The idea came from He Tiantian, but no one in that era knew how to make chalk. So they found white plaster in the mountains to write with.
A bag of plaster blocks was piled up in the corner of the classroom, and several blocks of different sizes were also placed on the table.
Although white plaster contains impurities and doesn't write as smoothly as chalk, it was still a very precious item in this era.
The newly built adobe house was very clean. Looking at his beautiful new home, Mr. Xu was very excited.
“I am just a useless scholar, I never thought that one day I would be treated so kindly by everyone in Changfeng Village. It is my honor, my honor.”
"Mr. Xu, you are too modest. You are a great benefactor to our Changfeng Village."
"Yes, Mr. Xu, you can't cook here. We'll have our family deliver meals to you from now on."
“Then I’ll send some too. My family is poor, but we harvested some new grain this year, so we won’t go hungry.”
Almost half the village came, especially those whose children studied there.
Mr. Xu's eyes welled up with tears as he listened to the villagers' simple and honest words.
"Alright, I, Xu, thank you all."
From then on, Changfeng Village became his second home, and also his last.
The village school is thriving, and some villagers who didn't send their children there before are now regretting it.
After much deliberation, they eagerly sent their child to study there.
Putting aside whether I can pass the civil service exam or not, just being able to recognize a few characters and know how to write my own name will make it easier to find work in the city later.
I heard that in the city, if you can write, you'll earn a lot more money.
He Tiantian was happily watching the children play when she suddenly felt a tap on her back.
"Second sister-in-law, you've come too."
Tao looked very happy. She let go of Zhao Fengnian's hand and said, "Go, go have fun by yourself."
Zhao Fengnian, carrying his cloth bag schoolbag, ran off happily.
Tao then thanked her, "Second sister-in-law, I heard that Fengnian ate meat at your house yesterday. That child is really greedy!"
"It's alright, I was just about to make a batch of meat to store at the restaurant." The weather was getting a bit cold, and it was also a busy time for the restaurant.
"By the way, sister-in-law, how's it going over there?" He Tiantian asked in return. Since they parted ways last time, He Tiantian hadn't had a chance to have a detailed chat with Tao Shi.
"It's fine, it's fine. I'm very content." Tao hesitated for a moment, a little embarrassed, before speaking, "Second sister-in-law, you know that's just how Grandma Fengnian is, so please don't hold it against her..."
Tao felt very uneasy last night after learning that her mother-in-law had caused trouble again.
I was anxious all night and just wanted to go and talk to He Tiantian to get things cleared up.
He Tiantian shook her head, "Sister-in-law, I'm just focused on living my own life now. These people don't affect me."
He Tiantian understood this very well. Dealing with someone as unreasonable as Granny Zhao was simply a waste of her time and energy.
She would be better off using that time to think about how to make more money.
