Chapter 687: Go to the village chief's house
For several brothers to have such thoughts in their hearts, Song Li's heart was also quite uncomfortable. However, it is also because of people's preconceived notions that this kind of thinking is caused.
"It's also good for women to study, and aren't a few of our family following along?" Although Song Min'er in the family doesn't study orthodox, they still occasionally follow Song Jing to learn to read and write.
"Can that be the same?" Song Youye said, learning at home is a small fight, but if you really go to the school, it will be different. I haven't seen a woman go to school since ancient times, so I can't let Ah Li do such nonsense about this matter.
"Big brother, let me ask you what would happen if Min'er went to the academy and read and wrote?" Song Li asked.
Song Youye thought about it, what would happen? It seemed that it would indeed not be good, neither less meat nor more catties of grain. But there is no precedent for letting women go to the school in the Great Calendar Dynasty, what does this Min'er do in the school?
"Min'er should talk about her mother-in-law's family in two years, if the matchmaker knows that Min'er has read and written, she will look down on Min'er, and then she can find a good mother-in-law for Min'er. Song Lidao.
Hearing that studying is beneficial to finding her in-laws' family in the future, Chen immediately became interested.
"Really?" Min'er is more than ten years old this year, and in two years, she will indeed find her in-law's house, if going to school is really good for Min'er to find her in-law's family, then she will definitely agree.
Song Li didn't expect her sister-in-law to be interested.
"Of course. ”
Not to mention the Chen family, even the Ma family and the Zhou family are also moved. Who doesn't want their daughter to marry a good family in the future? But is it so easy for a good family? So they don't want to miss any opportunity to marry their daughter to a good family.
"Then don't you go to the school to get in touch with those male babies?" This is what Chen is more worried about, although Min'er and they are still young now, but if they are really used by others to gossip, it will hurt Min'er and them at that time.
Song Li had already thought of this, "The school will be divided into women's classes and men's classes at that time." Keeping the two classes separate will also avoid a lot of unnecessary friction. "But in fact, it's all in the same village, and everyone plays in the same place on weekdays, and who doesn't know whose house yet? It's just that now that I'm older, I always have to be a little more fortified.
Boys' and girls' classes? That sounds good.
"What about the gentleman who taught? Mr. Chen you invited back?" If this is divided into two classes, I am afraid that one gentleman will not be enough.
"I'll ask another one back. Song Li also knew that it was impossible to rely on Mr. Chen alone, and he had to find another gentleman to come back.
"Hey, it's a good thing to open a private school, but if you get all the girls to enroll, I'm afraid it's not that easy. Song Huafeng said. After all, there is no precedent for a girl to go to school, not to mention, more importantly, the average girl in the family can help the family work after she is seven or eight years old.
"When the time comes, I will discuss this with the village chief, if everyone is willing to learn, then go, if they are not willing, they will not be reluctant. Song Li also knows that it is not so easy to change everyone's current inherent concept, but if she gives up without even trying, it is not her style.
"That's good. Song Huafeng was most worried that Song Li would force himself, but he was relieved to hear Song Li say this.
"Didn't grandfather say that he would help me watch it when the time comes? Song Li said to Song Zhenghao.
Song Zhenghao originally thought that there was no hope, but he didn't expect it to turn around.
"Don't worry if you leave this matter to me, I'll help you do it properly. Now he's kind of found something to do.
Although Song Li has decided to go to the capital to develop, he will not be in a hurry, because going to the capital is not just talking, and he must make all preparations.
What's more, there are still a lot of things at home that need to be taken care of before you can leave.
Song Li followed her father Song Huafeng to the village chief's house that afternoon.
The village chief's family in the village is naturally considered to be first-class.
Just look at the big brick and tile house, and the fat pigs and big buffaloes fed in the pig pen.
"Auntie, is my uncle at home?" As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I saw the village chief's daughter-in-law squatting on the ground and cutting pigweed.
The village chief's daughter-in-law put down the kitchen knife in her hand and looked up at the visitor. smiled: "It turned out that Second Brother Song and Ah Li came, come into the house and sit." ”
Song Li and Song Huafeng went in and out of the village chief's house many times, so they didn't follow her politely and entered the house.
"The Feng family has split up and invited your uncle over, and I've been there for most of the day, I think most of them should be back soon. The village chief's daughter-in-law said.
Song Li smiled, "So that's the case, then it's really not a coincidence that we're here." ”
She had also heard about the Feng family, and the old couple of the Feng family were also unlucky. The two sons in the family are married to their daughters-in-law and forgot their mothers, but now they are still thinking about selling their own sisters and driving their parents out, if the old couple of the Feng family were not forced to a dead end, they should not have thought of separating from their two sons.
"What a coincidence, this man, alas. The village chief's daughter-in-law also sighed when she talked about the Feng family, but even if they were pitiful to the old couple of the Feng family, what could they do?
Now who doesn't choose to protect himself, for fear that this trouble will go up. The village chief's daughter-in-law sighed a few sentences and changed the topic.
"Why did you come here this time?" There are a lot of things in the Song family all day long, I just don't know what this time is for, but no matter what it is, it can always bring a lot of benefits to his family in the end, even if it is for this, he has to give Song Li a good face.
"Last time, I didn't have a piece of land with my uncle, but I was going to discuss with my uncle about building a private school, so that all the children in the village could go to school. Song Lidao.
The village chief's daughter-in-law hadn't turned a corner at first, but when it came to studying, she understood.
"Are you planning to build your own private school?" This girl's heart is big enough, and she still wants to build her own private school.
Song Li nodded. "Yes, I see that most of the older children in the village are helping to work, but this is not good for literacy, and I can't work in the fields for the rest of my life!" Song Li said.
The village chief's daughter-in-law didn't think so far, but she thought that her grandson was about to enter the school, if the Song family's private school was really opened, wouldn't it be much more convenient for her eldest grandson to go to the school?
