Chapter 144: Peach Blossom Village that scholar
Chapter 144 That scholar in Peach Blossom Village
"Here, it's here, the children are all studying at the moment, you should be quieter, pass through the alley next to you, go to the back to see Dad Xiucai, let's find out first, if you think it's okay, then go to see Xiucai and tell you , Xiucai is not accepted by all children, don't want to be misbehaving, don't want to be too naughty, and many children have been returned before."
When Huang Ergou heard this, he thanked him with sincerity and sincerity, and then entered the open yard according to the man's instructions. There is a patio with a lot of flowers planted in it. There are two rows of houses on the side, the lobby for guests is in the middle, and there seems to be a yard in the back, but Huang Ergou didn't dare to go to see it. It's all useless.
Xiucai's father was quite friendly. When he saw Huang Ergou, he guessed what he meant. He led someone to sit down and asked, "Want to send the child to study?"
Huang Ergou nodded without thinking.
Xiucai Dad laughed and said: "Don't be nervous, I'll talk to you first, but do you know the situation of our repair here?"
Huang Ergou shook his head honestly, a gleam of light flashed in Daddy Xiucai's eyes, and his smile became more and more kind, "Then I'll tell you, my son's admission of students is one two to eight hundred yuan a year, and he has to add four As for the gift, it depends on everyone's wishes, usually it's chicken, duck, fish, and snacks, but do you understand it clearly?"
Huang Ergou continued to nod, and Dad Xiucai felt at ease and pondered lazily: "Since you know everything, then bring the child over to take a look. If my son thinks there is no problem, he can just stay."
Huang Ergou was stunned for a while, but when Xiucai Dad saw his reaction, he frowned and said, "What? Are there any questions?"
"Yes, there are still some problems." Huang Ergou said hesitantly about his own situation, "We are far away, and it is not safe to go back and forth every day. I don't know if there are children in the same situation in the school. How did everyone solve it? ?"
"It's not easy to do! Those who have relatives nearby live in relatives' houses, and those who don't have relatives can rent a house in the village and give the owner some money." Father Xiucai said indifferently.
When Huang Ergou heard it, he finally understood why the man was so attentive to him just now, and their feelings are also good for them, but why does this sound not very reliable.
Of course, Huang Ergou didn't say anything in front of the scholar's father. He only said that he would go back and discuss with his family. After leaving the yard, he began to wander around the village. It was not until the class was over that he chased after a few people living in the village. The outsiders in the village asked. They first asked if they had classmates surnamed Wen, and then asked about the food and accommodation in the village, and then they rushed back to Fushan Village.
Mrs. Zhao was a little restless all day, and she was always distracted at work. She finally looked forward to Huang Ergou's return, and hurriedly boiled water for him to cook. The couple went back to the room, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly asked: "But I found that scholar's house. ?"
Huang Ergou had a gloomy expression, "I found it, but it's not very good."
Mr. Zhao was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, "What's not good?" After saying that, Mrs. Zhao sat down beside Huang Ergou and waited eagerly for him to explain.
Huang Ergou's brows were almost tied, and he made a belly draft before slowly saying: "I tell you, that scholar's family lives in Peach Blossom Village, which is considered a big family in the village, at least it lives in a brick house. The big yard is quite elaborate. As soon as I enter the village, someone will lead me there.
I didn't see Xiucai, but I did see Xiucai's father. As soon as he opened his mouth, he told me that he would be 12,800 yuan a year, and he had to give him four gifts. Originally, this was nothing, but later I chatted with those scholars for a while. Knowing that gift-giving is only a rule for foreigners, and people from their own village or nearby villages don't need to do this when they study there.
There is one more thing, you can’t live in a school if you are far from home, you can only rent a house with the villagers, and the owner of the house will also follow the house. "
Zhao Shi silently counted the accounts in his heart, and his fiery heart gradually cooled down, "If this is the case, the two children's bundle repairs are two hundred and one hundred wen, and the rituals you said will cost two or three hundred wen. , and the child's food and accommodation for a year and four hundred yuan, plus buying books, ink, paper, inkstone, seventy-eighty-eight, and eighty-nine taels a year! If you are good, that's fine, listen to you Why do I feel so uneasy! By the way, are Yuanliang and his brothers there too?"
Huang Ergou shook his head, lowered his voice and said, "No, I have asked several people, and they all said that there is no surname Wen. When I inquired later, we in Qing'an County have a total of two talented people and five scholars, and Taohua Village is the closest, so I can say no. Zhun Yuanliang and the others are studying elsewhere."
Zhao Shi was silent, and he became more and more resistant to the scholar in Taohua Village. The two were silent and confronted each other. After a long time, Huang Ergou said sullenly: "It seems that I can only inquire with him when Youshan comes back. It's wider than us, but don't tell your sister-in-law about this."
Mrs Zhao nodded sharply, she also expected to raise silkworms to earn money for her son to study, she would never go beyond the rules unless it was absolutely necessary.
Wen Youshan returned to the village in midsummer in June. This time, he not only brought a lot of fresh things from outside, but also brought back a lot of goose seedlings for Chen Ningya.
Seeing these goose seedlings, Chen Ningya was overwhelmed, and she was a little rude, "Why did you get so many. The terrifying long-necked thing is back!"
Wen Youshan's proud face froze for a moment, and he asked in surprise: "Doesn't the lady like it?"
Chen Ningya nodded frantically, "I was chased by geese when I was young, and there are still shadows now!"
Thinking of the past embarrassing incident, her face changed again, and she hid behind Wen Youshan.
Wen Youshan looked at her like that, and hurriedly asked the servants to take the cage down, then he put his arms around her and entered the room, "If you don't like geese, then leave it alone. I'll let the servants take charge of this matter."
Looking at Chen Ningya's doubtful eyes, Wen Youshan explained, "I plan to open a restaurant for that store in our county seat, and we won't sell anything else, just roast goose. I ate it in Fucheng once before, and it really tastes good. No, it’s a pity that the weather is hot and I can’t bring it back. But I have eaten roast duck made by Niangzi a few times before, and it tastes good. I wonder if Niangzi can try to make roast goose. If possible, our shop will be open next year. open."
Chen Ningya didn't know what to say anymore, and it took a long time before she said depressedly: "It's better to sell roast duck than you sell roast goose! At least there are plenty of ducks in our village."
Wen Youshan scratched his head, and said embarrassedly, "I'm not thinking that we don't have roast goose here. If the store opens up and operates well, it will allow the people in the village to raise goose, and the uncle's side. This will make life easier for everyone.”
