Chapter 119: Encouragement
"It's really not a good thing, not only do I not know how to teach, but the key is that you also know the tuition fee, where can you afford it in the countryside? It's not like I'm teaching in vain, is it? It doesn't matter if I'm really idle and earn money every day! "Mo Dahedao, but that's not the case, he still has a family to raise!
"Then you can set it lower!" Zhan Wenbin suggested.
"yes, Dad, I really think it's a good idea!" Mo Yunfei said.
Mo Dahe was a little helpless: "Wen Bin, Xiao Fei, things are not calculated like this, you all know that reading costs money, like Xiao Fei, pen, ink, paper and inkstone plus tuition, saving a little will cost ten taels of silver, where can ordinary farmers afford it, even if my tuition fee is reduced, one or two, but what about pen, ink, paper and inkstone?" It also costs four or five taels of silver, no one can afford it, and they don't necessarily send their children to study! ”
Mo Yunfei said: "Dad, I don't think what you said is a problem at all, pen, ink, paper and inkstone are expensive, yes, but there is no workaround, Dad, you are giving people enlightenment, not teaching people how to test talents, for the children of peasant families, even if they know some words and understand some things, it will have a great impact on him in the future life." So I think you can be responsible for enlightenment, teach the three-character classic, the thousand-character text, tell the children the truth of life, the story with meaning, give them inspiration, if you really meet a talented, you can teach it deeply, and suggest that his parents take him to a serious school to study! ”
"And then, what does this have to do with pen, ink, paper, and inkstone? You haven't said a workaround yet! Mo Dahe listened to it and was a little moved, but he still said subconsciously.
Mo Yunfei was a little sweaty, she was crooked.
Mo Yunfei hurriedly returned to the topic: "So, what you want to teach is to let children recognize some words, understand some principles of life, and teach them some simple arithmetic, I think it's very good." In this case, there is not much requirement for the word, just write and recognize, then we can make a wooden plate, put sand on it, let the children practice repeatedly on the sand table, if a word practice, and then write on the paper, teach them the use of the brush, and then let them write after they are familiar with it, so that it doesn't cost much money? ”
"Okay, this idea is really wonderful, Dahe, I really think Xiaofei's suggestion is very good, you can consider it!" Zhan Wenbin said.
"This? If that's the case, it seems to be okay, but how do the children charge? If you want to say that I'm quite idle now, if you want a book, the four books and the five classics can be printed now, and what you can receive is some unique books and the like! Mo Dahedao: "I have time to teach these children." ”
"Special circumstances and special treatment, I think the one or two silver you said is very good, one or two silver for a year, but the pen, ink, paper and inkstone have to be paid by themselves; Those who have no money can take grain and vegetables to pay, and it is enough to pay one or two pieces of silver; It's really not good, you can also help us do some work, or go up the mountain to collect firewood for us. ”
"Dad, I think it's just like this, let's calculate it on a monthly basis, a hundred yuan a month for a child, if you want it, you can bring your own equivalent things to pay; There is no need for other apprenticeship fees or anything, let's treat it the same regardless of whether we have money or not. What do you think, Dad? Mo Yunfei said.
Mo Xiaochi also said: "Dad, I think this is a good idea, otherwise no one cares about the children at this time, and they are running blindly all day long, all over the mountains!" ”
"No matter what, we have to talk to the village chief, it's not good for us to make our own decisions." Mo Xiaochi said.
"Hearing you say that, Dad also thinks it's a good idea, but do you think it can work? When the time comes, it will be a joke if no one comes, and what about the tables and chairs? You can't let the children stand and listen to the lessons, right? Mo Dahe was moved, but he still felt that it was difficult.
Mo Xiaochi was anxious for Mo Dahe: "Dad, what do you always think about doing so much?" Since you think it's a good idea, let's give it a try! Aren't tables and chairs simple? Aren't my second cousin and third uncle both carpenters? Can't they do it? ”
"If it doesn't work, we can use those tables as kang tables when the time comes!" Mo Yunfei added.
"Dad, I think it's a good idea, too!" Mo Xiaojie said.
"Dad, while Uncle Zhan is serving in the ceremonial room, it will be much easier for you to get the academy!" Mo Yunfei said.
Zhan Wenbin also said: "Yes, Dahe, you can settle down, this matter is very good!" Xiaofei is right, while I still have a little power now, I can get this thing done for you, if you put it in the future, you will have to spend money to find a way in the book of the ceremonial room, I tell you! As you said, you still have a lot of time. So that's a great idea! But Dahe, have you ever thought about taking the exam again? Zhan Wenbin asked.
"I kind of want to, but I don't dare to think about it! I've been out for more than a year, and I've almost forgotten! Mo Dahe said: "I read books by myself on weekdays, and I don't know if it's right!" ”
"If you don't want to run a school, otherwise you will go to study again, you are not too old to study at this age, and now your family has earned some money, which can support you for a few years!" Zhan Wenbin suggested.
"That's it! Wen Bin, I can't completely calm down my mind now! Mo Dahedao, glanced at Mo Yunfei and them, and didn't say the rest of the words: That is, I will always remember the children at home! Last year's hunger not only scared Su Sanmei, but also scared him!
"Uncle Zhan, if my father doesn't want to, forget it! Actually, I don't think there's any problem with my dad reading like this now, but you can't just do it behind closed doors, doesn't it mean that you have a talent for show, poetry, flower appreciation, debate and the like? Uncle Zhan, if you have a way, can you help my father also have a place, let my father listen to more famous explanations, listen to other people's ideas, and then become his own things, I think it's okay. Mo Yunfei suggested.
"This is naturally no problem, sometimes there will be some famous teachers who give lectures, I will also listen, it is indeed a great benefit, I will see if I can ask your father for a place! The rest is even simpler, I'll let you know when I get back, Dahe, you can just go and participate in it then. Zhan Wenbin agreed, which was not difficult for him.
"But Dahe, you still have to practice your writing, this can't be simply relied on you to read, you practice more, go back and give it to me, I'll let my grandfather help you see it!" Zhan Wenbin said.
Zhan Wenbin's grandfather, Zhan Luning, was a jinshi and worked as a teacher at Fucheng Liuguang Academy.
"Wen Bin, thank you so much!" Mo Dahe said gratefully.
"You're welcome, what's this? So will you participate in the autumn festival this time? Zhan Wenbin asked.
