Chapter 261 You Must Be Brave
"Very good!"
The villagers finally felt relieved.
"Miss Rong'er, let's make it a deal. We'll send the baby over next month."
Rong'er was stunned. "Why wait until next month?"
The villagers were a little embarrassed. "This year is a good year. In ten days or half a month, the rapeseed and wheat will be harvested. Then we will have money to pay the rent."
Rong Er said readily, "Shu Xiu, there's no rush. Let the child go to school first."
"That's great!" The villagers were overjoyed.
The village head said, "There are no extra tables, chairs, or benches in the school. You must bring your own."
"good!"
"Miss Rong'er, when does school start?"
"Three days later, go back and prepare!"
"Okay, then we'll send the doll over in three days."
The villagers took the dolls back home.
"It's the Fatty House!"
Little Jiuer ran towards the village with his short legs.
"Master Xiaojiu, the head of the village!" A shout came from a distance.
The village head turned around and said, "Oh my god, are these people born in the Year of the Dog? They showed up so quickly!"
There are quite a lot of people coming here, all from all over the place.
Hongfeng Village, Baxia Village, Tanjiawan Village, Baitang Village...all of them came without exception.
The village head pretended to be dumb, "What are you guys doing?"
"Zhuang Lizheng, I heard that there is a female teacher's school in Heihe Village?"
"I heard that if the little girl enters the female teacher's school, she can become a classmate with Master Xiaojiu?"
"That's true," said the village head, "but the place is full now."
The villagers were anxious.
"How come it's full so quickly? This can't be possible, Zhuang Lizheng! We rushed over as soon as we heard about it!"
“The kids in our village also want to go to school!”
"Zhuang Lizheng, if we had known earlier, we wouldn't have come so late!"
The village head snorted, "When I asked you this morning, you all said you wanted to discuss it. Why are you so anxious now?"
The villagers laughed and said, "We didn't know that Master Xiaojiu was also in the Female Teacher School at that time!"
The village head looked at Zhao Xingjian with a headache.
Zhao Xingjian said, "Everyone, my daughter just turned 15 this year and is very young. I suggest you find an experienced teacher to teach her. She doesn't have to go to this female teacher's school."
The villagers looked determined and said firmly: "No, we are not going anywhere, we just want to enter this female teacher's school!"
As the saying goes, when one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit. Being able to be a classmate with Master Xiaojiu is a blessing that you can't even ask for.
"Miss Rong'er, since you've taken in the children from Jingwan Village, Jingui Village, and Zhushan Village, why don't you take in ours as well?"
"Yes, Miss Rong'er, our child also wants to go to school and learn to read and write!"
Rong'er looked at Zhao Xingjian: "Daddy..."
Zhao Xingjian said, "Rong'er, you can make the decision on this matter yourself."
Rong'er nodded. "I want to know how many children are going to the school? That way I can have a rough idea."
Hongfeng Village: "There are five of us in this village!"
Baxia Village: “Four from our village!”
…
In the end, there were thirty children who wanted to sign up, plus the previous fifteen, a total of forty-five children.
"No need to say anything, this won't work!" Li Zhengzhi waved his hands.
"Why?"
"With so many people, there aren't enough classrooms in Heihe Village School!"
The three classrooms in Heihe Village are used to upgrade the children's classes.
Fifteen people could still squeeze in, but forty-five was totally unfeasible.
"This is a difficult problem." The villagers were also in a dilemma for a moment.
"It's not that difficult!" a villager said, "If all our villages work together to build a school, it won't take more than a few days!"
"Build a school together?"
Everyone's eyes lit up, "This method is feasible!"
"Where is the key?"
A school built with the joint efforts of people from all over the place would not be a good choice in any village.
"It will be built in Heihe Village!" The speaker was Xu Laoliu from Jingui Village, the new village head of Jingui Village.
"Heihe Village is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. There is no place more suitable for building a school than here." said Xu Laoliu.
Xu Laoliu's words touched everyone's heart.
Heihe Village is no longer what it used to be, and it shows signs of rapid development. They also hope that their children can get closer to Heihe Village.
Moreover, if the school is built far away from Heihe Village, it will be inconvenient for Xiaojiu to go to school. If the little ancestor is made angry and refuses to go to school, it will be a great loss.
"Village head, look at this..." Everyone looked at the head.
The village head stroked his beard and smiled, "I'm afraid this idea won't work, because there's not even a piece of vacant land in Heihe Village anymore!"
"What?!" everyone asked in disbelief, "Why are there so many wastelands in your village?"
The villagers of Heihe Village have learned to keep a low profile, and since they all work behind closed doors, no one outside knows what happens in the village.
“It’s all used to grow vegetables.”
Everyone was incredulous, "How is that possible? So much wasteland has been opened up to grow vegetables?"
"Even if all the men, women, and children in your village worked together, they wouldn't be able to open up that much land, right?"
The village head's eyes gleamed with pride. "When have I ever lied? You'll know when the time comes."
In another month or two, the vegetables will be ready for picking, and by then it will be impossible to hide it from people in the surrounding area.
"In that case, the school can't be built in Heihe Village." Xu Laoliu suddenly pointed to the edge of the city wall and said, "What do you think? Let's dig out a piece of the mountain next to the city wall and use it to build the school."
Heihe Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the end of the city wall is connected to the mountain.
Someone took a hoe and dug a few hoes.
"It's not difficult to dig. This mountain has a lot of yellow soil. I'm just worried there might be big rocks underneath."
"Don't be afraid!" Little Dumpling suddenly said, "You can dig the mountain!"
Everyone was very happy.
"Master Xiaojiu also wants us to dig the mountain?"
"Then it's settled! The school will be built right here, and our kids will also benefit from the blessing of Heihe Village!"
"Go and call the people from Jingwan Village, Jingui Village, and Zhushan Village to discuss this together!"
People in the surrounding area were discussing it enthusiastically.
Heihe Village did not get involved. The head of the village and others entered the village, closed the city gate, and let them make their own arrangements.
The village head held Xiao Jiuer in his arms and said, "Little Ancestor, why did you agree to them digging up the mountain at the entrance of our village? What good will it do us?"
It feels so safe to be surrounded by mountains.
Zhao Xingjian said, "Xiao Jiuer wants to expand the territory of Heihe Village."
"Yeah!" Little Dumpling nodded.
The village head was stunned. "Expand the territory? Does that mean more and more people will follow their lead and build houses at the entrance of Heihe Village?"
"It will happen sooner or later," Zhao Xingjian said. "If we want to develop, we can't stand still. Otherwise, Heihe Village will always be just a remote mountain village!"
"Yes!" Little Dumpling touched the headman's face, "You have to be brave!"
