Next to the beach near Guojiacun, Chang Pingning was listening to Meng Xia telling her that Butler Liu would serve milk tea on her behalf for the guests who came to catch the sea. Liu Qingwan was on the side, supervising Butler Liu and Chang Pingning.

"You can't expect a rich lady like her to serve milk tea to the people in the town with her own hands, right?" Meng Xia complained to Chang Pingning, half-truthfully.

Chang Pingning laughed after hearing this, and was about to say that there was no need to go to such trouble, Meng Xia could just stagger the time.But when I saw several aunts nearby who were on duty, I looked at them with an appraising look, remembering the "kind-hearted" aunt who wanted to marry Meng Xia yesterday.

I don't know if Meng Xia's behavior today has anything to do with the aunt's "promise" behavior.

Chang Pingning didn't say anything funny, just nodded and agreed, and showed Liu Qingwan the account book he had written down a few days ago.

Meng Xia didn't expect Chang Pingning to obey their arrangements so much without any objections or asking her about her next plans. She was very satisfied with Chang Pingning's peaceful attitude.

Meng Xia praised Chang Pingning a few words, and then took the initiative to say that she would go to the village school to teach the people in the village literacy and accounting. She also invited Chang Pingning to teach them when she was free. She saw that Chang Pingning That's fine now.

Chang Pingning smiled helplessly: "How can I do this? I haven't visited the port for several days, and I don't know how my eldest brother and second brother's stalls are doing, as well as Ruilan and Qiuhong. Auntie’s stall…”

Halfway through, Chang Pingning stopped talking. What if they drove themselves to the port after hearing these complaints?Anyway, Liu Qingwan can now collect the money for her.

It's one thing to be unwilling to do some work, but it's another thing to be driven away and not allowed to do it.

However, Meng Xia probably didn't realize Chang Pingning's little thoughts. She smiled at Chang Pingning, waved to the two of them and returned to the village.

Liu Qingwan smiled at Chang Pingning, found a seat aside and sat down, looking through the account book that Chang Pingning showed her.

The weather has cooled down, and fewer people have come to the beach recently than before.

Chang Pingning watched indifferently. Occasionally he saw Liu Qingwan next to him and wanted to talk to Liu Qingwan, but found that Liu Qingwan was looking at the sea in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.

Chang Pingning looked at Liu Qingwan's appearance and felt that Liu Qingwan appearing on the beach was like a painting, so she unconsciously lowered her voice and movements.

Compared with Liu Qingwan, an ordinary peasant woman like her was like clouds in the sky and gravel on the ground. How could the gravel dare to disturb the clouds?

After a few days, Chang Pingning didn't even hear whether the ready-made seafood was being processed in the village.Chang Pingning guessed in his heart that this matter would probably be settled.

However, Chang Pingning occasionally saw Liu Qingwan in a daze next to the beach, and would also wonder if Meng Xia arranged this work at the Liu family, and Liu Qingwan went out to supervise her work, in fact, to avoid outsiders who frequently visited their home?
Chang Pingning's occasional random thoughts only exist in her heart.

In Liu Qingwan's view, Chang Pingning beside her was unexpectedly quiet.She was used to seeing people around her who were flattering, looking for words when they had nothing to say, and even saying unintentional things to praise her.

Liu Qingwan had seen a lot of that kind of people since she was a child, whether it was the maids around her when she was a child, or the official wives who flattered her later in the capital. Even from the capital to here, there were still some people who wanted to support her along the way.

It was rare to see Chang Pingning being quiet around him.Liu Qingwan thought that sometimes she would even ignore Chang Pingning's existence.

"How come you two are sitting side by side like this and not talking?" Meng Xia didn't know when she appeared next to them.

Chang Pingning stood up in shock.Liu Qingwan was also startled, patted her chest lightly, and said angrily: "You showed up so suddenly, why didn't you say hello?"

After hearing Liu Qingwan's words, Meng Xia took a few steps back in amusement: "I'm about to show up. Are Miss Liu and Madam Chang ready?"

Chang Pingning was amused by Meng Xia's words.

So did Liu Qingwan, but she held back her smile and rolled her eyes at Meng Xia.

Meng Xia walked back into them with a smile. He didn't take Liu Qingwan's eyes to heart at all, and asked the two of them with a smile: "Don't you two feel embarrassed if you don't talk?"

It was more like saying hello. Without waiting for their reply, Meng Xia continued: "I'm here to see Mrs. Chang. Someone just wants to eat seafood." The smile was bright, as if she didn't say "eat seafood" but "come to give money." ".

Chang Pingning and Liu Qingwan were both infected by Meng Xia's money-loving smile, and smiled as they waited for her next words.Unexpectedly, Meng Xia wanted Chang Pingning to go to the school with her to cook for those people.

"Ah? School?" Chang Pingning was surprised. She had never thought that a serious academic place like a school would be tainted with the smell of copper. "Isn't it appropriate to do business in a school?"

Meng Xia seemed to understand Chang Pingning's concerns. She explained to Chang Pingning that she planned to use the money for the school in the village.

When she was teaching people in the village how to read, she found that many people in the village couldn't come even if they wanted to because they couldn't afford Shu Xiu.And after hearing that she taught everyone how to read and keep accounts for free, there were not only some elderly ladies in the village, but also some children.

There are even some children from neighboring villages who want to come to the school in their village and let Meng Xia teach them how to read.

Chang Pingning nodded, knowing that what Meng Xia said was normal.Her eldest brother, because the family didn't have enough money, only went to school for a few years. After learning a few words, he went back to farming.

In the nearby Guo family, the mother-in-law sent her third and fourth brothers to enlightenment, which immediately aroused the jealousy of the villagers.

"Look, I can't teach them in vain, right?" Meng Xia said confidently, "Today there happened to be businessmen from other places who wanted to come to eat seafood, so I wanted to arrange this job in the school in the village, which can be regarded as borrowing the space in the school. .

"In this way, after I receive the money given by the businessmen, part of it will be used in the school, so that people in the village will not be able to steal business from me." Meng Xia said, and suddenly sighed, "Many people don't have pens or pens. Paper, you can only practice calligraphy on land and sand. If the people in the school give you a lot today, buy a simple pen and paper for the people in the school first."

Chang Pingning was stunned. She didn't expect that Meng Xia, who usually loved money as much as life, would be so serious about teaching the villagers how to read... Chang Pingning suddenly thought that her own literacy seemed to be inspired by Meng Xia. Taught.

"Is there anything I can do?" Chang Pingning asked, she was infected by Meng Xia's attitude.

As if she knew Chang Pingning would say this, Meng Xia smiled at Chang Pingning and said, "You come to school with me, and we'll cook lunch together today!"

Liu Qingwan looked at the two people in front of her: "What about me?"

"You continue to stay here and count the money, Miss Liu!" Meng Xia said, patting Liu Qingwan on the shoulder.
