Born into a farm family, I became rich by pressuring my parents.

Chapter 28 Girls’ School

Jiang Mingshun was shocked when he heard this: "Is there actually a private school recruiting female students in this town?"

It’s no wonder he was so surprised. There was an old scholar in Huangtian Village who never passed the exams in his whole life, so he opened a private school in the village to teach children how to read.

The villagers in Huangtian Village are living a pretty good life, and if they have some spare money, they are willing to let their children know two characters.

Over the past few decades, it has become a common practice in Huangtian Village to send their school-age children to study for two years and learn a few words.

Jiang Mingshun also attended the village school for two years.

It's just that when he was studying, the school didn't accept female students. Even if there were sisters coming to bring meals to the brothers, the teacher would not let them enter the courtyard.

Bai Shi said: "I heard that a new private school for girls has opened in the town, and the teacher is also a female teacher."

Jiang Mingshun was even more shocked. Now there were not only female students, but also female teachers?

Bai's face was mysterious: "I heard from the eldest sister that the husband was originally the daughter of a scholar in Fucheng, and he kept watch over the widow before he came through. Now that he is older, his natal family has become the nephew's, so she came to our place. A small place to retire.”

"But how many families here are willing to send their daughters to girls' schools? She is going to start a loss-making business." Jiang Mingshun said firmly.

Bai rolled her eyes at the man: "Who said there is no one? It is being spread in the town that this girls' school can teach girls to become ladies of the world!"

"The female students who come out of here are all dignified, self-restrained, polite, gentle and gentle."

After saying that, she looked at her daughter with regret and thought, it's a pity that they are a wealthy family and they don't have the opportunity to let her daughter join in and learn how to be a "lady".

Jiang Jinyu was happily listening to the gossip: "..."

See what she does?Doesn't her mother want her to go to "Yuzhang Academy"?

Yes, after listening to Bai's description of the girls' school, Jiang Jinyu decisively identified it as a place similar to Yuzhang Academy.

Send good girls in and turn them into assembly line products, so that they can serve families and men willingly.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jinyu shuddered severely. She would not go there even if she was killed.

What she didn't know was that Jiang Mingshun was also thinking about this matter.

He didn't want to send Jiang Jinyu to the girls' school in the town. What he thought was that since the female gentleman was from Fucheng, there must be a girls' school in Fucheng, right?
Since it exists in prefectural cities, why not also in county towns?

Yes, Jiang Mingshun felt that the county town was better than the town, and the schools in the county town were naturally better than those in the town.

He couldn't afford to send it to the prefectural city, so he must try it in the county town.

There was no need to rush this matter, Jiang Mingshun just thought about it in his mind and then let it go.

Early the next morning, the guys from the carpentry shop helped carry the tables, chairs and benches into the house.

The originally empty house was instantly filled with smoke and smoke.

Jiang Jinyu added a wardrobe, a kang cabinet, and a kang table to her room, which she personally selected that day.

She put all the clothes that were piled on the edge of the kang into the closet, thinking to herself, it's not easy, she can finally live in a normal house.

Jiang Mingshun personally sent the guys to the river and watched them row away before turning back.

As soon as he entered the door, he felt the warmth radiating from the room.

Although there is no kang in the main room, there is a fire wall, so now the whole room feels warm.

Jiang Mingshun picked up the hot water handed over by Jiang Jinyu and said, "It's really cold when the wind blows by the river now."

Bai held the needle in one hand and thread in the other, threading the needle facing the light, without raising her head when she heard the words: "No, it will be winter in a few days, and there is no telling when it will snow."

As soon as he finished speaking, the room suddenly fell silent.

The three of them looked at each other, and Bai couldn't help but ask: "If the river freezes, how can we deliver the goods?" Although their place is not a particularly cold place, the river water only freezes for one or two days in the past. months.

In previous years, it would be okay not to go to the city for a month or two, but if we delay these two months now, our family will lose tens of thousands of dollars in income.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Ming said, "I'm going to buy a mule tomorrow, and then I'll make a mule cart. This way, even if the river freezes, I can drive to the city by myself."

Taking a boat from Huangtian Village to the county seat takes less than half an hour.

But if it is driven by an ox cart or a mule cart, it will take an hour to arrive.

In addition, there are few oxcarts and mule carts in the village, so the villagers are accustomed to taking boats.

However, special circumstances will be treated accordingly. If you still want to make money in these two months, buying a mule cart is a must.

However, Jiang Jinyu looked at her father sympathetically and asked, "Dad, can you drive a mule cart?"

Jiang Mingshun: "..."

"Ahem," he looked away and loudly encouraged himself: "Can't you just learn it?"

Jiang Jinyu gave him a "come on" look.

Worried that it would snow one day, Jiang Mingshun rushed to the livestock market in the county town in the afternoon and spent twelve ounces of money to choose a young and strong green mule.

In the past, if you bought a mule, you would have to find a carpenter to make a cart.

But when he went to the wood shop to buy furniture yesterday, he saw that there were also cars for sale in the shop. Jiang Ming took his mule to the wood shop by the way.

Considering that he would use it frequently in the future, he simply chose a car that sold for eight yuan.

The shop also arranged for a clerk to help put the car on.

Jiang Mingshun watched from the side, touching the freshly baked mule cart with satisfaction, thinking, you really get what you pay for, his mule cart is really strong!
Mules could not board the ship, and Jiang Mingshun did not know how to drive a mule cart.

So it was already midnight when he got home that day.

Jiang Jinyu ran out excitedly, not daring to go next to the mule, which looked very strong, and just watched from a distance in the yard.

She pulled her father and asked, "Dad, when will you learn to drive?"

She hasn't been in a "private car" for a long time.

When her father learns to drive, they won't have to worry about whether they can catch the village boat when they go to the city. When the weather warms up, they can go out together as a family.

Jiang Mingshun thought for a while and said, "Master Shitou is an expert at driving. I will go to him in the afternoon to teach me."

Although taking a boat is convenient, there are always some people who are unwilling to take a boat for various reasons.

Mr. Shitou bought mules and used mule carts to carry people into the city. It has been more than ten years now.

Perhaps Jiang Mingshun really has some talent. He was able to drive a car to the town by himself after learning for a few days.

Before the first snow fell, Jiang Mingshun was able to drive to the county seat by himself.

Every time he came back during this period, he would go to Zheng Zhongren to ask about the shop.

Zheng Zhongren also showed him a few shops that were for sale. Unfortunately, the prices he liked were too high, and the ones he could afford always had some shortcomings.

Jiang Mingshun and Zheng Zhongren said: "Don't be in a hurry, just take your time and search for it. After all, you are not in a hurry to use it."

He also told him not to delay his own business because of the shop, and then drove back.
