Chapter 47 Cost of Schooling

readx;? The day before yesterday, she heard from the people in the village that there were many big shopkeepers in the town who came to give Ziluo and them New Year's gifts, and she was a little convinced that they would send Zishu and them to school. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Now she listens to Aunt Chen and Chen Gao's talking about their son who is studying, and it would be false to say that she doesn't have a trace of envy!!

Therefore, she thought that if Ziluo and their situation could also send Zishu and them to study, then why didn't she send the bolt to study, compared to Ziluo, she was not so scared, after all, her family was not as burdened as Ziluo's family, and they all dared to send Zishu and Brother Zishu to private school, so why should she be afraid, didn't she have a few children who had the guts.

People are like this, what she didn't dare to do, when she sees that people who are not as good as her dare to do it, she will look at the possibility of this matter anew.

After Ziniang finished speaking, she looked at Ziwei expectantly, looking forward to Ziwei's answer.

"I have this plan, after all, Zishu and Zixuan are not young, and if they drag it out, I'm afraid they will be delayed. Ziwei said truthfully.

Ziwei's words are like a stone thrown into a calm lake, which can be described as a stone that stirs up a thousand waves!

Aunt Chen, Jiang Lin's, and Chen Gao's were all stunned when they heard this, just now when they saw Ziwei asked Ziwei, they were very surprised, and now they are even more surprised to get Ziwei's affirmative answer!

Ziluo couldn't help but feel a little funny when she saw that several aunts were washing vegetables around the big plate, and each of their mouths was open enough to stuff an egg.

"Sister Wei, you have to think about this carefully! Auntie knows that you have some income recently, but going to a private school is a big expense. You can't just spend all the money for food just to send them to study. ”

Ziluo listened to Chen Gao's words, and felt more and more that something was wrong. It sounded like she was thinking about them from beginning to end, but why did she always feel that there was something wrong with it? Yes, Chen Gao's words carried some contempt for their brothers and sisters, feeling that they were incompetent, and there was some condescending meaning.

"How much restraint does it take to go to a private school?" asked the bolt girl anxiously.

"This year's restraint is two taels of silver, but this is not the bulk of the money, the real place to use a lot of money is to sell books and pen and ink, Brother Qing uses pen and ink money for a year to pay more than a dozen taels of silver. Chen Gao looked arrogant and authentic.

"That's it!!I'm still thinking about sending the bolt to a private school. The bolt gasped.

"It's not that we have to spend so much money to buy books and pen and ink every year, I remember that when we first went to the private school, we only used four or five taels of silver a year to buy pen and ink and books, because there were not many books to buy at the beginning. In the past two years, I have to buy more books and pen and ink, and I need about seven or eight taels of silver a year. Brother Qing is the one who is preparing to take the Xiucai exam, so he has more books to buy. Aunt Chen saw the frightened look on her face, so she couldn't bear to explain.

In fact, it's no wonder that the bolt mother will be so surprised, because the average farmer's income is only about ten taels of silver all year round, which is still under the premise of hard work, active short-term work during the slack time, and in addition to the family's food expenses, it would be good to have three or four taels of silver left a year, which is also under the premise of no illness and no pain, no need to see a doctor, so there are not many people who can really afford their children to go to private school.

Take the private school in Ziluo's village as an example! The children from the three nearby villages all go to their village's private school, but there are less than 40 children who can come to the private school.

"Then Tie Dan Niang, won't the money you kill pigs today be used as the cost of Tie Dan's study?" asked the Bolt Niang.

"Almost! These three pigs should have six or seven taels of silver in addition to what they want to keep and give favors, and with the output of some fields, the cost of a year's study for Tie Dan is about the same. ”

"That's right, next year we will also raise some pigs to make money to use as a bondage for the bolt, plus the output of the family's fields, we should be able to reluctantly send the bolt to the private school. Then I'll go back and discuss it with Lao Gao again. "The bolt mother inquired clearly, and she was also a little moved.

Aunt Chen's family is richer than the average family in the village, her family has more than 20 acres of paddy fields, more than 10 acres more than others, plus the couple are diligent, in addition to the output in the field and the income from raising pigs, plus Uncle Chen usually does some short-term work and some other income, so they can provide for Tie Dan to study.

But now that their youngest son has reached the age of enlightenment, they also have to consider sending it to a private school, they can send a son to a private school, but it will be a little difficult to send two sons, and the eldest daughter will also get married next year, they still have to prepare a dowry, and in a few years, Tie Dan will marry a daughter-in-law again, which will cost money.

Although Aunt Chen usually scolds Tie Zhu for not wanting to go to a private school, everyone in the family also knows that if she sends Tie Zhu to a private school, it will be difficult for their family to have savings, and then it will be difficult to handle major family affairs. In fact, she also knew that Tie Zhu didn't like to read as much as he showed, and he probably knew the situation at home, but he just didn't want to make it difficult for his father and mother.

Aunt Chen felt indebted to her youngest son every time she thought of this, and the couple sighed a lot for it.

Now, she heard that the bolt mother and Ziwei said that they were going to send the bolt to a private school, and when she thought of Tie Zhu and Zixuan, the bolt was the same age, she couldn't help but feel a little moved.

I also discussed with Lao Chen to see if I could also send the pillar to a private school, so that the boys could have a companion. Aunt Chen said.

She thought that Ziwei and the others were also planning to send Zishu and them to private school, although she knew that Zishu and they had made some money recently, but she was still a little worried that the children would not be able to live and use all the money to study.

So she asked Ziwei with concern: "Sister Wei, have you really decided to send Brother Shu and them to a private school?

"If there is no accident, I will send Zishu and them to private school next year, and if I wait any longer, Zishu and their age will be old. My father and mother always hoped that Zishu and them could go to private school. Ziwei said.

Aunt Chen was also very emotional when she heard Ziwei say this: "Yes, my younger brother and sister used to cry and say that her illness had delayed Brother Shu'er and them. You can send Brother Shu and them to private school, which is your mother's wish. My aunt also decided, even if I smash the pot and sell iron, I will send them to the private school, and I can't delay them. Aunt Chen saw that Ziwei and the others were so resolute, and her heart also ignited her determination to send them to the private school.

"That is, our parents' thrift is for the sake of our children's income, so that we are satisfied as parents. The bolt mother also felt the same way.

For a while, several aunts were embarrassed!

"Sister Wei, have you made a lot of money lately?" After a while, Jiang Lin asked with a curious expression. She felt that Ziluo and the others must have made some money by sending two of them to private school in one go.

"That's not true, we just send rabbits to Liuxianglou in these two months, and occasionally send some hunted pheasants, and we can have more than one or two silver a month. Ziwei said.

Ziluo was still worried about Ziwei just now, afraid that she would not be able to cope with it, but now she is relieved when she hears Ziwei say this. Unexpectedly, Ziwei has learned a lot more recently, and she knows how to deal with other people's temptations.

"In this case, then you can save some money and send them to study. Zi Niang was surprised by Zishu's ability, in this way, their annual income is also more than ten or twenty taels of silver, and she also thinks that Ziwei and they have this income to send Zishu and them to private school.

Aunt Chen also echoed and praised Ziwei for their ability.

"The day before yesterday, did your family come to many big shopkeepers in the town to give you gifts for many years?" Jiang Lin was still full of curiosity about Ziluo's income.

"Aunt Jiang is talking about Uncle Zhou?" Ziluo pretended to be ignorant and asked, then counted with his fingers, and said, "Uncle Zhou, he came to thank us and let him know how persimmons are delicious, and he also came to our village last time." There is also Shopkeeper Liu, the eldest brother, they sent them rabbits.

Finally, there is the horse shopkeeper of Jufangzhai, because some of the dim sum we made before made their dim sum master was ordered, so he also came to thank us, and the eldest brother said that the horse shopkeeper was too polite. There are only three families here that give us New Year's gifts, and everyone knows them, and there are not many big shopkeepers who give us New Year's gifts!"

Ziluo was afraid that Ziwei would not know how to deal with it, after all, this topic was really difficult to deal with and it was difficult to explain. She was just a child, she said it vaguely, and it was not easy for the Jiang Lin family to ask how many things they had given them.

Ziluo knew that they couldn't hide their money-making from the people in the village, after all, they all had to take it out, but they had to wait for a suitable time and a reasonable way to make money to explain their income, so that they could let everyone know that they had made a lot of money.

"In this way, I thought that there were many big shopkeepers who gave New Year's gifts to your family, but it seems that the people in the village miscommunicated it. However, your brothers and sisters are all capable and lucky, so you should have a lot of dealings with those big shopkeepers, and in the future, maybe you can help your brothers and sisters a lot. I heard Dafeng say that these big shopkeepers are all well-known figures in the town, and ordinary people can't easily contact them, so it's rare for you to get into their blue eyes, but you have to cherish this hard-won opportunity. ”

Jiang Lin's family heard Ziluo say this, and knew that the people in the village said that there were more than a dozen big shopkeepers who came to Ziluo's house, which was everyone's misinformation, after all, Ziluo was just a child, how could he lie to them.

She originally wanted to ask Ziluo what the big shopkeepers had given them, but now that she saw Ziluo counting them one by one, where was she embarrassed to interrogate a child. In order to relieve the embarrassment, she could only kindly remind Ziluo of them, which could be regarded as an apology for the tentative behavior just now.

"Yes, Sister Wei, you have to have a good relationship with them, and your brothers and sisters will also have a backstage in the future. Although Aunt Chen didn't like Jiang Lin's scouting of their details, she also admitted that Jiang Lin's words were right.
