Chapter 328 Preparations before the opening of the school

Shui Qing was counting money at home again.

The piglets are sold for 800 cents each, and the lambs are sold for 200 cents each. The prices are not expensive, even cheap in Quang Ninh Province. The woman in the village thanked her gratefully, thinking that she was looking out for her fellow villagers. Taking care of fellow villagers is so affordable.

She actually has selfish motives.

She looked down on the money from selling livestock cubs. She had never thought of making money by selling livestock before, not to mention that now that she had a large fixed source of income from the medicine shop, she would not make a fortune from it.

She started raising livestock just to improve the family's food supply so that the family could have fresh meat at any time.

Raising livestock is trivial and tiring, but the money you get is not much, which means there is not much profit margin, and it is not worth spending a lot of manpower.

The most important thing about her selling is that she wants people in the village to raise livestock. Even if each household only raises a few animals, if there are more than 30 households, that means hundreds of animals!

How much wool can hundreds of animals provide? And if all these hundreds of animals are raised by the family, how much land will they occupy? How many houses will be built? The most important thing is how many people need to be hired to feed it well?

But it's different when it's dispersed in a village. Everyone in the family can do it, such as hunting pigs, herding sheep, etc., which is something that even the children can do, which is equivalent to being used by everyone in the family.

The animals mainly earn money from their meat, with fur accounting for a very small proportion, and they are all cubs bought back from her. When she buys back the fur, it is a matter of mutual benefit.

Shui Qing happily finished counting the silver and just put it away when she saw Fan Jin walking in.

There was a slight hesitation on his fair cheeks, and he seemed to have something to say.

Shui Qing took the initiative and asked, "What's the matter?"

Fan Jin looked over with dark eyes, and his words were obviously deliberation: "My original plan was to finish building the schoolhouse and officially teach the children in the village after the farm work, but I went to the city a few days ago, and there were many men in the village. I am injured, thinking that these children can help at home, and I plan to wait until the injured person recovers."

Shui Qing listened carefully and nodded.

Children from poor families have become parents early. Except for a few particularly accustomed children, most of them are used as adults by the age of ten, and can be used as half-adults by the age of nine. Even six- or seven-year-old children can go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, pick mushrooms, and put them in the fields. Potato cubes can also be used to feed the younger brothers and sisters at home.

It can help the family in any way.

"I went to the village in the afternoon to find the old village chief and learned that most of the men in the village went to distant places to cut down trees, and many of them went up the mountain to carry stones to use as desks and chairs. Today I can buy less than half of them, and there are more Everything can be purchased in two or three days.

Their desire to make children literate is more urgent than I thought, so I thought about officially starting in four days? "

"Okay, you can make the decision about teaching." Shui Qing felt that she had no experience in what to teach and how to teach her. She couldn't help with these things, so of course she had to listen to him.

After all, Fan Jin will also be a high-ranking official in the future, uh, equivalent to the official position of the head of the Huaguo Provincial Department of Education.

Now is the time to practice in advance and accumulate experience along the way, so that you will not be divorced from reality in the future, but can start from the actual situation and reality.

Fan Jin pursed his lips and said in a somewhat unspeakable voice: "The old village chief and the others have already solved the problem of tables and chairs, as well as paper - they used bluestone slabs to make desks and paper at the same time. They used tree branches to make pens and dipped them in water on the bluestone slabs. Write on it.

It’s just that writing on branches is different from writing with a brush, so I’m wondering if it’s possible.”

Shui Qing understood. No wonder Fan Jin came to discuss with her who knew nothing about it. Did he want to buy brushes through the shopping mall?

Think about it, a brush in the city costs at least 150 yuan, even if it is a defective product, it costs 120 yuan, while the brushes in the mall cost more than 90 yuan!

What a huge price difference, as long as you are not stupid you can figure out which one is more cost-effective.

She agreed without hesitation: "Okay, I'll buy it from the mall."

Fan Jin shook his head hurriedly and interrupted: "No, no, I mean to give the brushes that I used before and those that Yan Qiuxing returned to their children to the schoolhouse for the children in the village to use."

Although these brushes are not worn out, they are more or less bald and not smooth to use or the ink is not full. However, the children in the village have just begun to learn it, and it is not formal writing, so it is completely sufficient.

The brushes at Shuiqing Mall are indeed very cost-effective, but there is no need to buy dozens of new brushes at once. He is also worried about provoking his mother and his eldest brother and sister-in-law to have other thoughts.

Life was originally easy because I was afraid of other people's jealousy and hatred, but I didn't expect that in the end, the people who were most jealous and resentful were my closest relatives.

He didn't want to attract too much attention, so he was content if Shuiqing could promise to send him a used and not broken brush.

Shui Qing thought she heard wrongly.

Does Fan Jin still need to come and ask her opinion on whether to give away some used brushes?

"Sure, I don't have any objections. From now on, you can make the decision on these little things. You don't need to ask my opinion."

Fan Jin's pretty lips raised a smile, and he said with satisfaction: "You are in charge of the house, so naturally I need to ask for your opinion, not to mention these valuables."

Shui Qing thought it was a trivial matter because the brushes in the mall were very cheap, but Mingchao's brushes were not cheap at all. It was a huge amount of property. Of course, he had to ask her opinion and get her consent.

Shui Qing: How is this younger daughter-in-law than the ancient daughter-in-law? Those who didn’t know better thought she was a tigress and was keeping him in check!

She sighed, changed the subject, and mentioned the old village chief's plan to host a village banquet, which Sister-in-law Guifen wanted to put on the first day of school.

"Since you are going to start school in four days, I will go and tell Sister Guifen later."

"Okay."

Four days later is the twelfth day of the winter month. After entering the winter month, the weather is getting colder day by day.

The people working in the herbal medicine shop put on their winter clothes early.

After the cloth was delivered, the family was afraid that they would be frozen and delayed their work, so they worked on their "work clothes" first, even the children at home were put behind!

So the people in the herbal medicine shop were the first to put on warm winter clothes. The uniform colors were very beautiful, and the fine cotton inner clothes were close-fitting and comfortable, and the quilted coarse cotton clothes on the outside were warm and dirt-resistant. Everyone was very satisfied with the warmth.

But there were also some who were not satisfied.

That was Fan's mother. She came to make trouble several times. Seeing that the people in the herbal medicine shop did not dare to do anything to her, she became more unscrupulous and cursed in the streets sooner or later.

Later, she felt that there was no practical benefit in just cursing, except wasting her breath. She thought that she was Fan Jin's biological mother and Hu Shuiqing's biological mother-in-law. They couldn't do anything to her, and the group of people who worked for her son couldn't do anything to her. With this in mind, she changed to eating at noon!

This meal was incredible! It was so delicious that she almost swallowed her tongue.

After eating two meals, she was not satisfied with eating alone. Thinking of her eldest son and four grandchildren at home, they rushed to the lunch before the noon meal.
