the nephew's house were both in a state of disrepair, with broken hands and empty hands. It is a great blessing that our uncles and nephews are still alive today. I trust that the Uncle Ho's House is still alive, he is wandering somewhere. You should get up happy, let everything go, don't look back, who knows if tomorrow you will see more good things!"
Na gently said:
" Yes, I believe so. For the past few nights, she has been fascinated by him. It was a waste, all the people holding sunglides in their hands went to arrest the evil demons who robbed, robbed land, and killed. They fought, blood flowed all over the river, into the stream, dying the mountains, forests and seas red. I screamed, woke up, and stayed up all morning."
"The Uncle Ho himself knows that it is very strong, he said he would do it and do it. In a few more days, after the male fish season, I would like to ask for permission from Mr. and Mrs. Tien to look for it. I still have a lot of burden on my wife and children"...
Following Mr. and Mrs. Tien's wishes, Na hastily bought fabric, morning the brown roots to dye, and scooped up mud to dye the dress. On the day of school, Na dressed up in a new dress, traveled nearly a day, and went to Co's communal house to study.

... The hung told Na a few such sentences and then rushed into the classroom.
After thinking for a night, early the next morning, Coi went to Na's motel in the coastal hamlet. People say: "Where did Nai go from morning chicken? Even if I go away for a few days, I miss home and cry all night".
Last night, Na did not sleep, burying her face in a straw and crying. In his head, he thought about the journey of suffering, being bitter and swallowing, and countless hardships and difficulties. Na had to suffer capital punishment many times, and was revived twice, now she is being slashed and dismissed again, so hope is finally gone. Oh! a fragile world, a human life. I arose, there was nothing left, I had to leave this place. The night was foggy, the sea wind blew in the cool air. Na walked around, passed out of the village, where to go, where to return, he didn't know. Both legs were walking with heavy heads and unconscious. Returning home? No. Mr. and Mrs. Tien and the villagers will scold and everyone will disregard him as ungrateful. To send them to school and drop out of school. Wherever he fled, who would accept this traitor? Na went through two fields but still could not find a way out. A rat ran across the road, causing Na to wake up. The two eyes opened wide and issued rays of fire, Na's heart beat beat strongly and the sound of someone burning in his head: "come back, he's waiting for news at home, who's dead, who's dead, let's talk? Quickly get to the sky as soon as it's morning...". How happy to die, how selfish, at that time just a moment of guilt left everything behind. Mrs. Tien taught: Don't forget your gratitude. But...
turning around, Na walked as if running, and there were people running in front of him. Realizing it, the two hugged and held each other tightly. From the bottom of her heart, Na choked up:
"Anh, hunger is over, your father and brother are still alive"...
The club was stunned by Na, turned around for a few times, and called out:
"I'm back here, Dad!... Dad, brother".
Just like that, they flooded into the sea, the silver waves carried them away. Coi and Na, like two flowers in the folk tale of Bai Mon village. Today, I went swimming again to search, the young brown strip was washed away by the seawater from the dirty, coughy milk that had been sour for many years.
On the shore, teacher Thang happily whispered to the earth, sky, and sea: "Then are two loving hearts in harmony. The bitter fruit has sunk deep into the seabed".
In the East, the sun rises red, the dawn is waking up.

In the class, the reader who is most proficient in writing is Na. After the two teachers and students met, Na said:
"Before the pandemic, I studied at the Cross Women's Monastery, then joined the Saint-Loy band, and could read the national language and French. You and Mr. Coi, two houses on both sides of the Ne River, love each other but are separated by the docent curse of the river. For a long time, the two villages have been giving up land, killing each other, so they put up a curse: "If the two villages get married, they will break the gap, break the burden in the middle of the road, no one will be happy until the dragon's teeth are gray".
Then the Japanese festival festival returned to the village to destroy, kill, and rob. Mr. Coi fled to the forest in a mistreated manner. She was forced to kiss by Ly Khoi's son in the village next door, sufferedential beating, and died twice. But I still miss Mr. Coi and wait. But...".
Mr. Thang comforted:
"The matter is over. The bitter fruit has sunk deep into the seabed. The country is independent and free. The hungry are gone, our people must listen to Uncle Ho's words to destroy the poor. From tomorrow, I will be a classroom teacher for him.
Na chay chay chay:
"I came here to study, not to be a teacher".
laughing, encouraging:
"Seeing is knowing that you have a lot of potential, you can't deny it, this is a new task. Uncle Ho said: "If you know, teach someone who doesn't know"...
This morning's class, everyone was surprised that there was teacher Na. Mr. Thang introduced himself after sitting down to listen to the first reading. Na's voice is sweet and emotional. Standing on the "lesson hall" of Binh Phuc Thuc Thuc, with the sound of love, suppressing many days of suffering, Na carries each word to sow in people's hearts, paving the way to tomorrow. He was speechless, like a person who could not see the road but walked around and then returned to hunger and poverty. The whole layer applauded with a fence, it was so gentle and absorbed. Based on the old folk songs, which Mr. Thang taught yesterday, to reduce the stress, it is easy to understand:
"Yesterday I went to play at home.
Seeing his mother weaving a cloth and his father going hastily.
Seeing her busy driving a motorbike.
Seeing the "i - kho" child sitting and studying ball and chain.
Then go and follow Uncle Ho's orders.
The whole country is "racing to study".
During these days, they eat, stay, and study together. Each person has a different situation but is concentrated, each person has his own suffering, poverty and returning from death. sympathize with each other, share sadness and joy. Compassionately, the noble people gathered unfamiliar people here, together together to destroy the poor with all their heart.
The Binh Volunteer Education Class has ended, everyone is a teacher returning to the village. Mr. Thang continues to open classes for other villages and hamlets, further away. Keeping his promise, Mr. Thang let Coi and Na return to their hometown in Khanh Huu to meet their family, then together opened a class for Binh Dan to study, eliminating illiteracy for the villagers.
