The team was formed, Li Dashan readily agreed to join the team, and Li Dashan's family will live in the village in the future, and when the school in the village is built, Li Side will also return to the village to study.

Mrs. Gao also made a special trip to present Zhao Yunlan with a screen, which Mrs. Gao embroidered by herself.Gao's embroidery work is not bad, and the embroidered screen is really beautiful, Zhao Yunlan happily accepted this gift.Well~ It may be that Zhao Yunlan has never seen the world, and when she sees these skilled people, and she doesn't know it, she thinks it looks good.

All the affairs in the village were handed over to Mingli, and the business affairs in the prefecture and the county were handed over to Mingyi.

Niu Niu has regained his vitality in the past two days. Niu Niu is Li Mingyi's nickname for the child. He hopes that the child will be as strong as a calf.Niu Niu's illness in those few days worried Li Mingyi and Wu Yi to the core, but fortunately it was nothing serious.

Now Li Mingyi plans to set off back to Fucheng with his eldest brother and sister-in-law, after all, there still needs to be taken care of there.Wu Yi didn't want to bother her children anymore, so she decided to stay in the village.

Mrs. Wang and old man Li will also celebrate the New Year in the village this year. After all, there are many things at home now, and Mrs. Wang has to supervise Li Mingli.

"Sisters and sisters, your eldest brother and I will not be at Niu Niu's full moon banquet, so I will give this gift to Niu Niu first." Zhao Yunlan took out a small golden lock and a jade pendant.

Wu Yi accepted: "Then I will thank Uncle and Auntie on Niuniu's behalf."

The Zhao family knew the time of Li Mingren and Zhao Yunlan's going to Beijing, so Zhao Daliang and Jiang shi came to see them off on this day.

"Girl, I packed some vegetables for you to eat on the way. And these clothes, I made you a jacket because I was worried that the capital would be too cold." Jiang said with concern.

Li Mingren looked at the baggage in Yunlan's hand, and wondered why he didn't have one.

Mrs. Jiang seemed to see what her son-in-law was thinking: "These jackets are two pieces, and you two are wearing the same jacket."

Zhao Daliang stepped forward and patted Li Mingren on the shoulder: "I know you are going to rush for the exam, and you have a heavy burden, but you have to take good care of my daughter in your hands, don't let her be wronged outside, otherwise Don't blame me for not showing affection."

Zhao Daliang deliberately said this in front of his in-laws. Although the Li family has turned over now, no matter what he is a father, he will be his daughter's strong backing.

Mrs. Jiang pulled Zhao Daliang: "What are you talking about? In-laws, don't take offense. He's just too worried. After all, it's the first time my uncle and Yunlan have traveled far away."

Mrs. Wang smiled: "My in-laws are right. As a husband-in-law, he is not allowed to protect Yunlan outside. Father-in-law is also a father, so he must be taught a lesson." As he spoke, he did not forget to poke Old Man Li next to him.

Old man Li hurriedly said: "Yes, this kid is owed."

Li Mingren bowed to Zhao Daliang and Jiang Shi, and said solemnly: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely protect Yunlan well."

Zhao Daliang patted Li Mingren's shoulder, Jiang Shi was a little bit reluctant to part with her daughter, her eyes were flushed.

Zhao Yunlan finally asked Mingyi and Mingli: "Second brother, I will take care of the restaurant and wooden playhouse. If you have anything to do, write to me. Third brother, I will thank you for building a school here. Mr. Find it, and the master will come over after the school is built."

Li Mingyi and Li Mingli nodded.

Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren got into the carriage, and He Wen had already learned how to drive a carriage from Sun Daniu, so he acted as the driver when he came to Beijing this time.Chunxiang and He Hua put away their luggage before getting into the carriage. After Ye Sheng also sat down, He Wen drove the carriage and walked slowly.

The Zhao and Li families insisted on sending the young couple out of the village, but as a result, the sending team grew stronger, and everyone in the village came to send them off.Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren sat in the carriage and called everyone to go back, until the carriage was far away from the village, it seemed that there was a group of people at the entrance of the village.

On the way, Zhao Yunlan asked about Mr. Xuetang. After Li Mingren came back from the county, he simply mentioned that Mr. Xuetang had been found. At that time, Zhao Yunlan was busy arranging matters, so she didn't ask too much.And Zhao Yunlan also believed that Li Mingren could handle this matter well.

The teacher of the school was recommended by Mr. Guo, that is, Guo Xiucai of Zhishan Academy.Li Mingren originally wanted to go to the county school to find a suitable teacher, but after searching around, no one was willing to agree.Originally, Li Mingren planned to look for it later, but he met Guo Xiucai on the road.As soon as the two chatted, Guo Xiucai said that he wanted to recommend someone, and that person was also a scholar.

Li Mingren believed in Guo Xiucai's character, so he was willing to meet that He Xiucai.He Xiucai's name is He Shanze, he is in his twenties, and he is still unmarried.Taoli Village, who lives in Cangshan Town, is also under the jurisdiction of Xihe County, but the location is more remote, and it looks like a mountain from a distance.

He Shanze is the eldest son of the family. His father sent He Shanze to the village school to study and read since he was a child. After studying for seven or eight years, he was admitted to Tongsheng. available.

Who knew that the village was hit by disasters in those years, and the rain for several days washed down the rocks on the mountain and crushed the crops in the field, and the houses near the foot of the mountain were also smashed. Fortunately, it was during the daytime, and everyone consciously avoided this. A disaster, only a few old people and children suffered minor injuries.Almost all the crops in the field were destroyed, and the village could not pay taxes that year. Although the county magistrate exempted them from taxes, everyone still had to live and rebuild their houses.

He Shanze's family lived at the foot of the mountain, and a big hole was smashed into the house by falling rocks. The He family did not dare to live there any longer, so they had to find another piece of land and start a new stove.

Even if Father He encountered such a situation, he didn't want to stop He Shanze's way. He took his wife to earn money together with his life. The family house was rebuilt as a wooden house, and he saved money for He Shanze to study.Fortunately, He Shanze lived up to the hard work of his parents and was admitted as a scholar.

He Shanze's mother was injured because of this.Because I was pregnant with my younger brother and sister during this period, but I didn't dare to eat something good when I was raising my baby because I thought the family would need money.In this way, Mother He's health became worse and worse, and the siblings in the family were also born thin.Father He was the only one left to support the family, and He Shanze felt really sorry for his conscience.I thought it would be easier for the family to be admitted to the show, but I didn't expect that it would make it more and more difficult for the family to be admitted to the show.

Because of years of studying, He Shanze doesn't know much about farming. In addition, he is also frugal when studying outside, and his body looks a little malnourished. He Shanze also helps copy books to make money, and all the money he earns is spent on buying pens, ink and paper Inkstone went up.

Guo Xiucai got to know Dean Qiu because of his luck, and made a living in Zhishan Academy, but Zhishan Academy didn't need too many teachers, so Guo Xiucai didn't want to embarrass Dean Qiu.

He Xiucai also went to other private schools, but as a teacher, if you don't have great talent, you can only rely on connections, and He Shanze is the kind of hard-working student, so you have never been able to get a chance.

Li Mingren met He Shanze, a thin man, only when he went to Cangshan Town.He Shanze is writing a letter for an old lady, and the letter costs ten cents, but the business is not good.Sometimes when encountering those kind of long-winded uncles and aunts, who can't explain clearly to this kind of old people, they have to write a few more pages, and He Shanze has no choice.It's just that after the final calculation, it was found that a lot of money was invested, after all, paper and ink cost more.

Li Mingren saw that this child was an honest child, but he didn't think that he and the child in his eyes were of the same age.

Li Mingren took out the letter Guo Xiucai wrote to He Shanze, and after He Shanze read it, he gave Li Mingren a student salute, and looked at Li Mingren with tears in his eyes.

Li Mingren didn't say anything, and asked He Shanze to sign the contract. The two parties agreed to be teachers in Lijiacun School for two years. After two years, they will decide whether to renew the contract according to the situation. This contract is still very considerate of He Shanze. After that, you may have to take the provincial examination.

Afterwards, Li Mingren gave He Xiucai another five taels of silver, but He Xiucai refused to accept it. Li Mingren said bitterly, "I'm afraid that you won't be able to survive the school when the time comes."

He Shanze blushed and dared not open his mouth.

Li Mingren continued: "Don't refuse, but don't be complacent. The five liang of silver is an advance payment for Shuxiu. You should take care of yourself first. I also know the situation of your family. The family should settle down. Take the money and settle down. If you don’t have enough money, you can find my third brother. Think of it as an advance payment of wages.”

He Shanze accepted the money with sobs, and Li Mingren didn't stay long in a hurry.

Zhao Yunlan thought about these things about He Shanze, if she hadn't passed through, Xiaobao would probably have starved to death.hey~

Looking at Li Mingren in front of him, he only sighed: "The arrangement of fate!"
