The village school is located in a large mansion covering an area of ​​five acres, backed by green mountains and surrounded by fields and woods on all sides. This vast land is all Ge's industry.

Ge Lide usually lives in the county town. After the village school started, he returned to Shuikou Township and personally supervised the teaching of the village school.

The largest number of students in the village school will not exceed fifteen. In the past two years, the number of students studying in Shuikou Township has become increasingly scarce, barely maintaining nine people. Even if Tao Xing paid a high tuition fee, the size of the village school is the smallest among the eleven villages in Zhushan County.

Liu Da is basically responsible for his teaching work. Only when the county school enrollment exam is approaching every year, Ge Lide will hire one or two students from Fangshan Academy. If he is lucky, he can ask the academy to teach and go to the village school to provide intensive teaching and sudden guidance to these children who are preparing for the county school entrance examination.

Ge Lide, who was once a village tribute man, occasionally gave guidance to students personally, but this kind of treatment was limited to outstanding students. He was favored by the old man and was very confident that he could get into the county school.

In the past two years, Tao Sheng has only received this honor.

Like in previous years, every year when the village school starts, Ge Lide will show up, stand at the entrance of the school with a cane, and welcomes students with Liu Da.

"Meet Mr. Ge! Meet Mr. Liu!"

Three or five people surrounded Tao Sheng, bowed respectfully, Ge Lide stroked his beard with a smile, Liu Da looked at the students' mental state, smiled and nodded, and signaled them to go in.

Tao Xing greeted him timidly, Ge Lide encouraged him with a few words, and then let him in.

After Zhu Xiu saw the ceremony, he was about to enter the house, but Ge Lide suddenly called him and laughed in a harmonious way: "Zhu Xiu, I'll take a quick test later. You have to answer carefully and let me see how much your knowledge has improved."

Zhu Xiu was a little surprised, and only felt that Mr. Ge’s smile was very meaningful, and Liu Da was also looking forward to it.

"Students will do their best to try not to disappoint Mr. Ge and Mr. Liu!" Zhu Xiu quickly responded vaguely.

"Yeah, go in." Ge Lide stroked his beard and smiled.

The spacious, transparent and bright lobby is the main school of the school. Ten students sit in it without any crowding and a little empty.

The students lined up in three rows, each with a short desk, a small slab, and a bamboo basket next to it for storing miscellaneous items.

There is clear water outside the house for self-pickup. Every day, at around 3 pm, the school house will also serve a meal. Whether to eat or not is up to you.

The students are all half-aged and can afford it at that time, so they will prepare some dry food at home and keep their stomachs at noon.

In the past, Zhu Xiu often brought corn dumplings, which was considered good to be able to bake some bread.

According to memory, Zhu Xiu sat down to the last row of the window on the left, took out the pen and ink and placed it on the desk table, opened the water bag and took a sip, glanced around, and observed secretly.

The school house is ranked by the monthly test scores. The better the grades, the closer it is to the desk where the lecturer is in the center of the front, and the more it will be paid attention to by the lecturer and the school house.

Zhu Xiu remembers that he had not moved the third place in the back left for two years and was a complete nail house.

But now, Tao Xing was sitting alone in the middle of the fourth row, in the back of everyone, and was also the only classmate sitting behind Zhu Xiu in two years.

I don’t know if the deliberate publicity of the Zhu villager in Taozhu Village played a role in Shuikou Township. Zhu Xiu always felt that the eyes of his classmates looked at him were a little strange, and there were also a few boys who looked back from time to time.

They were all a group of little kids with no hair, and Zhu Xiu wouldn't take it to heart. He lazily supported his chin and turned a small, hard-skinned pen with a sharp and split tip to his fingers, waiting for Liu Da to start school to speak.

Zhu Xiu secretly wondered why, just like when he was in elementary and junior high school in his previous life, he felt sleepy as soon as he sat in the classroom, and his eyelids were pulled down desperately.

Liu Da made a long and clichéd speech, which made Zhu Xiu laugh and sigh. It was obvious that since the birth of the scientific examination system, the teachers' admonitions have not changed much. It was nothing more than just warning students how severe the situation of the examination this year is, how important it is to cross the county school threshold, how important it is for the future examination and how good it is for their own development.

The biggest difference is that every step forward in the feudal imperial examination era is extremely important for a person or even a family.

It is so important that it can fundamentally change the social status of a family surname.

Zhu Xiu secretly looked at the expressions of his classmates, almost everyone sat upright and looked solemn, even Tao Sheng was no exception.

Those who can sit here to study are almost all the children of wealthy families in various villages in Shuikou Township. Most of the living standards at home are above the average. Even if they don’t study, their future lives will be better than ordinary farmers.

Such a group of well-off children had a surprisingly correct attitude when facing the study and study exams. They knew better than anyone else about the importance of scientific examinations to themselves.

Feeling the serious and heavy atmosphere in the school, Zhu Xiu was shocked and sighed.

In this era of difficult study conditions, there is always a group of struggling struggles who work hard to learn from their knowledge and try to change themselves, which is really exciting.

Perhaps, this is also the embodiment of the people's upbeat spiritual outlook in the prosperous era.

"According to customary practice, a small test will be held today, and it will be a summary of last year's academic performance."

Liu Da held a stack of jute paper and looked around seriously, then posted two pieces one by one, but the Xinsheng Tao Xing was missing.

"The following is said, you will write down the questions first and then answer them one by one."

After clearing his throat, Liu Da read out the test questions that had been prepared long ago. The students quickly wrote them down and listed them first to avoid missing mistakes.

The village school teaches basic courses, mainly based on the deep memory of the contents of the Nine Classics, supplemented by the analysis of some of the meanings of "The Book of Rites", "Zuo Zhuan", "The Book of Zhou", "The Book of Documents" and "The Analects of Confucius", which constitutes the basic education this year.

Zhu Xiu glanced at the twenty questions he had recorded, fifteen of which were posted on the sutra and five questions to solve the meaning.

It is difficult for him to recite the sutra questions silently and memorize them. There are also examples for the answer questions for reference. For Zhu Xiu, who has a "endorsement machine" buff bonus, it is really not difficult.

"Okay, let's start answering. Before I could finish the papers, I would not leave the school except when I went to the toilet."

After Liu Da finished speaking in a deep voice, he sat down behind the desk table, held a book and looked through it, and looked up at the students from time to time.

Zhu Xiu bit his pen and observed secretly, and found that his classmates were all thinking hard, writing and stopping. Judging from their constipation-like expressions, no one felt that this little test was relaxed.

Even the chief academic master Tao Sheng thought for a long time before he frowned and wrote a few strokes, and then stopped to think hard.

For no reason, Zhu Xiu only felt a sense of ease all over her body, and leisurely supported her chin with her left hand, and dipped her pen in ink with her right hand, slowly writing out what she wrote in her mind.

"If God gave me this buff in his previous life, then we can also live up to being a top student, at least we won't be able to use all our skills to get into college~~"

Zhu Xiu knew in his heart that when he chose to apply for a history major, his interests were one aspect, and more importantly, he had a better grasp of such relatively unpopular majors and better choices in the school. It was actually a helpless move to avoid popular majors with stronger professionalism in employment.
