Chapter 41

After hearing what Lin Dashan said, Wang Hanwen was a little moved. The villagers are honest, and it is not bad to run a private school in the countryside, but how can he run a private school if he has no money and no house?

Wang Hanwen didn't hide it, and asked everyone this question directly.

He Zhengping heard Wang Hanwen's words and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, you are overthinking. If you want to run a private school, it is our Jiangjia Village's business. If you agree, just come and be a teacher. Don't worry."

Wang Hanwen never went to a private school. He was taught by an old gentleman at home since he was a child, so he didn't know about it.But now that he knew it, he felt more relieved.

Lin Dashan thought for a while and said, "The specifics of running a private school have to be discussed with Lizheng. Brother Wang, if possible, I will accompany you to discuss with Lizheng tomorrow morning."

Wang Hanwen nodded, such a major matter naturally only counts when Li Zheng said it.

Wang Hanwen's mind has always been flexible. During dinner, Lin Dashan told him about running a private school, and at night he began to think about it carefully.

It's good to be a teacher in a rich family in the county, but it depends on the person's face after all. The rich children may not be obedient if they are arrogant, and it's not easy to bring chess with them. But if you run a private school in the countryside, you must be respected and live with chess. Also convenient.

After careful comparison, he felt that it would be better to stay in Jiangjia Village and run a private school.But he won't stay in Jiangjia Village for a long time, so he has to talk to Lizheng about it.

The next day, Lin Dashan took Wang Hanwen to Jiang Feng's house.

As soon as Jiang Feng saw Lin Dashan and Wang Hanwen coming, he stood up to say hello, and seemed to respect Wang Hanwen very much.This made Wang Hanwen secretly satisfied, and felt that his plan was right.

Lin Dashan briefly told Lizheng about his reason for coming, and Lizheng was overjoyed when he heard it.

If you can set up a private school in the village and find a teacher to teach the children in the village to read some words, that would be the best thing.I am getting old, and maybe I will retire in two years. If I can set up a private school for the village while I am in power, it will be a great deed for the villagers.

Jiang Feng asked with a smile: "Mr. Wang, is this true? Hey, if it's true, then I will thank you on behalf of the people in our village."

Wang Hanwen nodded with a smile, "Jiang Lizheng, I have this idea, but since I still have to go to Hucheng to find relatives, this private school may not last long."

The enthusiasm in Lizheng's heart was dampened by Wang Hanwen's words. If it can only be taught for a period of time, what's the point?

Wang Hanwen told Lizheng what he had thought last night, "Jiang Lizheng, if I run a private school, I will probably stay in Jiangjia Village for a year or so. Although I can't teach many poems, books and scriptures, at least I can teach them. It is also good to teach students how to recognize a few words and do simple calculations.”

Li Zheng thought to himself that he wanted to be a farmer's family, not that he wanted to take the first prize in the imperial examination, as long as he could learn a little bit, he nodded and said, "What Mr. Wang said is that the private school is settled like this, I will We arranged with the elders in the village to set up this private school as soon as possible. However, if we are the only one in Jiangjia Village, there may be too few students, but it is estimated that children from other surrounding villages may also talk about it. Sir, I don’t think you will mind. "

Teaching a few more students can also earn more money. Naturally, Wang Hanwen would not refuse, "It's not a problem. Teaching one student is teaching, teaching two students is also teaching, and having a few more students will make it more lively."

The matter of running a private school has been settled in this way.Afterwards, Lizheng consulted with several elders in the village, found an old unoccupied house in the village, renovated it, and bought a few tables and chairs. Although it was simple, it looked like a private school.

Wang Hanwen didn't dislike it either.There is also a hut next to the school, because Lin Dashan's house is really crowded, and he is too embarrassed to live there, so he finds a bed and moves to the hut, and himself and Xiaoqi move there to live.

Of course, since neither of them knew how to cook, they still ate three meals a day at Lin's house.It's not for nothing, Wang Hanwen gives the Lin family fifty Wen a month.

There are not many families in Jiangjia Village who are willing and able to afford their children to go to school. There are about a dozen children in Jiangjia Village who come to private schools, but if you add the children from Wangjia Village, which is relatively affluent nearby, and several other villages, there are almost three. Forty students.When he is free, he can also draw some calligraphy and paintings and sell them in the county town for money, and his life can be regarded as settled down.

In a blink of an eye, it is the season of harvesting rice again.

The rice harvest of the Lin family is particularly good this year.The rice in the paddy fields is also golden yellow, and the heavy ears of rice bend the rice stalks.Looking at this scene, Lin Dashan was filled with the joy of a good harvest.

This time, Lin Dashan didn't ask his two elder brothers to help in harvesting rice.

Gu Qiu was pregnant, so naturally he couldn't get off the ground. Lin Yu'er also had a lot of housework, which was enough for him to keep busy.In addition, the last time we harvested wheat in the sun, the two brothers were so tired that they couldn't straighten their backs, and their mouths were blistered, which made Lin Dashan feel so distressed. After the rice was harvested, no matter what the two brothers in the family said to help, he just didn't agree.

Lin Dashan polished the sickle at home, went out early and returned late, and harvested all the rice in the field by himself, but he was also tired and lost two catties.Seeing this, Lin Yu'er felt very distressed, so she had to think of ways to cook him delicious food every day.Gu Qiu took over the job of drying the millet, which is easy, as long as it doubles every hour and pays attention to keeping the birds away.

Five hundred catties of rice, half of which is kept by the family, and the remaining half is transported to the county town to buy.Looking at the baskets of golden and plump wheat that were about to be transported to the county seat, Lin Dashan took Gu Qiu's hand and said happily: "I think fish are raised in the rice fields, and the rice harvest this year is better than previous years. Is it fish dung? It seems that we need to raise more fish next year.”

Seeing Lin Dashan's happy look, Gu Qiu felt very happy in his heart, nodded and said, "Because this is the first time this year, I kept a little less, only two hundred tails per mu. Mu can stock [-] tails, next year our family must raise more.”

The two talked as if they had seen the next year's harvest.

Lin Dashan drove a few animals—Jinhua—and carried grain to the county town to buy.

For some reason, Lin Dashan felt that driving Jinhua to the county town was different from driving other animals. He felt that the road was much more stable and less bumpy.Along the way, he was reluctant to go too fast, for fear of tiring his golden flower.

When I arrived in the county, I sold grain and bought a lot of things and came back.Last time Lin Dashan bought red dates, Gu Qiu liked them very much, this time I went to the county town to buy some more, but I didn’t buy much, the jujube trees in my yard have already produced a lot of fruit, and I can also lay down a lot when I go home Fresh dates come.

Back home, Lin Dashan handed over the money for selling grain to Gu Qiu.The last time I bought a cow, I spent six taels of silver, and the family had spent a lot of money. The two of them always felt a little uneasy, and now they finally got some more money.

In the evening, when He Zhengping came back, he brought back another piece of good news. His family's house was about to be built, and it would be completed tomorrow, and it would be ten days and a half months before they could move in.

"Really, such a big house was built so soon." Lin Yu'er was a little shocked. Now that she has lived with the He family for a long time, she feels a little empty when she thinks that they are about to move out.

"Yes, the main reason is that everyone worked so hard that the house was built so quickly." He Zhengping thanked the villagers who came to help with the work from the bottom of his heart.

Lin Dashan nodded. He also helped He's family with work before, so he naturally understood the situation.

"Dashan, I've lived in your house for a long time, and I feel very reluctant to move back soon. Alas, it's all because Gu Qiu and Yu'er are so good at cooking. I'm as good at cooking as Zhengping. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat after I go back. " Dr. He shook his head and said with a heartbroken face.

Both Gu Qiu and Lin Yu'er were amused by Dr. He's appearance.

"Doctor He, if possible, we can still deliver meals to you like before, or you can also come to my house to eat like Mr. Wang." Gu Qiu said with a smile.

"That's what it looks like, just come to your house once in a while for a meal, haha." Dr. He shook his head and said with a smile. He was obviously in a good mood today.

He Zhengping also nodded repeatedly, and echoed from the side.Suddenly thinking of something, He Zhengping turned his head to look at Lin Dashan and said, "Dashan, when the new house is completed, I want to invite people from the village to have a drink. I can't do it alone, so I still need your help."

Naturally, Lin Dashan would not refuse, and agreed with a smile.
