In the morning, there was a lesson on the Three-Character Classic, an arithmetic lesson, and another lesson on the Thousand-Character Classic, and then it was time for lunch.
For lunch, we made rice with eight treasures. There were plenty of ingredients and sugar was added. For the children, it was more enjoyable than the Chinese New Year! This rice with eight treasures was so delicious! It was no worse than meat!
But the surprise of this day was not just the eight-treasure rice. After the labor class in the afternoon, after raking goat grass, grazing cattle, and cleaning the village road, Lin Wanwan asked the children to wash up, line up on the playground in the yard, and then face the
The children waved: "Line up and come one by one to receive your student uniform."
"Student uniform?" The children looked confused.
What is a student uniform? They have never heard of it. Most of these children have never been to the town once in their lives and have no idea what a student uniform is.
Lin Wanwan took a small baggage from Huanong's hand, opened it and took out a dark blue shirt, and explained: "This is the student uniform that the master's senior brother specially supported after he heard that I had opened a school. It is uniform in dark blue."
Cloth shirt and black boots, two sets per person.
From now on, when you go to school, you must wear this student uniform. It is specially worn in school, so it is called student uniform."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bottom exploded.
"New clothes! And new shoes! Two sets for each person!"
"Master Lin gave this to us? Really? Really? Am I dreaming?"
"Does Mrs. Lin still have any senior brothers?"
"I heard that some of them are high-ranking officials outside!"
"Wow, Master Lin is so kind. He even gave us clothes! I didn't have any new clothes to wear during the Chinese New Year last year. I still wore my brother's old clothes."
The children whispered to each other, and some even started crying. For example, the eldest, second and third girls from Lin Guofu's family all burst into tears with excitement.
They have never worn a single piece of new clothes in their lives, and now Aunt Wan and Mrs. Lin are actually giving them new clothes! And there are two sets of new clothes!
Lin Zhentian, who was watching the excitement from the side, couldn't help wiping away tears. He was still wearing a patched robe. Why hadn't such a good thing happened to him since he was a child?
He really wanted to become a child and be Lin Wanwan's student.
"Listen clearly, if I find anyone with lice on their body, their clothes will be confiscated immediately! Only if they are clean can they wear school uniforms. Do you understand?"
The children shouted in unison: "Got it!"
The shouting was so loud that it shocked the tribesmen who were busy with farm work in the fields outside the yard. They couldn't help but talk: "I don't know what food is being distributed in the school. The children are making such a fuss.
"
"Wan Niang is so kind, so wonderful! Since she came, all the children in the clan have enjoyed great blessings!"
"No, the baby eats one meal at noon every day. He is full. Sometimes he can even get a snack after school. It also saves a lot of food for our family."
The student uniform is an all-in-one cotton and linen modified version of Hanfu, with a pair of white cotton trousers underneath. Lin Wanwan specially changed the elastic bands on the waistband of the trousers into cloth ropes, and she ordered them on Xixi. The set is only 80 yuan.
Plus two pairs of boots, it's only one hundred yuan.
Because she bought a lot, the merchant even gave Lin Wanwan a 5% discount. But when I brought these to the lobby of the Zhenguan Year Countryside, they were simply too fashionable and exquisite!
Such bright dark blue, such clean robes, even the adults in the clan don’t have such good clothes! Now the children actually have two sets each!
The children who received the school uniforms were stunned, holding the clothes and looking over them. No one said anything for a while, they just grinned happily.
"Okay, everyone who got the school uniforms will go to a room and change into them to see if they fit. If they don't fit, just change them with each other. Little ones under five years old, Huanong, you come with me and replace them.
They try it on!"
"Here!"
Huanong was also infected by the joy of the children, with a simple and honest smile on his face.
Originally, she was reluctant to part with clothes made of such good fabrics for her master, but now looking at the smiles on the children's faces, she suddenly felt that there seemed to be nothing to be reluctant to part with.
When each child took the clothes from her, they happily called her aunt, which warmed her heart.
If Lin Wanwan knew what Huanong was thinking at this moment, she would probably comment: "Giving roses to others leaves a lingering fragrance in your hands."
Children in the tribe generally lack food and clothing, have yellow complexions, thin bodies, and small bodies. After changing into school uniforms, they all look a little empty, but they are very energetic.
Lin Wanwan also took out the complimentary matching hairband, and together with Huanong and Yun Shang, tied up everyone's hair again, and then said with satisfaction: "Okay! I'm very energetic! Remember to go back and take a good bath, and wear these tomorrow.
If you come to school all dressed up and forget to wear anything, you will lose credits!”
"Here!" The children collectively crossed their arms and made a formal gesture.
Then Lin Wanwan waved her hand, and everyone dispersed like birds and beasts.
Seeing the children coming out of the school with their clothes in their hands and looking brand new, the tribesmen on the road were shocked and grabbed their children to ask what was going on.
When it was learned that Lin Wanwan had been given out two sets of student uniforms, along with two pairs of boots, the field was abuzz, and there was a lot of discussion.
"Oh my God, they give out clothes! There are teachers who give out clothes and shoes to students when they go to school!"
"What are you thinking? That's of course because Master Lin is a good thing only from our tribe."
"Yes, yes! This is Mrs. Lin!" The tribesmen raised their thumbs and couldn't stop praising Lin Wanwan. In the evening of the same day, Lin Wanwan continued to receive eggs, duck eggs and various seafood from many tribesmen.
They had nothing better to give back, but these were enough to make Lin Wanwan happy.
The eggs and duck eggs here are much more delicious than those in later generations. Chickens and ducks are raised on the beach and in the mountains and forests. They do not eat feed, so the eggs they lay are naturally very delicious.
At night, tribesmen who had children at home carefully touched the so-called school uniforms under the lamp, and were impressed by its incredibly fine stitching and soft and comfortable feel.
Can children of fishermen like them have such gorgeous clothes? It’s like a dream!
Lin Mengjin couldn't help but said to his woman: "I want to become a child and follow Wan Niang to study and read. Why didn't I encounter such a good thing when I was a child?"
There are not many people who think like him.
The haze brought by the typhoon was swept away in an instant.
After all, their Lin Family Village still had a noble person, Lin Wanwan, to support them, and because of Lin Wanwan's shelter and assistance, no tragedy occurred.
As for Lujiazhuang and Dafengzhuang, there were poor people who lost their lives due to this typhoon. In comparison, their life in Linjiazhuang was really much better.
