Compulsory education in ancient times

Of course, this cram school is also free, which can be said to be very conscientious.It's just that through Tao Jianran's observation, Tian Da's family's financial situation is worse than he imagined. He usually rushes home after class, and occasionally when he comes to class the next day, he will be mentally unwell. It is estimated that the work will be heavy after returning home.Tao Yanran was afraid that his family might not agree if he was also invited to attend cram school on weekends.

After a few days of serious thinking, Tao Yanran decided to expand his strategy: home visits!

Children with poor grades in modern times are most afraid of the teacher's home visit, but Ruichao has no such thing as a home visit. Tao Yanran only told Tian Da that he would go to their house on weekends, and he also scared the outstanding student's family.When Tao Jianran arrived at Tian's house, a large family of eleven people, including a baby who was still in its infancy, were all hugged in their mother's arms, and they lined up at the door to greet Tao Jianran, looking at Tao Jianran in fear.

Under such gazes, Tao Jianran always felt that he was a bully who came to rob the civilian men, and the expression on his face was a little stiff, and he said awkwardly: "Ahem, let's go in and talk?"

"Hey, go in and talk, go in and talk." Uncle Tian nodded quickly, and respectfully invited Tao Jianran in.

Tao Jianran has been an ordinary person since he was a child, but he has never encountered such a situation, and he was also affected to sit nervously, forgetting the purpose of his visit for a moment.

A group of people looked at each other awkwardly for a long time in the narrow room, but Tao Jianran reacted first, felt a little funny, and slowed down his tone to persuade: "Everyone, don't be so reserved, I really just came here to chat, if there is something to do You can go to work first, and I'll just talk to Uncle Tian."

Tao Jianran has beautiful features. During this period of time, nutrition has kept up, and he has regained the white and tender skin of a 16-year-old boy. He is good-looking but not aggressive. Coupled with the signature smile of the teacher who has practiced for a long time, it is easy to relax.Sure enough, when he opened his mouth, the atmosphere in the room became less serious, but Uncle Tian's family was still very reserved. It was a personality problem and there was no way to force it, but no one left.

Tao Jianran didn't mind, and asked Tian Da to sit beside him, and then boasted to Uncle Tian: "Uncle, your Tian family has produced a good seedling! This is the first time I have seen someone who can learn so quickly like him." Yes, he must be a gifted child, and he will definitely have great prospects in the future!" In his previous life, he hadn't finished handing in a hundred numbers before, and he had never seen a student who learned so fast, so he was not guilty of boasting.

When Tian Da heard the praise, Tao Yan didn't feel guilty. On the contrary, he was so embarrassed that he buried his head in his chest, his ears were black and red, and he looked a little funny.Although the reactions of the other people in the room were not as exaggerated as Tian Da's, they all had expressions of pride and shy smiles.

Seeing this, Tao Jianran breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that their family has a good relationship with Tian Da, so the resistance to Tian Da coming to the cram school should not be that great.This time when he came to Tian Da's house, Tao Yanran intuitively realized their poverty.

A ramshackle thatched cottage is only half the size of Tao's house, but houses eleven people.A table with four legs of different lengths is placed in the small living room, only enough for eight people to barely sit down, while the others are standing.Naturally, there was no brown sugar water for entertaining guests, and the only bowl on the table for pouring water was the one in front of Tao Jianran, which had no gaps.All ten members of the family were pale and thin, and the only one in the family who looked fair and tender was a baby in the arms of a woman, probably the son of Brother Tian Da.

For such a family, I don’t know what was the reason for letting Tian Da, who is already half of the labor force, come to school, but Tao Yanran admired this family very much, and his desire to help out became more and more intense. Shan, thought of a best-of-both-worlds idea.

So Tao Yanran didn't say too many polite words, and said directly: "Actually, there is something I want to ask for your opinions this time. Tian Da is so talented in mathematics, I think it would be a waste of time for him to continue studying with everyone in the school. So I want to ask Tian Da to come to my house on weekends and I will give him extra lessons, and he won’t be in class from Monday to Friday afternoon, so he can help at home, what do you think?”

"That's great." The one who spoke was a woman holding a baby, but as soon as she finished speaking, Uncle Tian gave her a look and turned her back. She took two steps back in embarrassment, bowed her head and pretended to coax the child.

Uncle Tian rubbed his palms, and asked Tao Yanran cautiously, "Will this be too much trouble for the teacher?"

Unexpectedly, Uncle Tian’s first concern was this. Tao Jianran’s affection for the Tian family increased again, and he said: “No trouble, I am also eager to love and talent, and I will also make up lessons for younger brothers and younger sisters on weekends. It doesn't matter how many more people come."

Hearing this, the members of the Tian family were very excited, chatted casually, and sent Tao Jianran out of the door in gratitude, causing Tao Jianran's reputation to increase by several hundred.

However, Tao Yanran didn't feel that he had done much, and felt ashamed of this enthusiasm, and finally left as if fleeing.

After Tao Jianran left, Uncle Tian looked deeply at Tian Da, and the lively family became quiet after noticing Uncle Tian's expression.After a while, Uncle Tian patted Tian Da on the shoulder, and said: "At first, your mother and I always felt sorry for you. Now... you will study well with Teacher Tao in the future, and you don't have to worry about family affairs. It is also considered a family. The last thing people can do for you."

Hearing this, Tian Da quietly clenched his hands into fists and nodded fiercely.He is no longer a five-year-old who doesn't understand anything. After accidentally overhearing his parents' plan to send him as an apprentice, he has gradually accepted his fate.

However, the appearance of Tao Jianran Free School seems to shine a dazzling light into his dark life, guiding him to a path completely different from the rest of the family.Although Tao Jianran didn't think he had done anything big, he did affect a family and the fate of a teenager, and in the future he would affect more and more people, even the fate of the country.

These are all things to say later, when Tao Jianran left Tian's house, a carriage appeared at the door of the village chief's house.

That horse doesn't look like a good horse, it's listless and thin.But in Lejing Village, which has never seen a horse before, it quickly attracted everyone's attention.The owner of the carriage did not mean to be low-key, the curtains of the carriage were made of colorful fine cloth, the material was better than what Tao Jianran was wearing now, and a lot of gold thread was embroidered on it, for fear that others would not know that he was rich. .

If Tao Jianran was present, he would definitely feel hot eyes.However, in Rui Dynasty, because blue dye was produced the most, civilians generally wore indigo cloth, which looked gray after wearing it for a long time.This has caused most common people's aesthetics to be a bit distorted. Regardless of the color matching, as long as they see brightly colored fabrics, many people will exclaim with envy.

After people had had enough of watching, the coachman got out of the carriage to disperse the crowd. A middle-aged fat man in a golden suit got out of the carriage and went straight into the village head's house without even looking at the onlookers.

A sharp-eyed person among the surrounding villagers immediately brought the fat man out and shouted loudly: "Isn't that Qian Wulang!"

"Yo, Mr. Qian is willing to go back to the village!"

"What is he looking for from the village chief? He doesn't want to buy land again, does he?" someone said in a disgusted tone.

"Hmph, maybe it's because I can't hang out anymore, and I'm going to sell the land." Someone cursed sinisterly.

The news of Qian Wulang's return to the village seemed to have wings, and it didn't take long for the whole village to know.As soon as Tao Jianran got home, Tao Xiaomei told him about it.

"Qian Wulang?" Tao Jianran asked the system in his heart, and he knew that he was a businessman who went out of the village. He was said to be very rich and had a lot of daughters. He was very keen on letting his daughters marry rich or powerful people as wives and concubines .Hearing this, Tao Yanran couldn't help but frowned slightly, feeling a little disgusted with this person.

Tao Xiaomei didn't talk about it, but gossiped with her brother with great interest: "Some people say that he is going to sell the land when he returns to the village this time. I wonder if he will sell our land?"

The "land of our family" Tao Xiaomei mentioned was sold to Qian Wulang by Tian's parents in order to raise money for medical treatment.As soon as she heard that Qian Wulang might sell the land, Tao Xiaomei became excited and her eyes lit up a little more than before.

In her view, the land is still the foundation of life, and now that the family has money, they still need to buy land, in case the eldest brother spends all the money indiscriminately!Moreover, the land used to be taken care of by their parents. The siblings have followed their parents to play in that field since they were young. Those fields have an irreplaceable place in Tao Xiaomei's memory.

Tao Jianran saw the expectation in Tao Xiaomei's eyes, and his heart moved, and he also thought of buying land.Firstly, he still needs to build a primary school, so it is impossible for students to attend classes at his home all the time; secondly, it can be regarded as a kind of income, which is better than sitting on the mountain now. Seeing how much money is being spent recently, Tao Yanran is anxious!Thirdly, Tao Jianran also wanted to help Uncle Tian's family. There are eleven people in their family, but they only have a few acres of Susukida under their name. When the Tao family buys the field, they will definitely not have time to plant it. They can rent it out to their family. Win-win!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was reliable. Tao Jianran was afraid that Qian Wulang would leave, so he didn't eat lunch, grabbed two steamed buns and hurried to the village head's house.

When Tao Jianran arrived, Qian Wulang just came out of the village chief's house.He saw Tao Jianran turn around with a round pancake face, his eyes were on that face, like two seeds on a half-cut watermelon.He looked Tao Jianran up and down with his nostrils up and down for a while, and then moved his ball-like body to get closer to Tao Jianran.

Tao Jianran took two steps back subconsciously, for fear that he would crush himself into a meatloaf if he accidentally fell down.To be honest, Tao Jianran has seen many fat people in his life, but it is really the first time he has seen such fat people like this one in front of him!
