Chapter 192： Do good deeds everywhere

Chapter 192 Doing good deeds everywhere

Of the four rooms on the south side, Liu Hai took one of them. Seeing that there were a lot of people there, and sometimes the space was not enough, he rented the one next to him to him.

Originally there were two shops, and they were supposed to pay ten taels of silver a month, but she asked the shopkeeper Niu to only charge them seven taels.

The Liu family was very happy and grateful to Qiao Mai. They wanted to invite her to have a meal at home, but unfortunately Qiao Mai refused.

She asked people to clean up the other two rooms and entrusted the dentist to decorate. At this moment, Ruyi brought her husband-in-law to find her.

"Master, my apprentice has come to see you."

"Why are you here at this time?" She glanced at her belly.

Ruyi blushed, "I heard you want to run a school?"

"Yes, many children from poor families in our town can't afford to go to school. I want to hire a teacher to teach these children. If there are smart and studious children, I will train them well."

"Hee hee, it happens that my husband is idle, why don't you invite him to teach?"

Qiao Mai glanced at the two of them and knew the character of the Qin family, so he said:

"Okay, I will give you ten taels of silver for Shuxiu a month, but you have to teach them carefully, and you can't just deal with it just because they are enrolled for free?"

"Master, please don't worry, I will teach them well." Qin Yide expressed his attitude immediately.

"Are you not going to take the entrance exam?"

Qin Yide replied: "Tao, I just want to find something to do, I don't want to stay at home all the time, and what's more, I want to move out with my wife."

"Is there a dispute at home?"

"It's all housework. There is no spoon that doesn't touch the edge of the pot. With this job, I have an excuse to come out with Ruyi."

"Well, your family members are all reasonable people, discuss it carefully, if it doesn't work, come and call me."

"Yes, Master!"

This matter was decided so happily. Ten days later, the decoration of the two shops was completed.

The appearance is similar to Qiaoji snack shop. There are tables and chairs for children to rest in the front. You can write here if you have nothing to do.

In short, Qiao Mai didn't want to waste the large space in front of him, so a big sign was placed on the top of the two shops.

"Auspicious School"

Ruyi brought her dowry and her maid and woman into the school.

She knew that the master purposely gave her face, a scholar was a teacher, and some schools gave at most two taels of silver a month, but the master gave her ten taels.

The two back yards were opened up for her, and there is a full set of new furniture inside.

Yiying’s daily necessities are also very complete. Anyway, Ruyi wanted to help Master after hearing about this incident, saving Qiao Mai the trouble of finding other people, and her husband-in-law just happened to be looking for something to do, so it hit it off.

The matter of enrolling students and starting school is naturally handed over to Qin Yide.

After he and Ruyi made everything safe, they posted a notice at the door, recruiting students for free, six to ten years old.

As long as the family is poor and cannot afford to go to school, anyone can sign up, Qiao Mai told Liu Qiaoshi.

"Gu, let Bao'er go to the exam. Mr. Qin is a scholar, and his grades are also good. Next year, he will go to Beijing with Jiaqi to catch the exam."

"Why don't you charge tuition?"

"How many people can afford it? I set up this school to let those children who can't afford to go to school come to class together."

Liu Qiaoshi said with emotion, "Your heart is so kind."

"My husband loves to study since he was a child. He is promising. There are still many children from poor families like him. I want to give them a chance to turn around. Just prepare Bao'er's usual pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

Liu Qiao took Liu Bao to sign up that day. He was the first child from the school to sign up.

Qiao Mai bought 20 sets of enlightenment books from the library at once, but these books belong to the school, and the teacher will only distribute them to the students during class, and they have to take them back after school.

As for the pen and ink, Qiao Mai thought about it and bought twenty stone drawing boards and twenty writing brushes from the platform. When they needed to write, let them dip the pens in water and write on the drawing boards, and then use a dry cloth One wipe, unlimited use.

Qin Yide thinks this thing is very good. If all the children use this, it will save a lot of money.

Even Liu Qiaoshi stopped buying paper and ink for the child, so let him use this too.

The matter of the Qiao family running a school once again caused a sensation in the small Tianshui Town. Everyone rushed to tell the story, and the mayor Qian came over to take a look in person.

Miss Qiao has done another great deed. She really does good deeds everywhere.

Although the school is free, there are still not many people who sign up for the school. The reason is that most of the children at this age can help out with household chores. Who will do the chores at home after a whole day of class?

Some were reluctant and refused to let their children come. Qiao Mai couldn’t laugh or cry when she heard this.

I really don't know if they are stupid or I am stupid.

However, there are also smart people who know that there is beauty in the book and the golden house in the book. They hope that their children can read and read, and they are willing to send their children to school even if they suffer a little bit.

Back and then, there were fifteen families who came to sign up, all of whom were children of seven or eight years old.

The start of school is set on the first day of October, with one day off in the first ten days. This was discussed by Qin Yide and Qiao Mai.

These children are used to being wild, and they rest once a month, fearing that they will get tired of studying.

The children don’t have to go home at noon, Qiao Mai takes care of their meal, good or bad, so that they are full.

These children included Chen's child, Chen Hao who used to play well with Feng'er and the others.

He was not happy in Mr. Lin's school and was scolded every day, so he never went again in a fit of anger.

Mr. Lin did not refund his Shuxiu, and paid several months of money in vain.

Chen was so angry that he attributed all these to Qiao Mai's offending Mr. Lin.

She has been looking for an opportunity to come here to take advantage of it, but facing such an imposing Qiao Mai, she dare not even step forward.

Now she had the opportunity to push eleven-year-old Chen Hao to school.

Qin Yide didn't say anything. I heard that she is a widow, and it is not easy to bring up a child. If she is over one year old, she should be over, so she agreed.

Chen Hao learned that this is a school run by Qiao's family, and he immediately thought about it, and secretly went to Jixiangyuan to find Feng'er and the others.

It's a pity that they were all in class, so the mother-in-law didn't let him in.

But being close, he will be more motivated to study, and he will not be bored at home all day long.

On the first day of school, Mayor Qian also gave the school a pair of plaques, which said, teaching and educating people will last forever.

Those who can send their children to school have expectations for their children. Qin Yide is also from a poor family, so he understands it very well.

He can't let Master Ruyi's money go to waste, he will teach these dozen children very seriously every day, and the parents feel that all the hard work is worth it when they hear the children reading loudly outside.

Especially the meal that Qiao Mai took care of at noon was a great help to them. Half a child eats me to death. If I can save this meal, I can save a lot of food for the family for a year.

Not to mention this, their children can still eat well and eat well in school.

Although there is no big fish or meat, the meals sent by Jixiangyuan are either rice or steamed buns with Erhe noodles.

Those who didn’t send their children to school felt a little regretful. On the one hand, they were reluctant to part with the labor at home, and on the other hand, they were reluctant to part with the school’s meals.

Qiao Mai smiled after hearing this, this is why they are poor.

However, it's up to them, and she won't rush to beg them if they don't come.

Mr. Lin sneered when he knew this, and went to Mayor Qian’s house to complain to him.

"Mayor, do you think this Mrs. Qiao has a grudge with Lin? She came to tear down my platform when I opened a private school, and I also want to open a school. Isn't this a clear way to steal people from me?"
