The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

After chatting with Zhao Yunlan that day, Chen Chongmin seemed to have a fire in his heart, and he began to be busy with recruiting students.A plaque with the name of the school was delivered, engraved with the word "reward for diligence".

"God rewards hard work. Reading is not something that can be achieved overnight. I hope everyone can persevere one day at a time." Zhao Yunlan explained to Chen Chongmin when she used the name of the school.

It's just that everything is difficult at the beginning. I have said so many original intentions before, but in the end, I extinguished the fire in my heart because I couldn't recruit students.Even though Zhao Yunlan had already accepted very few bundles, and a person only needed to pay fifty essays a semester, and the fifty essays included a daily lunch, there were still very few people who signed up.And those few people included Chen Chongmin's three children and the eldest grandson of the head of Xingshu Village.

The head of Xingshu Village is called Xu Youde. He has two sons. In the next generation, he has four grandsons and three granddaughters. Already able to help the family with some simple housework.

Zhao Yunlan came to the school when she learned about the enrollment situation, and sighed all the time when she thought about the children of Village Chief Xu's family, so many children are the source of students.This is still able to send one out, and there are so many families that don't even dare to send their children to school.

Of course, these villagers cannot be blamed for this. Before Qin Peng came, education in Shiyang County had not been taken seriously, and reading and literacy could only be discussed among the rich. The imperial examination was pushed to the common people's homes, but there were still not many scholars in this way.

But no one in the world wants their children to become talented and famous, but they have to bow their heads to the reality. It may not be possible to support a scholar with the strength of the whole family. It is better to let the children stay at home and work, so as to have an extra labor force, and perhaps accumulate more. Several generations can try to provide for scholars, let alone provide for female dolls to study. It must be a family with gold and silver, and it must be a rich lady to read some books.

That's what the common people think, one word 'wait', but Zhao Yunlan can't afford to wait.

"We don't want Shuxiu directly, but we don't care about lunch. The dolls bring their own meals to the school." Zhao Yunlan said firmly, with the same momentum.

Chen Chongmin was surprised: "Dean, this is inappropriate!"

Zhao Yunlan: "Hey, I feel a little sorry for Mrs. Wan. We agreed to let her come to the school to be the cook."

Chen Chongmin shook his head and said, "That's not what I mean, I'm worried that our school will lose money!"

Zhao Yunlan: "It would be a good thing if we could get more children to go to school in exchange for a little loss. Let's just leave it at that. In the first semester, we will not finish the study, and we will make it clear to everyone when we sign up."

Li Mingli nodded: "Okay."

The enrollment was dispersed again, and Chen Chongmin returned the 35 essays that the village head had accepted. Sure enough, the village head Xu sent the other two grandchildren of the family to sign up after a while.

"Aren't the other two granddaughters also grown up? Why didn't they come?" Chen Chongmin asked.

Xu Youde smiled: "Girl dolls don't study anymore, let them help with some work at home."

Just as Chen Chongmin was about to refute, Li Mingli stepped forward and said, "Major Xu doesn't know, right now girls are being asked to study more in the capital, and girls who have studied can still find good jobs in the capital. I heard that you can get five taels of silver a month, what kind of accountant lady, the head of the kitchen."

Village Chief Xu's eyes widened: "Really?"

Li Mingli nodded: "I can still lie to you if I try to trick you."

Xu Youde was a little moved, but he just looked behind and immediately said: "Hey, that's the capital city, it's so far away, the capital city is full of rich and noble families, and we can't reach it."

Li Mingli was not in a hurry, just smiled and said: "Then let's not talk about the capital city, just talk about Fucheng, Fucheng is close, right now, all the girls in Fucheng are studying, don't you see that the daughter of our Mr. Chen's family is also studying? Not to mention whether they can go out to work, but girls who have studied can find a better family, village chief, think about it, which family of those talented masters does not read and write."

Xu Youde was thoughtful, but he got to the point later, it would be good for the family if he could find a good marriage for his granddaughter.

Li Mingli continued: "We don't want to stop cultivating now, why don't we send all the children here to have a try, they really don't have much talent for reading, so we are thinking about other ways out, besides, how much work can be done at home is for girls Let's do it!"

Xu Youde nodded in agreement with Li Mingli's words.

"Okay, then I'll send my two granddaughters over, just wait a moment."

When Xu Youde left, Chen Chongmin pulled Li Mingli aside and said, "I don't let my daughter study to marry a good family. Don't talk nonsense in front of my daughter. Although I am worried about fame, I also know My qualifications are mediocre, and I will never use my daughter to plan my future." After speaking, I was glad that my daughter was not in the school just now, otherwise I would make my daughter sad.

Li Mingli nodded: "I know Mr. Chen's character. What I said just now was based on the village chief's idea. We can't persuade them by preaching. We must put the actual interests in front of them and let them first Just take this step."

Chen Chongmin understood what Li Mingli meant, so he had to do so. Anyway, the effect of saying this was indeed obvious.

"Hey, you just said that the capital is now recruiting female workers, who need to be able to read and write, and pay five taels of silver a month. Is this to fool the village chief?" Chen Chongmin just wanted to ask if it was true, but the village chief was here , I'm afraid that if it's fake, it will be revealed, and things will go wrong when the time comes.

Li Mingli nodded sincerely: "Yes, I can go and see it if I have the chance." But he said in his heart: Because it is my family's restaurant.

The fire that was extinguished because he couldn't recruit students seemed to be rekindled in Chen Chongmin's heart in an instant.

After a while, village head Xu came to sign up with two granddaughters, and behind village head Xu there were several villagers holding their children. There were boys and girls. Of course, there were more boys than girls.

After signing up, Zhao Yunlan looked at the roster. There were 22 male dolls and eight female dolls. There were only [-] people from several villages who signed up, and they were still a little dissatisfied.

Li Mingli had no choice but to comfort him: "Sister-in-law, let's take it step by step, don't worry."

Zhao Yunlan could only sigh in her heart: "Yes, step by step." Then she took out the class schedule from Chunxiang and handed it to Chen Chongmin.

"Mr. Chen, here is the timetable I made. Check if there is anything you don't understand."

Chen Chongmin glanced at it. The class schedule was divided into two groups: morning and afternoon. Each group had three classes: literature class, physical education class, and daily class.

Chen Chongmin understood the literary class, it should be teaching everyone how to read and write. What are the physical and daily classes?
Zhao Yunlan explained: "The physical education class is for everyone to exercise and keep fit. It is easy to understand, just for fun, running and jumping. I will find another teacher to teach you. This daily class is just to talk about common sense for them. , For example, talk about the weather, how to recognize money, and what problems you should pay attention to when you go out. You can talk about whatever you think of, sir."

Chen Chongmin didn't understand why the classes were arranged in this way, but Zhao Yunlan was the dean or the wife of the county magistrate, since he said so, he didn't say much. Although Zhao Yunlan was polite to him, he still had to understand what he should know.

Zhao Yunlan continued: "Sir, I would like to ask you to prepare the lesson before giving a lecture. Although I am speaking in the same way as the teacher, I still want to know what the children can learn every day, and whether they can understand it is another matter. "

Chen Chongmin really didn't understand this time, "Forgive me for being stupid, may I ask the dean, what is this lesson preparation?"

Zhao Yunlan took out a pamphlet again and gave it to Chen Chongmin, "Look, this is my lesson preparation for teaching students how to recognize the first three characters of the Thousand-Character Classic, as well as the lesson preparation for teaching money recognition in the life class."

After Chen Chongmin finished reading the booklet, he couldn't help looking at Zhao Yunlan, his eyes widened.

Li Mingli coughed as a reminder before Chen Chongmin realized: "I'm being rude."

Zhao Yunlan smiled: "It's okay. Then you understand the lesson preparation, so follow me. This is the homework I assigned to Mr. Chen. Give me this lesson preparation before class."

Chen Chongmin replied: "Yes, Dean."

Zhao Yunlan happily left. In fact, preparing lessons and writing lesson plans was what Zhao Yunlan thought of temporarily. When she was a supporting teacher in the mountainous area, because she was a multi-subject, she often prepared lessons and wrote lesson plans until midnight. Zhao Yunlan remembered that time only left There was a sigh.So when arranging the class schedule, I wrote two lesson plans by hand, and then I wanted Chen Chongmin to write them out of bad taste.

The pamphlet that Zhao Yunlan gave to Chen Chongmin was already simplified, so it shouldn't be too embarrassing.
