Chapter 163: Give her a town
At 8:55 a.m., all fourteen students came, and they all took their seats and sat down.
Song Xi walked up to the podium and was about to say something, but saw Zhou Yi, Zhou Ping, Mo Jiaxiang, Sheng Jia and the four of them also walk in.
The four of them walked straight to the last row and sat down.
Song Xi was a little puzzled, "Why are you here?" ”
"Teacher Song, didn't you say that you can come and sign up for study at any age? Doesn't Teacher Song welcome a few of our older students? Zhou Ping raised his eyebrows.
Zhou Yi's friends, Song Xi discovered that Zhou Ping's personality is relatively out-of-the-box, but he is still very kind.
Song Xi listened to Zhou Ping's words, the corners of his mouth twitched, a little embarrassed, "Welcome, naturally welcome, I hope you can calm down and study hard, if you fail the exam, I will really play the board." ”
Song Xi said, putting the board on the podium.
This was not what she requested, it was prepared for her by the village chief.
I guess I'm afraid that she won't be able to shake this group of children, after all, they are all half-grown children, naughty and disobedient.
"Hello classmates, I am Song Xi, the village arranged for me to teach everyone to read and write, I hope everyone can calm down and study hard in the future, and strive to become educated people, even if we can't go to the city as workers, then we can also use the knowledge we have learned to carry out scientific farming, and use science to improve grain production."
"The class time I set for everyone is two hours in the morning, two hours in the afternoon, nine in the morning to eleven at noon, and two to four in the afternoon, four hours a day, so as not to delay you from doing other things."
Song Xi took out the school supplies from the small basket and also took out the sweets and pastries that she had already packed before.
When the children at the bottom saw the candy, their eyes widened, and they were all about to drool.
"Students, I have already introduced myself, and now it is your turn to introduce yourself on stage, but anyone who bravely introduces himself on stage will be rewarded with a bag of candy." Song Xi placed the school supplies on the left and the sweets and pastries on the right.
In this era, candy and pastry are not only an artifact for making friends, but also an artifact for attracting children, and even naughty children can buy a bag of candy.
The children below were entangled for a while, and one of the children put his hand on the table, and when he was about to stand up, he was preempted by Zhou Ping.
Zhou Ping walked to the podium in a few big steps, put his hands on the lectern, and swept his eyes over the more than ten children below, "Hello everyone, I'm Zhou Ping, your teacher Song Xi is my sister-in-law, if anyone is disobedient in the future, angry Teacher Song Xi, don't blame me for throwing him on the mountain to feed the wolves." ”
As soon as Zhou Ping's voice fell, there was the sound of children gasping in fear.
Whether there are wolves in the mountains, they don't know, but there are definitely wild boars.
After all, the four of them have already hunted three wild boars this year.
Song Xi gave Zhou Ping a bag of candy, but didn't give him school supplies, she knew that the four of them were not here to read and write, but to give her a town, so she was quite moved in her heart.
The candy bag contains fruit candy, white rabbit toffee, winter dates, black sesame balls, and walnut crisps, each of which is two, and there are exactly ten in one package.
"Thank you, Mr. Song." Zhou Ping reached out and took the candy bag, then turned around and went down, sitting back in his place.
After that, Mo Jiaxiang, Sheng Jiahe, and Zhou Yi all came to the stage for Song Xizhen, and of course, they all received a bag of candy.
Song Xi thought that there would be thirty students, so he prepared thirty packs.
Unexpectedly, there were only fourteen students, so there were many sweets.
After Zhou Yi and the four of them took the stage to introduce themselves, it was the students' turn.
After the students introduced themselves, Song Xiyi handed them textbooks, workbooks, pencils, and erasers.
Let them cherish their textbooks and not break them, after all, they will keep them for the next batch of students when they run out.
"Students, today is the first day of school, I don't go to class, let's do something interesting, let everyone get acquainted with each other, get to know each other, we can get along better in the future, go, let's go to the back yard to plant broad beans, and when the broad beans are mature next year, I will give you ten catties."
When the students heard this, they all cheered excitedly, and then a group of people followed Song Xi to the sandy land behind the school.
And Zhou Yi and the four of them left, because they still had to open up the wasteland, and today they specially asked for leave to come to Song Xizhen.
Older children are responsible for trimming the sand and dividing the sand into appropriately sized tofu blocks.
The younger children, on the other hand, are responsible for digging holes, burying seeds, and watering them.
Since the yield per mu of broad beans is only a few hundred catties at most, it is not cost-effective to plant too much land, so Song Xi planted one acre of land, which is enough to distribute to the children when the time comes.
There are a total of three acres of sandy land, one acre of broad beans are planted, and there are two acres left, and Song Xi plans to plant watermelons in March next year.
Because the price of watermelon is high, but it is only December, and it is a pity that the sandy land is empty for three months.
So Song Xi took the children to plant pumpkins and potatoes again, because these two things can fill their stomachs and have a high yield.
Potatoes yield 4,000 to 10,000 catties per mu, pumpkins yield 3,000 to 5,000 catties per mu, and 10,000 catties is also possible if properly managed.
And she has spiritual spring water, which will naturally double the yield of these crops.
The children followed Song Xi to work, and they were full of confidence, and they didn't want to go back when it was time for lunch, but Song Xi still let them go back, so as not to worry their families.
In one day, Song Xi took 14 children and planted three acres of sandy land.
Song Xi asked the children to go home and not tell their parents, and when the things they planted were ripe, they would give them a surprise to their families.
The children were afraid that the surprise would be gone, so they all agreed obediently.
In the afternoon, Xu Yunying's eldest son Xu Bing helped Song Xi call the master with the best craftsmanship in the village.
Song Xi asked him to make a bamboo fence for this sandy land, with a height of one meter and a half, and enclose all the three acres of land, so as to prevent the small animals on the mountain from coming down and ruining her and the students' efforts.
Song Xi went to the accountant and received ten yuan, and first gave a deposit of five yuan, and the master promised that he would make it out as soon as possible.
The next day, seven more children came.
Song Xi knew that their families sent them to sign up for the sake of candy.
Song Xi was afraid that they would not come to sign up sincerely, so they ran away after receiving the candy, so they asked them to go to the village chief to sign up and sign the agreement.
After signing the agreement, you have to go to class obediently like everyone else.
People who fish for three days and dry nets for two days, people who drag down everyone's progress, Song Xi is not willing to teach.
