After Li Dazhuang finished speaking, the villagers whispered among themselves, but none of them expressed their opinions.
Li Dazhuang frowned slightly, then continued shouting to the villagers:
"Everyone, feel free to voice your opinions. But don't come back and cause any trouble with those reports or other messy things. If I find out, don't blame us for dealing with you."
“If you disagree, stand up and object. After all, this is for the sake of the children in our village. They can acquire knowledge in the future and maybe one day become city dwellers.”
"Think about it, those families who moved out of our village, their children are all doing well in school and have found jobs. How many of them found a way out by doing hard labor? Everyone should think about it carefully."
After Li Dazhuang finished speaking, the villagers stopped discussing, and many villagers spoke up.
"Captain, we agree,"
"We agree with the brigade leader, and we know you're doing this for the children's good."
As soon as someone spoke, everyone chimed in, but Li Dazhuang still wanted to wait and see if anyone had any objections.
After waiting for several minutes without anyone standing up to object, Li Jiazhuang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This matter is beneficial to the village, and even the two sisters, Wang Xinbo and Wang Xinhong, nodded in agreement.
Especially since there are no tuition fees for schooling, and children can gain knowledge for free, they are overjoyed.
The original troublemakers remained silent, so Li Dazhuang waved to the villagers and then addressed them:
"Alright, I'll proceed with the arrangements as they are. If anyone disagrees, there's no need to report it; just come and talk to me directly."
"Oh, and just a heads up, the busy farming season is coming soon. Everyone get ready, and when you hear the gong, get ready to head to the ditch."
"Although we have enough food, if everyone slacks off, we'll go hungry sooner or later. Alright, that's enough for now. Meeting adjourned, everyone go home!"
When Li Dazhuang announced the end of the meeting, the villagers gradually dispersed, leaving only Grandpa Yu, Wei Mo, and the old folks from the cowshed.
These elderly people have been brought here by Li Dazhuang's wife.
Their lives have been pretty good lately because they took Wei Mo's advice and are now working on road repairs.
They could earn work points every day, and the brigade had no shortage of food. With the old man's tacit approval, the brigade headquarters lent them a lot of food.
Because their work points were enough to repay the debt, they now looked much better.
Old Master Yu walked up to the elderly people who had been sent to the countryside and said to them:
"I didn't tell you beforehand and just made the decision for you. But being a teacher is easier than building roads, so you won't object, will you?"
Hearing what Grandpa Yu said, the old people smiled and shook their heads. They knew that Grandma Sun and the others were all highly educated intellectuals.
Teaching elementary school students is no problem at all, and even teaching college students is possible, especially since their families aren't around.
This also led them to miss their families very much, which is why they especially love children.
After discussing it with the others, Grandma Sun came out and thanked Grandpa Yu:
"Brother Yu, thank you so much. Thank you for thinking of us again. We are willing, of course we are willing to teach students."
After a long and fruitful conversation, the elderly people who had been sent down to the countryside all returned to their cowsheds.
Wei Mo and Grandpa Yu returned home, and the matter was settled.
When the children went to school in the afternoon, the elderly people looked at the noisy children without any annoyance, but were extremely happy.
They are exceptionally patient with children, though sometimes they secretly wipe away tears.
Now the children are gradually getting used to it. They are a little afraid of Zhou Fen and the other two, but not of the old people.
Therefore, Zhou Fen, Wang Ling, and the other two became the homeroom teachers of three classes, since it's better to be strict with naughty kids.
What everyone looks forward to most is recess, because during recess, all the children will gather together to play with Wei Mo.
Wei Mo always comes up with many games, like this one, where he has Shan Zhenhai and Tian Boguang hold the two ends of a rope.
Then the two of them straightened the rope and adjusted it to a certain height. Wei Mo then addressed the children:
"Let's see who can get over it. If someone can get over it, we'll gradually increase the height and see who can get over it the highest."
The children all looked extremely excited, eager to try, while Shan Zhenhai and Tian Boguang, who were pulling the rope, looked rather worried.
However, they also received a promise from Wei Mo that next time they played this game, the two of them would play first, and they wouldn't have to pull the rope.
Starting from the lowest point, knees, everyone jumped over, and all the children joined in, making the whole playground very lively.
As the height gradually increased, Wei Mo felt the rope reaching below his neck. This height was very difficult for the children to cross, and everyone, including Wei Mo, used all their strength.
Seeing the height, Wei Mo had no choice but to do a somersault, using his hands to support himself on the ground, and then hooking his feet onto the rope to flip over.
Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw it, and they followed Wei Mo's method to play the game in a very serious manner.
Children in the countryside don't care about being dirty or not; they just touch the black soil with their hands, and after turning over, they roll around on the ground.
However, once they reached the next height, no one could flip over it, because this height was beyond Wei Mo's height. Even if he did a somersault, he couldn't get over it unless his hands left the ground; otherwise, there was no chance.
Then two more people took turns pulling the rope, and everyone happily played again until Grandma Sun and the others came over and said to Wei Mo:
"Alright, Wei Mo, let's get ready for class. You guys have been playing for too long."
Upon hearing this, Wei Mo nodded to the grandparents, then addressed the children:
"Alright, everyone, stop playing for now and go back to class. We'll continue during the break, and I'll come up with a new idea for you then."
The children looked a little dejected, clearly not having had enough fun yet, but they dared not anger Wei Mo, otherwise he would stop playing with them.
The most important thing for the children is to play, so of course they will listen to Wei Mo. Now, even if the teacher comes to find them, they are not too afraid.
However, as soon as Wei Mo spoke, everyone immediately returned to the classroom. Wei Mo frowned slightly upon seeing this.
He walked over to Grandma Sun and said to them:
"Grandma Sun, this won't do. You need to be stricter. They're not afraid of you. You're teachers, so you need to show your attitude. You can spank them a little now and then."
Grandma Sun chuckled softly, looking at young Wei Mo who had given her the idea, and then said to him:
"They were just brought out to play by you. I think if we're going to fight, we should fight you first."
