Chapter 189: Admission
Seeing that spring is coming, the school in Kapok Village has opened. Some of the school-age children are carrying school bags to school. Mother Wang has been looking forward to Xiaowen and Xiaowu going to school, but she is worried about the money in her hand.
Seeing the beginning of spring, I have to be busy with the work in the fields. There is only one source of income in the family, Liang Zhaodi, and if the two younger brothers go to school, it will undoubtedly increase the burden on Liang Zhaodi.
"Third aunt, Xiaowen and Xiaowu are not enrolled in school this year!" It was Makusa who spoke, and she came to the village to pick up the newly enrolled children.
Mother Wang dragged one in one hand and said with a smile: "How much silver do we have to collect for a child!" ”
"Third aunt, except for my husband's daily teaching, I eat there at noon, and a child is two taels of silver a quarter," Mu Cao said, and the dozen or so children following behind him were chattering and noisy.
Two taels of silver? Xiaowen and Xiaowu's words, that is four taels of silver, and in the spring, they have to buy seeds, and the family's monthly expenses are three taels of silver. In this case, the cost of living plus the tuition fee is seven taels of silver, and the cost of the necessities used in spring plowing is more than ten taels of silver......
Seeing the embarrassment on Wang's face, Mu Cao said with a smile: "This is my niece" She was holding a small child in her hand, which was the eldest granddaughter of the old Mu family, and said: "She entered the school, and there was no cashier in the school."
"Why?" Wang asked with a puzzled expression, there is such a good thing.
"Because my father is a talent in the school, in charge of running the school, and also teaches these children some words on weekdays, my father and I have contributed to the school, so we can exempt a child's school fee" Mu Cao said this, a little embarrassed to say: "I don't have a child yet, so this place is given to my niece."
"Oh!" Mother Wang nodded, this is good.
"Auntie, your family Zhaodi is also literate and hyphenated, it is better to let her come to the school to teach, so that you can meet a child's tuition" Seeing that Wang was a little thoughtful, Mu Cao continued: "If Tu Wangsun also comes, he has no children, and he can also let a baby enter the ......hall for free."
Mu Cao closed his mouth, everything that should have been said had been said, what was muttering in Wang's mouth? Holding the hands of the two children, he ran back. If this is the case, Xiaowen and Xiaowu will be able to enroll, and they will be exempted from the money for going to school, and Wang's heart will be happy.
Back at home, her mother Wang couldn't sit still anymore and waited at the gate for Liang Zhaodi to come back. There was some excitement on her face, four taels of silver! Four taels of silver......
"Mother! Why don't you go in, let's stand outside? Liang Zhaodi asked
Mother Wang's face was a little excited, she stepped forward and took Liang Zhaodi's hand and entered the house excitedly. also deliberately poured a cup of tea for Liang Zhaodi, and watched Liang Zhaodi finish drinking, her mother Wang said: "Zhaodi, I see that you are a girl's family, busy with business all day long, and it is not safe to run outside all day long, it is not safe, it is better to come back to teach in the village school!" ”
"Teaching?"
"Yes, you and the kings and grandsons are going to teach!" Mother Wang, told Liang Zhaodi about the benefits of teaching one by one, he was respected and could save money, Liang Zhaodi was a little tempted when he heard it. Mother is to save four taels of silver so that she can come back to teach?
"Niang'er, even if I am willing to go, Wang Sun may not be willing!" ……
