After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

When Magistrate Ling saw Member Ding saluting him, he pretended to cough and said, "Comrade Ding, I express my condolences."

Member Ding quickly replied with fear and sincerity: "Yes, yes, thank you for making this trip. Ding is really ashamed."

Member Ding was much more cautious towards Magistrate Ling than towards Yan Qingqing.

Who asked County Magistrate Ling to come from a big family? Although he was not as high in rank as Yan Qingqing, in terms of weight and connections, it was difficult for Yan Qingqing to match him.

Magistrate Ling said nonchalantly: "You don't have to be nervous. Everyone has come to express their condolences. It's unreasonable for me not to come.

Come on, take me to burn incense for the old lady. "

After speaking, he entered Ding's house without speaking to Yan Qingqing.

Yan Qingqing was a little confused. She probably hadn't provoked Magistrate Ling recently, so why did she feel like he had a problem with her.

But Yan Qingqing is not entangled, and he will ignore her if he doesn't.

Magistrate Ling's face suddenly darkened when he saw Yan Qingqing leaving.

She still didn't pay attention to him. She would never ask him to do anything in the future.

Or maybe she now dislikes that his position is too low and he can't do anything big for her. After all, he is only a seventh-grade county magistrate now.

Thinking of this, Magistrate Ling started to think about whether he should go back and give the emperor a note to move his seat up.

It was still early after Yan Qingqing returned home, so he invited Li Kaishan over.

Li Kaishan is also very busy now, and he needs to make decisions on various matters in the village.

But when he heard Yan Qingqing's invitation, he put down what he was doing and hurried over.

When he arrived, Yan Qingqing was already waiting for him in the flower hall.

Li Kaishan was not polite, sat down on a chair beside him and asked with a smile: "Qingqing, why did you come to see me?"

Yan Qingqing nodded and said: "Actually, I have wanted to discuss this matter with the village chief uncle for a long time, but the conditions were not very good before, so I never mentioned it."

When Li Kaishan heard that this was still a big deal, he quickly asked: "Tell me, uncle is listening."

Yan Qingqing said: “I want to build a school in the village so that children from our Canghe Village and nearby villages have the opportunity to come to the school to study.

Even if you are not seeking fame, it is good to know a few words. "

Li Kaishan was shocked when he heard this. Opening a school? This was something he had never dared to think about before.

If a school were built in their village, wouldn't all the children in the village be sent to study and become literate?

If everyone in the village was literate, their village would really be invincible.

In this era, scholars are highly respected.

Especially ordinary people, because their only way to change their family is to study for the imperial examination.

But reading doesn’t happen overnight, and it also depends on talent.

Yan Qingqing saw that Li Kaishan was deep in thought and did not rush him.

Li Kaishan soon came to his senses, slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "If our village can really open a school, it will be a major event that will benefit future generations.

To be honest, I never dared to think about it before, but we are not without this condition now.

Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, I would like to thank you first for the children in the village. "

After speaking, Li Kaishan bowed to Yan Qingqing.

He thanked Yan Qingqing from the bottom of his heart.

Without Yan Qingqing, Canghe Village would not have the good life it has today, let alone the opportunity to open a school.

Yan Qingqing quickly stepped forward to help Li Kaishan and said to him: "Uncle Village Chief, you don't have to be like this.

As a member of Canghe Village, this is what I should do.

I paid for the money to build the school, but the rest is up to you, the village chief, to worry about. "

Li Kaishan expressed his gratitude to Yan Qingqing repeatedly and promised that this matter would be done beautifully.

After leaving the gate of Li's house, Li Kaishan trotted home to pick up his newly bought gong.

Building a school is also a major event in the village and must be made known to the whole village.

This matter is a great good thing for the entire Canghe Village, and there is no doubt that everyone supports it unanimously.

Most villagers are not as wealthy as Yan Qingqing, but they are all willing to contribute to the construction of the village's school.

Li Kaishan even went to great lengths to find a place with the best feng shui in the village.

Then I asked someone to choose an auspicious day and started construction.

This time, not only the villagers of Canghe Village made great efforts to build the school, but also people from several nearby villages sent strong laborers to help.

Their purpose is very simple. After the school is built, many children from their village will come to school. It will be cheaper than going to the county college.

In particular, the village chiefs of several villages came in person.

Several village chiefs gathered around Li Kaishan and asked questions.

Village Chief Yang of Dayang Village [Chief, why do you suddenly think of building a school? This is a big deal. 】

The village chief of Wangjia Village also said, "Yes, yes, it will be more convenient for the children to go to school after the school is built in the village." 】

Li Kaishan replied with a smile, "I didn't think of this. Isn't it because there is a man named Mingzhao in our village?"

She paid for all the money to build the school. 】

The village chiefs of several other villages were very envious after hearing this. Why didn't their villages have such capable people? It was really a blessing to the whole village.

Li Kaishan often interacts with these people, so he naturally knows what these old fritters are thinking.

So he said: "Okay, you have all contributed. I will talk to Ming Zhaoren later, and I won't let you work in vain.

You have to let the children in your village get some light. "

When the village chiefs heard this, they all bared their big white teeth and laughed.

With Li Kaishan's words, their hearts were in their stomachs.

In fact, it doesn't cost much money to build a school. Yan Qingqing's purpose is just to allow children from several surrounding villages to go to school.

She doesn't have the ability to do more.

Although Li Kaishan was in charge of building the school this time, the construction aspect was still left to Li Sanniu.

The drawings were naturally produced by Yan Qingqing.

Yan Qingqing did some calculations and found that building ten schools should be enough, because it is impossible for all children to come to school.

There are also dormitories where the master lives and a dining hall.

Li Sanniu took the drawings and expressed his suggestions for changes to Yan Qingqing. Yan Qingqing thought it was good, because it was not too late to change the plan before the house was officially built.

Li Sanniu was overjoyed to receive Yan Qingqing's approval. He looked at Yan Qingqing and said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, your current status in our Canghe Village is extraordinary.

His reputation is well-known not only in our Canghe Village, but also in our Great Yan Dynasty. "

Yan Qingqing looked at him and asked with a smile: "Why don't I know? It's not that exaggerated, right?"

Li Sanniu really wasn't lying.

Li Sanniu immediately told Yan Qingqing the news he heard from the merchants.
