337 School Enrollnt

Even Old Madam Wang could not make the decision regarding the matter of their in-laws’ family’s kids coming to Hu Family Village to study dicine.

After telling Village Chief Hu and the others about this, Village Chief Hu gathered the villagers and told them about his recent plans.

“The days in the village are about to improve. We want to set up a private school in the village. We don’t ask the children to do well in the exams, but they should at least be able to read and count. It’ll be good enough that they won’t be fooled when they’re outside,” Old Master Hu said earnestly. “The children will eventually have to walk out of the village. It’s impossible for them to stay in this mountain with the older generation for the rest of their lives. Once they go out, the difference in treatnt between those who can and can’t read will be huge. Not to ntion anything else, just the money they can earn is worlds apart.”

For manual labor, 20 or 30 copper coins a day outside was considered a lot.

But for those who could read and write, a job as a bookkeeper would net more than a hundred copper coins a day.

If the children could go further, it was said that in the prefectural city, or even the capital, the wages in those places for even manual work could net more than 200 copper coins a day.

When Old Master Hu was young, he’d once gone to the prefectural city to participate in the junior examination. At that ti, he did not pass the examination and returned to his hotown in disappointnt.

If he’d passed, he could have gone to the capital to take the entrance examination for officials. The prosperity of the capital definitely exceeded his imagination.

“Other than the private school, we’ve also talked to Doctor Hu and he’s willing to open a dical hall beside the private school. The children can learn literature and dicine at the sa ti,” Village Chief Hu added.

The villagers had long heard of these plans. Now that it had been officially announced, they all expressed their support.

In the past, it was not that they did not want to send their children to school. At that ti, their family was so poor that they could not even afford to eat.

In the past, the Wang Family was the poorest family. The rest of them were not rich either. At most, they could starve a few als less than the Wang Family.

Third Aunt Hu said, “Old Master, we’ll do whatever you say. It’s been so many years, but you haven’t hard us, right?”

These words did not sound good, but they were the truth.

Old Master Hu smiled gently. “It’s normal for parents to want their children to learn more skills. I invited everyone here today because I still have sothing to ask for your opinions. We’re opening a private school for the growth of the children in our village. If anyone from the other villages wants to send their children to study literature and dicine here, are you willing to accept them?”

The villagers looked at each other.

Soone asked, “Why not?”

Before they had a private school, if their children wanted to study, didn’t they have to send them to other villages?

The other villages did not disagree.

“Doctor Hu agreed?” Widow Zhou asked.

Doctor Hu’s wife replied, “Of course, we’re happy to go with this arrangent. With one more child to learn dicine, we can save more people. This is a good thing to do and accumulates rit. My husband naturally agrees.”

The villagers laughed. “Since the teacher has agreed, what else do we have to disagree with?”

This matter was settled.

A carpenter in the village even said that if no one despised his skills, he was willing to oversee a class in the school and teach the children how to do carpentry.

A woman who was good at embroidery also said, “This reminds . If no one has any objections, I can also teach the girls to make clothes.”

There were so old fellows like Elder Ma and the others who were unhappy letting won teach. However, so of the won in the village were really not good at embroidery to begin with. They did not know how to teach their daughters to sew.

They were the first to agree. The n in the family could not embarrass their wives, so they agreed as well.

When there were more people, even if Elder Ma and the others were unhappy, they could only accept it.

When they heard that the Hu Family Village was going to open a school, and they even accepted all the children from the various villages. The in-laws of the Wang Family were happy and expressed that they had to let the children co.

That day, they went ho and said that they wanted to go back and talk to their family.

On the 28th of December, a large group of n carrying hoes and shovels ca, scaring the people of Hu Family Village.

In the end, when they asked, the other party said, “I heard that your school is about to start in spring. It hasn’t been built yet, so we’re here to help construct the building. Don’t worry, there’s no need for you to take care of our als. We’ll bring our own food!”

Just like that, before the school in Hu Family Village opened, there were already more than 100 students who had enrolled.
