Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 187 We are going to school
The next day, just as the front door of the courtyard was opened, two figures left one after the other.

The first one to come out was naturally Yang Xiaotao.

This time I went back mainly to see the construction of the school, and by the way, told everyone about the support from above, so that the villagers could rest assured.

Then it is to determine the school's regulations to facilitate enrollment.

Yang Xiaotao carried a backpack, a uniform, and a watch, and went into battle lightly.

Ten minutes after Yang Xiaotao left, Qin Huairu was neatly dressed, with cream on her face, and a smell of washing powder on her body.

Behind him, Xiao Dang was still dazed lying on his stomach, with a cloth pocket on his wrist, which contained the things he brought home.

The two of them walked the same path, but they went further and further away.

Before noon, Yang Xiaotao trotted all the way back to Yangjiazhuang.

After improving his physical fitness, this kind of speed, which is similar to a long-distance march, does not have much pressure at all.

Even had to stop and rest, just drank some water and ate a candy bar to rehydrate.

When Yang Xiaotao came to Yangjiazhuang, the people in the village packed up the farm tools and enjoyed the last free time while the land was still open.

When they saw Yang Xiaotao coming back, they greeted him along the way. In their eyes, this was a boy from the village who was dedicated to being a good guy in the village.

When they came to the brigade, Yang Dazhuang and Yang Shitou came out first when they got the news.

"Are you free to come back today?"

"Well, I have to come back today."

With that said, Yang Xiaotao removed the backpack behind him and took out the documents inside.

"I have discussed with Hongxing Primary School. As long as we start here, we can buy books and stationery from their channels."

"Also, this is the support from above for our establishment of the school. With 500 yuan, you can buy office supplies. This is a big deal."

Yang Xiaotao took out the documents, and Mr. Yang who came over after hearing the news all looked excited.

With the approval of the superior, I have a bottom in my heart.

Back in the brigade headquarters, several people began to discuss the specific regulations.

Before Yang Xiaotao came back, Yangjiazhuang had already made preparations, but everyone felt that Yang Xiaotao hadn't made up his mind, so they felt a little empty.

Now that Yang Xiaotao came back with good news, his heart immediately fell on the ground.

"The house in the east of the village has been built, and the tables and stools are ready."

Yang Dazhuang introduced it, and Uncle Jiu took out a notebook. Among the people in this room, Uncle Jiu was the one who could read the most.

He is also Yang Shitou's third uncle.

Yangjiazhuang is all related by blood, so it is normal for them to be called differently.

This time, before finding a suitable teacher, Uncle Jiu will temporarily lead the children to read and write.

As for Mr. Yang, he served as the principal.

Only his old man sits here, and those in the village who don't want their children to go to school dare to shut up.

To keep the school running.

Uncle Jiu nodded to Yang Xiaotao and began to introduce the situation in the village.

"In our village, there are a total of 15 children between the ages of six and 107, and 81 children under the age of six."

"Among them, there are forty between the ages of six and eight!"

After Uncle Jiu finished speaking, everyone looked at Yang Xiaotao.

After Yang Xiaotao heard it, he was also surprised.

Unexpectedly, there are so many children in the village.

When I usually come back, I don’t see much!
After a while, I figured it out again, I don't wear much these days, it's cold, and many children are kept at home.

Only when the weather is warm can I dare to release it.

And at this time, boys and girls are over fifteen, and they work with their parents.

Many people are already good at tidying up the crops. They usually work in the fields, and Yang Xiaotao doesn't see many of them.

Everyone was waiting for Yang Xiaotao to get the charter, and Yang Xiaotao was unambiguous.

According to the model of Hongxing Primary School, these children must be divided into several classes of different ages.

But the situation here in Yangjiazhuang is different. If you really want to divide them, they are all at the kindergarten level.

So, regardless of age, start in first grade.

"I think so……"

Immediately, Yang Xiaotao took out the sorting rules and put them on the table, and explained them.

Everyone discussed until evening before finalizing the matter.

Then Yang Xiaotao returned home to rest, and the others also went home.

Of course, some things still need to be done.

At the east end of Yangjiazhuang, two children ran around in the scattered yard with their non-heeled shoes. A half-grown girl was cleaning the pot in the house. The mother beside her was a little stooped, with gray hair on her temples.

"Mom, I'm not going to school!"

The girl lowered her head to work, her voice neither happy nor sad!
After hearing what the eldest daughter said, the woman struggled.

Finally, it turned into a sigh.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the two children quickly opened the door, only to see Yang Dazhuang walking in.

"Little Gouzi, are your mother and sister at home?"

The older of the two children immediately pointed to the room. Yang Dazhuang looked at the two children and walked into the room.

"Village Chief, why are you here?"

Seeing that it was Yang Dazhuang, the woman immediately came out to greet him.

But the girl in the room dodged a little and walked into the back room.

"Come here this time to tell you something!"

Yang Dazhuang said directly, "I know your family is in difficulties. Men leave early, and it's not easy for a family."

"Village chief, what are you talking about? I don't hold back the brigade on weekdays!"

"Don't get excited, listen to me."

Yang Dazhuang knew that he touched the self-esteem of a woman, so he quickly explained.

"There is a school in the village, and all the children in the village, from six to fifteen years old, have to go to school. Ye Zi and Puppy are both old enough, the grandfather said, let them go to school."

The woman listened, but did not speak in a hurry.

Hesitation and grievance appeared on his face.

Yang Dazhuang knew what she was worried about, and he also saw the squatting figure in the room.

"Don't worry about anything!"

"There is money in the village, and children who go to school have one meal a day, and the village supplies it, which will definitely make them full!"

"Schools and supplies are all free."

"Xiaotao said, there will be rewards for studying well! What else do you worry about?"

"Okay, I still have to go next door, so hurry up and tell Ye Zi and Xiao Gouzi that you will go to school in two days!"

After Yang Dazhuang finished speaking, he went out.

In the house, Ye Zi ran out, and the woman suddenly laughed when she saw the expression on her eldest daughter.

Laughing and laughing, tears flowed.
The village has already paid a lot, why do they hesitate?

"Yezi, you have to go to school. You have to study hard."

The woman stroked her daughter's hair, Ye Zi definitely nodded.

"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely study hard and get rewards!"

"Hey, good!"

Ye Zi ran to the puppy, talking happily.

The woman's heart trembled, and she finally saw a smile belonging to this age group on her face.

Outside the door, the little Gouzi who was leading his younger brother to play had a confused expression on his face. For him, he really didn't know what going to school was.

The woman looked at the children in the yard, but she knew clearly in her heart.

All of this was brought by that person.

He is the lucky star of Yangjiazhuang!
Next door, Yang Dazhuang's voice sounded again.

This time there was a quarrel, and an old voice was vaguely heard.

"...What books do girls read..."

"What's the matter? If you don't accept it, go tell the grandfather to see if he doesn't break your leg..."

"I……"

The sound lasted for a while, and then the sound of the door being pushed open.

After a while, two girls from the next door came running over.

"Sister Yezi, Sister Yezi, we are going to school!"

"Da Ni, Er Ni, we too, went to school together."

……

This evening, the voices of Yang Dazhuang and others kept coming from Yangjiazhuang, and then, the children who seemed to understand each other listened to the conversation of the adults, with smiles on their faces.

It was also this evening that the new generation of Yangjiazhuang began to embark on the road of seeking knowledge.

As night fell, Yang Xiaotao was still planning the future in the village, and proposed a series of measures to ensure the operation of the school.

Among them, the learning reward system is his handwriting.

Of course, this reward will not be many, but it can stimulate children's self-motivation.

In this era, stick education occupies the mainstream, unlike later generations to reduce the burden, and students cannot move a finger.

These days, what parents often say is, "If xx is disobedient, you will beat me to death, teacher!"

Yang Xiaotao shouldered this reward alone, which also strengthened the determination of Mr. Yang and others to run the school.

The next day, Yang Xiaotao took Yang Dazhuang to Sijiu City in a donkey cart.

This time, I want to buy back the items promised by the superior.

Similarly, Qin Huairu, who left from Qinjia Village, returned to the courtyard at noon.

When she returned to Qinjia Village this time, Qin Huairu clearly felt that the atmosphere in the village was not friendly to her.

Especially the few sisters who were good friends before getting married, went to say hello by themselves, but they all hurriedly put down a few words and turned to go home.

That posture was like seeing a plague.

Qin Huairu felt uncomfortable, it was only because these people were jealous of her, who made her marry in the city?

Look at what they are wearing, look at their faces, and then look at herself, she only feels that she has more face if she is stronger.

With his head held high, he led the curious little Dang back home.

Qin's mother was naturally happy to see her daughter and niece coming back, and hurriedly greeted her into the house.

But Qin's father and elder brother and sister-in-law had a bad look on their faces.

Especially when my sister-in-law was pregnant, it was a sensitive time, and she looked at her with hostility.

Qin Huairu ignored him. After she was at home, this big brother was a boring gourd, and he could only be bullied by her.

When I got home and took out the things, the faces of the family members changed again.

This is what she expected.

But after she told her purpose this time, the whole room was deserted, and even Mother Qin's eyes when she looked at her became cold.

In the end, it was Qin's father who got angry and yelled at her.

Only then did Qin Huairu know what was going on.

The surrounding villages all use the corn seeds from Yangjiazhuang to gain benefits, but their village has no face to ask for seeds because of her relationship with Yang Xiaotao.

I had no choice but to steal some ready-made corn as seeds. Unexpectedly, during the autumn harvest last year, the production was directly reduced on a large scale, and the whole village ended up borrowing grain from Yangjiazhuang.

That day, their uncle, the village head, went to Yangjiazhuang cheekily, and stayed at home for a whole day after he came back.

I lost my face!
She finally understood why those people looked at her abnormally when she entered the village.

It turned out to be her business.

Seeing his father's stern face, and his daughter's crying, Qin Huairu couldn't help but shed tears.

At this time, she felt regret in her heart!
