In order to receive foreign tourists, if every villager is required to reserve a room for guests to stay, there will definitely be a phenomenon of "competing for guests" in the future, which is not conducive to the unity of the village.
Moreover, in ancient times, people generally had many children, and every family had both boys and girls. It would always be inconvenient to let a strange man from outside live in the house.
In ancient times, people paid more attention to etiquette. If something bad happened, it would not only damage the reputation of the woman or boy, but also affect the reputation of Wujia Village.
Therefore, it would be better for the village to directly plan and build guest houses, and then divide the profits uniformly. This will not only help everyone unite, but also allow them to work more dedicatedly.
Village Chief Wu took a closer look and found that it was indeed written there. So he asked He Jinshu excitedly, "Will our village also build a school in the future?"
Building a school in the village is a great thing. It not only allows the children in the village to study, but also improves the status of their village. If someone can pass the exam and become a high-ranking official in the future, it will have a great impact on the reputation of their village. This will not only bring honor to the family, but also benefit future generations.
After hearing this, He Jinshu said calmly, "We still need to discuss the school with Village Chief Wu and Village Chief Shen. We can build it between the two villages so that students from both villages can study together. In addition to hiring other teachers, I will also teach them when I have time."
"Really?" Village Chief Wu asked excitedly.
If He Jinshu could become a teacher, even if he could pass many high-ranking official examinations in the future, then passing the examination for a scholar would surely be no problem, right? After all, He Jinshu knew so much. Even if it wasn't for the exam, if He Jinshu could just teach these students some of what he knew, it would be enough for them to benefit greatly.
"Of course it's true," He Jinshu said, "but the specific length of teaching time depends on the results of this exam."
Upon hearing this, Village Chief Wu said, "That's okay. When you have time in the future, feel free to give them some pointers. It will also benefit them greatly."
After discussing this, He Jinshu continued, "The money for building the guesthouse will come from the workshop, and the income will also be shared with the villagers. As for the money for building the school, you should also talk to Village Chief Shen. Ah Zhen and I will donate 1,000 silver coins as the construction cost and subsequent development costs of the school.
In addition, I suggest that the village chief can build a bulletin board in the village, where any major events in the village can be posted directly, praising good things and criticizing bad things. Important decisions in the village can also be posted there.
This bulletin board can be used to remind villagers to do more good deeds, and secondly, it can allow outsiders to have a deeper understanding of the development of Wujia Village, and it can also provide other villages with opportunities to observe and learn.
The same thing will happen when the school is built. In addition to the bulletin board, we can also build a monument of honor inside the school. For those who have made significant contributions to the school, their names and deeds can be written on it to encourage students to learn from them.
After listening to what He Jinshu said, Village Chief Wu didn't know how to calm down his excitement. He was once again glad that when He Jinshu first came to their Wujia Village, he did not exclude them just because they were outsiders.
Even when they first came, he saw that their family consisted of the old, the young, and one who was disabled, so he couldn't help but feel sympathy and helped them a lot, which was why he was able to have such great luck ten years later.
After calming down, Village Chief Wu said decisively: "Okay, let's do as Mr. He said. I will go to discuss this matter with Village Chief Shen in the afternoon."
Then he said, "How about holding the banquet tomorrow at noon? The villagers have already collected the money two days ago. We can go to the town to buy vegetables and meat as soon as you return."
"Okay, let's do it tomorrow at noon," said He Jinshu.
After that, Village Chief Wu said goodbye to He Jinshu and went home with a few pieces of paper in his hand.
After seeing off Village Chief Wu, Chen Chen and He Jinshu went to Shenjia Village. They had returned from the capital and wanted to deliver the gifts they brought, and also let Mother Shen and Father Shen meet their grandson.
On the way to Shenjia Village, Chen Chen sat in the carriage and sighed proudly: "It's good to marry close by. I can go back whenever I want."
He Jinshu only smiled faintly upon hearing this, and did not respond to Chen Chen's words.
After arriving at the Shen family, Shen's mother was surprised to see Shen Chen and the others and said, "You guys are back so soon?"
After saying that, he stepped forward and took He Siyi from Chen Zhen's arms.
As Chen Zhen handed He Siyi to Mother Shen, he said, "We left someone there to check the list, and I came back first."
Mother Shen nodded when she heard this, and then said: "That's fine, I'll cook for you at noon later."
"Okay." Chen Chen responded.
After entering the main hall, Chen Chen distributed the gifts he brought to everyone.
Shen Yu took a small toy that Shen Zhen bought for him, then walked to Shen's mother with his short legs, pointing at He Siyi in Shen's mother's arms, and said incoherently: "Brother, play."
He is just over one year old now. He still can't walk steadily and his speech is not coherent. He can only utter a few words at a time.
Seeing this, Mother Shen smiled and said, "My brother is still young now. When he grows up, he can play with Brother Yu. This is the toy that Uncle San bought for you. Have you thanked Uncle San?"
After hearing this, Shen Yu was stunned for a while. After he understood what Shen's mother said, he said in a baby voice: "Thank you, Third Uncle."
Upon hearing this, Mother Shen smiled and said, “Our brother Yu is so well-behaved and sensible.”
Chen Chen, who was sitting on a stool, listened to the conversation between Chen Yu and his mother. He then walked over, picked up Chen Yu, and asked with a smile, "Third Uncle is here. Thank you again, Uncle."
"Thank you, Third Uncle." Chen Yu repeated in a baby voice.
"Is the toy that Uncle San bought you fun?"
“It’s fun.”
Tang Qiao listened to the conversation between the two and said with a smile, "When he saw you off earlier, he was a little unhappy, saying that he wouldn't be able to see his brothers anymore."
"Really?" Chen Chen pinched Chen Yu's little face, then said with a smile: "Our brother Yu is so young and he misses his brother, right? When you grow up a little bit, your uncle will take you and your brother to play in the forest together."
When Tang Qiao heard this, he hurried forward and "grabbed" Shen Yu from Shen Zhen's arms, then quickly sat down in his seat while holding Shen Yu. He then glared at Shen Zhen and said to him, "Stop it! Don't lead my son astray in the future."
Chen Zhen was unhappy when he heard this, so he retorted: "Second brother-in-law, what are you talking about? How can I be considered a bad influence? I am taking him out to see the world. After all, Yu Ge'er will be a man in the future. Don't treat him like a spoiled child."
"That won't work either. What if I can't get married in the future?" Tang Qiao retorted.
