The village chief smiled and clicked on the pipe pot, ordering the men from various families.

"That's good. From now on, the boys in the village won't worry about their wives. I'm afraid that good girls from far and near will want to marry here."

Everyone thought about the same thing, and said with a smile, "Then our girl is probably more sought-after. She has earned work points since she was a child, and she has been exchanged for a dowry, but it is extremely rich."

"If the fat and water don't flow into other people's fields, it's better for our daughter to marry in this village, and we can't take advantage of the boys from other villages."

"That's right, the school will be built in autumn, and my daughter will also go to study and learn to write and count."

The men squatted together, worrying about their daughter-in-law not to get drunk, while chattering and thinking about the future, all smiling.

Life is not afraid of hardship, but fear of not running ahead.

With the head, I am full of strength every day, no matter how hard I work, I will not feel tired!

Not long after Li Lao Si stepped into the house with the half-drunk Tao Hongying on his back, Li Lao Er came back with Jiaren and Jiayi.

The three of them all had smiles on their faces, and it was rare for Jia Ren to be like a child, talking about Luo'an Academy around grandma.

"Grandma, the academy is just outside the Yunwu Mountain, more than a dozen miles east of Xindu. The scenery is particularly beautiful. There is a small town outside the academy, which is very lively. Many teachers in the academy eat in the small shop like the students. They are very easy-going. Looks like. Many students are still holding Guqin and flute, I heard that everyone who enters the academy must learn the same instrument."

Mrs. Li listened carefully, and the smile on her face never faded.She doesn't care if the college is good or not, if it can make her grandson so happy, she must go.

Jiayin was sitting in the arms of the elder brother, and she was beaming when she heard what he said, and she was also happy for the elder brother.

This is what young people should look like, flamboyant, not deep like an ancient well without waves.

Xu Shi realized that he was too excited, Jiaren blushed, and whispered, "Grandma, did I talk too much? But this academy is really good."

"Not much, not much, grandma is happy. When you go to school, grandma will see you off in person, and when you have a good classmate, she will also bring us home to play." Mrs. Li smiled and patted her grandson on the shoulder.

It was Li Laoer who said next to him, "The college's Shuxiu is not cheap, it costs 60 taels a year. Food and lodging, if added together, it may cost 100 taels."

Mrs. Li immediately waved her hands and said, "If our family had to worry about it before, we don't have to worry about it now. The dividends in the valley are at least 400 taels a year, and there are melon fields, which are precious things and can definitely sell a lot. Money, no matter what, it is enough for my grandson to study."

After that, she took Jiaren's hand, and said: "Jiaren, when you go to college, just concentrate on studying and don't worry about anything. Grandma doesn't only have you as a grandson, she can't just love you. If your Shu Xiu , I really can’t afford it at home, and I will definitely tell you that everyone will figure out a solution together. So, don’t worry, study hard, you know?”

Jiayin also nodded her head, shaking the gold bracelet in her hand, and the bell jingled, "Brother, Fu Niu has money, I will read to you!"

The little girl's arms are as fat as lotus root joints, white and white, and she is wearing a gold bracelet, very cute.

The whole family couldn't help laughing, Jiaren kissed his sister's arm, and replied, "Okay, brother is short of money, so I will ask you to borrow it. When you get married, brother will pay you back ten times!"

"Okay!" Jiayin lifted her chin proudly and looked at Li's second son, "Second uncle also said that doing business is difficult, look how easy it is for me."

The family couldn't stop laughing, Mrs. Li tapped her granddaughter's head lightly, "Little girl, you just robbed your brother, what kind of business is that?"

The evening wind blew, bringing a coolness that was not there during the day, and also spread the laughter of everyone far away.

Mr. Wen didn't keep the Li family waiting long, and rushed over at dusk three days later.

The Li family happened to be preparing dinner, and Tao Hongying quickly added two dishes before inviting Mr. Wen to the table.

Mr. Wen asked Wen Hai to bring in two baskets, one filled with half-filled eggs, and the other filled with two hens.

"Junior Sister asked me to take it with me. Her villager is digging a lotus pond, so I'm afraid she will be busy for a few days before coming here."

"Dig the lotus pond?" Mrs. Li was surprised, and asked, "This is not a small job, is there enough manpower?"

"Enough," Mr. Wen said with a smile, "Auntie doesn't know that some of the manpower in her village is recruited by the Hou's mansion. Find some heavy work for these people, and take the opportunity to see what kind of character they are. to throw them out."

Everyone felt relieved and sat down to eat together.

After eating, the dining table was removed, and everyone drank tea together. Mr. Wen said, "I've made arrangements for the college. In three days, Jiaren can go directly."

While talking, he took a post from his arms.

"When you arrive at the entrance of the college, just give the post to the door. Naturally, someone will greet you, and I will go and have a look when I have free time, but more often, Jiaren has to rely on himself to get along with his classmates, adapt to schoolwork, and take care of himself. Be prepared."

Jiaren quickly accepted the post with both hands, and thanked him solemnly.

The Li family members were all happy for Jiaren, Zhao Yuru said, "I'll be rushing over these two days to sew two new clothes for Jiaren."

Tao Hongying also said, "I'll deep-fry a can of meat sauce for Jiaren, and make more dry noodles, so that if the food doesn't suit my appetite, I can also pad my stomach."

Li's second child also smiled, "Mother, I will send Jiaren there when the time comes."

Jiayin has long been eager to try, but she has been depressed for a long time, and she has long been looking forward to going out for a walk.

At this moment, she hugged grandma's neck, her chubby body twisted like a twist, "Grandma, Fu Niu is going, going!"

The old lady also wanted to see where her eldest grandson would study in the future, and she was troubled by her precious granddaughter, so she quickly surrendered, "Okay, okay, when the time comes, whoever can let go of their work, they all go along."

Jia An Jiaxi had been looking forward to it for a long time, and they jumped up when they heard this.

"Oh, I'm going out to play!"

"Send big brother to school!"

Everyone was amused. The two naughty boys were working as buddies in the valley. It was the most convenient way to hide and go.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Li said to Mr. Wen, "Sir, the village will build a school in autumn. We can't let these boys just work in the valley for the rest of their lives. Do you have a suitable candidate, help our village find one?"

Mr. Wen nodded, "I also pay attention to it on weekdays, take a look, and I will definitely find the right one."

"Great, these boys are like wild horses, they can be more honest when they put on a halter."

The family chatted a little more, Mr. Wen thought for a while and said: "Auntie, the fourth child told me a few days ago that he wanted to check a family in Liushu Lane in the south of the city, and I sent Ye Hai to inquire. The Wang family is The side branch, the direct line is also an old family, and there are indeed many officials and scholars. I also have a colleague who belongs to the Wang family, and I made a few insinuations and asked some things..."

The old lady grabbed the armrest of the chair nervously, and asked with trembling lips for a while, "The Wang family... is that person the boss of my family?"
