Chapter 90 The School is Completed

Mrs. Du returned to her room, locked the meat bowl in the cupboard, and brought out a clean bowl. "Hey, this sister-in-law's family must have really gotten rich, to actually be able to prepare such delicious food for you. It takes at least a month to do that, right? How much meat and how much money would that cost?"

Just thinking about it made Mrs. Du feel heartbroken for Grandma Gu.

Old Man Gu took the bowl. "Hey, you're still worrying about them? No matter how much money they have, that's their ability. It has nothing to do with us. But as long as the work is done well, my eldest son, his wife, and I will all get paid well."

There are three people in his family working on it, and they earn sixty cents a day.

After a month, wow. Amazing!

Mrs. Du was also beaming. "Then you must work hard. Don't be lazy. If you get chased back and laughed at by the villagers, you'll lose your wages and such a good meal for nothing."

"I know, I know. I don't need an old woman like you to teach me about my affairs. There are few people in the village these days, so you must lock the door when you go out. If you encounter any problems, come to Nanshan to find me."

Old man Gu took the bowl and didn't rest at home. He turned around and went back.

We were all from the countryside, farmers. The shack in Nanshan wasn't as comfortable as home, but it was nice to find a rock and some shade to lie down and rest.

If he overslept at home, missed work time and was kicked out, who knows how long the villagers would laugh at him.

This scene was repeated in many households in Taohua Village. Those who did not take an extra bowl in the morning would go home and take an extra bowl during the lunch break.

Some families have many people working, and each person fills the bowl with just one chopstick. They take it home in the evening, add some water and vegetables, and cook it. The children at home still can't finish it.

As for Grandma Gu, seeing that half a pork loin was gone in just one meal, her chest ached so much that she couldn't breathe.

Oh my goodness, Guanyin Bodhisattva. I only ate half a pig in one meal. How am I going to live like this from now on?

"Sister, I don't think we should eat like this." Grandma Gu grabbed Aunt Cai's hand and said seriously.

Aunt Cai could not empathize with Grandma Gu's sorrow.

In her opinion, such food is already very low-quality. It has not been carefully crafted, and it is just a big pot of food with no technical content.

But she wouldn't say it out loud to offend others. Instead, she patted Grandma Gu's hand soothingly. "Sister Gu, don't worry. I've already calculated the expenses, and they're within your means."

Aunt Cai was in charge of Gu Jiayue's finances, so she naturally knew how much she could afford. "Besides, if we feed them better, they'll have more energy to work. Maybe we can even finish the project ahead of schedule? That would also save money, right?"

"Oh, this is the only way I can comfort myself." Grandma Gu knew that she couldn't control Gu Jiayue at all. No matter how much she said, the child would not listen to her, always pretending to obey but secretly disobeying, and doing whatever she wanted!

"No, I'll leave the afternoon meals to you. I have to go help with the work." She thought that one more person would mean more strength, which would help them finish the work faster. Besides, it would also save Gu Jiayue some money on food.

"Oh, my dear sister, please don't make trouble. Let's just prepare the meal." Aunt Cai hurriedly grabbed Grandma Gu.

Grandma Gu must be at least 57 or 58 years old. If she gets into trouble by moving things, the family will be the ones who will be tired.

Grandma Gu also thought of this. "Okay, let's take a break and cut the ribs. We can use them to stew radish in the afternoon."

Aunt Cai nodded. "Well, there's still some meat left. Let's use it to stir-fry bean sprouts."

The two old men discussed it, while Gu Jiayue, who was eating in the back, didn't dare to make a sound.

Their meals were set aside separately and placed on a plate on the table, where the younger generations of the Gu family ate.

Although Gu Jiayue had her back to Grandma Gu, she spoke with such a loud voice that it felt like she was speaking right into her ear. It was hard not to hear.

And that look, so real. He didn't even need to turn around to know that his grandmother was rolling her eyes at him.

Gu Jiayue even felt that her grandmother said it on purpose for her to hear.

"Have you guys finished eating? If you're done, go back and rest. You still have classes in the afternoon."

Gu Yuhe chuckled. "Second sister, are you afraid that grandma will come over and scold you? Hey, I'm not leaving. I want to play here after dinner."

He discovered that there were a lot of fun things here.

Gu Jiayue glared. "No, how can I have the energy to attend class this afternoon if I don't sleep? Eat quickly and come home with me afterward!"

Gu Yuhe looked listless, even the meat in his bowl no longer smelled good. "I know, I know." He felt his second sister wasn't gentle and lovely at all. She was even becoming more and more like his grandfather, old-fashioned and nagging.

Oh, when will this day of studying as soon as I open my eyes end?

Looking at the wood outside now, I don’t find it cute anymore.

Others don't know, doesn't he? This is a training hall.

Listening to her second sister and sister Hua Chao chatting, they said that once the school was repaired, there would be more time for classes every day and more things to learn.

Oh my God, I really hope this school will never be repaired.

Unfortunately, no matter how much Gu Yuhe prayed, the school was repaired within a month.

As expected, there is strength in numbers. Originally, according to Gu Jiayue's plan, it would take at least a month and a half, but unexpectedly, in less than a month, a school covering an area of ​​10 mu (about 6,660 square meters) was already built.

System: "Congratulations to the host for completing the second mission. 200 points of education reward. Congratulations to the host for no longer having to worry about his life."

What?

"System, did you miscalculate? Look at this academy I built, it's so magnificent. And you're only giving me this little?"

The system remained unmoved. "Host, your academy may look impressive, but compared to Kyoto's Yunjin Academy, it's nothing. You should keep working hard."

After being criticized by the system, Gu Jiayue couldn't help but search for the layout of Yunjin Academy in her mind. Only then did she realize that her school was indeed a grandson.

"Then... then I need to be rich. Besides, who's behind Yunjin Academy? They're powerful scholars in Kyoto. How can a little idiot like me compare to them?"

System: "Host, continue your efforts. The third task is to recruit students (note: no fewer than twenty)."

Gu Jiayue no longer wanted to complain about the system, this cold and heartless task-giving machine. "Huh, there's no time limit for this third task?"

System: "No, because the host's current health value is already within the safe range, the host can complete the task according to his own plan."

Gu Jiayue nodded with satisfaction. This system is quite user-friendly.

She now has 2984 health points, and as long as she attends classes, she can gain 50 health points every day. So, roughly speaking, even if she doesn't do any missions, she can still live for about eight years.

Huh? Why do I suddenly feel like I can lie down?

But since the school has already been built, how can we just leave it like this? That would be such a waste.

"Come on, let's stop here for this morning's class and go check out the school first."

Gu Jiayue waved his hand and headed towards Nanshan with his five students.
