Chapter 187 We are going to school
The next day, the front door of the courtyard just opened, and two figures left one after the other.
The first one to come out was naturally Yang Xiaotao.
This time I went back mainly to see the construction status of the school, and to tell everyone about the support from above to reassure the villagers.
Then the next step is to finalize the school's regulations to facilitate enrollment.
Yang Xiaotao carried a backpack, wore a formal suit, and a watch, traveling lightly.
About ten minutes after Yang Xiaotao left, Qin Huairu was neatly dressed, with cream on her face and a smell of washing powder on her body.
Behind me, Xiao Dang was lying on his stomach, still confused, with a cloth bag hanging on his wrist, which contained the things he had brought home.
The two of them walked the same road, but they went further and further away.
Before noon, Yang Xiaotao jogged all the way back to Yangjiazhuang.
After improving his physical fitness, the speed of a long-distance march is not stressful at all.
I even had to stop and rest. I just drank some water and ate candy to rehydrate.
When Yang Xiaotao came to Yangjiazhuang, the people in the village were packing their farm tools and enjoying their last free time before the ground melted.
When they saw Yang Xiaotao coming back, they greeted him along the way. In their eyes, he was a child in the village, a good man who devoted himself to the village.
When they arrived at the brigade headquarters, Yang Dazhuang and Yang Shitou were the first to come out after receiving the news.
"Are you free to come back today?"
"Well, I have to come back today."
As he spoke, Yang Xiaotao took off the backpack behind him and took out the documents inside.
"I have discussed it with Red Star Primary School. As long as we start here, we can buy books and stationery from their channels."
"Also, this is what we are facing With the support of establishing a school, five hundred yuan can be used to purchase office supplies. ”
Yang Xiaotao took out the documents. Mr. Yang and others who came over after hearing the news looked excited.
Getting recognition from superiors gives you confidence.
Back at the brigade headquarters, several people began to discuss the specific regulations.
Before Yang Xiaotao came back, Yangjiazhuang had already made preparations, but everyone felt a little empty without Yang Xiaotao making the decision.
Now that Yang Xiaotao is back and has brought good news, his heart immediately falls on the ground.
"The house in the east of the village has been built, and the tables and stools are ready."
Yang Dazhuang started to introduce, and Uncle Jiu on the side took out a notebook. Among the people in the house, the most literate one was Uncle Jiu.
He is also Yang Shitou's third uncle.
Yangjiazhuang is all related by blood, so it is normal to have different names.
This time, before finding a suitable teacher, Uncle Jiu will temporarily lead the child to read and read.
As for Mr. Yang, he serves as the principal.
Only his old man sits here, and those in the village who don't want their children to go to school dare to shut up.
In order to keep the school going.
Uncle Jiu nodded to Yang Xiaotao and began to introduce the situation in the village.
“In our village, there are a total of 107 children between the ages of six and fifteen, and 81 children under the age of six.”
"Among them, there are forty between the ages of six and eight!"
After Uncle Jiu finished speaking, everyone looked at Yang Xiaotao.
After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao was also surprised.
I didn’t expect there to be so many children in the village.
When I usually come back, I don’t see much!
After a while, I figured it out again. I don't wear much these days, it's cold, and many people's children are trapped at home.
Only when the weather warms up can we dare to let it out.
And at this time, when boys and girls were over fifteen, they would work with their parents.
Many people are already good at sorting crops. They usually work in the fields, and Yang Xiaotao doesn't see many of them.
Everyone was waiting for Yang Xiaotao to get the charter, and Yang Xiaotao was unambiguous.
According to the model of Hongxing Primary School, these children will definitely be divided into several classes of different ages.
But the situation here in Yangjiazhuang is different. If we really want to separate them, they are all at kindergarten level.
So, regardless of age, you have to start from the first grade.
"That's what I think..."
Immediately, Yang Xiaotao took out the rules and put them on the table, and explained them.
Everyone discussed until evening before finalizing the matter.
Then Yang Xiaotao returned home to rest, and everyone else went home.
Of course, some things still have to be done by someone.
In the east end of Yangjiazhuang, two children were running around in the messy yard, dragging their shoes that did not fit their feet. In the house, a half-grown girl was washing the pots. The mother beside her was a little stooped and had white hair on her temples. hair.
“Mom, I don’t go to school!”
The girl lowered her head to work, her voice neither happy nor sad!
After hearing what her eldest daughter said, the woman had a look of struggle on her face.
Finally, it turned into a sigh.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. The two children quickly opened the door and saw Yang Dazhuang walking in.
"Xiaozizi, are your mother and sister at home?"
The older of the two children immediately pointed to the house. Yang Dazhuang looked at the two children and walked into the house.
"Village Chief, why are you here?"
When the woman saw it was Yang Dazhuang, she immediately came out to greet him.
On the contrary, the girl in the room dodged a little and walked into the back room.
“Come here and talk to me this time!”
Yang Dazhuang said directly, "I know your family is in trouble. The man left early and it's not easy for the family."
"Village chief, what do you mean by this? I don't hold back the brigade on weekdays!"
"Don't get excited, just listen to me."
Yang Dazhuang knew that he had touched a woman's self-esteem and explained quickly.
“A school is built in the village, and all the children in the village between the ages of six and fifteen have to go to school. Your Ye Zizi and Xiao Xiaozi are old enough, and Grandpa has told them to go to school. "The woman listened and did not speak in a hurry.
Hesitation and grievance showed on his face.
Yang Dazhuang knew what she was worried about and saw the crouching figure in the room.
“Don’t have any worries!”
“Children in the village who are rich and go to school will have one meal a day, provided by the village, which will definitely keep them full!”
"School tools and supplies are all free."
"Xiao Tao said that there will be rewards for good study! What else are you worried about?"
"Okay, I have to go next door, so tell Ye Zi and Xiaozizi quickly that they will go to school in two days!"
After Yang Dazhuang finished speaking, he went out.
In the room, Ye Zi ran out. The woman looked at her eldest daughter's expression and suddenly laughed.
Smiling and laughing, tears flowed out.
The village has already given a lot, why do they still hesitate?
"Yi Zi, you have to go to school. You must study hard."
The woman stroked her daughter's hair, and Ye Zi nodded affirmatively.
“Mom, don’t worry, I will definitely study hard and get rewards!”
"Hey, good!"
Zi Zi ran to Coyotito and said happily.
The woman's heart trembled, and she finally saw a smile belonging to this age group on her face.
Outside the door, Coyotito, who was leading his younger brother to play, looked confused. For him, he really didn’t know what school was.
The woman looked at her children in the yard, but she knew it in her heart.
All of this was brought about by that person.
He is the lucky star of Yangjiazhuang!
Next door, Yang Dazhuang’s voice sounded again.
This time there was a quarrel, and an old voice was vaguely heard.
“…What books do girls read…”
"What's wrong? If you don't accept it, go tell the master and see if he doesn't break your leg..."
"I..."
The sound lasted for a while, and then the door was heard The sound of pushing away.
After a while, two girls from next door ran over shouting.
“Sister Ye Zi, Sister Ye Zi, we are going to school!”
"Dani, Erni, we are too, we went to school together."
......
This evening, the voices of Yang Dazhuang and others continued to be heard in Yangjiazhuang, and then, they all seemed to understand. Children who understand have smiles on their faces while listening to adults' conversations.
It was also this evening that the new generation of Yangjiazhuang began to embark on the path of seeking knowledge.
As night falls, Yang Xiaotao is still planning the future in the village and proposing a series of measures to ensure the operation of the school.
Among them, the learning reward system is his handiwork.
Of course, this reward will not be much, but it can stimulate children's ambition.
In this era, stick education occupies the mainstream. It is not like the burden reduction in later generations, and students cannot touch a finger.
These days, the most common thing parents say is, "If xx disobeys, teacher, you will beat her to death!"
Yang Xiaotao can afford this reward alone, and it also makes Mr. Yang and others Strengthened determination to run a school.
The next day, Yang Xiaotao took Yang Dazhuang to Sijiu City in a donkey cart.
This time, I want to buy back the items promised by my superiors.
Similarly, Qin Huairu, who left Qinjiacun, returned to the courtyard at noon.
When she returned to Qinjia Village this time, Qin Huairu clearly felt that the atmosphere in the village was not friendly to her.
Especially the sisters who were close friends before they got married, when they went to say hello themselves, they always said a few words in a hurry and turned around to go home.
That posture was like seeing a plague.
Qin Huairu felt uncomfortable and thought it was because these people were jealous of her. Who asked her to marry in the city?
Looking at what they were wearing, looking at their faces, and then looking at herself, she only felt that she was more proud.
He raised his head and held his chest high, leading Xiaodang, who was full of curiosity, back home.
Mother of Qin was naturally happy to see her daughter back and her niece, and she quickly greeted her into the house.
But Qin's father and eldest brother and sister-in-law looked ugly.
Especially when my sister-in-law is pregnant and is very sensitive, her eyes are full of hostility.
Qin Huairu ignored him. After she was at home, this eldest brother was a dull gourd, and he could only be bullied by her.
When I got home and took out my things, my family’s faces changed again.
This was what she expected.
But after she revealed her purpose, the whole room became deserted, and even Mother Qin's eyes turned cold when she looked at her.
In the end, Father Qin got angry and roared at her.
Only Qin Huairu knew what was going on.
Several villages around here have benefited from Yangjiazhuang's corn seeds, but their village has no shame to ask for seeds because of her relationship with Yang Xiaotao.
I had no choice but to secretly get some ready-made corn to use as seeds. Unexpectedly, during the autumn harvest last year, production was directly reduced on a large scale, and the whole village ended up going to Yangjiazhuang to borrow grain.
That day, their uncle, the village chief, shamelessly went to Yangjiazhuang and spent the whole day bored at home when he came back.
I’m so embarrassed!
She finally understood why those people looked at her abnormally when she entered the village.
It turns out it’s all her fault.
Looking at his father's stern face and his daughter's cry beside him, Qin Huairu shed tears unsatisfactorily.
At this time, she felt regretful in her heart!
