She glanced at Yang Peijun as she spoke.
The children of the Yang Family had all attended school, despite poor conditions and policy restrictions, but Yang Dahai was determined and sent all five kids to school. Their ancestors were also scholars, so he deeply understood that education was not only about enlightenment, but also about finding a way out.
Eldest brother Yang Peiguo and second brother Yang Peihua had faced very tough conditions, almost to the point of starvation. Yang Peiguo stopped going to school after finishing junior high, insisting on leaving the opportunity for his younger siblings. Yang Peihua's education was interrupted in grade seven during that period and he never returned to school.
Yang Peihua had also previously stopped schooling after grade five for two or three years. When he resumed school, he found he no longer had the drive to study, and reluctantly made it to grade seven before he refused to go anymore.
