After listening, Gu Shouxin pondered for a moment and said, "Ben Neng's idea is actually quite good!"
Cai Xiaolian: "Hmm?"
Gu Shouxin analyzed for her, "The fourth child already has two children, and they're still quite young. I reckon they'll have one or two more. The third child is pregnant again, and if there were a place like this, she'd definitely bring the baby here every day. Huihui is already married, and she'll probably have a baby soon too. Niannian got married in December, and she should have a baby next year or the year after. All things considered, with so many descendants in our family, it's absolutely necessary to set up a kindergarten for about ten children."
Cai Xiaolian: "You're not kidding, are you?"
Gu Shouxin shook his head: "Of course I'm not joking. I've always felt that the place where you and Niannian live has a pretty reasonable education system. In Da Zhou, most children start their education at five or six years old. Starting from three to six years old, they get used to school for three years, and then they formally start school at six. It's actually quite good."
Cai Xiaolian looked at Gu Shouxin without saying a word.
This was the first time Gu Shouxin had so readily agreed with Gu Ren's opinion.
Of course, Gu Ren was thinking that he didn't want to be bothered by children, but Gu Shouxin's thoughts were more extensive and reasonable.
Seeing that Cai Xiaolian remained silent, Gu Shouxin asked, "Does Madam think this idea is unfeasible?"
Cai Xiaolian shook her head: "It's not that it's impossible, it's just that we don't have the professional talent! Xue'er is planning to apply for a preschool teacher major, but she hasn't gone yet. Yizhu is a teacher, but she's not a preschool teacher. In our area, the teachers for preschool, primary school, middle school, and high school are completely different. Renren was just talking casually, but in reality, there are still many things we don't know."
Gu Shouxin said, "No, we'll figure it out as we go. I'll find some time to put in a good word for Qingyuan and get him transferred to the capital. Yizhu will come with him too. With Yizhu and Xue'er helping us, and Niannian, Xue'er, and Renren all having attended kindergarten, we can figure it out slowly. Then the Gu family's descendants won't have to worry about anything in the future."
Cai Xiaolian said helplessly, "You might as well just have the Emperor build schools directly. Follow our pile of kindergartens, primary schools, middle schools, high schools, and universities!"
Gu Shouxin shook his head: "That won't work! After all, the national conditions in your country are different from those in the Great Zhou. Given the current situation in the Great Zhou, it's completely impossible to achieve the same level of education as you. Look at the Emperor; he can only build a royal academy. He doesn't dare to build an academy like my parents did, where both boys and girls can enroll. For the Emperor, this matter must be done step by step. To popularize literacy among all the people of the Great Zhou, it will take a long time!"
Gu Shouxin spoke seriously, and Cai Xiaolian shook her head helplessly: "I was just joking. But taking care of young children requires patience. People who haven't learned systematic knowledge are like old women or maids taking care of children; they simply can't achieve the desired results."
Gu Shouxin patiently explained, “The effect we want is actually very simple. Unlike your place, where they need to learn foreign languages, sing and dance, or learn numbers, the effect we want is to get them used to the existence of schools and to learn in schools. After Xiao Ba was born, you told me not to teach him the Four Books and Five Classics too early. That’s perfect. When we send him to kindergarten, we won’t teach him the Four Books and Five Classics. We’ll just teach him some simple things.”
