There is still a queue outside the school.
Even Zhao Ergou, who had never had a proper job, came with his son Zhao Doudou to sign up.
After hearing the price of books and ink, Zhao Ergou was stunned. Although the money his wife gave him was enough, he still felt it was too extravagant.
Zhao Doudou looked up and said to his father, "Father, I'm still young and I can't learn anything. I'd rather use this money to buy you some wine."
"This is not good. What if your mother knew about it..." Zhao Ergou was a little tempted and scratched his head and smiled.
Zhao Doudou said, "Don't worry, Dad. Just say it was my idea."
"That's a deal!" Zhao Ergou said, and left with Zhao Doudou.
Zhou Lizheng, Ma Ye, "..." Are these father and son here to make people laugh?
After Zhao Ergou left, Zhou Baozhu and her two sons came in. The eldest son was 6 years old and his name was Chen Shu, and the younger son was 4 years old and his name was Chen Lin.
Zhou Baozhu led her two sons over and stood over with a smile on her face.
Zhou Lizheng quoted the price and asked, "Which ones do you want?"
"Let Dad make the decision." Zhou Baozhu said.
Zhou Lizheng said nothing, and wrote down two books, two pens, an inkstone, two pieces of paper, and two inkstones, and then said, "Two strings of cash and four cents."
Zhou Baozhu happily paid the money and together with Zhou Ergui led the student into the school.
After the person left, Zhou Lizheng took out four taels of silver from his pocket and threw it into the money box.
"Old ghost!" Old Ma, who was standing by, snorted when he saw this.
Zhou Lizheng laughed and scolded him, "Old thing!"
Chen Shu and Chen Lin met the teacher in the study. Xiaoyu put on her book bag and led the two kids to the lecture hall. After giving them instructions, she looked at them nervously.
Chen Shu looked around and asked, "Sister Xiaoyu, is the teacher giving a lecture today?"
"There are a lot of people enrolling today, and classes will start tomorrow!" Xiaoyu replied.
Chen Shu smiled and said, "Then I will go home with Xiaolin first and come back tomorrow."
"Okay." Xiaoyu said happily.
The next person surprised Zhou Lizheng.
"Uncle Zhou..." Song Da called out in a low voice with a reserved look on his face.
Zhou Lizheng glanced at Song Dalang standing beside him and said, "One child, two acres of wasteland, do you know this requirement?"
Song Da hurriedly said, "I know, I know!"
Song Da knew what he needed for studying, so he bought everything he needed, a total of 1 string and 2 cents.
After everyone left, Lao Ma asked, "Song Dalang is already 13 years old, is this okay?"
Zhou Lizheng nodded. Although he was a little too old, there was still time for him to learn a few words.
As long as he doesn't cause trouble, let the child study if he wants to.
"Ah..." The two old men sighed deeply.
"What's the matter, Master Zhou, Master Ma?" Erguotou sat aside carelessly, looking unserious.
Master Ma frowned and asked unhappily, "What are you doing here?"
Erguotou laughed and said, "Uncle Ma is right. If there is a school in the village, I will sign up for it!"
"You are too old, go back!" Lao Ma waved his hand and drove the man away.
The children in the village have a hard time getting an education, so they can’t let a second-rate guy like Erguotou mess up their education.
Erguotou tilted his head and looked at Zhou Lizheng and said, "Master Zhou, you didn't say that the elderly are not allowed to enter. Why are you targeting me as soon as I come in?"
Zhou Li remained calm and said, "You are 18 years old, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others when you sit with a five-year-old?"
"Who said I want to sit with a kid?" Er Guotou said disdainfully, "Isn't there a martial arts master? I'll learn from him."
Zhou Li said seriously, "To learn martial arts, you need to open up two mu of wasteland and cut 200 loads of firewood as tuition. Also, Master Duan is injured and needs to stay in bed for two months. You can report back after two months."
"Huh?" Erguotou was a little skeptical, "This Master is too weak, is this okay?"
"Master Duan injured his muscles and bones in the fight with Xiong Bo. He is really not good enough. You should choose another famous teacher!" Zhou Lizheng said lightly.
A few days ago, a dead bear was taken away from the village. Erguotou was busy with things in the city and didn't listen carefully. Could it be the work of this Mr. Wu?
Erguotou immediately understood and said, "I will come to your house to become your disciple in two months. Master Zhou, Master Ma, I am leaving first!"
Lao Ma asked, "If he doesn't like it, just let him be. Why are you wasting your words?"
Zhou Lizheng sighed and said, "At his age, he doesn't marry and spends his days doing nothing. It's a bit of a stretch for him to study literature, but it's appropriate for him to learn martial arts. Only when he has something to do can he walk on the right path."
"Goody-goody..." Old Ma cursed in a low voice and said nothing more.
After a while, Grandma Lan from the village came over with her little grandson.
Granny Lan lost her husband early in life and finally found a wife for her son. However, the couple drowned while out shopping, leaving behind only a baby son.
Grandma Lan relied on a few acres of thin land to raise her grandson until he was 5 years old.
Li Zheng Zhou hurriedly welcomed the people in. Granny Lan asked, "Li Zheng, can my little Yu also be sent to the village school?"
"Yes, of course!" Zhou Lizheng said hurriedly.
Granny Lan took out a handkerchief that contained all her belongings. "I heard from the villagers that the school doesn't charge money, but requires work. I'm afraid I'm too slow to work, so I'd better take some money to make up for it. Is that okay with you?"
"Grandma, I don't want to study!" Lan Yu said stubbornly.
How can he study when his grandma is sick and can't even afford medicine?
Granny Lan coaxed, "Xiaoyu needs to study to have a bright future. Be obedient, okay!"
"The school has monthly exams. As long as you get first place, you will be rewarded with 100 coins," said Zhou Lizheng.
"Really?" Lan Yu asked with his eyes wide open.
Zhou Lizheng said, "Really."
Song Yuehua had also anticipated special situations like this.
