In the blink of an eye, half of the first month has passed, and the construction of the literacy class in Zhoujia Village has come to an end.

In the past year, the annual income of the villagers in several surrounding villages has increased dozens of times, and in addition, Liu Yifan has given priority to those who are literate and numeracy, and has also arranged several people with excellent character and learning to work as internship tents in various places, which has greatly increased people's enthusiasm for participating in literacy eradication.

Therefore, there is no age limit for students to be enrolled in the literacy class this year, and when Liu Yifan convened a meeting of the village heads, he asked the village heads to go back and call on everyone to participate in the literacy eradication.

But literacy is no longer free!

Liu Yifan felt that he couldn't go on for free all the time, because the cost of teaching materials was still relatively high, according to the Chinese textbooks compiled by Luo Ying and Liu Yifan, a book with 68 pages, the cost would be 90 words, and if it was free for a long time, there were more and more students, and the imperial court was a little unbearable!

Therefore, this year's tuition is still free, but the textbook fee is 90 Wen and you have to bear it yourself.

In this regard, everyone is still a little unbalanced in their hearts, but there is no way, who told them not to seize the opportunity last year?

Although books are no longer free, parents are still willing to invest in order to have a better future for their children. There are a lot of people who have signed up for literacy this time, but there are still few middle-aged people who participate in literacy, and there are also many men in their twenties who have become families, and the students in this period have added up to one hundred and sixteen, and the younger students are all placed in Zhoujia Village, with a number of one hundred and two, divided into three classes, and another forty adult students, there is a class, which is placed in Choushuwan.

At the same time, the girls' literacy class here in Choushuwan also received nearly 20 students, and the teenage girls in several nearby villages added up to not three or four hundred, but also one or two hundred, but only 20 came to study.

Zhang Xiaoqian was excited, thinking that she would soon be a person with twenty students, and the whole person was like a chicken.

On the twentieth day of the first month, each class officially opened.

At the same time, ten villages, including Zhoujia Village, Choushuwan, Majia Village, Lijia Village, Wanjia Village, and Wangjiagou, have also begun to build roads. Organized and supervised by the village heads, the workers who build the roads are not paid 20 yuan a day, and the prisoners in the county jail also participate in the shackles, but they are not paid, but those who behave well and have a sense of remorse can also be given a little encouragement.

Everything is in full swing.

At the end of the month, Gong Xianghua, the county commander of Songshan County, visited him in person.

Now the living standards of the people in Xinglong County have improved so much, and they are building schools and roads, and last year's taxes have also increased many times, and his eyes are red! Thinking that if the area under his jurisdiction can also have this achievement, he can not only improve the official reputation, but also gain the favor of the big people in the capital, and more importantly, he can benefit the people, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

Liu Yifan did not hesitate at all, and spent 1,000 taels of silver to Gong Xianghua, asking him to repair the main road first, and not to build too many literacy classes, this matter must also be done step by step, step by step.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the children's exam.

These younger brothers in the family are also about to take the exam, and Liu Yifan took them to the county seat the afternoon before to live first.

"Hey, as soon as this person left, the house suddenly became much more deserted." Luo Ying said with emotion.

"No, you can usually hear Langlang reading at this time." Aunt Hong said, "I just hope that several young masters can pass this time." ”

"It's a bit difficult for me to get past it."

"The young lady is too unconfident in the young masters!" Mrs. Wu said.

Shi Xiaohan is full of blessings and the three of them have only been reading books for a long time, unless they are geniuses, it is strange that they can pass!

Aunt Hong said again: "Young lady, I think the second young master and the third young master (referring to Shaojie) will definitely be able to pass, do you want to celebrate when the time comes?" ”

"It's too early to say it now!" Luo Ying said, "Even if the county has tried, you still have to go to Fucheng to take the exam!" Even if you pass all of them, you are only a child, and you should not celebrate it in a big way, but just praise and encourage it verbally. ”

A week later, the results of the county test came out, Liu Yiming and Shaojie really passed, and the others really failed.

"Don't be discouraged, work hard for another year this year, and next year will definitely pass!" Luo Ying comforted the younger brothers who fell off the list.

Shaojie said: "That's it! Yiming and I enlightened earlier than you, that's why you will pass, you have worked hard for a year this year, and you will definitely be able to pass next year! ”

"Hmm!" Li Manfu nodded heavily, and secretly vowed in his heart that he must study hard.

"It doesn't matter if it's over, I still like to practice kung fu." Niu Junsheng said proudly, "Now I am the best kung fu in our group!" ”

"I'm going to take the exam in Fucheng at the end of next month, and after that, I will be able to do it, don't be complacent." Zhao Lao said, "Why don't you hurry up and practice calligraphy?" ”

A few small ones hurriedly ran back to the study.

"Yingzi, Yingzi."

Grandma Li's cheerful shouts came from outside the door.

"Grandma, what's the matter, so happy?"

Grandma Li smiled and said, "I'm here to tell you that your good luck Uncle Luck has set a good day, and it will be on the twenty-eighth of this month." ”

"So fast?" It's a staggering speed.

Grandma Li said: "And your uncle's marriage is always not going well, I want to do it early, get married early, and I can rest assured as soon as possible, how can I do it without a woman who knows cold and hot around me?" ”

Hong smiled and said, "Oops, congratulations. ”

Li Haoyun's lifelong event, Grandma Li has always remembered, and after fifteen, she asked the matchmaker to go to Wanjia Village to inquire about Wanhong's situation.

Later, as soon as I heard that Wan Hong had not remarried now, and the Li family was now in good condition, the Wan family couldn't ask for it, and Wan Hong was not allowed to nod herself, so the Wan family made the decision, and the marriage date of the two was quickly set.

The Li family is now also a well-known family in the neighborhood, and I don't know how many people are staring at it! Wan Hong's remarriage and marriage to Li Haoyun quickly spread throughout several nearby villages, and the Wan family's waist pole was also stiffened, boasting everywhere that Wan Hong had received a bride price of six taels and eight for remarriage and a pair of silver bracelets and a pair of silver hairpins, which made people envious to death.

"Ah Hong, you can be regarded as falling into the nest of blessings, I heard that the Li family's dowry gave six taels and eight silver hairpins and silver bracelets! Isn't it? ”

"Ah Hong, you have to take care of us more in the future!"

"Yes! The Li family is close to Lord Liu's family, and there is business in the family, so if you recruit people in the future, you have to think about us first. ”

.........

After all, she hadn't married yet, Wan Hong was really embarrassed to answer, smiled and walked away.

Today's Wan family is held by people wherever they go, and all kinds of compliments are said, which makes Luo Juxiang, who lives in Heizi's house in Wanjia Village, very unhappy.

Silver, bracelets, hairpins, all this should have belonged to her!

Luo Juxiang stared gloomily at Wan Hong's back, the more she thought about it, the more unbalanced it became, and then a vicious thought arose......
