Chapter 181 Enrollment
"Yes, Baichuan College is indeed worthy of its reputation." Shen Sitong also echoed, "The learning environment here is simply too good. It is a great blessing in life to be able to teach here."
"I think this library is not just a place to store books, but also a sacred place to enlighten wisdom and cultivate character." Another teacher went on to say, "Look at these villagers, they spontaneously participated in the construction and moved books. This love and respect for knowledge is also worth learning from."
The teachers were talking to each other one after another, and they all said that being able to come to Baichuan College was a rare opportunity in their lives.
They were not only shocked by the college's hardware facilities, but also moved by its educational philosophy and humanistic care.
Bai Yufeng listened to the teachers' conversation with a smile. He knew that Baichuan College had successfully left a deep impression on these teachers.
"Everyone, I have some more details to add. You see, the cafeteria that is under construction over there is expected to be put into use soon. Tonight, we invite all teachers and their families to have dinner together in the cafeteria and experience the food of our college." Bai Yufeng smiled and pointed to the cafeteria opposite.
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw that the outline of the cafeteria was already clearly visible, and the workers were busy carrying out the final decoration and layout.
"It's so thoughtful. Even the cafeteria has been considered so carefully." A teacher exclaimed.
"Yes, Baichuan College really has good intentions." Another teacher also echoed.
Bai Yufeng nodded and continued, "Okay, teachers, please bring your families and go to the hall in front. Master Jiang is already waiting there, and he will arrange accommodation for you."
Everyone expressed their gratitude, and then followed Bai Yufeng's instructions and walked towards the hall with their families.
After Mr. Jiang informed the village heads of this matter, he also announced some policies supporting girls' enrollment.
On that day, the news that women could also read spread widely in more than a dozen surrounding villages, but it also caused some different voices.
At the gate of Yang's home in Yangjia Village, Yang's mother held her daughter Xiaomei's hand, with a worried look on her face: "Yang Xiaomei, do you really want to go to college? What's the point of a girl studying so much? You will get married and have children in the future."
Yang Xiaomei looked at her mother firmly: "Mom, I want to go. Women can also be knowledgeable and experienced. I want to see the outside world and don't want to stay in this small village all my life."
Mother Yang sighed: "But the people in the village will gossip about you. They will say that you are not doing your duty and are not like a girl."
Yang Xiaomei bit her lip and said, "I'm not afraid. I'm just afraid that I'll regret not having the chance to learn in the future."
Aunt Zhang smiled and comforted her, "Mr. Yang, don't worry. I heard that Baichuan College has set up some scholarships and grants to encourage girls to enroll. As long as Xiaomei studies hard and gets excellent grades, she may be able to get these grants and reduce the burden on the family."
After hearing this, Yang's mother's eyes flashed with hope: "Really? That's great. If Xiaomei has the opportunity to get financial aid, I will definitely let her go to college."
Xiaomei was also listening attentively. She clenched her fists, with a determined light in her eyes: "Mom, I will study hard and live up to your and Aunt Zhang's expectations."
Aunt Zhang patted Xiaomei on the shoulder and encouraged her: "Xiaomei, I believe you can do it. Remember to study hard and strive for a better future for yourself."
With the encouragement and advice of Aunt Zhang, Yang's mother finally made up her mind to support Xiaomei to study at Baichuan College. She understood that although tuition was a problem, her daughter's future was more important. She was willing to do her best for her daughter's future.
At the Li family not far away, the atmosphere was even more tense. Li's father was adamantly against his daughter Xiao Li going to college: "A woman's virtue is not to be talented. What's the point of studying? You will get married and become someone else's family in the future."
Li Xiaoyu looked at her father with tears in her eyes: "Dad, I really want to go. I want to study and become an educated person. I don't want to stay in this small village all my life and live a mediocre life."
Father Li slammed the table angrily: "Mediocre? Do you think that studying can make you extraordinary? Let me tell you, the most important thing for a woman is dowry and marrying into a good family. Studying will only make you idle and waste your time."
Li Xiaoyu's eyes were empty and confused as he just stared at his father. His originally youthful and lively face was now filled with sadness and loneliness.
She knew very well that it was impossible for her to convince her father given his character. Faced with this heartbreaking situation, she had no choice but to accept it helplessly.
Fortunately, there are still some parents in the village with relatively open-minded ideas. They strongly support their daughters going to college for further studies.
Because they know that knowledge is power, and they also firmly believe that everyone should have fair and equitable educational opportunities regardless of gender.
It is precisely because of the existence of such parents that the girls in the village who have dreams have received great encouragement and motivation, allowing them to muster up the courage to pursue their own poetry and distance, and fearlessly move towards the vast world full of infinite possibilities.
Similar scenes are happening in villages one after another...
The next morning, the sun shone through the clouds onto Jiangjia Village, bringing a new day of vitality to this quiet village.
As the first ray of sunshine shone, villagers from the surrounding villages brought their children and set out for Jiangjia Village.
They were either walking, riding donkeys, or driving ox carts, and their faces were filled with anticipation and excitement.
Jiang Xue had an in-depth discussion with Zhong Ziqi last night, and the two jointly developed the teacher's enrollment plan.
At this moment, Zhong Ziqi is busy arranging various matters to ensure the smooth progress of enrollment.
As time went by, more and more children and parents came to Jiangjia Village.
They were very satisfied when they saw the clean environment, spacious classrooms and enthusiastic villagers of Jiangjia Village.
Zhong Ziqi warmly welcomed every child and parent who came to register, patiently answered their questions, and allowed them to have a deeper understanding of the educational environment here.
"Really? Such a big private school... No, no, no, it's a college!" The villager's voice was full of surprise. His eyes swept across the spacious college building, and he was obviously shocked by its scale and grandeur. He couldn't help but raise his voice, wanting more people to hear his sigh.
