Chapter 49 The beginning of school
Yang Xiaotao bought two sets of pen, ink, paper and inkstones that the shop took out after Xiao Er, and after paying, Qiuluo hugged the set that belonged to him tightly, and his eyes were full of joy.
Afraid that he would be tired of holding a child like this, Yang Xiaotao motioned for Yuwen Xiu to help carry it, Qiuluo shook his head and said stubbornly, "Don't be tired, I can take it myself." ”
Yang Xiaotao was helpless, this child should really like it, so she didn't persuade her, and told her that if she couldn't take it, she would tell her.
Le'er also learned Qiuluo and wanted to hold it by herself, but after walking for a while, she pouted and said, "It's so heavy, Le'er can't hold it." After speaking, he looked at Yang Xiaotao pitifully.
Hearing this, Yuwenxiu raised her hand to take the wooden box containing pen, ink, paper and inkstone in Le'er's hand, Yang Xiaotao looked at Yuwenxiu, and then turned her head to look at Qiuluo, Qiuluo was just a six-year-old doll, and fine beads of sweat had appeared on her forehead, she raised her hand to take the wooden box in Qiuluo's hand, and directly stuffed it into Yuwenxiu's arms, Qiuluo wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yang Xiaotao's gaze.
Then a few people went to the ready-to-wear shop and picked two pieces of fabric suitable for spring buds, and the weather was warm, so the star fruit picked cotton cloth suitable for spring wear.
"Autumn fall, what color cloth do you like?" Yang Xiaotao asked the shopkeeper to wrap the cloth she had just picked, and then turned her head to look at the quiet autumn fall.
Qiuluo's eyes have been following Le'er, Le'er has a more lively temperament, and she always runs to see interesting and novel things.
Yang Xiaotao saw that Qiuluo didn't seem to hear her, so she followed Qiuluo's gaze and saw that Le'er was curiously fiddling with the finished clothes in the shop not far away.
"Autumn fall?" Yang Xiaotao screamed softly again.
Qiuluo turned his head here, "Huh? ”
Yang Xiaotao asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with Qiuluo?" ”
Qiuluo still said with a straight face, "I'll look at Le'er, so that she won't be taken away by the bad guys." ”
Yang Xiaotao was stunned, but then smiled and said, "What color cloth does Qiuluo like?" But I thought in my heart, this child is so careful, I am afraid that it is because of the last time Le'er was arrested, and he still has palpitations.
"Ma'am, I can do it all." After Qiuluo finished speaking, he turned his head to look in the direction of Le'er.
Yang Xiaotao shook her head helplessly, this child didn't look like a child at all, it was too boring, so she picked it up by herself.
Yuwen Xiu stepped forward and said, "I came in a hurry this time, and I didn't change my clothes." ”
Yang Xiaotaojiao glared at Yuwen Xiudao, "Let Bai Ye go back and get it for you, that's it." ”
"It's too much trouble, why don't you make two clothes with me?" Yuwen Xiu simply put his face to the side of Yang Xiaotao's small face and said.
Yang Xiaotao was a little nervous by Yu Wenxiu's sudden face, the warm breath was so close to him, and Yang Xiaotao's little face was slightly red.
Suddenly getting so close, Yang Xiaotao pushed Yuwen Xiu a little uncomfortably, and said embarrassedly, "Got it." ”
The shopkeeper looked at the two and smiled, "You husband and wife have a really good relationship, I have been open for so long, and it is rare to see a husband and wife accompany their daughter-in-law to pick up cloth." After saying that, the shopkeeper gently covered her mouth with a handkerchief, but the smile on her face was obvious.
As soon as Yang Xiaotao wanted to explain something, her shoulder was hooked by Yuwen's slender arm on the side, and she smiled and said to the shop owner, "That's natural." ”
This made the shopkeeper's smiling face take on a hint of envy.
After that, Yang Xiaotao had no choice but to choose the cloth by herself, for Le'er, for herself, for Qiuluo, and Yuwenxiu, and when checking out, the proprietress of the store also gave a discount.
Qiuluo's clothes have always been made by Chunya, most of Le'er and her own clothes are made by Aunt Zhao, she has studied for so long, that is, she is a half-hanger, and occasionally makes two on a whim, Yang Xiaotao wrinkled her little face and thought about Yuwenxiu's clothes, what should she do, she has never made a man's clothes, so she can't let Aunt Zhao do it.
It is now early spring, and every household in the village is busy plowing the land, raking and leveling, digging ditches, leveling, opening small ditches, applying fertilizer, sowing seeds, and a series of things to be busy.
Yang Xiaotao also went to the land she bought to see, all of them are good paddy fields, if there is no drought this year, the harvest should be very good.
During this time, the villagers were busy, but the private school was still open as usual.
Yang Xiaotao specially went to the college, and the private school was built at the east end of the village, that is, at the end of the village, looking at a large room in Mingtangtang, where the tables and chairs used by the children when they were studying.
Yang Xiaotao looked at the private school in front of her, which was extremely simple compared to modern schools, a lonely house, simply enclosed with mud walls.
Wait for it to be improved in the future, because of Le'er's matter a while ago, Yang Xiaotao didn't pay much attention to the private school, shook her head and left, so she could only wait for it to be slowly repaired in the future.
Yang Xiaotao found Hu Hai again in the past two days, she didn't know how to teach in ancient times, Hu Hai told her, basically beginners, generally start from the three-character classic, the surname of a hundred families, and the thousand-character text, mainly to teach children to read, and if students want to read these books, they have to buy them themselves.
It turns out that reading here is to prepare books by yourself, and Mr. teaches all in the classroom, and the topics assigned by Mr. are modern homework, and they will also ask questions in class on the second day, that is to say, there is more time left for students to study on their own, and Mr. teaches just some dead things, and how to understand these things depends on the students themselves.
Yang Xiaotao thinks that the modern teaching method is better, the types are very comprehensive, and you can also find out which subject the child likes in time.
Yang Xiaotao thought that she must teach according to the modern teaching model in the future, but now she knows only a limited number of people, and the money in her hand is also limited, so she has to continue to work hard to achieve her goal.
Yang Xiaotao prepared a small schoolbag for Le'er, so that it was convenient for Le'er to bring things to school, Chunya felt novel, and also made one for Qiuluo.
Yang Xiaotao took her two children to the private school early, today is the first day of school, and every household in the village is leading the children to the direction of the private school, and their faces are full of excitement.
Le'er carried Yang Xiaotao to make her a small pink schoolbag, bouncing in front, and Qiuluo still followed her quietly.
Along the way, many people saw Yang Xiaotao and greeted them warmly.
"Hello Dean!" The villagers don't call Yang Xiaotao by name now, they call them the dean directly, and some call them Dean Yang.
Yang Xiaotao nodded politely to the villagers, and from time to time beckoned Le'er in front of her to walk carefully and run slowly.
When I arrived at the gate of the academy, there was a plaque hanging on the gate of the courtyard, which was a little out of place with this small courtyard, which was prepared by Yang Xiaotao, and the words on it were also inscribed by her, the word school.
At first, everyone didn't quite understand, other private schools were written about a certain academy, and Hu Hai saw it, thought about it, his eyes lit up and said, this school is an excellent use of the word "ah", learning words is to imitate, study knowledge, the meaning of gaining knowledge, the school is a garden, the meaning of long, doesn't it mean that this is a place to specialize in knowledge? Wonderful.
Yang Xiaotao was a little embarrassed to be praised by him at the time, she just thought that the place where she used to study was called a school, and the village chief asked her to name the college, so she wrote these two words.
After arriving at the school, there were already many villagers gathered inside, all standing at the gate of the courtyard, each family led the children in their hands, some led one, some received two, there were boys and girls, everyone was very excited.
The village chief stood at the door and said something to Hu Hai, and when he saw Yang Xiaotao coming, he immediately greeted, "Dean Yang is here, you come here to announce that the school in our Xiaoxi Village is open, and everyone can't wait to take the children in." ”
Yang Xiaotao smiled and led Le'er and Qiuluo to step forward and said, "This matter, the village chief just said it, why wait for me?" ”
"Then how to make it, it's up to you!" The village chief immediately waved his hand and said, it is a very decent thing for the village chief to build a private school, and his face has already bloomed.
The village chief immediately beckoned the people present to calm down and wait for Yang Xiaotao to speak.
Yang Xiaotao no longer shirked and said loudly, "The school in our Xiaoxi Village will open today, and in the future, every child in our village can come here to study for free, I hope the children can cherish this opportunity to learn and become the pillars of my dynasty in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause, and the college in Xiaoxi Village was officially opened, and two strings of red firecrackers were placed at the gate of the courtyard, and the sound was extremely loud.
The villagers led their children to the academy, and Yang Xiaotao was just about to lead Le'er and Qiuluo into the courtyard gate, when a strange voice of yin and yang came.
"Yo, it's so lively!"
Yang Xiaotao looked for prestige, and saw a few figures, Huang took Li Xi'er, and her grandson Shengzi, and there was a pair of young men and women next to her, the female Yang Xiaotao also knew her, it was Qinghe who met that day, Yang Xiaotao guessed that the man on the side should be Li Ming.
"Qiuluo will go in first with Le'er, good." Yang Xiaotao lowered her head and whispered to Qiuluo.
After watching Qiuluo drag Le'er's little hand into the courtyard, Yang Xiaotao looked at the few people who suddenly appeared.
The faces of the village chief and Hu Hai on the side also dimmed, and there were still some villagers watching the excitement on the side.
Yang Xiaotao looked at Hu Hai and said, "Mr. Hu, you go in first and take the children to class." ”
When Hu Hai heard this, he was about to turn around and enter the courtyard, but was stopped by Li Xi'er and said, "You are not allowed to go, this is also your business." ”
Hu Hai stopped his movements, looked at Li Xi'er and asked, "Excuse me, what are you looking for me?" ”
A few people on the other side didn't talk, just when Hu Hai was a little embarrassed.
"Village chief, you are not kind like this, you use Xiucai from other villages as a gentleman, and you don't need to be Li Ming of my family, are you crowding out my family?" Huang said harshly.
The village chief's face was even more unsightly, but he didn't need to use the people in his own village, so he was indeed a little unreasonable.
Yang Xiaotao looked at the few people in front of her coldly, this Li family is really ghostly.
"This is my academy, and it is naturally up to me to decide who to use as a gentleman." Yang Xiaotao sneered unceremoniously.
When the village chief saw Yang Xiaotao open his mouth, he immediately said, "Yes, now this academy belongs to Dean Yang, and naturally Dean Yang decides everything." "This kind of thing, naturally, can't be taken care of him, he is the village head, and he must put the interests of the village first.
"Yo, build a small broken house and put a name, it's the academy? Also Dean Yang. Li Xi'er glanced at the small academy in front of her, with a disgusted expression on her face.
Yang Xiaotao didn't feel a trace of emotion in her voice, and said lightly, "Since you look down on my little academy, then you should not come here to say hello when you come over with a large family today!" ”
