Chapter 103 Complete the Third Mission

The evening's rosy clouds filled the western sky, and it was already dark under the banyan tree. Only then did I finish registering.

Gu Jiayue took it and counted it, there were actually more than three hundred people!

this....

Gu Jiayue was a little nervous. Isn't this too many people? It has far exceeded the number of students allowed by the system.

Looking more closely, I found that among the students who registered, more than 200 of them were girls.

She thought no one would be willing to send their daughter to school.

Especially in the countryside, girls are also an indispensable labor force in the family.

So she specifically asked Master Hua Chao to demonstrate her embroidery skills in public, hoping to attract parents to see business opportunities and send their girls to school.

But she didn't expect the effect to be so good. She thought she would have to visit every household and no matter how much she tried, no one would be willing to let the girl go to school.

Unexpectedly, after just one lecture, the villagers of Taohua Village were not only willing to let their girls go to school, but the number of girls was even greater than that of boys!

"Hua Chao, you are amazing!"

"Ah?" Hua Chao, who was inexplicably praised, opened her big black eyes and looked at Gu Jiayue in confusion.

Gu Jiayue pointed at the two hundred or so girls and said, "They all came here for you, you know? If we educate them well, we can at least help two hundred families."

After hearing what Gu Jiayue said, Hua Chao also felt that he was very capable. "Don't worry, Miss, I will continue to work hard to teach them."

At this moment, Hua Chao felt that she was full of strength. She was no longer the maid who only followed the young lady around all day. Now she was the teacher of more than 200 people.

She must teach these two hundred girls well, so that when they grow up they can make a living with their own skills. If they encounter trouble in the future, they can also support themselves and not be sold by others.

"Jiayue, are you done with your work? Let's go home." Seeing that most of the villagers had left, Grandpa Gu came over to ask.

"Okay, let's go home." Gu Jiayue waved her hand and walked home with the Gu family and his Qiushi Academy team in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"I'm so tired and hungry. I think I can eat a whole cow today." Gu Yuhe rubbed his empty stomach and dragged his tired body back.

Gu Zhigeng covered his mouth and laughed secretly.

Grandpa Gu held a stool in his hand and said nonchalantly, "When I came out, I saw your Grandma Cai seemed to be making braised pork."

The little man suddenly regained his vitality and excitedly turned around and circled around Grandpa Gu. "Grandpa, is what you said true? Is Grandma Cai really making braised pork? Can we eat meat today?"

Grandpa Gu laughed. "You'll know whether it's true or not when you get back. But I don't lie."

Yes, grandpa is the head of the family, how could he lie?

"Wow, everyone, hurry up and go home so we can eat meat. I want to eat three bowls of rice today!"

He was the first to run back. He didn't feel tired at all. He was such a lively and playful monkey.

"Ah, Gu Yuhe, wait for us." Gu Zhigeng took Gu Bailu's hand and chased after him.

Gu Jiayue looked at her younger brothers and sisters chasing and playing in front of her, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

When the system gave her a reward, the smile on her face became even bigger.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the third mission. You will be rewarded with 400 points of education value."

"Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission, recruiting female students, and contributing to improving the status of women. You will be rewarded with an additional 300 points of education value."

"Now let's announce the fourth mission: recruit four like-minded teachers to build the Qiushi Academy together."

Gu Jiayue smiled even more happily.

Grandpa Gu, who was walking beside her, looked at the expression on her face and couldn't help asking, "Jiayue, do you really like teaching?"

To be honest, before today, he thought his granddaughter was very clever, but too ambitious and not down-to-earth.

But through today's lecture, he realized that he had underestimated his granddaughter.

Gu Jiayue is a person with lofty goals.

In just two months, Yuhe, Bailu and Zhigeng were all taught very well by her. She even did not forget Chunyan, Xique, Yushan and Qianyue who were busy with work every day. As long as they wanted to learn, she would squeeze out time to teach them.

No matter how silly the questions they asked were, she patiently answered and guided them.

As for the school, it was built too big and all the materials used were good. She ordered all the bad ones to be replaced.

Although he didn't know how much silver he had spent, Nanny Cai had told the old woman that Jiayue's money had been almost used up.

He didn't want to dampen his granddaughter's enthusiasm, but he still had to say that if he relied solely on the tuition fees collected from the children in the village, he would never be able to recover the money for building the school. He even waived the tuition fees for all the children in the village today.

"Of course I'm happy, Grandpa. I'm happy to see Taohua Village getting better and better with my help." Gu Jiayue said from the bottom of her heart.

What she couldn't do in her previous life, she did in this life!

She wanted to help all the children in the village go to school and help the villagers become rich. These were things she couldn't do in her previous life.

But now, she is making up for her past regrets step by step, so she is really happy.

"Okay! As long as you are happy." Grandpa Gu patted Gu Jiayue's shoulder gently.

It’s not serious, but as the head of the family, he represents the support of everyone in the Gu family!

"Grandpa, just wait and see. I will definitely lead the villagers of Taohua Village to a different path!"

Looking at his granddaughter's sparkling eyes, Grandpa Gu laughed. "Okay, I'll wait and see."

He didn't believe it at first, but now, she thinks her granddaughter might be able to do it.

Taohua Village is too poor and too dilapidated.

Let her try her best. Even if she fails, it doesn’t matter. She can’t get any poorer or more broke.

The school was finished, and the new house of the Gu family not far away was almost finished, so they didn't need so many workers. So most of the villagers started tending to their crops in the fields.

But there are many differences in the field today.

For example, soybeans are intercropped in the corn fields on the mountain.

The village chief asked us to put fish and shrimp in the rice fields.

It is called vertical agriculture.

Although the villagers didn't understand, the village chief was literate, so he had a point. They just listened. Besides, this idea was proposed by Jiayue, so there was definitely no problem.

Speaking of this, many families in the village have begun to regret it.

When Jiayue brought back two kinds of seedlings from outside, everyone was afraid that the new variety of seedlings would not have a good harvest, so most families did not buy it and instead planted the ordinary ones.

Later, most of the new seedlings were planted by the village chief's family and Gu Xuanhai's family. Now, it has been almost two months, and the difference can be seen at a glance.

The new seedlings were thick and straight, and when you dug them up, you could see that their roots were thick and deep. It was obvious that you would get a lot more rice at harvest time.

Oh, if I had known earlier, I would have planted that kind of seedlings.

But it’s too late to regret now. I’ll see if I can exchange some seeds with the people who grow them next year.

The Gu family had no idea what the villagers were thinking.
