The news of the academy's enrollment soon spread to several nearby villages, and families with children planned to come and take a look. If the tuition was not much, they would send their children to study there.
When Xie Kui arrived at Wang Jinhe's house, he was a little surprised to see that Wang Jinhe's belly had grown so big all of a sudden: "Xiaohe, how long have we not seen each other? How come your belly has grown so much?"
When Wang Jinhe and the others just came back, he came to talk about puppets, but after that Wang Jinhe was too busy, so he didn't come to disturb them.
Who would have thought that Xiaohe's belly would be so big after not having her period for more than half a month.
Wang Jinhe said a little embarrassedly: "I'm pregnant with twins."
Xie Kui nodded in understanding: "I see."
"Uncle, what are you doing here today?"
Xie Kui slapped his head and then remembered the reason why he came here today: "Xiao He, it's like this, aren't you going to start accepting students? And there are girls who want to learn a craft. Your aunt's eldest brother's child is a good person. Uncle heard the news and came here to shamelessly ask for a few places from you. Do you think it's okay?"
"What's wrong with that? Uncle has solved my urgent problem." When Wang Jinhe heard that Xie Kui was going to send someone over, he naturally would not refuse.
The main reason is that there is no girls' school in this era, and people think that sending girls to study is a waste of time and money.
After all, in the eyes of most people, girls are just money-losing goods. They will get married sooner or later, so why spend so much money
She had already prepared herself for the fact that few girls would sign up, and now that there was an opportunity for promotion, she was naturally willing to do so.
"Uncle, why don't you call a few village chiefs over here and I'll tell you the details of the matter, and then you can go and tell the villagers. You see, I can't travel too far with my stomach full." Wang Jinhe said a little embarrassedly.
"Why are you being so polite to me? I'll go find someone now. How about we come back tomorrow morning?" Xie Kui said a time.
Today's time is neither early nor late, which is not very convenient. It's better to come again the next day.

"Okay." Wang Jinhe naturally agreed to Xie Kui's arrangement.
"Then I'll leave first."
After returning home, Xie Kui told Rong about this matter and then went out to look for someone.
Rong was very happy, knowing that Xie Kui was very busy, so she planned to wait until he was almost done with his work before asking him to take her back to her parents' home to tell her brother about this matter.
The next morning, Xie Kui took several village heads to find Wang Jinhe.
When they arrived, Wang Jinhe had not yet woken up, so Su Yu received them.
"Uncle, you guys take a rest first. I'll go see if Xiao He is awake."
"If Xiaohe is still sleeping, don't call her. It's okay for us to wait for a while." Xie Kui knew that pregnant women were sleepy, and it was normal for her not to get up yet since it was still early.
"good."
Su Yu went to the room to call Wang Jinhe, but before she could call him, he had already sat up from the bed.

Turning to look at the person sitting next to him, Wang Jinhe yawned and asked softly, "What time is it?"
"You can get up now. Uncle and the others are here."
Wang Jinhe, who was still a little confused, suddenly became very sober. She looked at Su Yu with some worry: "Why didn't you call me earlier? It's so rude to make them wait."
"It's okay. Uncle told me not to wake you up if you haven't woken up yet. Let you sleep a little longer. Everyone can understand that you are a pregnant woman." Su Yu said soothingly.
Wang Jinhe rolled his eyes at Su Yu and said unhappily, "What do you know? I'll go change my clothes and wash up."
It's not like they don't have anything to do. How can you be so justified in wasting their time like this
Su Yu shook her head with amusement, and seeing that Wang Jinhe was anxious, she stopped persuading him.
Wang Jinhe packed up and went out, looking at Xie Kui and the others and said embarrassedly: "Uncle, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
"Xiao He, you don't have to think so much. Go and eat something first. After all, you have two little ones in your belly. You can't let them starve." Xie Kui said kindly.
"Yes, County Lady, it won't take you long to go eat something first."

Su Yu looked at the village chiefs and began to feel favorable towards them.
Such people are worth Xiaohe's help.
"Then I'll go eat first." As soon as Wang Jinhe sat down in the cafeteria, Qiu Yi brought her porridge and buns.
After eating and drinking, Wang Jinhe went to discuss enrollment matters with Xie Kui and others.
"Uncle, I called you here today to talk about the academy. If boys want to come to study, they will pay a tuition of two taels of silver per year. They can have a meal here at noon, and they need to prepare their own paper and pen. As for girls, they can come from the age of seven. They will pay a tuition of one tael of silver per year, but they need to sign an agreement with me. After graduation, they have to help me for five years. If they still want to continue working in the workshop after five years, they must sign a new agreement." After Wang Jinhe finished speaking, Qiu Yi handed him a cup of warm water at the right time.
Wang Jinhe drank some water and looked at them, wanting to know their opinions.
Xie Kui was the first to nod in agreement: "That's good."
"We will go back and explain it to the villagers. As for what they think, it's up to them."
It's only one or two taels of silver a year. Even if you have to work for Wang Jinhe for five years, you will still be paid for these five years.
This tuition fee is really cheap. Compared with the academy in the county, it is much cheaper.

I believe that there will definitely be people who will participate in such a gift.
"Xiao He, now that we have finished talking, we will leave first."
"good."
After several village chiefs returned to the village, they began to gather the villagers and talk about this matter.
Some villagers were immediately unhappy when they heard that the girl had to pay money to learn a skill there.
"Isn't this village chief and the county lady really good at extorting people? Is a little girl worthy of going to school?" They were willing to pay two taels of silver for their son's education, but this girl's family only earns one tael of silver a year, and their money didn't come from the wind. What was going on
The village chief glanced at the person who was speaking and said in a cold voice: "If you don't send your child, don't delay others."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at all the villagers: "I believe you all know that the county lord not only built a school, but also a workshop. As long as you finish your studies, you can go to the workshop to work, and the wages are not bad. Is one tael of silver a lot now?"
Is it worth their screams and howls
Besides, if you have the skills and work in a workshop, you can earn more money.

"Village chief, we want to sign up." A family with four daughters spoke up.
"How many do you plan to report?"
"I will enroll the eldest and second daughter first. After I get the money from growing cotton with the county lady this year, I will let the third and fourth daughter go to school."
"They are all money-losing goods. What's there to be proud of?"
