Chapter 294: It’s right to listen to my little girl
Soon, all the children in Daliushu Village, whether they were studying or not, ran to the Su family.
It is rare for children to have toys these days.
Even if the sandbox is not used for writing, it can be used as a toy for children.
In particular, Su Laosi later carved patterns of various small animals on the left and right wooden frames.
"Boss, can you ask your fourth brother to make a sand table for me?"
"Boss, can you..."
As the eldest of all the children in the village, Xiao Tangbao would certainly not refuse the request of his younger brothers.
As a result, every child in Daliushu Village soon had a sandbox.
"Fourth brother, find someone to help you make more sand tables these days." Little Tangbao said, "I'll tell Master that every student will get one after the school opens."
Although there are many children from wealthy families in the school, there are more children from ordinary families.
If we could save some money on pens, ink, and paper, more children from poor families would come to school.
"Okay! Fourth brother will go find someone right away!" Su Laosi agreed.
After all, there are quite a lot of children in the academy, and he might not be able to catch up by himself.
Old Man Su was so proud that his little daughter came up with the idea of a sand table, which attracted all the children in the village to run to his house.
It’s such a glorious thing that I can’t help but want to show off in front of others.
So, Old Man Su took advantage of the time to rest after dinner in the evening, took a sand table, and went to the big locust tree.
Under the big locust tree, there were several old men sitting, some holding bowls of rice, and some holding pipes.
"Brother Wang, can't you write? Come on, write one here."
Old Man Su greeted Old Man Wang directly.
When Mr. Wang saw that Old Man Su’s tail was about to be lifted up to the sky, he knew that Old Man Su was here to show off.
"Tsk! You're just lucky to have a good daughter!"
Old Master Wang has always been well-mannered, but when he saw Old Man Su's appearance, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Old man Su laughed out loud.
"I gave birth to a good daughter, that's my blessing!"
"Yes, yes...you are lucky..."
Mr. Wang also laughed.
Then, he actually wrote a few words on the sand table.
Several old men gathered in front of the sand table and started experimenting on it.
Those who couldn't write also drew a few strokes on it and tried it out with great interest.
An old man in an indigo blue coarse sweatshirt drew a bird on it and then smoothed it out.
Then, he said with a sigh: "Brother Su, let me say that your little girl is really smart."
"That's right. If this were a boy, he would be very smart in studying."
"If it were a boy, he might have passed the imperial examination at such a young age..."
Several old men echoed.
Old Man Su likes to hear others praise his little girl the most.
However, I don't like to hear this.
Fortunately, his daughter is not a boy.
Old Master Wang glanced at Old Man Su and said with a smile, "Fortunately, his daughter is not a boy. If she was a boy, would he be so lucky now? I'm afraid he would be so poor that he can't even afford to eat..."
"Hahahaha...that's true..."
“…”
The others also laughed when they thought of the Su family's bad days in the past.
At this time, Boss Su drove a horse-drawn carriage and came from the road outside the village.
"father!"
As soon as Boss Su saw Old Man Su, he immediately jumped off the shaft of the cart.
"Boss, how is it? Have you reached an agreement?" Old Man Su asked hurriedly.
"Dad, it's settled." Old Master Su said, "There are several families in the neighboring Shitou Village who grow a lot of vegetables. We'll send some over every day. A little further away in Xinghua Village, there are several families who raise a lot of chickens and ducks... and a few families have stored grain at home, so we can sell some..."
Boss Su reported everything to his father one by one.
He had been out all day today, ordering the meat and vegetables needed for the academy.
Originally, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to do it well.
But when I actually do it, it doesn’t feel like a big deal.
The other old men, after listening to Boss Su's well-organized speech, felt both moved and envious.
They really couldn't catch up with the Su family's life even if they tried their best.
"Brother Su, we are going to reclaim the wasteland behind our house tomorrow and plant some vegetables. Will you buy some when the time comes?" asked an old man.
Since someone started talking, others followed suit.
"Brother Su, my family is also thinking of planting a few more rows of vegetables. Would your family like to join us?"
"Brother Su, we want to raise more chickens and ducks..."
"Brother Su..."
After hearing this, Old Man Su said loudly, "Don't worry, we'll take any chickens, ducks, vegetables, fruits, or grains from our village that are for sale!"
After all, our own academy doesn’t need so many people, and there are hundreds of people on Phoenix Mountain.
No matter how much more there is, it will definitely not be enough.
After hearing what Old Man Su said, everyone's faces were filled with excitement.
After all, in previous years, the family only grew some vegetables for their own consumption.
If I take it to the market to sell, the journey is too far and the price is not high, so it is a waste of time.
It’s different now. If we can guarantee that the products will be sold right at our doorstep, that would be great!
Old Man Wang looked at Old Man Su with a grateful expression.
"Old Su, your family has benefited our entire village!" Old Master Wang said sincerely, "Although you are rich, you never forget your neighbors and give back to the people. I admire you, old brother!"
After saying that, he gave Old Man Su a thumbs up.
Old Man Su and Old Man Wang have always had a good relationship. This was the first time he heard Old Man Wang praise and thank him so sincerely, and he felt embarrassed to show off.
"No, no..." Old man Su said modestly with a flushed face.
Old Man Su was modest, but the other old men followed Old Man Wang's suggestion and praised him and expressed their gratitude.
"Brother Wang is right. The people in our village can live like this now thanks to Brother Su and his family."
"If it weren't for Brother Su who killed the tiger on Phoenix Mountain, our village wouldn't have gained so much from Phoenix Mountain in the past few years..."
"The children in our village can go to school for free, thanks to Brother Su..."
"Now I can still make money by raising chickens and ducks and growing fruits and vegetables..."
…
The old men became more and more excited as they talked.
He began to elaborate on the achievements of the Su family one by one.
The after-dinner chat session was turned into a commendation meeting.
Not only that, after dinner, more and more people came to chat under the big locust tree, and more and more people joined the commendation meeting.
For a moment, words of praise and gratitude were flying everywhere, and Old Man Su was almost dizzy from listening to them.
At the same time, I am also glad that my younger daughter let my eldest son take over the purchasing business at the gold mine.
In this way, Daliushu Village can benefit to the greatest extent.
Oh! The little girl is really thoughtful.
No matter what happens, it’s always right to listen to my little girl!
