Chapter 283 Admissions (third update)

Author: Wheat Pineapple

After chatting with Zhao Yunlan that day, Chen Chongmin seemed to have a fire in his heart and began to be busy with enrollment matters. The plaque of the school name was sent, with the word "rewarding hard work" engraved on it.

"God rewards hard work, and reading is not something that can be achieved overnight. I hope everyone can persist for more than one day." Zhao Yunlan explained this to Chen Chongmin when she used it as the name of the school.

But everything was difficult at the beginning. I talked about so much of my original intention before, but in the end I was unable to recruit students, I extinguished the fire in my heart. Although Zhao Yunlan had already received very little training, she only had to pay fifty documents per semester, and the fifty documents included a daily lunch, but there were still only a few people who came to register. The few people included Chen Chongmin's three children and the eldest grandson of the village chief of Xingshu Village.

The village chief of Xingshu Village is Xu Youde, who has two sons. In the next generation, there are four grandchildren and three granddaughters. They are children from two houses. Except for the young grandson and the young granddaughter, the other grandchildren can already help the family with some simple housework.

When Zhao Yunlan learned about the enrollment situation, she came to the school. When she thought about the children of Village Chief Xu, she kept sighing. So many children are the source of students. She can still send one out, and so many families don’t even dare to send their children to study.

Of course, these villagers cannot be blamed for this. Before Qin Peng came, the education in Shiyang County was not valued. Reading and recognizing words could only be discussed in the circle of rich people. Qin Peng came to be the county magistrate and worked hard for so many years before gradually pushing the imperial examination to the people's homes, but there are still not many scholars like this.

But no one in the world wants their children to become famous. They just have to bow to reality. It is not necessarily possible to support a scholar to use the whole family to achieve success. It is better to let the children stay at home to work and have more labor. Perhaps accumulating generations can try to support scholars, not to mention providing girls with a lot of money. That must be because the family has gold and silver, and a daughter must be able to read some books.

That's what the people think, one word "wait", but Zhao Yunlan can't wait.

"We don't just don't care about lunch, but the children bring their own food to the school to eat." Zhao Yunlan said firmly.

Chen Chongmin was surprised: "Dean, this is inappropriate!"

Zhao Yunlan: "Oh, I'm a little sorry for Mrs. Wan. I agreed to let her come to school to be the cook."

Chen Chongmin shook his head and said, "I don't mean that, I'm worried that our school will lose money!"

Zhao Yunlan: "If we lose a little, we can get more children to come to school, that's a good thing. That's it. We won't hand in the first semester for the training, and we will explain it clearly to everyone in the registration."

Li Mingli nodded: "Okay."

The enrollment was dispersed again, and Chen Chongmin returned the 35-month receipt of Village Chief Xu. Sure enough, within a while, Village Chief Xu sent two other grandsons at home to register.

"There are two other granddaughters who are older, aren't they? Why didn't they come?" Chen Chongmin asked.

Xu Youde smiled and said, "The girls don't stop studying, let them help with some work at home."

Just as Chen Chongmin was about to refute, Li Mingli stepped forward and said, "College Xu doesn't know. Now the girl in the capital has allowed her to study more. The girl who has studied can still find good work in the capital. I heard that she can get five taels of silver a month, what is the accountant and the kitchen manager."

Village Chief Xu widened his eyes: "Really?"

Li Mingli nodded: "I'm trying to fool you, can you lie?"

Xu Youde was a little moved, but just looked behind him and said, "Hey, that's all the capital. It's far away. The capital is full of wealthy families, so we can't reach it."

Li Mingli was not in a hurry, but just smiled and said, "Then I won't talk about the capital, I just talk about the capital. The capital is close to it. Now the girls in the city are all studying. Look at our daughter of Mr. Chen's family, aren't they also studying? Not to mention whether they can go out to work, just girls who have studied can find better families. Village chief, think about it, which family does not read and write in those scholars."

Xu Youde was thinking about something, but later he talked about the point. It would be beneficial to the family to find a good marriage for his granddaughters.

Li Mingli continued: "We are not going to finish the work now, so why not send all the children here to try it out. I really don't have the talent to study, and I'm thinking about other ways out, and there are so many work I can do at home that requires girls to do!"

Xu Youde nodded in agreement with Li Mingli's words.

"Okay, then I'll send my two granddaughters over, you guys wait."

Xu Youde left, Chen Chongmin pulled Li Mingli to the side and said, "I asked my daughter to study not to marry a good family. Don't talk nonsense in front of my daughter. Although I am resentful about fame and fortune, I also know that my qualifications are mediocre, and I will never plan my future with my daughter." After saying that, I was glad that my daughter was not in school just now, otherwise my daughter would have to be sad.

Li Mingli nodded: "I know Mr. Chen's character. I just said that just now, following the village chief's idea. We cannot persuade them in a preaching way. We must put the actual interests in front of them and let them take this step first."

Chen Chongmin understood what Li Mingli meant, so he could only do this. Anyway, the effect of saying this is indeed obvious.

"Hey, you just said that the capital is now recruiting female workers, and they have to recruit literacy people, and they will pay five taels of silver a month. Is this a fool to village chief Xu?" Chen Chongmin just wanted to ask if it was true, but village chief Xu was there, so he was afraid that if it was fake, it would be exposed, and then it would be a bad thing.

Li Mingli nodded sincerely: "Yes, I can go and have a chance to see it." But he said in his heart: Because it is my restaurant.

The fire that was put out because it could not recruit students seemed to be ignited in Chen Chongmin's heart in an instant.

After a while, Village Chief Xu brought two granddaughters to sign up, and Village Chief Xu was following several villagers who were holding their children, including boys and girls. Of course, there were more boys than girls.

After signing up, Zhao Yunlan looked at the roster, including twenty-two boys and eight girls. There were only thirty people in several villages to sign up, but she was still a little dissatisfied.

Li Mingli had no choice but to comfort her: "Sister-in-law, let's do it step by step, don't worry."

Zhao Yunlan could only sigh in her heart: "Yes, take it step by step." Then she took out the class schedule from Chunxiang and handed it to Chen Chongmin.

"Mr. Chen, this is the class schedule I made. Please see if you don't understand."

Chen Chongmin took a look and the class schedule was divided into two groups in the morning and afternoon. Each group had three classes: literary class, physical class, and daily class.

Chen Chongmin understood the literary class, which should be to teach everyone to learn literature and literacy. What are these stylists and daily classes?

Zhao Yunlan explained: "The physical education class is to let everyone exercise and strengthen their bodies. It is easy to understand and play. I will find another teacher to teach you. This daily class is to talk about common sense, such as talking about weather, how to recognize money, and what issues should be paid attention to when you go out. Just talk about the teacher and say whatever you think."

Chen Chongmin wondered why he had to schedule classes like this, but Zhao Yunlan was the dean or the county magistrate's wife. Since she said that, she would not say more. Although Zhao Yunlan was polite to her, she still had to understand what she should understand.

Zhao Yunlan continued: "I'd like to prepare the lesson before the lecture. Although it's done by the teacher, I still want to know what the children can learn every day, and whether they can learn it is another matter."

Chen Chongmin really doesn't understand this time, "I'm sorry for being stupid. Dean, what is this lesson preparation?"

Zhao Yunlan took out a booklet again and gave it to Chen Chongmin, "Look, this is my lesson preparation for the first three words of the thousand-character text for teachers, and the lesson preparation for the recognition of money in life classes."

After reading the booklet, Chen Chongmin couldn't help looking at Zhao Yunlan, staring at the boss with his eyes wide open.

Li Mingli coughed and reminded her, and then Chen Chongmin realized: "I'm rude."

Zhao Yunlan smiled and said, "It's okay. Then you understand this lesson preparation and follow me. This is what I assigned to Mr. Chen. Leave this lesson preparation to me before class."

Chen Chongmin answered: "Yes, Dean."

Zhao Yunlan left happily. In fact, Zhao Yunlan remembered the lesson plan for preparing lessons and writing lesson plans temporarily. When she was teaching in the mountains, she used to prepare lesson plans because she had multiple subjects, so she often prepared lesson plans until midnight. Zhao Yunlan remembered that time was only a little sigh. So when she was scheduling the lesson plan, she wrote two lesson plans, and then she wanted Chen Chongmin to write them in a bad way.
