Chapter 47 Ask Him to Be Your Teacher

A quarter of an hour later, a group of old men were sitting in the main hall of the village chief's house staring at each other.

"Why did you call us here in such a hurry?"

"Of course it's an important matter."

When the old village chief saw that everyone had arrived, he sent his grandson to guard the gate while he sat down next to the clan leader.

"Didn't a few families come to our village half a month ago? The Yin family is a family of scholars and is very knowledgeable. I want to set up a school in the village and hire Yin Huaishan to be a teacher for the children in our village."

In the school, there are many old things to talk about, and the old guys are not very interested.

"Are you sure you can hire someone to teach the kids? Those former officials have very high standards, and they don't look down on the kids in our village. Have you forgotten how you were rejected back then?"

Of course the old village chief didn't forget.

Ever since the village settled the exiled people, he had the idea of ​​hiring someone to be a teacher for the children in the village.

Unfortunately, those people were too self-righteous to teach the children, and even expressed disdain in their words. Later, many of them found connections to go to the city.

It makes me depressed just thinking about it.

"Yin Huaishan is different from those people!"

"He was exiled because of his involvement, unlike those who were exiled because of their own crimes. Lian Yue has already sent his brother to the Yin family, and he has already started learning to read. Don't you really want your child to be able to read?"

The old village chief was so anxious that he wanted to drag a group of old folks to the gate of the Yin family to take a look.

"What?! He's teaching Xiao Yuanzi?!"

"What?! He really doesn't mind abandoning our village kids?!"

Several old men sat up straight in an instant, their eyes wide open like copper bells.

The old patriarch also had excitement in his eyes, and he directly grabbed the village chief's arm and asked him.

"Have you asked him? Is he willing to be a teacher for the village kids? Does he want a monthly salary or a tuition? How much tuition? How much monthly salary?"

There was a barrage of questions and the old village chief couldn't get a word in.

"Don't worry, brother. I haven't asked him about this yet."

Everyone: “…”

I didn't ask you what you said, but you just made them excited for nothing.

"I haven't asked him yet, but he's probably willing to do so."

"Yin Huaishan is a gentle and generous man, and he is a very upright person. I am 80% sure that he will agree if we talk to him properly. But if he agrees, we will definitely have to build a school in our village, so I have to discuss this matter with you in advance."

As soon as the old village chief finished speaking, the eldest brother of the clan leader spoke.

"What else is there to discuss? As long as he agrees to be a teacher for the children in our village, of course the school will be built. Each family can provide labor, half of which will be used to build the base and the other half to build the house. The school can be built in a few days."

The old patriarch is the most useful person in the entire Lianjiagou. With him speaking, the village chief doesn't have to worry about the school's affairs.

"Don't worry, big brother. I will definitely get Yin Huaishan to be my teacher."

"Okay, okay, then go find him quickly. I'll go back first."

The old patriarch smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face were wrinkled into chrysanthemums. He has four grandchildren, and all of them are smart and clever. If they have the opportunity to go to school, maybe the family's fortunes will change!

Just thinking about it makes my heart surge.

All the old men have children, so naturally they all have their own selfish desires. However, they are the elders of the Lian family, and they are also thinking about the people of the family. As long as there is an opportunity to learn, they will do their best to support it.

After getting the approval of the old fellows, the old village chief went to Yin's house again.

This time, as soon as he entered the house, he saw Miss Yin grinding some powder with a medicine grinder. Only then did he remember the purpose of his coming to the Yin family in the first place.

Oh, I’m so old that I even forget the first thing I do when I walk into the door.

"Yin girl, what are you grinding?"

"Village Chief! Come in and sit down!"

Yin Huaixi smiled and moved a stool over, explaining, "The flour here is ground from roasted clam shells. It's not fine enough now, so we need to grind it finer."

"Clam shells? What's the use of these things?"

The old village chief was really curious and went over to take a closer look. This thing was everywhere on the beach, and the villagers usually dug clams and threw away the shells after eating the meat. Could it be that the villagers missed some treasure?

"Village chief, clam shells can be made into powder after being burned, which has many uses. It can clear away heat, reduce swelling, resolve phlegm and relieve dampness. I have at least thirty prescriptions in my mind that will use it. It is a good medicine."

The old village chief didn't hear anything about the good medicine; his attention was all on the thirty or so prescriptions.

The fact that this girl has so many prescriptions shows her background; her medical skills must be extraordinary.

"Girl, are you going to use this powder to treat Ayong's father's leg?"

"No, he doesn't get medicine from me. I just came to the village and there are no herbs. The most I can do is write a prescription."

Yin Huaixi felt that the old village chief was particularly amiable today, and asked with some doubt: "Village chief, what is the matter with you coming to our house?"

"Yes."

The old village chief glanced at Yin Huaishan who was teaching Xiao Yuanzi to write on the ground and decided not to disturb him for the time being and to talk to his sister.

"I want to ask your eldest brother to teach the children in the village to read on behalf of the village. We can discuss the tuition and the monthly salary. You can talk to him about this later. I will come to your house tomorrow to discuss it in detail."

Seeing how seriously Xiao Yuanzi was learning, the old village chief didn't bother them. After talking to Yin Huaixi, he left.

He had to go back and think about where to build the school. Also, doctor Yin Yatou also needed a pharmacy.

The Yin siblings are truly treasures, and they must be kept for the village.

The old village chief left in high spirits, leaving Yin Huaixi happily grinding clam flour.

Teaching is a good thing. It will save my brother from having to look for work everywhere. It will also make his life easier. It will also help him gain fame and respect in the village.

The old village chief is such a good person.

Hehe~

In the evening, Lian Yuelai took Xiao Yuanzi away. When the family was sitting in the yard eating, Yin Huaixi mentioned what the old village chief had mentioned.

Song Wenhui was so happy that she almost dropped her bowl and said yes with great enthusiasm.

A husband is someone who holds books and pens, and it is his job to teach and educate people.

She felt so distressed when she saw her husband looking so exhausted after coming back from making clay figures a few days ago.

That’s great. Now I can be a teacher.

"Brother, what do you think? Are you unwilling?"

Yin Huaishan calmly swallowed the snail meat in his mouth and said with some emotion: "Of course I am willing, but I didn't expect that my knowledge can be used in this small fishing village."

Although he had never taught a child before, he felt that he was doing a good job teaching Xiao Yuanzi today.

As for the Master, he felt that he was worthy of the title.

At this time, on the way home, Xiao Yuanzi was praising the Master to his elder brother. Of course, the most important thing was to show off the name the Master gave him.

"Brother, do you think Lian Feng is a nice name?"

Lian Yue smiled, nodded and said it was a good idea.

"Hehe~ I think it's very, very good too. I'm going to go back and talk to Maomao and the others about it!"

Lian Yue was delighted with his brother's gains today. Just as he was about to ask more questions, he heard his brother laugh and say, "From now on, they have to call me Brother Feng! Haha! It sounds more domineering than Brother Yuanzi!"

“…”

This is what makes my brother excited...
