Chapter 55 Chapter 55 (3/4)



"Ignore him."

Qin Zhao pretended to continue kissing her, but outside the door, Chen Yanan spoke again: "Qin Zhao, I know you're pretending not to be home again. Open the door for me, this time we're serious!"

Qin Zhao: "..."

This little fat guy is never going to stop.

Qin Zhao's fingers were clenched against the back of the chair until they turned white. After a while, he suppressed his anger. "I'll make a 'No Visitors' sign and hang it in front of the door someday."

Jing Li was also feeling annoyed at first, but seeing Qin Zhao like this, he couldn't help but laugh: "Well, I'll help you."

Qin Zhao's mood suddenly improved. He lowered his head and kissed Jing Li: "You go in first, I'll go take a look."

Jing Li nodded: "Okay."

Qin Zhao straightened his messy clothes and went to open the gate. Chen Yanan and the village chief were standing in front of the door.

Seeing him open the door, Chen Yan'an tilted his head and said proudly, "See, I said he was pretending not to be home. He didn't know why he closed the door in broad daylight..."

Qin Zhao's face was expressionless: "You may have forgotten that my husband and Ayi have a very good relationship..."

Chen Yanan's expression froze, and he immediately became cowardly: "Brother!! Brother Qin, I was wrong!! Please don't let my sister-in-law say bad things about me!!!"

Qin Zhao ignored him and led the two of them in.

Being a little annoyed at being interrupted was one thing, but these two people had been very caring towards Qin Zhao and Jing Li in the village, so they had to show due courtesy.

Jing Li hid in his bedroom and refused to come out. Qin Zhao served them tea and then asked, "Why did the village chief come to see me?"

The village chief said in a serious tone: "I came to you this time because I have a request."

Since Qin Zhaoxing built the dike, many farmers wanted their children to learn to read and write, but most children start school at the age of four or five. They must first attend elementary school to develop their intelligence, and then they can pass the teacher's test and enter private school.

Autumn is approaching and the weather is getting colder. As parents, we are really worried about letting our four or five-year-old children walk for one or two hours along the mountain road to go to school in town.

Therefore, recently many farmers have asked the village chief whether it is possible to open a primary school in the village.

In fact, many villages have their own elementary schools, but in Linxi Village, few people were willing to send their children to learn to read, and the village chief was too old to teach all the time.

This is why there is no elementary school in Linxi Village.

After hearing what the village chief said, Qin Zhao keenly perceived his deeper meaning: "The village chief wants me to run the elementary school?"

Village chief: “Yes.”

Qin Zhao shook his head: "But I have no achievements, I am afraid I can't take on this important task."

"Your fame has spread to the county, do you still need official titles?" The village chief smiled. "The imperial examination is held every year. Countless people have passed, but not one can match that poem. Besides, elementary school only teaches basic literacy. I heard from Yan'an that you were teaching your husband to read before, and now he can recognize words, right?"

"this……"

Xiaoyu's situation was different from that of ordinary children who had not yet developed intelligence, but Qin Zhao did not want to explain too much to him.

Seeing that he was still hesitant, the village chief advised, "I've thought about it. If you're willing, I'll organize the villagers to raise funds to build a school. We'll build it next to your yard so it's convenient for you to come in and out."

"I know you're going to take the Tongsheng exam next year. I can take turns teaching you so I don't have to waste too much of your time."

"As for money, teaching a few children every day can earn you tuition fees. Isn't that more than you can earn copying books for a bookstore? Of course, if you don't want money, I believe the villagers won't refuse if you help with farm work or provide daily necessities."
