After picking up a lucky girl, all the beasts line up to come to your door

Mubaobao sat obediently in her seat and whispered, "Sister, we have a new classmate today."

Zhang Juhua had heard about this, but she wasn't upset. "It's said that Doctor Deng, seeing what happened to Gou Zi and out of consideration for your family, selected a few of the most obedient children to attend school."

"These children have to pay tuition and give gifts to their teacher during festivals... Anyway, it's all according to the rules."

Her husband confiscated her dowry because of the baby, but her family said that she had to follow the rules and give her husband various gifts during the holidays.

Mu Baobao said, "This is good."

"If you don't accept the gift and don't follow the rules, I'm afraid the villagers will think that Fang is sending the child here, and then you will be very tired."

Zhang Juhua hummed in agreement. "Many people in the village like to get a bargain... but you can't say it's a bad thing. After all, every household has a hard time."

For example, before her family started selling barbecue with Bao Bao's family, they could barely make ends meet and could only eat meat during the holidays.

Still had a lot of vegetables, only a little bit of meat.

Now, her family's life is much better and they can eat meat from time to time.

Mu Baobao doesn’t understand much about these things. After all, she is too young and there are only so many things she knows.

"Miss, let's not worry about these things. Let's study hard."

Zhang Juhua also thought so. Other people’s family affairs had nothing to do with her. She just had to take care of her own family and protect her baby.

After a while, Dr. Deng came with four new students.

The oldest one was seven years old, named Tao Yeye, a relative of the village chief, and was specially chosen by Doctor Deng to appease the village chief.

The second boy was five years old, his name was Quan Ergou, and he was somewhat related to the Mu family.

The two little girls are both four years old, one is called Hu Doudou and the other is called Ping Huahua.

Both little girls are rather timid, but very obedient and well-behaved. Their families are not the kind that favor boys over girls, and they are generally nice to their daughters.

"Okay, we've introduced the new students." Cheng Zishi clapped his hands lightly and reminded them, "Don't bully the new students. Get along well with them. Got it?"

Mu Baobao and the others said in unison, "Yes, sir!"

Cheng Zishi wasn't worried about the children causing trouble or ostracizing each other. "We have a new classmate today, so let's review the first lesson of the Three Character Classic..."

Mu Baobao and others obediently opened the first page of the Three Character Classic.

Mu Baobao looked at the words above and quietly counted the ones she knew. She only knew five words.

How long will it take to recognize all the words on this page?

the other side.

Ground.

Old Man Mu was busy in the fields with his family.

"Lao Mu, has your family stored food for the winter?" A villager who was harvesting in autumn asked out of boredom.

Father Mu straightened up and patted his back with his hand, "No."

"I'm going to ask Lao Er and the others to look for cheap vegetables when they go into town and buy some back."

"Relying solely on farming is not enough to feed our family. We have too many children."

Every winter, our family has to buy some vegetables so that we have something to eat.

When it comes to storing food, the villagers who are busy in the fields start talking about it.

"This year's harvest is pretty good. I plan to sell the grain after paying taxes and buy some sweet potatoes and cheap vegetables. I can't go hungry in the middle of winter."

"I couldn't bear to buy it, so I sent the children to the mountains to find food. As long as there's food, we won't starve to death in winter. That's how we got through the winters in the past."

"We need to buy some pork. People can't survive this cold winter without some oil."

"I want to buy some new cotton wool, but it's too expensive."

After hearing these words, Old Man Mu began to wonder whether he should buy a new set of clothes for each family member.

It seems like the quilt needs to be replaced with a new one.

However, this would cost a lot of money, at least several taels of silver.

We need to build a new house at home, and buy books, paper and pens for the children from time to time. I am afraid we cannot come up with so much money at once.

He needs to think about this. If he doesn't prepare well, it will be difficult to survive the winter.

"Old lady, do you think we should buy new clothes for the children this year?"

He took out the pipe from his waist, lit it, and took two puffs. "I didn't buy new clothes for the children last year, but I'm afraid I'll have to buy them this year."

Zhu calculated the money in the family and said, "I'm afraid it won't work."

"Pingping and the others are getting older, and we need to save money for their betrothal gifts. We need money for everything."

Old Man Mu frowned. Even though the family had a profitable business, the money was still not enough.

The main reason is that there are too many children in the family, and most of them are teenagers.

I am a half-grown boy and a poor man.

"Instead of buying new clothes, buy some new cotton wool and mix it with the old cotton wool. That way the clothes will be warmer."

Zhu thought this would be a good idea. "I'll go to town in a couple of days to check the price of new cotton wool and see how much I should buy."

Father Mu thought of something else and said, "Tell the other families to pool some money and buy Mr. Cheng and Doctor Deng some new clothes."

"Also, we need to prepare New Year's gifts and New Year's Eve dinner."

His family could have done it themselves, but now that other families' children were attending Mr. Cheng's school, it couldn't just be his family doing it.

It's not that his family is reluctant to spend the money, but they want to pay attention to their relationship with the villagers and give everyone a chance to curry favor with Mr. Cheng and Dr. Deng.

Zhu wrote it down and planned to tell the other families about it in the evening.

"Old Mu." Old Man Mi came in front of Old Man Mu.

He stuffed a roll of dry tobacco into Mu Laodi's hand and said, "I don't mean anything else. I just want to ask if Mr. Cheng will still accept students in the future."

"You know, I want to send my son to school, but the tuition is too expensive."

It's not that he hadn't thought about sending his son to a private school, but the tuition was really expensive, and he had to bring his own food, etc.

It's not like being in my own village. Tuition fees are not that expensive, I can go home for lunch, and I don't have to worry about being bullied.

Mu Laodi confiscated his pipe and said, "I'm not sure, maybe they will take more."

"But you know, Mr. Cheng can only teach a limited number of students."

Mickey Mouse repeatedly made it clear and stuffed the pipe into his hand, "Take it. I won't ask you to do anything."

"As long as Mr. Cheng wants to accept students in the future, I will be relieved."

"I don't expect my kids to pass the imperial examinations, but as long as they're not blind and can recognize a few words, they'll be much better off than us in the future."

Regardless of whether he could pass the imperial examination, the most important thing was that his family did not have the financial resources, and he could not ignore the lives of his family members just for the sake of one or two children taking the imperial examination.

As long as the children can read, they will find jobs in town in the future.
