Chapter 269: Master, what should I do?
Mrs. Wen looked at Old Man Wen and asked, "What do you think we should prepare?"
"You make the decision. I can't say for sure."
Wen Zhenyi told them about building a school. No one in the family opposed it, but instead voted in support.
As for where the money came from, they didn't even ask. After all, the money was earned by Wen Zhenyi, and it was her business how she wanted to spend it.
Besides, building a school is a great good deed, how could they possibly object to it?
Wen Yongman's eyes lit up: "Mom, can I go to school in the village?"
Ma Yinghe looked at her youngest son and asked, "You just don't want to stay in town?"
Wen Yongman pouted, "My classmates in town are all so serious. They all have stern faces and speak in a very formal manner."
"I just want to study hard."
"But it's too boring."
Old Lady Wen asked a crucial question: "Yi Yi, after your school is built, what will the teacher do?"
"Grandpa Shen is willing to come back and teach the children. He said he can teach the lessons at home until the school is built."
"That's good."
Wen Yongman pestered Ma Yinghe again: "Mom, can you please let me come back?"
Ma Yinghe was annoyed by his pestering and wanted to hit him.
"Mom, let him come back and study with Grandpa Shen. He has familiar friends in the village and he might learn better." Wen Yongnan took the initiative to speak for him.
Wen Yong looked at him happily: "Brother, you are the best."
Ma Yinghe looked at Old Lady Wen with a headache: "Mom, what do you think about this?"
"Just let him come back. I was thinking of letting your Uncle Shen teach him before, so it's better to let him come back now."
"Wow! Grandma is the best." Wen Yongnan was so happy when he heard that he could read and learn to read with his friends.
He was relatively young in the private school and there were basically no children of his age. His classmates did things in a very methodical way, which made it difficult for him to play with them.
This also led to the fact that he still has no good friends, making him dislike private school even more.
Wen Zhenyi took out the gifts he bought for them: "This is a gift for you."
Ma Yinghe and the others looked at the contents of the box and asked, "Why are you buying such expensive things?"
"It's not that the gold one is too eye-catching. I was planning to buy you gold ones."
Old Lady Wen looked at the hairpin in the box and gave her a sidelong glance: "You just know how to waste money."
"Grandma, if you don't spend the money you earn, are you going to keep it for it to give birth to your offspring?"
Old Lady Wen was choked by her and raised her hand to gently hit her on the back: "You have so many excuses every day."
Although her family thought she spent money recklessly, they were all very happy to receive her gifts.
She also gave jewelry boxes to several other aunts and a red envelope to the uncle who worked here as a reward for his hard work during this period.
But they were all very happy and grateful.
When Wen Zhenyi came back, he sent someone to the county to tell them that he had returned home safely.
She worked as a salted fish at home for three days until the craftsman introduced by Grandpa Shen came to their house, and then she started working.
Master Chang is a bit old, and he is followed by several of his disciples.
Wen Zhenyi's first impression of them was that they were dark. This person must have worked under the sun all year round, which caused his skin to be abnormally dark.
His gray beard and hair were the most eye-catching features on his body. "Grandpa Chang, thank you for taking the trouble to come all the way here."
“It’s not hard, it’s not hard. Brother Shen told you that you want to build a house. Do you have the blueprints?”
"Yes, sit down for a moment, I'll get it for you."
Master Chang sat in the yard with a smile.
Aunt You brought them tea: "Dear guests, please have some tea to quench your thirst."
"Thanks."
Wen Zhenyi took out the blueprint of the house drawn by Shen Hanxing and handed it to Master Chang to see: “Grandpa Chang, can you take a look at this blueprint?”
Master Chang took the blueprint and examined it carefully, nodding his head as he read. "The person who drew this blueprint is really good. They've even marked out all the details. It's no worse than ours."
“Can it be built?”
"The drawings are fine, we still need to go and see them in person."
"You guys take a break first, I'll take you there later."
Master Chang and the others drank some tea, then followed Wen Zhenyi to the village entrance to inspect the terrain.
Wen Zhenyi saw them checking the soil quality, geographical location, surrounding environment, and measuring the area.
Master Chang and his team checked around and came back sweating profusely: "Miss Wen, the ground here is uneven and a little flat. It will take some time."
"That's fine, I just want you to give me the approximate amount of silver I'll need so I can be mentally prepared."
"Okay, I'll go back and calculate it for you today. I need to bring back the blueprints of your house."
"Okay, please give me a definite answer as soon as possible. If possible, I hope to start construction after the autumn harvest."
Master Chang calculated the time and it wasn't long before the autumn harvest. If it was confirmed, he would still need to customize bricks, tiles and other materials, which would also take time.
"Okay, I'll calculate it for you as soon as possible in the next two days. But I can only give you a rough estimate. After all, no one can predict what will happen next."
"I know."
Master Chang hurried back with his apprentice.
Grandpa Shen will not be back from the private school until the end of this month, so we have to wait until he comes back to make plans for the construction of the school.
Wen Zhenyi and Xiong Lu recently started researching noodle machines, which can make noodles faster and save a lot of trouble.
Xiong Lu had made several noodle machine models before, but she was not very satisfied with them. This time, Wen Zhenyi discussed it with her at home and then modified and made it again.
He found some yellow mud, put it on the model he made, let the mud go into a groove, and turned the handle to turn the mud into noodles of the same size and thickness.
However, there may be some stuck situations or some noodles may break during the process.
He is making further adjustments to make the device run more smoothly.
Wen Zhenyi watched him readjust the gears and then continue with the experiment.
If a noodle machine is made, she would consider making dry noodles, which would be more convenient for many people.
She also planned to make instant noodles so that Shen Hanxing could eat something hot when she went to participate in the scientific expedition.
As for the self-heating pot, I don’t have the conditions now, so I can only give up for the time being.
The only thing that is relatively convenient to bring into the examination room now is instant noodles.
She also needs to research the seasoning, and beef jerky can also be considered.
When I think about it, there are really a lot of things to do. I should take advantage of this time at home to get things done one by one.
