The Little Dumb Wife of the Mountain People

Chapter 88

Regardless of how Wen Chengquan expressed his attitude to his parents, the villagers in Songjia Village felt much more at ease with the Wu family's guards.

More than 50 strong men, 30 of them patrol the village every day, and the three teams intersect and patrol, and stabilize the trap set by the villagers of Songjia Village.

The arrival of these people made all the families in Songjia Village heave a sigh of relief. What happened in the past two days really left them with lingering fears.

Early the next morning, a few people from the Wu family's guards were dispatched back to the county government office to deliver the letter written by Wen Youcai.

Wen Bao also felt relieved, and while arranging the things at home, he took care of Zhang Lian's body.

Zhang Lian has already moved back home, but she was so frightened that day that she became pregnant, and now she is still lying on the bed resting.

"Dalang's daughter-in-law, my aunt is going to take care of Liquan's daughter-in-law at home these few days, you see what happens in the workshop..."

Although Aunt Ma hadn't finished speaking, Wen Bao already understood what she meant.

Aunt Ma was originally in charge of the workshop with Aunt Wei. Originally, Wen Bao wanted Mei Hua to be in charge of the workshop together, but Mei Hua went home for a few days, but she was holding a sewing basket every day.

In private, Wen Bao also asked Mei Hua, but Mei Hua didn't want to manage the workshop. She just told her that if she wanted to work, the management was fine.

Because of the robbers in the village, many of the medicines made by Zhang Lian were used. Only then did the villagers discover that the medicines made by Zhang Lian were not only convenient, but also very effective.

Now it was time for everyone in Songjia Village to be free. Although the robbery matter had not been resolved, the workshop was still open.

It is really difficult for Aunt Wei to take care of the workshop by herself, and there are some secret recipes, but no one else knows, so she can only rely on her.

"Aunt Ma, since that's the case, you can take care of Zhang Lian at home for a few days. I'll help with things in the workshop first."

Originally, Wen Bao didn't want to participate in the workshop, but now she has to.

Since Wen Youcai and Mrs. Wu came back, Tuantuan was taken away by the old couple, along with the family's ewe.

Wen Bao's current role is to find Tuantuan to feed her when the milk and water are swollen and painful.

Someone was helping to take care of the children. It was normal for Wen Bao to be targeted for such an idler.

Wen Bao went home and told Song Dalang about it, and Song Dalang nodded in agreement.

"Just go out and relax."

Song Dalang has been thinking about a lot of things recently, and he was always worried before the robbers were caught.

But although he is busy, he also knows that his daughter-in-law has been a little bored these two days.

"Well, anyway, I'm going to help. When Zhang Lian feels better, I'll leave the matter to Aunt Ma."

Song Dalang naturally had no objection to Wen Bao's words, and he personally sent Wen Bao to the workshop the next morning, and then turned around and walked to Song Wei's house.

He has been thinking about it for a long time these two days, and because Wen Chengquan said before that he would take some students in the village, he also thought about it, and he finally figured out what he was thinking.

"Uncle Wei, do you think we can find some children in our village who are willing to study?"

Song Dalang directly stated his purpose for today, and Song Wei was also puzzled after hearing Song Dalang's words.

"Uncle Wei, my fourth uncle and brother will get married in the next year. After they get married, they will set up a school in the village, and he will teach."

As soon as Song Dalang said this, Song Wei stood up in shock.

Although there are a few children in Songjia Village studying in Wen's school in the town, after these few months, they all know that the children in the village can't keep up with the children in the town, and it is impossible for them to take the scientific examination.

What's more, Song Wei didn't think about scientific research at the beginning, but to make the children in the village sensible.

But now Song Dalang's words made him extremely happy.

If Wen Jiashiro runs a school in the village, then the children in the village should be able to go to school, and the parents in the village can feel at ease when they go home every day.

"Dalang, is this true?"

Song Wei was full of disbelief, but Song Dalang nodded affirmatively.

"It's true. My fourth uncle also said that he would clean up two rooms at home. If the girls in the village want to study, they can also learn from his wife."

The more Song Dalang said, the more excited Song Wei became.

I really didn't expect that their Songjia Village could have such a blessing.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Song Wei said 'yes' three times excitedly, which showed that he was very happy about this matter.

Since he took over as the village head of Songjia Village, although Songjia Village has developed well, after all, their foundation is weak. Now that a noble person has offered his hand, he will naturally lead Songjia Village to work harder.

"Dalang, do you think where is the school in our village?"

After Song Wei got excited, he began to figure out where to build the school.

Seeing Song Wei so excited, Song Dalang smiled and didn't know what to say.

"The fourth uncle didn't say anything, but what I heard from him seems to be that he wants to keep a small yard at home."

"No, no, like this, before it snows, I'll go to someone to discuss it, and try to build a few houses before the beginning of spring."

Song Wei was about to go out after finishing speaking, Song Dalang looked at his back and wanted to hold him back, but was pushed away by Song Wei.

"Dalang, you don't need to worry about this matter. The construction of the school should be built by our Songjia Village."

What Song Wei said, Song Dalang didn't think it was wrong, but he still added a sentence, "Uncle Wei, I am also from Songjia Village. If the village wants to build a school, my family should also contribute."

After Song Dalang said this, he let go of Song Wei's hand, but Song Wei finally listened to Song Dalang's words.

Song Dalang began to think about this matter after returning from Song Wei's house, and when Wen Chengquan came to him, he took the initiative to mention this matter to Wen Chengquan.

"Since that's the case, instead of going to your house to provide the foundation, sir, how about giving each student a set of pens and inks as a gift? After all, my Wen family is also in Songjia Village now."

Wen Chengquan's words surprised Song Dalang, he only paid a little money for the foundation, but what Wen Chengquan said was a lot of money for each student to enroll in a set of pens and inks.

Wen Chengquan knew what Song Dalang was thinking just by looking at Song Dalang's expression, but he didn't refute, but settled the score for Song Dalang.

"The pens and inks used by children in school are all ordinary ones. Wen's family has a grocery store, and I can buy them with my second brother. A set of ordinary pens and inks is only less than a hundred pennies.

Shuxiu, an academy in the town, pays [-] wen a month, and here I pay [-] wen a month, while in Shuxiu town, I pay once a year, and here, I pay once every six months. "

After hearing Wen Chengquan's account, Song Dalang believed that Wen Chengquan would not lose money.

However, there is still a lot of open space near Song Dalang's house. It doesn't take much space to enclose the foundations of the two houses.

"Alright, when Uncle Wei comes to look for me, I'll tell him about it."

Song Dalang felt that it would be beneficial to build the school near his home. In the future, his children would definitely go to the school. It was close to home, so he could take care of the children at home.

After Wen Bao came back from the workshop for two rounds and dispensed the medicine, Song Dalang told Wen Bao about it.

"That's a good thing. Since it's going to be built, let's build three main rooms and one side room on the left and right. Bookshelves will be placed in the main room for the children to borrow in the future.

There is a main room on the left and right, the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law each have a teaching room, and two side rooms, one is built with an earthen stove for boiling water for drinking on weekdays, and the other room is for the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law to rest. "

Originally Song Dalang thought that building two houses would be enough, but now Wen Baoyi said that the foundation of his house could be paid for, but to build so many houses, it would cost a lot of money.

Wen Bao could see what Song Dalang was struggling with at a glance, "The workshop has started to make money, and every family will definitely have money. What's more, parents will definitely not keep silent after knowing about this. It's not necessary for each family to give a little. How many."

Wen Bao counted it as an ordinary house, but when Song Wei decided to build two green brick houses and knew that Song Dalang was going to provide a large foundation, he was also dumbfounded.

Song Wei contacted the whole village, and every family had no objection to this matter. Song Wei calculated that each family could build two green brick houses with only five hundred Wen.

It's just that after knowing that Song Dalang had drawn out the foundations of the three main rooms and one side room each, the money was not enough.

"Uncle Wei, my parents know that a school is going to be built in the village, and they say they will pay five taels of silver. Do the math, is this enough?"

As soon as Wen Bao told Wen Youcai and Wu Shi about this matter, they were willing to pay five taels of silver, and they even wanted to bring over some books from the academy in the town and leave them in the village for the students to read.

Song Wei didn't expect the Wen family to be so open-minded. After Song Dalang said that Wen Chengquan would give a set of pens and inks to every new student, Song Wei went to each family in the village.

After Song Wei made another trip, he decided to spend 20 taels of money from the workshop to build a school. Since it was for children, it was natural to build it.

The blue bricks and red tiles were built by Song Dalang's family and Wen's family, so they got to know someone and bought them quickly.

The Song family village is crowded now, and the Wu family guards also came to help, and the foundation was dug out in less than half a day.

Before it snowed, men from all families came to help, those who built the main house built the main house, those who built the side house built the side house, and some people went into the mountains to cut a few good woods, dragged them to the town to find the master carpenter, and begged for help. Help replace some old wood, get some bookshelves, tables and chairs out.

The early winter of the whole Songjia Village was busy because of Wen Chengquan's willingness to teach the children in the village to read in spring, and things in the county also made progress.

It has been seven days since the guards of the Wu family came back from the county. When they left, most of the families in Songjia Village were fattening up at home and patrolling every day. But when they came back, they saw a place not far from Song Dalang's house, going to Wen's house. Several houses were built.

"Whose house is this?"

Someone asked something unclear, and someone immediately explained that this is the school in the village, and it will be completed in a few days.

The guard really didn't expect that after they left for only a few days, there would be such a big change in the village. After regaining their senses, they gathered their minds and walked towards Wen's house.

As soon as Wen Bao prepared the ratio of medicinal materials in the workshop, he heard someone calling him outside. As soon as Wen Bao walked out, he saw Mei Hua standing not far away looking at her.

"Sister-in-law, the person who went to the county has returned, and my aunt told you to go back."
