"Of course it's true! If it were false, my teacher would have scolded me long ago!"
Lin Xue smiled at the old village chief, then glanced at the cheerful Teacher Wujiu sitting next to her.
Now I'm probably something my teacher can be proud of, right?
"You're right, I was confused!"
"I'm sorry, Snow Witch! I shouldn't have doubted you!"
Only then did the village chief notice that Granny Wujiu was still sitting next to him.
If the Snow Witch was wrong, she would have stopped her long ago.
Since no one stopped it, it means that what the Snow Witch said was true.
The old village chief couldn't contain his excitement at the thought that the village's grain production could be improved.
The villagers who had been listening all around also showed excited expressions.
Everyone started discussing in hushed tones what they would do if grain production really could increase.
Of course, most of the discussions revolved around having children.
Few people think about the issue of children's education.
"Village chief, if grain production really increases, does the village have any new plans for the future?"
"For example, education issues?"
"Whether to consult a teacher of academic subjects or a teacher of martial arts?"
"These are all crucial factors in changing the children's destiny. Has the village considered this?"
Lin Xue didn't want the villagers to focus all their attention on having children.
Even if you can have enough to eat, having so many children will still create new pressures.
For example, arranging a marriage, having more children...
This endless cycle will never truly strengthen a village.
Knowledge changes destiny; this is not just an empty phrase.
"To be honest, before you, Snow Witch, raised this question, I never thought of inviting a teacher back to teach the village children!"
“In fact, from generation to generation, we have been a group of illiterate people who cannot read. We have become accustomed to this life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.”
"I never thought about changing anything for our children and grandchildren!"
The old village chief lowered his head in shame.
As the village head, these are all matters that should be within his consideration.
But his first reaction was the same as the villagers': how many more children could the villagers have? Instead of thinking about changing the children's fate.
"Village chief, this is not your fault!"
"After all, you haven't been to the outside world, so you don't know how wonderful it is!"
"But whether you want to leave or to strengthen the village, you must have education, knowledge, and martial arts skills to protect yourself!"
"These things can't be done overnight!"
The two talked for a long time about the children's education until the village chief's eldest daughter-in-law came over and said that the meal was ready.
Only then did the villagers who had gathered disperse and return to their own homes for dinner.
Lin Xue had a meal with the old village chief's family, and then, led by the village chief, she took a tour of the village.
Grandma Wujiu stayed at the village chief's house, chatting with the village chief's wife and the others.
Although Lin Xue's treatment had helped him recover a lot, he had not yet fully regained his vitality.
Some stiff bones cannot be changed by just one or two doses of medicine.
to be honest.
This village is in a really good location.
If you live near a river with a good flow of water, you will not lack water.
Moreover, the village is nestled against a mountain, and across the river lies an endless primeval forest.
The village is located in a relatively flat area with large tracts of farmland.
Much of the land remains abandoned and uncultivated.
On the one hand, the land here is relatively barren, and on the other hand, it is close to mountains and forests.
Even if the land is cleared, it cannot prevent wild animals from attacking it.
Even though someone initially tried to cultivate the land, they had to give up due to frequent disturbances from small animals.
Now, with the beast-repelling powder given by Lin Xue, and the recipe for making the powder given to the old village chief.
The villagers can make it themselves and scatter some around the village year after year. Over time, the small animals will naturally stop coming down.
Lin Xue wandered around the village for most of the day before finally taking Teacher Wujiu home.
"Snow, my disciple!"
"Seeing your progress and your way of dealing with people makes your teacher very proud!"
"Xue, you are the pride of your teacher!"
For the first time, Wujiu truly acknowledged his apprentice.
Having great strength is not enough; you also need to love life and have a kind heart.
If she continues to act the same way as before, only knowing how to play pranks on others, such a witch will never gain genuine love and respect from others.
Even if people respect you to your face, they may still disapprove of you and slander you behind your back...
Only by doing things that truly benefit the villagers will you earn their gratitude.
Only such mutually beneficial relationships can last.
After this trip to the village, Wujiu truly changed the image of his disciple in his mind.
"Thanks!"
"I'm so happy to receive my teacher's approval!"
The master and apprentice chatted for a while longer, and then Wu Jiu personally cooked a dish that the original owner loved to eat most when he was a child.
After the meal, the two went back to rest.
Time flies, and the village has already started harvesting grain.
Daiya, representing the villagers, came over to invite Lin Xue over; they had already finished harvesting all the fields near the river.
Lin Xue also took this opportunity to dredge up the silt from the river and deepen it.
This makes drainage easier, especially in clogged areas. Clearing away the silt allows the river to flow more smoothly.
