Hearing this, Chen Xiaobei nodded. He had arranged this before going to Hulu Valley. Counting the time, it was already four days.
"Okay, Brother Dayong, you can tell the Liu family how to burn the charcoal later. From now on, your charcoal should be kept separate from the Liu family's. Although Liu Rumei married me, her people are not the same as us after all."
"Brother Xiaobei, don't worry. I understand. I promise to tell them clearly to avoid more trouble in the future."
Chen Xiaobei nodded and looked outside again, "How have you been delivering charcoal to the city these days?"
Chen Dayong nodded, "It's cold today, and there are more people selling charcoal. We can barely sell out all the charcoal every day, but if you add the Liu family, it's hard to say."
Chen Xiaobei nodded. This was what he expected. After all, the only people who could afford charcoal were those families.
"Ah, I will discuss this matter with Rumei."
"I'll ask Rumei to take someone to find you later, and you hand over the charcoal stove to them."
At this time, Cui Hongyu walked in with a smile, "Brother Dayong, the meal is ready, feel free to have a bite here."
After a hasty breakfast, Chen Xiaobei took Chen Qiaoer's hand and said to send her to study. In fact, everyone knew that Chen Xiaobei just wanted to take the opportunity to see Fang Jun.
At this time, Fang Jun was already busy in the classroom.
After all, as a scholar, he has very strict requirements for himself.
After breakfast, I started to arrange all the tables and chairs in the classroom to prepare for the arrival of the children.
Chen Qiaoer came to the door of the classroom and bowed respectfully to Fang Jun, "Hello, sir."
Fang Jun walked up and patted Chen Qiaoer's little head with a smile, "Good morning, Qiaoer, go study."
Chen Qiaoer agreed and walked to his desk obediently.
There are a few lines written on the blackboard in front, which are all morning reading poems that Fang Jun prepared for the children today.
While Chen Qiaoer was studying, Fang Jun walked out.
"Brother Xiaobei, why are you free to come here today?"
Chen Xiaobei smiled slightly and said, "I came here mainly to see you today."
"I'm thinking about you and Xiaoyue, so I need to hurry up."
Fang Jun looked a little shy and smiled unnaturally, "I have also considered this, but my grandfather and Xiaoyue's parents will come soon. I want to wait until they arrive before doing the wedding ceremony."
After hearing this, Chen Xiaobei nodded. Fang Jun was a scholar after all.
"Remember and tell me when the time comes."
After saying this, Fang Jun changed his subject, "Brother Xiaobei, there is one more thing I have to tell you. In the past few days, villagers have come to ask me, saying that they want to come here to learn how to read, but I really don't have the skills to do anything."
Chen Xiaobei raised his eyebrows after hearing this. Yes, there is less work in winter and the villagers have more time. Since Huang Ying's accident, no one has mentioned teaching the villagers how to read.
After leaving school, Chen Xiaobei turned to look for Liu Rumei. At this time, Liu Rumei had already returned to her residence. Just as she was about to prepare embroidery, she heard Chen Xiaobei shouting in the yard.
Xiaoqing hurriedly came out and saluted him respectfully, "Hello, uncle, the lady is in the back room."
Chen Xiaobei stepped in, and Liu Rumei had already brought tea and put it on the table.
Chen Xiaobei was not polite. He sat down on the chair, took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "It smells so good. The tea made by the lady is delicious."
Liu Rumei's face turned slightly red after saying this. In fact, Xiao Qing made the tea.
Xiao Qing also lowered his head in shame.
Chen Xiaobei went straight to the point without any courtesy, "Rumei, I went to school just now, and Fang Jun said that in the past few days, villagers have always come to him and said they want to learn how to read."
"I was wondering, you are also a literate person, could you go over and teach them for a while, until I find someone else..."
Before Chen Xiaobei could finish speaking, Liu Rumei had already nodded, "Okay, leave this matter to me. You go tell the villagers. I can go tomorrow."
Chen Xiaobei obviously didn't expect Liu Rumei to agree so happily.
"Okay then, I'll go and give the notice and let those who want to learn go to school and wait early tomorrow morning."
Chen Xiaobei left happily, but Xiaoqing was unhappy. He pouted and said to Liu Lumei, "Miss, how much money do you get as a teacher in a month? Why do you need to be tortured like this?"
Liu Rumei looked at him and said solemnly, "Xiaoqing, we can't just look at how much money we earn. Do you think Brother Xiaobei is short of money?"
Xiao Qing looked at Liu Rumei and shook her head slightly, "It's not a shortage, but it's definitely not as much as our Liu family."
"Yes, originally he could have enough food and clothing, but he is busy here in this small mountain village."
At this time, Xiao Qing said with a confused look, "That's right, miss, what do you think he wants?"
"What are you trying to do? Of course it's for peace of mind."
Xiaoqing won't understand after a while, just for peace of mind. What means.
However, Liu Rumei seemed to take it very seriously. She opened her cabinet, which was full of clothes. She took out one item, looked at it and put it down, and then took out another item, looked at it and then put it down.
Seeing her in such a dilemma, Xiao Qing couldn't help but said, "Miss, you are just going to teach a few villagers how to read. Why do you pay so much attention to it? I can teach them too."
Liu Rumei turned around, looked at Xiao Qing, and said very seriously, "This is not an easy task. You want all the villagers to learn it. Do you think you can do it?"
Xiaoqing was a little speechless after saying this. She was silent for a long time, and then she changed her smile and said, "Let's forget it. I didn't make Mr. mad to death when I was learning to read."
After saying that, both of them laughed.
When Chen Xiaobei returned home, Cui Hongyu had already taken Qiu Mei and others to prepare lunch. It could be seen that the amount of lunch was less than the previous two days.
Suddenly Chen Xiaobei snapped his head and came to his senses, yes. Chen Xiaowen took people to Jizhou to deliver cabbage, but they haven't come back yet.
Counting the days, today is already the fourth day. It stands to reason that it will take a few more days before I can come back.
They can come back in a few days, but the cabbage in the field cannot be left alone.
Chen Xiaobei thought for a while, then turned to the entrance of the village, where there were village guards on duty.
Seeing Chen Xiaobei coming, everyone greeted him warmly.
"Is there anyone delivering cabbage to the city and Xiaojia Town these days?"
The village guard nodded, "Yes, Xiaowen said that he had arranged it before he left. Someone will deliver it every day."
After hearing this, Chen Xiaobei felt at ease.
Although Chen Xiaowen is young, he is practical and well-organized. It seems that his worries are unnecessary.
Just like this, Chen Xiaobei suddenly realized a problem. If everything goes according to plan, he seems to have nothing to do. He has Chen Dayong to make charcoal and Chen Xiaowen to deliver cabbage.
It seems that I can be a hands-off shopkeeper.
Just as I was thinking about this, I heard the sound of horse hooves in front of me.
A group of people came from a distance.
