Chapter 143 Class Begins
There is a forest further back. Yu Baibai plans to buy the entire mountain after making some more money!
Plant fruit trees and other things on the mountain, make wine and snacks!
Getting richer and richer!
She would be a wealthy woman again!
Just think about it!
Now the school only has two large rooms with fireplaces.
Although it is a mud house, it is sturdy and warm!
I’ll rebuild my brick house when I have money!
Out of the way!
I also hired someone to spread the advertisements everywhere.
"Yu Family School is now open! Annual tuition is only one or two taels!"
Other schools charge five taels of silver a year, not counting the gifts for festivals and other holidays.
After people from the surrounding villages found out, they all expressed their desire to come and see!
You can afford it if you grit your teeth and spend a tael of silver!
Thus, the Yu Family School officially opened. Not only did the children of the village sign up enthusiastically, but children from neighboring villages also sent their children to study.
Xiaowangzhuang has the most!
Sixteen people aged six or seven came!
Thanks to Grandpa Yu who kept pressuring his eldest son to make tables and chairs, and the tables and chairs were easy to make, but there was not enough wood, so only 101 sets of desks were made.
Even Mr. Yu is not satisfied with this!
……
They shouted and pushed Yu Lao Da to go up the mountain to cut down trees, and the village head was amazed:
"He's still my real father! He treats me like my grandson."
Even the landlords wouldn’t exploit us like this!
Of course, this also caused Mrs. Yu to scold him, just because Mr. Yu had exhausted her eldest son.
"You old fool! This is your son! Are you just working him to death? Can't you let my eldest son have a break?"
Mr. Yu ignored her, and Boss Yu smiled apologetically:
"Mom, it's my pleasure! Don't worry about it! Just go about your business!"
"Oh, you bastard! I'm just trying to stand up for you! You're such an ungrateful person!"
Hearing that her son did not speak up for her, Old Lady Yu became even more agitated, jumped up and started punching Old Man Yu.
Boss Yu dodged it very flexibly, saying as he dodged:
"Mom! Why did you hit me? I don't know anything else, I only know a little carpentry. If I don't do carpentry, what else can I do?"
"Ouch... Stop hitting me! It hurts!" There was chaos everywhere.
Boss Yu dodged the beating from Old Lady Yu and hurried out of the yard, hearing Old Lady Yu's shouting and cursing behind him.
Boss Yu went straight up the mountain. Before going up the mountain, he selected a few suitable trees and started cutting them down.
He thought to himself that he must make more tables and chairs so that more children could go to school.
……
"Yu Family Academy opens today. Thank you all for your support! Our capabilities are limited right now, and our teaching hardware facilities still need to be upgraded. We'll have to wait and see."
"Our teachers conduct lesson research activities every day, and parents occasionally come into the classroom, allowing them to experience the teaching atmosphere of our school firsthand!"
"Okay, let's officially start the trial class!"
Yu Yaozu was called by Yu Baibai to come today to support the party, and everything he said was what Yu Baibai insisted on him saying.
As soon as Yu Yaozu finished speaking, firecrackers rang out!
The head of the village insisted on buying this, saying that he wanted to let the ancestors see that they were living well after arriving here, and even a school was opened!
The children sat upright in the classroom, staring intently at the teacher in front of them.
Although Yu Laoer has no teaching experience, he has Yu Baibai, who has attended more than nine years of compulsory education!
Yu Baibai has been rehearsing lessons with Yu Laoer for the past three days.
Yu Laoer, who was a little nervous at first, is not nervous at all now, he is completely numb.
Because of this lesson, he has taught it five times, if not six times.
Yu Laoer began to teach in a loud voice:
"Today we are studying the Three Character Classic. Gently open the book on the desk and open to the first page."
“Point to the words and read along.”
"At the beginning of man's life, his nature is good..."
The children recited along with the teacher, and their childish voices echoed in the classroom.
The parents stood outside the door, watching the scene through the window, with relieved smiles on their faces.
Yu Bai gave a look and Yu Xin went straight to ask the parents to leave.
What does it look like when parents are clinging to windows while students are studying?
……
inside the house
After Yu Laoer led the children to read it several times, he began to explain the meaning bit by bit.
His in-depth and easy-to-understand explanations helped the children quickly understand the principles of the Three Character Classic.
Then, Yu Laoer asked the children to read aloud freely and encouraged them to ask questions.
The children raised their hands actively, and Yu Laoer answered their questions patiently, creating a very lively classroom atmosphere.
When the gong sounded for the end of get out of class, the children ran out of the classroom excitedly and played with their friends in the yard.
Yu Baibai sat under a tree in the yard, watching all this, feeling a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
There is not much profit in opening a school, but she did not open the school just to make money.
Children of this era are not like those of her time. They do not have nine years of compulsory education, and both boys and girls can go to school and learn knowledge.
The tuition fees for today’s schools are not something that ordinary farmers can afford.
Girls were not allowed to attend school, and even in wealthy and powerful families, girls could only receive one-on-one instruction from a teacher.
Although Yu Baibai didn't go to school for reasons other than not wanting to go, the main reason was that no one mentioned it.
Even Mr. Yu, who loved her the most, could only sigh and lament why Yu Baibai was not a boy.
Yu Baibai knows that it is difficult to change the current situation by her own efforts, but she wants to do her best to give more children the opportunity to read and learn to read.
She plans to offer more courses in the future. Not only will they learn the contents of the textbooks, she also wants to teach them the skills they need to survive even if they don't take the imperial examinations.
Now Yu Baibai is discussing employment matters with the village chief in the village.
"Grandpa Village Head, while there's no work in the fields, why don't you come and help me build the mud walls for the school? I'll provide you with a meal, and 100 coins per person per day."
The village chief was so excited! This good thing finally happened to them:
"Okay, okay! I'll get someone over right away! Let's start now!"
Yu Baibai stopped the village chief and said, "Grandpa Village Chief, please wait a moment. The wall needs to be built as high as ours!"
"Okay! Why not?"
"Just get the soil from behind the school. I'm going to build a playground there!"
"playground?"
"Yes! When we have more people, we will also offer martial arts courses! We will also need to find some school guards, and I'm afraid we will have to find teachers in our village for these."
Yu Baibai has a lot to do, and this is just one of them!
A guard team is necessary. After all, the students are still young. If something happens, this school may be over.
"Good, good, good!" That's great! These hopeless old men finally have hope, right?
The village chief quickly called the villagers to come to work.
Everyone worked enthusiastically, and after a few days, a strong and tall earthen wall stood around the school.
