Teacher Chen Mu was very excited. He had thought that Lin Yifeng's return to teach in Stone Village was just a joke.

Unexpectedly, in less than a week, more than fifty students were recruited.

This is because they dare not recruit students from other schools; otherwise, the number could easily be ten times higher.

Amidst her excitement, Teacher Chen Mu also had some concerns: "Xiaofeng, is there any problem with your scholarship? Is your friend reliable?"

"We've enrolled so many students now, if we had scholarships..."

Chen Mu didn't finish speaking; he was genuinely worried about the student aid issue.

If the scholarship is secured, everything will be fine and everything will be easy to manage.

If the scholarship is just a facade...

Chen Mu couldn't imagine how angry the villagers would be.

"My friend is absolutely reliable!"

Lin Yifeng smiled.

This friend of his was himself.

Do you think it's reliable or not?

“Teacher Chen, you don’t need to worry about this at all. My friend is even considering building a brand new school. The scholarship is nothing to him.”

"Teacher Chen Mu, I'll wait for you to finish collecting the data. Then I'll take the data to the village chief and ask him to allocate more land for me to build a school."

"Let's build a big and beautiful primary school!"

The allure of money is boundless.

Lin Yifeng finished almost all the recruitment work in just one morning.

Next, he plans to build a school, buy textbooks, and take a trip to Shanyang City to open a few Wallace and Mixue Ice Cream shops there.

...

The statistics were somewhat dismal, but they were within Lin Yifeng's expectations.

The 53 people who signed up that day, plus the children of the second and third brothers, the second uncle's family and the fourth uncle's family, made a total of 64 students, less than one-third of whom had attended school.

Of these, 14 had completed second grade, while only 1 had completed fourth grade.

To put it bluntly, seventy percent of the students in this batch of students from Paishi Village were illiterate in their previous lives.

The remaining 30% were all students who hadn't even graduated from primary school, with pitifully low levels of education.

These are the children from the mountains.

Most students have never attended school, and almost all children have not completed primary school.

Lin Yifeng, the other village chief, was unaware of this.

But in Shitou Village, Lin Yifeng is the only vocational school graduate.

"The nation's education has a long and arduous road ahead!"

Lin Yifeng sighed on behalf of the country. He was a rather pragmatic person, and his abilities were limited. At most, he could only build a school in Paishi Village so that the students in the village could study.

As for more villages, Lin Yifeng didn't have the capacity to do so.

"From this perspective, there's really no need to offer classes in the fourth and fifth grades!"

"This year, we'll focus on first, second, and third grade."

Lin Yifeng looked at the data compiled by Chen Mu, thought for a moment, and made a decision: "Open three classes, one for first grade, one for second grade, and one for third grade."

The first-grade curriculum should be relatively easy; second and third graders, get them really busy!

For this group of students, most of whom had never been to school and were older, Lin Yifeng decided to let them get used to the intensity of the high school entrance exam in advance.

Second graders will complete both first and second grade curriculum within one year.

The third graders have it even harder, as they have to learn the material from the first, second, and third grades all within a year.

Fourth and fifth graders will not be included this year; they will be offered next year.

However, talking about tomorrow now is really too far off.

Lin Yifeng plans to stay in Shitou Village for only one year. After that, he will have Wallace and the head of Mixue Ice Cream's charity department oversee the village's schooling and teacher issues.

The charity departments of Wallace and Mixue Ice Cream, simply put, involve spending money on charity, advertising, and incidentally offsetting some of their taxes.

For example, the previous aid to disaster areas, and the Hope Primary School built for Paishitou Village in a while.

Lin Yifeng is not a saint; he does good deeds with a certain purpose in mind.

Lin Yifeng felt it was good to be able to do some good deeds while also seeking personal gain.

Once the student quotas were tallied, Lin Yifeng immediately grabbed his notebook and took Chen Mu to the old village chief's house.

Unlike later rural areas, Paishitou Village did not have a village party secretary or other party members; it only had a village head.

Because the village of Paishitou is too poor, being the village chief not only doesn't bring much profit, but also a lot of trouble.

When some villagers had a conflict, they complained to the village chief, who then had to rush back from the countryside to mediate.

The old village chief of Paishi Village also has the surname Lin, and is somewhat related to Lin Yifeng.

Upon arriving at the old village chief's house, Lin Yifeng didn't stand on ceremony. Instead, he slammed his notebook on the table and shouted, "Uncle-in-law, I don't ask for much!"

"Give me five acres of land; I want to use it to build a school!"

Five mu of land?

Upon hearing Lin Yifeng's request, Lin Jindong wished he could kick Lin Yifeng away.

Paishi Village is located deep in the mountains, and land is extremely precious. This guy actually asked for five acres of land right off the bat. What does he take him for?

Do they think he's the landlord of Shitou Village?

The entire Paishitou Village has 27 households and only a little over 130 mu of land that can be cultivated in two days. Lin Yifeng asked for five mu of land right off the bat. Where was he supposed to get that?

"roll!"

"You little brat, you want me to get you five acres of land?"

Lin Jindong picked up his crutch and was about to hit Lin Yifeng.

The old village chief, Lin Jindong, was of the same generation as Lin Yifeng's father. Seeing the old village chief's ruthlessness, Lin Yifeng remained arrogant, picking up his notebook and slamming it down again.
