Chapter 32 County Town Reform



"Why is this situation becoming increasingly wrong?"

"Yes! The capital is in chaos. Even the general has been defeated."

Think about it, who was that person, and how could he be defeated like this? Also, the young people today are more angry than each other, and they are a little scared when they see it.

"You don't have those things at home! I don't want to find those things in your house."

The clan leader looked at the village chief beside him and at Chen Chenfeng. They all knew the heritage of Xiashan Village. Every household had many old and valuable items. They couldn't afford to lose the big picture because of the small things. These things had to be hidden away, and hidden well.

"Don't worry! Everything has been taken care of. I've told everyone to quickly hide all the things they have that can't be seen in the light. It's best to bury them."

Chen Chenfeng knew that the situation would worsen in the next few years, and he also knew that they couldn't be so high-profile anymore. No matter what, they had to keep it hidden and covered up tightly.

"Hmm... okay. Talk to everyone tomorrow and hold a meeting so they can understand the situation outside. Don't think life is easy right now. You're always focusing on the present and not looking at the long term. You need to take a longer-term view."

"It's really a headache to be arguing about those trivial things every day."

"Yeah! Recently, a bunch of troubles have come out."

It was really a headache and annoying. The world outside was in chaos, and some of the things in my village were so tedious that it was annoying.

After the discussion, they each discussed the materials they needed to prepare for tomorrow. Shen Chenfeng also returned home with heavy steps.

“Dad…Dad…”

Seeing Shen Chenfeng's figure, the children all excitedly rushed over and started to get intimate. Miao Guihua felt a little jealous when she saw this scene, and couldn't help but said: "You little flatterers."

"Mom...Mom is the best too."

Chen Yun hugged Miao Guihua's legs to comfort her, she was her mother's caring little cotton-padded jacket.

"Well... Niuniu is the best." Unlike those brats, they are not considerate at all and are just annoying little goblins.

Seeing this scene, Wen Xunqing and Wen Maidong, who had followed, couldn't help but sigh. The Shen family's style was completely different from theirs. They were so affectionate, yet they felt so unfamiliar and awkward. Wen Xunqing couldn't help but look at his grandson's expressionless face.

"Uncle Wen...why are you here?"

"I want to know what's happening outside. What's the situation in the capital right now?"

“Oh… the sky is about to fall…” Shen Chenfeng shook his head slightly and said with a somewhat ugly expression.

Seeing this, both of them looked grim. They had never imagined they would be faced with such a choice. The sky seemed to be falling, what should they do? Chaos arose above, and even more chaos below. They could only pray that dawn would come soon and the darkness would pass quickly.

"Uncle Wen, I'm telling you, don't go anywhere lately. The county isn't safe anymore, and the town is starting to get unsafe too. We're in a remote area, so it's better. No outsiders are coming here, and even if there are, we'll be able to stop them and it won't be a big problem. But don't assume you're safe, so don't wander around. Stay home. Get rid of those contraband items at home as soon as possible."

There must be nothing displayed at the door that cannot be seen. Uncle Wen has quite a few conspicuous things in his house.

"Well, don't worry, I'll take care of it as soon as I get back."

"Yes, yes, we must deal with it."

Wen Xunqing and Wen Maidong both nodded, their hearts also becoming alert. Yes! They weren't as vigilant as before when they arrived in Xiashan Village. They had to carefully count their belongings and make sure no one could catch them.

"Uncle Wen, you have to be careful about this. I heard from Aunt Wu and the others that the nephew in the city sent a letter, and the city has become chaotic. There are red guards everywhere, and searches are being carried out everywhere. The teachers in those schools have been criticized and persecuted, and the students have no desire to go to school anymore."

Miao Guihua's face was serious. She didn't want the old man from the Wen family to come here for refuge and end up in trouble. Their village didn't need to worry. There weren't any crazy people there, nor were there those who wanted to charge into battle at the forefront. Everyone was rational, calm, and clearly followed the village head and clan leader's lead.

"Well, well, the school is closed now. What will happen to the children in the future?"

Wen Xunqing couldn't help but frown when he heard the news. Now that the schools are closed, how can the children's studies and future schooling be solved?

"Yes, this is a big problem. Dad, if you have time, why don't you go to the town and ask. The children still have to go to school."

"No rush. I'll just study at home for the next few years."

Shen Chenfeng didn't think sending the children to school now was a good idea. The city would only get worse, and the schools would be the worst hit. Students wouldn't want to go to school, and teachers wouldn't want to teach. Sending the children out of school was a complete waste of time; they might as well just study at home.

"Self-study...isn't it bad?"

Self-study is impossible without a teacher, so what should I do? My children all love reading, and Miao Guihua wants them to go to high school no matter what. Only high school graduation, if they can be recommended for university, would be even better.

"There's nothing wrong with it. It's better to be quiet at home than in school. The school is already in chaos. The children have no interest in studying, and the teachers have even less interest in teaching. We send our children to school because we want the teachers to pay more attention and teach more. But in this situation, can the teachers still teach the children more?"

"It seems... this is the only way."

Wen Xunqing also fell silent. His original idea was to let his own children go to school with the Shen family's children so that they could take care of each other.

"Uncle Wen, from now on we will set up a study room at home and let the children bring their textbooks while I teach them."

"That's fine! I'm confident in leaving him to you." Wen Xunqing nodded. He was incredibly confident in Shen Chenfeng's guidance. Shen Chenfeng's abilities, skills, and knowledge were all very clear to Wen Xunqing. His grandson had struck it rich this time; if he could learn even a fraction of what Shen Chenfeng could, he probably wouldn't have to worry about his future.

"Okay then, let's start next month!"

There's no farm work next month, so it won't be that busy. Teaching children during the slack season is the most free and easy, and it's also a great time to teach Niuniu. All his children, whether boys or girls, must study and learn.
