"Not bad, not bad. It seems that going into business hasn't affected your calligraphy skills."
The old man watched Chen Cixiu write the couplets the whole time, and his eyes were full of satisfaction after he finished reading.
Among all the younger generation, he actually had the highest hopes for Chen Cixiu to continue on the path of teaching and educating people. Among Chen Cixiu's generation, the one with the most patience to teach children was his eldest grandson.
He didn't even take good care of his own brother's grandson.
I never expected that my eldest grandson would go down the path of business.
This is not a bad thing.
No one in the Chen family had ever been involved in business. When Chen Cixiu was studying finance, he had already foreseen this outcome.
Whether it was business or politics, the old man did not object, nor did he force his children to become teachers.
In the past, he would tell his sons and daughters that if they could, they should continue teaching.
But later, he saw through it all, so people like Chen Cixiu could choose what they liked to do, whether it was working, taking the teacher qualification exam, taking the civil service exam, or continuing their studies. As long as they were willing, they could do whatever they wanted.
In fact, Chen Cixiu didn't think much of whether his calligraphy had deteriorated; in fact, he could still show off his skills in front of the children.
Just as his wife said.
He also wanted to prove that he was still as sharp as ever.
I never expected that my grandson's calligraphy hadn't deteriorated at all; in fact, it had improved even more.
Chen Cixiu put down his brush and said to the old man, "Grandpa, how was it? Did I do well?"
"Hahaha, good, not bad, not bad."
The old man laughed heartily.
Each family received a couplet.
It took me four or five hours to finish writing this, and it's already noon.
It's not yet the second nine-day period of winter, and family banquets haven't started yet, so everyone is going back to their own homes for meals. It's not that they can't cook, but there's no need for them at the moment.
"Dad, do you want to eat here or go back to eat with Mom?"
Professor Chen came out wearing an apron and asked.
"I'm not going back. I haven't cooked yet, and I'll just go hungry if I go back."
Grandma spoke first, before Grandpa could even open his mouth.
Jiang Yu was amused by her, "Grandma will eat here."
"That's right."
Grandma was very happy; her granddaughter-in-law's words always made her happy.
"Then wash your hands and eat. Aren't you all hungry?"
Professor Chen immediately said.
The family washes their hands before eating.
After lunch, both Professor Chen and Professor Wu have the habit of taking a nap, not to mention the old man and the old woman.
It's easy to feel sleepy after a full meal, especially since the wind is quite strong today and it's much colder than yesterday.
This is the perfect time to snuggle under the covers and get a quiet nap.
Jiang Yu and Chen Cixiu couldn't sleep, mainly because they didn't have a habit of taking long naps.
Jiang Yu hadn't properly explored the village yet, so she asked him to take her around.
Chen Cixiu was naturally willing to do so.
However, Chenjia Village is much smaller than Luotan Village.
The Chenjia Village was explored in a short time.
The two walked and walked until they arrived at the school.
There are also teachers at the school. Some of the teachers in the countryside have been living in the buildings allocated by the school for decades.
They will live here after they retire.
However, the primary school in Chenjia Village is particularly good, and it even has its own library. This library was proposed and built by the old man before he retired, and he also personally paid for it.
The old man often said that since Chenjia Village produced one like him, more like him would follow one after another.
He hopes that all the children in Chenjia Village can read good books.
The primary school in Chenjia Village has a football field, a basketball court, and a badminton court, and its area is not small.
Chen Cixiu led Jiang Yu along the path to the elementary school. The library was very quiet, but several children were reading inside.
They watched very carefully.
Because it's only one floor, you can see the children just by standing outside.
Jiang Yu said, "I didn't expect them to still be reading books during the holidays."
“It’s like this every year. The library is always open, and these children are very well-behaved. They won’t play around or take books just because there’s no one managing the library. They even take the initiative to keep the library clean.”
Chen Cixiu smiled as he looked at the children, a smile unconsciously spreading across his face.
He had never studied or lived in the village before; he came and went in a hurry. But seeing this scene now, he still smiled knowingly.
There was a bit of boasting involved in telling Jiang Yu this; look how well-behaved the children of our Chenjia Village are.
Jiang Yu nodded and asked, "Can we go in and take a look?"
"sure."
Chen Cixiu led Jiang Yu inside.
The first person to introduce me upon entering was the old man.
The old man's titles and biographies almost filled the entire information board.
After reading the introduction, Jiang Yu was somewhat impressed.
Enter the library.
Actually, it's not much different from a bookstore than a library. Although the school has a large area, the library is only about the size of a classroom, which is quite normal.
After all, it was already quite good to be able to build a library like this in that era.
The bookshelves are lined with books, including children's books, world classics, and books on humanities, history, and geography.
However, these children generally cannot understand them, but that's not the point. These books are placed here so that children who have completed junior high or high school can come back and read them.
