Chapter 265: Patriarchy

Knowing that there was something suitable for him to do, Ren Zurong seemed very happy, while Yan Haodong and He Kexin were worried about the teaching gentleman in the school, and ordinary gentlemen were reluctant to come to the countryside to teach.

Those who came to the countryside looked down on them, and they didn't teach the children seriously, and they still had to teach girls in this school, and some gentlemen didn't want to do it at all, thinking that women were not talented and virtuous, and teaching women was humiliating to them.

Now that they know that Ren Zurong is willing to take over the affairs of the school, they are also very happy, and they decided to give Ren Zurong the same bundle every month as the teacher in the town, two taels of silver every month, and gifts during the New Year's holidays, and even sold him pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

He Kexin and Yan Haodong also signed a contract with Ren Zurong, and they had a bundle every month, whether they were on vacation or not, and handed over the affairs in the school to him to be responsible, giving Ren Zurong a high salary and great respect, the only requirement was to hope that he could teach the children seriously and teach the children in the village as if they were his own children.

Ren Zurong is a gentle person, although he has been plagued by illness all the year round and will faint at every turn, but he has always been optimistic and cheerful, and when he heard He Kexin's request, he also agreed, but he felt that the restraint on himself was too high, and even said that he would not do this ink, paper and inkstone business, otherwise he would be uneasy.

Yan Haodong explained him, although this thing is a business, it is actually a good thing to help students, and this business is not profitable, so you really don't need to take it to heart.

Ren Zurong agreed, and his face was radiant again, he was really shocked! For so many years, he has always felt that he is a drag on his family, even his daughter-in-law has a good hand in embroidery, and he can use these embroidery skills to make money to subsidize the family, and he will not do anything except copy books to earn a little money that is not enough.

I didn't expect it, today he suddenly changed, two taels of silver a month, such a high income, not to mention living in the countryside, even if he went to the town, he could support a family.

After the problem of Mr. Teach was solved, the village school began to act, as long as there was time to come and help, this school was very large, and the classroom for teaching children to read and write was divided into two, one for boys and one for girls.

There is also a hot water area at the back of the school, which is usually boiled for the children to drink, as well as a toilet and a place for the husband to rest.

Because the whole village worked together, so this school was built quickly, and the whole village laughed when they saw this brand-new school, and on the day the school was completed, the whole village went there dressed neatly.

The village chief and the patriarch walked around inside, everyone's faces were full of smiles, and they didn't expect that their village would have such a day.

Seeing that everyone in the school is happy, the people in the village have inquired, this child can go to school for five cents, and he can go to school so cheaply, who doesn't want to?

When the school is completed, the children in the village will go to school, as long as the children who are not married will be sent to their families, they are willing to let the children study, before there was no opportunity and no money, now it is good, everything is cheap, of course I want to send my children to school.

On the first day of class for the children in the school, many people and the village chief were lying outside the window, just wanting to see the situation inside, and seeing the children follow Ren Zurong to start learning to memorize the three-character scripture seriously, every adult's eyes are hot, I hope the children can study hard, and they will live better than them in the future!

"Alright, let's all go back! Don't delay the children's reading, and see if they have to work harder to make money! In the future, the children will be able to go to the town to study, and maybe they will even be able to take the test! The village chief persuaded the people who were still watching.

In fact, he also knows, everyone is not worried about their children, just pure curiosity, nothing else, the school in the town knows where it is, but every time he walks there, a sense of inferiority arises, no one dares to enter easily, he will only speed up his pace and leave, feeling that he is not suitable for that place.

Now that there is a school in the village, of course everyone is curious, and wants to see how the husband teaches, and after hearing the words of the village chief, everyone leaves.

The village chief and the Yan patriarch came to Yan Haodong and said, "Look at it, this school is really good!" He is very happy that not only the children in the village are able to go to school, but also that his youngest son is able to earn money.

I used to worry about how this little son would live in the future, it was impossible for them to be with him for a lifetime, but now that his son is capable, and people are much happier, the sorrow and resentment between his eyebrows disappeared all of a sudden, and he felt that he had found the direction of life.

He Kexin glanced at the girls' classroom next door, and there were only a few people sitting in it, which made He Kexin feel very uncomfortable.

She was worried that the people in the village would care about the reputation of the girls, so she deliberately separated the men and women, but the girls still didn't come!

She wants girls to be literate because she wants them to have their own ideas, and she doesn't expect to be able to stand up and fight for their power, but at least she is sensible, but who knows that these girls still can't come.

This is the sadness of this era, the status of women is low, even if they are not married to the girls who are by their biological parents' side, they have to help work after they are a little older, and they will dedicate themselves to their mother's family from then on, and they will dedicate themselves to their mother-in-law's family when they become married, and live a lifetime with their husbands as the sky.

"How few girls come? Are they not going to school? He Kexin said with some depression.

Yan Haodong understood her thoughts, glanced at the people around her, and finally whispered: "There is no way to do this, we can't go to other people's homes to persuade them to send their daughters to school, right?" ”

The village chief was closer to them, and when he heard the conversation between their husband and wife, he also understood in his heart, and sighed and said: "It's useless, the adults in the village are busy working, and of course the girls will follow to work, and the boys are the treasure of the family!" Of course, this kind of good thing is thinking about them. He glanced at his granddaughter who was on the girl's side.

His two sons, each family has a son and a daughter, and now the four children have come to the school, and the granddaughter is the same for him, and he will not be so favored when he goes to his mother-in-law's house in the future, and now he can pet some of them!

But despite this, he still prefers more grandchildren in his heart, and he himself admits that he prefers sons over daughters, and the situation is like this all over the country, not to mention this country where no boy will be looked down upon!
