Chapter 44： running a school

Let Zhou Cheng send all the fish **** to the town to sell, and when he comes back, he can drop by and return the scooter. The Chinese New Year is approaching, so she has to prepare some food, and told Zhou Cheng to buy meat and come back to make dumplings. The dumplings he made last time were all eaten within a few days, and the lamb bones were gone. He asked him to buy some new year goods by the way. It's freezing cold, and it's not easy to go to the town every time. Try to buy as many things as possible, and don't run to the town before the spring.

When she was at home, she cleaned the house inside and out, tidying up the house, and also instructed a few children to help sweep the snow in the yard, so it was a good New Year's Eve.

Pei Xiu was very excited when she found that the sweet potato vines from the cuttings were alive, which meant that sweet potatoes would grow in a few months. It’s a pity that there aren’t enough wooden boxes, otherwise I can have a little more variety. The sweet potato vines will grow again and again when they are pulled out. I’m not afraid that there will be no green vegetables to eat, and I can feed the rabbits if they can’t finish eating. She found that the mother rabbit’s stomach was bulging a little. .

The children have been feeding it a lot recently, and they want it to give birth to a litter of bunnies as soon as possible.

Originally I planned to fry one for the Chinese New Year, but now I have to fry both the smaller ones, otherwise, how can I raise a litter of rabbits. Xiao Zhouheng burst into tears after hearing it. He was the most diligent in feeding and he liked it the most, but his mother actually wanted to kill them all for meat.

I cried and cried, but the food was unambiguous. Pei Xiu was ashamed. I cooked a big pot for the New Year. Several children robbed the pot of rabbit meat. After eating, they were willing to eat other dishes. Now the food is getting better and better. , a few also began to pick up.

This year's New Year's Eve dinner is the most hearty meal the family has ever eaten. There are fish, braised pork, rabbit meat, sheep and scorpions, dumplings, and a bowl of fish ball soup. The saliva fell from the children who watched it. They had never eaten such a hearty dish. Whoever has a bowl of meat is already the best meal. Their table is full of meat and vegetables.

When it was cooking, the fragrance wafted far away, and the New Year's Eve dinner next door was no longer fragrant. Because all the good dishes are cooked, it takes a while for others to eat them, and they are still in the pot. Next door is a bowl of meat dishes, fish from Tianwang a few days ago, as well as radish and pickles with wowotou, cocked their noses to eat their New Year's Eve dinner with the smell of their meat. After a new year, I was in a bad mood. Lao Wang didn't say anything. My mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not sure how they would scold Pei Xiu's prodigal family. Goudan envied Hammer and them. He could smell the fragrance every day, and it didn't taste good. Know what the fairy smell is. The family had a complicated New Year's Eve dinner.

The Pei Xiu's house next door, happily, had a happy and extravagant year. She also packed a large bowl of rabbit meat and asked Zhou Yong to send it to his grandmother. She didn't usually send it. She sent it too often. The old lady wanted to talk about her prodigal family. , it would be good to send more for the New Year and the festival, the old man also thinks hello in his heart.

After the New Year, the village chief informed all the families that Master Zhou was willing to set up a school in this village,

The front yard of the ancestral hall in this village is tidy up a little, and it is enough to put tables and chairs. If each family wants to send their children to school, they should prepare the repairs in advance, and the school will start after the spring.

This news has exploded in the village. Zhou Confucius has been back in the village for a few months, and he has been thinking about it. Now he is really ready to run a school. The children in these eight villages are blessed. They don't have to go all the way to the town, and Zhou The master is real. Originally, I had no idea of ​​sending my children to school, but now I am hesitating whether to send them to recognize a few words.

Pei Xiu has always been determined to send her children to school, just thinking about sending a few. Now that there is a school in the village, it is more convenient. After discussing it with Zhou Cheng, all four were sent, and we couldn't favor one over the other.

Zhou Yong has to learn even if he doesn't like to study. He is so old, so he has to recognize all the characters. Zhou Sheng and Zhou Shan are hardworking children. Xiao Zhou Heng doesn't think he is small, but he is smart and can recognize characters quickly. , I remember being imprisoned again. She felt that she couldn't bury it. It would be good for him to enlighten him earlier, and several older brothers had already gone to school, so he was left alone at home, and he was not accompanied.

In order to allow more children to start school, the bundle of repairs received by Master Zhou is not expensive, but the ink paper and inkstone to go to school are more expensive. It should be no problem in the past two years. In the future, I will think of ways to earn more. money.

Moreover, after the children can read, they can copy the books they need by themselves. Master Zhou's collection of books is open to the children, which saves money on buying books.

In order to allow more children in the village to go to school, the village chief also took great pains, and every household went to the door to inform and persuade them. As for how many people are willing to send their children to school, this is unknown, and it is not everyone who is well-off and is willing to pay for this bundle. And some people have no family separation, a bunch of children, who to send is another question.

As for today's incident, there were noises from people all over the village.

There were beatings and scolding from the next door, as well as the cries of children. It was noisy. Several children were curious and crowded into the corner to listen.

Pei Xiu also heard it, Goudan shouted: ''I want to go to school. ''

From the house to the yard, his mother yelled: ''Go to school~ You go to school, who will help with the housework, who will cut the pig grass, who will pick up the firewood, how can there be money to send it? you go to school. ''

Goudan cried and said: '' Big head and two heads and the hammer next door said they were going to school. No one was playing with me, so I was going too. ''

This time, Goudan's milk is no longer protecting him. He doesn't want money for school, so ask her to pay for it? There are no doors. Whoever gave birth will pay.

Her money is going to be used for the old age. The two daughters-in-law are not filial. If they don't have any money, who will support them if they are not dead? I have never seen a bowl of dishes come over to be filial to my parents. This unfilial son who killed thousands of knives, once he has a daughter-in-law, he forgets his mother. The more old Mrs. Wang thought about it, the more angry she became.

Although the grandson is her good grandson, he was not born by her. The son is unreliable, let alone the grandson, don't think she will pay. She turned around and went into the room, not caring about this mother's tossing, but also stopped the old man from interfering.

Xiao Zhouheng ran over and hugged Pei Xiu's feet, raised his head and said, ''Mother, why didn't the next door **** not send him to school and beat him. ''

Pei Xiu hugged Xiao Zhou Heng. He passed his fourth birthday not long after she passed by, and she didn't even think of it at that time. This little guy has been eating and eating for the past few months, and the padded jacket is thick and heavy, and she can't hold him anymore. Said: ''Mother also doesn't know, every family has a scripture that is difficult to recite, maybe they have no money and no ability to support. ''

''Mother, then you still send me and my brothers to school, do you have any money? '' Xiao Zhouheng asked ignorantly and innocently.

''My mother can still give it now. In the past few years, my father and I have worked hard to earn money. You and your brothers should also study hard, don't let us down, you know. Otherwise, the mother will beat people with whips. ''

Several children nodded earnestly.
