The young man suddenly blushed with embarrassment!
Others did not dare to question Qiao Lan's words anymore, for fear that they would be found guilty of something wrong and be severely criticized by Qiao Lan in front of everyone.
Qiao Lan felt that it was the first day of class and she needed to be more tolerant to the new students.
Then he softened his expression and said: "This is the first day for you to give grades. Don't take it to heart. You may get grades every day in the future. As long as there is progress, it is good. I am a teacher who is happy. The results will be sent home. You guys
The elders are also happy to see it."
Although the words were meant to comfort them, they sounded like they were stabbing them in the heart mercilessly.
There is no other way but to accept them.
They were all selected by the family. If they went back now, they would be scolded by the family leader. What is more worrying is that they will not be reused by the family leader in this life.
I can only grit my teeth and persevere!
The afternoon class was much simpler than the morning class, and the wheat was still drying in the sun.
They had to wait until they were dried in the sun before removing the stalks and shells. During their free time, the steward took them to stroll around the village to see what was grown in the ten thousand acres of land, and by the way, they became familiar with the work they would do in the future.
!
The steward introduced the crops as he walked. Because of the long distance, even if it took him an entire afternoon, he could not finish introducing the crops on the farm.
There was no rush in introducing the current affairs. The old lady said that the days were long and we should not overwork these students, so we dismissed them from get out of class and let them go back to rest.
After a day of physical labor, everyone was soaked with sweat and in a state of embarrassment. Those wearing cloth were better off, but those wearing silk were far worse. The sweat had all the silk stuck to their backs. Not only could they be described as disheveled,
It's simply miserable.
After sending a group of students back to the school building, the steward spoke enthusiastically: "The cafeteria is about to open for dinner! You guys should go to bed early after dinner. You still need to get up early for class tomorrow morning!"
"Would you like to get up early to cut the rye?"
The butler shook his head, "No need to cut the rye!"
There are only about twenty acres of rye land, and there are many farmers on the farm, so it can be harvested in two days.
Hearing that there was no need to cut the wheat, many people had sincere smiles on their faces!
"Collect cotton tomorrow!" the steward suggested.
Everyone’s smiles were frozen on their faces!
Why do you still have to do farm work!!!
-
It was a coincidence that these dozen people came, it happened to be the autumn harvest season, and Qiao Lan was not polite and took them to experience the joy of the autumn harvest.
From morning to night, four hours a day, not even one hour less.
Even though the group was prepared to endure hardship, they could not withstand such torture, so they all decided to start working as laziness.
Everything has a price, including laziness.
Those lazy students looked at the low scores on the board the next day and almost cried on the spot! Why did they get so many points deducted for being lazy?
This needs to be sent back to the owner to see!
If there is a huge gap between him and other people's sons, he will definitely be held accountable by the head of the family.
For a while, the lazy person was thinking about the score and did not dare to take any action.
Until the tenth day, the paper on the board was changed to another one.
The steward also brought them good news.
There are two days of meditation every ten days so that they can go home and take a look. It is a good thing to rest. But they have learned nothing but farm work after coming here for ten days. How should they explain it when they go back?
There was a holiday, and everyone didn't go home, so they could only rest in the school dormitory.
However, there is more sad news than that.
"Is the cafeteria closed?" asked a student who got up early in the morning and was going to have breakfast in the cafeteria.
Although the food in the cafeteria is no longer the same as the first day, with three meat dishes per meal, you can still eat one meat dish a day. Other vegetarian dishes and pickles are also good.
The steward hurried over and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Mu Xiu, the cook in the cafeteria has also gone back to rest these past two days! If you don't mind, I will go find the farmers in the village next to you to cook for you.
!”
A group of students thought that having food to eat was better than having no food to eat, so they waited for the steward to call the farmer over.
After a while, a bucket of bean soup in a dark wooden barrel and a basket of dry and hard multigrain steamed cakes were placed in front of everyone.
A group of people stared at the contents of the bowl for a long time, but no one dared to move.
"The farmers only have so much food at home, so you can make do with it," the steward reassured.
It's not so make-do food.
A student drank a spoonful of soybean soup. After entering the mouth, he felt it was bland, so he frowned and asked, "Is there no salt in this soup?"
The person who delivered the meal was a woman in her twenties, carrying a child on her back. After hearing what the student said, she quickly explained: "Sir, if you add salt, add a big spoon!"
Only one spoonful of salt is added to such a big bucket of soup. How can it be enough?
The student wanted to complain when he saw this, but the steward standing in front never spoke.
"This... is not to my liking, is there anything else to eat?" the student asked.
The steward shook his head and said, "No more. This is all the people in Zhuangzi eat now."
Before the old lady came, the surrounding villages only had bean soup for every meal and no dry food was available. But after the old lady came and grain production increased, many families were able to eat dry food every meal.
Another person thought: "Aren't there a lot of chickens on Zhuangzi? We even helped collect some fruits a few days ago! Can the steward help us get some eggs and fruits? The eggs can be eaten after being boiled!"
The steward refused them solemnly: "The products produced by Zhuangzi are all the private property of the old lady and cannot be used at will. You need to ask the old lady before I can give it to you."
"We have money, can we buy it?"
The steward shook his head again: "This transaction requires the consent of the old lady and cannot be sold privately!"
"Then the teacher isn't here today!"
Since teaching this group of students, Qiao Lan went home every few days to once every ten days. However, she always set off on the afternoon of the tenth day, so she could go home and take two full days off.
It is the prerogative of the teacher.
Several people were feeling hungry and anxious.
"You don't need to worry. I will send someone to the city to ask questions later. I believe I will receive a reply from the old lady tomorrow." The steward said calmly.
As for whether these men would starve, it was completely beyond his concern.
The old lady said, they are here to endure hardship, not to enjoy themselves!
Everyone had no choice but to hold their noses and drink.
This word only reached Qiao Lan at night.
Qiao Lan was stunned after eating the exquisite dishes prepared at home.
If you don't go home for the holidays, why are you staying in the village?
The conditions in Zhuangzi are not that good, and you still have to work all day long. You can’t possibly like farm work, right?
Qiao Lan figured out the key point in a moment. Maybe they didn't learn the art of breeding, so none of them dared to go home.
It is late autumn and there is no farming, what can she do?
