Chapter 476: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (5)

After the meal, everyone was happy and joyful.

After finishing the meal, Su Xiangran followed Nanny Hong back to the courtyard where she lived.

Looking at Su Xiangran's petite and cute back as she left, Cao Shixun was the first to break the silence and said, "Uncle, my cousin is about to turn seven years old. Have you ever considered sending her to school to receive education?"

After hearing this, Su Weicheng did not respond immediately, but turned to look at his wife Cao Wanning beside him, as if waiting for her to make a decision. After all, matters concerning his daughter were usually handled by Cao Wanning.

Cao Wanning keenly caught her husband's gaze, so she quickly took over the conversation and said, "We don't have a school specifically for girls like in the capital!

Usually, they invite female teachers to come to their homes to teach. Xiao Ran started learning since she was four years old, and now she can recognize a lot of words.

Not to mention other aspects, just her beautiful plum blossom calligraphy has achieved quite good results."

There was a lot of pride in his words.

There is no doubt that Su Xiangran has always been a good daughter that makes Cao Wanning very satisfied.

She not only has outstanding looks and a graceful figure, but also has a kind and gentle personality and is extremely intelligent.

All in all, except for the fact that feet cannot be bound, it can be said to be almost perfect.

"Not in Jincheng." Cao Shixun directly told the news he had heard before, "The priest of the church school will soon open another girls' school, which will specifically accept girls aged seven to twelve. If their academic performance is good, they will be recommended to the school we are in now in the future."

"So what do we learn?" Cao Wanning asked curiously. "It's mainly about learning to read, and we also teach arithmetic, but the most important subject is English."

"Girls learning English?" Su Weicheng said somewhat disapprovingly, "What's the point of learning it? Will you study abroad in the future?"

"Learning English is a trend." Song Chengjing naturally knew how to say it to make the other party interested. "Nowadays, many families will let their children learn English. It is an important symbol of status.

Moreover, the priest who runs the school is a powerful person, so naturally many people are willing to give him face.

Let’s not talk about other families, but our Song family and Cao family will definitely send people to study there.”

Although this sentence did not explain it clearly, it has already pointed out the benefits that letting Su Xiangran go to school will bring to Su Weicheng!

After listening to his two friends' words, Su Yanqing's eyes lit up: if he kept his sister with him, his mother would not be able to bind her feet anymore, and his sister would be educated with advanced ideas, which was much better than being trapped in the backyard.

"Dad, I think what Brother Song said is right." Su Yanqing echoed, "If my sister also goes to Hai City, I will just live outside. Living with her will allow me to take care of her."

"Uncle, this is a great opportunity!" Cao Shixun added, "I heard that among the girls admitted this time, several are the only daughters of officials in the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Haven't you seen how much they spoil their daughters?"

When he heard the words "Ministry of Economic Affairs", Su Weicheng's eyes lit up, but he still had his concerns: "Xiao Ran is only six years old, will she not meet the admission requirements?"

"It's only a one-year age difference, it's nothing!" Cao Shixun said, "Leave it to me." "My cousin doesn't look much shorter than a seven-year-old. We just need to find someone to talk to the priest."

After saying that, he poked Song Chengjing with his elbow. He looked like he really deserved a beating.

In fact, Cao Shixun had no intention of looking for anyone. He knew that Song Chengjing had a very good relationship with the priest, and the matter of admission was just a matter of words. The "person" he said he was looking for was Song Chengjing.

Is Song Chengjing a person who does good deeds without leaving a name? Obviously, he is not.

He smiled calmly and said to Su Weichen, "I have some friendship with the priest. I will arrange for the little sister of the Su family to enter school. When Brother Yanqing recovers from his injury and returns to school, just let her come to Hai City with him."

Cao Shixun's face froze. Well! This ready-made good man didn't get the job. This person is too calculative. Whoever's contribution is not a contribution, why is he robbing him?

"Then let's do it this way," Su Weicheng quickly expressed his gratitude after hearing Song Chengjing's words, "Then I'll have to ask my nephew to take care of my little Ran's schooling."

"Of course." Song Chengjing nodded and said, "I will also help keep an eye on the residence that Brother Yanqing mentioned, and try to find it for him when he returns to school."

Su Yanqing, who was standing by, saw this and endured the discomfort in his body, and bowed to him: "Thank you very much."

After the matter was settled, they chatted for a while and then went back to their rooms. Song Chengjing and Cao Shixun said goodbye to the Su family and returned to Hai City.

Su Xiangran followed Nanny Hong, still thinking about the previous topic along the way.

Su Xiangran had now realized what was going on. She actually knew that Su Weichen had no intention of sending her to Haicheng to study.

But today, in just a short while, these two people first bribed me, then persuaded me to talk, and finally made the final decision.

Thinking about the school in this era, she was quite looking forward to it. Su Xiangran squeezed the purse hanging around her waist and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

It seems that Song Seung-kyung is quite good at pleasing people!
