The couple went to see the new house the next day. It was very nice, which showed that Li Rong and Zhong Shizhu had done it very carefully.
Let Liu Shuquan choose the day to move in. Shen Tianli and Liu Ye went to buy a lot of things and planned to return to Cuishan Village in the afternoon. In addition to worshiping tomorrow, they also planned to hold a few banquets so that everyone could have a tooth ceremony.
After buying the things, he took He and others back to Cuishan Village.
Cuishan Village has also changed a lot now. Basically every household has moved into a mud house. Since the cat winter has begun, everyone is very leisurely. A fire is lit at the main entrance. The men sit around the fire and the women sit around it. Standing aside, warming themselves by the fire, listening to them talk about things.
"I think it would be good to set up a school in the village. Nowadays, whoever has little spare money at home will know how good it is to study just by looking at Tianli. And if you can read and write, then you can open your mouth and let Ye'er arrange things for your children. Otherwise, it would be a embarrassment for other people's husband and wife. Besides, God has said not to practice self-cultivation, but since ancient times, there is no one who does not practice self-cultivation while studying. So I discussed with the two clan leaders and built a three-room mud-roofed house at the entrance of the village as a school. I'll provide the money. People who want to study, no one will give Shu Xiu a gift of a hundred cents from heaven, what do you think?"
"Uncle Li Zheng, isn't one hundred cents too much! If all three of my children go to school, it will cost three hundred cents!"
"Yes, Uncle Li Zheng, I have four or five children at home, but I don't need half a tael of silver. This is too much."
You and I both think that one hundred taels is too much. After all, there are many children in the family, and we must have opinions about whether one should go to school or not.
Li Lizheng, who was promoted in the autumn, saw that everyone had finished shouting, and said coldly: "Shu Xiu in the town needs five taels of silver a year, not to mention food. A big village also needs one tael of silver, and now God has given you one hundred taels of silver, which is too much for you." , how much do you want to give? Let me tell you, God has given this child a kind heart. The gentleman in this town said that if God gives this child a heart, he will definitely become a Tongsheng master. Then he can go to any school in the town. , even a simple repair is not a hundred cents. Moreover, God-given this child can find more than a hundred cents to do anything he wants. You have to think clearly!"
When Li Lizheng said this, there was a moment of silence. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but they stopped talking.
Suddenly, someone shouted: "Hey, a carriage has entered the village!"
There has never been a carriage in the village! In an instant, everyone stood up and looked towards the carriage.
The sharp-eyed people quickly recognized them and shouted: "It's Tianli and the others! Tianli and the others are back!" As he said this, he ran over.
Others saw this and followed suit.
When Shen Tianli saw the villagers gathered around him, he stopped the carriage and heard the villagers greeting each other.
"Tianli, are you and Ye'er back?"
"Tianli, is this the carriage you bought? It looks so beautiful!"
"Tianli, when did you come back?"
…
"Okay, okay! Everyone has asked so many questions, how do you want Tianli to answer?" Li Lizheng raised his arms and shouted, and everyone fell silent in an instant.
Liu Ye helped He and Shen Tianlu get out of the carriage and said with a smile: "Grandma Li, Grandma Shen, Tianli and I just came back yesterday. Tomorrow is my father's death anniversary, so our family came back early. Last year You also know the situation, so my mother and husband discussed it today and prepared to host a few banquets to thank everyone. Grandmas, aunts, and aunts, you should go there early tomorrow."
When Liu Ye said this, everyone agreed.
No one is stupid. The Shen Tianli couple obviously provide welfare to everyone.
Here, Shen Tianli was talking to Li Lizheng, "Grandpa Li, Uncle Li, why are everyone gathered here?"
Li Zian looked at his father, and then said: "Isn't this God's child not going to school? He came to us and told us that he wanted to open a school in the village to teach children to read. He didn't want to be restricted, but since ancient times, there is nothing wrong with studying. For those who teach and practice, we will discuss how much to give.”
"Have the discussion been completed?" Shen Tianli asked.
How can it be negotiated?
For the villagers, the best thing is that they don’t have to pay a penny.
Seeing Li Zian's expression, Shen Tianli knew it and turned to look at Liu Ye.
Although Liu Ye was talking to the wives and mothers-in-law, she was also paying attention to her husband, so when she felt his gaze, she understood his intention and said with a smile: "Grandpa Li, my husband has always wanted to set up a school in our village, but... It’s hard to find a gentleman. Since Brother Shen wants to be a gentleman first, then let us be the one to provide repairs for the entire village!"
"This...how is this good?" Li Lizheng was also surprised.
"Why is it bad? Grandpa Li also knows that the court will open Enke next year. Doing this will be regarded as accumulating blessings for Xianggong. If Xianggong can become a child next year, Xianggong has said that he will build the roads in the village. If he can become a child, Scholar, he also built the road from our village to the town."
Road construction was also mentioned just now, Liu Ye mentioned it in passing.
The road back to the village this time was even harder to walk than the official road. It was full of potholes. If it weren't for the mud on the ground, she would have just walked on her own.
In addition, an oil mill will be built in the future, so this road must be repaired.
When Liu Ye said this, everyone cheered in unison, saying that Shen Tianli would definitely become a scholar. Blessings and laughter came one after another. Finally, it was with Li Lizheng's comfort that Shen Tianli's family left.
After settling the He family, Shen Tianli asked Shen Tianyan to watch the door at home, and then took Liu Ye up the mountain.
They haven't come back for more than a month, and they don't know how the iron ore mining is going.
When we arrived at the entrance of the cave, we found that a small wooden house had been built at the entrance so that rainwater would not flow into the cave even if it snowed heavily.
There was a hemp rope going down from the entrance of the cave. Liuye went down first, and then Shen Tianli slowly threw down the supplies he had prepared, and then also entered the cave.
At this moment, the cave was very lively because of the arrival of Willow Leaf. Everyone was even happier when they saw a lot of white rice, white flour, cotton cloth and various meat and vegetables sliding in along the hole.
"Doctor Liu, you are here. Yong'er has been thinking about you for a long time."
The other women nodded while helping with the food. If they didn't come, they wouldn't be able to eat any of their food!
Liu Ye nodded, "Aunt Huo, are you still used to living here?"
Although they didn't know day and night in the cave every day, and they were not used to it at first, they didn't have to rob their homes, and they were full of hope for the future. So she felt comfortable and was busy cooking and delivering meals to everyone every day. She felt like living in this cave. Not bad either.
Aunt Huo smiled and said: "Get used to it, get used to it! The food and housing are good. I'll ask Liangjuan to take you to find her father." Then she called Huo Yong's daughter and asked Huo Liangjuan to take them to the mine in front.
