The ugly daughter-in-law of the farm gate: the sweet wife of the husband in the mountains

Chapter 274 Shyness
After breakfast, Zhou Jingqing was about to leave.

Mrs. Wang moved a lot of side dishes she had pickled to the carriage, and gave a lot of instructions in detail.

Although Mrs. Wang doesn't always say what she misses, but the two sons are outside, and they are always very reluctant to part.

"I'll bring Xiao Rui back in a few days." Zhou Jingqing said.

Wang rubbed her eyes, "The wind is so strong that it hurts my eyes."

After Wang finished speaking, she entered the yard. Seeing Wang's back, Ye Xi sighed.

"Brother-in-law, we will wait for you to come back for the New Year." Ye Xinyao said with a smile.

Hearing Ye Xinyao calling her brother-in-law with a smile, Zhou Jingqing smiled and rubbed her head.

After saying a few farewell words, Ye Xinyao also ran away, leaving Ye Xi and Zhou Jingqing to talk.

Zhou Jingqing reached out and hugged Ye Xi, "Take care of yourself."

"Let's go! Dally, don't arrive at the county seat at noon." Ye Xi smiled, and said in a low voice: "I will miss you."

"I'll miss you too." Zhou Jingqing's voice was low, almost a whisper.

Seeing that his ears were red, Ye Xi smiled slightly.

It turns out that such a big man looks like this when he is shy!

I also find it very interesting.

Watching Zhou Jingqing drive the carriage away, Ye Xi took some snacks and went to the village chief's house to discuss with the village chief about building an academy in the village.

"After all, she is the daughter of Master Juren's family." The village head smiled, "He actually thinks of our village so much."

"I also think about how many children in the village are neglected when they should be able to read and write. It's a pity. If you can read, even if you can't be an official, you can always go out and do more things." Ye Xi said seriously. "Not to mention anything else, those who can read and write are less likely to be deceived when they go outside!"

"That's the truth, but there were very few people who thought this way before." The village chief said with emotion.

In Ye Xi's view, so many families in the village do not allow their children to study, the main reason is a problem of consciousness.

Otherwise, although the mountain village is not considered rich, in fact, most of the people's lives are quite good.

It is also farming and silkworm rearing, so the harvest in a year is quite a lot.

Many people still have some savings after eating and drinking for a year.But many people think that instead of letting children study, it is better to do something else with money.

Taking advantage of the fact that Yunshui Town has two Juren, and many people are eager to study, if we open an academy, many people may be willing to enroll.

Seeing that the village chief agreed with her proposal, Ye Xi continued to talk about wanting some wasteland in the back mountain.

In fact, it is very good that there is a lot of land in the back mountain of Kaoshan Village, but because there are a lot of stones, many people are unwilling to cultivate it.

If it is cultivated, it is still very beneficial.The imperial court encouraged land reclamation, and the newly reclaimed land was not taxed for the first three years.

She thought about reclaiming some wasteland in the back mountain and planting mulberry trees, which would become the academy's property in the future.When there is a harvest, it will be used for the expenses of the academy.

"It's not easy to reclaim the back mountain. I can give you the land to start an academy, and no one in the village will say anything. But for the reclaiming, I don't know how many people are willing to help." Villager Chang sighed, "I can't force the villagers to help."

"The village head will help me to talk about it. Those who are willing to help will not only get paid, but also the children will be the first to go to school in the future."
