Chapter 214 Chen Daju
Just then, Zhang Xiucai said what he had thought about for a long time.
"Li Zheng, in order to make more children in the village literate and read, I have decided that after the new year, the tuition fee in private schools will be changed from 2 taels of silver per quarter to tael of silver per quarter.
As long as they are children in our Peach Blossom Village, they can get five cents off. "
Li Zheng was stunned, and even Su Minan looked at Zhang Xiucai in surprise.
There are hundreds of children in Zhang Xiucai's private school. Each child loses five taels of silver, which means he loses 5 taels of silver per season. This is a lot of money for the farmer's family.
"Master Zhang, are you sure you want to give each child five taels of silver less? Your stipends are not expensive to begin with. If you pay less, wouldn't you be wronging yourself?"
Zhang Xiucai smiled and waved his hand, "Now, thanks to Min'an's family, our family can earn a salary every month.
Min'an's family has done a lot for the villagers. As the only scholar in the village, I also want to do something for the village.
Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world.
My abilities are limited and I cannot help the world at the same time, but I can barely do it to benefit my neighbors. "
Her son had told her about this a long time ago, and Mrs. Hua was not surprised.
Instead, he helped:
"When our family fled to Taohua Village, it was Taohua Village that took us in. Now that we are capable, we should do something for the village."
"it is good!"
Li Zheng clapped his hands and said, "Master Zhang is such a blessing to the people of Taohua Village.
As a matter of course, I gave five taels of silver to buy a few sets of pens, inks, paper and inkstones for Master Zhang's private school. "
Li Zheng has already expressed his stance, and Su Minan, as the richest person in Taohua Village today, has also expressed his stance.
"Then, on behalf of the Su family, I will provide the private school with a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstones every month. As long as Master Zhang's private school remains open, this promise will remain valid."
After hearing this, Zhang Xiucai stood up and saluted Li Zheng and Su Minan solemnly:
"On behalf of the children of the private school, I would like to thank you two for your kind deeds."
Just as Zhang Xiucai and his family left, Patriarch Ye and Patriarch Su came to visit again to pay New Year greetings.
Then there are Mrs. Qian next door, Su Laizi, Widow Wang, Ye Dezi...
Today, the Su family didn't go anywhere and had been receiving New Year's greetings at home.
"Ah! I am so exhausted that I will never look after children again."
In the evening, everyone at home who paid New Year greetings finally left.
Su Wan lay on the kang and rubbed her dry throat.
After looking at the child and talking for a whole day, her throat was almost broken by her.
Chen Yunzhi opened the door curtain and walked into the room with a bowl of steaming soup.
Hearing Su Wan's words, he smiled and said:
"Nanny, Mom made you a bowl of pear soup. Drink it to moisten your throat."
Su Wan got up from the bed and happily took the pear soup: "Mom is the only one in the world. Thank you, my dear mother."
Chen Yunzhi was coaxed with a smile on his eyes and brows: "Don't be poor, drink slowly, be careful not to burn it."
Su Wan took a sip carefully, it was a bit hot.
Place on the small table on the kang to cool.
Su Jingnian ejected from the other side of the kang.
"Mom, where's my pear soup?"
Chen Yunzhi glanced at her youngest son:
"You have the nerve to drink pear soup and let you babysit, what have you been doing?
Go to sleep in your eldest brother's room.
There was no pear soup, but there were quite a few pear cores. "
Su Jinnian scratched her head in embarrassment.
"Those children were so noisy that my brain hurt from their noise. I originally wanted to go to my eldest brother's room to listen to them talk about knowledge, but I fell asleep while listening."
Chen Yunzhi's black line.
"Take a nap this afternoon and I'll see how you sleep later.
Tomorrow, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, I will go to your grandma's house to pay New Year greetings. You have to get up early. Everyone goes to bed early tonight. "
"what!"
Su Jinnian wailed. He was in high spirits right now, how could he possibly fall asleep.
He climbed up from the kang.
"I'm going to find grandpa."
Grandpa doesn’t have to follow them to grandma’s house tomorrow, and he doesn’t have to get up early.
He went to his grandfather, Uncle Xu, and the others to play mahjong, hehe.
In King Ding's house.
The little grandson wants to play with him, and even if he stays up late at night, he wants to accompany him.
Needless to say, Xu Zhixian and Xu Linxi had just learned mahjong and were now very interested in mahjong.
A desk was placed on the kang, and four people gathered at a table, sitting on the kang and playing mahjong lively.
This time, if you lose in mahjong, you will have to pay money. The desire to win was aroused in several people, so they insisted on playing until midnight before going to rest.
Su Jinnian was too lazy to go back to his room, so he simply stayed in Prince Ding's room to sleep with Prince Ding.
King Ding was happy and had a good night's sleep.
The next day, Su Jinnian was dragged up from the kang by her eldest brother.
The family packed up and headed to Xinghua Village next door with gifts.
In the carriage, Su Jinnian kept yawning.
Su Wan smiled and teased:
"Brother, will you sleep during the day from now on?"
"No, no, no, I won't sleep anymore, my biological clock is messed up."
The carriage stopped in front of Chen Laoer's house.
Hearing the sound of the carriage, Chen Damu rushed out of the house to greet him.
"Min'an, you guys are here, hurry up, please come inside."
Su Min'an moved the New Year's gifts he brought to the yard one by one.
Drinks and pork, cakes and fruits, clothes and shoes...
Two boxes were packed.
Mrs. Zhang said angrily:
"Just come. Why bring something like this?"
"Mom, I must bring the New Year's gift, otherwise others will say that my daughter is unfilial."
Chen Laoer greeted in the main room: "Don't stand outside and say, come inside, it's cold outside."
The Su family entered the house, and Mrs. Zhang quickly took out the melon seeds and peanuts at home and placed them on the table.
This is the first time for the second daughter's family to return to her parents' home as a whole family.
Mrs. Zhang couldn't wait to take out all the delicious food in the house.
"Wanwan, you haven't had breakfast yet. Wait, grandma will make you some poached eggs."
Chen Yunzhi stood up and said, "Mom, let me help you."
Zhu held down Chen Yunzhi:
"Little sister, have a good rest. When it's your turn to take action, I'll go help mother."
The Chen family also had fermented glutinous rice balls, glutinous rice balls, and poached eggs for breakfast today.
Seeing that the glutinous glutinous rice balls in the pot were cooked, Mrs. Zhang shouted into the main room:
"Here comes the glutinous rice balls."
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud voice sounded from outside the door:
"It's a coincidence that I came early. I caught up and had something to eat when I arrived."
As soon as Mrs. Zhang heard this, she walked out of the kitchen and saw her eldest daughter coming.
Holding a pig heart in one hand and holding his son Xia Xiaobao in the other.
The eldest daughter's husband's family is having a hard time. In the past, she would only bring some dried vegetables and the like when she went back to her parents' house. This year, she actually brought pig hearts.
Mrs. Zhang was slightly surprised.
What surprised her even more was that her grandson Xia Xiaobao came this year.
The eldest daughter's mother-in-law is willing to let her precious grandson go back to Chen's house with her daughter this year?
What a strange thing.
But even if he comes, he is his grandson after all, so Mrs. Zhang still welcomes him.
Just a little worried.
The children of the youngest daughter's family are also here. Xia Xiaobao, the little bully, should not get into trouble with the children.
Chen Daju saw her mother staring at her son behind her and explained with a smile:
"I heard that my little sister's family is here, so I brought Xiaobao to recognize them."
Mrs. Zhang glanced at her eldest daughter meaningfully.
The eldest daughter's parents-in-law are both unprofitable and unwilling to get married early. Is this the fact that the younger daughter's family is prosperous and has spread to Xiajia Village?
"Why is it just you and the child, where is your man?"
"He went to work to earn money. He was so busy that he didn't come back during the New Year."
