Chapter 410: free school
Chapter 410 Free school
Wang Fu's eyes lit up and he cautiously asked, "Then how much did you pay for this apartment?"
It is the dream of every foreigner to have a real place to live in a foreign land.
Lou Guan smiled and said, "The apartment is not too expensive. In terms of area, the one you live in now is only about fifty taels."
"Fifty two!"
Wang Fu smacked his tongue, "This is too expensive!"
The Lou Guan smiled and said: "Where are you going, the villa is expensive! Fifty taels seems like a lot, but you husband and wife earn five taels a month, it's not only a matter of two or three years, not to mention, we are happy. The city has welfare, you can borrow money from the imperial court to buy a house, as long as you have a fixed job, you can buy a house in advance.”
Wang Fu was stunned, "What is a loan?"
Why is it like going to a different world in the southern border, there are always so strange new words.
The building management couldn't explain the loan, so he said: "Oh, you will understand when you go down, don't worry, anyway, as long as the loan is approved, the house of fifty taels will be repaid every month after paying the down payment, and the house will belong to you. already."
Wang Fu saw the impatience of the building manager, so he took the loan to buy a house in mind, and asked carefully after work.
He returned to the apartment with the clothes distributed to them by the building manager. Su Susu and Ming'er had already organized their small home in a decent manner, full of warmth.
Seeing him come back with the clothes, Su Susu happily took it and unfolded the clothes with Minger.
Clothes unfolded, and their eyes were fixed again.
This dress is too strange, with only half sleeves.
Su Susu sighed: "It can only be worn inside."
Ming'er said, "Mother, I think many people from southern Xinjiang wear outside."
I was too nervous when I first arrived here, and they didn't pay attention. Su Susu was stunned for a moment, and memories emerged. It was true that many people in southern Xinjiang wore short-sleeved trousers outside.
Su Susu looked at Wang Fu, "Should we follow the customs of the countryside too?"
In addition to showing his arms, this dress is not too revealing.
Wang Fu hesitated: "Let's take a look at the situation first."
"Well, but the material is really good, the color is beautiful, and it is durable. It can be worn for a long time at a glance."
Morning smiled and said, "Mother, I want to give it a try."
He hasn't worn new clothes for a long time.
Su Susu thinks about it, it should be fine for a child to wear, anyway, tomorrow is a boy, she smiled and said: "Well, mother will go to boil water later, let's take a bath and then change into clean clothes, okay?"
Ming'er said earnestly, "You don't need to boil water, you need money to boil it. It's hot here, so I'll just wash it with cold water!"
Su Susu knew that Ming'er wanted to save money for the family, and said with a smile: "It doesn't cost much, but it costs more when you're sick, and cold water can't remove the smell of sweat. Listen to my mother, just use hot water, our whole family is in pain. Have a good time washing it!"
Ming'er's eyes were bright, and she said happily: "Okay, I'll help my mother carry water!"
Speaking of water, Su Susu remembered that they didn't even have a wooden barrel at home, so they had to buy some daily necessities.
The family came out of the apartment and quickly found the market in Happy City according to the instructions.
Bazaar is divided into various areas, daily necessities, food, clothing, nurseries, livestock and so on.
They enter from the daily necessities area.
Soon, Su Susu saw all kinds of bamboo utensils, wooden containers, pots and pans, and the prices were still very cheap.
As the building manager said, you can earn at least one or two silvers a month in southern Xinjiang. Compared with the price, it is really low.
They only buy necessities, and they can make their own tableware, but they have to buy a wooden barrel, an iron pot or a clay pot, and a few feet of fabric to cut into menstrual belts. They use grass and wood ash all the time, which is really uncomfortable. .
When the wooden barrel was bought, Wang Fu carried it, while Su Susu led his son forward.
Tribal women with only a few small pieces of cloth passed by.
Su Susu quickly covered her son's eyes, but Wang Fu's eyes followed.
Su Susu coughed lightly before he recovered and smiled shyly.
Su Susu couldn't help but complained: "It's really immoral to be able to go to the street dressed like this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Cui Lingyi wearing a curvy red dress with curb shoulders, gracefully entering everyone's sight.
Cui Lingyi's snow-white skin was dazzling against the red dress. Su Susu was dumbfounded. She didn't understand why this woman was so elegant and charming in such revealing clothes.
The girls behind Cui Lingyi also wore various styles of skirts, and were holding a book in their hands. They were beautiful and intellectual.
They smiled happily. Except for the shock of the newcomers, the local people seemed to be accustomed to it.
Su Susu couldn't help but ask the boss who sold the barrels, "Why do they have books in their hands?"
The boss smiled and said, "They are all college students at Qinghe Women's College. It is normal to take books, and we often take books too!"
The boss raised his neck slightly when he spoke, obviously a little proud.
"Women's College?" Su Susu was surprised.
The boss hummed, "The girls here can go to school just like the boys. If they pass the assessment, they can become officials. The one in the red dress just now is the dean of our Qinghe Women's College and the director of the Women's Rescue Center. !"
Su Susu was shocked again, not only female emperors in southern Xinjiang, but even women can go to school and become officials.
Is there a place more enlightened than southern Xinjiang?
Su Susu's few knowledge told her that probably not.
She didn't expect herself to be like them, and she felt a little envious in her heart.
Wang Fu was very concerned, "If the child goes to school, do you have any requirements?"
Morning's eyes widened in surprise, unable to believe that his father wanted to send him to school.
You must know that none of the children in their village have gone to school yet.
The boss is a very talkative person, and said with a smile: "Our children under the age of ten in southern Xinjiang go to school for free, and if they don't go to school, they will chase you. Ask the elementary school in front of you."
Free school! !
OMG!
Wang Fu's whole family felt like they were dreaming, so they quickly said goodbye to the boss and came to the gate of Qinghe Primary School.
Through the fence, I saw a lot of children around the age of tomorrow, happily playing football on the playground.
Ming'er's eyes are full of envy, while Su Susu is very puzzled. Isn't she reading? Why can't she see the children playing all the time.
Wang Fu also had this doubt, so he stepped forward and asked the uncle on duty at the door, "Uncle, is this the academy?"
Uncle looked up at them wearing glasses, pointed at the stone tablet and said, "Isn't that written in big characters, Qinghe Primary School! What are you doing here?"
Ming'er stood on tiptoe and stuck her head out: "Grandpa, I also want to go to school. I heard that you are free here."
Uncle glanced down and smiled, "Oh, the little guy is here, then you go in and ask the gentlemen."
