After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

After the two of them discussed it, they prepared to go to the front yard.

Just when Bai Qingyun wanted to grab Bai Yi's collar again, he dodged quickly.

He waved his hand and declined politely: "Miss, I can just use Qinggong!"

Bai Qingyun didn't care at all. The weight of one more person or one less person really made no difference to him now.

This speed is still awesome!

Bai Yi was behind Bai Qingyun, and took a mouthful of "exhaust gas" mixed with the fresh smell of freshly unearthed potatoes.

Everything in the front yard had been almost ready, and the process of becoming a disciple had been simplified, so the whole process was completed within a stick of incense.

Bai Yi got down from the armchair and said to Yang Dashan, "I heard that you will be working in the government office tomorrow. Since you have nothing to do today, come with me to practice!"

Yang Dashan replied respectfully: "Yes, sir!"

After the two main characters who came to become apprentices left, Village Chief Yang felt a little embarrassed sitting on his chair.

His skin had been tanned over the years, and his face had many more wrinkles due to his age. Seeing his second son getting better and better, the old man's cheeks flushed with excitement.

Because of the many distractions mixed in with this expression, Bai's mother and Bai Qingyun did not realize Village Chief Yang's embarrassment at first.

It was Grandpa Bai who, because of their familiarity, said bluntly, "Come on, old man, just tell me what you want to say. Don't be like a woman and dither."

The two were used to exchanging swear words, and after they finished speaking, they were surprised to find that their daughter-in-law and granddaughter were still there. They blinked guiltily and looked away.

However, the only two "women" present didn't care about such a conversation, just like when they sometimes chat with their friends, they always use "gentlemen" or "men" instead.

Village chief Yang didn't expect to be spoken to so mercilessly, especially in front of the younger generation. His face, which had just eased, turned slightly red again.

Butler Xie was present and considerately added a cup of tea. Bai Qingyun looked over there: it looked a bit like a ripe tomato!

Bai's mother saw the embarrassment of Village Chief Yang and said, "Uncle, we are all family, just tell me what's the matter!"

Village chief Yang hesitated and looked at Bai's mother for a long time without saying a word.

However, everyone present saw this action. They didn't understand it at first, but after watching it for a long time, they figured it out.

Bai's mother sighed and asked Village Chief Yang, "How long will it take for the village's ancestral hall and private school to be completed?"

"The ancestral hall is almost finished, including the ancestral tablets. I asked some old guys in the village to redo it right now."

"The most important thing is the private school. Most of it has been built, and only the desks, chairs and benches inside the school are left."

"Mr. Lin is busy in the capital now. I was thinking that if it doesn't work out, I would replace the wooden tables and chairs with bamboo ones."

When talking about Carpenter Lin, Bai Qingyun was not in a hurry to speak.

After all, it is the concern of the whole village, but in the end only one person is tired. How can this be?

If they were to pay money or something, not to mention that these tables and chairs would be public property by then, Carpenter Yang's monthly salary from the shop alone would be enough to cover the wages.

Fortunately, Village Chief Yang has always been fair in his actions and will not use any merit or justice to force others.

Instead, he continued to talk on his own.

"This private school can be used by everyone in the future, and every family can send someone to work there."

"When the time comes, let some people cut bamboo, some people make it, and the rest do odd jobs."

Grandpa Bai and Grandpa Xie nodded in agreement. Although ordinary people did not understand carpentry work and the design of mortise and tenon structures, these professional things would be difficult for them to get started even if they understood them.

But who doesn’t know how to weave bamboo baskets?

Not to mention people far away, just take Grandpa Bai for example, the bamboo baskets and bamboo racks in the house were all woven by him.

It’s just that bamboo is not as strong and durable as wood.

But there are also many benefits to using bamboo that has been steamed and carbonized.

Bai Qingyun roughly calculated the time and asked, "Doesn't that mean that in a few days, the villagers can go to school!"

Village Chief Yang nodded and said, "Yes, after the potatoes in the village are harvested, I will gather everyone to start working."

"If it's fast, it can be completed in a few days, or if it's slow, it can be completed in half a month."

Village Chief Yang looked at Bai's mother as he spoke, and his meaning was self-evident.

Grandpa Bai wanted to give his daughter-in-law more time to think, so he continued, "When will the potatoes in this village be harvested?"

"I looked at it when I first came here. Combined with what was harvested yesterday and this morning, many families with small fields will probably be able to finish harvesting today."

"For those who plant more, it will probably take two or three days to finish. Yours is the one that has the most."

Harvesting potatoes is not like harvesting rice. You have to cut them one by one and then take them to a place to dry and thresh them.

The potatoes directly cut off the seedlings above, and with one hoe, a whole piece of soil was brought up.

The hardest part is squatting on the ground and putting potatoes into the bag one by one.

However, for those who have experienced manual rice harvesting, this kind of farm work is already easy.

Village Chief Yang said this, and did not forget to ask on behalf of the villagers: "By the way, will your family hire anyone?"

This question made Grandpa Bai choke, because he had never been in charge of the family's money.

I used to be a daughter-in-law, and now I am a daughter-in-law. I have no say on this issue.

He had enough strength to help in the fields, but his youngest son said that they had to hurry up with the cowshed work so that the cows could catch up with the rutting season. Maybe by this time next year, the family would have a calf.

Therefore, he and Lao Xie were left at home to do other work.

But the cowshed has been almost built, with only the middle partition wall left. I will sort out some details tomorrow and will be able to go to the fields to help the day after tomorrow.

When Village Chief Yang saw that the old man ignored him, he became furious. Just as he was about to pick up the pipe in his hand to curse, he was interrupted by Bai's mother who came out of her thoughts.

"Yes, I wanted to invite someone yesterday, but my mother and I decided that every household has to finish their own affairs, so we decided to wait for two days."

"What's more, the government officials said that the amount of silver they can lend out every day is limited. They can harvest the potatoes from dozens of acres of land in just one or two days, so the potatoes will just pile up anyway."

After hearing the answer, Village Chief Yang put the pipe back to his waist.

"That's right. Then wait until the others have finished collecting, then you can talk to them."

"You don't have to invite everyone. You have experience before and know who is more skilled."

"The potatoes are sold at a good price this year, so I don't think they would dare to say anything!"

Bai's mother was moved by Village Chief Yang's words, and the depression in her heart was mostly relieved.
