Chapter 171 Running a School

After a period of time, Chi Xiaotong and Chen Chengyu contacted several teachers, but none of them were willing to come to such a small village to teach.

Later, Chi Xiaotong said that they could also meet in town, but when they heard that there were several boys of different ages, they all refused.

Chi Xiaotong was worried and was wondering who else might be in her study with Chen Chengyu?

Suddenly I saw her bookshelf, which was full of books.

Chi Xiaotong suddenly had an idea and slapped her thigh excitedly: "Why didn't I think of it before!"

"What did you think of?" Chen Chengyu was confused.

"You!"

"What am I?"

"Aren't you a scholar? With your knowledge, you are more than qualified to be a teacher! Anyway, you have nothing else to do except the sugar factory now, so I will take care of your little work even if it makes me tired!

Why don't you teach a few kids to read? That will solve the problem. Why worry about it? "

Chi Xiaotong said happily.

Before Chen Chengyu could say anything, Zhao Pannu came into the room carrying some fruit. She agreed, "I think it's okay. We were together before, so I can take over all the work!"

As soon as Zhao Pannu opened her mouth, Chi Xiaotong knew that the matter was settled.

After all, as a husband who is also under the supervision of her husband, Chi Xiaotong still has some confidence.

Sure enough, Chen Chengyu was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, then let's find a place! You don't have to worry about the teacher not being able to teach the child well!"

"This is easy. At worst, we can just build a new room and use it as a school!" Chi Xiaotong said generously.

Zhao Pannu sat down and thought with them.

"It seems that there is still an empty room in our house!" Zhao Pannu said after recalling for a moment.

"Yes, then let's clean it up and use it as a school!" Chen Chengyu also thought of it.

"Okay, I'll go clean it up!" Zhao Pannu was an impatient person. She would do things as soon as she said she would, and started to clean up immediately.

Chen Chengyu and Chi Xiaotong went to find Chen's mother and told her their plan.

The two old people were indeed very supportive, and Chen's father even went to help.

Chen's mother suggested: "The house is big, you can open a school and recruit some students. There are no schools in the nearby villages, so you can definitely set it up!"

Chi Xiaotong thought that Chen Chengyu looked like she had no problem at all and could afford the cost of running the school, but the teacher would be Chen Chengyu, so she had to decide.

Chen Chengyu asked Chi Xiaotong for his opinion: "What do you think?"

"I want to do it! Then I can recruit men! Let men also read, learn to write and understand reason!" Chi Xiaotong said truthfully.

Since she traveled through time, she has witnessed too many cases of women being superior to men, but this has never happened to him or the Chen family.

But this kind of situation is everywhere. She cannot change this society, nor does she have the ability to change the status of men.

But she still wanted to do her best to provide a way out for the men in this place that she saw.

She also knows that her abilities are limited, so she tries to fit in, not to listen, not to watch. But there are still times when she feels uncomfortable, for her own incompetence and for the injustice of society.

"I will bear all the expenses of the school. Since we are going to run it, let's make it a big one!" The more Chi Xiaotong thought about it, the more determined his eyes became.

After all, I am considered a wealthy man. I can afford to run a school even if I have to keep pouring money into it.

Chen Chengyu was a little hesitant at first, but the moment he saw Zhao Pannu at the door, his eyes became determined.

She was born and raised in this society. Even though the Chen family has a clean family tradition and her thoughts are similar to most people, they would not think of letting men study, understand the truth, and build a career.

This is a social problem.

So when Chi Xiaotong learned that Chen Chengshan could read, she was shocked and even suspected that there was a time traveler in the Chen family.

Zhao Pannu's mother was obsessed with the position of scholar all her life. She failed the exam herself, and since she had no daughter, she placed her hopes on her son's wife.

Even though she was so crazy, she never taught Zhao Pannu to read and write, so as to let him convey her will.

In fact, after Chen Chengyu taught her, he found out that Zhao Pannu was very smart and could learn things very quickly.

If he had been taught since childhood, he would be no worse than any other girl. Chen Chengyu even felt that if he took the imperial examination, his success rate would be very high.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with not allowing men to go to school, but she didn't want to see men like Zhao Pannu again.

Although he was so eager to learn to read, he was unable to do so for various reasons and could only look at those women with envy.

"We'll do it! I'll share the responsibility with you!" Chen Chengyu said firmly.

Outside the door, Zhao Pannu's eyes were moist. She knew that the things she had wished for but could not get as a child would never happen to her own children.

It’s great that men can now read!

"Just go for it. We old guys can still protect you for a few more years!" Chen's mother laughed loudly.

Chen Chengyu and Chi Xiaotong smiled at each other. With the support of Chen's mother's generation, they were more confident!

Several people discussed in the room for a long time and finally finalized some preliminary matters.

If they wanted to run a school, one room in the Chen family would not be enough, so they had to choose a site and build a new one.

There is also the matter of hiring a teacher. If it were just a few children of his own, Chen Chengyu might be able to barely teach them all. But if there are too many of them and their ages are varying, Chen Chengyu would definitely not be able to manage them all.

This is a big problem. The educated people think highly of themselves and would not be willing to come here to teach men.

"What are you talking about?" Chen Chengshan poked his head in from the door and asked as no one paid attention to him for a long time.

"We can't find a suitable teacher to run the school!" explained Chen's father.

"Uh, who should I teach?"

"They plan to open a school and recruit some boys!"

"If the knowledge doesn't need to be too high, I can do it!

But I can only teach the basics, such as how to read and write, and I don’t know anything more than that!”

Chi Xiaotong and Chen Chengyu looked up at the same time, and when they saw each other's actions, they both smiled.

"That's settled then!" said Chen Chengyu.

"I really didn't expect this!" Chi Xiaotong sighed.

"Ah?" What's decided? What didn't you expect? Chen Chengshan didn't follow their thoughts.

"You teach the introductory class! Leave the older ones to your sister! That solves everything!

I will start recruiting people and choosing a location to build a school tomorrow!"

"Don't you need to tell your brother-in-law?" Chen Chengyu reminded.

"Yes, I have to go back and tell Xiaoyu to see if he has any suggestions! I'm leaving first!" After saying that, he ran away in a hurry!

Looking at Chi Xiaotong's back, everyone in the Chen family laughed. They didn't think there was anything wrong with informing their husband about everything.

After Chen Chengshan finished laughing, he realized what had happened when he returned to Li's house.

I went back to my dad's house when I had nothing to do, and how did I end up becoming a teacher?

They just made the decision without realizing that Chen Chengshan was already married and that these things should be discussed with his wife in advance.

Chen Chengshan didn't expect it, he just thought that he could actually teach!

I'm going to show off to Li Dingxiang when I get back and celebrate.

The most important thing is that Li Dingxiang didn’t think there was anything wrong. She was just happy for Chen Chengshan and told him to let her know if he needed her help.
