Master Qian was also happy to have one more student. After a brief discussion, Master Qian agreed to accept Qian Xingshan as his student.
Qian Chunhua paid half a year's tuition in one lump sum.
Two taels of silver per person, six taels of silver for three people. The school does not provide lunch, so you have to eat at home.
It is said that after the three of them started school that day, Qian Chunhua took Qingsong away from the school.
Until Qian Chunhua walked away, Master Qian couldn't believe what he had just heard. Is Sister Chunhua crazy? Not only did she let the boys in her family go to school, she also let her daughter go to school. Many landlords would not let their daughters go to school.
It was not until Zhao Xiufen came to his side that Master Qian shook his head as if awakened from a dream, "Incredible, incredible, Sister Chunhua is really..., too incredible."
Zhao Xiufen didn't care about Qian Chunhua's status. She happily put the six taels of silver in her hand and weighed it. It was enough to cover her family's expenses for the year.
After Qian Chunhua finished arranging Qingsong's schooling, he had to go to the county town to stock up on food today. Even if it was just for show, Qian Chunhua had to make this trip.
Qian Chunhua was preparing to push a wheelbarrow. He couldn't carry so much food by himself. It would not be appropriate to take Xingshan or Qingsong with him, and it would not be convenient for him to cheat.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang..." The sound of a gong suddenly rang out.
This was the signal for Village Chief Wang to call all the villagers of Huanghualing to hold a meeting under the old locust tree.
Judging from the situation, Village Chief Wang intends to tell the villagers of Huanghualing about what he reminded them of last night. He is indeed a responsible village chief.
Let Qingsong's family take care of their younger brothers and sisters, Qian Chunhua and Qian Li came together under the old locust tree.
There were already quite a few people gathered under the old locust tree, with their hands clasped and their feet stamped, making as much noise as if they were at a market.
The village chief stood on the big rock under the old locust tree and struck the gong again, "Bang bang bang..."
"Silence, silence!"
The crowd gradually quieted down.
The village chief's voice rang out, "Fellow villagers, I heard from a passing caravan yesterday that the world is not peaceful now. There are locust plagues, bandits, and even refugees. Now the wealthy families in the county have begun to hoard large amounts of food. The price of food has risen."
Qian Chunhua felt relieved by the village chief's words. The village chief was referring to the passing caravan and did not mention himself.
The village chief then said, "From today on, fellow villagers of Huanghualing, don't be greedy for small gains. When you see that the grain price is rising, you should sell your stored grain. Let me find out who is selling grain, and don't come to me when you are short of grain.
If you don't have much food stored at home, hurry up and go out to buy food today. Make sure your family has enough food for at least one year.
As everyone knows, there has not been a drop of rain in Nanzhou County since the Mid-Autumn Festival. With this weather, it is hard to say whether there will be rain in the spring of the next year. If there is no rain, spring sowing will be ruined.
Therefore, we must keep enough food, life-saving food, as it is life-saving food for the whole family.
In addition to the food shortage, this winter is unusually cold. According to experienced elders, there may be a cold wave, so each household should prepare firewood for heating.
There is firewood on Lion Rock, so everyone should be diligent. While it is not too cold now, prepare more firewood for home."
Before the village chief had finished speaking, the villagers under the old locust tree could no longer hold back.
Li Cuihong spoke the loudest. "The village chief is trying to scare us, tricking us into buying expensive grain, and bullying us because we don't understand. The locust plague happened in Da'an Prefecture, which is a million miles away from us. How can it affect our Nanzhou County?"
Li Cuihong's words were recognized by some people.
Li Cuihong was complacent, thanks to her brother-in-law who told them last night and let her know where the locust plague occurred.
