Chapter 79 Applying for a Teacher
"That's right, there's no tuition fee!"
Su Xiangwan nodded. If it were something else, she would charge a small fee, even if it was just a symbolic fee, to prevent people from thinking they could take advantage of the situation.
But this is a school, an educational institution. Even if some people send their children here with the intention of taking advantage, she is happy to see it happen.
"Not only is tuition free, but the school also provides a lunch."
Su Xiangwan said, "The premise is that only students who are enrolled in the school can eat in the school cafeteria."
Since she was going to provide free education, Su Xiangwan didn't mind spending a little more on lunch expenses.
This was a decision she made after careful consideration.
The purpose is to address families that treat girls as domestic laborers.
Some families, even if they don't charge tuition, may not be willing to let their daughters go to school.
Because they have already treated the girl as a source of labor in the household.
If the girl goes to school, the family will have one less person to work.
Now, she can only hope that this free lunch will allow families who are looking to take advantage to send their girls to school.
After hearing Su Xiangwan's decision, Tong Liqun looked at her with deep shock and bowed deeply to her: "Su Xiangwan, on behalf of the children in the village, thank you!"
The cost of this lunch may be finite, but don't forget, it's not just a day's lunch, nor is it a month's meal.
Over the years, this is definitely not a small amount.
Su Xiangwan avoided Tong Liqun's bow and instead addressed the villagers of Bakeshu Village: "Fellow villagers, I don't know how long this free lunch will last. Maybe a year, maybe two. I can only do my best to try to extend it for the children. If the higher-ups stop providing it, I hope you won't blame me!"
Hearing Su Xiangwan say this, Tong Aiguo immediately stepped forward and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. The fact that you were able to get help from the high-ranking leaders in Beijing to build a school and secure free education is already an immense favor to our Bakushu Village. Not to mention this free lunch, which is something we never even dared to dream of. No matter when this lunch is discontinued, we cannot have the slightest complaint. If anyone dares to say a single unpleasant word, I, Tong Aiguo, will be the first to not let him off the hook!"
“Yes! Su Zhiqing has been incredibly kind to our Bakushu Village, we can’t be the kind of people who repay kindness with enmity,” Zhu Jinmei added immediately.
"Those who are ungrateful will have sons born without an anus!"
"Don't worry, Su Zhiqing..."
Everyone echoed this sentiment.
Su Xiangwan didn't care whether these people were telling the truth or not.
Do good deeds and don't worry about the future.
After arriving in Bakushu Village, the family encountered some unpleasant things, but most of the villagers were still honest and kind.
Even a foreigner like Vivian felt pity when she saw those young children working on the farm at home.
Moreover, Su Xiangwan.
Since she has more money in her virtual space than she can spend, why not take it out and do some good deeds?
After all, helping others makes you happy, doesn't it?
In the days that followed, the villagers of Bakeshu Village worked even harder, and in just three days, they had finished harvesting all the wheat in the fields.
At this time, truckloads of blue bricks ordered by the village were also brought to the open space at the entrance of the village.
Even during these three days, the villagers were not idle.
The elderly and children would voluntarily help clean up the debris in the open space whenever they had free time.
After the strong young men finished their autumn harvest, they began digging the foundation.
Everything is proceeding smoothly.
Su Xiangwan completely embraced a "parasite" lifestyle, eating and sleeping all the time, and taking walks around the village when she had nothing to do.
Compared to the villagers' indifferent attitude towards her before, now almost everyone greets her warmly when they see her.
Even Cai Chunhua would avoid her when she saw her.
Now, she no longer dares to set her sights on the Gu family.
Even if she coveted Gu Yanfei, her wealthy daughter-in-law, she wouldn't dare risk offending the entire village by having any wicked thoughts.
Moreover, Tong Liqun had already stepped in and directly warned her not to set her sights on the Gu family, or she would face the wrath of the entire village.
Therefore, Cai Chunhua and Tong Xiaojun had no choice but to honestly put aside their inappropriate thoughts and start looking for other women to be their daughters-in-law.
That day, Su Xiangwan had just stepped out of the courtyard when she saw Xu Yirou walking towards her.
"Sister-in-law, may I have a chat with you?" Xu Yirou asked politely.
Su Xiangwan subconsciously kept her distance from the female protagonist in the original work.
Since the other party had already come directly to her door, she could only stop and ask, "Xu Zhiqing, is there something you need?"
Xu Yirou met Su Xiangwan's gaze. If, before she had memories of her past life, she might have harbored unwarranted hostility towards the wife of the man she fell in love with at first sight.
But now, having regained her memories of her past life, she felt no hostility towards Su Xiangwan, but rather a sense of gratitude.
Although she didn't know why Su Xiangwan didn't divorce Gu Yanxiao and abort their child after the storm came, just like in her previous life.
Instead, she went to the countryside with Gu Yanxiao, and they were a very loving couple.
But no matter what, it was precisely because of Su Xiangwan's variable that Gu Yanxiao did not repeat the tragedy of his previous life.
Based on this, Xu Yirou, who had received favors from Gu Yanxiao in her previous life, was happy to see the changes brought about by Su Xiangwan.
It could even be said that Xu Yirou was grateful to Su Xiangwan.
"Su Zhiqing, I wanted to ask you, is the newly built school in the village hiring teachers?"
Su Xiangwan nodded: "Of course we need to hire them. Does Xu Zhiqing want to apply for a teaching position?"
Applying for a teaching position was indeed a very good option for these educated youth who had been sent to the countryside.
These educated youths were far inferior to the villagers in farming, but they had an absolute advantage in terms of knowledge and culture.
"Don't you know what it means to start an application process?" Xu Yirou asked.
She was worried that she had missed the opportunity to apply for a teaching position, which is why she came to ask Su Xiangwan.
"It should be after the New Year. There will be an announcement then," Su Xiangwan said.
Building a school will take some time.
By the time it was finished, it was almost Chinese New Year.
School can only reopen after spring arrives and the weather warms up.
So it's perfect to wait until after the New Year to recruit teachers.
"Okay, thank you, Su Zhiqing." Xu Yirou felt relieved after receiving the answer.
She took advantage of this time to review the material so as not to miss anything.
