Chapter 71: Widow Joe Is So Smart?
Could it be that Qiao Ruyue has really found other talents? Zhang Qingcheng couldn't help but worry.
No, if you really find him, how can you come to him today?
"Son, I'll go chase Widow Qiao back, you can talk to her with a few soft words, five days will be five days, and Dr. Cui also said that you will be able to get out of bed in five days."
After all, her son can't participate in the imperial examination now, and he won't be able to top the high school in the future, so it's not bad for Xiucai to have a stable job as a teacher.
In the two days that Zhang Qingcheng was not at home, she often went out and heard a lot of rumors in the village.
What insect temple was bought by Widow Joe, and twenty pairs of tables and stools were made.
When everyone talked about Widow Joe, they no longer showed disgust and disgust, but with a sense of respect, she knew that the method of using neem water to control locusts was thought up by Widow Joe.
In addition, many people pondered that after the wheat was harvested, they would not plant all the seedlings, plant some soybeans and fruit trees, and some people decided to plant mulberry trees to raise silkworms, which was also thought up by Widow Qiao.
Because only sprinkling neem seed water to treat the symptoms is not the root cause, but also to reduce the food source of locusts at the root.
Moreover, Widow Qiao's female celebrity is very popular with a proprietor and makes a lot of money, so the family is well-dressed.
Widow Qiao also ransomed Qiao Xiaoxi and Qiao Fei'an, which shows that people are not bad.
However, her son was spurned by the villagers, saying that his character was not good, but fortunately he was deprived of the qualification for the imperial examination by the magistrate, otherwise he would also harm the people of Dayan Country if he passed the examination in the future!
Moreover, Widow Qiao also saved Chen Tiezhu's life, and Chen Tiezhu is now very attentive to Widow Qiao.
Widow Joe said that she was rich and beautiful, and it was true!!
Therefore, Mrs. Zhang recognized the reality and hoped that her son would not fight against Widow Qiao, and that they would be reconciled as before, and their family would have a good life.
I didn't want to, but I heard Zhang Qingcheng say: "Mother, you don't have to chase her back, it's impossible for me to talk to her softly!" ”
He is a big man, and she still talks softly to her when she is so tidy, where is his dignity?
He wanted to see what would happen five days later, when her school didn't teach Mr. Sho.
At that time, she only needs to say two soft words, and turn the thirty taels every Chinese New Year's Eve into only ten taels, and he will go!
Seeing that her son was stubborn, Mrs. Zhang no longer persuaded her.
She knew that it was useless for her to say anything now, only to wait for her son to come to his senses, hoping that Widow Joe would still be able to take care of him at that time.
In the afternoon, Qiao Ruyue went to the Insect God Temple, only to see two figures waiting there early.
"Sister Qiao, you are here, this is my husband Bo Yingxin."
Niu Peony introduced.
Two years ago, Bo Yingxin and Niu Peony got married, and when they came to pick up the bride, the original owner also went to join in the fun and saw him.
Qiao Ruyue bowed to Bo Yingxin: "Bo Xiucai." ”
"Sister Qiao."
Bo Ying learned the peony and called Qiao Ruyue.
Bo Yingxin is tall and thin, he has no ambition, and after being admitted to Xiucai, he did not continue to study to gain fame, but tried his best to copy books to earn money.
In the past, when he was studying in the school, he also copied books to subsidize his family, but at that time, there was a lot of homework, and if he copied quickly, he could only copy a book in half a month.
When Qiao Ruyue looked at Bo Yingxin, Bo Yingxin was also looking at her.
Looking at her dress, she seems to have a little money, but is the thirty-two year salary a gimmick, or is it real? He'll have to look at it again.
Today he came over and made two preparations, one was to waste half a day, and the other was to really become a teacher at the school.
When Qiao Ruyue opened the temple door, it was clean and tidy, and twenty pairs of tables and stools were neatly arranged, just like a study classroom.
Bo Yingxin and Niu Peony were stunned, Qiao Ruyue was serious, she really wanted to open a school?
Only, can so many students be admitted in the village?
Not to mention twenty, I'm afraid there may not be five.
The tuition fee for two or two years is not something that everyone can afford to pay!
The three of them sat down, Qiao Ruyue told Bo Yingxin her thoughts, unlike other schools that only accept boys, she accepts men, women and children here, and it is not a fee for two taels a year, but a small course-style fee.
For example, if you learn a 100-word course in 30 days, you only take half an hour class every day, and you can learn and write these 100 words, as long as you have 100 words!
Thirty days to learn arithmetic courses, every day is also half an hour, only one hundred wen.
Thirty days to learn the common 1,000-word course, only one hour a day, only 500 words.
For the time being, these three courses will be introduced first, and then adjusted and added later.
Bo Yingxin's class time is very simple, one common 100-word class plus one arithmetic class in the morning, and one common 100-word class plus 1,000-word class in the afternoon.
The class time is very short, and he still has a lot of time for himself, maybe copying books to make money.
However, according to Qiao Ruyue's current curriculum, he already has a plan to copy books with "one hundred words commonly used", "one thousand words commonly used", and "arithmetic", and many students should buy them by then, and he has another income!
Moreover, Bo Yingxin agrees with Qiao Ruyue's course, if it is two or two a year, everyone will be reluctant, but if it is one hundred or five hundred, everyone may consider it.
They are both literate and affordable.
Suddenly, Bo Yingxin said: "Chief Qiao Shan, I'm afraid twenty pairs of tables and stools here are not enough." ”
Bo Yingxin corrected her title for Qiao Ruyue, no longer treating her as a village woman, but really as the mountain chief of the school!
In the future, I am afraid that most of the people in the village want to come and learn.
Qiao Ruyue also thought about it, there are still five days before the official start of school, and it is not a problem to ask Erniu's father to make twenty pairs of tables and stools.
A maximum of 40 students can be accepted in a class, and when it is full, they can sign up for other courses, or sign up for the next month's course.
After all, just Mr. Bo Yingxin, there are too many students to take care of everyone, and when the time comes, they won't learn anything, and it won't be good if they smash the signboard.
Bo Yingxin bowed his head, and couldn't help but sigh secretly that Qiao Shan was thoughtful.
"Peony, your brother is a carpenter, right?"
Niu Peony nodded, puzzled why Sister Qiao suddenly mentioned her brother.
Then I heard Qiao Ruyue say: "The people in the village don't have much money, and when the time comes, there will definitely be few people who are willing to buy pen and ink, let your brother make some sand tables for practicing calligraphy, and they will definitely be able to sell."
There is also learning arithmetic, you need to have an abacus, and you need to do some, and ask Bo Xiucai how to do it. ”
She hasn't decided to use Bo Yingxin yet, and she needs to investigate for seven days.
Niu Peony and Bo Yingxin's eyes lit up at the same time, why didn't they think of these two business opportunities?
Qiao Ruyue wanted to open a school and three short courses quickly spread in the village, especially the two courses that only cost 100 wen made everyone's hearts moved.
At this time, most of the people have finished cutting the wheat, and some have already poured water into the fields and are ready to plant seedlings, or plough and plough the ground to plant soybeans, fruit trees, and mulberry trees!
Everyone is doing things and chatting at the same time.
"Zhu Er, do you want to send your kid to learn calligraphy?"
Zhu Er's family raises pigs, which is much richer than other people's families.
Zhu Er smiled: "Of course, not only my boy, but even me and my mother-in-law have to learn arithmetic." ”
The family has a small business, there is no way, often have to settle accounts, if the calculation is wrong, it will be a loss.
Moreover, there are so many customers who buy meat every day, it is slow to calculate, and it is also wrong.
He and his mother-in-law wanted to learn arithmetic before, but there was no place to accept them, and the price was still high, so now they can be regarded as having met!
Zhu Er's family of three went, and others originally only wanted their son to learn a few words, but now they also want to send their son to learn arithmetic.
The villagers of Quanyin Village are very enthusiastic about the short course, and the Niu family and the Chen family are also busy.
This time, Qiao Ruyue not only ordered twenty pairs of tables and stools, but also made a table and stool for Mr. Teaching.
The things outside were told to Zhang Qingcheng by Mrs. Zhang: "Son, Widow Qiao really has a way, everyone wants to sign up, and you can learn a hundred commonly used words in thirty days in one hundred words!" ”
Mrs. Zhang smiled from ear to ear, why didn't she find that Widow Qiao was so smart before?
"Mother, without me, she wouldn't be able to open the school in five days.
Wait, it won't take five days, and in four days, she'll come to me. ”
After that, Zhang Qingcheng wanted to turn over, but as soon as he moved, his buttocks hurt so much that he gasped, and he hated Qiao Ruyue in his heart.
When she comes to beg him, he must fix her!
"Son, when Widow Joe comes back, don't take Joe again." Mrs. Zhang persuaded.
"Hmm."
Zhang Qingcheng hummed perfunctorily, but he didn't pay attention to it at all.
