Chapter 321: Unable to overcome my own difficulties
Wen Zhenyi smiled and nodded: "Yes, but he also has a share of what you salvaged, so I'd like to trouble you to deliver it to me separately."
Haiwa's father nodded repeatedly: "Okay, no problem."
When Village Chief Haiyun and the others knew Wen Zhenyi had arrived, they all rushed over, carrying a lot of things in their hands: "Miss Wen, it's a good thing you're here. It saves us from making this trip."
Wen Zhenyi looked at what they were carrying. There were all kinds of seafood, some dried, some fresh, and even quite a few big lobsters.
"I said I would ask Haiwa to help me deliver the holiday gifts, but I didn't expect you to come by yourselves." Wen Zhenyi asked Axiang to distribute the holiday gifts they brought to everyone.
Village chief Haiyun and the others looked at the things in their hands. There were cloths, snacks, tea, chickens and ducks, and even wine. These were all extremely valuable gifts.
"Miss Wen, your gift is too generous."
"It's not serious. I want to build a workshop here when I have enough funds. You guys have to come and help me then!"
"Of course, of course."
Half of the things in Wen Zhenyi's carriage were taken out and half were taken back.
When they left, the people of Hougang Village saw them off to the village entrance. Everyone was thinking, how great it would be if this Miss Wen was from their village.
At this time, a commoner remembered something: "Oh no, I forgot to ask Miss Wen about the school."
Village Chief Haiyun also slapped his forehead and said, "No, we have to go again tomorrow."
Wen Zhenyi didn't know what they said afterwards, but walked towards Dongshan Village.
There were tenant farmers in Dongshan Village who rented land. They were considered to be her employees, so she did not bring them any holiday gifts. Instead, she gave each of them a red envelope and told them to buy whatever they needed.
The tenants looked at the heavy purses in their hands, their hearts filled with emotion. They wiped their wet eyes with the backs of their hands and said, "Thank you, Boss."
"No need to thank me, this is also due to your hard work. I don't know what you need, so I will just give you some silver and buy it yourself. It's a rare New Year, so let the elderly and children at home have a good year."
"Thank you, Boss."
After Wen Zhenyi finished speaking, he and Axiang walked towards the Jiang family at the end of the village.
The Jiang family's hunting efficiency is now higher than before, and the risks are much lower, and the injuries in the family have been alleviated.
"Grandpa Jiang."
Old man Jiang looked up and saw Wen Zhenyi and A Xiang carrying bags and things into the courtyard. He quickly stood up and went to greet them: "Miss Wen, why are you here?"
"It's almost Chinese New Year, so I came to give you some holiday gifts. I also wanted to trouble you with something."
"If you have something to say, just let someone know. There's no need to come here in person and give us gifts."
"This is different. Don't complain that I don't bring enough things."
"Sister Wen." The children at home heard the noise in the yard and ran out of the room.
"Hey, you guys are all here."
A group of children looked at her with a smile: "Did you buy anything for us?"
"Yes, you can divide it among them later."
Old Mrs. Jiang and the others also came out of the room and scolded the children: "You have no manners."
Several children didn't dare to speak and lowered their heads.
"Grandma Jiang."
Old Mrs. Jiang looked at her and smiled, "They are just naughty kids. Don't take it to heart."
"No."
Wen Zhenyi stuffed the things into the children's hands and motioned them to go play.
The children then ran away happily.
"Uncle Jiang and the others are not here?" Wen Zhenyi looked at the people in the yard. Only Uncle Jiang, who had difficulty walking, was at home. The others had all gone out.
"They went to the mountains to check on the prey in their previous traps."
"Grandpa Jiang, I'm here this time to ask you to help me catch some game."
"What kind of game do you want?"
"I don't care about wild game. I just want to give some gifts to some people I know."
"Sure, whenever you need it, we'll catch it and send it to you."
"Before the New Year, I'm going to the county town in a few days. If you've caught any wild boars recently, you can send them to me. Aunt Shi Hui and the others are there."
"Okay, we'll send it to you then."
Grandpa Jiang suddenly remembered something: "Miss Wen, I heard there is a school in your village?"
"Yes, classes will start after the Chinese New Year."
"Can you let our children go?"
"Of course you can, but I have one condition."
"What conditions?"
"Just let Uncle Jiang come to my school to teach."
Second Uncle Jiang injured his leg and now walks with a limp, making it difficult for him to go up the mountain to hunt. That’s why there is no talk of the Jiang family splitting up.
So the Jiang family is very united and doesn't care whether he is still able to work. They are willing to support their whole family.
Old Man Jiang and Uncle Jiang were both stunned: "Let him teach?"
"right."
"He can't read a word."
"I don't want Uncle Jiang to teach writing, but I want him to teach archery, hunting and survival skills."
“Is this what the children in the school are supposed to learn?”
"On the road of life, who knows what kind of situations you will encounter? Learning more is not a bad thing, right?"
Old man Jiang looked at his second son. He had been much quieter since he was injured. He used to be a cheerful person.
No one in the family had any complaints, but he just couldn't get over his own problem.
Wen Zhenyi turned to look at Uncle Jiang: "Uncle Jiang, are you willing to teach the children in the school? There won't be classes every day, but one class every seven days. I can pay you and also waive your child's tuition, accommodation, and food expenses."
Uncle Jiang looked at Old Man Jiang and said, "Dad, I want to go."
"Go ahead and teach the children all your skills."
"good."
Wen Zhenyi told them the start date of school and asked them to report to school on time.
The Jiang family also gave them holiday gifts in return, which included a lot of game and some animal skins.
When Wen Zhenyi arrived, the carriage was empty, but when she left, it was already full of things. Even she sat next to Axiang and drove back to the village with him.
But when she returned home, she saw the yard was also full of things: "Where did this come from?"
Today, only a little girl named Qin Yue was at home. She scratched her head and said, "I can't really explain it."
Wen Zhenyi could only go and look at the notes they left behind. Some of them were sent by Mayor Meng's family, some were sent by Uncle Biaozi, and some were sent by Magistrate Lei.
There was also the owner of the tofu stall. Everyone in the village who had had any contact with their family gave them holiday gifts.
"Can holiday gifts be given together?" Wen Zhenyi looked at Axiang in confusion.
"Master, you're asking the wrong person. I don't know anything at all."
"Put them all away first. We'll see what to do with them when grandma and the others come back."
