Chapter 148 The Plan for Building a Village School Begins
Aunt Ding said proudly:
"Sister, our daughter is excellent.
It seems that I, an old woman, must work harder in the future and not let my daughter down."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at her sons with her slightly drunk eyes and continued, "You little brats should work harder. If you dare to hold your sister back, be careful that I will punish you."
Wang Dabao and his four brothers immediately nodded their heads like chickens pecking at rice:
"Yes, yes, mother's teaching is absolutely right!
We will study hard in the future and strive to achieve perfection in carpentry work!"
Chen Qingxin was holding back his laughter, but on the surface he looked serious and comforted her:
"Don't be discouraged, brothers! After the New Year, I plan to build a college at the foot of the mountain.
At that time, we will open an adult literacy class in the evening.
By then, all four brothers can go to night school."
"Sister, what is night school?" Wang Dabao asked puzzledly.
Chen Qingxin patted her head. She had forgotten that people here called school a "academy".
How should I explain "night school" to him?
"Night Courtyard"?
Chen Qingxin suddenly had an idea: "Yes! I will build a college at the foot of the mountain.
The children in the village study there during the day, and the adults learn to read at night.
You can also understand it as studying at night or night learning.
Haha, it’s night school.”
She gave herself a thumbs up in her heart.
"Oh?" Everyone showed interested expressions.
"The name of the academy is 'Kaoshan Academy', and its main purpose is to cultivate practical talents.
I plan to hire the best teachers to teach these children how to read, recognize prescriptions, identify medicinal herbs, learn business concepts, etc.
Outstanding students can also take part in scientific examinations, and will be treated accordingly based on specific circumstances.
How far you can go depends on your own ability."
"Is the tuition expensive?" Wang Dabao asked the question that everyone wanted to know.
“It won’t be too expensive. After all, I don’t make money from it. As long as I don’t lose money, it’s fine.
Students who study in the academy can enter my shop or factory and do work within their capabilities after passing the assessment.
If you have outstanding abilities, it is possible to be a small manager." Chen Qingxin explained in detail.
Aunt Ding interrupted happily, “Xin’er, are you planning to use your ultimate move?
But this is good, as the children won’t have to worry about learning to read and write in the future.
I heard that tuition fees in the county are very expensive."
"Of course, godmother. In the future, my nephews and nieces will be able to study in the academy for free. Ying'er and Wu'er, there's no need to trouble your mother to teach them anymore." Chen Qingxin imagined confidently.
Wang Dabao smiled brightly:
“I never thought I would have the opportunity to study in this life.
Thank you, sister!
My eldest brother was ignorant when he was young and didn’t know the benefits of studying. Now he begins to regret it.
If I had the chance to do it again, I would definitely not miss the opportunity to learn again."
Aunt Ding was unhappy: "You little bastard, I advised you so much at that time, but you just wouldn't listen.
Are you regretting it now? What were you doing before? "
Dabao chuckled, scratched his head, and begged for mercy:
"Hehe, Dabao is wrong. You didn't listen to me and now you are suffering."
Chen Li saw the two mothers arguing and smiled without hesitation to persuade them:
"Hahaha, sister, please don't blame your nephew. Didn't Xin'er say that he can go to night school in the future?"
Wang Dabao said gratefully: "Thank you Auntie for speaking for me. It's time for us brothers to go back. Sorry for bothering you!"
The four brothers bowed and said goodbye.
Chen Qingxin came over with a basket in her hand and stuffed it into the boy's hand:
“When three people walk together, the small person suffers.
The younger brother is the youngest, so he should do more.
These are tomatoes. Take them back and let the kids try them.
Brothers, please don't eat it all on the way!"
Everyone: "..."
Aunt Ding reluctantly said goodbye to Chen Li:
“Sister, my sister and the boys are going back together.
I just came to see you and the kids today, nothing else to do."
Chen Qingxin grabbed Aunt Ding's hand and refused to let her go:
"Godmother, you are here now since you are old, why don't you stay for one night?
Why are you in such a hurry to go home?
When you are not at home, godfather can take good care of the shop by himself.
By the way, big brother, take this pot of wine back and let your godfather taste it."
Chen Qingxin handed over a pot of Shaodaozi. She knew that Wang Dashan always liked strong liquor, so she prepared a pot for him.
Wang Dabao took it with a smile: "Okay, big brother will thank little sister on behalf of daddy."
"Mom, we are going back too! You can stay at Aunt's house for one night, and I will take you back tomorrow night."
The brothers greeted the Chen family with a smile, and then drove away together in the carriage.
Before leaving, Wang Sibao reached out and tapped his sister's head gently:
"Brother is drunk, but sister, this rice wine is really delicious."
Chen Qingxin slapped him on the back of his hand, unwilling to be outdone:
"If I had known that you like to beat people up when you're drunk, I would have mixed water into your drink."
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter.
Wang Erbao drove the carriage and Wang Sanbao sat in the passenger seat. The two of them smiled and waved goodbye to Chen Qingxin and others.
Aunt Ding took Chen Li's hand and said:
"Sister, I want to be with you again.
At night, we two sisters will do some needlework before going to bed."
Chen Li smiled and responded, "Okay, sister, go take a bath first, the nanny has prepared some clean clothes.
I have made you a set of changing clothes according to your size. They are all washed, so you can wear them without worry."
Aunt Ding patted the sisters on the shoulders happily:
“Thank you! My sister is so thoughtful!
I won't be polite with you, I'm going to take a shower now. Hehe!"
Chen Qingxin thought of the clothes he bought for his family and said:
"Madame Yang, Madame Han, I brought you two sets of clothes today.
The weather is getting colder, so you need to put on more clothes in the morning and evening.
Let my mother find you some fabric and cotton for your winter clothes. You two can make a few sets for yourselves as the weather is cold this year."
Her heartwarming words made the two maids so grateful that they almost cried.
Nanny Han and Nanny Yang knelt on the ground at the same time:
"Thank you for your concern, Master!
How lucky I am to be noticed by my master!
These days are like those of a god.”
"Oh my! Two maids, please get up quickly!" Chen Qingxin hurriedly helped the two up, sighing in his heart.
She knew that these two maids were serious about their work and met her employment requirements perfectly.
Chen Qingxin looked at them, his heart filled with emotion.
She hopes to do more for them so that they can feel more warmth and care in this home.
She also hopes to make this home better and happier through her own efforts.
As long as they remain loyal to their masters, a special nursing home can be built for these servants when they grow old.
Nanny Yang also knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face:
"Master, it is a blessing for me to be able to serve you after three lifetimes.
I won't say much to express my gratitude. From now on, as long as the young lady needs me, I will go through fire and water for you, no matter what!"
