Chapter 113 Enrollment
Then one show after another was performed. Because it was a small place and there were not many jugglers, many of them were adapted by Tian Xinger using her memories of her past life. Most of them were based on famous poems, but some professional singing girls and storytellers were still invited.
"This performance is really good. There are some things I haven't seen before. Although the performances of several children in my family are average, it is still quite interesting. Seeing it makes me want to try it."
"Yeah, I didn't expect that we would have the opportunity to see these strange things outside in this shabby place."
"It's all thanks to Miss Fang and the others."
"Yeah, who says it isn't?"
After the performance, the people all seemed to be still unsatisfied and started discussing tonight's performance, and even the county magistrate was no exception.
"Mr. Li, our kids performed really well tonight. I didn't even know when they participated in this event."
"Yeah, I just found out about it today. Their mother didn't tell me anything about it these past few days. And they even went to perform on their own. Look how happy they are now."
"Hahahaha, our county is really lively this year. I hope it will be like this every year."
"Of course they can. Look at the changes that Miss Fang and her team have brought to our county. People now have higher incomes. Although only a few people benefit now, more people will benefit in the future. I just hope that their business can do better."
"Correct."
At the end, people from all over the county helped to clean up, which made Tian Xinger very happy. She felt that people from all over the county were working together, and the adults were not arrogant. In the past few months, the people of Shang County have worked hard together for their county, and it feels really good.
"Sister Fang, it's great to have someone to walk with and so many supporters."
"Yes, this is the first time I feel so grateful and supported by so many people. Our efforts over the past few months have not been in vain."
"right."
In the first month of the lunar year, Tian Xing'er went to find Liu Erlang as promised, "Happy New Year, sir. We would like to invite you to be a teacher in our school. I wonder if Mr. Liu is willing."
"Miss Tian, Master Tian, Happy New Year. I have heard from my husband that I am willing to do it. I would also like to thank you for your kindness, Miss Tian, for not minding someone like me."
"Mr. Liu, please don't belittle yourself. You are a learned man. How can you belittle yourself because of your health problems? Our school is very lucky to have Mr. Liu."
"How dare I accept this, but I still have to accept your kindness."
"The school will start recruiting students after the Lantern Festival. We will need Mr. Liu to help. My brother Yuze will be responsible for the learning of the younger children who have no basic knowledge, and Mr. Liu, you will be responsible for those who have some basic knowledge. I also hope you can help my brother. If he does not do well, please give him more advice, Mr. Liu."
"Of course, at Yuze's age, he will be able to take the examination for a scholar in a few years, right?"
"Yes, he has actually finished reading almost all the books that the scholar will take the exam, but we plan to go there a year or two later. We hope that Mr. Liu can give us some pointers if he is free."
"Please give me more guidance, Mr. Liu." When Tian Yuze was called, he immediately bowed.
"That's no problem. By the way, I heard that our school is very different. One part is for the imperial examinations, and the other part is for other miscellaneous subjects, right?"
"Yes, but don't worry, sir. I have divided these two categories into front and back yards. If you want to learn other subjects, you can do that. The main thing is to let everyone have a skill. However, at present, we have only hired craftsmen with a few simple skills. When we have a road here in the future and more people can come, it will be easier to hire. After all, as long as the money is enough, we can always hire whoever we want."
"Yes, yes, Miss Tian is right."
Not long after they finished chatting at Liu's house, someone came to ask Tian Xing'er and the others to go back.
"Sister Fang, what's the matter? Could anything big happen in the first month of the year? Why did you call us back in such a hurry?" Tian Xing'er asked as soon as she entered the door.
"Hey, sister Xing'er, I'm so sorry. My father sent me a message and asked me to go back and explain the matter about the election of the head of the family. I'm afraid it's bad news, but I don't know what it is. I'm leaving soon. I'm counting on you to help me take care of things here. As for the money, just go to Manager Xu. He is my man and knows where to get the money. I don't know how long it will take me to go back this time, so I'd better prepare for the worst. I'm afraid they have begun to know my situation and take action."
"Sister Fang, I asked Uncle Jiang Jin to bring a few people back with you, just in case. My father and his men sent me a batch of new fireworks from the north. You know how powerful they are. This time they are easier to use. Uncle Jiang Jin knows how to use them."
"I have people sent by my father, so nothing will happen. Brother Jiang and the others will have to stay and help."
"We have such a good relationship with the county magistrate now. Uncle Jiang Jin has a very small role now. He has been very lazy recently. It would be good for him to move around more."
"Then sister Duo Xing'er, although we have known each other for a short time this year, I sincerely treat you as my own sister. It is also because of you that I have been very happy and contented this year."
"Sister Fang, it's New Year's Day, why are you saying such cheesy things? Go back quickly, and come back soon. You know I don't like working. I'm only suitable to be an idler and a hands-off boss."
"Okay, I'll be back soon, and I'll leave the rest to you."
"Of course, don't worry. Yuze will go talk to Uncle Jiang Jin and ask him to get ready. Then we will go with Sister Fang."
"Okay, I was just about to leave." As soon as Tian Yuze finished speaking, he pulled Jiu Ye and ran away. He couldn't stand the scene of a young lady crying.
Soon Jiang Jin took a few people and left with Fang Shiya and the others.
After the first month of the lunar year, the school began recruiting students and many children from the town came. I didn’t expect that such a small county would have so many students wanting to go to school.
"There are too many people coming today, and we may not be able to accept so many students." Liu Xiucai said a little worriedly.
"Then try to choose younger students who sign up early. If you sign up late, there will be no choice. Our technical college also accepts older students. If there are particularly outstanding older students, we can make an exception and accept them."
"Okay, that's fair."
"Erlang, you come to sign up as well. I thought your father was a teacher, so you didn't need to sign up." The speaker was Sangou, who used to learn calligraphy from Erlang.
"Yes, there are limited places here, and everyone registers fairly."
"Luckily I came early today, otherwise I might not be able to register."
“Yes, but the people in front of us lined up yesterday, and some came from town.”
"We can't help it. We are poor and there are not many decent schools. We also need to pay tuition. Since we don't need to pay tuition here, everyone will definitely want to come here to study. We can't even afford the tuition in other places."
"Yes, thanks to Miss Fang and Sister Tian."
"Yes, they are the great benefactors of our county. With their arrival, our aunts and uncles in our hometown have started to grow winter melons. With the extra income, we can have an extra meal now. Speaking of meals, I remember what we had on New Year's Eve. It was so delicious. I wonder if I will be able to eat it again in the future?"
"San Gou, what you said is true. Of course I can eat. I heard that Miss Tian and her team are recruiting people to set up a snack stand. They were originally planning to do it during the Chinese New Year, but they were too busy to take care of it." Xu Er, who was in the team and came to sign up with his son, interrupted and said, "I also signed up, but they didn't hire me."
"Really, Uncle Xu? Wouldn't that be very expensive? We can't afford it."
"It's not sold to you. Of course it's sold to outsiders. Our county's river will be open soon, and the wharf there will be opened. It should be sold there then. But if you study hard and make money in the future, you will definitely be able to afford it."
"Then I must study hard so that I can eat those delicious foods in the future."
"Hahaha, Sangou, this is all you can achieve." The other kids in the team laughed when they heard it.
More than half of the people who registered today have been accepted, but there are still many who have not been able to register. Some people don’t want to leave, so I want to try to see if they can be included.
"Can't you take our child in? We live a little far away, so we came late. Can you take my son in?"
