Chapter 865: Intentions
After the opening of the Enlightened School, Rokuro would come here every day to learn literacy and arithmetic. In the school, he and the rest of the students will also be provided with a free meal.
Rokuro came to the school to study, and the old house didn't need to spend a penny, and he didn't even need to work.
The opening ceremony officially began after the Yangge team warmed up and lasted for about half an hour. A group of students, led by Lian Shouxin, Gorou and Mr. Qu, kowtowed in front of the Imperial Archway. After that, even Shouxin and Gorou spoke in front of everyone, but the main event was handed over to Mr. Qu. Mr. Qu explained in simple terms, quoted scriptures, and immediately calmed down all the officials and squires present.
As for the parents of the students, as well as the villagers who came to watch the ceremony, it was as if they had seen Qu Xing. Some families also have school-age children, but they have not been sent to school, and those who are still waiting and watching are also moved, not knowing if it is too late to send their children to school now.
After the ceremony, the crowd was discouraged. As for the elementary school students, they sat in the classroom and began their first lesson.
Looking at the children sitting in the room and listening to their scholars, Lian Man'er's sense of accomplishment was unprecedentedly high.
It was such a meaningful thing that when she first came into this world, she could hardly imagine that she could really have this day. Not only did she live a good life and have the opportunity to learn from famous teachers, but she was also able to help so many children enter the classroom.
Knowledge is power, and it can change everything.
In the past two years, Thirty Miles Camp has benefited a lot because of the development of their family, and their living standards are among the top among many villages and towns in Jinyang County. Lian Man'er hopes that through the Enlightened School, neighboring villages and towns, including Thirty Liyingzi, can be used. can benefit in the long run.
She believes that maybe the two or three years of the first class of students is not obvious, but the situation will become very obvious in the ...... of two or three classes, five or six years, or even ten or eight years.
The longer the time is spent planting trees to educate people, the more significant the results will be. The saplings grow into large trees with lush foliage. Peach and plum bloom all over the world.
It's worth looking forward to, and it's worth working for!
……
For the time being, there are two gentlemen, Mr. Qu and Mr. Liu, Mr. Qu is responsible for enlightening the children, Mr. Liu. That is, Liu is responsible for teaching the children arithmetic. In addition, Lian Man'er's family also chose a guy to go over and be responsible for helping with the chores of the cooking hall.
Lian Man'er's family prepared a room for Mr. Qu in the courtyard, while Mr. Liu insisted on living in the school. The boy is mainly responsible for cleaning and tidying up the school, including lighting the fire and making the stove in the winter, and there is also a system of shifts among the students, with two students arriving at the school early every day and leaving later than the other students after school. Help the chores to do things, maintain the cleanliness of the environment in the school, etc.
Most of the students in the Enlightened School are used to doing work at home, and most of them don't have any money to study. Having a free meal to eat every day allows them to spend very little time doing some simple work and maintaining their own learning environment. The big guys are happy.
There are also people who are quite wealthy and have spent money to study. for these students. It is also the same. For example, the two grandsons of the Lao Jin family have not worked at home, and when they come to school, they have to learn to do it.
A few days after the school opened, everything went smoothly and on the right track. Lian Man'er's family was relieved, because the news came from Fucheng, saying that there were two Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Fucheng to sell, and Lian Man'er's family had long planned to buy more property in Fucheng, and after hearing this news, they planned to go to Fucheng to see, if Zhuangzi was good and the price was right, they would buy it.
Before leaving, he entrusted the affairs of the school to Mr. Qu.
Mr. Qu has been teaching for a few days, and he is very impressed. Most of the people who come to school in the enlightened school are children from farming families who can't afford to go to school under normal circumstances. These children, compared to those who can go to private schools, have a more simple environment.
Such students have simple and sincere feelings for the gentleman who taught them knowledge. There are even some students, because of their birthdays, the family rarely boiled an egg, but they were reluctant to eat it, and brought it to school in their arms, wanting to give it to their husband, but they were embarrassed in person, so they secretly sent it.
Mr. Qu lives in seclusion among the people, and he knows what an egg means to the children of ordinary villagers, so he is very moved.
Of course, the result of this kind of emotion is that Mr. Qu teaches harder, and of course he is more strict.
Mr. Qu once told Gorou that he found that some of these students had excellent qualifications.
"It would be nice if we could enlighten sooner," Mr. Qu sighed, but he also knew Gorou's experience, so he added hopefully, "But it's not too late." As long as they are willing to work hard......"
Of course, he has to teach him carefully. In addition to this, financial support is also needed.
Mr. Qu didn't mention this to Gorou very tactfully. Actually, when I went to invite Mr. Qu, Gorou had already said about it. Now Mr. Qu brings it up again because he really sees hope, and he wants to get confirmation from Gorou.
When Mr. Qu has something, he usually looks for Goro, and rarely looks for Lian to keep his promises. Especially for such a thing, Mr. Qu went straight to Goro.
Gorou immediately nodded and promised that if there was such a talent, the Lian family would support it to the end.
Mr. Qu was very satisfied.
Speaking of which, there is another advantage to inviting Mr. Qu to Thirty Mile Camp to teach in the Enlightened School, that is, Xiao Qi has another famous teacher. After a few days of getting along, Mr. Qu liked Xiao Qi very much and felt that Xiao Qi was not only smart, but also well-behaved. There is no need for even Man'er's family to ask, Mr. Qu will teach Xiao Qi's homework very seriously in addition to teaching.
Mr. Qu's knowledge is not inferior to Mr. Lu or Mr. Chu. With Mr. Qu, Xiao Qi doesn't always have to go to Fucheng to ask Mr. Chu for advice.
Because of this, even Shouxin is almost like a god to Mr. Qu. Needless to say, there is good tea and dinner every day, and even Shouxin likes to chat with Mr. Qu. He even learned a sentence from Lian Man'er, "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years." Lian Shouxin felt that talking to Mr. Qu more was equivalent to reading a lot of books.
When Mr. Lu was there, even Shouxin was the same. However, Mr. Lu is a southerner, while Mr. Qu is a native of Liaodong, so Lian Shouxin can talk to Mr. Qu even more.
The affairs of the school are handed over to Mr. Qu, which is very reassuring, and the affairs of the family are Zhang's. The Zhang family will not go to Fucheng this time, and the Li family will also stay for a few more days to accompany the Zhang family.
Because I went to Fucheng this time, I don't know how many days I have to live, and the day before I left, Lian Shouxin said that I wanted to go to the old house to see Mr. Lian and Zhou.
Zhang and Lian Man'er picked out some snacks, put them in a food box, and let people carry them, and Wulang, Lian Man'er and Xiaoqi all went to the old house with Lian Shouxin.
"Your grandfather is old, everyone is old. We're okay now, what we used to ...... Hey, if we can go and see more, let's go and see more. "Lian Shouxin has often said such things in front of several children recently.
"When you are born, your father will be happy." Even Shouxin will say this to Gorou and Xiaoqi.
However, Lian Shouxin would not lie, so he didn't say it to Lian Man'er.
Several children are very sensible, they know that they go to see Old Man Lian more, and it is a great comfort to Lian Shouxin in the first place.
“…… It's all a poor life, let's live a good life now, don't hate those......" This is also one of the words that Lian Shouxin loves.
"Dad, you see that there are people who are poorer than our family, why don't people have anything like ours?" There are some words that Lian Man'er can listen to vaguely, but there are some words that she doesn't want to be vague.
At this time, even Shouxin would sigh and stop talking.
However, even Man'er once asked herself, and she also asked Wulang and Xiaoqi whether they hold a grudge or not.
“…… I don't have time to think about that. This is Goro's answer. He also has a lot of things that he cares about and more meaningful things to do, and he doesn't get distracted by those people and things.
"Oh...... There are some things that are particularly uncomfortable to think about. If you don't want to, it's fine. This is Xiao Qi's answer.
As for Lian Man'er's own ......, hatred is a very deep feeling, and it will consume too much of a person's mind and energy. And even Man'er wants to use these thoughts and energy on things that are more interesting and important to her.
People are always moving forward.
Of course, the past will always leave its traces in some way. For example, Lian Man'er's current attitude towards the old house, in fact, is just a simple, the most appropriate response to the temperament of the old house.
Although Gorou and Xiao Qi's words are different, they must be the same as what she thinks in their hearts.
Because it was evening, when the grandfathers arrived at the old house, they found that Rokuro was also in the upper room.
When the old man saw that Lian Shouxin and them were coming, he hurriedly smiled and beckoned them to sit down. Liulang, who was stunned and stunned on this occasion, didn't say anything and didn't move, already knew that he jumped up all of a sudden, shouted to the fourth uncle, and gave up his seat to Lian Shouxin.
Obviously, Mr. Qu had taught them some of the etiquette they should have with their elders.
"The school is good, it's good to be able to go to school. Look at Rokuro, it's only been a few days, and it's been a lot! When everyone sat down, even the old man sighed.
In this way, it is natural that the old man Lian is praising Lian Man'er's family for opening a school, and Lian Shouxin is of course happy to hear it.
“…… There is not even an errand runner anymore. Zhou whispered.
Everyone pretended not to hear it.
"Rokuro, this kid has a lot of insight, even if I asked him, what words did he recognize, he couldn't say a few." The old man asked Lian Shouxin about the school again, and then said.
Liulang is very stupid in reading, and Lian Man'er's family already knows about it from Xiaolong and Xiaohu.
Lian Shouxin was about to talk to Old Man Lian when he heard footsteps outside.

There have been two shifts for a few days in a row, and the number on the scale has climbed again. Ask for a few votes of pink comfort o (∩_∩)o
