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

Chapter 284 Discussion about opening a puppet shop 2
"Village chief, what's the matter with the master?" Lu Ziwan directly brought the topic to invite the master.

"I'm afraid this matter is a bit difficult. I have asked about it. Only two families are willing to contribute a share. In addition, there are only four households including your brother Xia and my brother Zhu. It is impossible for these four families to invite a wife." I'm sorry." The village chief shook his head regretfully.

"A few days ago, I also went to the county to ask someone to ask. The master was invited to the village. There are two ways of money. One is three taels of silver a month, and it is given to a house without rice. , and another is that in February, February, and January, the master’s three meals and rations will be covered.” The village chief paused, “The house here is not a problem, but the house in the school is not a problem. I still have an old house that is vacant. Let’s do it, it’s still liveable after repairing.”

"For four families, it means that you have to pay more than 700 Wen a month, which is a bit expensive." It is nearly a tael of silver, and those who want to send their own children can't afford it. It is twice as expensive as originally expected. .

Lu Ziwan made some calculations in her heart and said, "Village chief, otherwise, the three of you will still be paid three hundred renminbi a month, and the four of us will pay the master's rations together, and my family will pay the rest of the money."

"Didn't your family have to pay nearly two taels of silver that month?" The village chief was startled, and two taels was not as small as two hundred Wen.

"To tell the truth from the village chief, I originally thought that if the village couldn't invite a master, I would send Pinellia to the school in the town. The daily cost of hiring a car to pick it up and so on is no less than two taels of silver. No matter how much, Banxia is still young, so it’s better to pay one or two hundred coins so that Banxia can go to school in the village, he can relax, and my mother and I can rest assured." Lu Ziwan explained, not concealing that she had already calculated before doing it. decision.

Lu He had been listening from the sidelines, and then interrupted, and said to Lu Donglin, "Father, I also want to go to school, and I will be able to read and write like Cousin Ziwan in the future."

The village head touched Sister He's head and smiled, and when he was about to comfort Sister He, he heard Lu Donglin say, "Since Sister He wants to learn, then follow Brother Xia to learn, regardless of our family Will there be a brother in the future, it’s good for Sister He to learn Chinese characters first.”

When Lu He heard this, he danced happily, and Lu Donglin said to the village chief, "My family's sister He is also included in the money for asking the master, and we should pay the same amount as our family."

The village chief opened his eyes wide in astonishment, thinking to himself, this sister who loves the Lu family is really a special case in this Hexi village. First, Lu Dongming hugged sister Wan all day like a baby, and now it is Lu Donglin who wants to pay for her. Sister He goes to school!

Lu Ziwan hooked her lips into a smile, but Lu Donglin was very similar to Lu Dongming in this respect, she didn't favor boys over girls, and loved her children very much.

"Okay, then your family will also contribute three hundred Wen, and it will also save a sum of money for Sister Wan's family." The old village head smiled and touched his goatee and sighed with a smile on his face, "If parents in our village I think it's great that you are so enlightened, Donglin, everyone can read and learn the truth, and our village will become the most literary village. I hope that in the future, when someone hears that they are from our Hexi Village, they will be able to say, Oh, then you must be literate!"

Lu Ziwan and the others chuckled, but Lu Ziwan knew that the village chief's wish was unlikely to come true. There were always so many farmers who admired those who could read and write, but at the same time felt that their own family members who could read and write were useless and would be better off than their elders. Do farm work honestly and save money to marry a wife in the future.
