"Madam Su, do you mean to ask me to help buy that little forest?"

Manager Xu was a little surprised.

Su Qin nodded, "As long as the price is reasonable, please ask Manager Xu to help buy it. The owner of the little forest has a conflict with me. If I come forward, they will definitely speak out."

As for not selling, it is impossible to rely on the nature of the Cheng family. They will only take the opportunity to drive the woods to sky-high prices.

Manager Xu understood and agreed: "Then please don't worry, Madam Su, I will go and get this done in the next two days."

Su Qin asked Manager Xu to ask the matter, so she said goodbye, asked Qin Fangrong to show her way, and went to Maozi, who was teaching in a private school.

Now it is almost the new semester. Zhao Xiuzhi took Xiao Shitou to the private school in the village a few days ago to get the admission matter done. Su Qin dared not delay any more, otherwise she would have to wait until next year to get Zhouzhou to enroll.

Su Qin has always been thinking about this matter. Even if she didn't ask Manager Xu for help, she would have to bring Zhouzhou to the county today.

Previously, Qin Fangrong was worried that Master Mao would open the store again if he injured his leg. Unexpectedly, when they arrived, the door of Master Mao’s house was open, and there were several adults with children standing outside the gate. It seemed that they were all children who came to Master Mao to study.

Zhou Zhou guessed that he was here to find a school for him, and he immediately raised the corners of his mouth with joy.

Getting off the carriage, Su Qin was about to inquire about the situation, but Du Juan moved faster than her, "My brother and sister, you are here to watch the child, I will ask about the situation."

After saying that, he raised his foot and walked towards the parents who had arrived early.

After a while, Du Juan came back and whispered: "These people also sent their children to study, but according to them, Mr. Mao was not in good health this year and had requirements for accepting students. If the children who did not meet the requirements, they would not accept them."

Zhou Zhou was suddenly a little nervous, and he held Su Qin's hand with a small hand and couldn't help but use some force.

Su Qin stroked the back of his hand with her fingers, "Don't be nervous. You will answer whatever your Master asks you later. You are so smart, and Master will definitely like you."

Yueyue also cheered him up, "Brother is not afraid. If this master doesn't accept you, we will go to the next master. If it really doesn't work, let's go home and let my mother teach you to read."

Zhou Zhou felt that the following sentence seemed to be good, so he looked up at Su Qin and felt no longer nervous.

The children in front were called in one after another, and two even came out with tears in their noses.

After waiting for half an hour, it was finally Zhou Zhou's turn.

Su Qin took Zhou Zhou into the gate of Mao Master Mao’s house. After entering, she did not look around randomly and followed Mao’s wife inside.

Zhou Zhou followed Su Qin obediently, and didn't let Su Qin lead her, her little face was so serious.

When he arrived at the door, Madam Mao asked Su Qin to stay outside the door and let Zhou Zhou go into the room by himself.

Zhou Zhou looked up at Su Qin.

Su Qin smiled at him, her eyes full of encouragement.

Zhou Zhou took a deep breath, straightened his back, and walked in with his short legs.

Master Mao was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was thin and had a stern face. When ordinary children saw him, they couldn't help but feel scared.

Zhou Zhou was calm, walked to Mao Zedong, raised his hands and hugged each other, and bowed deeply to Mao Zedong, "Student Cheng Tinglan, I have met the Master."

Cheng Tinglan is the name of Zhouzhou, and Yueyue’s name is Cheng Tingyu.

These two names were given by Su Qinniang's father, and they are completely different from the pillars and stones in the village.

Although Zhou Zhou was a little nervous, he performed very well. In addition, he had been following Su Qin for so long and was drinking spiritual spring water every day. Zhou Zhou's eyes were full of spiritual energy, which made Master Mao fall in love with him at first sight.

However, Master Mao was a very principled master. He asked with a cold face: "How old are you? Where are you? Can you tell me about your words before? Can you write your own name?"

Zhou Zhou said clearly: "Return to Master, the student is five and a half years old this year. He lives in Xiaohe Village. He learned some simple words from his mother before, and he can write the name."

Master Mao took out the pen and ink, "Then you write it for me."

Zhou Zhou stepped forward and grabbed the brush, held the pen in a standard posture, and wrote down his name stroke by stroke.

A five and a half year old child has not learned the words for a few days in total, and the words he wrote are crooked and even a bit dangerous.

Master Mao looked at Zhouzhou and then looked at the word, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, "You need to work harder to practice this word in the future."

Zhou Zhou held his little hand and bowed: "Yes."

Master Mao was very satisfied with Zhou Zhou's overall performance. It was the first time that a five-year-old child could perform like this in front of him.

"Go out and tell your parents that they will go and hand in the training and send you to school in ten days."

Zhou Zhou's eyes surged with a little excitement, but he did not take it all in pride and bowed respectfully and retreated.

Su Qin was very powerful and stood outside the house and heard Mao Master Mao clearly, but she still asked in a low voice: "How is it? Did Master agree to you to enter school?"

Zhou Zhou pursed his lips, his little face turned red with excitement, and nodded heavily, "Mom, Master asked me to help me, I will go to school ten days later."

Su Qin rubbed his little head: "My son is awesome."

Turning around and asking Madam Mao, "Madam Mao, how much does Shu Xiu need?"

Madam Mao was not tall, spoke in a gentle voice, and had a very kind attitude. "Shu Xiu paid one or two taels of silver a month. If the child kept food here at noon, he would be 300 ounces a month. The private school was small and there was no school building. The child needed to be taken home every day."

This price is not low.

One tael of silver a month, plus the money for meals, I get more than ten taels of silver a year.

This is just enlightenment. The more you read, the more expensive it is to practice.

Not to mention children from poor families, even those from ordinary families have few people who can afford to support their children's studies.

Su Qin asked: "How many months will it take for a semester?"

"Five months."

Su Qin took out seven taels of silver directly, "Please take it away with Mrs. Mao."

The silver she gave was all the standard small silver ingots for the government's traffic, one five taels, two one taels, and nothing needed to be weighed.

Madam Mao said, "Please wait a moment, I'll go and find the money."

Su Qin smiled and said, "No need, the extra money is to treat Tinglan's filial piety to Master and Master's wife."

In ancient times, students gave gifts to teachers was not a shameful thing.

Respecting teachers and respecting the Tao is not only reflected in etiquette, but also in terms of benefits in all aspects.

Otherwise, what if the village private schools collect pork or other things?

Sure enough, Madam Mao didn't feel too surprised and took the money very calmly, "Then wait ten days later and don't be late. The lady is the most unhappy student."
