Chapter 44: The Xue Family Recruits 'Students'
Perhaps, as Lang Jing said, those Shilao girls and daughters should really forget all of them, completely forget, some concepts need to be changed.
Both have their own minds.
There was silence in the study for a while, and Xue Langjing's voice sounded, "I'll buy five more sets tomorrow, anyway, there is one more set at home, it was originally intended for Liu Huining, if grandpa is willing to use it, use that set, if you don't want to use it, pull it down, we don't beg him." If this set is used, it will be good to buy another set when the time comes, anyway, I will not beg him, he will go down the stairs if he is willing to do so, if he only values the prestige of the head of his family, and feels that he can't bow his head in front of the juniors or his daughter-in-law, then he will continue to hold the shelf! ”
That's all there is to it.
On the second day, Xue Langjing went to the town to buy five sets of teaching aids, and spent another twenty taels of silver.
Two times before and after, it cost her a total of sixty taels.
For more than 100 days, she originally saved 120 taels, but she still spent 15 taels to sell medicine and buy teaching aids, and finally saved 105 taels of silver.
After a few more days, Xue Yuhe took advantage of his leisure time to build several sets of tables and chairs for several of his people.
In this way, everyone in the Xue family can have a complete set of teaching supplies on their own.
During the lessons, the small courtyard was full of tables and chairs, and there was not much free space left, which looked quite formal.
The matter of studying was settled down like this.
Except for the old man Xue who refused to join no matter how much Mrs. Xue persuaded them, but scolded them several times, the Xue family can be said to have all joined the study army.
I even went to school, this matter can be blown for a lifetime for Mrs. Xue, naturally there is no reason to hide it, and it is only the second day, and the whole village knows about it.
The time when everyone went to class was originally the time when Mrs. Xue and them went out to chat, and it was also the most leisure time for the villagers.
There is such a new thing in the village, and people who have nothing to do are not allowed to go up and take a look.
Whether it's watching the excitement or wanting to take this opportunity to learn a few words along with Niannian.
In this way, from the second day, as long as it is the time for the Xue family to start classes, the small courtyard of the Xue family and even the gate of the courtyard will be full of villagers. Except for the places where the big guys set up tables and chairs, the other corners and corners were full of people.
When there are many people, there will inevitably be a lot of noise.
It's fine when everyone is studying, but it's inconvenient to be around with constant noise when writing.
The spicy Xue Milk and the eldest daughter-in-law Tang have powerful mouths, not only can their mouths be invincible, but their minds are also active, but they have come up with a way to make money and have negotiated several businesses.
What kind of business?
Because the two of them started up, and then after the discussion of the Xue family, they set the rules, everyone who wants to watch can only stand at the gate of the courtyard, and if they want to enter the courtyard, they have to collect copper plates, and collect a penny a day, but it is not in vain, the Xue family will provide paper for each person, and write the new words taught every day to them, so that they can take it back for review after class, and each person will have a chance to ask questions and answers after class.
Nothing else was available, they didn't have a brush or a teaching board, they could only use branches to draw on the ground.
If you want to use a brush and a teaching board, you can also give it a copper plate, but you can only borrow it after the Xue family's own course is over.
The Xue family will not be studying all the time, after class, these teaching tools will be vacated, they can come and borrow, borrowing tools include tables and chairs, brushes, teaching boards, two cents an hour, but they must only be used in the courtyard of the Xue family, and cannot be taken out.
Ordinary people want to study in a regular school, the cheapest, also cost two taels of silver a year, and other pen, ink, paper, inkstone, books, etc. have to be prepared extra.
Just one bundle, if you calculate it, you will get six cents a day, not to mention other more valuable ones.
In this way, although the Xue family is their own 'school' and a 'gentleman' who does not enter the stream, it is still very cost-effective for the villagers who really want to study for only such a small copper plate.
Even if you spend more, go to a class for a day, and then borrow an hour, it will be three pennies a day, for people who want to study but do not have this condition, it is really cost-effective, it can be said that if you miss this village, there will be no such shop.
So why do you only pay a penny for a day's lectures, but only borrow a few things, and you need two pennies an hour?
It's very simple, this brush and teaching board will be lost if you write too much, just this kind of ordinary brush that Xue Langjing bought, even if one person uses it, it can be used for half a year, a brush is about 150 yuan, which is equivalent to one penny a day, and there is also a teaching board, so two pennies for an hour is really not expensive.
And for the villagers, the Xue family is still very kind this time, originally all of Jiang Qianyue's teaching boards were facing away from the entrance of the courtyard, in order to let people outside the courtyard also see it, they also deliberately turned their heads so that the teaching boards were facing the door.
There are dozens of people who have come to sign up for the class, but the place in the small courtyard of the Xue family is really not enough, if you want the people who are listening to the class to have a place to compare, you have to draw a small piece of land, so even if you have carved out as many places as possible, you can only accept fifteen in the end.
In order to grab this position and make it possible for them to register every day, everyone has set up classes for at least one month.
If you borrow teaching aids, you will naturally come in line.
As a result, fifteen sets of teaching aids were almost all placed from dawn in the morning until it was dark, except for the Xue family's own use in class, the rest of the hours were basically not free.
I taught like this for a month, and after conversion, about a dozen brushes were scrapped, and then the paper was removed, not counting the loss of the teaching board, and there was a surplus of more than two taels.
The loss of brushes and paper is large, and it only consumes more than two taels of silver, and the loss of the teaching board is definitely not as good as that of brushes and paper.
In other words, in this month, the Xue family can earn at least one or two silver, which is definitely worth the embroidery earned by the sisters.
In this way, Old Man Xue, who has always been opposed, has no reason to object.
Because of this extra extra money, the loss of the Xue family's studying, except for the sixty taels of silver that Xue Langjing bought at the beginning, is no more, but some of them are earned.
And it also won the gratitude of the villagers, which greatly improved the image of the Xue family in the eyes of everyone.
It is also to give free classes to people outside the hospital, and let people who come to register for classes to study for less money.
Not only that, but the Xue family also directly hung out those scrapped brushes and let everyone use them for free.
Although these obsolete pens are no longer suitable for class, they are definitely useful for people who are reluctant to spend extra money, as long as they take a wooden board and dip it in some water.
