Nongmen's fierce wife busy farming

Chapter 484 Is it okay to also allow sisters to study?

Bai Ningxiang obediently supported the old lady to sit on the wicker chair, turned to look at the patriarch,
"Grandpa, I just went to the ethnology school for a while."

"Hehe, Grandpa just passed by and took a look, and he could hear the sound of reading aloud from a long distance away. These buddies are the hope of the Bai clan. It's really thanks to the generosity of Sister Xiang."

If the ethnology can be successful, Xiang girl has made a big difference.

The patriarch sat aside with a smile, stroking his beard, and couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.

With ethnology, the Bai clan will only get better and better in the future.

"Grandpa, there are still several rooms vacant in the ethnology school. Has Grandpa thought of other uses?" Bai Ningxiang looked at Grandpa Gan and asked curiously.

"All the buddies of the right age in the clan have gone, there are only so many. As for the other two clans, they have been fighting with me for the past two days, and they have been pestering me to make Shuxiu cheaper."

When the patriarch mentioned this, he couldn't help being irritable. He also only received five hundred Wen, five catties of rice, five catties of miscellaneous grains, and a piece of cotton cloth for the sake of the same village.

Those private schools outside need two taels of silver alone, let alone dim sum pork.

Besides, the food he received was Zheng Xiucai's ration, not much at all.

"Grandpa just don't need to be angry, the Shuxiu you ordered is really not expensive, but anyone who wants his elder brother to read and write will not be stingy with this little thing, but some people are used to being greedy for cheap, look at our children of the Bai family. It’s free, they’re just out of balance.”

People's hearts are so strange. The land occupied by the college and the cost of establishing the ethnology were all raised by the Bai family. The other surnames didn't pay a penny. Now that school starts, I feel unbalanced. what.

"Grandpa, don't pay attention to these people. If they think it's too expensive, let them go to private school by themselves. Anyway, our family study is only for the children of the Bai clan. They are just piggybacking. If they don't want to, forget it."

"Well, grandpa thinks the same way. Let those old guys hang out first, and still want to eat for free. It's a good idea." The patriarch snorted, lit his cigarette and took a deep puff.

"By the way, grandpa, when the ancestral hall was opened, the sisters were not forbidden to study. Why did all the brothers go? There are so many vacant rooms in the school, it's better to let the sisters at home go to study, anyway, there is no harm."

As soon as Bai Ningxiang's proposal came out, not only the patriarch was stunned, but even Mrs. Li and the old lady looked over.

"What's wrong? Can't you?" Bai Ningxiang looked at the three pairs of eyes and blinked.

"Ahem... It's not impossible, but no one wants to send their sister to study."

The patriarch exhaled a puff of smoke, shook his head,

"Although grandpa doesn't agree that a woman's lack of talent is virtue, not everyone thinks the same way as grandpa. They think that my sister's study is useless and will delay her work. No one wants to give it to her."

"That's the reason. If you have time to study, it's better to embroider a handkerchief and exchange it for a few copper coins to supplement the family. Besides, the sister will marry sooner or later, and the married woman will waste the water she poured out and study."

Bai Ningxiang fell silent. What her grandparents said was indeed reasonable. Although the folk customs of this period were fairly enlightened, it was a long-standing custom that women always took the lead over men.

"Reading makes people understand. Since it is ethnology, we must treat our own clan members with preferential treatment. Grandpa can tell everyone, and sisters can also go to school. As for whether they want to, it depends on themselves."
