Chapter 183 - Surprise
Xiang Chen Xi looked at Zhao Jing in surprise. He had thought that Zhao Jing would pester Chu Liang to death. If that was the case, he didn't mind teaching him a lesson, but he didn't expect it to be so sensible. At the same time, Xiang Chen Xi felt very happy in his heart. After Chu Liang recovered her memory, she directly drew a clear line with Zhao Jing.
"Zhao Jing, are you interested in being my project manager? I can guarantee that the annual salary I'll give you will be twice the profit from a year of your breeding base!" Xiang Chen Xi said to Zhao Jing.
Zhao Jing looked at him in shock, not knowing how to answer.
"Haha, Jing, you're not going to agree to such a good thing!" The pottery father laughed.
Zhao Jing was in disbelief, but he quickly regained his senses and asked: "Project manager, what project do you mean?"
"I want to build a botanical garden in the village, so of course you'll be the project manager of the Dye Botanic Garden. I won't be staying here with Chu Liang for too long, so I want you to take care of it for me."
Zhao Jing said excitedly: "Since Mr. Xiang thinks highly of me, then I will do my best to help you!"
Seeing this happy ending in front of her, Tao Chu Liang was also very happy in her heart. For her, Xiang Chen Xi could ignore the past grudges, which also made her feel very sweet.
The new houses of the villagers stood side by side. They were all two-story houses. However, they were very close to each other, so it was still very lively. As for pottery father's and pottery mother's new residences, Xiang Chen Xi had even specially made them a third floor, which was extremely eye-catching in the numerous residential buildings. All of the decorations in the room were designed by Xiang Chen Xi and Tao Chu Liang personally, using the traditional Chinese decorating style.
The botanical garden that Xiang Chen Xi developed was rather far from the villagers' new residential building, but it could still be driven by cars. After a few months, the botanical garden had become a sea of flowers. Everything was going smoothly. In a few more months, he would be able to harvest these flower petals to distill the pigment.
The village chief was the happiest person in the school. He was very pleased to see the children being able to attend school in such an environment. Furthermore, Xiang Chen Xi kept his promise, and actually brought every single teacher in the village to teach the children. This was simply a big matter in the village.
But the villagers knew it wasn't easy to maintain a school, so they paid the tuition on their own. There were also children from the neighboring villages who had signed up to join the school, but Xiang Chen Xi did not cultivate to earn money, so he set the school's fees very low. The school has also established a personnel department, which specializes in the management of the school's finances.
Xiang Chen Xi did not plan to take any money from the school. Furthermore, he decided to use the income from the plant dye to set up a Chu Liang Scholarship to reward outstanding children.
Today, Xiang Chen Xi specially brought Tao Chu Liang to visit the new school. He knew that the thing that Tao Chu Liang was worried about the most was still this group of village children.
Tao Chu Liang and Xiang Chen Xi came here secretly, so the children did not know that Tao Chu Liang had returned. Through the window of the classroom, Tao Chu Liang saw many new faces.
"I've never seen these children before!" Tao Chu Liang softly said to Xiang Chen Xi.
Xiang Chen Xi laughed and said: The teachers that I have invited are all excellent teachers, some of them are even old teachers, and many of the town's parents have come here to register, it is normal that you have not seen these children.
So that's how it was! Tao Chu Liang couldn't help but give Xiang Chen Xi a big thumbs up. He didn't expect Xiang Chen Xi to be so concerned about his son's education.
Suddenly, after walking past a classroom, Tao Chu Liang saw some familiar faces. They were all children born and raised in New Moon Village. Hu Zi was among them. At that moment, he was sitting upright in his seat, listening to the teacher's lecture on the stage. Tao Chu Liang took a careful look at the blackboard, it was written with English words, they were actually learning English! In the past, the children of the village had never dared to even think about such things, so they were all very interested, and all of them listened to the teacher's lecture on stage with great interest.
As Tao Chu Liang looked at this familiar scene, he couldn't help but sigh emotionally, "Sigh, I really want to teach them another lesson, I'm rather nostalgic."
Xiang Chen Xi turned his head to look at her, and said: "It's not that difficult, just let the grade teacher change classes at the last minute." After which, he stood at the side of the corridor and made a phone call.
After Xiang Chen Xi finished making his call, he said to Tao Chu Liang: "Done, after this lesson, just go in."
The bell for the end of class rang and the English teacher walked out of the classroom. He did not know Tao Chu Liang and Xiang Chen Xi, so he left by himself. At this time, Hu Zi who was in the classroom suddenly shouted, "Uncle Xiang! Teacher Lu! "
When the other students in the classroom saw Tao Chu Liang, they all rushed over with a face full of joy and surrounded Tao Chu Liang. Seeing that they still remembered him, Tao Chu Liang's heart skipped a beat.
"Hu Zi, have you all gotten used to it? How is the new teacher? Are you being naughty? " Tao Chu Liang felt that he had endless questions.
Tao Chu Liang felt a bit of pain in his nose, and patted Hu Zi's head: "How could that be! Although I cannot live here, I will come back to see you often. "
"That's right, the next lesson will be given by your Teacher Lu, do you still want to listen to her?" Xiang Chen Xi said from the side, but for some reason, he gave Hu Zi a look, and then, Hu Zi winked at him.
"Yes!" The children said in unison.
The children clustered around Tao Chu Liang as he entered the classroom. When Tao Chu Liang returned this time, he even brought them a gift. These children were extremely rare and loved each other very much. Tao Chu Liang and Xiang Chen Xi looked at each other and also saw the joy in each other's eyes.
Xiang Chen Xi sat at the back of the classroom and quietly listened to Tao Chu Liang teach. Tao Chu Liang found it funny that such a university student had suddenly appeared in the classroom. However, he didn't bother with him and focused on his lecture.
"Alright, I've already handed over this' Silent Night Thinking 'to everyone. Is there anything you don't understand now? You can raise your hand and ask me. " This was Tao Chu Liang's habit of teaching. After every class, he would ask the children if there was anything they didn't understand, and the children would usually ask questions enthusiastically.
However, today was a strange day. Unexpectedly, not a single student raised their hand.
Tao Chu Liang was a little surprised, "Are all of you done?"
The children looked at each other, while Hu Zi inadvertently looked at Xiang Chen Xi who was in the last row.
At this time, Xiang Chen Xi raised his hand. The children burst into laughter and looked at him curiously.
Tao Chu Liang stared blankly, thinking, what kind of trick was this person trying to pull now?
"Teacher Tao, I have a problem!" Xiang Chen Xi shouted calmly.
Tao Chu Liang looked at him with a bit of amusement, and helplessly said: "Enough, if you have any questions, just say it."
Xiang Chen Xi stood up from his seat and walked straight to the front of the stage. Tao Chu Liang was curious, what was this man trying to do?
"Just ask directly from your seat!" Tao Chu Liang stopped him.
Xiang Chen Xi ignored her and went directly to the podium, kneeling on one knee in front of her. Unknowingly, a diamond ring had appeared on his hand, with two letters engraved on it — TX.
Tao Chu Liang was already completely stunned.
Just then, Xiang Chen Xi looked at her deeply, and said word by word, "Teacher Tao, I want to ask you, are you willing to marry me?"
Tao Chu Liang's head exploded with a buzz, and her eyes immediately turned red. She never thought that Xiang Chen Xi would use such a method to propose to her. No wonder he was dressed so formally when he left today. Back then, he had even mocked him as if he was getting married!
"Teacher Tao, marry Uncle Xiang!" Hu Zi stood up from his seat and shouted loudly, waking Tao Chu Liang up from his stupor.
"Marry him! Marry him! " All the children in the class shouted loudly. Outside the window, there were a few teachers who were also shouting outside the classroom.
Tao Chu Liang watched everything with tears in his eyes. Clutching his mouth, he was moved to tears.
"So, are you willing to marry me?" Xiang Chen Xi asked again. In fact, he was extremely nervous.
Tao Chu Liang felt that he could no longer speak. She silently walked forward, took the diamond ring from Xiang Chen Xi's hand, and pulled him up.
"Student Xiang, I'm willing!" she whispered to him.
Xiang Chen Xi held her in his arms, and all the children in the classroom took out a lot of rose petals, as they cheered and sprinkled the petals on their bodies.
The teachers outside the classroom also clapped as Tao Chu Liang's heart melted from happiness.
After leaving the school, the news of Xiang Chen Xi and Tao Chu Liang had already spread across the entire New Moon Village. Everyone knew, they were going to get married!
Xiang Chen Xi and Tao Chu Liang went to their adoptive parents' home. The two old men had already heard about this and felt extremely gratified.
For her own daughter to have such a man that doted on her, in the eyes of the villagers, was a blessing that came from several lives! The two bid farewell to pottery father and pottery mother, and promised that they would return to visit them once in a while.
