What Xiao Ruanruan didn't expect was that after they had just finished measuring the students at school and returned home, they saw the village chief and many of the village's grandparents waiting at their door.
Moreover, Grandpa and Grandma's faces were as gloomy as the weather, which had been raining for two whole days.
Upon seeing them return, the village chief immediately led the other elderly men and women in the village to greet them, and politely said to Li Mo'er, "Teacher Li, I heard that the school is going to make school uniforms for the children?"
Li Mo'er didn't think too much about it. She felt that it was a good thing for the children to have new clothes to wear, so she smiled and said to the village chief, "Yes, we plan to make some school uniforms for the children, two sets of autumn clothes and two sets of winter down jackets. One set of autumn clothes will be paired with a T-shirt and the other with a shirt. The T-shirt and shirt can also be worn for a while."
Upon hearing this, the grandparents showed no joy whatsoever; instead, they appeared frightened and even angry.
Some impatient people even started criticizing Li Mo'er before the village chief could continue communicating with her.
"Everyone says that you city people are shrewd and cunning, and that you'll do anything to make money. I never thought so before, but now I've seen it for myself. You come here to teach, get qualifications and live off the government, and you don't even spare the hard-earned money of us old farmers!"
You people are like cannibals who eat people alive!
"Why buy school uniforms? My child's clothes are perfectly fine and fit perfectly. We don't have the money! Even if you used my old bones to make oil, you wouldn't get much money!"
...
Some of the more patient people, though anxious, politely said, "Teacher Li, it's not that we're being unreasonable or not supporting your work, it's just that we're poor here."
The children's parents work hard outside to earn money, and they will have to spend money on things like their children's weddings when they grow up.
Kind people bring clothes for the children every quarter. The clothes are all new, and the children can wear them comfortably. We really don't need to spend money buying clothes anymore!
...
When the villagers finished speaking, Li Mo'er understood why they were blocking her doorway and were so angry.
The children were naturally happy to wear new clothes. Although the measurement for new school uniforms did not mention money, the grandparents thought about it more deeply after the children told them about it.
For example, schools have to pay for making school uniforms.
Before Li Mo'er could speak, the village chief looked troubled and said to her, "Teacher Li, I know you mean well by wanting to make school uniforms for the children, but you know the situation in our village..."
Why……"
The village chief sighed as he spoke.
If their conditions were slightly better, they wouldn't have to keep their children in the village waiting for a teacher to come and teach; instead, they would send their children to school in town.
The angry grandparents, reminded by the village chief's words, calmed down. Worried that their harsh words might have angered Li Mo'er and driven her away, especially the grandparents of the sixth-grade students, they immediately apologized to Li Mo'er, saying with difficulty, "Teacher Li, we really don't want to cooperate with your work, but these four sets of school uniforms and down jackets must be worth a lot of money, we..."
"Grandpa and Grandma, did the children mention that they needed to pay for these school uniforms when they came home?" Li Mo'er asked gently.
The group of grandparents looked at each other, then whispered among themselves whether their children had mentioned paying money.
As a result, all the children simply told them that the teacher said they would make new school uniforms for them and that they had new clothes to wear; not a single child mentioned having to pay anything.
The grandparents all looked a little embarrassed.
Li Mo'er then said, "These school uniforms are gifts that my little Ruan Ruan wants to give to her older brothers and sisters."
Grandparents all looked at Xiao Ruanruan. Xiao Ruanruan was already beautiful and cute, and now she had done such a good deed. The way the grandparents looked at her was like looking at the child under the lotus seat of Guanyin Bodhisattva, with deep affection and a touch of piety.
The grandparents left only after sincerely apologizing to Li Mo'er and Xiao Ruanruan.
Li Mo'er took the little ones home; it had been raining for the past few days.
Qingshui Village is actually located in a ravine between two mountains. In such a geographical location, if it rains too much or for too long, the soil will loosen and a landslide could easily bury the entire village.
Fortunately, this area is a forest resource protection zone, and the large trees on the mountain have not been cut down, which helps to conserve water and soil.
It has been raining for three days in a row, and it feels a bit stuffy inside.
Little Ruanruan moved a small stool and prepared to sit under the eaves outside.
As soon as she stepped out of the house, she was stunned by what she saw under the eaves of her own house.
She couldn't help but call out, "Sister Mo'er, come out and see!"
Her shout brought out not only Li Mo'er, but also Su Xiaowu, Su Lei, and Qianqian.
Under the eaves of their house, there were chickens and ducks that had been tied up and thrown there, as well as a basket of neatly stacked eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, and even preserved eggs that had already been wrapped.
There were also neatly arranged, fresh vegetables that looked especially vibrant.
They also have homemade cured meats such as bacon and sausages.
"Who put these under our eaves?" Sisi couldn't help but ask.
"It must be those elderly villagers who were just now; they were expressing their apology and gratitude to us in this way," Su Lei said.
