Chapter 265 Enrollment Begins
Although Yinzhu blushed, her mind was still clear.
She didn't agree immediately, but just said that she wanted to think about it carefully.
It's a lifelong event, and there's no adult at home now, so she can only figure it out on her own, and of course she has to think it through carefully.
Xiaoman expressed his understanding, said a lot of good things about his cousin, and sat for a long time before leaving.
Yinzhu sat in the yard in a daze for a long time before she came to her senses. Her brother was about to get home from school, so it was time to go to the kitchen to steam the egg custard.
Xiao Wan said that children don’t necessarily need to eat meat to grow. If they don’t have the conditions, eating fish, shrimp, and oysters is good. If they have the conditions, they can eat one or two eggs every day, which is also good for the body.
Yinzhu kept all this in mind and would boil a duck egg for her brother every morning and steam an egg for him in the afternoon.
There are several chickens and ducks at home, and the eggs they lay every day are more than enough for her and her brother to eat.
Recently, she has been making fish fillets with me, and the profits have skyrocketed. From time to time, she is willing to buy some meat to eat. To be honest, sometimes I want to live like this with my brother for the rest of my life.
With money in her pocket, she can do whatever she wants and no one can stop her.
Thinking about it, this kind of day is quite beautiful, but who told her to like climbing the hill?
Xiaoshan treated her very well and was one of the best men in the village. He had suffered so much since childhood but never changed. He was hardworking, capable, and considerate.
She couldn't help but like it.
Now that her relationship with Xiaoshan has been made clear to his parents, Yinzhu thinks they should get engaged first.
Being engaged would indeed make things much easier. At least in the future, she could meet Xiaoshan openly without being criticized. And with a husband's family to rely on, she would have something to rely on. Whatever she wanted to do, she would have to consider Xiaoshan's parents.
Of course, the most important thing is that she doesn't want to get married so early.
No matter how nice Xiaoshan's parents were, or how attractive the conditions they offered, she would not take Jinbao with her.
If we get married now, we will have to bring Jinbao to live with us. Jinbao won't be able to get used to it and will definitely feel uncomfortable.
As the old saying goes, a home is worse than any other. Let Jinbao live in your own yard and grow up slowly.
"Sister!! I'm back!!"
While Yinzhu was steaming the eggs, Jinbao's voice came from outside the yard.
The young man rushed into the stove room like a little leopard, sweating profusely, and drank up the can of cool water on the table.
"Drink slowly, be careful not to choke."
Yinzhu felt a little sorry for her brother, so she picked up a handkerchief and quickly wiped the sweat off his face.
Normally people are not allowed to enter the school. It was hot in the afternoon and even if we wanted to send some water in, we couldn’t.
Every day when my younger brother comes home from school he is like a little water buffalo. He can drink a can of water in one breath and it looks like he has been thirsty for a long time.
"Sister, I'm going to read a book! I need to memorize ten words today!"
Jinbao wandered around the kitchen for a while, drank some water, and then sat down in the yard to read.
While reading, he also read a few sentences in a loud and serious voice.
Yinzhu was very pleased.
My younger brother is a gifted scholar. The teacher praised him personally. He will definitely have a very bright future.
I will also marry a man of my dreams.
If my father and mother knew about this in the afterlife, they would definitely be happy.
————————————————————
At this time, the patriarch's house was full of people again.
The tribe has discussed the matter of opening a new class in the village for several rounds, but there are still a few people who insist on opposing it.
They only wanted the children in their own village to benefit from the teachings of the two masters Yin and Zhou, and did not want other villages to benefit from them.
The old village chief understood this mentality. He also had such selfish thoughts sometimes.
But this time it was Master Yin who took the initiative to propose it, and he had already agreed, so of course he had to get things done.
"You can't just say you want to open two more classes. The school can't accommodate so many children. Do you want to expand it again?"
Money is needed everywhere.
"It's fine to expand. The money doesn't have to come from the village."
The old village chief has registered dozens of people who want to pay to study. He can just accept two people and the money to build a house is enough.
"Okay, we can put building the house aside for now. But if we really let outsiders into the village, with so many people coming and going every day, wouldn't our village become a market?"
When the old patriarch who was sitting high up heard this, his eyes actually brightened up.
"Seventh Brother, do you think it would be a good idea for us to turn this place into a market?"
You can set up a stall and sell things at the market, and you can make money there. But at the market in the city, you can't even get a spot even if you pay.
If we open two more classes, with so many children and adults coming and going in the future, are we still worried that no one will buy things?
Thinking of this, everyone present became excited.
As long as the villagers can make money, having more people doesn't seem that difficult to accept.
Everyone is busy during the day anyway, so no matter how noisy it is during the day, it has nothing to do with them. Wouldn't it be nice to have some peace and quiet at night?
As for whether any bad guys will sneak in and do mischief, that depends on the people arranged by the village chief.
Everyone suddenly quieted down and stopped objecting. The old village chief finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This was the first time Doctor Yin asked him to do something, and he finally got half of it done.
The remaining half will be used to expand the school.
The old village chief spread the news, and the next day, family after family came to his house with generous gifts.
There were too many adults who wanted their sons to be successful, so he had no choice but to raise the standards for admitting students.
Compared with the monthly tuition of several dozen coins in the village, these foreign students had to pay five taels of silver upon admission.
After that, the monthly tuition fee was also one or two taels of silver.
A few dozen coins versus a thousand coins. When the adults in the village found out, they felt as if they had drunk sweet dew and felt extremely relieved.
For the first time, when they faced those rich people, they actually felt superior.
The old village chief checked each house one by one, collected the money, and asked Zhou He to register.
As soon as the school is expanded, new children will be allowed to go to school.
Zhou He was sensitive to numbers and could calculate every bill he received even without keeping any records.
After registering about ten people, he suddenly smelled the scent of ink.
People who smell like ink must be people who often deal with ink. There are elders like this among these children.
"name?"
"Xie Shuhang..."
"Age?"
"Nineteen years old..."
"Um??"
Zhou He suddenly raised his head.
"Is this young man signing up for himself? Have you seen the enrollment requirements of our village? We only accept children under the age of twelve."
Xie Shuhang nodded and smiled shyly.
"I know that the school only accepts children under the age of twelve, so I am not here to register for admission. I want to be your disciple or Master Yin's."
When the people around heard this, they were all stunned.
Is it still possible? ?
