The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 272 Mr. Arrived (1)
After thinking about it, An Yi felt that this matter had to be brought up in front of Min Lansheng.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I cooked a pot of Lantern Festival at home and ate it. Su Xiazhi and Min Qinglan had a dull Lantern Festival.

And Jiaojiao also burned up the few small paper lanterns that Su Xiazhi bought her, hugged the crying little girl Su Xiazhi and told her: "We can't buy this anymore, we have to wait for next year's festival." It's time to sell it..."

The [-]th is over, and the New Year is completely over, and people are going to worry about the new year's work.

Su Xiazhi is not worried about not having a job for a year, but feels that she is so busy that she has no time to stay.

As soon as the scholar left, she began to tidy up the small courtyard she newly bought.Because everyone was in slack, and seeing her busy with the children in the village while pregnant, the villagers of Shanxia Village spontaneously came to help.

In the kitchen of the small courtyard, a new stove has been set up, and the pot has been installed, and the sixth aunt has tried the fire. I will start cooking here as soon as the workshop starts on the [-]th day of the first month.

The original furniture in the small courtyard has been taken away by Aunt Gao's second son, and now there are three empty houses in a row. When people stand in the middle of the room and talk, there are echoes everywhere!
I begged Gao Zhongwu to find a few strong laborers, and carried the canopy bed that Min Lansheng used to sleep to the east room of this yard, and Su Xiazhi moved the incense table that was used to worship ancestors during festivals from home, miscellaneous Someone moved two chairs, and it looked like it could accommodate people.

"Scholar's house, how nice is your new house, why are you still putting a bed in this yard?" Aunt Gao looked at her tossing and tossing, a little confused.

"This room is for the teacher and...his brother." He opened his mouth and almost said the word 'his wife', Su Xiazhi paused and said: "Sixteen, sir, it's time to come, you guys Whose children are going to go to school, hurry back and get ready!"

Before the deed of the newly bought courtyard was over, Su Xiazhi had tidied it up neatly, and announced to the neighbors who came to help: "On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the teacher who taught came, and there are children in the family who have reached the age of enlightenment." Just send them all over, anyway, there are not many Shuxiu. Let’s go back and get ready today!”

No one thought that Xiucai's family would open a school first after the New Year!

In the eyes of the villagers in Shanxia Village, this important event, which was impossible at all, was completed when she was silent.

Few of the villagers who have been facing the loess and their backs to the sky for several lifetimes are literate. It's not that they don't know how to read well, but it's because they are poor that children can't afford to read!
Now that the small mountain village has a school, it is indeed a great thing that makes the whole village happy!

After hearing Su Xiazhi's words, several neighbors who were going to send their children to study stood in the yard hesitantly, neither saying to leave nor saying that they would not leave.

"Is there anything else?" The main room is the largest of the three rooms, and it is still vacant.Su Xiazhi planned to go to the town to buy some sets of tables and chairs after lunch, and this room will be the place for the children to study in the future.

"Well, from the scholar's family, what do the children have to prepare when they come to school?" Aunt Gao's eldest daughter-in-law Zhao Yuan asked shyly.

"That's right, his father and I have never even touched a book, and we don't know what to prepare for the child." Another woman also answered, asking the same question.

"What to prepare... Pens, inks, papers and inkstones are always needed." Su Xiazhi also couldn't tell what to ask the children to prepare. She was chased by several people and asked her before she remembered: I don't have any books for reading...

"This depends on what the master says." Thinking of this, Su Xiazhi said to everyone: "The pen, ink, paper and inkstone are absolutely necessary. As for what books to read, we will have to wait until the master arrives."

"Oh." The people who finally understood this time began to disperse.

"Auntie." Su Xiazhi said "auntie", making the two women turn their heads to look at her.Aunt Gao and Aunt Six glanced at each other, not knowing who she was going to talk to.

"Aunt Gao, don't we still have some leftover rice, flour, grain and oil in our workshop, and I will store it for the Lixiwu who moved this yard later. You and Aunt Six will start with you, and we will come here for dinner as soon as the workshop starts tomorrow. "

"Okay, let's go now..." Aunt Gao nodded and left while talking with Aunt Six.

There was no one in the courtyard, and the courtyard doors were wide open, and a row of houses newly built by the Min family could be seen at a glance.

Su Xiazhi looked up at the roof of her house in a daze. The scholar had left for a few days, and she felt that everything was empty, the house seemed extraordinarily big, and the night seemed extraordinarily long.

"Son, mother misses your father..." she said softly, touching her flat stomach.

After lunch, Su Xiazhi washed the dishes, said hello to Min Qinglan, who was holding the child in the yard to bask in the sun, and hurried to the town with Aunt Gao's eldest daughter-in-law, Zhao Yuan.

On the way, the two of them counted all the children who wanted to go to school with their fingers, trying to figure out how many tables and chairs to buy.

"Eight tables are enough, one table can accommodate two dolls, that's about a dozen children." The eldest son of Zhao Yuan's family, Ming'er, is also going to school to study, and now she follows the owner to buy tables and chairs for the children. I was extremely happy in my heart.

"At least twelve tables." Su Xiazhi said unhurriedly: "There are still several little girls, you didn't count them."

"What book do you read?" Zhao Yuan blurted out.

Su Xiazhi stopped, and looked at her with a smile on her face: "I grew up as a girl, and so did you."

"Hey, my boss, I didn't mean that!" Zhao Yuan hurriedly smiled, knowing in her heart that she had said the wrong thing, how many women could do what my boss did?
"Little girls will grow up too, and when they grow up, they will marry and have children. An illiterate mother has a huge influence on their children, so I always think that little girls should study more." Su Xiazhi continued to walk forward after finishing speaking. go.

Zhao Yuan froze in place, carefully savoring what the boss said in her mind. She is a mother who can't read big characters, but as a girl, when she was a child, she also envied that her younger brother could go to school.I also secretly followed my younger brother to the outside of the school, just peeping from a distance outside...
