Chapter 236 Classes Begin
When he was about to fall asleep, a strong aroma of cakes suddenly wafted into the room, and he even dreamed about eating them.
He slept deeply and soundly, and did not wake up until noon.
After he got dressed and walked out of the room and saw the yard clearly, he had a clearer understanding of the Shen family's financial situation.
It's just a side courtyard, but it's paved with bricks and stones. Even landlords don't dare to do this, which shows that the Shen family is really rich.
There is a well in the backyard, covered with a wooden cover, and the water drawn from it is still warm.
Tang Yu was a little surprised.
He waited until he finished washing up before running to the small door and pulling the wooden stake.
Soon Su Tai opened the door, brought Ke Yunyun and her son over, squatted down and looked at Zhu Kangcheng carefully, and said: "Kangcheng, from now on, this Mr. Tang is your godfather. You have to call him daddy. When outsiders ask you what your name is, you say your name is Tang Cheng. Do you understand?"
Zhu Kangcheng didn't understand, but that didn't stop him from being obedient, especially since it was what his favorite cousin told him to do.
"I understand. From now on I am Tang Chengcheng. This is my godfather and I will call him daddy." Zhu Kangcheng said in a baby voice.
Ke Yunyun looked relieved.
Tang Yu was deeply touched by the word "Dad". He stepped forward and hugged Zhu Kangcheng. "From now on, you can call me Mr. or godfather in private. If others ask you, just say I am your dad."
"Dad!" Zhu Kangcheng shouted loudly and considerately, making Tang Yu laugh so hard that he couldn't stop.
Su Tai said, "Okay, I'll go back there first. You guys go out from the workshop. If anyone asks you, answer as we said before."
It was the first time for everyone to do this, and everyone was a little nervous.
Ke Yunyun, wearing a veil, followed Tang Yu silently, while Tang Yu held Zhu Kangcheng in his arms.
When the three of them just came to the front and saw Shen Ergou and Shen Tian, they didn’t know how to speak.
Several people stared at each other.
Zhu Kangcheng was more tactful and shouted in a crisp voice, "Hello, big brother and big sister!"
Shen Ergou came back to his senses, his eyes full of confusion, “Who are you? Why did you come out from the backyard of the workshop?”
Su Tai rushed over holding the child in her arms, "It's okay, don't be nervous. This is Mr. Tang's family. I invited the teacher to teach the two children."
"Sir? I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Shen Ergou was a little flustered and at a loss.
Tang Yu took a deep breath and naturally fit into the role, "It's okay, we just got here last night and scared you."
Su Tai nodded at them and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see the village chief."
Soon, the village chief's family, Shenzhuang, and Shenmu's family all knew that Su Tai had hired a teacher for their two children, and they treated her even better.
Shen Ying murmured to his wife He: "You said Shen Yi's wife is really bold and daring! She hired a teacher for the two children without making a fuss."
If only Mr. Tang came this time, they might still suspect that Su Tai had other intentions, but Mr. Tang brought his wife and children with him, and he was upright and aboveboard, so it was obvious that there was nothing wrong.
In other words, Su Tai really intends to raise her child with care.
He sighed, “I was worried that Shen Yi was not at home and Su Tai could not hold on by herself. Now it seems that everyone underestimates her.”
When Shen Yi was around, he took care of everything at home and outside. Su Tai left them with the impression that she was delicate, unable to lift anything, and unable to do any work. However, because Su Tai was capable and generous, everyone had a good impression of her and few people gossiped about her.
But secretly, they didn't think highly of her being able to support the entire family by herself, and now those people have been slapped in the face.
"That's right!" Shen Ying was deeply touched and said, "Su Tai just said that Mr. Tang wants to open a school and take in a few more children, but not too many. Do you think we should seize the opportunity and send our grandson there to learn a few words?"
Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, class is a gap that they cannot cross. Although farmers are ranked after scholars, their lives are the hardest. If the younger generation in the family can work harder and establish a farming and reading family, the situation will be very different. At least those merchants will not dare to look down on them.
It would be great if there were some more books at home.
Just look at Su Tai and you will know that the reason why the villagers did not dare to talk about her behind her back and were very kind to her was not only because she was good at dealing with people, but more importantly, they saw Su Tai write with their own eyes. A literate woman is different from an ordinary village woman.
He was anxious. "Why hesitate about this? Of course we should go! Our family doesn't need that little bit of tuition right now, so let all three children go."
The one who went to serve in the military this time was the couple's eldest son. The eldest son has two sons and a daughter, so they must take better care of him.
Shen Ying nodded, "Su Tai said her daughter also wanted enlightenment, so it wouldn't be strange for our granddaughter to follow suit, so it's settled."
After the old couple finished speaking, they immediately ran to find Su Tai to reserve a place.
Xu was extremely envious, but her grandson was still young and it would take another two or three years at the earliest.
Huang Xinghua was also a little tempted, and discussed with Chen Mu and Mrs. Chen, "Mom, what do you think about letting Si Gou go to school?"
Mrs. Chen hesitated for a long time and said nothing.
Chen Mu was worried, "There is so much farm work to do at home after the spring. Si Gou can only help a little. If he goes to school, we won't be able to finish the work!"
Granny Chen pondered and said, "As for Erya, she must be upset that Dagou is going to serve in the army. If Sigou is sent to the academy, she will be even more upset. I think we should just forget it! We should treat them equally. If there are any great-grandchildren in the future, we can send them there."
Huang Xinghua thought about it and realized that this made sense, so she didn't mention it again.
Tang Yu gave ten places, and the village chief selected a few more children. When there were enough people, the math class started.
The workshop usually closes at 9:00 to 11:00 in the morning.
The school at the back starts classes at Chenshi (7:00 a.m.) and the children have to study until 15:00 p.m. (11:15 a.m.).
After noon, study from Wei Shi (1:00 p.m.) to You Shi 1:15 p.m. (5:15 p.m.).
After Shen Ergou and Shen Tian finished their work in the morning, they could attend the class for a while. Tang Yu even reserved two empty seats for them and did not confiscate their tuition.
The brother and sister felt bad and took the initiative to help Tang Yu chop wood, fetch water and clean the school.
This actually saved Tang Yu a lot of trouble.
After the school was stable, Ke Yunyun stopped showing up in public. The villagers all knew that Mr. Tang's wife was in poor health and needed to rest, so no one dared to disturb her.
In fact, even if this incident had not happened, they would not have dared to take the initiative to talk to Mr. Tang's wife. After all, when they met Ke Yunyun that day, everyone felt that she was very elegant, not like a village woman, and was not the same kind of person as them.
Ke Yunyun was happy and relaxed. She kept hiding in the backyard of the cellar, or going to the front yard to help Su Tai with work. Her life was much happier than before.
