"Of course it's true. I' m just hanging around right now. I don' t know where to cultivate the school. You' re also helping the staff to advise. The place should be big enough ..."
"Uncle, I kowtowed to you on behalf of the entire clan's young and old! "
Li zheng immediately knelt down. He had been a smart kid since he was young, but his family was poor and he barely learned a few words. Go out to work, at home parents are seriously ill, a lot of younger brothers and sisters to take care of, but a lifetime of nesting in the village, seize the opportunity to be a small li zheng.
His mind was focused on the village and he was pondering how to make his children live a life less miserable than he did.
Previously, his uncle and his family had spent money and effort to run a family school and find someone to teach Wu Yi. Now, they were going to open a school and renovate the ancestral hall. This was something he had never dreamed of.
Children are the hope of a clan. When the children are well, every family has something to look forward to.
Why was lin family village so unhappy?
"My uncle is very kind, and the people of the family must bear in mind that you are the great benefactor of the whole family. "
"Get up, why would a man kneel down so casually? "
The old man had a lot of strength, so he pulled li zheng into his arms and looked annoyed." My surname is lin too. Our family name is lin. Our family has a good life now. It's only right for us to repair the ancestral hall and give our children a future. Could it be that our family isn' t from the lin clan?! "
"Yes, yes, uncle, whose family isn' t? Your family is all of us! "
Li zheng was so happy that he almost danced." Don' t worry, you don' t have to worry about this. I' ll tell my family today that before the spring sowing, one of them will be counted as one. They' re all here to help build a new courtyard and school, as well as to repair the ancestral hall. It was only right for her uncle's family to give money and help from the family. "
"That's good. All the people in the clan are working hard together and will be closer to each other in the future. Old master lin pondered for a moment before nodding his head. However, he still instructed," the school and the ancestral hall should naturally be helped by everyone, but we can count on the construction of a new courtyard as a group of help. One day at noon and evening for two meals, noon stew and steamed bread, evening meat and wine. Let's do this! "
"Uncle, that's too much money! It was better for them to eat at home. After all, it was all a matter of the clan. You had already taken good care of the clan, so it was only right for them to build a courtyard. "
"Don' t bother about these trivial matters. The food in the house is ready. What you do is hard work. Even the hired master will treat you like this, not to mention his own family. How can he work without food?" "
Seeing that the old man insisted, li zheng did not dare to continue to pester him. After saying a few more words, he couldn't help but feel happy. He left and rushed to the village.
When he passed by the boys, he saw that his second pillar was shaking his legs and looked at him with a pleading look. He raised his hand and patted his son on the head. "
After saying that, he cupped his hands and left with captain liu.
Er zhu' er stared at him, not understanding how her father, who always wanted to speak slowly, was jumping around like a monkey.
Finally, after the hellish training, the naughty boys rushed home like bees. After breakfast, they had to rush to the ancestral temple to endorse their books. Although sir did not punish them for squatting, he did not show any mercy at all.
But did not want to run home, the home of the old woman did not like the usual hot porridge and pickles, they jumped and shouted," mother, if you do not eat, to school late." "
The old woman, who did not know what to say to her father and grandparents, saw her son come back and pulled him into her arms. If you want to have a new school, it's still very big and nice. You don't have to cram in the ancestral hall. "
"New school? "The boys still did not understand, and the old lady had gone into the kitchen.
Such a conversation was going on in almost every household. After hastily eating breakfast, the children rushed to the school. The men followed li zhenghe and the elders gathered at the lin family compound. Some of the women could not hold back their curiosity and left their work at home to follow them shamelessly.
The dong family had brought their daughters-in-law with them to pick up the bowls and chopsticks and prepare the tea and melon seeds. They were waiting for the clansmen to come. After all, building a school to repair the ancestral hall was a big deal, so it was impossible for the clansmen to remain silent.
Sure enough, the clansmen were all grateful when they entered the door. They all shouted that they would come tomorrow to help carry the stone and carry the wood.
The women joined in and called for help in cooking.
Elder lin naturally responded and instructed lin dajiang to buy another piece of wood.
After that, everyone ran to the west of the village together. The place was not too complicated. There was a broken wooden bridge on the small river in the village. There was a barren land right after the bridge passed. As it was near the river and the woods, it had not been reclaimed. Now, it was just the right time to build a school. Winter wind, cool summer, children can take a bath in the river, into the woods to practice martial arts, not far from the village, is really suitable.
That day, old master lin brought li zheng into the city and sent him twenty taels of silver. He also approved a residential base, and his name was under old master lin's name.
Old master lin did not refuse. Everything was a small man before a gentleman. Although the clan was not bad at the moment, they had to be more cautious. If someone with impure intentions wanted to cause trouble in the future, he would definitely have a better chance of winning.
It was as if the north wind had sensed the warmth of the lin family's villagers and had actually warmed up.
Soon, a row of thatched sheds were built on the wall of the lin family compound. Four large stoves were built in the shed, and lin bao rushed out of the city and pulled four 18-foot-tall iron pans. After adding water to the stoves for a day, the stoves were completely dry inside and outside.
On the second day, the laborers of every household gathered early. Even though the ground was still frozen, they couldn' t hold back the enthusiasm of the crowd.
In addition, the piles of some messy stone, was also lifted one by one, to the right place.
Do strength work, the stomach is easy to hungry, but at noon each person a big bowl of bean curd stewed noodles, three two noodles big steamed bread, eat everyone is sweating. In the evening, it was actually stewed radish with bone soup, a big cake with noodles, and a small bowl of strong wine.
This kind of treatment was much better than what they had eaten. Everyone was laughing and eating, not to mention setting up a foundation, even if they were to fight a tiger, they would have the audacity to do so.
Elder lin, Tongli, was walking around in the crowd. From time to time, he would talk to his peers, and finally, he brought a big bowl to eat and drink with him.
Li zheng saw that the clansmen were so reunited and worked hard for the clan. He became excited again. He couldn' t help but drink two more bowls of wine and was finally carried back by lin ping.
In the courtyard, Jiao Jiao heard the commotion outside and wanted to join in the fun. However, at this time, the space shook and ye lan came again. She had no choice but to run to the kitchen and look for two large bowls of rice. She filled them with white rice and each of them took half a plate of food before drilling into the house.
