Because of the arrival of Mrs. Li, the women's school was finally officially opened, and after extensive publicity, Mrs. Li was responsible for registration, but after the two-day registration time was over, there were less than ten female students who came to study.

Looking at the name that was not even written on a piece of paper, Jiang Weilan was slightly disappointed.

"What? Feel like there's a gap in your heart? Mrs. Li asked with a slight smile.

Jiang Weilan nodded, and didn't say much, she really felt that there was a gap, and she originally thought that because the school had been running very smoothly, with these foundations, after the opening of the women's school, even if not all the female dolls could come to study, there would be at least thirty or forty people.

But the current situation is that there are less than ten people, which is too far from what she expected. Why do these people accept their sons to study, but refuse to send their daughters to study? Jiang Weilan was a little puzzled, whether it was a son or a daughter, she would be able to create wealth for her family in the future.

"Actually, this is also something that can be thought of, the Northwest is not full of learning, and your school can be run because you will invest a lot of money in it every day, if it weren't for the preferential conditions you gave to the students in the school, I'm afraid there won't be so many people in the school. After all, let the child work, and now you can make money, and you don't have to spend the cost of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Mrs. Li's expression was always with a calm and indifferent smile.

Jiang Weilan couldn't laugh, she knew that what Mrs. Li said was the truth, those children could study, it was indeed because they had invested a lot of money on their side, and those children who came to study not only did not spend money, but some could even make money for the family.

However, the women's school is clearly the same condition, since they can let their son study, why can't they let their daughter study?

"Weilan, you have to think about this matter, those boys may not be able to be supported by their families to study, let alone girls? Even if these female dolls have learned things, they will make money from this in the future, but they are not making money for their in-laws? How many can help my mother's family? With that, Mrs. Li sighed leisurely.

Jiang Weilan was stunned, but because of Mrs. Li's reminder, she also figured it out, it is true, girls will get married when they start making money at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and the people who have been trained so hard will make money for other people's families, and no one will be too happy to change them.

It's better to let your daughter help the family work now, although she makes less money, she can earn a little more.

"Weilan, my father is a showman, he decided to let me study like my brother and brothers, but because of this, my father was squeezed by others." Mrs. Li said self-deprecatingly: "Do you know, in other places, talented women may be a compliment, but in the northwest, this represents a kind of incompatibility." ”

At that time, because her father taught her to read, she didn't know how much gossip was said, she had been trying to change this situation for so many years, but she had no more energy to spare, and now she finally had this opportunity, and she was willing to work hard like Weilan.

Although there are less than ten students now, but after a long time, this situation will always change, and when that day comes, women can also read and write, maybe one day in the future, women can also read, and they can also take the top prize to become an official?

Jiang Weilan never thought that the people in the northwest were so fierce and did not pay much attention to the place, but they were actually in such a backward state, in fact, before this, she had always felt that the status of women in the northwest should be higher, after all, no one said no.

But only today did she realize that everything was fundamentally different from what she thought.

"Let's do this first, let's wait and see, maybe in a few months, some people want to open it?"

Jiang Weilan nodded, what Mrs. Li said made sense, but she was too eager to get it done, her son was studying, and most of the people had the idea that they could get their family out of slavery, and if her daughter was sent to study, it would be somewhat uneconomical.

Fortunately, Mrs. Li is still very confident in this, as long as she can insist on coming for a while, the situation will also improve, just like when she first opened the school, didn't the boys only come six? So much for now.

After leaving the women's school, Jiang Weilan put this matter in the back of his mind for the time being, after all, this is the status quo, not something that can be changed in a moment, instead of being entangled in this matter all the time, it is better to think about something else.

For example, the weather right now!

The weather is getting drier and drier day by day, even though it is autumn, the sun is still scorching and almost suffocating, the leaves on the mountains are listless, and the grass on the ground has long since wilted, and there is no vitality at all.

Jiang Weilan walked all the way along the winding field path, intending to see how his family's vegetables were now.

The autumn vegetables have not been planted for a long time, and they have been watered once before, but now they still look a little wilted, and the vegetables that were not tall are now even smaller, lying on the ground softly.

Jiang Weilan looked a little distressed, how much effort she had put into these vegetables, but she didn't expect them to be able to grow now.

From this, she thought that the vegetables on the Zhuangzi can be watered, and this is still the case, but you can imagine what the crops outside the Zhuangzi that can't see water at all and rely on the sky to eat will look like now, the situation will definitely not be better than this, it will only be worse than this!

"Miss, are you here? Recently, these dishes have been a little wilted, and the weather is too hot. Lao Liu was working in the potato field, raised his head and wiped a handful of sweat beads, just when he saw Jiang Weilan coming over, he straightened up and asked.

He is a farmer, and he is really distressed to see the crops in the field wilt day by day. I was busy in the vegetable field all day long, thinking about trying to save these dying vegetables.

If there is anything that comforts him now, it is that the potato seedlings in the field are still good. Maybe it's really like what the young lady said, these potatoes are the most drought-tolerant, and in such a dry environment, they are the least affected.

Jiang Weilan looked at the potatoes not far away and found that the growth of the seedlings was good, so he felt a little relieved.

Fortunately, the growth of these potatoes is not bad, as long as these potatoes can get a bumper harvest, their efforts this year are not in vain, as for the income on the Zhuangzi, only the vegetables in the first half of the year can also be guaranteed, at least not to lose.

"You're experienced, and you can probably tell if it's going to rain lately." Jiang Weilan looked at the blue sky without even a trace of clouds, and said worriedly.
