Chapter 497 (1/2)
On a lucky day, the school in the village also opened.
A scholar named Xu, who was lame because of an accident, was invited to serve as a teacher. This man was recommended by Sun Ming. Lian Fangzhou inquired about it a little, then he discussed with Zhang Lizheng and the villagers and invited him back.
Zhang Lizheng and the villagers were a little reluctant at first. They always felt that they should at least invite a normal and comprehensive gentleman. Inviting a lame man would damage his image and make it hard to speak out.
Even Fangzhou patiently persuaded him for a while that Xu Xiucai had excellent talent and excellent character. If it had not been for his lameness that he had been lifted up six or seven years ago, where would he have been invited?
And there is a reason why he is lame. It was to save a child who was nearly run over by a speeding carriage that he fell and broke his leg. This shows that this person must have a heart and let him educate the children more reassuring.
Even Fangzhou insisted, and Sun Ming also said good words. In addition, all the expenses were paid by Lian Fangzhou. Zhang Lizheng and the village elders couldn't resist, so they reluctantly nodded and agreed.
Later, after Xu Xiucai arrived, Zhang Lizheng and the villagers went to see him. After a conversation, they changed their attitude towards him and looked at him differently. Before long, they became more familiar with each other, and they were more impressed by Xu Xiucai.
Lian Fangzhou breathed a sigh of relief, then laughed and asked Zhang Lizheng to send out a message. Those whose children want to go to school can sign up. First, those who want to go to school in this village will be admitted to other villages.
The village is free of all training, books, ink and other self-contained, naturally outside the village is inevitable.
Lian Fangzhou asked Sun Ming to take lianze to pick up Xu Xiucai. In January, three taels of silver and fifty catties of rice are used. In the four seasons, there are two sets of inside and outside clothes. In winter, there is also a thick coat with big hair.
Xu Xiucai's legs were inconvenient and needed to be taken care of. In addition to his wife, MI, and his seven year old son, whose nickname was Dou'er, there was also an old woman in her fifties.
The house behind the school was spacious enough. Even Fang Zhou asked him to come and live with his family. On weekdays, MI and Mrs. Xu helped to clean up the school, clean up the flowers and trees, and offered another salary, one or two silver a month.
The reason why Lian Fangzhou offered another salary to the MI family and Mrs. Xu was that she had some care. To her surprise, someone in the village came to her house and said all the nice things. After a long time, she actually took a fancy to this job and wanted to take it from MI and Mrs. Xu.
After Lian Fangzhou was stunned, she couldn't help crying or laughing. It was easy to give up the idea of coming.
Because it is free, the school is full of people. At the beginning of the school day, the height and height are uneven. The older one is thirteen or four years old, and the younger is only seven years old. The age difference is half!
Even Fangzhou looks very uncomfortable, but everyone is used to it.
Lian Fangzhou shakes his head. Since they have said that it is free, they can come if they want!
Seeing that there were a lot of people, she discussed with Mr. Xu whether to buy more tables and chairs?
Mr. Xu smiles and shakes his head calmly. He laughs at her and says, ”reading is also a hard work, not a free good thing to take advantage of. You can see that many people even lack one or two of their pen and ink books. Where do you really miss books? Within three days, people must be half less! Let them just make do with it and wait for three days
Lian Fangzhou couldn't help laughing.
