"It will cost a lot of money to invite the master to come to the village. We are all farmers. I wonder how many are willing?" He Chunmei was worried.
Lu Ziyuan also knew that He Chunmei's worries were not unnecessary. There were many people in the village who thought like He Gao. Everyone felt that it was useless for a countryman to learn calligraphy and it was a waste of money.
"I'll try it and tell you. If it doesn't work, we can just move to the town." Lu Ziyuan pursed her lips and said.
After dinner, Lu Ziyuan made a few dumplings as gifts and then went to the village chief's house alone. During the off-season, early in the morning, the village chief was turning over the soil in the yard as if he wanted to plant something in the yard. He saw Lu Ziyuan coming in.
, he put down his hoe and said hello to Lu Ziyuan.
"Sister Wan, why are you here so early in the morning?"
"Grandpa Village Chief, if you have nothing to do, why don't I come over to see you?" Lu Ziyuan said with a smile, "You really can't take a break. Why are you busy in the yard? Brother Zhu isn't here? I
I brought some dumplings here, thinking Brother Zhu would like them, so I could satisfy his craving."
"He was like a monkey. He couldn't be quiet for a moment. After dinner, he ran off to play with the kid from the house next door." The village chief had already seen Lu Ziwan coming in with something, and he heard it was dumplings.
, quite embarrassed, "Why did you bring these expensive food again? Come in and sit in the house."
"Hey, Sister Wan is here." When the village chief's wife saw Lu Ziwan coming, she said hello with a smile and continued busy in the kitchen.
Lu Ziyuan responded, then put the things in her hands on Table Mountain and said to the village chief, "Grandpa, village chief, I came today because I have something to tell you."
"What's the matter?" the village chief asked after being stunned.
"Village Chief. There are many children in our village who are as old as my brother Xia. I thought that it would be time for children of this age to go to school to learn knowledge from the master. However, our village is far away from the town. Brother
He was still young, and the adults in the town were worried about him, so he thought if he could invite a father and son to come to our village."
"You mean you want to send Brother Xia to school?" The old village chief heard the truth in his words. He had heard that Lu Ziyuan valued this younger brother very much and always wanted to send him to learn knowledge. It seemed that it was okay.
It's not fake news.
"Yes, but I think there are many brothers as old as Banxia in the village, so it would be better if we all get together and invite a wife back to Hexi Village." Lu Ziwan nodded.
Seeing that the village chief didn't speak, Lu Ziwan explained, "Learning knowledge is a big deal. Only by learning knowledge can people distinguish right from wrong, understand some truths, and learn some knowledge. If you don't ask me to take the top prize and become a high official, at least ask us.
In the future, my brother will not become a thief who steals chickens and dogs and everyone shouts and beats him. It will be good for the future to learn how to read. Where to find a job? When everyone hears that he can read, he will think highly of him. He can also do this job.
Find something that is easy and has plenty of money."
"I understand all the things you said, but we are all poor. I don't know how many people are willing to pay this money. It is not easy to invite the master to return to the village to teach. First of all, the master's food and accommodation when teaching
It’s a big problem. Furthermore, everyone is concerned about the amount of money that the Master accepts. If it’s too little, you won’t be able to hire the Master. If it’s too much, everyone can’t afford it and won’t be willing to pay it.”
Lu Ziyuan pursed her lips. What the village chief said was right. Going to school was considered a luxury in this place, especially in the eyes of rural people. After inviting the master back, the master needs food, housing, and training. All these are
