Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Gu Huanxi carried her daughter into the west room. After feeding her, she called Gu Xiaoyu and asked them to play on the fire bed while she went back to work in the kitchen.

Two tables have been prepared for lunch today, and there is a lot of cooking to do.

Near noon, villagers came to the door one after another. They were all familiar with Xu Huaiyi. They smiled sincerely and gave sincere greetings. Gao Zhuang and Liu Xiuwen came earlier. At this time, one was busy greeting and the other was busy taking notes. After all, in comparison, Meng Erzhu and Xu Huaixiao were a bit out of their depth. One of them was honest and the other was down-to-earth. It was difficult for them to welcome the person they were sent to. Even Xu Changsong was at a disadvantage.

But fortunately, they are all young people and there are not so many rules. Sitting together, drinking tea and chatting, it is not a lonely moment.

The atmosphere at the older table was even more lively, and everyone gathered around Xu Huaiyi asking questions. Even Village Chief Xu and Xu Maoyuan had already asked them before, and they were still very excited, as if they couldn't get enough.

The fourth uncle was also there. He was the oldest and took the main seat. "Huai Yi, is Shu Xiu enough? If you don't want to help, just tell the clan."

Xu Maoyuan quickly agreed, "Yes, Huaiyi, if you have any difficulties in studying, just tell me, don't hide it, I won't be able to help you with other things, so you can still scrape together some money."

The fourth uncle added, "If you need manpower, pick a few smart and diligent people to help you run errands and so on."

Xu Huaiyi hurriedly declined with a smile, "No, fourth uncle, no one is allowed in the academy. Everything is done by myself. You and your uncle have taken it in stride. As for Shu Xiu, it is enough. If my great-nephew comes one day, If you don't join forces, you will definitely open your mouth to the clan and you will not be polite."

The fourth uncle nodded and thought, although Xu Huaiyi's words were very beautiful, he might not tell the clan if something happened. After all, the identity of the son-in-law who came to the door still separated him from the clan. .

When the dishes were served on the table, no one could talk anymore.

Sauce elbow, sweet and sour fish, braised lamb, dry fried pork, fried lotus root box...the hard dishes are all delicious in color, flavor and taste, and they are not inferior to the craftsmanship in the restaurant.

Xu Huaiyi greeted him warmly, and after a few glasses of wine, his face glowed red.

The others were also in a good mood. Every time they came back to Gu's house for dinner, they were never disappointed. Today was especially rich and satisfying.

After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Xu Huaiyi came up with the topic of setting up a school in the village, "I think we should set up one. There are quite a few children in our village now. From the age group of five to twelve or thirteen, I estimate there are seven Eighty, right? The adults in the family are busy working to make money, so no one cares about them. They play around all day long. This is not a problem. They should stay in school and learn something. "

Unexpectedly, the first person to agree with his proposal was the village chief Hu, "It's a good thing to set up a school. I have no objection. There is idle land in the village. If one person from each household comes, we can do it in ten or eight days." If we can build a house and buy the bricks and tiles, we can all pool together, I am willing to contribute five taels."

Five taels of silver is definitely not a small amount.

Dr. Jiao expressed his opinion for the second time, "I also offer five taels."

Village Chief Xu was secretly annoyed that he was a step behind. It wasn't that he disagreed, but he just heard Xu Huaiyi say this out of the blue and didn't respond. "I also support it. On behalf of the entire Xu family, I will pay ten taels."

He is the head of the Xu family, so it is most suitable for him to take the lead, and he can also collect money from other families.

When Xu Maoyuan saw this, of course he couldn't stay out of the matter. He glanced at his fourth uncle, frowned at the lawsuit, and on behalf of the Xu family, he gritted his teeth and made a decision.

As for the Gao family and the Liu family, they don't have as many people as these two families, and they pay five taels.

By this time, the total amount of money from several families was forty taels. If we only built three houses, this money would be enough. However, to run a school, it is not just a house, but also tables and chairs, which are the most expensive. Please sir.

Xu Huaiyi took over the matter.

The head of Hu Village also recommended a nephew who was a few houses away from him. He was also very talented when he was studying. However, after he passed the examination to become a scholar, he accidentally injured his foot and walked faster. It can be seen that he is lame and disabled, so he can no longer take part in the imperial examination, and can only end up in despair. He also went to other schools to become a master, but then something happened in the village, and it gained an unlucky reputation. The village refused to use him anymore. In the past few years, he could only stay at home and farm, while teaching several children of Hu's family, wasting time in vain.

Xu Huaiyi thought it was a good fit, and he wasn't worried about the other party's knowledge or conduct. Since Village Chief Hu dared to say this, he was confident that he would satisfy everyone, otherwise, his face would still be damaged.

The matter was settled in this way and was handed over to Village Chief Hu. Village Chief Xu and Xu Maoyuan had no objections. Although they were worried about it, at the moment, they all had work to do and they really couldn't spare any time. After all, Village Chief Hu is the village chief of Hutian Village, and he is the most justified.

There was no dispute about this matter from beginning to end, and it couldn't have been smoother.

After saying this, the fourth uncle also casually mentioned the matter of building a temple. It doesn't have to be big, even just one room, as long as it can house the Buddha statue and give everyone a place to burn incense and worship.

As soon as everyone heard that he chose the location where the Buddha's light shone, they all immediately understood his intention and plan to build the temple.

After looking at each other for a while, they both thought this was a good idea.

Village Chief Xu habitually asked Xu Huaiyi, "What do you think?"

Xu Huaiyi touched his nose and felt a little guilty, but he pretended to think about it seriously, "I don't think it's impossible, but we don't understand."

The fourth uncle was fair, "We don't understand, but the master of Baoling Temple understands. I think you have a good relationship with him. Why don't you ask him to give us some advice?"

Xu Huaiyi laughed dryly and said, "That was before, now Master Huixin can't just meet him if he wants to..." After a pause, seeing everyone's disappointed expressions, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "But, I can go and give it a try. "

The fourth uncle suddenly said excitedly, "Okay, okay..."

Two major events were decided at once, and one can imagine how excited everyone was.

It wasn't until Shen time that the banquet dispersed.

Everyone had enough to eat and drink, and everyone who needed to ask questions was asked, and they left with satisfaction.

Xu Huaiyi drank too much and fell asleep on the kang after entering the west room.

Gu Huanxi was worried that he would feel uncomfortable, so she didn't dare to leave, so she stayed by the side, but her hands were not idle, and she made him a bedding according to the size of the dormitory bed that Xu Huaiyi said.

When the sky darkened, Xu Huaiyi woke up, rubbed his brows, and murmured, "I won't dare to drink so much again in the future. It's so miserable..."

Gu Huanxi snorted softly, showing his disbelief.

Xu Huaiyi took a few sips of tea and felt more comfortable, but he still leaned on the bedside with a lazy look on his face and didn't want to move. There were only the couple of them and their daughter in the room, so there was no need to be taboo about talking, "Daughter-in-law, you know Did I get any information from Doctor Jiao?"
