Chapter 173 You Carry Water to Water Your Garden (37)

The final tuition fee was set at one tael of silver per person per year, plus a lunch at noon.

One tael of silver sounds like a lot at first glance, but when calculated carefully, for the villagers of Huaxi Village, one tael of silver is only enough to cover two months of living expenses for a normal family of five.

There are eight school-age children in the village, including Xiaoxiao and Du Yuhan next door, making a total of ten, but they can only accept money from eight of them.

The production cost of textbooks and a set of pen, ink and rice paper for each person cost a total of one or two taels of money, plus the cost of daily lunch, and it would be good to have six taels of taels of tuition.

Furthermore, the remaining six taels have to be split in half with Song Jiangming, so Ye Xi's family can only earn three taels of silver.

……

Three taels of silver, even the fragments of the vase that Yin Zhengdao broke in Prince Qi's mansion couldn't afford it, so he had to make the famous Prince Qi's mouth dry and hard for a year.

This deal doesn't seem to be a good deal.

Ye Xi smiled wryly and shook her head. Although the business is profitable, it is not a place where she is allowed to make huge profits.

……

Yinzhengdao wrote down the confirmed tuition fee on paper, and was about to leave for the entrance of the village to post it, but Song Jiangming took the initiative to recruit the job.

He also claimed that besides studying, he has a lot of strength, and that he will do all the errands in the future, so that Yin Zhengdao can handle the work behind the scenes with peace of mind.

The registration form was pasted at the entrance of the village by Song Jiang's name, and the next step was to wait for the villagers to register.

At first, Yexi was still worried. She was worried that some villagers would think the tuition fee was too high. After all, they hadn't calculated it in depth.

But when she saw the first villager who brought their children to sign up, this worry was dispelled, and she also saw the people deep in the mountains' desire for knowledge.

It really proves the modern saying, no matter how poor you are, you can't have poor education, and no matter how hard you are, you can't suffer children.

After a while, the not-so-big yard was full of folks who brought their children.

Seeing that Yin and Song were about to be overwhelmed, Ye Xi wiped his hands and went over to help a little.

At this time, a fat woman saw Yexi writing and drawing with a pen, so she took her child and moved over with a smile, and praised her.

"Hey! How can I say she looks like a man and a woman! Miss Ye and Song Xiucai are really a good match! Not only are they good-looking, but they are also educated, which is different from the people who grew up in this kind of mountainous corner!"

……

After the words fell, Yinzhengdao, who was next to Yexi, stopped writing slightly, and raised his eyes to look at Song Jiangming, who was nominated, his eyes were dark.

"Hehehe..."

Song Jiangming scratched his head and laughed out of embarrassment, Yinzhengdao narrowed his eyes, as if he had discovered the reason why Song Jiangming had been unable to win the exam.

It seems to be because of stupidity.

Thinking of this, Yinzhengdao's gloomy eyes were filled with an intriguing look.

Ye Xi sat diagonally opposite him, saw the way Yin Zhengdao looked at Song Jiangming, pursed his lips and smiled.

Just as she was about to say something, the little boy next to her suddenly bowed and said obediently, "Hello, sir! Your handwriting is so beautiful!"

Ye Xi put down his pen and asked him, "Do you know all the characters on it?"

The little boy shook his head, "I don't know."

Hearing the words, Ye Xi smiled slightly, which was meaningful.

This is not only because parents like to flatter, this is also the rhythm of bribing the teacher in advance!

Ye Xi raised her head and said to the fat village woman, "Sister-in-law, I'm not a teacher. There are only two gentlemen, Mr. Mo and Mr. Song, in the private school."
