The two walked up to Old Man Yan and said with a smile: "Li Zheng, congratulations." ”

"This is all thanks to the two of you, come, the auspicious time has come, let's start." Old Man Yan waved his hand, and Yan Dong and Yan Shan immediately handed them two shovels with red ribbons.

Because Yan Fenglin wants to teach at the school, Yan Shan is also involved in the affairs of the school.

The two took the shovel, and under the order of Old Man Yan, An Ning, Meng Chenxi, Feng Zhiyuan, Yan Fenglin, and Old Man Yan took the shovel together to symbolically knock down the mud bricks of the wall.

Enthusiastic applause rang out.

The dust in the sky was raised, but it could not hide the smiles of the villagers.

Several people took shovels and followed Mr. Yan to the ground outside the courtyard, and symbolically dug the soil next to a wooden stake, representing the official start of work.

There was another round of applause.

Old Man Yan couldn't smile from ear to ear, and his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile.

The villagers greeted each other, and the children screamed, jumped, and ran around happily, their dark eyes shining with hope.

The establishment of the school is equivalent to opening the door of hope for the children. They no longer have to know a few words, they don't even have to write their own names, and they even have the hope of getting out of this remote mountain village.

In the courtyard, there is a long desk, on which are offered three fresh food, fruits, and incense burners, and the five people put down their shovels, light incense, and take the villagers to bow together and pray for good luck.

"Lizheng, congratulations." Meng Chenxi inserted the incense and arched his hand towards Old Man Yan.

"The blessing of the prince of Tomeng."

"Lizheng, it's serious."

The two of them said a few words politely, and next to them, Feng Zhiyuan looked at An Ning with concern and said, "I heard that Miss An Ning has been very busy recently, and I hope that the girl will also pay attention to taking care of her body in her busy schedule." ”

"Thank you for your concern, I understand. In the future, the children in the village will be handed over to Childe to teach, and Childe has worked hard. An Ning responded politely.

When Feng Zhiyuan heard this, he raised his eyes to look at the excited children, a satisfied smile overflowed on the corner of his mouth, and he said sincerely: "Feng never thought that he could do something beneficial to the people with his own strength, and he wanted to thank the girl in person for giving Feng this opportunity." ”

"Childe's words are inappropriate, it should be our whole village to thank Childe."

"Miss Anning, do we really want to thank you like this?" Feng Zhiyuan looked at An Ning with a smile, and said with a smile: "We can be regarded as friends, Feng thinks that you don't have to be too polite to be a friend in vain." ”

An Ning pursed her lips and smiled, "What Childe said is very true, we are friends." ”

"Yes, friend."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Yan Fenglin watched from the sidelines, feeling extremely uncomfortable, but he promised Old Man Yan that he must be measured in the face of tranquility, so he endured his displeasure and looked a little weird.

Meng Chenxi smiled faintly, his eyes turned lightly, he glanced at An Ning, and said, "An Ning, can you hurry back and take a look at things?" The matter here is left to Li Zheng and Feng Gongzi. ”

An Ning was stunned, thinking of the oven, her heart was itching, and she was eager to try the stove.

On the side, Yan Xiaocha's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she hurriedly asked, "Sister An Ning, what is a good thing?" ”

"You come back with me and you'll see." An Ning smiled mysteriously.

"Let's go, I'm going to see."

Old Man Yan watched the two girls leave with a smile, and shook his head dotingly, "Look at this girl, she is really a little impatient, and she doesn't look like an adult at all." ”

"Lizheng, innocence and straightforwardness, this is hard to find." Meng Chenxi said lightly.

Innocence and straightforwardness?

Old Man Yan smiled with satisfaction.

"Meng Chenxi is really comforting. Now that the school is being built, it is believed that it will be fully operational after the beginning of spring. ”

Meng Chenxi nodded, "Li Zheng, Wu Fuzi, I will pick one out of those entourages of mine, now there are two gentlemen, one is a martial master, and two female gentlemen are needed, one to teach the little girls to read and write, and the other to teach the little girls some etiquette and female red." I've been in touch with my friend for many years, and he will help him find the right people, and when the school is built, he will send two female gentlemen over. ”

Hearing this, Old Man Yan smiled even more, and thanked him again and again: "Thank you, thank you, thank you." He looked at the villagers, "Did you hear that?" In the future, not only male children can go to school, but also female children, and Meng Gongzi even invited female gentlemen for us. There is hope for our Niujiao Village, everyone is grateful to Meng Gongzi. ”

When the voice fell, the villagers stepped forward, surrounded Meng Chenxi firmly, and thanked them one after another.

Meng Chenxi raised his hand, his expression was light, "If you want to say thank you, then you will give more support to the medicine field and the medicine warehouse, and when the medicine field is on the right track, that will be the beginning of a good life for our whole village." ”

"Definitely! Childe rest assured. ”

Everyone said in unison.

Meng Chenxi nodded, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, turned around and lowered his head and whispered a few words to Old Man Yan, and then returned to the Gu family in a chic manner.

The oven has been installed, and An Ning is listening to the master explain this operation, and on the side, Yan Xiaocha is also listening to it with relish.

Although she didn't understand it at all.

There is no electricity here, so the temperature of the oven is handled by a charcoal fire, which is more difficult to control.

After listening to the master's explanation, An Ning nodded to show that he understood.

"Master, you work hard, please come to the courtyard for a cup of tea?" An Ning stretched out her hand and made a gesture.

The master shook his head and picked up the tools he brought, "Girl, you're polite, I still have something to do, so I'll go back first." If there is any problem with the use of the girl, just let someone notify me. ”

An Ning nodded, "Okay, since that's the case, then I won't keep the master." ”

"You're welcome, I'm going to say goodbye."

"I'll send it to the master."

An Ning sent the master out of the courtyard gate, and saw Meng Chenxi walking along the path from a distance

Seeing Meng Chenxi coming back along the path, she didn't rush back to the kitchen, but stood at the gate of the courtyard, waiting for him with a light smile.

"Is it okay with things?"

Meng Chenxi's first sentence was to ask about the situation of the oven.

An Ning smiled and shook her head, "It's installed, but you have to try it to know if it works?" Why don't I bake something for you today? ”

Meng Chenxi glanced at her deeply, curled her lips, "Whatever you want." ”

Whatever you want?

With such a cold answer, can't he expect a little?

He walked around, went into the courtyard, and went straight back to his room.

An Ning looked at his back, bit his lip, and stomped his feet, she didn't see it, and after Meng Chenxi bypassed her, the corners of her mouth curled slightly.

……

On the Shi family's side, Lai and Shi Fengzhu returned home exhausted, the house was quiet, only after Yang heard the sound, the wall asked, "Dafu, are you back?" ”

Lai ignored her.

Shi Fengzhu also ignored her, since she knew that she was almost killed by the Yang family when she was a child, she had become hostile to the Yang family.

Now I can't wait for her to go to see King Yama as soon as possible.

Yang listened to no response, and after a change of thought, he asked again: "But Dahua and Fengzhu are back?" Her voice was a little hoarse, since Shi Dafu took the three sisters of the Tian family home yesterday, she has not had any grains in her stomach, and no one has even brought her a sip of water.

She was now hungry and thirsty, and she was still very anxious.

Shi Dafu knew that Shi Jing's matter couldn't be hidden, so he told her the truth. In addition to crying, Yang still gave Shi Dafu the coffin of more than three taels he left privately, and asked him to take Tian Yang to see the doctor.

Still no one paid attention to her.

Yang knew that it must be Lai's and Shi Fengzhu who came back.

She was unwilling, and shouted again: "Fengzhu, grandmother has been hungry for two days, can you pour a glass of water for grandmother to drink?" ”

Hungry for two days?

Lai Shi and Shi Fengzhu glanced at each other, and each other's eyes were full of doubts.

They are not at home, with Shi Dafu's temperament, they should be serving the Yang family with delicious food and drink, how could they starve her for two days? Lai was puzzled, so he went into the house to find Shi Dafu.

After searching all over the house and not seeing Shi Dafu, Lai entered Yang's room and asked without a good face: "What about Shi Dafu?" Why isn't Zilong even at home? Are they going up the mountain? ”

Yang shook his head, "They went to town yesterday. ”

"To town? Still haven't come back yet? Lai's heart was shocked, and she hurriedly went back to the room to check the silver she had hidden, and she was directly dumbfounded because there was no penny.

Lai's angrily rushed to Yang's room and asked loudly: "What did Shi Dafu do with Zilong in the town?" Why did they take all the money from their house? ”

Yang shrunk his neck and looked at Lai uneasily.

"Say! If you don't tell you honestly, don't say it's porridge, it's water, and I won't give it to you. Lai Shi put down the cruel words.

She's fed up and doesn't want to take it anymore.

What bad luck!

I poured blood mold in the county seat, and when I returned home, the bad luck was still unfinished and continued.

After this calculation, she lost more than a hundred taels of silver.

Thinking of this, she was angry, looked around, picked up the crutches in the corner of the wall and smashed it at Yang, scolding while beating, "Old immortal, why don't you die?" Why are you dragging my family down like this? You unlucky old immortal, you brought bad luck to my house and made me unlucky. Today, I'm going to kill you, an old immortal. ”

Lai's eyes were red, and the harder he hit, the harder he struck.

Yang couldn't dodge, and was beaten and screamed by her.

"Big flower, don't fight, please, don't fight. If you keep looking, I won't be able to live......"

"Old immortal, do you say it, what did Shi Dafu do with my silver?" The stick is like rain, and Lai's stick is ten percent harder, regardless of whether Yang can stand it or not.

Shi Fengzhu came in from outside.

Yang Shiru grabbed the only life-saving straw and hurriedly asked for help, "Fengzhu, good granddaughter, you quickly persuade your mother and let her stop fighting." ”

Shi Fengzhu glanced at her and asked Lai's lightly, "Mother, what's wrong?" Why are you making such a fuss? ”

Lai glared at Yang, the stick in his hand did not stop, and said viciously: "Your father and your eldest brother took away all the money in the family, saying that they were going to the town, and I asked this old immortal, but she didn't say it." ”

"What? All the money in the house is gone? Shi Fengzhu exclaimed.

Lai's face was so angry that he gritted his teeth, "It's not, in the past two days, I've really been unlucky." ”

"Fengzhu, Fengzhu ......" Yang looked at Shi Fengzhu with pleading eyes.

"Mother, kill this old immortal, let her be dishonest." Shi Fengzhu said viciously, his eyes were full of anger.

Yang was stunned and his eyes widened.
