Lu Quan didn't feel anything was wrong when he came in. He had already made an agreement with Qiu to send Xiaosi to study.

Qiu's thinking was more long-term than Lu Quan's.

Xiaosi is the apple of the eye of Mr. Lu’s family. Mr. Lu must have asked his husband to enlighten Xiaosi, otherwise she would not be able to read or do arithmetic.

Since they can't afford a husband to teach Xiaosi, they might as well send her to school for two years.

It's better than being like them and being blind all your life.

Wait a few years until the fourth child is older and has a man and a woman, and then he can stay at home to recuperate.

After hearing Lu Quan say that he was willing to send Xiaosi to a private school, Shopkeeper Li was convinced.

He has been in Jiangjiaba for ten years and is not familiar with the private schools around him, but he is also aware of them.

He immediately suggested to Lu Quan that since he wanted to send his primary school boy to study, he should of course go to Qingshan Academy. He hadn't left yet, and he could still use it to help others.

There are several private schools in Jiangjiaba, but Manager Li doesn't like any of them. Qingshan Academy is the leading school nearby, and is so famous that even Huaicheng and Dongyang County have many students studying here.

The only disadvantage is that it is a little far from Jiangjiaba, and it takes about half an hour by water.

"Half an hour, not far, not far."

Lu Quan said, "I went to lower the net over there. The water is deep, there are many fish, and the boat there is less harvesty, so it's still good. When I pick up Xiao Si in the morning and evening, I just go to lower the net and collect the net, so there is no delay."

"father."

Seeing that Lu Quan agreed without hesitation, Lu Sheige hurriedly stopped him, "My child is still young, so why not study in Jiangjiaba's private school for a year and a half, and then go to Qingshan Academy after enlightenment and knowing a few more words."

Just kidding, she just needs to let others have no objections to her reading and literacy. It's not like she wants to get fame or go to Qingshan Academy.

Besides, she saw that the Red Tassel Army was about to attack after the autumn harvest, and she had no time to hide. How could she let herself be looked down upon?

Lu Quan didn't have any big ideas. When Lu Sheige said this, he hesitated again: "Then, why don't we study at Jiangjiaba for two years first?"

This is what I asked shopkeeper Li.

Shopkeeper Li strongly recommended Xiaosi to go to Qingshan Academy. Qingshan Academy must be excellent.

If he refuses people like this, doesn't he slap them in the face again and again?

Shopkeeper Li was probably used to being rejected, so he didn't feel any trouble at all when Lu Xiaosi refused to go to Qingshan Academy.

"Then find a private school in Jiangjiaba."

Shopkeeper Li pondered for a moment and told the Lu family and his son about several private schools in Jiangjiaba: "There are three private schools in Jiangjiaba, one is Liu Xiucai near the gate, and the other is Dong Xiucai in the town near Xie's drug store.

There is another private school also named Dong. It was originally opened by an old scholar, but the old scholar left the year before last, and now this private school is run by his son. His son has not yet obtained the title of scholar, so he just teaches a few children while studying.

Let’s eat together.”

Lu Quan hurriedly asked: "What do you think is the best restaurant for Xiao Si to go to?"

He really didn't understand, but fortunately he had self-awareness and asked if he didn't understand.

Who told Shopkeeper Li to be enthusiastic?

"Don't go to Dongsheng's house. He failed the scholar exam for several years, and his ability to teach juniors is limited. The old scholar Liu is old-fashioned, has great rules, and is very particular about accepting students. Dong Xiucai is young and upright, and has good knowledge.

He will probably take the exams to obtain meritorious status later on, but I'm afraid he won't be very careful about it."

This is why shopkeeper Li immediately sent the fourth child to Qingshan Academy. Qingshan Academy also has a Mengtong class. The fourth child is sent to the Mengtong class for enlightenment. When the literacy level is improved, he can enter the juvenile class there.

Before Lu Quan could think of anything, Lu Sheige said bluntly: "I'm going to Dong Xiucai's house."

While she and Dong Yong were busy dyeing, they heard Dong Yong mention that when he was studying, he attended the private school of Dong Xiucai's family.

Although Dong Yong's father and brother were naughty and playful when nothing happened, he still learned very solid knowledge.

If nothing happened to the Dong family, there would have been no problem for Dong Yong to pass the exam as a boy student.

According to Dong Yong, the old scholar Liu failed in many tests and had a weird temper. He liked to slap the palms of students.

Moreover, he requires the students to prepare their own boards when playing with them.

For example, he said to a student, go back and choose a piece of bamboo that is this long for me. I will make a pointer and choose one close to the root of the bamboo, and I must leave a piece of bamboo root out.

Why choose one close to the bamboo root? Of course it is strong and durable and not easy to break.

The student went back happily, and specially selected a pointer that was neither thick nor thin, felt great in hand, and was close to the bamboo root.

He happily thought that his husband asked him to choose the pointer because he liked him.

Who would have expected that this pointer would later become his dedicated pointer.

If it's cracked, go back and try again. It must not be worse than the previous pointer.

Dong Yong said that one wall of old Liu Xiucai's private school was covered with long and short pointers of all kinds.

There are bamboos, tendon wood, white wax poles...

The most powerful one was the blacksmith's son, who brought a whip made by his father himself.

This whip has been used by the blacksmith's son and grandson, and has been hanging in Liu Xiucai's private school for more than 20 years!

Lu Sheige didn't want to bring a whip with her, and Xiao Wu would continue to use it after she finished using it.

The most important thing is that she wants to solve her literacy problem, not to get beaten.

It doesn't matter whether you are strict or not, the important thing is that you can't hit people.

Hearing Lu Xiuge say that the reason he didn't want to go to Liu Xiucai's place was because he was afraid of being beaten, shopkeeper Li, who had been frustrated many times in the Lu family, couldn't help laughing.

"There is no one who can read and write without being beaten by his teacher."

Maybe he was afraid that Lu Xiaosi would be tired of studying because of his words, so Shopkeeper Li quickly added, "Of course, Mr. Xiaosi is so smart, and he must be too late to even like him, so he won't be willing to fight him."

Lu Xiuge: "..." I believe everything you said.

But Lu Quan liked what Shopkeeper Li said, and Lu Quan smiled and nodded.

As long as someone praises Xiaosi, Lu Quan feels happy all over. This also indirectly proves that he has not wronged Mr. Lu. He has raised his children well, but at least they are not bad.

Shopkeeper Li didn't think there was anything wrong with going to Dong Xiucai's place. Xiaosi refused to go to Qingshan Academy. In his opinion, there was not much difference between choosing Dong Xiucai or Liu Xiucai.

Dong Xiucai is in his early thirties and has been running a private school for several years. His reputation has always been good.

But if you ask him how many young students and scholars his private school has produced, there may be none of them till now.

Jiangjiaba Town is not a small town, and it has a gate. There are many merchants from the south and the north, and there are more foreigners opening shops in Jiangjiaba than in ordinary small places.

But after all, it is a rural town, and it has not produced many scholars in recent years.

Most children go to private schools because their families have some assets. In some farms and shops, they are just sent to learn a few words and learn how to calculate accounts, so that they can inherit the family business when they return.

Whether or not one can obtain fame or not is something that very few people dare to dream about.

"Since you want to go to Dong Xiucai's place, then go to Dong Xiucai's place. Dong Xiucai doesn't have as many rules as Liu Xiucai. Generally speaking, if the children are not very naughty, he will accept them."

Shopkeeper Li took advantage of the situation and gave Lu Xiaosi a few words, "However, it's better not to go for now. We'll see after the autumn harvest. If the rebels..."
