Era: Seven money-losing girls? They're trying to trick me into having a daughter again!

"Dawei, is there anything else you're not satisfied with?"

Uncle Li tidied up his tools while glancing back at Fang Wei.

"Satisfied! Extremely satisfied!"

Fang Wei took out a Pegasus cigarette and handed one to each of Uncle Li and Li Dakuan, saying sincerely, "Uncle Li, Dakuan, thank you for your hard work these past few days."

"I'll settle your wages this afternoon, according to what we agreed before, at the highest rate!"

"No rush, no rush."

Uncle Li waved his hand, a cigarette dangling from his lips, and chuckled, "You should tidy up the house first. I've been watching you work these past few days, and I've figured it out."

"You've really gotten on the right path, kid!"

Fang Wei grinned but didn't reply.

After seeing Uncle Li and his son off, he stood alone in the courtyard for a long time.

In his past life, he had lived in a manor and driven luxury cars worth tens of millions, but he had never felt as at ease as he did today.

"Dawei..."

Fang Wei turned around and saw Wu Shaoli walking out of the new kitchen, holding a rag in her hand.

She hasn't been idle these past few days either. While Uncle Li and the others do the rough work, she follows behind them doing the finer tasks, such as wiping the windowsill, cleaning the stove, and sweeping up broken bricks... In short, she's never been idle.

Fang Wei reached out and tucked a few strands of wet hair behind Wu Shaoli's ear, asking in a low voice, "What's wrong? Speak your mind."

Wu Shaoli hesitated for a moment, then said, "Dawei... the registration day for the town's primary school is coming soon."

Ever since her father promised to let them go to school, Er Ya has been telling Cai Hua that she must tell her when the day comes!

Yesterday, after Er Ya went out to play and came back, she immediately told her mother that school in town would be starting soon, and she specifically emphasized that her mother must tell her father about it.

Fang Wei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly slapped his forehead: "Right! How could I have forgotten about that!"

These past few days he's been so busy repairing the house and maintaining the old forest farm that he's almost forgotten about his daughters' schooling.

"I'm thinking..."

Wu Shaoli twisted her fingers with a rag, her tone cautious, "Da Ya and Er Ya are going to school soon, do you think... we should take this opportunity to give them more formal names?"

Fang Wei's smile faltered for a moment.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Wu Shaoli quickly explained, "It's not that I think 'Da Ya' or 'Er Ya' sound bad... it's fine to call them that in the village."

"But in the town's schools, all the other kids definitely have proper names."

"If our daughters are still called 'Da Ya' or 'Er Ya', when they go to school... people will definitely laugh at them."

Her voice trailed off, the last few words almost inaudible, "I don't want my daughter to be looked down upon at school because of this."

Fang Wei did not answer immediately, but looked at the two small figures hiding behind the door frame.

Daya clung to the door frame on the left, and Erya on the right. Neither of the two girls dared to make a sound, but all four eyes were fixed on Fang Wei.

In their young minds, "going to school in town" was as wonderful as a dream, and "changing their names" was something they never even dared to think about.

"Big Sister", "Second Sister", "Third Sister", "Fourth Sister"...

These names aren't names at all; they're just random code names given based on the order of birth. These "money-losing babies" don't even deserve a decent name; Fang Wei didn't even bother to think of one before!

"It's my... no."

Fang Wei whispered something to Wu Shaoli, then quickly walked to the doorway, bent down, and hugged Daya and Erya into his arms at the same time.

"Da Ya, Er Ya."

His voice became a little hoarse, "Dad promises you, from now on, as long as you want to study, no matter where, Dad will send you!"

"And your names! Daddy's going to give you new, nice-sounding, and powerful names! We're not going to use 'Big Ya' or 'Second Ya' anymore!"

"Dad... Dad..."

Da Ya hugged Fang Wei, her voice muffled and hoarse: "Really... really okay? Really... really won't... won't..."

"I won't go back on my word."

Fang Wei hugged the two children tighter and whispered, "Dad will never go back on any promise he's made to you!"

"Dad, what...what should Er Ya and I be called?"

When Da Ya asked this question, her voice was still a little hoarse, but there was a hint of coquetry in it.

"I need to think about this carefully."

Fang Wei rubbed her head and said with a smile, "Come on, let's go find your Grandpa Zhou first."

"Grandpa Zhou?"

"Well, we need to go ask Grandpa Zhou what to do if you want to change your name."

Fang Wei asked Wu Shaoli to take his two daughters to change their clothes, and he also washed his face and took out a shirt from the closet to put on.

When he finished getting ready and came out, Daya and Erya had both changed into new clothes, two identical pink jackets that made their little faces look even whiter and cleaner.

"My daughter is so beautiful!"

Fang Wei smiled and said, taking his two daughters' hands, "Come on, let's go find Grandpa Zhou!"

Wu Shaoli stood at the gate of the courtyard, watching the father and his two daughters walk away, her hand unconsciously clenching the rag.

……

Village Chief Zhou's house is located at the south end of the village. His yard is very tidy, and there is a pomegranate tree planted in it.

When Fang Wei led his two daughters to the gate of the courtyard, they saw Village Chief Zhou sitting in the yard, smoking a cigarette.

A large yellow dog was lying at his feet, lazily basking in the sun and dozing off.

"Knock knock knock".

Fang Wei knocked three times on the courtyard gate.

The big yellow dog whimpered, raised its head to look at the door, and then lay back down.

"Fang Wei?"

When Village Chief Zhou saw Fang Wei bring his two daughters over, he was somewhat surprised and said, "Why did you bring your daughters? Is there something you need? Please come in and sit down."

Fang Wei led his two daughters into the yard and stated his purpose directly: "Village chief, I'm going to send Daya and Erya to school in town."

Village Chief Zhou blinked, his expression visibly stiffening for a moment, before tentatively asking, somewhat uncertainly, "You mean... you're going to send your two daughters to school in town?"

"right."

Fang Wei glanced at his two daughters standing close to him and said, word by word, "Not only do they have to study, they have to study at the best schools."

"..."

Village Chief Zhou remained silent.

In Laotang Village, the total number of children currently studying in the town is no more than double digits, and they all come from families with some wealth who place great importance on having sons.

But what did he just hear?

Fang Wei actually said he wanted to send his two daughters to study in town, and to the best school!

"Fang Wei,"

Village Chief Zhou picked up his enamel mug and took a sip of cold tea. His tone was much gentler than before. "I've noticed you go to town every few days. How come you haven't even found out about this?"

"There's no such thing as a 'best school' in town; there's only one!"
