"Is this true?" This is what everyone is thinking.
This is the first time that the village has held a meeting, and everyone still can't come back to their senses for a long time. When they come to their senses, they can't believe it at all, and they almost want to be slapped in the face by others. Is this true? When
Caojia Village has money in the future, this money belongs to Caojia Village and everyone in Caojia Village!
After Caojia Village builds the academy, it will continue to build a charity hall next year to provide a place for the lonely elderly and helpless orphans in the village to live. Li Zheng also said that when Caojia Village has money, it will also build a clinic.
Until returning home, the villagers of Caojia Village were still in shock and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
"Husband, do you think this is true? If someone in our family gets seriously ill in the future and we don't have money to see a doctor, can we ask the village for money to see a doctor?" The brother who followed his husband back home asked his husband in disbelief.
"Puh, phuh, phuh... What nonsense!" The man spat on the ground when he heard what his silly wife said. Why not say someone in his family got seriously ill? "No one in our family will get sick, and we don't need to ask the village for money to see a doctor."
"Oh, yes, I said it wrong, phuh, phuh, I was talking nonsense, we will all be fine."
If what the village chief said today is true, they will not be afraid of someone getting seriously ill in the future. For most of them, if someone in the family gets seriously ill, it is just like lying down and waiting to die. There is no money to pay for doctors and medicine.
The money in the village is reserved for those in need. He and her husband have income from work, so they don't need to rely on the village's relief to survive. In the future, he and her husband will work hard together, and when the child is sent to school next year, their life will get better and better after the child has studied and has a promising future.
I heard that the president of that association is Cao Silang. If Cao Silang leads them, he believes that everyone in Caojia Village will really live a good life in the future.
Isn't the village already building a school? Even the county magistrate has come, and there are so many people from the town. I think that soon there will be a charity hall in their village, and then there will be a clinic. That is, if they get sick in the future, they don’t have to worry about not having money to see a doctor and waiting to die. The village will pay part of the money for them to see a doctor
. "Grandpa, let’s go." Seeing that everyone else had left, his grandfather was still standing here, and said to the boy who was supporting the old man.
"Let’s go." The old man with a cane waved his hand and walked back home with the support of his grandson.
They, the elders, no longer care about the affairs of the village. The affairs of the village have nothing to do with them. Now they see that Caojia Village is getting better day by day, and Caojia Village is also changing day by day.
In the past winters, there were always people in the village who starved to death or froze to death. By the time they were found, they had been dead for a long time. This year, before winter comes, the lonely old people and people with dilapidated houses in the village can live in the academy. The houses there are all made of green bricks and large tiles. They don't have to be afraid of heavy snow. They can come back after winter.
I heard that the academy is built, and all children can go to school and are exempt from tuition.
In the future, a charity hall and a clinic will be built...
But these have nothing to do with them. They have become the elders of the tribe, but they have not done anything good for this village. Now the poverty or wealth of this village has nothing to do with them. The old man's eyes are indescribably lonely.
"Dinner is ready, everyone come and eat." Qi Wanfeng shouted with a smile.
When they came back, the dishes were served one by one, a large plate of braised rabbit meat, a whole pheasant that was stewed with mushrooms, fragrant, soft and smooth, a plate of spicy drunken crab, and two more dishes, and everyone sat down around the table to eat together.
Cao Xiangnan had told Qi Wanfeng not to eat crabs, as these cold things are the worst for pregnant women.
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat."
"Okay."
In the morning, they didn't make rice noodles at his house. The two families made breakfast at their own homes, but they continued to make dinner at his place. The prey that was brought back from the mountains in the past few days was cooked at his house for everyone to eat together.
The game that was brought back these days was actually distributed according to individual gains. Cao Gang and Wang Dahu had hunted a lot of game, so even if they took out a portion to share with everyone, they would have made a lot. So in addition to the wild game cooked on the table every day, there were also a lot of game hanging under the eaves outside his house, all brought by Cao Gang and his friends. It was enough for their family to have meat to eat every day in winter.
Now there is more food at home, and there is no need to worry about being hungry for three meals a day. The children had rice and meat to eat, and they ate with satisfaction.
"Mom, yes." An An pointed to the meat in the pot, meaning that he wanted to eat meat.
Qi Wanfeng put a few pieces of meat from the pot into the child's bowl, and also took two pieces for the other two children.
"Thank you, mommy." Xiangzi saw the extra meat in the bowl, pursed his lips, looked at him and said, "Mummy."
The little one would also say thank you like his elder brother, his eyes were black and bright. The meat in the bowl was still more attractive. He couldn't hold the chopsticks steadily with both hands, and lowered his head and almost buried his little face in the bowl.
"If you want to eat something that's not enough, just call mommy."
"Yeah." I don't know if the child was too hungry before, so now that he has food, he buries his head and eats it hard. Now we eat rice at home, and we cook rice for dinner, and there is meat every meal. But now it's good, the family has food and clothes, and the children are not short of food, every meal can make the children full.
The adults don't need to take care of the older children when they eat, but the younger ones don't have long enough hands, so they need help to pick up the food.
Kang Kang picked up some meat for his mother, Xuan Xuan saw it, pursed his lips, thought about it, picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat for his mother's bowl.
An Ning saw the extra meat in the bowl, said "thank you", and picked up a piece of meat for the child's bowl, and saw the shy look of the child, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
How could his Xuanxuan understand these things before? But now that he has grown up, he is indescribably relieved. However, as a mother, he does not want the child to grow up so quickly.
After dinner, it was getting dark outside, and Cao Gang and the others went back to the opposite side.
The wooden boards covering the windows were taken down, and the outer baffles were lowered to block the cold wind outside. The weather was getting colder and colder, and the windows in the house were now closed, but the weather was not yet necessary to light the fireplace, so the fireplace in the house was not lit yet. The oil lamp in the house was lit, emitting a warm yellow light.
After the children took a bath, this time of day was a rare free time, and Cao Xiangnan would first give the children a short arithmetic lesson.
Considering Xuanxuan's situation, Cao Xiangnan started from the beginning, so that those who had not learned it could take care of it, and those who had learned it could review the content they had learned before. At the end, several children were able to rush to answer questions, but Xuanxuan lagged behind.
After taking a shower, Aning heard Cao Xiangnan lecturing the children, and the corners of his mouth curled up and a smile appeared on his face. He did not go over, but went back to the room and made the bed.
When living in someone else's house, he still paid attention to some things that needed to be paid attention to. He should be grateful and have a clear conscience. "Okay, that's all for today. You all go to bed and we will continue tomorrow." When the time was almost up, Cao Xiangnan did not plan to continue lecturing the children and let them go back to bed.
"Xiangzi, you take care of Xuanxuan, teach her arithmetic, and teach her the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division formulas." Knowing that Xuanxuan was far behind everyone else, and that he didn't have much time to take care of several children during the day, Cao Xiangnan gave the task of teaching Xuanxuan to Xiangzi. The two children had a good time playing together, and they all slept in the same bed at night.
"Okay." Xiangzi nodded, and took the task given to him by Uncle Xiangnan seriously.
"Xuanxuan, you should study with Xiangzi during the day, and ask everyone if you don't understand. Uncle Xiangnan will give you lessons at night, but he will test you one by one. If you can't learn, you will be punished." Cao Xiangnan looked at Xuanxuan and said.
"Yeah." This child is a little proud. Xuanxuan also knows that he lags behind others. He can't answer the questions asked by Uncle Xiangnan as fast as Xiangzi and the others. He also wants to work hard to learn.
Reaching out and touching a few small radishes, with two children leaning on his left and right, Cao Xiangnan stood up and led the children back to the room.
Two children in one room, the two younger ones need someone to take care of them, he made beds for the two younger ones and let them go to sleep. He walked to the next room and took a look. Xiangzi and Xuanxuan had already gone to bed.
After returning to the room, Cao Xiangnan saw the person sitting on the bed sewing a small hat. He looked disapproving and said, "It's so dark in the room, why are you still sewing these things? Didn't I tell you not to touch these things at night?"
Although it was a reprimand, his tone was indescribably doting.
"Just sew this little bit." Qi Wanfeng didn't stop, and just this little edge was almost sewn, "Wait a little longer." He said.
"...I'll do it." Cao Xiangnan sat down opposite Qi Wanfeng and reached out to take it.
"You do it?" The husband reached out to take it, and Qi Wanfeng didn't dare to refuse, so she let go and let the thing in her hand be taken away by the husband. Seeing her husband holding the needle and thread, he smiled and gave him instructions, "Go here, and sew a few more stitches here and it'll be done."
"Be careful not to prick your hand." Prick your hand is no joke.
"Don't look down on me!" I used to sew my own clothes when they were torn, but Cao Xiangnan didn't say this.
It's just that the stitches were not as smooth as Qi Wanfeng's, but in the end he still sewed a few stitches.
"When the baby comes out, I have to tell him that his father also helped sew this hat." Qi Wanfeng smiled as she held the hat that her husband had helped sew.
"Why wait for this little guy to come out? You can tell him now that his mother has made him small clothes, shoes and hats. He should listen to his mother. If he kicks his feet again in the middle of the night, he will be beaten." The person in the womb has not been sleeping well these days. He was woken up by the little rascal in his belly. If he could beat him, Cao Xiangnan would have wanted to beat this little rascal a long time ago!
"... Stop it!" Qi Wanfeng pushed the father who was leaning on his belly to threaten the child. How could a father be like this? He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
