Chapter 103: The village wants to run a school
"I thought your mother should be able to eat it, but if you want to eat it again, you won't be able to eat it." Qiao Mo'er said with a smile.
When he came back from the mountain last night, Liu Zening picked two or three handfuls, saying that some of the ripe ones on the trees fell to the ground and were eaten by insects and ants, and there was nothing left on the trees.
"However, there are also peaches, your mother should be able to eat them." The peach is a kind of hairy peach, which is the size of an egg when it grows to the maximum, does not turn red, and has a sweet and sour taste, but it cannot be eaten yet.
"My mother ate that fish soup, and my father went to the town today to buy two fish, saying that he would make up for my mother." Thinking of her father's distressed appearance towards her mother, Zhao Qiuer couldn't help laughing.
"Mo'er, there's something you shouldn't know yet." After chatting, Zhao Qiu'er leaned into Qiao Mo'er's ear, lowered her voice and said, "Mr. Kong, who built a house next to your house, wants to run a school in our village." ”
"Running a school?" Qiao Mo'er was stunned, "How do you know?" ”
"It's my father, when I went to the town to buy fish today, I met Mr. Kong on the road, and I heard him discussing the establishment of the school with the people around him." For fear that others would hear it, Qiao Mo'er, who had a small voice, was almost inaudible.
"My father said that the village didn't make a sound, and the village chief shouldn't know yet, so let me stop talking nonsense, I just told you."
"Then I'm really impressed."
Looking at her expression I only told you, you must not tell others, Qiao Mo'er poked her forehead funny.
However, that Mr. Kong wants to run a school in the village...
If it's true –
This Mr. Kong's temperament is not like ordinary people, he has not read books for decades, and he does not have that kind of Confucian temperament, not to mention the children around him, just the two people behind him, the breath on his body is not something that ordinary people can have.
These people must be from a lot of background...
It's just that those have nothing to do with her.
If the school is really set up in the village, and Mr. Kong builds the house to the west of her house, the school will definitely open here.
She originally planned to send Qiao Xu and the three of them to the school in the autumn, but there was a school at the door of her house, so why did they let them run to the town?
This is a good thing for Qiao Moer.
Zhao Qiu'er didn't lie to her, when the houses were halfway built, the village chief summoned the whole village to hold a meeting, mainly to say that the village was going to run a school.
"This Mr. Kong used to be a university scholar, and now he has nothing to do when he returns to his hometown, so he wants to teach a few students. Everyone knows that scholars have a lot of talent, so to build this school, the village people have to pay for it. ”
"What, do you want the people in the village to pay for it?" Suddenly some people were not happy.
Liu Jian frowned, looked at the unwilling person, and snorted, "This school is a big deal, and our village is the first one in ten miles and eight villages." We don't force everyone to pay, after the money is paid, the children in the family go to school, and the bundle will be halved, and those who don't pay will be tied by half. ”
"Why?"
"It's up to you to build a school if you don't pay for it."
Those people who were stunned by Liu Jian's words were speechless.
Next, those who paid the money paid the money, and those who didn't want to pay the money also paid for the sake of the children, and Qiao Mo'er also asked Qiao Xu to pay one or two.
"Sister, master."
On the way home, Dou'er pulled Qiao Mo'er's arm and pointed to the east.
Qiao Mo'er looked up and saw Old Man Qiao going to the village chief's house, I hadn't seen him for a few days, Old Man Qiao's face was wrinkled, and his always straight spine was also a little bent, looking like an old dragon clock.
At the same time that they saw Old Man Qiao, Old Man Qiao also saw them, his face stiffened, and the corners of his mouth opened a smile that he thought was kind, but before the words could be spoken, he saw that Qiao Mo'er had already left with Dou'er.
Old Man Qiao only felt that his throat was a little astringent, and finally shook his head and went to the village chief's house, where he paid three hundred yuan.
