Village Chief Zhao listened to the discussion of the villagers, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

He thought that everyone would be excited and praise him when they heard about the private school in the village, but he didn't expect this reaction.

I don't get it at all.

He Shun was still standing beside him.

In case this annoys He Shun, the matter of the private school is yellow, and he will find someone to organize it.

Bai Muban stood beside the village chief, his face also darkened.

is endless, as soon as the village mentions studying, they pull out his second child as a negative character.

No matter what, the second child of his family is also the leading talent in Shenshu Village.

It's better than this gang of illiterates.

Bai Muban was very depressed in his heart, and he relied on the fourth child who was far away in Huaishui Academy to hold on to his breath.

Seeing the chaos underneath, Village Chief Zhao struck a few gongs and drums.

"Village chief, I still have a lot of work in this field, so I'll leave first."

"Village chief, my boy's wooden head is not material for studying, I have to go home and feed the chickens."

The two of them squeezed through the crowd and went to the house.

Village Chief Zhao's prestige was of little use in the hearts of the villagers at this time, and many of the two people who followed him were about to leave the place where the discussion was held.

Wu Xiaoying and Xie Xiaolian stood aside and looked speechless, and helped yell a few times, finally maintaining the messy scene.

"Before I could finish my sentence, the big guy started to make a fuss."

"We are all fathers and fellow villagers, when did I, Zhao Defu, pit you."

Village Chief Zhao coughed a few times, waved his hand at the villagers, and said, "Listen to me, the village has a private school for the big guys. The private school was proposed by the young son of the Xia family, and he came to our village for a while, and saw that the children in the village were not in shape to fish and tease the dog every day, so he discussed with me to set up a private school and teach everyone to read and write. ”

Village Chief Zhao first praised Ah Zhen.

The villagers pouted, can the village boy compare with the Xia family? Azhena silk and satin dressed, a group of people waiting.

Village Chief Zhao continued: "I know what the big guy is most concerned about. Rest assured, the children in our village don't need silver to study, only five catties of millet a year to Mr., a pen, ink, paper and inkstone are all from the Xia family, and Mr.'s bundle is also the Xia family's bag. ”

The village chief said this, looking down.

The villagers fell silent.

Then you look at me, I look at you, with a look of disbelief.

"Is there such a good thing? Actually, when I saw the children of the Lao Bai family going to private school, I also wanted my dog to go to school, but the family had no money. ”

"But no, how can you only pay a fee for studying, and that ink, paper, and inkstone is the big head."

"But what is the Xia family's plan?"

Steward He spoke at this time, and he said: "Big guy, you must think, Shu Yu Xia's family is out, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, Xia family's bag, what is the picture of our young master?" In fact, my young master doesn't want anything, just like you saw the Xia family repairing the yard and took the initiative to help; Usually, I collected fruits and vegetables at home, and gave them to my young master; When my young master was lost, everyone took the initiative to look for ...... What are you trying to do? Isn't it just that the villagers take care of each other. ”

This sentence is reasonable.

Everyone was moved by Steward He's words.

Since Ah Zhen moved to the village, although they were also jealous of his big mansion and his rich life, they should still help.

When they do this, they never think about what they want to do, it's just a convenient thing.

So for the Xia family, the family is big, and opening a private school to provide pen, ink, paper and inkstone is just a convenient thing, not nothing.

Xia Qingpi stood in the crowd and said loudly: "I don't care what the Xia family wants, I only know that this private school can teach my son to read and write, and it is good to be blind if he is not properly open." I agree with the village to run a private school, the roof of this temple is leaking, and I sent the roof to repair the remaining tiles of my family's house last time. ”

As soon as Xia Qingpi spoke, other families who wanted their children to study but were constrained by the economy made statements one after another, and were willing to actively participate in the repair of the ruined temple.

Most people are still hesitating, some think that studying delays farming, and some think that the child is an elm head and reads in vain.

Mrs. Bai listened for a while and said, "Do you remember the drought in the early years, when the neighboring village pried our canals? We couldn't read, so we found someone in the town to write the paper, but I didn't expect the person to go to the neighboring village, and the paper was handed over, and our village was collectively punished. If someone was literate at that time, we could suffer such a loss, which is why I worked so hard to let my family Erzhuang study. ”

The older generation was impressed by this.

"There was another year, Simaozi went out to sell mountain goods, because he was illiterate, he pressed a handprint, and was robbed of all the goods with money."

It's not just four cents, such things happen every year.

"Because we can't read, which of our families has never suffered a loss."

Old Lady Bai's words triggered the villagers' contemplation.

Everyone recalled that because they were illiterate, they were cheated when they went out to sell mountain goods, and they couldn't write their grievances on the paper......

"If you go to a private school, you don't have to be a slaughterer for an official, but you shouldn't be blind and don't be deceived when you go out."

"You always take my second strong man out as a pawn. It's useless to say that he is a showman, and he is not a slaughterer for officials. It's not that I said, my second strong man has become a showman, and no one dares to deduct the disaster relief food in our village; There was a dispute between our village and the neighboring village, and it was Erzhuang who went to the county government to settle down, which of us didn't kneel when he saw the official? The second strong man in my family has this ability not to kneel. ”

Everyone looked at Mrs. Bai and felt quite uncomfortable. Although they say that Bai Erzhuang has no ability all day long, they still need Bai Erzhuang to come out when they really encounter lawsuits and disputes.

Most people envy the old Bai family for showing off their talents.

"Now the Xia family is kind and opens a private school in our village, which I think is a great thing. I don't care about others, our old Bai family provides rice and grain for the food of the temple repaired these days. ”

In the end, Mrs. Bai made a statement.

The village chief's daughter-in-law agreed with Mrs. Bai with both hands.

"You only look at what you are looking at and feel that your child's study is delaying farming. How much silver can you earn from farming, not to mention anything else, you see that Sanzhuang can come out on top because of his literacy. ”

This touched the hearts of most of the people in the village.

During the slack season, many people in the village go out to work and can only do some coolies.

For example, fighting sandbags, digging ditches and digging ditches.

Unlike Sanzhuang, he was appreciated by the owner at a young age and did not have to work as a coolie.

If his son can read and write, he will go out to work in the future, and maybe he will be reused to get silver for the family every month like Sanzhuang.

"My kid reads, isn't it just five catties of millet a year."

"My family also misses it, anyway, in the village, don't delay farming and work."

"I don't think my kid is stupider than Panmei, maybe my kid can become a big official in the future."

……

The daughters-in-law have expressed their attitudes that they can't wait to let their children go to private schools.

The village-run private school was confirmed.

The village chief planned how to repair and renovate the dilapidated temple, and the village chief's daughter-in-law and Mrs. Bai organized women to be logistics.

It's a lot of fun.

"Not only my boy is studying, but my granddaughter is also studying."

Mrs. Bai and the village chief's daughter-in-law said.

The other daughters-in-law smacked their lips, and the old Bai family really spoiled the girl.

They are willing to let the children in the family study, but they have never thought of letting their daughters study.

The girl is someone else's family, and it's enough to give her food and drink.

"I heard that the old Bai family also bought a shop for their daughter, and Da Zhuang and Chun Tao went to the town yesterday." A daughter-in-law said.

"Tsk, the Bai family really spoils their daughter."

"But it's not a white pet, who doesn't want a girl like that. The county ordered his son to chase after him and got acquainted with the granddaughter of the Zhou family in Huaicheng, and even the kid from the Xia family only played with her. ”

Everyone's conversation turned to Xiao Fuyuan.

Xiao Fuyuan and Ah Zhen were sitting on the big stone and playing, and the two of them were laughing with their heads together.

Some of the people in the village are envious, and some are sour.
