The reborn little painting treasure had a great time in the 1960s

Feng Siyan looked at the man with a frosted face and asked, "Old man, judging from your appearance and temperament, you and the villagers don't seem to be born and raised here! I wonder how you ended up here and finally chose to settle here?"

The clan leader sitting at the side narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the rolling mountains in the distance. After a pause, he sighed softly and then continued, "Back then, our ancestors were the famous dragon-guarding clan! However, with the decline of that dynasty, the whole world fell into endless wars.

Just two years before the establishment of the New Xia Kingdom, my grandfather and great-grandfather led the entire family to migrate, and after going through untold hardships they arrived at this desolate land. They cut through thorns and bushes, reclaimed wasteland, built houses, and worked hard to achieve self-sufficiency.

After settling us down, the two elders resolutely joined the battle to defend their country. Unfortunately, they both died on the battlefield later, but fortunately, the war was eventually won and peace came.

After the war, we survivors could have left this place, but after experiencing too many life and death separations, we were tired of the hustle and bustle of the outside world and just wanted to live quietly in this isolated land.

So many years have passed, no matter what changes have happened outside, we have never been affected in the slightest. Even during the upsurge of going to the countryside to work, no one was assigned to work here. To be honest, it was mainly because this place was too poor and backward, and there was nothing attractive at all.

Leaders, old guys like us have gone through all the ups and downs in our lives and we don’t have too many extravagant demands for material conditions, but children are different. They are in a critical stage of growth and learning. All the knowledge they can learn now depends on the teaching of us, the older generation.

When my generation grows old and passes away, my people in this village will probably become illiterate or ignorant and reckless people!" The old patriarch said as he wiped away tears.

Feng Siyan patted his hands gently and asked calmly, "If that's the case, why didn't you choose to report to the higher authorities?"

The elderly clan leader nodded slightly, and replied with a somewhat helpless look, "We have already reported it, but the town leaders are also in a dilemma. We are located in a remote mountainous area with extremely inconvenient transportation. It is simply a fantasy to build a school here.

Even if we manage to build a school, I'm afraid no teacher would be willing to teach in this remote place. Besides... well, because of this, our small village has become a difficult problem that gives the leaders a headache. All they can do is to distribute some relief food to us on time and in the right amount every year. "

Hearing this, Feng Siyan and Tang Hua couldn't help but look at each other. They understood each other and seemed to have read something in each other's eyes.

Then, Feng Siyan looked at the old patriarch with a firm gaze and said slowly, "Old man, if I were to find a place for you to live outside the town and divide up the farmland for you to farm, would you be willing to accept it?"

Before he finished speaking, the old patriarch, who was sitting firmly in his chair, stood up suddenly with excitement. He stared at Feng Siyan with wide eyes in disbelief, and said in a voice that trembled slightly with excitement, "Is this... is this really true? Leader, everything you said just now is absolutely true, right? If you can really act like this, then you will undoubtedly become a great benefactor of our entire Zhang family!"

Tang Zhao smiled and said kindly, "It's okay, old man. We came from the town and there was a fork in the road. One road goes this way, and the other road leads to several villages over there. There is a large flat and open area at the foot of the mountain next to them! The area is not smaller than your place!

Moreover, the villages are quite close to each other, and there are schools there! This way, it will be much more convenient for everyone to go to the town to do things in the future, and the journey will only take about an hour.

How about this, you all discuss it carefully first, and if you all agree, then take advantage of the autumn harvest season and hurry up to harvest all the crops in the fields.

After that, we will help you divide the land, plan the homestead, build the house, and so on as soon as possible. When everything is arranged, you can move into your new home directly! Then we will reclaim the barren land, and after the spring of next year, you can sow and cultivate crops immediately. "

Hearing this, the old patriarch was immediately very excited. His hands were shaking slightly, and he said with a choked voice: "Oh my! We have finally come to a happy ending after all the hardships! Now, the children can finally learn to read and write, and have a promising future! Comrade, don't worry! The day after tomorrow I will be able to count the housing conditions of every household. But... I wonder if we can make a small request of you?"

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the excited old man, waiting expectantly for him to continue speaking. The patriarch couldn't help feeling nervous and awkward as he was stared at by so many people with such passionate eyes.

However, he still took a deep breath, mustered up the courage and said: "Actually... I just want to ask you to help build a small ancestral hall for our village. We have always hoped to move our ancestors out of that dilapidated place and place them in a new ancestral hall for worship."

Feng Siyan nodded slightly to show his agreement.

Then he said methodically: "No problem, but before that, you need to count the specific population of each household in the village. According to the current living conditions, we will build as many houses for you as there are households. Of course, in addition to these residences, there will also be a small ancestral hall.

As for the children's schooling, I will take care of it after I return. As for the other aspects, it depends on the efforts of the villagers! The autumn harvest here will last at least a week, right? How about this, in ten days my people will come to complete the handover of related matters with you. At that time, we will also properly arrange personnel and prepare vehicles to assist with the moving matters. "

After hearing this, the clan leader's face instantly broke out into an ecstatic smile. He nodded hurriedly like a chick pecking at rice, and kept agreeing, "Okay, okay! No problem, leave it to me!" He looked so eager and flattering, as if he was afraid that the other party would go back on his word.
