Chapter 140 It’s nothing



"Husband, what should we do now?" Qi Wanfeng had to pour cold water on his husband and asked.

Yes, what should we do now? Cao Xiangnan looked at a group of little radishes who were so happy because they didn't have to go to school. Now that they heard that they didn't have to go to school, they all made a fuss in the yard. The adults of several families went to work. If these children didn't go to school, they still had to discuss this matter first.

"For this question, um, I'll talk to Wu Yue and Chen Hong later and ask what they think. If they want to continue to send their children back to school, then their children will be sent back to school. Our children will not go to school for the time being and stay at home." Cao Xiangnan said that they can make the decision for their own children, but they still have to ask the opinions of other people's adults about their children.

Sun Bailian is here, and he also said that his children will not go, so the opinions of the remaining families are left.

The school in the village is run by the Cao clan, so it is no wonder that the third elder's words can make the teacher drive their children out. Cao Xiangnan does not want the future of his children to be controlled by the elders in the clan. It is imperative to set up a school, but if he wants to build a school now, it will not be something that can be built in a day or two.

"We have space at home. We can build a shed there and put tables and chairs in it. It will serve as a temporary place for the children to study." Cao Xiangnan pointed his finger at the open space on the side, thinking that it would only take a day to build a shed there. "The children can study and learn to read at home first. I will try to spare some time every day to teach the children. If I can find a teacher to teach them to read, I will invite a teacher to our home."

"In the future, the children at home don't have to study all day. They can study for half a day, take a nap after lunch, and arrange for them to do something else for the rest of the day." When the children were sent to school, it was just to enlighten them and let them learn to read and write first. Cao Xiangnan didn't want to train them into nerds who only knew how to study and do nothing else.

After hearing what her husband said, Qi Wanfeng nodded, knowing that her husband would make arrangements.

Wu Yue and Li Mei happened to be with them, so they quickly called them over. They were also surprised to see a group of children not going to school.

Cao Xiangnan explained the matter to them, so this matter was also caused by their children. He also told them clearly that he was going to build another school in the village, and the children could learn to read and write here temporarily, and then go to the new school together after the school was built. He said, "So I'm asking you what you think now. If you want to send your children back to school, it's okay to send them back."

"If your children don't go, my Doudou won't go either. I'm also worried that my Doudou will be bullied if he goes there alone." Wu Yue had quarreled with his family over sending his child to school, but after hearing Cao Silang say that he would not send his child to school, he was stunned for a moment and made a quick decision.

After all, the fight between the kids in the school was caused by others bullying An An because he was a little boy. An An still had the bruise on his forehead. If his own son Doudou went to school with him, there would be someone to protect him. If there was no one to protect him, he would be bullied. That’s why he didn’t dare to send his own little boy there alone.

Besides, the school there was closed, and the kids wouldn’t continue to neglect their studies at Cao Silang’s place. Cao Silang would arrange for the kids to continue to learn to read and write. He was living a good life at home with Cao Silang, so Wu Yue naturally wanted to continue to follow Cao Silang. There was no need to create a barrier between them because of the kids’ studies.

"Since Silang can arrange it, then it's done. My two boys won't go. I'll leave my two boys to you. If they are naughty, just whip them. I won't blame you later." Li Mei was also straightforward and decided that her two boys would not go either. "

It just so happens that my father is at home. I'll ask him to come and help look after the children when he's free." Fearing that a group of children would be difficult to discipline, Li Mei suggested that her father come to help look after the children.

He is working here now, and his husband also has work to do. In the past, when he went to the fields, the children could follow him to the fields. Now he is working here, and he is afraid that he can't take care of the children. But if the children are here, he can come out and look after them when he's free. Anyway, it's enough to have someone to take care of the children. It's much better now than before. He feels relieved to leave the children to Cao Silang. It's better than following him.

Besides, Cao Silang's yard was big, and he didn't worry about the children running around after closing the door.

So Wu Yue and Chen Hong didn't have any problem with this matter, and decided not to send the children to school.

Later, Chen Hong came to Sun Bailian's place to help make lunch. Sun Bailian told Chen Hong about this matter, and there was no problem with this one, which meant that as long as someone

took care of the children, it would be fine. Chen Hong was now in charge of the vegetable planting in the village. He gradually got the hang of this job. He knew who in the village planted how much vegetables, what vegetables they planted, when they were planted, and when they could be harvested. Cao Silang needed a lot of vegetables for cooking every day in the village, and he had to arrange for people to deliver the vegetables every day.

When he was free, he would go to the fields to see how other people's vegetables were growing. He also grew some vegetables at home. Fortunately, he had a grandmother who would help to look after things at home. Chen Hong would also go to other villages to check out the situation there. If someone in another village had good vegetables and the price was cheap, he would go back and tell Cao Xiangnan and buy all the vegetables back.

Many people in the village grew vegetables, but the speed of growing vegetables could not keep up with the speed of eating. Fortunately, he went to the neighboring villages several times and became familiar with them. People in the neighboring villages who had vegetables to sell would come to him, so many people in the neighboring villages also started to grow vegetables.

Chen Hong never knew that his life could be so busy. This kind of busyness was different from the past when he just farmed. He liked his life now more. Knowing that Sun Bailian and Qi Wanfeng were busy, he would come over to help cook every day, not forgetting that everything in his home was given to him by Cao Silang.

Under the scorching sun, Cao Xiangnan went to Sun Bailian's place to find two people to help build the shed. He also helped here. He didn't put on airs just because he got rich. Everyone liked him as a friendly boss.

"The shed has been built so quickly, is there anything I can help with?" Chen Hong came over from Sun Bailian's place and saw that the shed was already being built. The families had a good relationship, and he and Cao Silang spoke in a familiar tone.

He also learned about Cao Silang's arrangement from Sun Bailian, and he thought it was good. The reason why the children were sent to school was because he saw Cao Xiangnan's children being sent to school. He didn't expect his two boys to be the top scorers, and knowing a few words was enough. It's not that they don't need to study now, but they will wait until the new school is built before sending them there.

"Chen Hong, you are here. You don't need help. Don't stand there in the sun. Come over here to a cool place." Cao Xiangnan's face was red from being exposed to the sun. He drank a glass of water and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Chen Hong knew what Cao Silang wanted to say to him when he saw him coming. He said, "I have already heard about this from Bai Lian. The Third Elders are too bullying. It's okay if I don't go to the school, and my children won't go either."

This matter was caused by him, and Cao Xiangnan also expressed his apology.

Chen Hong waved her hand and said she didn't care, and then the two talked about the harvest of vegetables in the village. The crops in the fields will be harvested in a while, and everyone will be busy with farm work. Cao Xiangnan told Chen Hong that he would go to see whose vegetables are harvested, "It's OK if there is anyone in the neighboring village who has good vegetables, and harvest a batch of vegetables first."

"No problem, leave it to me." Chen Hong almost patted her chest to promise.

It happened to be noon at this time, lunch was cooked, and a group of children went to the big kitchen to eat. Cao Xiangnan called out and asked the two men who worked with the children to go over to have lunch, and the rest would be prepared later, and he took Chen Hong over there.

"Auntie..." Cao Nianwang and Cao Baowang shouted happily when they saw their mother coming over. Chen Hong walked over and patted the heads of the two little ones, told them to eat well, and greeted everyone.

Now everyone is working here, and they will provide everyone with a meal at noon, so everyone is eating here now. A group of children don't need anyone to take care of them, they just sit there and eat. Qi Wanfeng saw Chen Hong coming and asked him to sit down and eat with the children. Chen Hong happened to be not eating, so he sat down without being polite.

Everyone sat down and talked. Knowing that the school kicked Goudan out, the brothers were angry about it.

Children fight, so let them fight. There is no need to ask the teacher to kick the children out just because of the fight. After all, it is bullying a child who has no father or mother. Fortunately, Cao Silang protects Goudan. Several brothers said that Qi Wanfeng and Cao Silang were kind-hearted. Especially when they knew that Cao Silang was going to build a school, they all said that they would send their own children to study there.

After hearing that Cao Silang was also going to build a school, the brothers who wanted to bring their children here with Cao Silang and study and learn to read with the children of several families also gave up that idea, thinking that they could send them to school later and there was no rush. In the past, they did not dare to think about sending their children to school, but now they all wanted to send their children to school.

"Okay, no problem. We will reserve seats for your children in the reserved seats." When Cao Xiangnan heard that everyone wanted him to reserve seats, he laughed and said, "I don't have to worry about no one coming to study when the school is opened."

Indeed, the school in the village has been running for so many years, but there are only a few children who go to school. So it can be imagined that there are not many people in the whole Caojia Village who can read. Many families have no one who can read in three generations.

If possible, Cao Xiangnan hopes that all the children in the village can be sent to the school. The road was being built in the village. He felt unspeakable sadness when he saw the children who followed their father to work because he gave them a meal. Subconsciously, he did not want to see the village so poor and backward.

Without Cao Xiangnan realizing it, he was not only changing his family, but also the people around him and the village he lived in.
