Chapter 1366 School Starts (Second Update)
Good things don’t go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.
The news that Yang Huaan, the eldest son of the old Yang family, was ill quickly spread in the village.
Except for Lao Yang’s family and a few relatives who know the inside story, no one else knows what disease Yang Hua’an has.
All I know is that after he visited the medical clinics in the town and the county for two consecutive days, the medical clinics in both places refused to accept him, so he went home to nurse himself.
It must be a strange disease!
Everyone in the village is talking about this matter.
The twelfth day of the first lunar month.
Li Zheng brought several village elders to Yang Ruoqing to talk about the opening of the school.
Yang Ruoqing suddenly realized that in the past few days, everyone had been focusing on Yang Huaan and neglected the school.
After sending Li Zheng and several village elders away, Yang Ruoqing planned to go to the old house to find Yang Yongxian to discuss the start of school.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the old house, I heard the pungent smell of medicine coming from Yang Hua'an's house.
Yang Ruoqing did not go in, but stood at the door of the hall and called Yang Yongxian inside.
Soon, Yang Yongxian came out.
"Qing'er, what's going on?" he asked.
As soon as Yang Ruoqing told her about the start of school, Yang Yongxian was startled.
“Oh, I have been so busy these days that I almost forgot this important matter!” he said.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Brother, Tang Yazi and I will take care of the matter of recruiting students."
"You can take some time out these days and get the books for class and so on. Get ready."
"I have already agreed with Li Zhengbo and the others that classes will officially start on the 15th day of the first lunar month," she said.
Yang Yongxian nodded: "Well, I know, I must be ready."
...
Yang Ruoqing returned to her home without even entering Yang Hua'an's house to take a look.
Find Baozhu, Yuzhu, Wang Liang and others from the transportation team.
The main thing is to ask them to go to the surrounding villages to talk about this matter door to door and do publicity.
Originally, I wanted to post notices directly on paper, but considering that there are eight villages in these ten miles, especially those small villages, almost every village is illiterate.
Yang Ruoqing decided to save some pen and paper.
Then, she and Tang Yazi went to find Li Zheng and several village elders.
Ask Li Zheng and several village elders to come forward, and then go to the surrounding villages to talk to Li Zheng in each village about this matter.
Ask Li Zheng of each village to publicize this matter to the villagers in their respective villages.
"Because this is the first time our village has opened a school in history, in order to prepare for this first quarter, all students who come to enlightenment will be exempted from tuition fees."
"Let them try it for free for a quarter first. If necessary, Those who continue to study will start collecting tuition fees from the next quarter."
On the way to visit and mobilize in other nearby villages, Yang Ruoqing exchanged her opinions with Li Zheng and several village elders.
“Of course, students who eat and live in school will be charged some room and board fees.”
“After they have studied for one quarter and feel the benefits of studying, they will be charged for the next quarter. Will definitely come back ”
"Uncle Li Zheng and the grandfathers, do you think my plan will work?" Yang Ruoqing finally asked.
Li Zheng said with a smile: "You built the school, hired the teachers, and gave everyone a free trial for a quarter. This is obviously an advantage for everyone. How can you return it? Is there any reason for this?”
The other village elders were also smart people and only smiled in agreement.
When Yang Ruoqing heard this, she also smiled and nodded: "Okay, then we will mobilize according to this rhetoric later."
......
For three days in a row, villagers from nearby villages who came to register for the school almost flattened the road in front of the school.
Yang Ruoqing, Luo Fengtang and Yang Yongxian took turns sitting in the school to receive the villagers who came to register. Register the student's name, age, and home address separately.
Then, students will be divided into classes based on their age and home address.
“I originally thought I would be able to recruit twenty students, but there were nearly sixty. It was beyond my expectation!”
In the school, Yang Yongxian handed the student roster to Yang Ruoqing and said.
Yang Ruoqing took the book and flipped through it at a glance.
Then he closed the book, smiled and said: "If it weren't for the spring plowing in a while, many people's teenage children would be working as laborers. Otherwise, more people would come to study."< br>
Yang Yongxian nodded.
Most of the students in this book are between the ages of six and nine.
There are only three or five ten-year-olds.
There are almost no people over eleven years old.
"Brother, look at how many classes these sixty-plus students are divided into?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.
Yang Yongxian thought for a moment and then looked at the spacious and bright classroom.
“Let’s divide it into two classes. Each class will have nearly thirty people.”
"In this way, I can teach my lessons separately in the morning and in the afternoon." He said.
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Well, then just listen to big brother."
"Class will officially start tomorrow, which is the 16th day of the first lunar month."
"There are thirty students here. After paying for the room and board, I’ll have lunch here and take a rest.”
“I’ve already found someone who will cook and clean the school.”
"It's my mother, Guihua, and Aunt Dayun. I also made an agreement with them to come over early tomorrow morning to boil water and wipe the tables and chairs."
In addition, Yang Ruoqing also made some details convenient This made things clear to Yang Yongxian.
After the brother and sister finalized the agreement, Yang Yongxian said to Yang Ruoqing: "In this first quarter, except for the room and board, we have not been able to collect the other half of the tuition fees."
"You pay back I offer a salary of one tael of silver per month..."
"It's equivalent to these three months. It's you and Tang Yazi who have paid for this school and me, my eldest brother."
"Brother, I feel deeply guilty..."
Yang Yongxian said, a blush of embarrassment appeared on his fair face.
Yang Ruoqing said hurriedly: "Brother, please don't say that. I have invested in the early stage. Without the early investment, how can there be any subsequent income?"
"Brother, you are famous far and wide. "You are a talented scholar, full of ink."
"You come to help me teach students, I really want it, you are a talent!" she said.
Hearing this, Yang Yongxian felt even more ashamed.
He waved his hand and said: "Sister, please don't say such things. Brother Yu has been studying for so many years, but he still failed to pass the exam to bring glory to the family..."
"Brother, Everything depends on luck." Yang Ruo. Qingdao, "Everyone can see that you study hard. It's just bad luck."
"But it doesn't matter, I will be the number one scholar in 360 lines. I believe that my eldest brother will be an excellent teacher." !" she said.
Yang Yongxian nodded, a light shining in his eyes.
...
Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang had dinner at Sun's side.
At the dinner table, Mrs. Sun looked particularly excited and excited about going to the school to cook and do odd jobs tomorrow.
Xiao An was also very excited.
Because it was the Chinese New Year, he was already seven years old, and he was going to school for enlightenment tomorrow.
