In the huge square, there is a merit monument, engraved with the names of all those who donated to Dahe Academy.
There were many benches neatly arranged in the square. Parents who had children studying in Dahe Academy put down their books and came to attend the meeting.
Cheng Wanwan also sat in the parent group.
Regardless of whether it was in her previous life or this life, this was her first time attending a parent-teacher conference, and it felt strange.
After the time was up, Yu Shanchang appeared on the podium. He looked high-spirited and looked several years younger.
"Everyone must know that our Dahe Academy achieved good results in this year's college examination. A total of twenty-three people went to Huzhou to take the examination, and eighteen were on the list. It is the town with the most new talents in Huzhou." Chief Yu Shan Smiling and stroking his beard, "Earlier, Dahe Village was building a large number of schools. Many people were not optimistic about it. Some people said it was a waste of money and people. In just over a year, Dahe School has proved its worth with results. This This is the credit of all the students.”
"In order to encourage students to continue studying hard, our Zhao Lizheng from Dahe Town specially allocated a part of the education funds from the village department to use as scholarships. The bonus is not much, but it is an honor and an honor worthy of your lifetime. As long as you become Scholar students can come on stage to receive your own awards."
The parents below immediately applauded, and amid the thunderous applause, the eighteen talents walked towards the stage.
The oldest scholar is twenty-four years old this year, and the youngest ones are Zhao Sidan and Yu Zhan, who have just turned thirteen this year. The group of people stood in a row according to their height.
"Next, ask the parents of these students to tie big red flowers on their children."
The parents sitting below didn't know that there was such a process, so they stood up immediately and walked proudly to the stage.
Cheng Wanwan also stood up, and the people quickly made way for her, letting her go first.
She walked onto the stage and stood next to Zhao Sidan.
Every time she was in the limelight before, it was because of herself.
But this time, she became the center of the crowd because of her son.
This feeling is really different.
Chief Yu Shan handed the big red flower to her hand, and she tied it to Zhao Sidan's chest seriously. She smiled softly and said, "Jing Si, you are very good. I hope you can continue to study hard, not for To gain fame is to broaden your horizons, improve your thinking, and strive to be a useful person."
Zhao Sidan nodded vigorously: "Mother, I will definitely work hard and will not let down mother's expectations!"
After all the scholars tied their heads with big red flowers, their momentum immediately came out.
Chief Yu Shan looked at the students and said: "Everyone who comes to Dahe Academy to study must have a seed buried in their heart. Everyone hopes that the seed in their heart can sprout and grow up and become a towering tree... I become After becoming the captain of the school, you have an extra mission on your shoulders. The mission is on your shoulders and the responsibility is like a mountain. I must take you further and further on this road..."
"Young children, you are young, it is time to struggle, it is time to work hard..."
His impassioned speech inspired everyone present.
The students and parents applauded one after another. The applause lasted for a long time, flying the birds perched on the treetops, and also touched everyone's heartstrings.
Dahe Academy became famous.
Even people from outside Huzhou came here. These people did not mention the requirements for admission. Instead, they donated money as soon as they asked, and then begged to accept their children to study here... because there were so many people coming. Finally, Principal Yu Shan had to open another class to accept these students from other places.
But it was agreed in advance that he would only teach once a month. If you can accept it, you can stay. If you can't accept it, you can leave at any time.
Of course those parents can accept it.
They asked about it. The reason why Dahe Academy’s results were so outstanding this time was because Master Yu compiled some collections of college examination exercises. This collection of exercises was not sold on the market. Only students from Dahe Academy were qualified to copy them. It was said that , there are many questions in this exercise set that are similar to the college test questions. They are here just for this...
When Dahe Academy was recruiting students in full swing, Cheng Wanwan was also busy here.
Many villagers from Lijiagou came to see me about crayfish farming.
The food festival in August made the crayfish famous in one fell swoop. Later, it was shipped to Yangzhou for sale. It is said that it became popular overnight and the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce made a lot of money.
People and villagers from Lijiagou made a special trip to inquire about it. They found out that after being transported to Yangzhou, crayfish worth eight hundred and twenty taels of silver could be sold for a high price of more than ten and twenty taels of silver. This huge profit made them excited.
Naturally, they don't have the capital to open a restaurant, but they can participate in farming.
"People from Suigong, we are here this time to participate in crayfish farming." Li Lizheng from Lijiagou said respectfully, "Our Lijiagou is between the valleys of two mountains. There are many small ponds. , people in the village usually just raise some fish and shrimp, but they can’t sell them for much money. I heard that the price of crayfish is relatively high, so I wanted to ask if we can also raise some.”
Cheng Wanwan put down the tea cup.
Her fifty acres of land in Lijiagou could only produce less than 30,000 kilograms of crayfish in total, and she simply could not supply that many customers.
I originally thought about letting Wu Xiaochui rent 200 acres of land next year to expand breeding, but digging a pond is too troublesome, so it is better to use a ready-made one.
The villagers in Lijiagou raise a few at home, which adds up to a large number.
She smiled and said: "Of course you want to breed, but I have to make a profit here, and I have the final say who sells the crayfish. If you can agree to this, you can buy shrimp seedlings and breed them next spring. .”
Li Lizheng was overjoyed. It would be difficult for them to find their own sales. They didn't know any businessmen from Yangzhou and Qingzhou.
And the first level of profit is not too much, so there is nothing we can't agree to.
He immediately said: "If Suigong people don't trust us, they can sign the contract immediately. If anyone breaks the contract, we will pay a hundred times the compensation."
Cheng Wanwan nodded and asked someone to prepare the contract. After the contract was signed, Wu Xiaochui was asked to teach the people in Lijiagou how to familiarize themselves with the crayfish habits, so that they could start breeding them after spring.
People in Lijiagou know that crayfish are profitable. Some people's ponds are relatively small. In order to raise more, they ask the whole family to dig a pond together. The larger the pond, the more crayfish they can raise and the higher the harvest will be next year. , this is a sure-profit business.
Cheng Wanwan still had potato and tomato seeds on hand, and she distributed them evenly to Li Zheng in other villages so that the villagers could plant them.
Although the market response of potatoes and tomatoes is not as good as that of crayfish, they are still popular. In the first two years, no matter how much is planted in the field, they can be sold.
It was too troublesome for her to grow these by herself, and she didn't earn much compared to other businesses, so she gave these profits to the villagers. When the nearby villagers became rich, Ping'an County would naturally become rich as well.
Even Osmanthus Village, which is famous for its laziness, has joined the planting team and is busy non-stop.
If the warehouse is solid, you will know etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace.
Only when life becomes richer and richer can people's lives become more and more dignified.
