Chapter 63 The lion opens his mouth, bargains and cuts off the waist
Everyone is gearing up, and the village has not been so lively for a long time.
When Shi Yan came to the book school, the students were still playing with each other in their seats. When they saw him coming, they all quickly returned to their seats.
As soon as he closed the door, Xiao Anyu was locked out.
Xiao Anyu knocked on the door and said pitifully from outside: "Mr. Shi, I haven't gone in yet, please open the door."
Shi Yan ignored it and said to the students below: "You have not been in school for a long time, but you have worked hard. Therefore, we will hold a reading exchange meeting in the afternoon."
Children are always interested in novel things. In fact, Yan was also interested in it. This was all mentioned by his wife on the way here. He thought it was very useful and could train these children.
Zhou Yunyi stood up, folded his hands and saluted Shi Yan, and asked, "Sir, what is a reading exchange meeting?"
Shi Yan motioned for her to sit down, and then began to explain: "Let's move the chairs outside the school and sit down. According to the rules, everyone comes forward to present, whether it is reciting a poem, reading an article, or writing a few words. It doesn’t matter if it’s a word, in short, it’s about our study, it doesn’t matter.”
This novel exchange meeting was something they had never seen before. They began to discuss in low voices, and some shy children began to feel sad.
"Your family members will also come, but they will not disturb you and will only stand around. Remember, anyone who can come to the front to show off is worthy of admiration and everyone will give you applause."
After Shi Yan finished speaking roughly, the constant knocking on the door outside really ruined his mood. Song Tingran prepared baskets of fruits, which were covered with curtains so that no one else knew what they were.
"Xiao Anyu, haven't you gone home to see your mother yet?"
When Xiao Anyu saw Song Tingran, she ran over and hugged her thigh, feeling aggrieved as much as she wanted.
"Aunt Song, they have started class. I haven't entered the door yet. Please help me and let me in quickly."
Song Tingran dexterously threw her body away, thinking silently in her heart, not her child, not her child, not her child... Endure it.
"Xiao Anyu, I have to study something very important in the school this afternoon. It's not too late for you to go home and find your mother."
Hearing this, Xiao Anyu's originally relaxed heart became firm again, and she didn't say anything and left, but stood not far from the school.
Why not at the door of the book school? Because Song Tingran was at the door, she was not allowed to get close.
The children in the book school were getting ready, and Sang Cheng and the others were not idle either. All the children who were studying in the book school were notified one by one. This kind of thing spread quickly, and the villagers went to join in the fun. Go to the book school.
It was almost time, and Shi Yan opened the door. There were already some adults waiting outside, and the children were responsible for their seats, which were arranged neatly outside according to the positions in the school.
Xiao Yuchen came over carrying a round wooden stake and placed it at the front according to Song Tingran's instructions.
Qiao Jinshu collected some wild flowers on the roadside, and Sang Cheng probably arranged them around the wooden piles to create a beautiful little stage.
Xiao Anyu was standing in the crowd at the moment, feeling very uncomfortable. Although there were other children who were not studying, they were either because their families were in difficulty or because they were husbands, so they didn't go.
And she did it because her mother wanted to take advantage.
Seeing that the adults were almost here, Song Tingran said loudly: "Children's reading is a long-term process and needs encouragement. We set up this reading exchange meeting to help children avoid reading books and develop generosity. , it’s a good habit to dare to speak out, please don’t interfere, just stay with me quietly and give applause.”
Everyone also cooperated. After Song Tingran finished speaking, applause broke out, which made her a little embarrassed.
Village Chief Zhou's family was also among them. Village Chief Zhou was very happy and said: "These are all to be recorded. When the time comes, we will select outstanding villages. It will definitely get extra points."
The rest will be left to Shi Yan. As the teacher of the book school, he walked to the front and said: "Studying is never a boring thing, because today is a bit rushed, but I still prepared a small reward for everyone, so , the Song Family Book School, the reading exchange meeting has officially begun."
There was thunderous applause.
"and many more!"
Xiao Ping squeezed her way to the front from the crowd. Xiao Anyu, already aggrieved, hurried over and burst into tears.
"Look at you, you bullied my An Yu. Why can children from other families participate but not mine?"
It was a good thing, but before it even started, someone appeared to interfere with it.
Song Tingran glanced at Xiao Ping, who automatically entered the circle, bowed to the villagers, and recounted what happened at noon.
This was obviously Xiao Ping's fault. She was not afraid and said plausibly: "Please don't accuse me wrongly. I am going home to withdraw money. Let the children come to the school first. It is already late and I don't want to waste another half day." Classwork.”
Song Tingran said oh, stretched out his hand and said: "Half a tael of silver, please pay. Come to class starting tomorrow."
"What? They have been taking classes for so long, and it's only half a tael of silver. We just start tomorrow, and they still need half a tael?"
Xiao Ping's statement immediately seemed reasonable to some villagers. Xiao Anyu went there and took fewer classes than others.
"That's not right. If everyone is like this, can everyone come at any time during the period? The classes are uneven, so what's the point of this book school?"
The village chief has been listening carefully. This matter was really difficult to judge for a while.
"Of course, sir, I will use other time to make up for the missed homework. Moreover, what my An Yu missed before was all simple and did not take much effort."
Song Tingran understood, and so did most of the others, but the village chief looked unhappy.
Originally, Song Tingran thought that Xiao Ping waited for her to come back before talking about the book school because she looked down on Shi Yan and the others and didn't bother to communicate. Now it seems that she wanted to do less homework and let Shi Yan make up lessons for Bai!
"Since the wife of the Xiao family said this, she must have made a plan at home, that is, Shi Yan will waste all his time making up classes and pay less. In this case, forget it, our Song family book school also has the right to refuse."
The scene was in an uproar, especially Xiao Ping. Everyone was dumbfounded. There were still people who were turned away from the business of opening the door to make money.
Village Chief Zhou also stood up and said: "The matter is very clear. Xiao Anyu will come to class tomorrow for half a tael of silver. Shi Yan is also responsible and will definitely use the rest time to make up for the previous content."
Xiao Ping didn't dare to borrow what Village Chief Zhou said, so she said yes again and again, and her tone softened: "It's all for the sake of the children. Let's do this. Shi Yan doesn't have to work hard to make up for it. Just hand over two hundred coins and we'll follow. .”
Li Fengmei kept rolling her eyes. She was so shameless in asking for a discount, even if she didn't get a single penny, but this person was so aggressive that she even cut her waist off in bargaining.
