The old woman responded hesitantly.
Then he heard what Lao Ma said in his ear, and Zhou Lizheng immediately understood.
"If you have anything to say, just tell me. I am the village head and I can make the decision." Zhou Lizheng said to the woman from the Sun family.
The woman looked confused and could not speak for a long time. Master Ma asked, "Are you alone?"
The woman shook her head and said, "No, my husband is outside..."
In fact, at this time, everyone could guess the purpose of Sun Xiucai and his wife's visit. The bamboo craftsman whispered, "How about I go and call Daya out?"
Zhou Lizheng thought about it and shook his head, "No need!"
The school is not big to begin with, and having a Master Yi is enough. Having another Scholar Sun would be redundant.
Zhou Lizheng said to the woman, "Would you like to invite Mr. Sun into the house for a chat?"
"Okay, I'll go call him right away!" The woman was delighted and hurried out to call someone.
Mr. Sun was standing outside the door at this time, and he could see a general idea through the open door.
I originally thought it was just children playing around, but I didn't expect this school to be so organized. I'm afraid it's comparable to the schools in the same county.
Although I disdain the fact that this place is managed by a woman, I would not be unacceptable if I could teach and educate people here.
When he heard that the villagers were inviting him in, Mr. Sun became even more satisfied.
There were many people in the room, but only Zhou Lizheng stood up to greet them. Master Ma had no intention of getting up. The bamboo craftsman was also sitting aside with a smile on his face.
After exchanging a few polite words with Mr. Sun, Li Zheng Zhou asked, "Mr. Sun, what is the important matter that brought you here?"
Sun Xiucai's face froze for a moment before he said, "Your village invited me to be a teacher in the school some time ago. After careful consideration, I came today."
Master Ma immediately spoke up to interrupt.
"Sun Xiucai, that's not what you said. You looked down on the girl at that time, and the girl looked down on you. Why did you come here by yourself today when the door opened?"
After saying this, Master Ma was also feeling angry.
Sun Xiucai said angrily, "How can a cowherd like you have the right to speak here?"
"If it's not his turn, do you think it's your turn?" Zhou Lizheng said sternly.
As for people with honors, Zhou Lizheng still wanted to treat them with courtesy as much as possible, but as for Mr. Sun, Zhou Lizheng understood why Song Yuehua looked down on him.
"Village head, I came here from Daozhu Village, and you just let people humiliate me like this?" Sun Xiucai shook off his wife's attempt to pull him away and asked loudly.
Zhou Lizheng didn't want to talk to him any more, so he just said, "Mr. Sun, you are a little late. The school already has a teacher. You can go back now."
Have a husband?
Sun Xiucai said unwillingly, "I am a scholar!"
"Master Yi is also a scholar with great achievements." Zhou Lizheng said.
Mr. Sun suddenly felt empty inside. His wife beside him looked worried and asked Zhou Lizheng, "Is there really no chance?"
Zhou Lizheng shook his head and said, "It's just a small village, one teacher is enough!"
The old wife had no choice but to pull Mr. Sun. Only then did he come to his senses and saw that everyone was ready to see him off. Mr. Sun had never suffered such humiliation before, so he threw his sleeves heavily and left in anger.
"well……"
Zhou Lizheng sighed heavily. One can imagine how difficult it was for Song Yuehua to find a teacher.
At this time, Song Yuehua was flipping through the account books in the study, calculating how many books she could get back today, and was completely unaware of what was happening outside.
The Zhou family elders sent two boys, one was 10 years old and named Zhou Zheng, the other was 6 years old and named Zhou Qi.
The He family and the Su family also sent a boy each, 6-year-old He Lei and 5-year-old Su Yuanbao.
At the end of the day, only one girl, Zhu Qingqing, was accepted.
Song Yuehua was not disappointed. This was only the first day, and the school door would be open from now on. When they figured it out, they could be admitted at any time.
I sold pens, ink, paper and inkstone today, and calculated that they cost over 33 taels.
The deposit soared to 63 taels of silver.
Before starting formal school, all the children were divided into two classes.
One is a small class for students who are just starting to learn to read and write. There are students like Chen Shu, Chen Lin, Ma Long, Ma Hu, Song Dalang, Zhu Qingqing, Lan Yu, Zhao Doudou, Zhou Zheng, Zhou Qi, He Lei and Su Yuanbao, who have absolutely no basic knowledge of reading and writing.
As for Zhang Ruochu and Song Xiaocao, their basic skills are too poor, so they have to be placed in a small class for practice.
The others were assigned to the large class.
When Song Xiaocao saw that Zhang Ruochu was also in the small class, she immediately felt relieved.
While Xie Yu teaches the small class, she also studies in the large class.
The large class that Master Yi is in charge of includes Zhang Rushan and Xie Yu, who are very talented and make rapid progress, as well as Song Yuxuan and Bai Shu, who are very hardworking.
As for Zhou Xiaohu and Xie Wenwu, they at least had some basic knowledge and were also assigned to the large class.
Zhou Xiaohu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Song Xiaocao was assigned to the small class.
Ever since Song Xiaocao entered the Zhou family, she was assigned to live in the innermost room. On weekdays, the two of them would try to avoid it if possible.
Zhou Xiaohu naturally knew that Song Xiaocao was not wrong, but he just couldn't face Song Xiaocao frankly.
When I was in elementary school, I could choose not to go if I wanted to. But if I am so casual now, I will probably be skinned alive by my dad.
Fortunately, we were not assigned to the same class. I see you every day. The thought of it makes me suffocate.
After the classes were divided, each began teaching.
The students' parents all took the initiative to take hoes to open up wasteland on the East Mountain, and Song Yuehua also became busy.
The books in schools nowadays are all enlightenment reading materials, which are fine for freshmen, but not enough for students like Zhang Rushan and Xie Yu who are progressing faster.
Last night, Master Yi wrote a list of books, more than twenty books, and if he really wanted to buy them all, it would definitely be a huge expense.
Since I can’t buy it, I can only think of other ways.
Egret College.
Song Yuehua looked up and exclaimed, "What a big plaque!"
