Chapter 444 Report

The girls' school building was completed in early May and school is scheduled to start on the eighth day of the first lunar month.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, girls came to register one after another. Girls from well-off families rode in ox carts and were brought there by their parents, so that they could take a look at what the women's official school was like.

Everyone knows that there are good things in Huanggou Village. This is a rare opportunity. Come and see how magical the legendary Huanggou Village is.

When they turned from the official road to the village road, they were shocked that the village road was so spacious and no worse than the official road.

It's nothing like the mountain road back home, which is so rough, winding and difficult to walk on.

There are also many convoys transporting cement on the road to Rong County, and there are many people coming and going.

When thirsty, drink water from the bamboo tubes on the roadside. Many nearby villagers come with food to sell, and no one drives them away.

The sellers are very conscientious and clean up the dirty floor when they leave.

The bustle is almost as intense as the market in Heifeng Township.

Many people also went to Huanggou Village, either to visit or to play, and no one in Huanggou Village stopped them.

When the ox cart arrived at the village entrance, we asked and people were very enthusiastic to show us the way. We walked along the road and saw a large and imposing school building. There were people waiting to greet us at the door.

Xie Qingyun, Su Lu, Pei Yuzhen, Wang Furu and Pei Yuyao were welcoming people at the entrance of the girls' school.

"Excuse me, is this a government school for girls?" Looking at the imposing large tiled house with blue bricks, white walls, I was a little scared.

"Yes! Are you here to report?" Xie Qingyun asked.

"Exactly! Where do I need to report?" After confirming, he got off the ox cart, picking up his bag.

"Have you brought the recording? Give it to me!" Xie Qingyun said.

"We have it, we have it!" The farmer couple hurriedly took it out from their bag, and the little girl beside them looked at the girls curiously.

Xie Qingyun checked the roster, found Feng Qianer's name, and filled in the registration information.

Feng Qian'er looked at the beautiful small regular script without blinking.

I enviously said, "Wow, it's so beautifully written!"

"It won't be long before you can write such beautiful characters." Xie Qingyun said with a smile.

"I can't do it! I'm stupid!" Feng Qian'er was not confident.

"Who said you are stupid? How can a stupid person be admitted to a government school?" Xie Qingyun laughed.

"If you're really that stupid, doesn't that mean the interviewers are even more stupid, fooled by a little idiot like you?"

"No, no, that's not what I meant!" Feng Qian'er waved her hands nervously, becoming increasingly confused.

"Okay, I'm just kidding! This is your bookcase, which contains pens, inkstones, and books. Here are two sets of clothing. You must wear the same uniform in the official school. This is your dormitory number.

School will officially begin tomorrow, and students at the women's official school will have one day off every ten days and will not go home until the end of the semester."

Xie Qingyun handed over the book boxes and clothing bundles in turn, and explained the rules and regulations of the official school.

This place is remote and I can't get home in one day. The road is not safe either, so I can only play in the village.

"It saves money!" Feng Qianer nodded.

When the bundle was opened, there were two sets of sky blue student uniforms, made of fine gauze, with a few small words "Women's Official School" embroidered in silver thread on the left chest.

There is also a pair of blue cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles.

"Hiss!" Feng Qianer's parents gasped in shock.

In this life, I only wore fine gauze on my wedding day, and never again since then.

My daughter was lucky. She was admitted to a government-run school and all her fees were waived.

I actually have new clothes to wear, and they are made of fine gauze! What a beautiful, fresh, and generous color!

The little girls look so lively wearing it!

Those cloth shoes were different from the common embroidered shoes and men's boots. They had thick cloth soles and even, fine stitches on the soles.

The foot is deep, not easy to fall off, and easy to walk.

It’s the right decision to come to this women’s official school!

At first, Qian'er cried and made a fuss about signing up, but the couple listened to others' instigation and refused, saying that it would be difficult for an educated girl to get married.

Qian'er cried, made a fuss, and went on a hunger strike, causing chaos in the house and she was starving to death.

The couple had no choice but to agree.

Later I found out that there were many girls who wanted to sign up, but many of them were stopped by their foolish parents.

On the day of the interview, the county magistrate, the instructor of the official school, and Lord Su conducted the on-site examination and eliminated hundreds of girls.

The girl who didn't pass the exam was so sad that she covered her face and cried on the spot.

Now there are book boxes, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, official school uniforms, and cloth shoes. I finally feel that it is also good for women to study.

Five or six girls from the village came, and only Qian'er passed the exam. The couple was very vain for a while.

It's even worse now. Shouldn't I show off for a few days when I get back?

Fine gauze official uniform! Sky blue, that color is so rare! Have you ever worn it in your life? No!

"Let's go! I'll take you to the dormitory!" Su Lu called Feng Qianer.

"Yes!" Feng Qianer went to pick up the bookcase.

Her parents snatched it away and said, "Qian'er, follow your sister and walk in front. Grandpa and Grandma will get it for you!"

"I am a teacher at the official school. My surname is Su. You can just call me Mr. Su!" Su Lu spoke softly.

"Ah? You are gentlemen? Oh my God, how old are you?" Qian'er's mother opened her mouth in surprise. She thought the gentleman was a middle-aged woman.

He's only a year or two older than Qian'er, yet he's a gentleman! Is this okay?

"We are the disciples of Master Su, including the few people we just received. They are all teachers of the official school. We will be the ones teaching them in the future!" Su Lu said calmly.

"Master Xiao Su!" Qian'er's mother fell silent.

Young Master Su is about the same age as Mr. Su, and these girls are all her disciples.

No problem! People are different! Some are naturally smarter than others!

The campus has teaching buildings, a library, a practical building, dormitories, a canteen, toilets, and bathrooms. The roads are cement roads and there are also small flower beds.

Qian'er's parents were amazed all the way they walked!

The gentry and rich people in the town don’t have such a luxurious house, but my Qian’er can study and learn to read here, and there is even a library!

I made money, I made a fortune! Qian'er's parents wanted to laugh out loud three times!

Those who envied Qian'er for getting into the government-run school and said she would never get married, have they ever lived in a brick and tile house in their entire lives? Have they ever lived in one?

When I arrived at the dormitory and opened the door, I saw a bed on each side of the room and two desks and chairs in the middle.

There is also a locked box at the head of the bed to store personal belongings.

There are two basins under the bed, one for washing face and one for washing feet.

"My goodness! How can this be called studying? This is clearly the life of a rich girl! No need to work in the fields, no wind or sun.

Free food, free drinks, free clothes, free housing, and someone will teach you how to study! If I were you, I would want to come too!

Qian'er's mother finally understood why her daughter was so determined to sign up.

Fortunately, I agreed, otherwise where would I go to regret it?

I chose a bed near the back and just as I had put my things in place, another girl came and also stayed in this dormitory.

He was barefoot, carrying a patched and tattered bundle across his shoulder, a bookcase in one hand and a bundle of clothes in the other.

There were several patches on his body, but it was very clean, probably because he had walked all the way here.

The weather in May is getting hot and I am sweating profusely.

With her lips slightly pursed and her eyes determined, she is a girl with a stubborn personality.

Seeing Feng Qian'er sitting on the bed near the inside, he knew that the one near the outside was his.

He nodded friendly to Feng Qianer, put down his things and put them in order one by one.

"Father, mother, please go back!" Feng Qian'er urged her parents, "It will be dark if you stay any later!"

"It saves money, it saves money!" Qian'er's parents reluctantly left the official school.
