Chapter 1117

On the next day of the family, the Yexia family prepares for their marriage.

Others are also normally busy with fast food restaurants and food factories.

After the dried noodles came out, the response was very good, and more and more shipments were made. Bai Ruoxi felt that her 5000 taels of assets would be reached soon.

On October 25th, Shanghe Village and Xiahe Village were very lively again.

The excitement was no less than the day when the village came to sing an opera.

Because on this day, the teacher that Bai Ruoxi helped hire officially started classes in the village.

Four teachers were invited, two for each village.

The reason why we arrange two is because we have to take turns to give lectures, and only one person is speaking all day, and the voice can't stand it.

I just teach the villagers some simple things, so the teacher's qualifications are not too high.

They are all children living nearby, so it is convenient for them to go home after teaching in the village.

The teaching location in Xiahe Village is located outside the ancestral hall.

Many people went to the big square with small benches as if they were listening to a play.

Everyone sat there and started chatting.

"I didn't expect that the teacher really invited me here."

"That's right! Are we going to have classes like the ones in the town?"

"I don't even dare to think about it. Tell me, can we talk about it when we go out in the future?"

"It's still a good word. You can pull it out. We can read when we go out. Just don't let people deceive you. If you don't know how to read, you can't understand written documents."

"makes sense!"

"..."

"..."

After waiting for a long time, the village chief came, followed by two men who looked to be in their 30s.

The village chief said, "Be quiet, everyone. Let me introduce you. These two are the teachers in charge of teaching our village. This is Mr. Li, and this is Mr. Liu."

The two gentlemen saluted the villagers.

There was applause very cooperatively below.

Then, the village head said, "Bai Yeyuan specially invited these two for the village. You must study hard. You don't have to be able to write, but at least you must recognize them. If you learn well, you will be rewarded."

"What reward?" someone asked.

"There is an exam every month, and the one who gets the best test will be given 240 catties of grain in the village for twelve months, every month. The grain comes from the wasteland we have reclaimed, and it will be distributed during the autumn harvest. That’s [-] catties of grain in February, so don’t let one of you go.”

As soon as the words came out, everyone became excited. Twenty catties of grain a month was enough for one person.

"On the contrary, those who fail the exam have to hand over their food."

"How much?"

"Five catties! As much food as the unqualified people paid, the food will be distributed to the qualified people, so those who don't want to pay the food should study hard."

This made some people not willing, "Village chief, you are a bit embarrassing, there must be some people who don't want to learn or don't like to learn."

The village chief frowned, "Can you be successful? If you want to be successful, learn from me! I didn't ask you to write, but you only know how to read. When you go out, don't be sold and count your money. It's all for you. Well, you still don't want to?"

"Have you forgotten that Wang Laohan's family did a year's work for others? Don't you remember the thing about Fatty Liu's selling an egg and can't count the money? The old Wei's family almost sold their daughter, and you need me to say more Are there many? Don’t any of your families not like to go out because of their illiteracy?”

The big guy who said this has lost his voice, and he has indeed suffered from not being able to read.

When you are away from home, you can’t even read the words on the sign of a shop, and you can’t find it anywhere. It all depends on your mouth.
