"Is there any news?" Feng Shengrong stepped forward and asked with concern on his face.
Han Shuxian looked at the pretentious Feng Shengrong, tightly squeezed his fists about to swing forward, and after holding on for a long time, he said calmly: "Not yet, but I will find it eventually." Finally, he gritted his teeth and said: "But if I find out who kidnapped Wanwan, I will definitely beat his muscles and skin him." He looked at Feng Shengrong without blinking as he spoke.
Feng Shengrong felt guilty after being stared at by Han Shuxian, and looked away, "You must be punished well."
"But there is no need for me to take action. The imperial court hates human traffickers. Once I catch them, I will send them to the Yamen."
"Whether it's the previous dynasty or ours in Dafeng, beheading and exile are not minor crimes. Maybe the whole family will die during the exile. Tsk tsk, it's miserable just thinking about it! This is much worse than beating someone up. Don't get your hands dirty." After Han Shuxian finished speaking, he walked towards the exit of the academy.
After leaving the academy, Han Shuxian strode towards the village. After entering the village, he did not go home, but went to the home of village chief Li You.
As I approached the road outside Li Youdi's yard, I saw Li Youdi chopping firewood in his yard with an axe. When he reached the door of the yard, he shouted, "Brother Youdi!"
Li Youdi turned his head and saw that Han Shuxian had walked into the yard, "Shuxian is here!"
"I'm here to talk to Brother Youdi about something!" Han Shuxian walked up to Li Youdi and said.
"What's the matter? Tell me, I'm listening!" Li Youdi struck the ax hard on the tree trunk under his hand and then did not take it off to continue chopping. Instead, he stood up straight and was ready to listen to Han Shuxian's words.
"Brother Youdi, if you can spare some time, can we go inside and talk slowly? If you are busy, I can come back at another time." Han Shuxian saw that he was going to stand in the yard and talk to him. If two or three In short, it doesn't matter, but the construction of the school and the expansion of the workshop still need to be explained. Besides, there are people coming and going at the entrance of the courtyard. Things are not settled yet, and the whole city is in trouble. This is not what he does. style.
Li Youdi said awkwardly: "If you have time, if you have time, let's talk in the house."
"Please come inside!" Li Youdi clapped his hands covered with sawdust and stretched out his hand to guide Han Shuxian.
When Li Youdi entered the room, he was about to greet Han Shuxian and pour him some water, but Han Shuxian stopped him, "Brother Youdi, you're welcome. We'll have a drink to celebrate when things are settled. Let's put this glass of water aside. It’s important to talk about things.”
"But what good thing can happen?" Li Youdi sounded like something good had happened.
Han Shuxian: "I said before that I was going to build a school in the village. I think everyone is not very busy now, so why not start building it at this time, and it will be ready for use by next spring, and then the children in the village will also be able to use it. Go to school to study."
Li Youdi stood up excitedly when he heard about Xiuxuetang, "But is it true?"
"Of course it's true." Han Shuxian saw Li Youdi standing up excitedly, "Brother Youdi, sit down and let's talk slowly."
"Oh, good, good!" Li Youde sat down, "I'm just so happy."
Schools in the county are too expensive. If there is a school in the village, everyone can still afford it by paying for a teacher. In short, if the village has its own school, it will definitely be much cheaper than in the county. Even if not everyone can come to study, But it's better than what it is now. Now I only have two children in the school.
Li Youdi couldn't help but frown when he thought of the two children's care. If their mother hadn't gone to work in the workshop, she might not be able to support them now.
After Li Youdi sat down, Han Shuxiancai continued, "I will provide the money to build the school, but this person has to ask Brother Youdi to help with the arrangements, so that everyone's efforts will not be in vain. Every day, three The salary of ten cents covers two meals, lunch and dinner."
"How can this work! No, no, no! You pay and everyone contributes. You can't be asked to pay for everything. Isn't this obviously going to make you suffer! If someone doesn't want to contribute, and the school is repaired in the future, their children will not want to come to the school to study. ." Li Youdi firmly disagreed with letting Han Shuxian do everything. He couldn't do such a shameless thing.
He has already taken advantage of it, and everyone hasn't done anything, and he feels ashamed just talking about it.
"Brother Youdi, don't worry. This time we need to build more than just the school. My workshop also needs to be expanded. Build the workshop first. Luncheon meat and roast duck can no longer be supplied to three restaurants. The restaurants are urging me to deliver more every day. It’s really hard to delay it any longer.”
"It's better to build the workshop first, making money is more important." Li Youdi immediately answered, building the school will cost money, so what if you don't make more money?
"Although making money is important, studying is also important. I originally planned to go to school first, but yesterday when the owner of Jingli Restaurant sent Wan Wan back, he asked us to make more luncheon meat and roast duck. We owe him such a big debt. I can't refuse the favor anymore, so I thought I'd better build the workshop first." Han Shuxian explained a few words.
"This is a big favor. Don't worry. I will keep an eye on you every day while the workshop is being repaired. Make sure they are not lazy and let them repair it as soon as possible so that they can make more luncheon meat and roast duck." Li Youde promised.
"Then I would like to thank Brother Youdi first. After the workshop is repaired, I will select some people in the village to work in the workshop. If Brother Youdi has any good manpower, you can tell me."
"Okay, then I will help you select some down-to-earth people from our village."
"Also, after the village school is completed, I will invite suitable teachers to teach you, and you will not need to pay tuition. However, one thing is that anyone who wants to come to the school to study must pass my assessment. Only if he passes the assessment can he enter. In the future, you must obey the school's arrangements. If you are dissatisfied with the discipline and arrangements, you will find another place to study. I will list these in the school's regulations."
There were not many children in the village, and Shu Xiu couldn't charge much for taking them in. It was better to help them to the end and not charge them at all, which would also make them remember how good the Han family and the Mo family were to them.
Li Youdi never thought that such a good thing would happen to him, and he would not have to pay for his studies. If so, Guangming and Guangming would not have to go to the county to study, and their family would be able to save a lot of money. I think it's too much of an advantage to the Han family, but the school hasn't been built yet, so I don't worry about it.
As for what Han Shuxian said about the entrance examination and rules, Li Youdi didn't take it to heart at all. Not only did he not take it to heart, he also felt that it should be done, "There should be an assessment. If the disobedient child is not allowed to enter, he will definitely not be allowed in." School, didn’t you come in here to cause trouble?”
Han Shuxian didn't care whether he was obedient or not. In the future, Wanwan would teach, and everyone had to be able to accept this. If he even gossiped, he wouldn't let him into the school. He didn't want to spend money and be gossiped behind his back in the future.
After discussing the repair workshop and the repair school, Han Shuxian did not delay any more. He stood up and said goodbye to Li Youdi before heading home.
In the Mo family, after Mo Ziwan and Murong Qingyuan returned home, Murong Qingyuan talked to everyone for a while and then went to read by himself. Mo Ziwan wanted to spend more time with her grandma and keep talking with her.
"Grandma, why did you let grandpa go to the ground again?" Mo Ziwan complained, "Grandpa hasn't had a good rest these days. He should take more rest at home. What if he is not in good health?"
Song Nanzhi tapped Mo Ziwan's forehead, "You have to worry about it all day long. You are busy all day long and have never had a good rest! Why don't you rest more at home?"
"I haven't done any strenuous work, I'm not tired! Grandpa and grandma are tired!" Mo Ziyuan shook her head and said that she was not tired, and she was not tired at all. Although she studied in school every day, there were no endless exams in her studies. , and there is no pressure to go to higher education. Even teaching children in the village to read does not take much effort. At most, it only takes some time.
"Why aren't you tired? Look at the children in the village who are just a little bit older than you. They either sit and read in the school all day long, or they sit at home and teach them how to read. None of them are running around the village playing or rolling on the ground. , you see, you play every day and don’t even want to go home, but you are so busy every day that you don’t even want to leave the house.”
Song Nanzhi also knew that it was a good thing to be able to study, but seeing his granddaughter working so hard every day, he was also worried about her health.
Mo Ziwan blinked and said mischievously: "I am a little lady, I can't play crazy like them."
At this time, Mrs. Du brought over a plate of deep-fried red sweet potato cakes. She happened to hear Mo Ziwan's words and answered with a smile: "Our Ziwan is not only a little lady, but also a talented girl."
After praising Mo Ziwan, she put the plate in front of Mo Ziwan.
There was also a pair of chopsticks on it, "Little lady, try the braised pancakes I just fried, do you like it?"
Mo Ziyuan picked up the chopsticks and said thank you before picking up a piece and feeding it to Song Nanzhi first. "Aunt Du's fried red sweet potato cakes must be delicious. Grandma will eat them first."
Song Nanzhi said angrily: "You kid, you eat what you have. I'm not a kid, and I don't eat snacks."
Of course Mo Ziyuan would not listen to her words, "If grandma doesn't eat it, Aunt Du will think you are dissatisfied with the fact that her fried food is not delicious. Eat it quickly, Aunt Du is watching."
Mrs. Du burst out laughing after hearing this, "Auntie, you'd better eat quickly, otherwise Wanwan's little mouth will open and she won't know what nice things to say again!"
Song Nanzhi opened his mouth and swallowed the red potato cake fed by Mo Ziyuan into his mouth, "You are the only one who is wrong."
After Mo Ziyuan fed Song Nanzhi, she also took a piece and put it into her mouth. While eating, she said, "It's delicious. The red potato cake made by Aunt Du is sweet and crispy. It's extremely delicious." qs
Du Shi's smile deepened when she was praised by Mo Ziwan, "We, Wen Wan, have read a lot, and we have a lot of good things to say!"
Song Nanzhi looked at his little granddaughter, "She doesn't like anything but just likes to read. When she couldn't speak, she liked to listen to her godfather read to her. When she could talk, she started to learn to read from his godfather."
"I'm glad that our Wanwan can read and has a flexible mind, otherwise we wouldn't be able to think of a good way to escape. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to recognize the way out." Mrs. Du said with emotion after hearing Song Nanzhi's words.
"No, we don't know a lot of Chinese characters, we can't recognize anything, and if we don't say we can't find the way, we might actually be sold by someone and count the money for them." Song Nanzhi also sighed with emotion.
In the past, she was used to being a fan, and she could do whatever she liked, but this time she really felt that studying was good. If she didn't study, how would she know the way and find "diners"? Moreover, she could make more money by copying books than by growing crops. Get more money.
"Let Yumei learn some words when she has time, so that it will be easier to go out in the future!"
"Grandma is absolutely right. All the children in our family must be able to read so that they won't be deceived when they go out. From now on, sister Yumei's literacy will be left to sister Moli and eldest brother, just to test them."
Du's eyes were sore, and tears welled up in her eyes. She never thought that she would meet such a good family. She knelt down on the ground and said with a choked voice, "Thank you, Auntie, thank you, Miss Wanwan."
