In the end, the location of the school was decided at the northernmost end of the village, far away from Song Chen and his family.
Li Yan himself also proposed the idea of building a house.
Song Chen looked at Master Li who found him with two banknotes, and the muscles in his face were twitching.
"Master Li, are you going to give me New Year's money? It seems it's not the time yet?"
Master Li rolled his eyes at her angrily, "You girl, try to beat me up. You know what I'm asking you for. This money is not New Year's money for you. It's money for me to build a house. Could it be that I used to do this?"
You girl are a corrupt official at heart? How can you be so generous with your actions?"
Song Chen chuckled, "If you become a corrupt official, there will be no honest officials in the world."
"Are you uncomfortable living here? Why build a house in this nice house? It's so boring for you to live alone."
"Who said I have to live alone? Sheng Wei will live with me until he is admitted to the top exam. When the time comes, I will sell a house to serve others. Isn't my life pretty comfortable?"
He really didn't feel uncomfortable staying at Song Chen's house, but it was someone else's house after all, right?
In the past, it was because of household registration and identity issues, but now that these issues have been resolved, he definitely wants to have a house of his own. He can live a very happy life in a place like Beiguan Village where he can live in a house for retirement.
Hearing Master Li say this, Song Chen also nodded, "According to what you think, it is indeed quite comfortable, but I think, in addition to an old lady who takes care of others, do you also need a beautiful girl?
"
Song Chen couldn't help but think of Li Shanchang of the Ming Dynasty, who was also very old. He was worried that Zhu Yuanzhang would kill him, so he resigned and returned to his hometown, and then married a sixteen-year-old wife.
That is truly a beautiful girl.
Master Li's eyes widened when he heard Song Chen's words, "You, you girl really dare to say anything. Please tell me what you are thinking. You are also a girl who is preparing to leave the government.
Can you tell me?"
Song Chen curled his lips, "Aren't I thinking about you? Why can't I say it?"
"Me!" Master Li raised his hand and almost landed on her head. At the critical moment, Cang Xiuxuan's face appeared in his mind, causing him to stop himself abruptly.
Intend.
"When did I have such thoughts? I am already this age and I still think about these things. Who do you think I am?"
"I..." Song Chen finally held back the last few words and did not say them out.
Just laughing.
"You take this banknote back, and I promise to help you find a house that satisfies you. Then you can just choose the furniture you like, and treat it as our family's filial piety to you."
Master Li knew what she meant.
"I'll take over this house. Don't think about giving me any monthly money at the school in the future, okay?"
"Okay, that's settled."
Song Chen agreed immediately. Anyway, he wouldn't give him any monthly money. There would be other opportunities to give him.
He is a man who retired from old age and returned to his hometown, and even faked his death. How much money does he have left on him?
"My house should be built next to the school. It's too far away from the school and I don't want to go back and forth."
"okay."
"besides......"
Master Li made several requests, and Song Chen agreed without hesitation. As for the location of the house, Song Chen had guessed that it would follow the school.
It doesn't feel surprising at all now.
After these two things were settled, Song Chen began to look for someone.
The arrangements and labor arrangements that the villagers had discussed before should have come out, so Song Chen went directly to find Li Zheng.
As for Master Li’s house, now they can’t find any extra workers in Beiguan Village, so they can only find it in other villages. The two closest villages to their Beiguan Village are Wang Village and Shiping Village. Song
Chen thought about it and finally chose Wangcun.
The people in Wangcun were very happy when they heard the news.
They thought this was a signal, just like the people in Beiguan Village before. As long as Song Chen started to look for them to do work for the first time, and saw how good they were, they would keep looking for them to work in the future.
When Wang Dazhu's parents received the news, they couldn't wait to report Wang Dazhu's name, and then had someone deliver the letter to the town.
When he came back last time, he said he didn't want to work there anymore, saying he was worried about their age and wanted to come back.
The old couple also thought about it. At their age now, maybe they really fell asleep and couldn't get up that day. If their son had been working in a restaurant in the town, they might not have seen each other for the last time.
.
But I don’t know what I can do when I come back. The two acres of land at home can’t support their family of three.
Now it's okay. The Song family in Beiguan Village is looking for someone to work in their village. If their Dazhu is taken by the Song family, maybe they won't have to worry about anything in the future.
Wang Dazhu was also very happy when he heard the news.
But he was also worried that he would not be selected.
After thinking for a long time alone, I finally went to find Shopkeeper Dong.
"Shopkeeper, Song Chen and the others are looking for people to work in our Wang Village. I'm going to go back and give it a try. They said they are building a house for the teacher who is the head of the county case."
Wang Dazhu knew that their shopkeeper's target was now on Wang Goucheng, so he said this deliberately.
Sure enough, as soon as Shopkeeper Dong heard what he said, he immediately beamed with joy.
"You have to go back to this matter. You can go back to work without worry. I will leave your affairs to you, and I won't let others take over for you. You go back and work hard. But these days when you are not working here,
There is no salary, let me make this clear to you first."
The business of their restaurant was very good during this period. If Wang Dazhu was not working here, he would have to hire someone else, and he would have to pay wages.
He can't give money to both sides.
Naturally, Wang Dazhu couldn't be happier when he said this, "Thank you, shopkeeper, thank you shopkeeper. I will work hard when I go back and improve my relationship with the county chief."
Shopkeeper Dong nodded with satisfaction, "Well, then you can explain the work in hand and then go back. Come back early."
Wang Dazhu thanked shopkeeper Dong again and hurried away.
At the moment, we don’t know if Song Chen can be selected, so it would be the best thing for Shopkeeper Dong to reserve a place for him.
But he also knew in his heart that he would never go back to Piaoxiang Building. Shopkeeper Dong's purpose was too obvious.
He doesn't want to do that.
Even if Wang Shengwei really knew how to hang out with the people in Wang Village, he didn't want these factors to be involved. No matter how poor he was, he still knew how to be a human being, and what he couldn't do just couldn't be done.
