Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

Chen Weiguo took Ran Qiuye away. Since Liu Guozheng agreed, he would quickly use his connections to transfer her over. Also, Ran Qiuye needed to go back and ask her parents whether they were willing to teach in Hope New Village. In any case, it was better than staying idle at home. The most important thing was that there would be fewer troubles in the village and she wouldn't have to worry about being harassed by those so-called progressive young people.

Ran Qiuye and her parents coming to the village was a two-pronged approach, as they not only helped Chen Weiguo, but also solved the teacher problem for the village primary school.

Lou's mother had come to her more than once, asking her to resolve the issue of the school teachers as soon as possible. She couldn't let Lou Xiao'e and Chen Xiaolan go to teach while pregnant. The children in the school were very naughty, and she was afraid that they would get bumped into during the fight, and she would have no place to buy medicine to regret it by then.

Now that this problem has been solved, Mother Lou and Aunt Chen should be relieved and will stop nagging me.

"Guozheng, you're back just in time. How's the thing I told you about going?"

Now when they have nothing to do, Lou Xiao'e, Chen Xiaolan, and Wenxiu just stay under the trees in the West Hill and don't go anywhere else. The temperature here is neither too cold nor too hot, and there are no mosquitoes or the like. It is also extremely quiet, which is most suitable for pregnant women to rest.

Of course, Lou's mother and Chen's mother were also there, mainly to keep an eye on them, fearing that they were too young and didn't know the seriousness of the situation and might get hurt.

"Mom, it's done. The new teacher will be here in the next two days."

"Really?"

"Do I dare to joke about this?"

"That's good."

Both Lou's mother and Chen's mother were satisfied.

"Brother Zheng, who are you looking for?"

Lou Xiao'e asked in confusion, she couldn't find the person two days ago, but she got the job done as soon as she came back today.

"Weiguo is here today, didn't you know?"

"Yes, he came with his girlfriend, saying he wants to see you for something. The teacher you're talking about is not Chen Weiguo's girlfriend, right?"

"That's her. Didn't Weiguo think Ran Qiuye's workplace was too far away? So he wanted to come here to teach."

"That's just one person."

"And Ran Qiuye's parents, they are university professors, and have been unemployed at home for various reasons."

"Brother Zheng, what do you think of this unemployed man? Could it be that Ran Qiuye's family is not of good background?"

"We don't care what her family background is, as long as she has real talent and knowledge."

"Will it not bring us any trouble?"

"Who dares to cause trouble?"

"Hopefully."

"Okay, you guys chat, I'm going to go get some sleep."

There were only female comrades under the tree, and Liu Guozheng felt embarrassed to stay here all the time.

"Brother Zheng, don't leave yet."

Before Liu Guozheng left, Chen Xiaolan called him.

"what happened?"

"Brother Zheng, I heard from Xiao'e that you can also write songs."

"I can't say I can write a song, but I can hum a few lines."

Liu Guozheng really can’t write songs. He doesn’t even know some basic music knowledge and he usually hums songs that he liked in his previous life.

"Then why don't you write a school song for our school?"

"No, Chen Xiaolan, why do you have such an idea?"

Not to mention today's primary schools, even in the 21st century, there are few schools that have their own school songs.

"Brother Zheng, Xiaolan is right. Students sing the same few songs every day. They are tired of singing them."

Lou Xiao'e still supports Chen Xiaolan's idea. It has been nearly two years and she is really tired of it.

"Okay, let me try."

"It's not just a try, it's a must to write it down."

"Okay, I'll try my best."

This is really a bit difficult. I do remember a few songs in my mind and I have no problem writing them down, but I don’t know how to make music. It seems that I need a clone to help me solve this problem.

Liu Guozheng returned to the bedroom, closed the door and entered the second world directly.

After writing down the lyrics, let the clone solve the problem of music score.

As an omniscient clone, this little thing is easy to solve.

I just listened to Liu Guozheng singing it once and then got the music score.

Liu Guozheng selected four songs: 1: Autumn Wind Song, 2: Childhood, 3: When I Grow Up I Will Become You, 4: Children of the Summer Country.

(I won’t write the lyrics because it’s easy to infringe copyright. I’m not making money anyway, and if I get complained about, it won’t be worth it.)

In fact, Liu Guozheng often hums "Autumn Wind Song" when he has nothing to do. The lyrics are high-pitched and full, depicting the working people's happiness and joy over the autumn harvest. It is lively and emotional, and can be learned by children and used as a village song.

These four songs are all outstanding works in their respective eras and Liu Guozheng likes them very much.

The songs are all positive and uplifting, away from the kind of petty love stories, which is in line with this era.

Even if it gets circulated, no one can find fault with it, and some inappropriate parts in the lyrics have been modified.

In order not to shock the world too much, Liu Guozheng handed the music score to Lou Xiaoe, Chen Xiaolan and others on the morning of the next day. This also caused exclamations from the crowd. It was mainly because of this small matter. Liu Guozheng didn't want to drag it on for too long. If he solved it sooner, Lou Xiaoe and others would not bother him anymore.

In the morning, we also received Ran Qiuye's parents. After a deeper understanding, they both liked this place and expressed on the spot their willingness to come to Hope New Village to teach and stay here for the rest of their lives. They hoped that the village could solve their housing problem.

There is no shortage of houses in the village now, and a batch of them were specially built this year.

Liu Guozheng took the two of them to see an apartment. It was not large in area, with three tiled houses, a wing room on the east and west sides, and a small courtyard. It was originally prepared for teachers who could live in the village for a long time.

There are not many houses like this, because so far, only Ran Qiuye's parents are willing to stay in the village for a long time and are willing to contribute the rest of their lives to the village's education.

Of course, they only have the right to use these houses, not the ownership.

There are also some single rooms, double rooms and multi-person rooms in the village.

The single room is prepared for single teachers. After Ran Qiuye comes, if he doesn’t want to live with his parents, he can choose a house to live in.

Of course, a double room is prepared for couples. For example, when Xu Damao and Nan Yi brought their wives to the village to play, they lived in a double room. This so-called double room is actually two rooms with a partition wall in the middle, dividing it into a bedroom and a living room.

The multi-person room is also a room that sleeps four people. This is where the elderly in the village live. It's not that the accommodation environment for the elderly is bad, the main reason is that they are afraid of being lonely, and they also want to be together to take care of each other.

After the discussion in the morning, Erlang and Lao San went to help Ran's father and mother move in the afternoon.

What was unexpected was that the Ran family did not have many furniture or the like, but the most numerous items were various books. Everyone was amazed, because except in the village library, they had never seen one person with so many books.

In everyone's mind, Ran's father and mother were the most learned people they had ever met, simply because he had so many books in his family.

In the evening, a welcome dinner was held in the cafeteria for Ran Qiuye's family.

Once again, the family felt the simplicity and kindness of the villagers, and was filled with hope for their future life.
