A car accident, our family of three crossed

"Aning, don't underestimate yourself. You can do it." Hang Shuheng looked at her with affirmation in his eyes.

The old clan leader and the village head also looked at her with affirmation and placed high hopes on her.

Song Ning was stared at by three pairs of eyes. She didn't know what to say. She had no choice but to agree, but she had to have some specific plans.

Hang Shuheng said, "Since we are going to run a village school, we can't be careless. It's definitely not enough for the teacher to have only Aning. I have some ideas, you two might as well listen to them."

"Shuheng, go ahead."

After receiving the promise, Hang Shuheng continued, "A school should not only teach literacy. I think it can be more comprehensive and offer different fields. Children can choose according to their own interests. Not everyone needs to learn to read and write in order to take the imperial examination. The imperial examination is a difficult path that not ordinary people can endure."

Some people cannot even pass the examination to become a Tongsheng in their entire life, so there is a sarcastic saying among the people: Always taking the Tongsheng examination, always taking the Tongsheng examination, and taking the Tongsheng examination until old.

"But isn't the purpose of studying to take the imperial examination?" The head of the village was a little confused. If it was not for the imperial examination, what was the point of poor families tightening their belts to send their children to study in the academy.

"Uncle, you are mistaken. The imperial examination is just one of the paths that one can take in studying, but it is not the only way out." Hang Shuheng smiled and continued, "There are so many scholars in the world, but how many of them can finally pass the examination and become an official?"

Hang Shuheng's words made the head of the village fall into deep thought. When he was young, he also took the path of imperial examination, but after taking the exam for many years, he failed even to pass the examination for a student. In the end, he had to give up that idea and stay in the village. He became the head of the village because he had received education.

The old patriarch stroked his beard and nodded, "Shuheng, what you said makes sense, please continue."

Hang Shuheng: "It is impossible for all children in the village to love reading. Some children are tougher and may like to learn some martial arts, which caters to your idea of ​​opening a martial arts troupe. Some children may like arithmetic. After learning arithmetic, they can become a manager or even an accountant in the future, which is a good way out. All of these can be taught in the school."

"In addition, there are girls in the village. We can ask a teacher to teach them some essential skills for women, such as needlework, sewing, etc...."

Before Hang Shuheng finished his last sentence, the head of the village, who was originally a little excited, asked in surprise: "What, girls also have to go to school?"

As soon as these words were spoken, he immediately felt that something was wrong. They were just about to invite Song Ning, a female teacher, but the sudden reaction to a little girl going to school was so big. Isn't this contradictory?

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Song Ning smiled and teased, "What's wrong with a little girl? Uncle, don't you still want to invite me to be your teacher? You can hire a female teacher, but why can't little girls go to school?"

After saying this, she pretended to be angry and continued, "I've made it clear in advance! If the village doesn't agree to let girls go to school, then I won't be a female teacher anymore."

"Hey! No, weird uncle, weird uncle." The head of the village could see that she was joking, but he still apologized, "Shuheng's wife, uncle didn't mean that. Uncle naturally won't object to girls going to school. If they can go to school, learn to read and recognize words, and learn a skill, that's a good thing."

Even if he really meant it, he didn't dare to say it in front of Song Ning. He sighed, "I'm afraid their parents don't want to send them to school!"

Song Ning thought about it and it was true. When girls grow up, they can help with a lot of things at home. If they are sent to school, there will be no one to do many things at home.

Some short-sighted families think that baby girls are a loss of money, so naturally they are unwilling to send their children to school.

"It's too far to talk about these things now. I think we should finalize the school matters first, and then talk about other things." The old patriarch said at the right time.

"Uncle is right." The village head nodded in agreement. "I was just excited at the moment and wanted to talk to someone. Well, tomorrow I will go door to door to collect opinions from everyone in the village."

The matter of setting up a school has not even started yet! It is too early to discuss other issues now. Before they are implemented, everything is just empty talk.

"It's right for the village head to worry about it. It's his duty to have ideas and plans." Hang Shuheng turned his head and looked at Song Ning, then looked at the village head. "The village wants to run a school, but we can't help much in terms of manpower. Once this is implemented, my family is willing to donate 100 taels of silver to the school."

"Shuheng, is what you said true?" The village head was a little incredulous. "That's one hundred taels, not just a few taels. Can you donate it just like that?"

"It's a good thing and a big thing for the village to set up a school. We should also contribute to it."

Everyone knew that Hang Shuheng was successful now and his family had no shortage of money, but the head of the village still found it hard to believe that he donated one hundred taels without even blinking an eye.

When the old patriarch heard Hang Shuheng say he would donate one hundred taels, his heart was bleeding for the couple, but at the same time, his sense of pride doubled. This was the young man of his Hang family, and he was generous in doing things.

When he saw the head of the village with an expression of disbelief on his face, the old patriarch's sense of pride reached its peak.

"Okay, since it's the intention of Shuheng and his wife, just accept it!"

Just as he had digested the 100 taels of silver in his heart, he heard the old clan leader say this and the village head stopped being polite with them. "In that case, then uncle would like to thank you on behalf of the village."

On that day, the old patriarch and the village head stayed at the Hang's house until it was dark and they left. If it wasn't too late, the village head would have gone straight to the village and looked for people door to door to discuss the matter.

However, the next day, the head of the village looked at the time and went door to door to discuss setting up a school, but things did not go so smoothly.

Some people support it, while others oppose it. Those who don't have children at home or whose children are already grown up are not very willing to contribute money and effort.

No one wants to suffer a loss. They don't have children at home, so even if a school is established, they cannot enjoy the convenience of the school. Since they cannot enjoy this convenience, they naturally don't want to get involved.

Whenever the head of the village encounters such a short-sighted family, he feels very disappointed. Your family doesn't have a child now, so is it true that you won't have one in the future? Don't you think about the long-term?
