In the twinkling of an eye, the Spring Festival is approaching. The hunters in the small village will send the game to the town for some food and drink. Every morning and night, the quiet village will be lively for a long time. The sound of children's laughter and adults' scolding makes the village full of vitality.

Wen Ruolan thought hard for a long time and decided to open a private school in a small village. It's very difficult for the children of these poor families to be literate. They also need a means to make a living. If they can't afford to buy a few acres of land in the spring, they can be self-sufficient.

To make up her mind, Wen Ruolan was the first to discuss with sister-in-law Chen.

Mrs. Chen is a warm-hearted person. Her two children are eight and nine years old. When she heard that Wen Ruolan was going to open a private school, she was very happy and said, "yes, your house is enough. Although the village is not big, we are all hunters and there will be no shortage of repairs."

Wen Ruolan was embarrassed to smile: "sister Chen, Ruolan didn't come here for the sake of shuxiu. Thanks to the care of the villagers, she didn't know anything. She just knew some words."

"It's a good thing anyway." Mrs. Chen turned around and yelled at the door: "Dabao and Erbao come in!"

Dabao Erbao is sister-in-law Chen's two sons. They are tiger headed and mischievous. The children in the mountains are wild. Although they are only eight or nine years old, they are not empty handed every time they go hunting in the mountains.

When the two children heard their mother call them, they put down their catapult and ran in. When they saw Wen Ruolan, they were very embarrassed to shrink behind sister-in-law Chen.

Mrs. Chen took her two sons to her and said, "here, I'll give you these two. I'll tell the neighbors."

"Mother, what are you doing?" Dabao looks back at Chen.

Chen glared at him: "read and read! Please call sir

In this way, Wen Ruolan easily accepted two students.

"Don't worry. We can start class in two or three days. At that time, sister-in-law Chen will need more help." Wen Ruolan left sister-in-law Chen and drove the carriage into the county without delay.

The county is very small, not as big as Fuhe County, but there are still some ink, paper and inkstones. After buying all these, Wen Ruolan looked up and saw a small library.

The library is very small, and there is a sign made of cloth at the door, on which there is a word book.

Push open the door and go in, shaking the snow on the body, Wen Ruolan looked up but did not see people, walked forward a few steps: "someone in?"

"Just look at it. Pay for it." The voice seems familiar. Wen Ruolan doesn't think he can meet acquaintances here. He only thinks that he has heard them wrong. These books are also miscellaneous. He selects some simple and easy to understand notes from them and turns to put them on the table: "boss, how much silver?"

"One or two." The man in thick cotton padded clothes came out from the corner, stretched out his hand and turned over a few books, his eyes widened when he looked up.

Wen Ruolan took out the silver and put it on the table, holding the book to go.

"Wait a minute." That person blurts out, the person also came to the door, blocked Wen Ruolan's way, Wen Ruolan looked up in amazement.

There was a thump in my heart.

Lin Anfeng carefully looked at Wen Ruolan. After a long time, he shook his head and opened his side: "I've recognized the wrong person. You can go."

Until Wen Ruolan drove the carriage away, Lin Anfeng still stood at the door, muttering: "she is dead, dead."

All the way back to the village, Wen Ruolan was calm. The world is not small, but big. Why is Lin Anfeng here? Did he run away after the assassination failed? Find this place to live in seclusion?

Fortunately, no one came out, otherwise it would have been a blessing.

Seeing that Wen Ruolan's carriage came back, Mrs. Chen Ran to her from a distance: "Miss Wen, how can you leave for a long time? Look, we sisters are worried. "

"What's the rush?" Wenruolan jumped out of the carriage and took off the cover.

"What's the hurry? They all came here with their children to visit their teachers. As a result, the teacher closed the door and left. Can you be in no hurry? " Mrs. Chen said, looking at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the carriage, she suddenly widened her eyes: "Miss Wen, you are still a rich man. How can you buy these things?"

Wen Ruolan asked sister-in-law Chen to help take things in with a smile: "I'll clean up my room tomorrow, and class will begin the day after tomorrow."

Mrs. Chen kept telling her to talk when she had something to do, and then she rushed home to make dinner after work.

Wen Ruolan sorted out these things and looked at the wall a little worried. She needed a blackboard, but she didn't know how to make it. If she gave the children writing paper, it would be very expensive to say what she thought.

After a whole night's exploration, Wen Ruolan thought of the sand table, which could solve all the problems.

Early in the morning, she was carrying a basket to look for some sand. As soon as she went out, she saw Dabao and Erbao standing at the door, standing upright like two little soldiers.

"What are you doing here?" Wen Ruolan looks at them suspiciously.

Dabao scratched his hair: "my mother said that my husband can't go out today. If we have something to do, we can just run errands."

"Yes, my mother said that many people are here today, so I can't go out." Two treasures also imitate elder brother's appearance, some dare not see Wen Ruolan.

Wen Ruolan laughed and handed the basket to Dabao: "you two go to pack some fine sand. How about if I don't go out?"

"Yes." Dabao took the basket and pulled his brother. The two brothers ran to the foot of the mountain.

Wen Ruolan came back and nailed a circle of inch high wood around the table in the middle of the room. He went outside and folded some sticks of suitable thickness. Then he put all the ink, pen, paper and inkstone on the rest of the table and set up the stool.

Although the conditions are a little rough, she has at least something to do and can repay the enthusiasm of the villagers.

Dabao and Erbao went back and forth several times and finally got enough of the fine sand. Wen Ruolan also met most of the children in the small village and agreed to start class the next day.

This is a great event in a small village. The village is called Shanqian village. There is not even a serious Lizheng in the village. There is also an unwritten rule, that is, the elders in the village are respected and should be invited whenever they have anything to do.

Wen Ruolan's private school is about to start. Naturally, she has to pay a visit to the elder. Sister Chen accompanies Wen Ruolan to a family in the middle of the village.

The house was clean. The old man was sitting in the morning sun, weaving mats with reeds. Looking up, he saw sister-in-law Chen and Wen Ruolan, and quickly got up: "is this the new girl in the village?"

Wen Ruolan quickly blessed himself: "old man, Ruolan saluted you."

"You're welcome. It's not easy for the girl to come here alone. Come in quickly." Then the old man turned back and called his old companion to make hot tea.

The old man's surname is Wu. It is said that he worked as an apprentice in the county when he was young. He had no children all his life. When he was old, he came back to the village to provide for the aged. People in the small village respect the old people and have insight.

When Wu heard that he was going to open a private school, he was very happy. He looked up and down at Wen Ruolan and praised her. Finally, he gave Wen Ruolan several sets of tables, chairs and benches.

The next morning, as soon as Wen Ruolan got up, the sound of chirping outside the door came. When he opened the door, he saw that the children's faces were white and their clothes were clean and tidy. They all stood at the door.

Some of the adults who sent the children were not empty handed. They were carrying some game, firewood and a piece of pork.

Wen Ruolan let the children into the room. Knowing that the adults were not at ease, she also asked them to come in. After she cleaned up, she began to give a lecture.

The day is busy and steady, but after a few days, the matchmaker comes to the door. Wen Ruolan looks at old man Wu with tears and smiles, and his words stop for a moment.

"Miss Wen, my adopted son is very talented. He's right outside the door. How about meeting you?" Old man Wu looks at Wen Ruolan expectantly.

Before waiting for Wen Ruolan to answer, the door has been opened. Lin Anfeng rushes in and looks straight at Wen Ruolan's face and opens his mouth: "you, you..."
