The tuition list for the next semester. Didn't I pay 1,000 taels last time? Isn't that a year's tuition? Did I misunderstand or remember it wrong?
Zhang Dongxiang felt a bad feeling in his mind.
Holding his grandson in one hand, he lowered his head and began to study the tuition list in the other.
It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it, but once he did, Zhang Dongxiang's face turned pale.
He hadn't even seen how much he had to pay, but the line of items listing various fees below already made him feel dizzy.
Meal expenses, teaching materials, preschool education, teaching aid depreciation, field trip expenses... the most outrageous thing is the lighting expenses! ?
Why are you charging for lighting? Are you crazy about money? Children this age don’t read at night!
Zhang Dongxiang was slow to respond and looked a little unhappy.
In addition to him, many senior officials who were picking up their children at the gate of Yucai Primary School were also petrified.
A gust of wind blew by.
A sad and angry voice rang out: "This guy...isn't this just greedy for money?"
"Fang Zhengyi, this is blackmail! Isn't this hooliganism? Ah! He tricked us into coming to school and then slaughtered us like pigs!"
"All these add up to almost five thousand taels of silver. Five thousand taels! It's enough to raise ten children!"
If there weren't probably children present, many people would have started cursing.
I can only start to accuse this despicable man using slightly milder language.
Listening to the voice coming from his ear, Zhang Dongxiang was shaking with anger!
One thousand taels, just treat it as feeding the dog! Don't come next semester, okay?
He held the child tightly in his arms and said softly, "Ling'er, we don't want to study here anymore. Let's go home."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Ling burst into tears: "No, I want to study! I want to study!"
At the same time, the children around burst into tears.
The parents present were so confused that Zhang Dong coaxed and deceived them, "Ling'er, our home is much better than this. We have everything we want. We don't have to fight with others. We have everything at home."
"I want a classmate to play with me. Is there one at home?"
"Uh... not this one, but there will be one in the future."
"Is there a kindergarten teacher at home? They tell us stories every night."
"This...this is fine. Grandpa will help you find a few more!"
"I want Principal Fang, do you have any at home?"
"Why do you need him? Grandpa is much more knowledgeable than him and knows more than him. Grandpa can teach you whatever you want to learn."
Looking at Zhang Dongxiang's old face, Zhang Ling showed disdain: "Grandpa can't possibly know more than Principal Fang."
What? I don't know as much as he does?!
Zhang Dong was quite angry at the scene: "Then tell me, what does your principal Fang know?"
"I passed the imperial examination at the age of fifteen. Grandpa, have you ever passed the imperial examination at the age of fifteen?"
Zhang Dongxiang's old face turned red: "Jinshi are also divided into grades, and grandpa is much higher than him."
At the age of fifteen, this talent is indeed incredible, but he once doubted it.
Fang Zhengyi, this boy, seems to be uneducated, but he was able to pass the imperial examination at the age of fifteen. Was it because the imperial examination was not strict during the years of the Ganjing War? It is possible!
There were a few people who passed the imperial examination at the age of fifteen in history, so why did this lazy fellow have to take the exam? !
Zhang Ling counted on his fingers and continued, "Grandpa, do you know who was the first person to discover sweet potatoes?"
"Who is it?"
"It's Principal Fang."
"Do you know who was the first person to discover potatoes? It was also Principal Fang." Zhang Ling listed them all, "At the age of 17, Principal Fang observed the sky at night and discovered black holes with his naked eyes. At the age of 18, he invented the transistor. At the age of 20, he founded calculus..."
What! What! What! What are you talking about? !
Zhang Dongxiang was completely confused. He looked around and saw that all the parents were listening to their children talking about Principal Fang's magical invention with bewildered faces.
Finally, when Zhang Ling finished explaining everything, Zhang Dongxiang said with a gloomy face, "What kind of nonsense are you learning? How come you remember it so clearly? Is this all that is taught in Yucai Primary School?"
Zhang Ling said, "These are all the contents of the exam. Principal Fang said that we should remember them for the rest of our lives and pass them on to the next generation. Once we have memorized them, he will teach us everything he has learned throughout his life."
"That day, Principal Fang gave us a lecture, praising us for our good learning. He even knocked on the podium and cried, reciting a poem on the spot... Well, the silkworm will not stop spinning silk until it dies, and the candle will not stop shedding tears until it turns into ashes."
The silkworm will not stop spinning silk until it dies, and the candle will not stop shedding tears until it turns into ashes?
The poem is very good, which shows that Fang Zheng is very concerned about his children's education, but he taught them some inexplicable things.
"There should be two more lines in this poem, right? What do those two lines mean?" Zhang Dongxiang asked curiously.
"That's all. Just these two sentences."
"......"
OK, it seems that the class was indeed taught by Fang Zhengyi himself. There is still some missing in the poetry writing, and most people can't do it.
"Didn't Principal Fang teach you anything else?" Zhang Dongxiang's expression softened.
Zhang Ling smiled and said, "Yes, I have learned a lot! For example, how to prove that we are from Dajing in one sentence."
"What?" Zhang Dongxiang's expression gradually became strange.
"A strong youth means a strong country. We drank the free milk from Yucai Primary School..."
Listening to his grandson's chatter, Zhang Dongxiang gradually smiled.
This sounds like a human being, but how can the fucking milk be free? I didn’t pay the tuition? Fang Zhengyi is such a bastard, he even cheated on his children!
Damn it for carrying contraband!
"Alright, alright, Ling'er, let's go home first."
Zhang Dongxiang picked up Zhang Ling and walked towards the sedan chair. Zhang Ling began to struggle, muttering: "I don't want to go home, I want to study in Yucai!"
