Village Flowers and Female Scholars

After Zhuang Shinan's family came back, cooking became a big problem. Zhuang Wan never touched Yangchun water with ten fingers, and Yu Po didn't want to cook for so many people. It was impossible to eat separately. Zhuang Shinan would never allow this kind of What's more, when he came back this time, he just wanted to get closer to his mother and honor the old man, and what it would be like to eat separately, so these days, the family's meals have been arranged by Li.

How can Mrs. Li, who is used to living a good life in the city, can't bear such a life, but her husband wants to stay at home with the old man, if she opens her mouth, she is afraid that she will be scolded again, so she has to hold back her anger, counting the days and looking forward to it. It's good to go back in two months.

Li Shi and Yu Po have always been at odds, and now she has to cook and serve the elderly every day, and she feels even more aggrieved in her heart. Although she dare not speak rudely, her attitude still reveals her dissatisfaction.

Granny Yu is not a soft persimmon, if Mrs. Li dares to provoke her, she will push back straight away. As long as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are together, they will be full of gunpowder.

Zhuang Shinan didn't feel comfortable being caught in the middle. He didn't understand why his daughter-in-law couldn't bear it for two months, but she was also his wife after all. No matter how much he scolded him during the day, he would have to coax him when he went back to the house at night, but during the day Get up and repeat yesterday's situation.

On this day, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a quarrel again, and neither of them wanted to sit at the table when it was time to eat, and there was a rhythm in which one would sit at the table and the other would not eat. Zhuang Shinan watched the scenes that happened on time every day, only Feeling her head buzzing, she looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who had a bad aura in the room, sighed and said to Zhuang Wan: "I heard that the rice noodles made by the Xie family noodle shop are delicious, Zhuang Wan, take me to have a look."

Zhuang Tianrui at the side heard that he was going to eat noodles, so he stood up excitedly and wanted to go with him, but Zhuang Shinan stared back at him.

Zhuang Wan turned her head to look at Granny Yu, and then followed her uncle out of the house without saying a word.

The atmosphere along the way was a bit dignified, and Zhuang Wan was not a good talker. If Zhuang Shinan didn't ask her, she kept her mouth shut and followed slowly.

When they arrived at the restaurant, seeing that it was Zhuang Shinan who came to the door, Shi quickly greeted him. The people in the same village, although he had been in the county all these years, were old acquaintances and asked him what he wanted to eat?

Zhuang Shinan didn't know what was delicious, so Zhuang Wan decided to order it for him.

After the two of them sat down, Zhuang Shinan took the first sip of the powder, the original expression on his face changed, he took a second sip, and then said calmly: "It's not bad as rumored, not bad."

Zhuang Wan knew that her uncle had always been stubborn, and now getting him a good word was already the greatest compliment, Zhuang Wan felt honored, and the expression on her face softened a lot.

While the uncle and nephew were eating noodles, a grey-haired old man came to the door, but he looked hale and hearty, although his left foot was a little bit sloped, but it didn't affect his bookish look at all. Aunt Hua greeted her, she seemed to be an old and regular customer.

The old man sat down with the powder, just sitting next to the two of them, raised his head but couldn't help but stop for a while when he saw Zhuang Wan, but then lowered his head to eat, and didn't look at them again after that.

Zhuang Shinan's expression on the side changed, and he said to Zhuang Wan who hadn't finished eating the noodles: "Slowly, hurry up and go home before you finish eating."

Zhuang Wan didn't know why the uncle's face changed again, especially after the old man glanced over, he became suspicious, but thinking that he was leaving in a few days, she endured it and put down her chopsticks before finishing eating Just follow him out the door.

When they got home, only Li's mother and son were still eating. Zhuang Wan knew where Granny Yu had gone without even thinking about it, so she turned around and followed her out the door.

Behind her, Mrs. Li looked at her back and sneered: "When I went back to the countryside, no one brought me up. Now at this age, I still don't know the etiquette and don't know how to shout when I see people. I don't come home all the time. What is it like?"

Mrs. Li scolded the two of them with one sentence, Zhuang Wan heard it just as she walked to the door, but she was too lazy to argue with her, and left without looking back.

Zhuang Shinan was in a bad mood when he came back from the restaurant. Seeing that Zhuang Wan had left, his mother-in-law pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, so he was furious and scolded: "every day, since you came, the house has been in chaos. , Mom doesn’t even want to stay at home anymore, what do you do as a daughter-in-law, if word spreads that I, Zhuang Shinan, and my wife drove my old mother out of the house, you think I have no face to show people.”

After being scolded like this, Mrs. Li immediately became angry: "You know that I am not getting along with your mother, but you insist on forcing us mother and son to stay here to serve her, and then blame me for the crime. It seems that you have done nothing wrong."

Zhuang Shinan was furious when he heard the words, Zhuang Tianlei hurriedly stepped forward to appease his father to calm down his anger, and by the way asked his daughter Niuniu to come forward to beat his grandfather's back.

Here, Zhuang Wan went to Xie Yan's house, and sure enough, Granny Yu was having dinner with the three of them, mother and son, with a smile on her face that looked as if she had just had a quarrel with Mrs. Li at home, blushing and thick-necked.

Seeing Zhuang Wan coming, Cao E hurriedly asked her to sit down and eat. Zhuang Wan always eats slowly, and she was called away by Zhuang Shinan just after eating half in the restaurant. Fan came over and sat beside Xie Yan.

Xie Yan picked up a big chicken leg for her and said, "Fortunately, I didn't eat it, otherwise you would be gone when you came."

Xie Yuangu hurriedly stretched out his head and said, "Sister, you eat, I will give my big chicken leg to Sister Wan'er."

Xie Yan reached out and knocked him on the head and said, "Why, you still want to learn from Kong Rong and give up pears, so I won't give you this chance."

Zhuang Wan also smiled and comforted him, "I'll eat your sister's food, Gu'er eat well and grow taller."

It was the first time Xie Yan heard Zhuang Wan say the word duplication, and felt that she had lost her usual indifferent appearance and became more lively, and couldn't help liking her a little more.

After dinner, Po Yu went to talk to Cai Chu at the construction site of the house. The specifications of the new house were not as simple as the old one. It took more than ten days just to dig the foundation. Good house, bring a meal at noon and continue to work, this will be yelling and carrying stones in the back and doing it in full swing.

Zhuang Wan and Xie Yan talked about seeing the old man in the restaurant earlier, Cao E came over and heard it just after washing the dishes, and asked: "It's Mr. Zhao who has a leg and foot disease, he does it every day. Come to our restaurant to eat noodles. Sometimes we just open the door when we come in the morning, and sometimes we also settle here for lunch. It seems that I like our rice noodles very much. I heard Mrs. Gao chatting with him. After the exercise, I went to participate in Chunwei. I fell off the horse and hurt my legs and feet. I missed the test. After my legs and feet were injured, I couldn’t continue to refer to them. Later, I didn’t know why I got married with Zhao Wang. Zhao Wang invited him to the mansion to give to the mansion The young master taught and enlightened, and now he is old enough to return to his hometown to take care of him, and his family is in the village past Ningxikou."

When Zhuang Wan heard the name of King Zhao, she immediately relaxed and said, "Students like us often hear about this old gentleman's name, but we haven't met before."

Cao E said again: "Then Mr. Zhao wants to open a private school when he has nothing to do, but there are not many families in his village, and even two or three children can't form a class, so this matter has been delayed."

Zhuang Wan and Xie Yan looked at each other, Xie Yan said: "The children in our village don't go to school now, if he wants to teach, he can teach the children in our village together."

Cao E looked at Zhuang Wan at the side and said: "Isn't there Wan'er in our village to teach, besides, the children in our village can't go all the way to their village."

"Ningxikou is in the middle of our two villages. We can build a school at Ningxikou. We are not far from Ningxikou, and we are also close to other villages. There is such a master who comes to teach, and the people in the village If you find out, don’t rush to send the child here, when the time comes, we, Gu’er, will also send it over.”

"As for Wanwan, she's going to take the township examination next year, so she won't have time to teach the children."

"Wan'er is going to take the exam next year?" Cao E said in astonishment, "I didn't hear Granny Yu say that."

"You haven't told Granny Yu this time, so please don't tell anyone else." Thinking of Zhuang Wan's uncle's attitude, Xie Yan hastily reminded her mother.

Seeing their mother busy with other things, Xie Yan and Zhuang Wan decided to talk to Cai Chu about this matter.

After hearing what they said, Cai Chu looked at Zhuang Wan for a long time before saying, "That depends on whether Master Zhao agrees or not. Besides, if we set up a school at the mouth of Ningxi, the house is easy to talk about. Let the villagers help to build it for a few days." It’s not a big problem to build two or three houses. Whoever doesn’t have children going to school, even if they don’t have them now, they will have them in the future. Farmers don’t spare their efforts, but everyone can’t pay for the land.”

Xie Yan is not worried about the money to buy the land. The land for a few houses doesn’t cost much, and it’s only a few taels of silver. Even if Master Zhao doesn’t want to pay, she can pay. After all, it tastes good because of the patronage of people in the past. With so much money earned, it is not difficult to donate two or three taels of silver to start a school.

Xie Yan thinks that she is also a leader in getting rich in the countryside. Since being a leader can't be selfish enough to be a miser, in places like this in ancient times, silver is just a pile of stones. The more money you earn, the more you spend it on useful things Only in this way can she show her value, but picking and searching is not her character.

However, she didn't want to take care of the school affairs. She would come forward if necessary, and she had to discuss it with Master Zhao before making a decision. Maybe he didn't want help from others at all.

"I'm not free tonight," Cai Chu said, "We'll talk to Mr. Zhao tomorrow and see what he thinks."

Xie Yan nodded, talked to Granny Yu, who was chatting happily with Lao Zhangtou, and then pulled Zhuang Wan away.

"The fish fry put in the field two months ago are growing well now, let's go and have a look."

Zhuang Wan had nothing to do, the two walked towards the edge of the field arm in arm.

The breeding cycle of rice flower fish is relatively short, usually between four and six months, and it must be harvested before the autumn harvest. The large ones can grow to more than one catty, and the normal half catty to one catty can be sold outside. To twenty or thirty renminbi, under normal circumstances, one mu of land can harvest more than 100 catties of fish, which can earn two or three taels of silver, which is a very considerable income for the farmer's family.

Xie Yan looked at the fish swimming in the field and said, "When the harvest comes in August, people from the village will definitely come to see it. Next year, most of our village will be able to raise rice flowers and fish."

Zhuang Wan looked at her sweaty forehead under the sun and said softly, "Jin'er, those people in our village treated you so well back then, are you still willing to make them rich?"

Xie Yan heard the words, turned her head and said: "I'm not a saint, I will definitely remember those who treat me badly, as for those who follow the trend and misunderstand me, I don't have the time to care about them - so the school needs to be set up, learn from saints Only with knowledge can we think broadly and see far, so that we will not be as ignorant as their parents."
