Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 116 Chapter 116
The next day Mu Yu approached Ji Xiucai and told him about his plan to open a school.

Ji Xiucai was busy dealing with how to distribute the cotton-padded clothes, Hearing this, he only looked up at her, and asked her to continue talking about her thoughts.

"Reading and literacy is always good, we will not just stay in Taoyuan Village, we always have to go out.

Besides, even in Taoyuan Village, literacy is also of great use, for example, it can help you share one or two.

Moreover, I intend not only to teach them to read, but also to teach them some arithmetic. "

Ji Xiucai paused, looked up at her, thoughtfully,

"The algorithm you taught me and Hua'er last time is ingenious, and it is really convenient to use. If you know more people, you can save a lot of trouble, and maybe there will be unexpected results."

Mu Yu puffed out her chest proudly, "Of course."

Then he said, "I want you to teach them how to read and I'll teach them arithmetic. That's enough for now."

Ji Xiucai nodded, "Yes."

He is a scholar, and he also ran a school in Jijia Village and was a teacher before, so it would not be embarrassing to do it again in Taoyuan Village.

At other times, he might have to think about it because he is busy, but in winter, there is really nothing to think about.

In the past half a month or so, he had nothing to do except to select people to go to the manor twice, and this time to distribute the cotton clothes. Things couldn't be better.

In fact, there are no longer a few people in the village who have similar ideas.

The people in the village are all hardworking farmers, so naturally they can’t accept the days of doing nothing, which will make them feel guilty when eating, so most of them weave grain baskets, straw mats, cushions, etc. at home these days and other objects.

After so many days, not to mention the accumulated quantity, the weaving technology has also been greatly improved. Not to mention durable, it is also very exquisite. It is no problem to sell goods to make money.

It's a pity that now is a time of famine and chaos, few people buy and nowhere to sell, and the villagers don't even think about selling, they just want to do something.

Mu Yu is still planning on this side,

"There are more than forty people in the village, plus Wen Ming's family, there are fifty people.

Twenty of them are under the age of 16. It is not easy to find a suitable room for so many people to attend classes together.

Divide these [-] people into fast class and slow class according to age and foundation. A class of about ten people should be enough to sit.

The preliminary arrangement is that you go to the last day and I go to the last day and then take another day off.

In this way, we will go to class every three days and go to school for one day, which will not take up too much time and delay anything.

what do you think? "

"very good."

"Then this matter is settled like this. I will ask Yang Erlang to help find a suitable house for the school, and then find a time to tell the villagers about it."

Ji Xiucai glanced at the ledger on the table and the cotton coat next to him, and said,

"Why don't we talk about it tomorrow when we distribute the cotton clothes."

"Okay." Mu Yu was reminded of this, and asked along the way, "By the way, have the regulations for the distribution of cotton clothes been finalized?"

"It's settled. According to what you said, the people who receive the cotton-padded clothes will harvest about [-]% more food in the basic field in the next year, and those who don't have cotton-padded clothes will be given priority.

As for Wen Ming's family, from now to the next year, the food for his family will be provided by the village, and the food for the two children will be provided until they grow up. "

"Well, let's do it first."

Mu Yu went to Yang Erlang to choose a room to use as a school together, and asked people to find tables, stools, slate charcoal pens, etc. to prepare early.

When the people who did the work heard that the school was about to open, their enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high, and it only took half a day to get everything together.

It was not until Ji Xiu finished distributing the cotton clothes the next day that he announced the establishment of a school. Almost [-]% of the villagers who came to the school to inquire about it that afternoon accounted for more than [-]% of the village's population, which shows how much they value this matter.

Apart from how many bundles of repairs to pay, the main question for the villagers is whether the fourteen, five or six people can really come to study together?Can those three and 40-year-olds go?
Many villagers are not young, and although they have no intention of studying for academic achievement, they can't even write their own names. They feel regretful and want to attend lectures, at least to learn how to write their own names.

Mu Yu discovered the shortcomings of the previous setting, so in addition to the original fast and slow classes, he added a literacy class, and welcomed those over-age villagers to come to learn and attend classes.

Taoyuan Academy opened just like that.

This started for several months.

……

In the past two months, winter has come to an end, and spring is just around the corner.

In the past two months, the school has brought about significant changes.

First of all, all the people in the village have learned to write their names and know the numbers of food and basics, and can understand the simple announcements issued by Ji Xiucai.

The second is that the 12 people in the fast class have already mastered hundreds of commonly used words and addition and subtraction of numbers. Among other things, it is perfectly fine to share the work for Ji Xiucai.Children in the slow class can fully reach this level in one year at most.

It was the first time that Mu Yu discovered that she had the talent to be a teacher. Compared with Ji Xiucai, who was secretly complained by students for being rigid and boring, the students in her class were much more active.

In addition to teaching arithmetic, she also taught other things, such as science experiments and various interesting stories that she remembered.

Overall, the atmosphere is great. What she wanted to express and the effect she wanted to achieve were almost realized in the end.

What surprised her the most was that the best student in the school was actually Wen Wang.

Although this autistic child is 14 years old and can go to the fast class, she originally planned to let him and his younger siblings go to the slow class to get used to it. After all, his growth environment is there, and age does not represent intelligence.

But Wen Wang refused, and stubbornly said that he would go to the fast class, and he was really trying to adapt, always asking her for advice.

Facts have proved that he is the one who learns the fastest and the best. Maybe this is the so-called white paper is easier to smear.

In class, she could always see him following her gaze and listening carefully, and after class, she would always meet him asking questions that she didn't understand. She could somewhat appreciate the teacher's love for good students.

In short, regardless of the process or the result, everyone in Taoyuan Village has had a very happy and fulfilling winter, and they are eagerly looking forward to the arrival of spring.

The life in Taoyuan Village is happy and happy, but the life outside is not so good, it can even be said to be quite bad, especially in Huangsha City.

It's been a tough winter outside, especially in Huangsha City.

Natural disasters, military disasters.

Huangsha City has changed owners several times, and there are not even one out of ten people in the city, almost becoming an empty city.
