At this moment, the patriarch of Lujia Village, who was seventy or eighty, pushed the door in Lu Sanxing.

I was just about to ask you the reason, you came, Qin Yu said in his heart. However, before he could speak, the old patriarch's movement made him stunned, only to see the old patriarch take out something from his sleeve, and respectfully hand it to Qin Yu and said, "Mr. Qin, this is the bundle of silver that the village gave you this month." There are only two taels of silver, and I hope Mr. will not be too little. ”

"It's these two taels of silver, which the villagers pulled out from between their teeth."

This white and gray thing is silver!?

Qin Yu glared: they were still using silver as currency to circulate?

If you have it, you can use silver, at least they don't use shells as currency. There are still primitive tribes of slash-and-burn farming in this world, and it is not surprising that there is now a village that pays the bills with silver. Qin Yu comforted himself.

The price of sterling silver is now thirty yuan a gram, and two taels of silver is three thousand yuan, and the broken silver he gave does not know which dynasty it belongs to, and it is estimated that it is also an antique when taken out.

Very speechless, he pushed the silver forward: "Old man patriarch, now there is nine years of compulsory education outside, in other words, you don't need to pay me tuition fees when I teach." ”

"Don't charge money? How can this work? The old patriarch was stunned for a moment and muttered to himself.

Qin Yu saw that he didn't accept it, and directly put the silver back in his hand, "You give me money now, doesn't this make me make a mistake, and I will be found out from above to cancel my teaching qualification." ”

"In that case, then the old decay will accept it." Hearing Qin Yu say that he was afraid of the above investigation, he mistakenly thought that Qin Yu was afraid of the local county order, thinking that this was the county order in order to let the village chief surnamed Huang give them benefits, so he withdrew his arms.

"May I ask the patriarch, old man, why is it almost night, only three children have signed up, and there is not a single girl?" Qin Yu asked.

"Probably because they don't want to come, they don't want their children to study, and the old man can't force the villagers to ......," the patriarch said in a hesitant voice, unwilling to reveal the truth, "The old man said goodbye. ”

After saying that, he left directly.

This...... Qin Yu was surprised.

Only three students? Looking at the few three-line registrations on the roster, Qin Yu fell into deep thought, "Not letting their children go to school, it seems that parents don't want to let their families lose a labor force, after all, they can't help with farm work when they go to school, and this situation has also occurred in remote mountainous areas in the past." Moreover, their patriarchal mentality is also extremely serious, thinking that girls will marry sooner or later, and there is no need to waste money to send them to school. ”

"As a volunteer teacher, the essential purpose of volunteer teaching is to bring modern civilization and scientific concepts to poor mountain villages, and I must help them eradicate this feudal dross mentality."

"It's just that now it seems that it is a bit difficult to bring civilization to Lujia Village, after all, this village is still paying with silver."

"They still use silver, is it true that the nearby market is also using silver?" Suddenly, an extremely serious question came into his mind, "I didn't receive the silver from the patriarch just now, I'm afraid I'm going to run out of food soon!" ”

"There is no mobile phone signal in Lujia Village, and I can't pay with my mobile phone if I want to buy things, and I don't even have electricity, and my mobile phone is about to lose power. is so backward that there must be no place to withdraw money within a radius of 100 miles. ”

"I can't even get out."

"That is to say, the hundreds of millions in my bank card have become useless numbers."

"Although I have hundreds of millions in my card, I am a poor man with no pennies in Lujia Village."

"I used to drive out to the big city to get money, buy groceries and then go back to the village. Although you have to drive for two or three days, you can at least find a place to spend your money. In the mountains around Lujia Village, there are no roads. It is estimated that it will be difficult to go out, let alone buy rice and noodles and come back. ”

"I can only rely on instant noodles and compressed biscuits now, and in two days I will run out of dry food."

"As the saying goes, follow the customs of the locals, it seems that I came to this habit and stayed in the ancient Lujia Village, and I will pay the bill with silver with them in the future."

"I've never been in this situation before, it's a challenge I've never seen before!"

"But it doesn't seem to be a big deal, Bei Ye can live on a deserted island for several months alone, and I can't live in Lujia Village if I don't have any money? There is a program abroad that puts billionaires in a strange city, and they can start from scratch again, and a small backward village can make it difficult for me to be a high-achieving student? ”

"Even if I can't use money, I can change this village with my own ability,"

"And this challenge seems to be quite interesting! Unprecedented. ”

Thinking of this, Qin Yu was instantly full of confidence in himself.

"Mr. Qin, the tung oil has been coated, can you come and see if you are satisfied?" At this time, Xu Da's voice came from outside. Qin Yu walked out to take a look, only to see that the tung oil on the blackboard had dried up, and it was not too dark.

"Let's clean the tung oil layer with a planer." Qin Yu said. Since you can't buy chalk without money, you can only use a wooden charcoal pen instead, so you can't write on a black page. In addition, the learning aids used by students and teachers are estimated to have to be replaced by other things.

"Why is that? Mr. Qin, you just asked me to put it on. Xu Da said.

"The smell of tung oil is too great, on top." Qin Yu said.

"It doesn't smell like much, huh?" Xu Da sniffed on it, but he still cleaned up the tung oil on it according to his words, and secretly said in his heart, the master's actions are really unfathomable, which makes people scratch their heads.

Just as he was removing the tung oil, Qin Yu had already walked back to the room, and when he came out again, he was already holding a few things in his hand, wrapped in a plastic bag with the words white elephant instant noodles on it.

"Let's go, let's go to Da Zhuang's house together."

……

The two walked out of the ancestral hall, bypassed the ridge, and soon came to Lu Dazhuang's house in the east of the village.

"Hello Mr. Qin." Lu Qingqian saluted Qin Yu, but his eyes were a little gloomy, and his demeanor was a little restrained. Probably because Lu Dazhuang didn't allow her to go to school, and because Lu Dazhuang said that he wanted her to be Qin Yu's personal maid, he felt squirming when he saw Qin Yu.

"I've seen Mr. Qin." Lu Dazhuang also happened to be at home.

"Brother Zhuang, why didn't you bring Qing Qian to the academy to sign up?" Qin Yu asked, "I told her before that she would go to the school to register after the class started, didn't the child tell you?" ”

"The girl has already told me about this." Lu Dazhuang said, "It's just that she is a girl, and letting a girl go to school has never had such a precedent since ancient times." ”
