Traveling through a doctor's daughter to marry a virtuous man

225 Chapter 8
"It would cost a lot of money to invite a master to the village. Everyone is a farmer. How many would be willing?" He Chunmei worried.

Lu Ziwan also knew that He Chunmei had nothing to worry about. There were not a few people in the village who thought like He Gao. Everyone felt that it was useless for a countryman to learn calligraphy, and it was a waste of money.

"I'll try and talk. If it doesn't work, let's move to the town." Lu Ziwan pursed her lips and said.

After dinner, Lu Ziwan made a few dumplings as gifts and went to the village chief's house alone. Early in the morning, during the off-season, the village chief was digging the soil in the yard as if he wanted to plant something in the yard. He saw Lu Ziwan coming in , put down the hoe and greeted Lu Ziwan.

"Sister Wan, why did you come to my place so early in the morning?"

"Grandpa Village Chief, why can't I come over to see you if I have nothing to do?" Lu Ziwan said with a smile. I brought some dumplings, thinking that brother Zhu likes them, I will satisfy his hunger."

"He's like a monkey, he can't be quiet for a moment, and after eating, he goes somewhere to play with the baby next door." The village head has long seen that Lu Ziwan brought something in, and he heard it was dumplings. , quite embarrassed, "Why do you bring these precious food again, go in and sit down quickly."

"Yo, Sister Wan is here." The village chief's wife greeted Lu Ziwan with a smile and continued to work in the kitchen.

Lu Ziwan responded, and then put the things in her hands on Table Mountain and said to the village chief, "Grandpa village chief, I have something to talk to you about today."

"What's the matter?" The village chief asked after a moment of silence.

"Village head. There are quite a few children in our village who are as old as my brother Xia. I thought that such a big child should go to the school to learn knowledge from the master. However, our village is far away from the town. My brother I'm still young, and the adults in the town don't feel at ease, so I wonder if it's possible to invite a father and son to our village?"

"You mean you want to send Brother Xia to school?" The old village chief understood the meaning behind his words. He had heard that Lu Ziwan valued her younger brother and wanted to send him to learn knowledge. It's not fake news.

"Yes, but I think there are quite a few brothers in the village who are as old as Pinellia, so it's better for everyone to get together and invite a master back to Hexi Village." Lu Ziwan nodded.

Seeing that the village chief didn't speak, Lu Ziwan explained again, "Knowledge is a big deal. People can only tell right from wrong, understand some truths, and learn a little knowledge. Don't ask my brother to be the number one scholar to become a high official, at least ask us Can my brother not become a thief who steals chickens and dogs in the future and everyone shouts and beats everyone? Learning a few words will also be good for the future. Wherever you go to find a job, everyone will think highly of them when they hear that they can read. This job can also be done Find something easy and rich."

"I understand all the reasons you said, but everyone is also poor. I don't know how many people are willing to pay the money. It is not easy to ask the teacher to go back to the village to teach. First of all, the room and board when the teacher is teaching It’s a big problem, and moreover, everyone cares about the Shuxiu that the master accepts, if there are too few, you won’t be able to invite the master, if there are too many, everyone can’t afford it, and they don’t want to.”

Lu Ziwan pursed her lips. What the village chief said was right. Originally, going to school in this place, especially in the eyes of the rural people, was considered a luxury. I invited my master back, and my master needed food and lodging and needed to be trained. A lot of money.
