A retired aunt traveled through time and space, and her daughter became rich!
Chapter 128 Another wave of happiness
After Su Zhongjia solved the problem of his family's registration, he gulped down half a bowl of tea and walked out.
She came to a village not far from the manor.
There are about twenty households in this village, all of whom are tenants of Su's village.
Before, each family lived in a low adobe house with a yard surrounded by mud walls and fences.
Almost every family is poor.
It's just that in the past few months, the old lady has been living in the farm, building a new farmyard and running a workshop. Some families have more labor, so the men go to build houses and the women do handicrafts. The whole family can earn twenty or thirty taels of silver a month.
Now that I have money in hand, the most important thing I want to do is to build a new house.
If one only builds a one-story brick and stone house and then surrounds a large yard with bricks and stones, the total cost would be about thirty taels of silver. If the stones were mined by farmers themselves in the mountains and carried back, the cost would be even less.
The first family built a new house, and several others followed suit. As a result, there are now a few families in this poor village who are obviously living well.
Su Zhong's family first went to a family that had some influence in the village, and then asked this family to notify other families in the village.
In short, as long as the matter has been said and the message has been conveyed, it depends on how each family considers it.
The village head's wife passed the message, and everyone in the village, as long as there were people, would come quickly.
Before long, more than twenty women had gathered in the small courtyard.
Su Zhongjia conveyed the old lady's meaning.
"The old lady is kind-hearted. She just wants the children in our village not to be blind. Therefore, whoever wants to come to the class can come and study. There is no restriction. If you learn well and can get a top score in the exam, you can get a reward."
"The boys are in one class, and the girls are in another class. There's no need to worry about them getting in the same class and causing trouble!"
"The classes start in the evening after dinner. If the adults are worried, they can pick up and drop off the children themselves, or teach the children to go to and from school together."
"I've told everyone now, go back and discuss it with your family members. If you want to join, come to the old farm tomorrow and find me to sign up!"
Su Zhongjia passed on the message, answered a few questions, and then waved his hand, "Everyone, discuss it among yourselves. I still have work to do in the farm, so I'll be leaving first!"
As soon as Su Zhongjia left, the women in the yard were in an uproar.
"Thanks to Su Xian's blessing and the old lady, my three children can now learn to read!"
"My two boys are not even fifteen years old yet. Our family earned a few more taels of silver a while ago, so their father was thinking about sending them to school. But our village is too small, and there is no private school. There is a school at my mother's side, and the tuition fee is two taels of silver a year. I originally wanted to let Dalang go there to study, and live in his grandmother's house, but my two sisters-in-law were so angry that they refused to agree! I was thinking about giving them a few taels of silver as food money. Who knew that now we can learn to read without spending money here! Hahaha, I don't have to look at the faces of my two sisters-in-law!"
"That's right. My husband and I also want to send our child to his third brother's village to go to school, but his third brother's wife asked us to pay eight taels of silver, not a penny less! Now, she won't take a penny of the eight taels of silver!"
"Oh my! The eldest child in my family is the smartest, but unfortunately he has grown too old! From now on, all the brothers and sisters in the family can read, but he is the only one who can't. Isn't he going to feel sad?"
"Hey, Mrs. Bao, you're thinking the wrong way! If his younger brothers and sisters learn well, they can come back and teach the eldest brother, right?"
"Oh, yes! It can be like this! I was just wrong for a moment!"
"What brothers and sisters? Are you planning to teach the girls in your family to read as well?"
"Yeah, since they don't need to pay tuition fees anyway, why not let the girls go?"
"But what's the point of girls learning to read? Wouldn't it delay their work if they learned to read?"
"It's just a class of less than an hour in the evening. How much work can it delay? It's not like anyone is dead at home."
"Yes! Who said that it's useless for maids to know how to read? When we made the tiger head costume, the one who was in charge of accounting and paying the money, the capable lady in front of the old lady, couldn't she read and do accounting?"
"That can only be useful in front of the old lady. For girls from ordinary farm families like us, when we grow up, we will find a husband and marry him. If we can read and do accounts, will the husband's family have words for her to learn and accounts for her to do?"
The person who said this was obviously stubborn and dull. He was determined not to let his daughter go to literacy class.
Most of the women present naturally disagreed with this man, but each family minded their own business and were too lazy to say anything more to such a jerk.
After all, it would not be cost-effective to pay extra money to teach the girls to read.
But now it’s completely free and there are even rewards, right?
Didn’t you see that the old lady specifically asked the village head’s wife to pass on the message, making it clear that there would be two classes, one for boys and one for girls?
As for Aunt Su, since she has already announced that she is going to organize a literacy class, we have to get ready for everything.
First is the venue for the literacy class.
Since boys and girls are separated, they should be separated completely.
Just clear out a gatehouse in the new and old courtyards and put some simple tables and stools in them.
Pens, ink, paper and other things are easy to get. Just ask the carriage that goes to the city every day to bring them back.
They are all little kids who have just learned to read, so they don’t need good paper. Just buy some yellow-edged paper, cut it into small pieces, and bind them together, and it will become a small notebook.
As for pens and ink, there is no need for brushes and ink sticks. Just prepare some charcoal pencils for the children, which is both convenient and economical.
As for the teachers, Aunt Su selected two women, one old and one young, from her servants.
In fact, it is better to use a male teacher to teach boys.
Most of the companions of Old Lady Su could read and write, but there were only three or four men who were good enough to teach the children.
However, each of these three or four people has work to do, such as Manager Gao in the boutique shop, village head Su Zhong, and the coachman Qian Laosan who is currently on a long errand.
However, there are seven or eight women who can read and do accounting.
For example, Aunt Jiao, Bihe, Sumei and others.
Bihe was a traitor and has been driven away, and Aunt Jiao is also on a business trip and has not returned yet.
The ones chosen by Aunt Su were Su Mei and another nanny named Bao.
Since they are given extra work, there will naturally be extra subsidies.
Aunt Su handed them the prepared teaching materials and asked them to prepare in advance.
I also made a set of classroom disciplines and explained them to my two future teachers.
It is true that having money and people means less worries. Aunt Su had an idea, and the literacy class was started on the third day.
In the evening, Aunt Su took people to inspect two literacy classes.
Seeing the children, all dressed neatly, regardless of how they were dressed, sitting upright in the classroom with several lights on, and reciting the words obediently following the teacher at the podium, Aunt Su could not help but nod secretly.
Regardless of the children's abilities, their attitude towards learning is quite positive.
There were also several parents wandering outside the literacy class.
Some of these parents have to pick up and drop off their children because their children are too young.
Some are just out of pure curiosity and want to come and listen to what is taught in this literacy class.
However, these parents knew their limits. The men only watched at the old farmyard, while those waiting at the gate of the new farmyard were all the women and wives.
More than half an hour passed quickly.
Seeing children of all ages walking out of the side door of the village, parents came forward to take their children away.
Su Zhong's family lives in the old manor, so they don't have to walk anymore.
As soon as his children, Da Miao, Er Miao, San Miao, Er Gou and San Gou, came back, the adults in Su Zhong's family called all the children over.
"What did you learn today?"
"The teacher taught us the classroom rules!"
“And then I learned two words!”
"People and mouths!"
"A stroke of the left and right hand represents a person, and a circle on paper represents a mouth..."
The children were answering one after another, their little faces were rosy and their eyes were sparkling.
It was obvious that the children were very excited to go to school for the first time.
Similar questions and answers occurred in each tenant's home.
"Look, Dad, these are the charcoal pencils and notebooks that the teacher gave us!"
"There are words written by me in the notebook!"
"Sanniu, your handwriting is worse than your sister's! You must not have paid attention in class!"
"Well, we are not in the same class, so how can we compare with each other? Baosheng in our class writes worse than me!"
"Wow! Look at my Goudan. He can write so well on his first day at school! He might even be able to get top honors in the exam in the future!"
"Are these charcoal pencils and notebooks given to everyone? Do they cost money?"
"The gentleman said it's free, but he asked everyone to take good care of it. If you break it, you'll have to buy a new one yourself."
"Ah! I should have asked your elder sister and younger sister to go too. I gave them pens and notebooks so you can use them!"
Aunt Su, who was having a video call with her daughter, suddenly stopped talking. She looked like she had been acupunctured, but her eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Mom? Mom? What's wrong with you?"
"Is there something wrong with the network? But this isn't a communication network. What should I do?"
Su Juanjuan was scratching her head anxiously on the other end.
It took a minute for Aunt Su to recover.
The smile on his face couldn't be suppressed.
"Hey, my happiness level has increased again!"
Just now, that wonderful system voice rang in her mind.
"Beep! Your happiness value has increased by 50*63, a total of 3150."
Aunt Su couldn't stop smiling.
"It's increased again! These happiness points must have been given to me by the children and parents who come to school!"
"It seems that I am doing the right thing in education!"
Only then did Su Juanjuan feel relieved.
"Mom, I think the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Why don't you do some entertainment on the farm during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Speaking of entertainment, Su Juanjuan thought of Aunt Su's drone that she couldn't use whenever she wanted.
"Mom, your happiness level has increased now, why don't you try and see if you can pass on the solar charger?"
Su Juanjuan took out the solar charger and the drone’s built-in charger.
Sure enough, it succeeded this time.
However, the happiness value that Aunt Su had accumulated with great difficulty has returned to the level before liberation.
"It's okay, Mom. The happiness will come back even if it's gone!"
"Now you have a constant supply of electricity! You can play with the drone more."
"I have saved a lot of photos and videos in the drone's card and categorized them."
"If you want to classify them, there are animals, plants and landscapes, as well as myths and horror stories."
"Mom, these things can be projected. You can even show an aerial movie for the people in the village. Of course, I'm talking about the technology! I'm not saying you can really do it..."
After Su Juanjuan sent the drone to her mother last time, she placed an order for one for herself.
She even specially bought the same model so that she could use it more often and share any experiences and tips with her mother.
Aunt Su was happy and moved when she heard this.
"Heiya, you are still my own daughter!"
This is my own daughter. If it was someone else who was communicating with them, they would definitely be scheming against each other and defrauding each other!
"Don't be too touched, Mom...if you have something delicious over there, just feed me some from time to time!"
Now that Su Juanjuan has become wealthy, she is not that surprised when Aunt Su sends her valuable things. Instead, these foods are really tempting.
The spring water fish soup that day was so delicious it could make your eyebrows drop!
Even when I went to sleep that night, I felt particularly sweet and satisfied.
Aunt Su shook her head. "This girl is now obsessed with eating and drinking!"
With this happiness value, wouldn’t it be better to pass on something more valuable?
However, Aunt Su put herself in the other person's shoes and thought that if she were in their shoes, she would probably choose to eat and drink.
After the call, Aunt Su fiddled with the solar charger for a while and roughly understood how to use it.
She planned to turn on the charger every morning and place it on the table in front of the window.
If you open the window, wouldn't it be possible to expose the solar panel to sunlight?
This way, she didn't have to worry about someone stealing it. Secondly, she had already made the servants develop the habit of not entering her bedroom without being asked. This way, she didn't have to worry about someone thinking too much about this strange object.
Putting down the solar charger, Aunt Su turned on the drone again.
"Heiya said she saved a lot of photos and videos? Let me take a look first."
Turn on the drone and find the local memory card in the menu.
When I opened it, I saw two major categories: photos and videos.
I clicked on the photo again, and wow, there were indeed the categories that Hei Ya mentioned, and it seemed that Hei Ya said there were too few.
In addition to natural scenery, animals and plants, there is also a CG picture.
The natural scenery includes snow-capped mountains, deserts, big rivers, oceans and islands.
In the category of animals and plants, Heiya probably made some careful selection, and all the animals and plants he picked were rare and unique.
CG images are even more bizarre.
For example, the vortex of volcanic magma erupting, the sea surface covered by a tornado, lightning striking a dead tree, and a thick beam of light piercing the sky like a magic sword...
Aunt Su nodded with satisfaction.
