Chapter 2285 Business Arrives in the Village at the Foot of the Mountain
Ignoring everyone's miserable expressions, Meng Yunzheng continued, "When it rains, it's very troublesome if there's a leaky roof. Not only will the roof get wet, but people can also get sick. So we need to learn how to repair roofs."
"When it's windy, messy hair can easily obstruct your vision and affect your exams, so we need to learn how to style our hair neatly."
The more everyone listened, the more conflicted they became. Why was there so much going on with this exam? It felt like they were going to suffer.
The chubby boy, however, was very insistent on doing laundry. “But Dean Meng, none of the things you just mentioned include washing clothes. We don’t need to wash clothes in the examination room.”
Meng Yunzheng laughed, “Of course, you don’t need to do laundry in the examination hall, but is your life only spent alone in the examination hall? Our academy is called Zhenglu Academy. ‘Lu’ means ‘reading ten thousand books and traveling ten thousand miles.’ In other words, besides studying at the academy, it is also necessary for us to travel and broaden our horizons. Of course, you can bring your page with you, but that would greatly reduce the effectiveness of your travels. When writing essays, can you approach them from other angles and write about things that are unique and truly useful?”
Everyone was taken aback and began to ponder.
"Zhenglu Academy doesn't just teach books; it also teaches you how to be independent and how to handle unexpected situations, so you can easily resolve unexpected events. Just like in the exam hall, no one knows what will happen. At that time, the only one who can help us is ourselves. If you don't know anything, but you are good at academics, but you can't cook for yourself, can't repair your own roof, and can't even persevere through the nine-day exam, then what's the point?"
Meng Yunzheng didn't want to say much. It was the first day of school, so there was no rush. They could take it slow.
"That's all I have to say. If anyone is still interested in enrolling at Zhenglu Academy, you can start lining up now. If you have any questions, you can ask the students here individually, and they will answer them for you."
After he finished speaking, he stepped back.
Suddenly, a large group of students rushed over to the students who had been waiting on the side, bombarding them with questions.
Some asked about tuition fees, some asked if they did their own laundry and cooking, and some asked if they could rent a room at the academy to stay with their children since their homes were far away.
The other questions were fine, but the last one was asked the most. Many students aren't used to living in dorms, and the younger ones still need their parents or caregivers with them.
Shu Rui, as the representative, gave a unified answer: "After students enroll, outsiders are not allowed to enter the academy. This is to maintain order in the academy and to ensure the safety of the students. Of course, there is a reception room in the back room by the gate. If you want to pick up your child, you can wait in the reception room. Therefore, the academy does not provide accommodation for the children's parents."
“If you want to rent a house, there are newly built houses in the village down the mountain, and the prices are very affordable. You can stay there temporarily.”
The so-called newly built houses by the villagers at the foot of the mountain are just the foundations of that piece of land near the workshop.
When Shu Yu bought the land earlier, many people followed suit, especially the managers and employees in the workshop, who have built their own houses one after another in the past two years.
Some people earn high wages, but the money spent on buying land and building houses still emptied their family savings. Fortunately, the houses are brand new, so they can rent them out.
