Chapter 269 Baihe Township, Feudal Fool(2/3)
Li Yu did not sit down, but observed the scene with his hands behind his back.
According to the standards for institution set by the county government, the township should have at least four houses, schools, school houses, kitchens and study rooms.
The rural school in Baihe Township has now built three houses, only one room away.
The built houses were made of solid wood and brick and stone structures. He reached out and tried them very firmly, and he could see that there was no cutting corners.
Li Yu nodded slightly in his heart. At this moment, Zhu Li, who had left, returned.
Behind him were a few men in a civilized manner, carrying a wooden table.
"What are Mr. Li looking at?" Zhu Li felt a little embarrassed and apologized: "I have already told the aunt about you, but you came a little later. You can only wait until the aunt prepares Uncle Luan and the others' meals before you can make your own."
"fine."
Li Yu turned around and showed a smile on his face, "I just took a look casually. I didn't expect that the county government really had such great courage to build a school in the countryside. Now I'm witnessing it with my own eyes, and I'm very shocked."
Are you praising yourself?
Li Yan stood not far away, and when he heard this, he suddenly felt a sarcasm in his heart.
Zhu Li didn't know this, and only thought that Li Yu was showing his true feelings. He also sighed on his face: "In fact, it's not just Mr. Li who was shocked, but when he came here, he was also excited."
"For so many years, I have never heard of any government funding to build schools in the village, and tuition fees are exempted!"
"This move by the county magistrate is a saint's act, and he should be worshipped by literati from all over the world!"
When Li Yu heard this, his smile became more gentle.
After this incident, the two of them also had a topic and started chatting.
Li Yu also knew Zhu Li's identity and had obtained a professional title. He is currently a teacher and was assigned to Baihe Township as a teacher.
However, the rural school in Baihe Township has not been built yet, and Zhu Li lives here without any worries, and then reads and starts with it.
The cook named Aunt Gou cooks very quickly and cooks a full table of food in less than an hour.
At the dinner table, Zhu Licai saw the amazing appetite of Li Yan and others, and was stunned.
Only Li Yu knew that it was taken by everyone, otherwise the meal today would be half full.
After dinner, Li Yu and Zhu Li enjoyed the cool under the peach trees in the yard and enjoyed the tranquility of the afternoon.
"Sir, we..."
Suddenly, the gate of the college was pushed open, and the three villains ran in from outside.
The young childish voices were already ringing when they were still outside the door, but when they came to the yard, they all seemed to have been imposed on the stamina and stood there.
Li Yu looked back and saw three children, two men and one woman, two general horns on his head, wearing a cloth shirt, looking at him about five or six years old.
"So it's Xiaoyu, you guys! Come here quickly."
When Zhu Li saw the three children, he showed a gentle smile on his face, and got up and brought them over.
But the three children were obviously afraid of having sex. The girl named Xiaoyu was picked up by the scholar, buried her head on the latter's neck, and looked at Li Yu with big eyes.
The other two little boys hugged one of their thighs, which made the scholar very helpless.
"This is Mr. Li from the city. Don't you all say you will go to the city to be the master in the future? Now that I see the real master, why do they stop talking?"
Zhu Li put down the little girl, and comforted her with a gentle voice.
However, such words obviously did not make the three children react anyway, and they still stood there and dared not step forward.
When Li Yu saw three little radish heads, he felt interesting.
He brought three pieces of rock candy wrapped in oil paper from Li Yan, squatted down, smiled, and said softly.
"I have sugar here, it's very sweet, do you want to eat it?"
This time he went to the countryside, considering that he would meet a child, he asked Li Yan to prepare a little, but he didn't expect it to come in handy.
Seeing the brown rock candy wrapped in white paper and oil paper, the three children's eyes changed significantly.
The two little boys opened their mouths and saliva flowed out.
But the first one to do it was the little girl who looked at Wenjing.
"Is this... really for me?"
Xiaoyu jogged in front of Li Yu. He just reached out to take it, but he shrank back halfway, raised his thin and red face and asked weakly.
"Of course!" Li Yu took out a piece of rock candy and put it in the other party's small hand, "Your name is Xiaoyu, right? This was given to you by the eldest brother."
"Yeah, thank you."
Xiaoyu took the rock candy and replied seriously. Her voice was slim. She picked it up with her two little hands and licked it gently...
Well... so sweet!
A happy expression appeared on the little girl's face.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! With the little girl taking the lead, the remaining little boys finally couldn't stand the temptation to be captured by rock candy.
After breaking the ice, Li Yu went to hug Xiaoyu, but the latter did not resist much.
As for the other two little boys...
It is good for the health to stand multiple times.
"It makes Brother Li laugh."
When Zhu Li saw Xiaoyu being hugged by Li Yu, why didn't he come down? He was eating candy in his mouth, but his eyes were staring at the latter.
From Zhu Li's mouth, Li Yu also learned the origin of the three children, all of whom were children from other families near He Village.
Because the child’s family is pretty good in the village and the child is young, there is no need to work on farm work all day.
In the afternoon, I would come to the academy to find Zhu Li and listen to the latter telling stories.
As for how Zhu Li met the three radish heads, it was also an accident.
Then Zhu Li recited poems in the yard, which attracted the attention of children playing outside.
Zhu Li was idle and had nothing to do, so he told them a story.
After a while, I became familiar with each other, and then I decided to come over and listen to the story every afternoon.
But the only one who actually came here was Xiaoyu. The other children either needed help with work or were too young to run around.
"Will Xiaoyu's parents also send her to school?"
Li Yu held the little girl and asked Zhu Li.
Although Dayu had nothing to do with the history of previous lives, it was a common point for women in feudal society to have a low status.
In this era, although people do not say that "a woman without talent is virtue", they also think that women will get married sooner or later, and no matter how well they are trained, they will be a wedding dress for others.
Therefore, parents in families will not let their daughters learn.
Zhu Li shook his head and sighed when he heard this: "Xiaoyu's parents are quite enlightened, and there is no need for tuition to go to school, so they are willing."
"But in He Village, other parents who have daughters are quite resistant. Even if the tuition is free, it is considered a waste of time. It is better to help the family thank the farm work."
Li Yu frowned slightly. This kind of thought is the mainstream of society at present, and it is not a matter of time to change it overnight.
"The county government's reform document mentioned that all children of the age of the village can go to school for free. This naturally includes girls, which means that the county government also has the meaning of letting women learn."
Li Yu held Xiaoyu, looked at the other party's thin body, and said, "The county government may not have set up a female official in the future. If the girl is allowed to go to school now, it will be a matter of glory to the family. After all, no matter whether a boy or a girl is a child, a surname should not favor one or the other."
This incident was a scheming he deliberately left behind. He knew that society had great prejudice against women and did not say it clearly.
He didn't say that he had changed since adult women, but he didn't expect that even if he was just a child, the resistance would be so great when the tuition was free.
As for his small move, has anyone noticed it?
Of course, Li Yu thought there was, after all, there is never a shortage of smart people in the world.
As for why they didn't mention it, it was naturally because they were smart enough.
Zhu Li didn't expect this. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "Brother Li has a unique insight, I have never thought of it. It's just this reason, I can only say that I can try it, but the effect should not be great."
Li Yu also knew the difficulty of this matter and nodded, "I will also react to the county government after I go back, hoping that there will be someone to take over so that these children will have a bright future."
Zhu Li looked moved when he heard this. He stood up and saluted Li Yu solemnly, "Brother Li is really a Bodhisattva's heart, and the saint's behavior. In the next generation, Xiaoyu and countless girls from the two counties thanked the young master!"
He was not prejudiced to the woman, and he also sympathized with Xiaoyu's experience, and was willing to help the best of his ability.
But he did not expect that Li Yu, who was born in a wealthy family, would be willing to run for these girls.
Not to mention whether his mind has other purposes, this behavior alone is enough to make him respect and be worshipped by him.
Li Yu waved his hand, tried his best, and then looked down at the little girl in his arms.
The latter was watching him seriously. After being discovered, his eyes could not dodge, and his little face suddenly became hot and red.
In the afternoon, the village was in charge of the village and the elders. After confirming the identity of Li Yu and others, they invited him to sit at home.
Li Yu happened to have something to ask, so he went there.
After some inquiry, he also learned the reason for the abnormal expressions of the people in the village.
It turned out that on a mountain near He Village, several wandering ghosts appeared.
