The couple in the last days traveled to ancient times, farming and storing grain and meat in the war

"Why are you kowtowing? Go and call all our clan members and the clan leader. I have something to say to them." The head of the village did not ask him to kowtow, but spoke directly to his eldest son.

"Hey, hey." The eldest son wiped his eyes and left with a smile.

Wait until the village head and all the clan members arrive.

The village head also advised the clan members that if their families were able to do so, they should send their daughters to school.

Naturally, everyone in the clan also said, "Even if we don't want to pay the tuition, it still costs a lot of money. Why spend so much money on a girl? After all, she will get married and become someone else's family."

The village head naturally couldn't scold his clan members as he did his family members, so he spoke to them in a nice tone.

There are many people in the tribe, and when there are many people, they are mixed and have different thoughts.

Once people's minds are not united, and they are interrupted by those who are unwilling to do so, they will naturally become even more divided, and no one will be willing to do it.

The village head looked at the patriarch of their tribe.

The clan leader looked embarrassed: "Logically speaking, since you are the head of the village, you must be more knowledgeable than us. We should listen to you, and the clan will be better off.

But it is too absurd to let girls study, and we really don’t see any benefit from it.

What's more, as you said, Mr. Xiao also supports it, but he is just a scholar after all. Even if he ranks first, he may not necessarily be able to pass the imperial examination.

Maybe this isn’t a good thing.”

The headman was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

After a while, he said, "Jiang girl and Xiao Yan are both far-sighted. Everything is a good thing! It's a great thing!

Okay, since you're using the fact that he's just a scholar as an excuse, then let's put it this way. The results of the provincial examination are coming out soon. If Xiao Yan really passes the exam and becomes a juren, you'll all listen to me. If you're able, send your daughters to study!"

Really, if this person wasn't from his tribe, he wouldn't want to care about it.

But precisely because of this, we must pay more attention to it.

We can't have every generation of our clan being farmers without any foresight. This way, the clan will only get worse and worse, with no one having a future.

And if they just work alone, they won't achieve anything great. They need the whole clan to achieve success together.

The patriarch did not speak immediately, but looked at the people in the tribe.

The people in the tribe looked at each other.

Then, they all nodded and said, "Alright! If he passes the imperial examination, we will naturally be even more impressed by him. Although our county has had juren, we haven't heard of anyone else passing the imperial examination in the past fifteen years. If he can pass the imperial examination, not only will we consider his support a good thing, but even his farts will be considered fragrant!"

"Okay!" The village head was too lazy to waste time talking to these tribesmen. Sometimes, when words really couldn't make sense, they had to rely on reality to slap them in the face. "Just remember what you said today."

……

Jiang Ningning naturally told her grandmother and uncle about Jiang Xiao Academy.

Sun Wansong originally wanted to let Sun Shifei study, but his wife scolded him:

“Although Hongxiu is a girl, since she is under 18 and can go to school, why not let her go?

Ningning specifically sent someone to tell her that she didn't want any money, as long as she could go. It didn't matter whether she stayed in her new house or the old house.

You are a man, Ningning, you are helping our family and thinking about our future, don’t you know that? Even an old woman like me can understand this, can’t you? "

Sun Wansong said, "It's not that I can't figure it out, it's that she has to stay at home to do the laundry and cooking. Besides, she's already engaged, and who knows when her in-laws will come and ask to marry her off."

"She doesn't need to do the laundry or cooking. I can do it myself." Old Lady Sun said immediately.

As long as her grandchildren are well, she doesn't care what happens to them. Isn't the purpose of life to think about future generations?

He also said: "If her in-laws come, we will tell them that she has gone to school and can only get married at the age of 18. She cannot get married now anyway.

If she could read, it would be beneficial to her husband's family when she married in. She could also teach their children some words.

If my husband's family doesn't understand, let them cancel the engagement. We're not afraid."

In the past, Old Lady Sun would not have had this confidence.

But isn’t it different now?

Her granddaughter looked promising, so she wasn't worried that her granddaughter's engagement would be broken off and she wouldn't be able to find a good husband.

"Yes, that's possible. But you're so old, mom. How can I let you do the laundry and cook? I have to be busy with farm work every day." Sun Wansong still didn't want Sun Hongxiu to go to school.

Old Lady Sun also knew that her son was worried about her, so she said, "How about this, I'll find you a wife."

"Ah?" Sun Wansong was stunned. "Isn't this bad?" It had only been a short time since he divorced his wife.

Although Qin was dead and his feelings for her had worn off over the years, he still felt something was wrong.

"What's wrong with that? It's not like you've done anything to offend Qin. No one would say anything if you remarried right away!" Old Lady Sun said. "Besides, if you marry a wife, are you still worried that no one will take care of me?"

"That's not what I meant. I just don't want to get married again for the time being. I'm also afraid that the new wife won't treat Hongxiu and Shifei well in the end, so let's forget it.

Mother, if you really want Hongxiu to go to school, then we can hire someone in the village to do our laundry and cooking every day, and we will just pay the wages."

Old Lady Sun was also worried that her son's new wife would treat her grandchildren badly, so she naturally backed off a step. "That's fine. After all, we haven't touched a penny of the fifty taels your sister's family gave us, so we can afford it."

The next day, Sun Wansong brought his daughter Sun Hongxiu and son Sun Shifei to the Jiang Xiao School in Zaoshu Village to register.

All the children of the Xiao family aged six to eighteen, both boys and girls, have signed up.

However, Sun Wansong refused to let his daughter and son live in Jiang Ningning's new house, and was only willing to borrow Jiang Ningning's old house.

Jiang Ningning and the others couldn't persuade Sun Wansong, and Sun Hongxiu and Sun Shifei listened to their father Sun Wansong very much. So Jiang Ningning and the others had no choice but to let Sun Hongxiu and Sun Shifei stay in the old house.

Sun Wansong also hired someone in Zaoshu Village to do laundry and cook for Sun Hongxiu and Sun Shifei every day.

Since you have let your children study, let them study well and don’t worry about these things.

In the village, including the village chief's family, more than 20 households have registered their children, but they are all boys, not girls.

Many people from other villages within ten miles also came to register their children, and they were all boys, no girls.

People from all over the village were very excited. Even those whose families could not yet afford to send their children to school had hope and were very happy.

After all, they now have a school to go to, and it is not as expensive as other schools. They are all working hard and plan to send their children to school when they have saved enough money in the future.

In the morning, Xiao Yan had to go back to the academy to study military strategy with Mr. Wu Ji Wei. In the afternoon, Xiao Yan naturally came back and came to the school with Jiang Ningning.
