Chapter 15

Reading is difficult. There are too few literate people in the world. First, they have no money, second, they have no chance, and third, they are not smart enough.

There was no school in the previous villages. The children had to go to the county and city to study, but they were barely fed and clothed. Even those with richer families could not afford the children.

Master Bai moved to Qili Village with his family. His two CHILDES needed to study, so he went to the county to hire Mr. Zhuang.

Although Mr. Zhuang didn't pass the examination, he was also admitted to the government school. He had good character and morality. If it was only a general reward, how could he be willing to teach in Qili Village, a small mountain village?

Mr. Bai was reluctant to pay Mr. Zhuang's heart. Finally, he thought of a way, that is, the Bai family would pay Mr. Zhuang to set up a school, give Mr. Zhuang's shuxiu to their family, and then recruit all the children who are suitable for school nearby, and each child would pay a shuxiu. This money would make a lot of money, and the reward would be rich.

The school has the final say of Mr. Zhuang, but it belongs to Mr. Zhuang. The student's Shu Xiu has always been held by Mr. Zhuang, and he must take what he wants.

However, whether it's out of courtesy or because of his cooperative relationship with master Bai, man Bao has to tell master Bai whether he can enter the school or not.

However, Mr. Zhuang doesn't think it's urgent because man Bao is still young. Now it's OK to learn some basics slowly with him.

When the new year is over, she will be older and enter school again.

It's hard for the Zhou family to put manbao out to study.

When Mr. Zhuang first came, he enrolled students in several nearby villages. Those adults also knew the benefits of reading. They looked up and advised their nephews to work hard to make money in the future and enter school if they had the opportunity. When they looked down and saw the desire in the girls' eyes, they advised and scolded, "what fun does the girls join in? Hurry home. Can you see this academic thing? "

Man Bao eavesdropped outside the window. At first, there was an uproar in Qili Village. The child was young and didn't know anything.

But Mr. Zhuang knew that there was an old man in Qili Village who found master Bai and asked him to take the job of little Qian, so that man Bao would not always eavesdrop on classes and bring bad atmosphere in the village.

He stopped.

First, little Qian was really diligent and didn't do much. Second, he liked man Bao very much at that time.

So, "everyone has the heart to learn. Why kill it?"

Then there are more children eavesdropping in the window. At most, the two windows are full of people, all boys.

This is a very immoral behavior among scholars, but Mr. Zhuang said it. Naturally, he can't vary from person to person.

Also because of this, at that time, several students dropped out of school immediately. The parents came to get shuxiu, turned around and rushed the children to the window to steal school.

Mr. Zhuang was in a hurry, but he could only be angry in his heart. He just couldn't see the people outside the window.

Not everyone is like man Bao.

At that time, man Bao was just over a year old. She had just learned to speak. She was still walking unsteadily. She didn't know enough about the outside world and was not greedy for fun. She could sit on the threshold and play quietly all day. When she was happy, she read two sentences with the children in the classroom. When she was unhappy, she poked ants with a small stick for half a day.

But the children outside the window are the youngest seven years old and the oldest ten years old. It is the time when they are the most restless and playful.

In less than five days, they ran almost by themselves. The parents of the students who dropped out of school didn't say anything when they saw that their children had stolen anything, and forgot almost all the words they had learned before.

I was so angry that I couldn't help sending the child back again.

Since then, few boys have come to eavesdrop, but one or two girls began to lie carefully outside the window.

But before Mr. Zhuang had a reaction, the parents of those girls had the first attack.

They will first pull the girl away, and then beat and scold, "can you listen to reading? I think you have a big heart. You have time to cut pig grass, pull grass in the fields and pick firewood in the mountains. Why don't you have any work in your eyes? How can you get married in the future... "

In fact, there are some ideas that Mr. Zhuang once thought.

For example, boys' reading is more important than girls' reading, and he also values boys more.

But I don't know if he is old. Mr. Zhuang thinks more; Or because people are prone to rebellious psychology when they encounter things they don't like.

Anyway, before he knew it, he changed a lot of ideas.

In particular, man Bao is getting bigger and bigger day by day, showing his intelligence day by day.

She recited more books in the window than the students sitting in the school, and she recognized no less words according to his manuscript than the students studying in the school.

She is also filial. She knows that after listening to his class, she wants to call him Mr. and that she wants to clean his yard and desk

He was ill. As soon as the serious student heard that he could have a holiday, she ran out, but she knew that she wandered around the yard, poured him a cup of hot water, and took his clothes back to wash her sister-in-law

And pester her mother to bring him an extra egg.

He knew that the Zhou family loved this youngest girl, but he was not sure whether they would like her to study.

Therefore, in order to increase this possibility and make the event develop healthily, he will not bind and repair, nor even ask the Zhou family to buy Pen, ink, paper and inkstone for man Bao.

The attention of the Zhou family surprised him.

Because they brought not only a piece of bacon, but also a suit of clothes and a pair of shoes.

Mr. Zhuang couldn't help laughing. It seems that the Zhou family really paid enough attention to this little disciple. He accepted it with a smile.

Old Zhou tou was relieved and quickly asked man Bao to kneel down and kowtow to Mr. Zhuang for tea.

Mr. Zhuang took a sip of tea and gave a set of pen, ink and inkstone prepared early in the morning to man Bao. Oh, and a handful of scallion pulled from the backyard.

Mr. Zhuang is very happy to accept such a clever disciple.

Old Zhou tou and his two sons were also very happy. Listening to Mr. Zhuang's voice, man Bao doesn't need to buy any books for the time being. He can copy whatever he wants to use at that time.

The three vaguely looked at what man Bao held in his arms and thought that they had all the pen, ink and inkstone. They would buy some paper for the child later.

Although there was an extra expense at home, the expense was much less than expected. Of course, the three were also very happy.

Man Bao is also very happy. Everyone is happy to receive the gift, not to mention it from her favorite Mr. Zhuang.

Everyone is happy.

Old Zhou tou wanted to invite Mr. Zhuang home for dinner, which was also a celebration of man Bao's worship.

Mr. Zhuang shook his head and refused. He said, "there's still a class today. Come to the door another day."

Old Zhou tou remembered that Mr. Zhuang still had classes. He was a little fidgety at once.

As he spoke, there was also the sound of children chasing and fighting outside. Mr. Zhuang knew that the children were coming.
