In the afternoon, Village Chief Wu came to our house. The village school was almost completed, but the name of the school had not yet been chosen. He came to ask He Jinshu about the naming. After the name was chosen, they still needed someone to make a plaque.
"Since it is a place to train students, let's call it Shengshi Academy. First, we hope that our Dongli Country will be prosperous in the future and prosper from generation to generation. Second, we hope that the students who go out from here can make their own contributions to the prosperity of Dongli Country." He Jinshu said.
After hearing this, Village Chief Wu said, "Okay, okay, I'll talk to Village Chief Shen later. Should He Xiucai come up with the name?"
He Jinshu shook his head and said, "Let Grandpa Wei write the inscription this time. His handwriting is better than mine."
"Was this Mr. Wei also a teacher before?" Village Chief Wu asked curiously.
"Yes, he has been teaching for a lifetime and is now semi-retired. He will invite a teacher to help manage our school later." He Jinshu said.
Village chief Wu was very happy to hear this. Although there were six scholars in the two villages, except He Jinshu, the others were newly admitted this year and certainly lacked teaching experience. Moreover, they still had to prepare for the Juren examination in two years, so they would definitely have to hire another teacher.
Shenjia Village had a teacher before. He was good at teaching, but it might be a bit difficult for him to manage the entire school. If He Jinshu could find a capable teacher to manage the school, it would be the best thing for the people in their two villages.
In response, Village Chief Wu bowed to He Jinshu and said sincerely, "Thank you, Mr. He, for your righteousness."
Although He Jinshu is a junior and does not hold an official position, as an elder, he should not bow to him. However, He Jinshu's contribution to Wujia Village is so great that he, as the village chief, does not know what to do or say to express his gratitude.
Seeing this, He Jinshu quickly supported Village Chief Wu's hand with his arm, and then said, "Village Chief, there's no need to be so polite. I'm also a member of our Wujia Village. If Wujia Village gets better, it will benefit me too."
"No matter what, your contribution to our village is obvious to all. If you need anything in the future, please come to me and I will do my best to help you." Village Chief Wu said solemnly.
"Okay." He Jinshu nodded slightly.
Then he added, "I will have someone deliver the calligraphy to the village chief's home tomorrow."
Village Chief Wu agreed and then said goodbye and left.
After Village Chief Wu left, He Jinshu followed him out. After the two children woke up from their nap, they started clamoring to go fishing in the river again. Chen Chen had no choice but to take them there. Thinking that they should have caught enough by now, He Jinshu prepared to go and take a look.
By the river, Chen Chen had already caught the fish and was now playing with his two children in the shallow water.
There are fish in the shallow water, but there are fewer of them and they are not very big. The two children walked back and forth in the water, eager to catch a fish.
With a "splash" sound, He Sixuan threw his small body directly into the water, pressing the fish with his small body while shouting, "Dad, fish."
His small body was not tall to begin with, and when he dove deeper into the water, he was almost invisible. Even though he tried to raise his neck and call out "Chen Chen", his voice was still unclear because he was in the water. He even drank some river water because he didn't raise his head high enough.
Fortunately, Chen Zhen was always paying attention to the situation of the two children. Seeing this, he rushed over and fished up both the people and the fish.
He Sixuan tightly grasped the small fish weighing more than half a pound with both hands, and then excitedly said to Chen Chen: "Dad, we caught a fish."
As Chen Zhen led him to the place where the fish basket was placed, he said to him seriously, "Don't catch fish like this next time. What if you get choked by the river water?"
I originally brought them here to play, and didn't expect to catch any fish in the shallow water. I didn't expect my brother to be so fierce. He jumped directly into the water and drank two mouthfuls of river water by himself.
After hearing what Chen Chen said, He Sixuan said, "I want to catch fish."
"Next time, Daddy will get you a small fishing net so you can catch fish, but you have to promise Daddy that you won't jump into the river again."
"I understand, Dad." He Sixuan quickly agreed.
Afterwards, Chen Chen brought him to He Siyi's side again, repeated what he had just said to He Sixuan, and then said to them, "Let's play in the water today, and we'll go fishing another day."
"Okay, Dad." The two children responded.
When He Jinshu arrived at the river, he saw Chen Zhen playing with two children splashing water. The two children were fighting against Chen Zhen, but they could not splash more water than Chen Zhen. Both of them were splashed with water by Chen Zhen, but Chen Zhen himself was safe and sound.
The most important thing is that the two children were very happy after being splashed.
When He Jinshu saw this scene, he sighed in his heart that he had never thought that he would marry such a husband who could play with children by the river, climb trees in the mountains to pick wild fruits, and go out to fight with others. He would not care about his identity as a boy at all, let alone other people's eyes and evaluations of him.
But who made him meet her and fall in love with her? Because of this love, he also changed a lot, and this change was all willingly made by him.
"Azhen, it's time to go home." He Jinshu walked to the river and said to him.
Upon hearing this, Chen Chen turned around and said with a smile, "Ashu, you're here?"
"Yeah." He Jinshu hummed lightly, "It's time to go home and prepare to cook dinner."
