Chapter 246 Everyone’s Thoughts
After reading the letter, Jiang Zheng ordered, "Come here, load all the recently mined coal onto the trucks, cover them tightly with oil paper, and send one batch to the Bincheng Palace and another batch to the Fencheng Palace."
The guard added, "Sir, here is another letter for the head of Xiaoshi Village."
Jiang Zheng: "Then find someone to deliver it to the village chief."
During the time Jiang Zheng was stationed in Xiaoshi Village, Village Chief Wang provided a lot of help.
What's more, he heard that Mr. Xie and Village Chief Wang had a special relationship, so he was very willing to make friends with him.
Besides, he is still living in his old house now.
Although the house was burned down, the kitchen and stove were intact. It was close to the back mountain, so Master Xie let him repair it and live there.
Living here is indeed much better than living in the border camp.
Especially the toilet and bathroom, they are very clean and it is a pleasure every time I go in.
When the soldier handed the letter to Wang Dadi, he was still a little confused.
He actually wanted to write a letter to Xie Shuangbai, but he didn't expect Shuang'er's letter to arrive first.
He could recognize some words, and the letter was very simple.
That is to say, he wanted to open a kindergarten and asked them if they would like to come. There was accommodation in Fencheng, and they could just come.
After Wang Dadi finished reading the letter, he looked at everyone in the room and asked, "What do you think?"
Xue spoke first, but she understood everything.
"Father-in-law, this is great news. Shuang'er thought of us first when he wanted to open a private school. This is such a great favor. And the teacher he found is definitely better than ours."
She said solemnly, "Besides, after these two major events, our village has been severely ostracized by the surrounding villages. It will be difficult for Manman to find a teacher in town in the future!"
Wang Shunyi fully agreed with his wife's words.
“Yes, Dad, now that the village workshops have stopped operating, I can leave too.
Xiaoshu asked me before if I wanted to branch out to the outer city, but I didn’t agree. If our whole family goes, I can continue to work there too!"
Cui also had a long-term vision and said to Wang Dadi, "Manman is already five years old. We can't afford to delay him!"
Wang Shunfa also agreed: "Yes, Dad, what Big Brother and Mom said is right, as long as our family is together, we are not afraid of not being able to survive!"
Wang Dadi agreed and said, "Okay, Shunfa is right. We have nothing to fear as long as we are together as a family. Besides, there is Shuang'er there!"
Cui said, "That's right, we still have Shuang'er, so let's sell the land and buy another one in Fencheng!"
Wang Dadi nodded, and the next day the whole village knew that Wang Dadi was leaving Xiaoshi Village, selling his land and moving to Fencheng.
The village was in an uproar for a while.
Although the village chief Wang Dadi has a bad temper, he really cares about the village.
If he leaves and a new village chief comes, it’s hard to say what the situation will be like.
And why did he go to Fencheng? That place is very remote!
Many families in the village were grumbling.
A few days ago, Youranju sent people to Fencheng. As soon as Niu Laosan’s wife heard the news, she talked about it to Niu Laosan.
After receiving the news today, the couple discussed it for a long time and also brought in the fourth and fifth sons to discuss how to find opportunities.
Niu Lao Da and Lao Er are stable in the workshop, but there is only so much space in the workshop, unless that person has committed a crime.
I heard that even Wang Laizi is doing very well now, so you can imagine where there is any chance.
Don’t they think there is a way out?
After lunch today, Niu Lao San stammered and didn't dare to look at his mother:
"Dad, Mom, my brothers and I have something we want to discuss with you and Dad."
Old Mrs. Niu was also a smart person. She knew something was wrong when she saw her sons and daughters-in-law looking at her evasive eyes.
Thinking of what the villagers said in the morning, she began to think about it.
She pretended not to know and asked, "What's the matter?"
Niu Laosan's wife glanced at Niu Laosan, and he mustered up the courage to say:
"Mom, isn't the village chief going to Fencheng? The fourth and fifth brothers and I have discussed it and we all want to go with him."
Old Lady Niu was silent for a moment and then looked at the fourth and fifth brothers: "Is what your third brother said what you meant?"
Niu Laosi and Laowu nodded.
Niu Laosi said dejectedly:
"Mom, what are people saying about our Xiaoshi Village now? Now, only Youranju doesn't look down on us because we are from Xiaoshi Village.
Other shops have clearly stated that they don’t want people from our village.”
Niu Laowu cursed angrily: "It's all the evil Hei San and Zhu Meili who have caused our village to become like this. Otherwise, how could the village chief be willing to leave? He would even quit his job as village chief!"
Niu Lao San whispered: "Dad and Mom, although the eldest and second brothers have stable jobs now.
But we can’t rely on them all. Besides, the children are grown up, and we want them to study. If they go to school, I’m afraid… after a long time, there will inevitably be objections.”
Niu Laosan's words were subtle.
Old Man Niu and Old Lady Niu are not unreasonable people.
Old Lady Niu looked at Old Third Niu and asked, "What about Old Six?"
"I just don't know if Mom and Dad are willing to go to that bitter cold place with the three of us brothers.
If Dad and Mom don't want to, we'll rent a house in town for them, hire a servant to take care of you, and your sixth brother will stay by your side to help us brothers take care of you. We'll come back during the New Year holidays, and we'll give you a generous gift every month."
After saying this, they lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at the two elders of the Niu family.
Old Lady Niu and Old Man Niu looked at each other for a moment, and Old Lady Niu nodded and said, "Just do as you say."
The brothers didn't expect it to be so smooth.
Except for Niu Liuzhuang who was a little depressed, everyone else in the family was quite happy.
Old Man Niu and his wife have been farmers all their lives. Even though they are old, they still have servants to serve them, so they don't feel bad about it.
Only Niu Liuzhuang wants to grow up quickly and earn money to support his family like his brothers!
Although he was leaving eventually, he was still reluctant to leave. Old Man Niu sighed and said, "Let's sell the land at home. I think this Xiaoshi Village is going to be ruined!"
Many families in the village had the same result as the Niu family.
Many people also came to Wang Dadi to ask him to take them with him.
For a time, there were more people selling land in the village than buying it, and Wang Dadi was worried.
Jiang Zheng naturally knew about it, and he went to Wang's house after dark.
Wang Dadi was startled to see Jiang Zheng in casual clothes: "Sir, why are you here?"
Jiang Zheng smiled and said, "I heard that Village Chief Wang is leaving the village?"
Wang Dadi: "Sir, let's go inside and talk."
After Cui poured them some tea, she went out with her wives.
Only Wang Dadi and his two sons were in the room.
Wang Dadi: "To be honest, sir, Xiaoshi Village has been ruined by those two troublemakers.
A relative wrote to me asking me to go live with him, but I thought there was nothing I wanted to stay here for, so I decided to take my whole family and go find him.”
Jiang Zhengming understood that the relative that Village Chief Wang was referring to must be Mr. Xie.
He smiled and said, "That's good. I see many villagers want to follow you."
“Your Excellency is wise, I am worried about this matter.
Land in Xiaoshi Village is hard to sell right now. The journey is long, I don’t have any money, and I don’t know how to get there.”
Jiang Zheng pondered and said, "I do have an idea. I believe the village chief should have sensed that there is something in the back mountain.
Xiaoshi Village will have to be relocated sooner or later. If you are willing to move to Fencheng, I believe the prince will arrange a good place for you."
Wang Dadi thought that there was a difference between walking alone and walking with the prince's protection.
