Ever since Zhu Wenyan started living at home, Grandma Wang has become busier and has almost no time to come to the Song family.
After moving to the Dongshan compound, Grandma Lan was busy growing vegetables and feeding pigs. Madam Xia had to prepare meals for several people in the school, do housework, and take care of the vegetable garden outside the school. She was also busy all day long.
Dabao and Xiaobao can only be taken care of by Song Yuehua every day. Now it is spring, when there are the most mountain products in the mountains, and she can only watch helplessly.
There is also the White Snake Immortal in the mountains. I haven’t visited it for a long time.
In a few days, the temporary workers on Dongshan Mountain will also go back, and those who stay behind should prepare some farm tools for them to work as long-term workers. We can't ask them to bring their own farm tools.
We also need to stock up on food at home.
The problem now is that there is no one to help look after Dabao and Xiaobao.
It is easy to hire someone in the village, but Song Yuehua always felt uneasy. After much thought, she asked Zong Yi to call Tian to her home to help with the work.
Tian had already signed a long-term worker contract, so it was natural to ask her to come over.
Moreover, she had met Tian several times and had a good impression of him.
Tian herself had extensive experience in taking care of children, and since she knew that the child was her employer's, she paid more attention to him. Song Yuehua felt relieved after watching her take care of the child for two days.
We arrived at the county town the next day.
As soon as Song Yuehua entered the blacksmith shop, she was warmly welcomed.
After offering 10 hoes and 10 sickles, the blacksmith smiled more sincerely.
The total amount was 20 taels of silver. After paying the bill, he looked up and saw a spear.
Because only the spear head was made of iron and it only cost 500 Wen, Song Yuehua took it and asked the blacksmith to send it together.
When he was about to pay, the blacksmith stopped him and said with a smile, "Miss Song is a regular customer of our store. This gun can be considered a bonus."
Extra?
I don't have the impression that the blacksmith is such a generous person, and I always feel that this conversation is too familiar.
Sure enough, the topic changed, and the blacksmith boss said flatteringly, "I heard from my father-in-law that the school in the village was opened by a girl. Last year, they did not accept students from other places. I wonder if they will accept them this year?"
I see.
Song Yuehua remembered that the blacksmith was the son-in-law of the bamboo strip craftsman, so she repeated to the blacksmith what she had said to the pigherd.
The blacksmith was delighted at first, then said, "I have two daughters at home, I don't know if it will have any impact."
"It doesn't affect you," Song Yuehua said with a smile, "You will receive additional benefits when you enroll."
After hearing this, the blacksmith was moved. He looked behind him, picked up an axe and put it into Song Yuehua's hand, saying, "Miss Song, this is for you!"
Song Yuehua, "..."
"No need," Song Yuehua put down the axe and said, "Tomorrow at noon, take the child to school, and give me the hoe and sickle."
"Don't worry, Miss Song. We will deliver everything to you without missing a single item." The blacksmith said happily.
Next, go to the grocery store.
The price of rice did not come down, but the price of flour dropped from 35 cents back to 30 cents.
There are still dozens of kilograms of rice and over a hundred kilograms of brown rice at home. We don’t eat much flour, but we still have over a hundred kilograms of corn. The school eats it up quickly, so there isn’t much left. Now that the population has increased, we have to prepare more.
Now that I don’t have enough money, I can only buy corn. The original price was 15 wen per pound, and later it increased to 18 wen.
Song Yuehua planned to buy more, and discussed with the shopkeeper, and decided to buy more, a total of 1,000 kilograms of corn, at the original price of 15 cents per kilogram.
The shopkeeper wanted 1,500 kilograms before he agreed to lower the price.
Song Yuehua thought about it and agreed. She had to eat anyway, so it wouldn't be a big problem to stock up a little more.
1,500 kilograms of corn, 24 taels of silver, and 2,000 sacks, 3 jars of salt, and 10 kilograms of brown sugar.
When settling the bill, the boss rounded off the amount and the total bill was 28 taels of silver.
When the store delivered the goods, Song Yuehua went back with them.
300 kilograms of corn were distributed to the school, 200 kilograms were kept at home, and the remaining 1,000 kilograms of corn, 2 jars of salt, and 10 kilograms of brown sugar were all sent to Dongshan compound.
So far, there are 286 taels of silver left.
The next day, the blacksmith not only brought a sickle, a hoe and a spear, but also forced an axe in.
The blacksmith's two daughters, one was 5 years old and named Zhao Xiaofu, the other was 7 years old and named Zhao Tieniang.
After bringing the two children into the school, Master Yi asked them questions one by one before allowing Xie Yu to take them to Class D.
Blacksmith Zhao was really good to his two daughters. He was ready to buy yellow paper for them just when they started school. It was Song Yuehua who persuaded them, saying that the little girls couldn't even hold a pen, so they didn't need such good paper for the time being.
In the end, each person bought an inkstone, a piece of paper, two brushes, a bottle of ink, and a book.
It was rare to meet such a generous parent, so Song Yuehua took 40 cents and received a total of 13 taels of silver.
As soon as the Zhao sisters entered Class D, they greeted Zhu Qingqing excitedly.
Xie Yu asked the three little sisters to sit together and also told them in advance that if the three did not study seriously and affected each other, they would not only have to sit separately but also be assigned to other classes.
Zhu Qingqing said quickly, "Master Xie, rest assured, I will study hard."
Xie Yu didn't believe it, but she would keep an eye on it.
There are 16 students in Class D, and there are 7 new students this year. Xie Yu discussed with Master Yi about dividing the class. On the one hand, it was to consider the progress, and on the other hand, they wanted to separate the naughty students.
As the number of classes increases, the time of two people will also be divided up. If it is divided too much, the progress of teaching will be much slower.
After Song Yuehua found out, she took the list and checked each student's academic progress. She said, "Promote those who should be promoted. Divide the new students this year and the remaining students from last year into two classes. Let Zhang Rushan take one class every day. It will be good for him to review what he has learned and learn new things."
"Then we can take this opportunity to promote Ruochu and Xiaocao to Class C," Xie Yu hesitated, "But Rushan is interested in taking the imperial examination, will it delay him..."
