Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 662 Withholding Children's Meals
The little tree and the big black horse also made out for a while, then they untied the reins and led the horse forward.Liu Ya followed him and asked, "Now you can tell Second Sister why you were punished for copying?"

"It's all my husband's fault. He looks down on children from poor families." Xiao Shu'er just said that, and then said: "It's okay to leave us a lot of homework every day, and let us help the students in the backyard to copy. Books. If we refuse to help them copy, the penalty for copying will be tripled. The few of us would rather be fined for copying than help them copy.”

Liu Ya couldn't help but wondered: "You still want to help the children in the backyard to copy books? Mister protects them, don't leave them copying homework, will it be finished soon?"

Xiao Shu'er said: "We are going to help the academy copy the books. Every student in the academy has to finish it on time, and the handwriting must be neat and correct. I heard that if the writing is good, it can be directly bound into a book and sold for money. Each student has to copy one hundred pages a day, and those with bad handwriting will be fined. However, the children in the backyard don’t want to copy, or the handwriting is not good-looking. Writing is a waste of paper, so our school The kids take turns copying out their copy."

When Xiao Shuer said this, he kicked the stones on the ground fiercely, and said: "The children in the backyard eat and wear better than the children in our yard. Even the cleaning of the yard is done by our side every day. I sent a few kids there to do it. They don’t do anything, and they want us to help them copy. If they don’t even have to do their homework, why do they come to the school to study?”

Liu Ya gritted her teeth secretly when she heard this, it turned out that these children were asked to replace the rigid copying process and directly let the children copy the scrolls.And these books still have to be sold for money. Isn't this exploiting children's surplus labor.

Liu Ya asked again: "So, you have to be punished three times for copying every day? I see that you and Yan Yue look bad, and there are bloodshot eyes in his eyes. Are you writing at night?"

"Of course we have to write from dawn to dusk. We will not only be punished for copying, but also all the work will not be left behind. Whether it is sweeping the yard, washing clothes, or going to the big classroom to clean, it is a schedule for each student. We have to finish the prescribed work on time before we can do homework for the day. The food is not good, not at all.”

After finishing speaking, Xiao Shu'er took a breath, gritted his teeth and said, "The children in our yard are indeed from poor families. It stands to reason that our family's life before was considered hard. We ate wild vegetables and brown rice all day long. They don’t know how to be picky. But who knows, the food in this school is even worse. You can’t even eat rice soup. In the past ten days, not to mention meat, even cabbage is not fried but boiled soup All I eat is a few cabbage leaves boiled in salt and water, nothing else. In my opinion, even those students in the backyard wash their pots with more water than this vegetable soup."

Liu Ya frowned again.She remembered very clearly that when these children came to study in the school, they had to pay the school's food expenses.Liu Ya had calculated at the time that if this standard was followed, the food for these children would definitely not be bad.To be a little harsher, those who want to make some money in the school may not have meat every meal, but it is a bit unreasonable to say that they can only eat vegetable soup every meal, and they don't have any oil stars.

Moreover, the school can sell a lot of books for children to copy books.Where did the money go if it wasn't used for the children's meals?

After saying this, Xiao Shu'er sighed and said: "The most annoying thing is that Mr. Dong, obviously he came up with these bad ideas, but he still said that the money given by the government is not enough, saying that it is already enough for us children to come to study. It’s a great gift from the government, and it’s nothing to do these jobs and copy books.”

Liu Ya also heard from Senior Brother Sun that these children were taught by the new Mr. Dong.Then the principal of the school doesn't care about these things that Mr. Dong has done?Does the mayor know?

"Second sister, do you think we come to study to make money for the school? If that's the case, I might as well learn from you at home. That Mr. Dong is no shit, and the poems he writes can make people laugh." Xiao Shu After finishing speaking, he casually recited a doggerel, and then told Liu Ya that it was written by Mr. Dong.

Liu Ya swallowed her saliva when she heard it, this poem is too straightforward.Even the "Goose Goose" that Luo Binwang wrote when he was seven years old is much better than this one.

Liu Ya touched Xiao Shu'er's head, and said: "Second sister tells you, this poem is really not very good, but have you ever thought about why this Mr. Dong can be your husband, and you may be better than him? The poem is good, why can't you be a teacher?"

When Liu Ya asked, Xiao Shu'er scratched his head and thought for a while, and said, "Is it because I am young? Then if I grow up, I will also be a teacher, and I will definitely be able to compare this Mr. Dong."

Liu Ya listened with a smile, and said: "Then think about it again, brother Yan Yue's uncle is considered humble and polite, he taught Yan Yue well, and he should be able to be a gentleman, but why did he stay in the In the village?"

This time, Xiao Shu'er was stopped by Liu Ya's question, scratched her head again, and said, "Second Sister, tell me why."

Liu Ya said: "It's because of connections. For example, you know Yan Yue and call him Big Brother Yan. What if Yan Yue has a future and becomes an official? Are you his best friend and brother?"

"Of course." Xiao Shu'er nodded and said loudly proudly.

Liu Ya continued: "Then if you want to find something to do in the place under Yan Yue's jurisdiction, will he agree and arrange a good job for you?"

After Liu Ya finished speaking, Xiao Shuer lowered his head and thought about it seriously, then raised his head and said to Liu Ya: "Second sister, I understand, the connections you mentioned are relationships. Maybe our gentleman and the mayor are a little confused The mayor arranged him in the school, so he turned a blind eye to what he did, right?"

Liu Ya nodded, but added: "It doesn't necessarily have to be related to the mayor, even if you are close to a certain master, or are relatives with the principal in the school, you may have such a job as a teacher." But he is not good enough at all, and he has greed, so naturally he only wants to deprive your students of rations and squeeze your labor surplus."

Xiao Shu'er didn't fully understand, but after thinking for a while, he said, "Second Sister, do you mean that I may not be able to learn anything in school now, but I may meet a lot of classmates. If you are promising, you can also support me, this is the role of connections."
