"Father, a school, is so fun; there are many friends," Wenta said happily.
"How is school today?�� Wen Jia asked the two children.
"Today, the teacher taught us the alphabet, and the afternoon told us an exciting story." They explained the story in the school with interest. They shared many exciting experiences within the school.
As inadequate staff and unable to clearly divide classes, the Ministry of Education had teachers to teach students to read and write first. The afternoon provides exciting storytelling. Famous literature in the last world, Including science experiments
These things quickly attract students' attention. An incredible story they had never heard before. Making students think about going to school the next day
"Hm, why is the bag puffing up?" Wen Jia looked towards the two of their bags and asked with suspicion. From his memories, that early morning, their bags were empty. Nothing was packed.
"This is a book that the teacher gave me," said Lao Da in a fresh tone. No matter how shocked his father's words were
"What, a book like that?" Wen Jia said in disbelief. As if hearing a mistake, hurriedly open the bag and look. Inside, it was filled with textbooks for various subjects which the school gave out.
The Ministry of Industry has improved paper production and printing technology. Reduce production time and budget The Ministry of Industry received a request for coordination from the Ministry of Education to establish a publishing house for printing textbooks for students.
The Ministry of Education published a textbook and gave it to everyone without a single coin, which shocked Wen Jia.
"Is this really a book?" Wen Jia carefully reached out to pick up the textbook. Then turn over and see the inside. Found that the paper texture is smooth, with the texts arranged neatly and beautifully as if printed. The smell of printing ink hit Wenjia's nose. It was the scent he had just encountered for the first time.
"Did the school really give these books?" Although holding the book in hand, he still couldn't accept it. This was shocking as the sky had collapsed.
Books, the rights of the elite, are costly. Wen Jia had never held a book before. But when a child, he had seen a book being sold for a high price that was hard to reach. But the books in his hand looked several times better than them, with the same size of paper and lettering. These letters were so small that the brush could not write out Wen Jia could not know making these books. But Wen Jia thought that these books would be costly.
