The Little Dumb Wife of the Mountain People

Chapter 137
When the academy was being prepared, Songjia Village knew that it was a place for girls to stay. When it really started to be built, those who came to work discovered that Mr. Liu is really a good person.

"I heard from your Uncle Wei that there are solid blue bricks and carts of glutinous rice. If this house is built well, it will definitely not be a problem to live in for 80 or [-] years."

What Aunt Wei said was a little conservative. The materials used in this house are solid. As long as it is well maintained in the future, let alone 80 years, it will be fine.

However, when Wen Bao thought that Aunt Wei came home suddenly today, she definitely wouldn't be just praising the college for no reason.

"Aunt Wei, you came to see me today, is it possible that you are praising me how good this academy is?"

After all, they had gotten along with each other before, and the two families had been in contact with each other for a long time. Wen Bao also knew Aunt Wei's temperament, so he opened his mouth directly.

Aunt Wei was also taken aback by Wen Bao's question, but then she laughed.

"Oh, what do you say about my heretics with you? It really makes me feel uncomfortable." After talking to herself, Aunt Wei looked at Wen Bao and said, "Actually, this is what happened. Is it ready? Your Uncle Wei and I wanted to ask if girls like Yanzi are accepted in the academy.

You also know that your Uncle Wei and I have only two children. Yanzi is very envious of her brother studying. Usually her brother goes home to teach her. Now that there is a women's college, she pesters us to want to go.

We know that the girls here are all poor people. Of course, Yanzi came to study for Shuxiu. She doesn't need to live in the college, she just goes to class during the day, and it won't make it difficult for you. "

After Aunt Wei finished speaking, she looked at Wen Bao expectantly, but because of her words, Wen Bao completely opened his mind.

It was the initial idea of ​​this academy not to make money at the beginning, but in the later operation, it needed money in many aspects.

Master Liu invested a lot of money for this academy, and it would be a good thing if he could earn back the money earlier.

"Aunt Wei, I can't promise you this matter outright. After all, I don't own this academy alone. I'll write to Uncle Liu to explain this matter. I estimate that this matter can be accomplished."

Wen Bao had already thought of many reasons to convince Master Liu, that's why she dared to tell Aunt Wei like this.

The more she thought about it, the more Wen Bao felt that she might be about to accomplish a great event, and she was excited, with countless thoughts circling in her mind, just waiting for her to calm down and figure it out.

Aunt Wei left Wen Bao's house happily, and many women in Songjia Village saw her coming to find Wen Bao.

If outsiders don't know why Songjia Village is developing so well now, the villagers of Songjia Village know it very well.

Thinking back when Wen Bao first got married, they didn't take her seriously, but what happened later made them understand a lot of things one by one.

Especially since the pharmaceutical workshops in the village opened later, the women in Songjia Village now have an unusual status at home.

They earned money by themselves, and their status in the family gradually changed, and they naturally understood the reason for this.

He has a good relationship with Aunt Wei, and he knew what she was going to do at Wen Bao's house before Aunt Wei left, and now seeing Aunt Wei leaving with a smile on her face, he naturally guessed that it might be a success.

Nowadays, every family in Songjia Village is not short of money to send their children to learn their skills. They have worked hard all their lives, isn't it for their children?
It used to be a college that didn't accept girls. Although there was a school in Songjia Village and they all followed it for a while, it's not as safe as the college built by the county.

Not to mention, they also heard that there are a lot of things taught there, especially Wen Bao is the dean of this college. They all know Wen Bao's skills, and the daughter of the family can learn from her, and it will definitely not be bad.

More and more people began to think about this matter. Their family conditions were good, and they even thought about sending a letter to their natal brothers.

If the academy does not accept many Shuxiu, let them also send their nieces at home. The adults have worked hard for two or three years, so that the children can learn some skills.

The sons have learned a few words, and they have obviously changed. The daughters in the family should not be left behind too much.

They don't expect their children to be high-ranking officials, but after learning the skills, no matter if they are sons or daughters, they are easy to talk about.

Wen Bao naturally didn't know that the villagers of Songjia Village were now thinking about this matter, especially the women of Songjia Village were starting to think about how much money they needed, and how much money they could borrow if the brothers didn't have any.

Wen Bao took out a pen and paper and began to write a letter to Mr. Liu. The college was almost finished. Should he take a look at the admission of students to the college.

They listed one by one, and mentioned the things that the girls in Songjia Village were willing to teach Shu Xiu.

Wen Bao finished writing the letter, and the Wen family knew about it.

"This is a good thing. Women are bound by etiquette. After so many years, they finally have someone who understands."

Wu was the most emotional about this matter. Wu's family was a merchant, and her father wanted to teach her how to do business, but her mother said that women don't need to learn these things, and only let her read "Girls' Training" or something.

Later, her father secretly taught her to read the account books and make plans. After her mother found out, her father and mother even had a quarrel. Who would have thought that in just a few decades, she would see a college specially built for women.

"Mom, I know you know how to abacus. Why don't you teach them how to abacus before the academy starts classes?"

Wen Bao knew this because Wen Zhuoqing from her second brother's family was a quick learner of abacus in elementary school, and it was her mother who taught her.

Although Wu Shi was moved when she heard Wen Bao's words, she still shook her head when she thought of her current age.

"Mother, I'm not going to join in the fun. I'm going to plan that your second sister-in-law and your fourth sister-in-law are good at it. Although you are not as proficient as them, it is still no problem to teach these girls."

Although Mrs. Wu rejected Wen Bao, Wen Bao was not discouraged. She had already started thinking about how to recruit more female students for this academy.

Few of the women from rich families are willing to go out to teach, but the number of people in their families who can teach them to read and write may not be enough. If it is not possible, Wen Bao also wants to find her sister-in-law.

In addition to being able to read and write, everyone also needs to learn arithmetic. This can be seen from her teaching group, Arabic numerals are very suitable.

There are also cooking skills, embroidery, accounting, medical skills, and even dressing up. Wen Bao also wants to teach these girls.

Women are the ones who please themselves. Although the inside of girls is very important, the outside also needs to be taken care of.

The letter Wen Bao wrote to Mr. Liu was brought by Wen Chengshuang to the county seat. Mr. Liu originally thought it was a letter to report the progress as before, but when he opened the letter after finishing the work of the county government, he read it more and more deeply. .

"Hahaha, this Wen Jiabao has really solved an embarrassing matter for me."

It turned out that since the harvest in Nanning County had shrunk last year, Master Liu kept reporting the situation here, but although Nanning County was difficult, it was not the most difficult place.

Seeing that Nanning County can solve the problem by itself, the higher authorities no longer allocate funds to this place.

After what happened last winter, he arbitrarily decided to take out taxes and food to help the victims. Although the higher authorities would not pursue the latter matter, his credit was gone.

This year he strongly supported land reclamation and invested a lot. Not only was the county government emptied by him, but he also invested a lot of his own money in it.

Now there are only a few months before the autumn harvest. Although this year's tax and food can be handed over, there is no way to fill the gap before.

Especially this women's college.

Last year, the victims were relieved, and this year the victims opened up a lot of wasteland. Although the wasteland cannot grow good food, there are dried tofu recipes given by Wen Bao, and the benefits brought by sour and spicy cabbage. This year's tax is don't worry.

In the past two days, some political opponents wanted to overthrow him, but he had listened to Wen Bao's suggestion and sent last year's fertilizer formula privately.

Now he has no credit or guilt on him, but the higher-ups know that he runs this women's college and are very interested.

But the attitude of this matter is the same as before, neither objecting nor giving too much support, but as long as Nanning County does not rely on subsidies from above, but relies on itself to run this women's college, it must be a great credit .

The more Mr. Liu thought about it, the more excited he became, and he wished he could rush to Songjia Village to have a detailed talk with Wen Bao.

But he also knew it was unrealistic.

"Master, what happened to you, so happy."

Mrs. Liu entered the study with a bowl of ginseng soup, and saw Master Liu smiling all at once.

Mr. Liu did not hide anything, and directly delivered Wen Bao's letter to Mrs. Liu.

After Mrs. Liu finished reading Wen Bao's letter, the couple discussed it and didn't talk about it. When Wen Bao wrote a letter to Mrs. Liu, he also wrote a letter to his sister-in-law Wen Lishi.

Her sister-in-law also started studying since she was a child, but for so many years after marrying into the Wen family, the sister-in-law has always followed her elder brother in the town's academy, taking care of her eldest brother and a group of Wen family's boys.

Now that she is short of people here, she naturally thought of this sister-in-law who had read poetry and books.

When Wen Lishi received Wen Bao's letter, she was a little surprised. This was the first time she had received a letter from her sister-in-law for so many years in the Wen family.

After she read the contents of the letter, she found Wen Chengzhi with the letter without any hesitation.

"lady?"

Wen Chengzhi was watching his eldest son's homework at this time, wondering if he should be admitted as a child next year, but at this moment, he saw his wife walking up to him with a serious face and throwing a piece of paper to him.

Mrs. Wen and Li didn't speak, but just passed Wen Bao's letter to Wen Chengzhi. She has taken care of Wen Chengzhi's life for so many years, as long as he manages the academy well, he will be happy.

But now, after he finished reading the letter, he suddenly stood up.

"My sister said that the third younger sibling is the regular teacher of the college, and the second and fourth younger siblings will also go to teach regularly every month. I thought it would be difficult for my younger sister at the beginning. When the college confirms the start date, I will pack my luggage and move back to Songjia Village. .”

Wen Li did not discuss with Wen Chengzhi at all, but directly informed him of his decision.

Before Wen Chengzhi was overwhelmed by his wife's decisiveness, Wen Zhuoxiu, who was eavesdropping outside the door, quickly ran to the courtyard where his brothers lived with the news.

Mother is going back to live in Song Family Village, don't want them!
