Chapter 53 Minor Problems

The Cai family is living a tight life, but the Yin family's meal today is exceptionally good.

Spicy snails in sauce is a dish that we love to eat recently, so it’s natural to serve it. Another dish is okra in oyster sauce made with fresh oyster sauce.

Today, Song Wenhui specially bought some ribs and made stir-fried meat with carrots.

In the past, it was Jiang Wan and her daughter who earned money to buy things for the family, such as oil and meat. Now that he can earn money on his own, he also wants to buy some delicious food for everyone to eat together.

"Wanwan, the dishes you cook with oyster sauce are really delicious, but the okra is a bit slippery and I'm not used to it."

When Yin Ning heard her father say this and looked at his strange expression, she almost couldn't help laughing.

Not only was he not used to eating it, he would have vomited it out right there if he hadn't been afraid of upsetting his cousin.

"Uncle, if you can't eat it, just spit it out. Everyone's taste is different, and I can't get used to eating this okra."

After Jiang Wan finished speaking, she looked at her aunt and cousin.

"Cousin, are you and aunt used to eating here?"

Mother and daughter: "..."

After a moment of silence, both of them silently took out a small bite of okra from the bowl and put it on the table.

Jiang Wan was happy.

Good guys, among the five of us in the family, only my mother likes to eat okra.

"You guys don't want to eat it? Then I'll eat it all?"

It was a rare opportunity for Yin Huaixi to taste the familiar okra in oyster sauce. His appetite was greatly worked up. He finished the entire plate and drank two bowls of porridge.

Yin Huaishan: “…”

In the past, my little sister would only eat half a bowl of rice and then feel full. Now that the bowls are so much bigger, my little sister can eat two bowls!

My little sister is really suffering...

If Yin Huaixi knew what her elder brother was thinking at this moment, her expression would definitely be indescribable.

In fact, the original owner just needs to have a small appetite.

It was just that when I was little, I heard my nanny say that being fat was ugly, and when I grew up, I heard that Jiang Cheng liked slim women, so I always endured my hunger and said that I was full.

She is a young lady, but she always puts herself in a difficult position. In the original owner's memory, she was only truly happy when she was with her daughter.

Yin Huaixi couldn't do that. She would never let herself be wronged.

As long as the conditions allow, you can eat whatever you want. After all, we can only live for a few decades, so of course we should enjoy ourselves while we can.

She thought so and taught her daughter this way, so both mother and daughter were actually quite generous with their money.

For example, today, as soon as Yin Huaixi entered the city, she bought some candy, a hairband and a hairpin for her own use.

There were several kinds of headbands on the stall, plain ones were one cent each, and colored ones were two cents each.

Yin Huaixi always picked the ones with nice colors, and even for hairpins she would rather pay a few more coins to get ones that were not so old-fashioned in style.

Song Wenhui was reluctant to do so, so she only bought a pair of the most ordinary styles for her husband and herself. She didn't buy any headbands because Yin Huaixi had already bought several pairs, saying that she wanted them to be worn by the two sisters in turn.

After dinner, the aunt and sister-in-law each used a new headband to re-tie their daughters' hair. The two girls loved them so much that they gathered beside the water bucket to look at their looks.

As soon as the old village chief entered the room, he heard the girls' laughter and joy, and his mood improved a little.

He was really annoyed by the noise at home today, and he just got out now.

"Grandpa Village Chief, are you here to see my uncle?"

The old village chief nodded and found a bench to sit down.

"I came to talk to your mother and uncle. Where are they?"

"My mother and aunt have gone to the ditch to fetch water. My uncle is in the toilet at the back. He should be here soon."

Jiang Wan was greeting the village chief, and Yin Ning had already gone to the stove room to pour some water.

Drinking some mint water in the hot weather is quite comfortable. The old village chief thought that the Yin family was really good at educating children.

She is well-behaved, capable, and sweet-spoken, and is really likable.

"Grandpa Village Chief, you are here to talk about the school, right?"

"Yes, it's about the school."

The old village chief took out a square piece of paper from his pocket and unfolded it to reveal densely packed words.

"There are so many people registering that I can't even write them all on this piece of paper. I'm only halfway through writing on the back. How can I teach them all?"

These are the people who knew the news today. There are still some villagers who are not at home or have gone out and don’t know about it. They will definitely make a fuss to register when they come back.

The old village chief had a headache.

The land he approved was enough to build three houses. He originally planned to use one as a school, one as a pharmacy, and the other as a place for the teacher to rest.

There are so many kids nowadays, one room is definitely not enough. His wife even pestered him to enroll his nephews and grandchildren from her mother's family.

He didn't dare to agree.

As soon as he agreed, most of the wives who married into the village would register their children from their natal families.

The old village chief was so worried that he lost a lot of hair.

Jiang Wan thought it was an easy problem to solve.

"Grandpa Village Chief, if there are more children, you can divide them into different classes."

Yin Ning nodded. Her cousin and she had the same idea.

"We can divide the classes and hire another teacher. With two of us together, we don't have to worry about the other class being left unattended."

There are many children, and if they divide the expenses among themselves, it actually won’t cost much for two teachers.

The old village chief sat up straight after listening to this, and felt that what the two little girls said made a lot of sense.

"Hire another teacher..."

"Grandpa Village Chief, have you forgotten the Zhou uncles? Grandpa Zhou is not in good health and may not be able to teach, but Uncle Zhou Er is more than capable of teaching the children. He was even better than my father in the imperial examinations and was the top scorer!"

Yin Ning's words not only shocked the old village chief, but also stunned Jiang Wan.

It turns out that Zhou Erbo was the top scorer in the imperial examination. How disrespectful! He is a hidden boss.

The old village chief couldn't sit still after hearing this and really wanted to go talk to the second son of the Zhou family right away.

But I seem to have heard that the two sons of the Zhou family worked on whose boat in the village? Whose family? I can't remember.

The old villager was old and couldn't remember things. The Zhou family was very low-key when they came to the village and they never appeared in front of him. He really didn't remember these people from the Zhou family.

If it weren't for the girl Yin Ning mentioning it, he would still be worrying about where to find a second teacher.

The old village chief had an idea in his mind, and when he met Yin Huaishan, he asked him about the character of the second son of the Zhou family.

"The second son of the Zhou family? Zhou He. He is a nice guy, humble and polite. When he was working in the Ministry of Personnel, his superiors and subordinates all spoke highly of him. But he has a small flaw, and his colleagues always make fun of him."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

If you have any bad habits, well, forget it.

The old village chief was very worried.

"He is afraid of his wife."

Old village chief: “…”
