Dad, Did You Study Today?

The clan leader's thoughts were exposed by Zhou Qing, and he immediately looked embarrassed.

Zhou Qing saw that the clan leader looked a little embarrassed, and realized that there was something wrong with his words, so he hurriedly added.

"The teacher in the clan school before was my uncle. He left suddenly, and you, the third master, didn't even have any preparation. I have been feeling guilty and uneasy.

These days, the clan school has been busy with you, the third master, and I feel even more uneasy."

Zhou Qing said this, and the clan leader's face eased a little.

"We have severed our relationship, so what uncle is he to you!"

The clan leader had a lot of opinions about Zhou Huaihai in his heart.

He had already decided in his heart that he would not teach in the clan school on the day of the severance of the relationship.

But he waited until the day of moving out to suddenly notify him.

Is this what a human being does!

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Anyway, my father and I are both worried. Yesterday, my father said that he wanted to hire a teacher for the clan.

I made some money from selling calligraphy a while ago. I want to hire a scholar to take charge of our clan school so that the children can have someone to rely on in the future."

Originally, Zhou Huaishan did not agree, and Aunt Zhang was still indignant.

When she heard Zhou Qing say to invite a scholar to the clan school, her eyes lit up immediately.

Although Zhou Huaishan won the first place in the case, he was not even a regular student.

If they really hired a scholar, he would be much more capable than Zhou Huaishan.

Aunt Zhang immediately smiled and said, "Then let's hire a scholar."

The clan leader glared at Aunt Zhang, "Do you think it's so easy to hire a scholar? It costs at least two taels of silver a month!"

Aunt Zhang.

"What? Two taels? I'm robbing you!"

The clan leader ignored Aunt Zhang and looked at Zhou Qing, "I've been arranging to hire a teacher these days."

Zhou Qing said, "In fact, my father is not without selfish motives. He wants to contribute to the village and also wants to have a good reputation."

Zhou Qing's words were straightforward.

The clan leader naturally understood.

He stroked his beard and looked at Zhou Huaishan, "Do you really think so?"

Zhou Huaishan.

A ton of question marks banged up in his heart.

What do you think?

What are you talking about?

I don't understand at all!

I never planned to hire a teacher for the clan school, and I won't feel uneasy because Zhou Huaihai left.

It's none of my business!

However.

My daughter said so, so as a father, I naturally can't destroy her place.

With a sincere look on his face, Zhou Huaishan nodded heavily, saying, "Yes!"

"Okay, since you have this intention, it would be false for me to say more. Today, I, Third Uncle, will accept your favor, and the people of the entire Qingyang Village will accept your favor."

Aunt Zhang was confused.

Although she didn't know why she had to accept the favor, she knew that the matter of inviting the scholar was settled.

"That, Qing girl, Zhou Erge, don't blame me just now. I was also very anxious about my child's education and threw a tantrum.

It's all my fault. So, I will go back and cook the goose now, and send it to you to eat in the evening."

After saying that, Aunt Zhang took the goose and left.

The clan leader called him, "Let your man come over, and notify other scholars in the village to come over."

Aunt Zhang responded happily.

As soon as Aunt Zhang left, Zhou Qing explained his idea in detail. While he was talking, more than ten men gathered at the clan leader's house.

The clan leader talked about inviting the scholar to sit in the clan school.

".Huaishan paid for the teacher's invitation, but the name of our clan school will be changed to Huaishan Academy from now on. Do you have any objections?"

Parents.

Looking at each other, they whispered to each other for a while, and a man spoke first.

"We don't care what the name of the academy is, but does the scholar ask for more than the student?"

It is not easy for rural families to send their children to school.

The clan leader glanced at Zhou Huaishan and stroked his beard.

"The money Huaishan paid for the scholar included the tuition. In the future, the children of our Qingyang Village will not pay tuition when they study. If you are thoughtful, you can give the teacher some fruits and food."

When the clan leader said this, several men opened their eyes in shock.

"What? No tuition?"

"Is there anyone who doesn't want to pay tuition when studying?"

The clan leader smiled and said, "It's not that I don't want tuition, but Huaishan has paid the tuition you should pay."

A man turned his head and looked at Zhou Huaishan.

"No, Shanzi, what do you think? You paid for us? Are you stupid?"

Zhou Huaishan.

I think I'm stupid too!

Why should I pay for other people's children to study!

However.

Zhou Huaishan smiled innocently, "I can study and take exams smoothly, which is inseparable from everyone's help. Now my family is better off, and I want to give back to the village."

Speaking of this, Zhou Huaishan sighed earnestly.

"After this matter of picking up books again, I really feel a lot in my heart. If this child wants to have a promising future, he must study! But we farmers are poor."

Speaking of this, Zhou Huaishan wiped his tears that did not exist at all.

"In short, my life is better now, I just want those children who want to study to have books to study, and not be delayed by family conditions. This is my wish."

After speaking, Zhou Huaishan buried his head and sighed.

A look of being moved by the scene.

"I have money, so I will invite this gentleman. When I am no longer rich, you can decide!"

Everyone listened, looking stunned.

At first, the Zhou family gave up Zhou Huaishan for Zhou Huaihai.

Later, when Zhou Huaishan wanted to study on his own, the Zhou family's first and second wives made some despicable troubles.

Everyone saw it.

Zhou Huaishan was hurt.

What happened to him, he didn't want to happen to other dolls.

Really

What a bodhisattva!

In comparison, Zhou Huaihai is really nothing!

"Shanzi, we accept your offer, but how can we let you pay alone!"

"That's right, if you pay for our children's education, what's the point?"

Zhou Huaishan.

That's right.

He complained in his heart, but said in his mouth: "The academy has been changed to Huaishan Academy. Of course I will pay for it. Let's just settle this matter. If you really thank me, just give me two kilograms of pork every new year and festival." ”

After a lot of pushing and pushing by everyone, the matter was finally settled.

When they returned to Shen Li's courtyard, Zhou Huaishan, who had been silent all the way, exploded.

Pull Zhou Qing into the house.

"Daughter, are you stupid? How could you do such a heartless thing?"

Zhou Qing rolled his eyes.

"My name is, burn the cauldron and sink the boat."

"You're ruining your father's money!" Zhou Huaishan said angrily.

Just because he can cheer up his daughter outside doesn't mean he won't get angry when he gets home.

Zhou Qing comforted him and said, "Dad, you will definitely not pursue an official career from farming, right?"

At the mention of farming, Zhou Huaishan's arrogance dropped slightly and he nodded. "Um."

"What do you rely on to have an official career?"

"Rely on connections." Although he is a dandy, Zhou Huaishan still understands this.

Zhou Qing said: "But we are from a poor background, and you have no classmates, where do you get the connections?"

Zhou Huaishan stared at Zhou Qing and had an epiphany in an instant.

He raised his hand and patted Zhou Qing's shoulder. "Daughter, why are you so smart!"

There are no connections, this is to cultivate connections in Qingyang Village.

Networking starts from childhood.

From now on, those who serve as officials or ministers will all be sacrificed by Zhou Huaishan!

Tsk tsk

"But what if no one in our village can pass the exam?"

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "When our academy opens, it will attract children from villages all over the place. As long as you can pass the examination, no one will dare to ruin your academy."

"What if I fail the exam?" Zhou Huaishan was immediately frightened.

Zhou Qing patted Zhou Huaishan on the shoulder, "Nothing unexpected! Learn from me! You can still have a day off tomorrow!"

Zhou Huaishan.

I shouldn’t have agreed today!

This is such a huge pit!
