Zhou Dajiang was very surprised to see that his father-in-law was willing to stay and teach. After all, his father-in-law originally lived in the town, and the environment in the town was better than that in the countryside, and the salary was also higher.

If it were him, he probably wouldn't stay in Qingshangou. He thought his father-in-law chose to stay because his mother-in-law had more processing workshops.

Little did he know that older people preferred places with mountains and rivers. Chen's mother's workshop was one factor, but the place was not only close to the mountains and rivers, but also had friendly villagers. There were occasionally one or two who stood out, but in Chen's opinion, it was still much better than the town. And with his daughter and her family around, life was as comfortable as it could be.

Well, he firmly refused to admit that it was his daughter's good cooking skills that left him the legacy.

Since his father-in-law agreed, Zhou Dajiang said that other problems would not be a problem.

There is no school.

Didn't the old ancestral hall fall down? Go find Village Chief Zhang.

There is no Master.

The teacher is ready, isn't my brother-in-law Chen Mingyuan here? After studying for so many years, it's time for me to come down and earn money to support the family. How can I always rely on my parents and wife for support?

Besides, there's also his daughter, the painting teacher! Just leave your child to her, and she can help you start any art project, not just painting.

The physical education teacher did not.

Then he can do it part-time, and later he will ask his wife to ask his aunt, isn’t her brother-in-law in the escort agency? It shouldn’t be a problem for him to help find a martial arts master, right?

The more Zhou Dajiang thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. "Letting children go to school is a good thing, so we must support it." "Action is worse than thought," he thought. "Let's take the first step: find the village head, Zhang, to help us find housing. Without a school, all this would be just wishful thinking."

Village head Zhang has a good reputation, otherwise he would not have built a new ancestral hall in the first place.

Zhou Dajiang complimented him, saying that Village Chief Zhang had made a great contribution to our village, and that the children coming out of Qingshangou in the future would definitely remember the efforts that Village Chief Grandpa had made for their studies.

Without a teacher, they found one for them; without a school, they even gave up their ancestral hall to serve as a school for them. What a great and selfless devotion! It's no exaggeration to say that they were like their second parents!

Barabara...

Village head Zhang was so moved by these words that he cried and couldn't wait to open the school immediately.

He immediately decided to transform the old ancestral hall into a primary school. He would be responsible for the tables, chairs, and benches, while his nephew Zhou went to find the teacher and Master Wu.

Zhou Dajiang was ecstatic. Did he agree so quickly? He wanted to compliment her a bit more, but it seemed like that was out of the question.

So, he immediately replied, "Well, thank you, Uncle Zhang. On behalf of the children of Qingshangou, I thank you! I'll go find him right away."

Having said that, he ran away.

He first looked for Chen Mingyuan.

First, I appealed to my brother-in-law's emotions and then explained the reason to him.

"Look, you've studied for so many years, and your tuition is paid by your family, right? And your wife takes care of the household expenses, right? Don't you feel you owe them something?"

"That's right. Now there's an opportunity in front of you that might make you feel less guilty. Do you want to give it a try?"

"Reading, reading doesn't interfere with it. Look, tonight, you, Sisi and I can take a small class together, right? During the day, you can teach the children some cultural lessons. Teaching and learning will benefit each other. While you review, you can also discover new knowledge points in the teaching process.

And, most importantly, you no longer have to go to private school and listen to your teacher talk about his knowledge. Do you want to seize this opportunity that kills three birds with one stone?"

After hearing what he said, Chen Mingyuan didn't hesitate any longer and agreed immediately. Where else could he find a job that was so suitable for him?

After persuading Chen Mingyuan, there is still the hurdle of getting the daughter. This is a more difficult hurdle. Not only do I have to ask the daughter, but I also have to ask the child's mother and the villagers whether they agree. Communication is also required.

"Hiss," Zhou Dajiang suddenly felt that his task was a bit heavy. Such a young teacher was really rare. How to make everyone accept him was indeed a difficult problem. However, no matter what, he had to get his daughter to accept him first. Only when his daughter nodded could he think of other things.

When he got home and told his daughter what happened, Zhou Sisi only held up three fingers.

Zhou Dajiang: "What do you mean? Let's not play 'you gesture and I guess', just tell me the answer directly."

Zhou Sisi: "If all three conditions are met, I'll go."

Zhou Dajiang swallowed his saliva and said, "What are the conditions? Tell me first."

Zhou Sisi: "First, painting can only be an elective course. Children who don't want to take it don't have to."

Everyone has their own preferences, and learning painting is not a must. She can teach those who are interested, and those who are not interested can learn something else on their own. She can also teach fewer people.

Zhou Dajiang nodded, "That's fine."

Zhou Sisi held up two more fingers, "Second, there must be girls in the school."

What if they were all boys? What would happen to her and Lotus? How embarrassing!

"Well, let me mobilize you. What is three?" Zhou Dajiang wiped his sweat.

This kid has a lot of demands!

"Third, I can choose the place where I paint, either in the school or in the fields. I have one lesson a day, five days on, two days off."

"can."

As for sketching, that's fine. If the child wants to take two days off a week, that's fine too.

"Then I'll be fine."

Even if the daughter agreed, she had to tell the child's mother.

Unexpectedly, the daughter-in-law was even more straightforward. She just said, "As long as the child agrees, it's fine."

The child's side was solved, and the next thing was the villagers' side. Zhou Dajiang thought about it and went to find his father-in-law again. Sisi agreed to teach, but how to explain it to the villagers?

Master Chen: "What's so difficult about this? Leave it to me!"

Zhou Dajiang...

I thought there would be countless difficulties and obstacles, but it turned out to be so simple!

Okay then, I'll go study Master Wu some more.

As a result, before he could study it, Xu Wu arrived.

Xu Wu carried a bundle on his back and said succinctly, "In my current situation, it's impossible for me to go into battle again. I can only pack my bags and go home. I'm an orphan, so the general asked me to come and seek refuge with you."

It was like a pillow being given to someone when they were sleepy. Zhou Dajiang was overjoyed. It was right that you came to me. We are just in need of a martial arts master, and you are the one.

So Zhou Dajiang didn't have to put in much effort and found all the teachers.

Village Chief Zhang also spent three days preparing the tables, chairs and benches.

The school is ready, except for the children.

So that evening, Village Chief Zhang held the first enrollment meeting in the new ancestral hall.

Village Chief Zhang held the speech prepared by Zhou Dajiang in his hand and said, "Let me say a few words. I called you all here today mainly for the following things."

Well, it's too awkward to read it aloud, I'd better say it myself. Putting away the manuscript, he said with his hands behind his back:

"Some families came to me before and asked me to ask if Master Chen was recruiting students. They wanted to send their children to school. I thought it was a good idea. If one family can send their children, then ten families can send their children. So I discussed it with Dajiang and decided to set up a school and invite a few teachers to teach our children to read and write.

Everyone knows what happened in the Dali family. Children should not be spoiled, nor should they be ignorant of etiquette, disrespect the elderly and love the young, or be unfilial to their parents.

Therefore, moral education is very important. Thanks to the Dajiang family, most families in the village have gone to the processing plant. With such good conditions, the children's education must also keep up.

If you want to enroll your child, you can come to me. The tuition is not expensive. If you provide your own writing materials and pens, it costs 1.5 taels of silver per year. If the school provides writing materials and pens, it costs 1 tael of silver per year. Textbooks are charged separately.

I asked around in town about the cost of schooling and was surprised to learn that it wasn't expensive. Studying in town, not including textbooks, costs one or two taels of silver a year, and paper and pens are another. The school, along with paper and pens, only cost one or two taels of silver, a truly reasonable price.
