The convoy arrived safely at the stationery factory in the evening. After a busy trip, Qin Yao entered the house after it was completely dark.
What greeted Qin Yao were four children who were already very sleepy but still lying in the main room waiting, and Awang who had prepared a midnight snack.
“Aniang!”
“Aunt Yao!”
When the four brothers and sisters saw her, they immediately became energetic and ran out happily, surrounding Qin Yao. The older one put her luggage for her, while the younger one helped her scoop water to wash her hands.
Qin Yao washed her hands, shook off the water drops on her hands, and touched her head one by one, "Has the school started yet?"
The four brothers and sister nodded.
"That, that." Seeing Qin Yao's expression becoming more and more impatient, Liu Fa took a deep breath and gave up, "Manager Qin, we want to ask you, are the literacy classes in the factory still being held? All the children at home are waiting to go to school. ”
Liu Facai was full of surprise, as if he didn't expect Qin Yao to speak for Liu Ji, but then he thought about it, the couple were naturally closer than outsiders like them.
The corner of Awang's mouth twitched obviously. He turned around to face Qin Yao and lowered his eyes and replied: "The gate of the county city is open. The master has gone back to the county academy. He just left yesterday."
"Is it really not going to be done? What will happen to the children? It doesn't make sense to suddenly stop doing it after collecting the money." At this point, Liu Fa stopped on purpose and did not continue.
Liu Facai laughed and said, "You little girl, you are referring to your uncle!"
But what about the children in the village?
However, Liu Ji did not stop because of this. The city gate opened and he immediately went back to the academy.
Liu Fa was suddenly called upon by name. Before he was ready, he was pushed in front of Qin Yao by fellow villagers.
"By the way, those children from other villages in the literacy class haven't come back, have they?" Qin Yao wanted to know if Liu Ji had handled the matter thoroughly, so as not to leave any tail for her.
The next day after returning home, it was early in the morning, while Qin Yao was still catching up on her sleep, when the courtyard door was knocked.
“Who are you talking about? Are you talking about my third aunt?!”
Qin Yao raised her eyebrows and remembered to take the merit test, which is good.
Qin Yao patted the baggage on her waist and expressed regret to Awang that she had no chance to use it.
You can learn arithmetic and read and write for just five cents. There is nothing more affordable than this.
Before returning to the academy, Liu Ji had already rejected the villagers for fear that Qin Yao would come back and say that he had not handled the matter well.
Qiu has a gentle temperament, and the little girl knows who to look for.
She opened the courtyard door with a sullen face. When several villagers in front of the door saw her glance at her coldly, their hearts skipped a beat. They were a little frightened. The words that came to her mouth were stuck in their throats, and they could not speak for a long time.
The helpless responses of "Oh~" came from the four people in the room.
Others told him to keep his voice down. Someone in his family was working in a stationery factory. Liu Fa became even more enthusiastic. When he walked to the village well, he saw a bunch of children and said in a weird voice:
“Don't come out!” She pointed at the door and warned with a smile.
Qin Yao breathed a sigh of relief. It's not like they haven't seen each other for hundreds of years, so he was a little too enthusiastic.
I heard in the stationery factory that there will be a second and third phase in the future, so that those who have studied will teach those who have not.
But the meaning is obvious. You can't just collect money and not do the work. If you don't do the work, you will refund the money.
Having seen Liu Li as a scholar, he now had an idea in his mind to pass the exam.
Having said this, he paused for a moment and saw Qin Yao looking over before continuing:
“The literacy class in the factory has been running for half a month, but it has now ended.”
If the mountain of obtaining merit and fame had not been weighing on his head, Liu Ji would have stayed. It's not a bad thing to be a teacher. There are twenty or thirty children in the village, and if one person receives ten cash a month, he can have two to three hundred cash.
Qin Yao asked curiously: "How effective is the literacy class?"
You can no longer find a class that costs only five cents.
Jinhua in the crowd stood up on the big stone, pointed at his nose and asked loudly.
“I only know how to play in the mud, but I don't know that you, my mother, are so humble as to beg someone else's chief manager just because you can study. You are not sensible at all!”
Looking back as he ran, he saw Liu Fa and didn't dare to follow him. He made a face at him. Still feeling that it was not enough, he rushed into the stationery factory and complained to his uncle's wife, saying that Liu Fa had bullied her.
Awang shook his head, but said, "Many villagers have come over recently and asked when you will come back. The younger ones asked if they had anything to do, but they all said no, and then left. They should be here for the literacy class."
When he arrived at the main room, Awang had already laid out the supper and was standing by the door, as if he was waiting for her to finish eating and then call it a day.
Qin Yao took a deep breath, rubbed her swollen temples and asked, "Liu Facai, what do you want to do?"
So some people are thinking of letting the factory continue to open literacy classes. They don't want to get any honors or anything, but just want to lay a foundation for the children so that they can go to the town schools to compete for free admission places next year.
Jinhua puffed up her cheeks, picked up the mud **** on the ground and threw them on him. After smashing them, she turned around and ran towards the stationery factory.
But everyone knows that he may not have the final say in this family. No, he is waiting for Qin Yao to come back and wants to beg her again.
Sit down at the dining table, take a sip of the fragrant noodle soup, and ask while eating: "Where is your handsome, handsome and elegant gentleman?"
It was originally a literacy class organized by the factory for workers. For the sake of the village chief, the children in the village were allowed to join the class and learn it for half a month. Although they paid for it, the five cents was not enough for her. If you want to free up space, take it away as soon as possible. It's almost done. You can't take advantage of it!
Looking at Qin Yao's cold face, Liu Facai didn't dare to say anything more, so he called several other villagers and left angrily.
Liu Facai smiled coquettishly and said, "Don't you all know that you are the one who makes the decision at home?" It was a bit flattering, thinking that Qin Yao liked to hear such flattery.
Little did he know that when Liu Ji was beaten and scolded at home, it was at home. When facing outsiders, Qin Yao had always maintained a consistent external strategy.
“Then go to bed quickly, you won't be able to get up tomorrow morning.” Qin Yao immediately pushed the four siblings into the children's room ruthlessly and closed the door.
“Didn't Liu Ji make it clear to you before he left?” Qin Yao asked in displeasure.
Before they enjoyed it, the villagers did not dare to think about these things, but after attending the literacy class for half a month, they suddenly stopped and felt that they were still not finished.
A Wang sent the children to school. The house was quiet and it was a good time to go back to sleep. Qin Yao was suddenly woken up. It was hard for Qin Yao to feel good about it.
He didn't say it clearly, so Qin Yao pretended not to understand, "You have to figure out what to do with your children. It's none of my business. They're not my children."
Awang lowered his head and said, "Madam."
But he was unhappy in his heart. He heard angrily from afar in the village: "What's the big deal? It's not like we didn't give you money. Look at her, she really treats herself like a vegetable!"
“He is the Master, he has the final say.”
Awang answered truthfully: "It's OK. I've taught some basic arithmetic and learned a hundred Chinese characters. Knowing that the master is going back to the academy, everyone is very reluctant to leave. I hope the literacy class can continue."
Before leaving, he took away all the books at home, saying that he was going to study in seclusion, and asked Awang to drive to the county to pick him up the next time he took a break.
For this reason, everyone is willing to continue to pay five cents and half a month's tuition.
What a pity, after going out to see a bigger world, he is now determined to go out!
He immediately picked up the big spatula and killed him. Liu Fa was so frightened that he hurriedly ran home.
He sneered and spat at Liu Facai's back, "Bah! What the hell!"
Qin Yao witnessed the whole process on the dam in front of her home and laughed out loud with joy. My sister-in-law is so powerful!
