Chapter 350 Classmates and roommates

At night, the old village chief counted the number of people.

Except for a few of the Qiao family, there are actually forty-five children that the whole village has temporarily decided to send to school.

As for the Qiao family, there are six stars and moons in the southeast, northwest, and Qin Gengwen, seven. Xiao An'er is still young, so there is no need to go there for the time being.

Therefore, there are more than fifty children in the whole village who are willing to go to school!

This number was beyond Qiao Ran's expectation. She thought that even with her own role model, there wouldn't be many families in the village willing to send a child to school, at most twenty.

Unexpectedly, not only all the people in the village who have children under the age of fifteen are willing to send their children to school, but some families also send two or three at a time. Although they are not like the Qiao family who send six or seven at a time, it is still very good. It's surprising.

Moreover, the old village chief also said that some families feel that they have just moved here and they have to build a house and buy things, so they dare not spend so much money to go out. Secondly, their older children also have to help with work at home, so this year they are temporarily Only one or two younger children are sent to school.

When things stabilize next year and we have more money, we will send the older children to school to learn Chinese characters and arithmetic.

In this way, Qiao Ran felt that one wife might not be enough.

She decided to look around first. It would be best if she could find two masters. If she couldn't find one, she would hire one first. Anyway, most of the children in the village had zero basic knowledge and they all had to be enlightened together.

When there is a gap next year, we will hire a few more teachers to teach in different classes and subjects.

After making up her mind, Qiao Ran decided that when she sent her fourth uncle to the academy the next day, she would stop by to find out if there were any scholars in the city or nearby villages who wanted to be teachers in the academy.

Early the next morning, Qiao Ran got on her own carriage and planned to drive her fourth uncle into the city.

This was a great event for the village. The whole village got the news and did not go to work early in the morning. They were all in the open space in front of the tent to watch Qiao Tongsheng go to the academy on his first day.

Qiao Sihai wore a blue children's long gown today. The edge of the gown was dark blue, almost black. When worn, it overlapped on the chest, which is called "green robe".

Wearing a boy's hat of the same color on his head, he has a tall and straight figure, handsome features, and is as gentle as jade. He looks like a graceful, elegant and good young man.

Qiao Ran looked at the fourth uncle like this and sighed, no wonder that Li Youmei was also stalking the fourth uncle.

It's not that she has a filter for her fourth uncle, but since she came to this world, she has passed through so many cities and met so many people. She has even been to the capital many times and seen many people in the capital. There are very few students and young masters with figures and looks like her fourth uncle!

The handsome men of this era are all natural, and their respective characteristics can be seen at a glance.

Farmers in the countryside who work all day long have tanned skin, and it is difficult to find someone who can be seen, let alone someone who is good-looking.

As for the young men in the city, most of them, the better-looking ones, are weak-looking young men with pretty faces.

A man like Fourth Uncle, with broad shoulders and long legs, a fit body, a handsome face but not a pretty face, and a healthy state of skin that is neither white nor black, is a truly beautiful man in Qiao Ran's opinion.

Qiao Ranzhuangruo inadvertently looked at the faces of the surrounding villagers, and sure enough she saw that many young girls looked at her fourth uncle with bright and shy eyes. They were afraid of being seen, but they couldn't help but want to Look, he is shy and timid, which is quite intriguing.

Qiao Ran thought to herself, indeed, handsome boys and beautiful men are very attractive in any era!

Once Qiao Sihai went to the academy, it would take him almost a month to rest and go home. Mrs. Qiao was very reluctant to leave. She took her youngest son and told him to eat, drink and sleep well outside, and not to worry about money. , don’t treat yourself badly.

You should get along well with your teachers and classmates, don't get into arguments with others, and the world will be brighter if you take a step back. But if it involves issues of principle, there is no need to step back. Some things can be tolerated, and some things must not be compromised.

If you have any problems, don't shoulder it alone. You should discuss it with your family. Sometimes a person's strength is very limited, and family is always his strongest support.

Qiao Sihai promised my mother one by one, and also told me not to worry too much and be tired, let go when it's time to let go, rest when it's time to rest, take good care of yourself, and enjoy more blessings in the future.

The old village chief led everyone to wait aside. When he saw that the mother and son were almost done talking, he stepped forward.

He put a red envelope in Qiao Sihai's hand and told him not to worry about his family too much in the academy. The villagers would take good care of Qiao's family and let him eat well, sleep well, study hard, and succeed in the exams in the future. Okay. Let the whole village follow suit.

Qiao Sihai looked at his mother, wondering whether he should accept the red envelope.

Mrs. Qiao knew that this was the intention of the villagers. It was a sign of respect for the scholar and a blessing. She nodded and asked him to accept it.

Then, the heads of each family came over with red envelopes, put them in Qiao Sihai's hands one by one, and said a few words of congratulations and blessings.

Qiao Sihai held dozens of red envelopes in his hand, saluted and thanked the farewell people, then turned around and got on the carriage, waving to everyone.

Qiao Ran raised his whip, and the horse, which had been fed with spiritual spring water during this period, and its fur became more shiny and smooth, walked towards the outside of the mountain with its hooves raised.

This was the first time Qiao Ran and Qiao Sihai entered the city openly, and the guards at the city gate did not embarrass them.

After sending her fourth uncle to the gate of Wanlu Academy, Qiao Ran took down the book box and two large boxes containing clothes and bedding from the carriage. Qiao Sihai reached out to take them and carry them inside.

However, seeing many students at the door with their bookboys to help carry things, Qiao Ran looked at her fourth uncle, who was wearing an elegant boy's long coat, and felt that he looked unsightly with boxes hanging all over him.

So she simply tied the horse to the stone pier on the roadside and lifted a large box with one hand, leaving only a rattan book box for her fourth uncle to hold to send him in.

Qiao Sihai was about to help pick up a big box, but he saw Qiao Ran striding towards the entrance of the academy. He had no choice but to pick up the book box and follow quickly.

The gatekeeper of the academy thought that Qiao Ran, who was wearing men's clothing, was a student of some student, so he only glanced at her and ignored her.

Qiao Ran had already seen her fourth uncle's dormitory yesterday, asked about the direction, and walked straight there.

Wanlu Academy is indeed the most famous academy in the capital. It covers a very large area and has many trees planted inside. If it weren't for the different buildings here, Qiao Ran would have thought she was in a school in her previous life.

The students' dormitories are to the east of the academy, in a small courtyard planted with quiet bamboos.

When Qiao Ran carried two big boxes and found the small courtyard where her fourth uncle was divided, as soon as she walked in, Qiao Ran felt a blackness in front of her, and then there was a "thud" on the ground, and she seemed to tremble a few times. When she looked up, she saw someone suddenly Jumped out and blocked the road:

"Hahahaha... I said I want to protect Brother Qiao, right? Keep your word! From now on, Brother Sihai and I will be classmates and roommates! From now on, we will go to and from school together, do homework together, and eat together!"
