Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Zhao and others welcomed Yang Zi'an's arrival.

Seeing that the other party was not in a very good mood, he didn't ask any more questions and immediately brought a plate of freshly fried meatballs and asked everyone to eat them while they were hot.

There was no time to feel sad or regretful. Soon Yang Zian's belly was full and he had to go out for a walk to digest the food.

When they went out, they found that it was not just their family that had overeaten. It was estimated that all the children in the village had run out.

Li Daniu made some new friends recently, and no one in the village bullied him anymore, so he lived a very happy life. When he met a playmate, he simply abandoned his two cousins ​​and ran away.

Zhou Xiaoxi and his companions were walking on a country road, and the gravel on the ground was a bit uncomfortable for their feet.

The head of the village said that after the ground thaws in the spring of next year, the road will be completely repaired by pouring yellow clay. The ground will not be damaged unless there is a heavy rain.

Zhou Xiaoxi suddenly thought of something and asked:

"Brother Yang, could you help me buy some flower seeds? I want to spread them on both sides of the road. When they bloom in clusters, it will definitely look beautiful."

Yang Zian found it a little funny.

"Xiaoxi, this is a bit difficult for me. I'm just a medicinal herb merchant, and the seeds I can buy are only medicinal herbs."

This reminded Zhou Xiaoxi,

"So are there any medicinal herbs that are easy to grow, require little care, and have beautiful flowers? Planting medicinal herbs kills two birds with one stone, which is better than simply planting flowers."

"Are you too greedy? I'll think about it and tell you when I have the answer."

Zhou Xiaoxi smiled like a little fox.

"Well, thank you for your help. Are you really planning to settle down in our village? In addition to the beautiful scenery, the countryside is not very convenient for doing things, especially your medicinal materials business. What are you going to do?"

Yang Zian resisted the urge to rub Zhou Xiaoxi's head. It would have been fine when he didn't have anything else in mind, but now, he had to abide by etiquette.

I felt in my heart: Little girl, you have to grow up quickly!

I wonder if she will dislike being old when she grows up into a graceful young lady?

So he reached out and touched his chin which was a little prickly, and his thoughts drifted further and further away.

"Brother Yang?"

There was no response, so Zhou Xiaoxi couldn't help but call out.

"Oh, oh, of course it's true. I'm looking forward to seeing the colorful falling petals all over the sky. However, the prerequisite is that your headman agrees to sell the land to me. As for business matters, I don't need to do it myself, the managers are very capable."

Ha! If their headman knew this, he would be so happy that his face would turn into a chrysanthemum!

Zhou Xiaonan clapped his hands happily after hearing this:

"That's great! Brother Yang, can you be a teacher in our village? My sister said that the village will build a village school next year, but there is no teacher yet. You are so knowledgeable and always speak eloquently, you must be full of talent!"

Well, it’s a good idea, but isn’t it a bit of a waste of talent to let Brother Yang be the teacher of the village school?

Zhou Xiaoxi tapped her sister's nose and said with a smile:

"Aren't you a little too fanciful? Brother Yang is a man who can do great things. How can he be trapped in our village as a small teacher?"

Yang Zian shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"I'm just an ordinary person, no different from you. But it's a little difficult to go to class every day. It should be no problem if it's a fixed time every month."

Zhou Xiaonan jumped forward happily and shouted:

"Oh, that's great, that's great! Brother Yang, you are so handsome. All the girls in the village will lie down outside the door to peek at you. Hahaha..."

Zhou Xiaoxi asked back:

"Why outside the door? If you want to watch, you can watch it openly in the classroom. Girls in our village can come to the village to learn to read and write as long as they want!"

Yang Zian was a little surprised. It was not uncommon for a girl to be literate, but the question was whether the people in the village would agree to it?

"It's a good idea, but I wonder if this village school charges tuition? If so, will the villagers be willing to pay tuition for their daughters?"

If Xiangxue Village can really do this, then their headman is really no ordinary person.

Zhou Xiaoxi had not discussed the matter in detail with the head of the village, so he could not think of a good solution for the time being.

"Brother Yang, do you have any good suggestions? This is just a prototype. There are many things to do next year and the villagers will be very busy. I am a little worried that the children will not have time to study for a while."

The adults in the village are busy making money to support their families, so the children in the family have to be treated like adults and do things like washing clothes, cooking, cleaning the house, etc.

This is what it means when children from poor families grow up early.

"There's no need to rush. As the villagers become more affluent, they will be more willing to spend money on raising children. Aren't you planning to open a workshop? If the girls use the money they earn to pay the tuition, no reasonable family would object, right?"

Zhou Xiaoxi thought about it for a moment and came up with a solution.

"For example, girls who work in workshops must be literate! Yes, that's it!"

The little girl's sparkling eyes could still be seen in the moonlight, and Yang Zian's smile became even gentler.

"You seem to care a lot about girls' education, but why? Don't people say that 'a girl's virtue lies in her lack of talent'? When they grow up to be fifteen or sixteen, they will get married and have children. Even if they are talented, they cannot pass the imperial examinations. Isn't it a waste of time and energy?"

When Zhou Xiaonan heard this, she pouted unhappily.

"Brother Yang, why are you like an old scholar in his seventies or eighties? Your ideas are so pedantic. Who says studying is just for passing the imperial examination? We use it everywhere in our daily lives. For example, how can I prescribe medicine for people if I can't read?"

"Xiao Nan, have you forgotten that you are the only female doctor in Shancang County? There are tens of thousands of women in this world, but how many are as lucky as you?"

Yang Zian gave the innocent girl a small blow. This world is thousands of times more sinister and darker than what he said. For example, his mother was trapped in a small house all her life, lived in a daze for more than 30 years, and finally died with regrets.

There are countless women who are more miserable than his mother.

Zhou Xiaoxi said:

"Reading can at least help you understand reason, distinguish right from wrong, broaden your horizons, and know why you are alive. Especially for rural girls, most of them have never left the village before getting married. When you are at home, you obey your father. When you get married, you obey your husband. When your husband dies, you obey your son. You are always someone else's appendage. The only meaning of your existence is to carry on the family line. It's sad and lamentable just to think about it!"

"Most people in the world look down on women. What's funny is that if there were really no women in this world, there would be no human beings in a hundred years, right? Animals all know that they need to obtain the consent of the female to mate, but we women can only follow the arrangements of others..."

Maybe the atmosphere tonight was too suitable, or the night was too charming, or maybe he was in a too relaxed mood, Zhou Xiaoxi couldn't help but say too much.

Zhou Xiaonan, who was originally jumping around, now stood quietly aside, thinking about what her sister said in her mind.

Yang Zian let out a long sigh, feeling gloomy in his heart.

Li Dali, who had been silent all this time, suddenly broke the silence:

"Why think about these depressing things during the New Year? Can't we just do our best? It is the job of the gods to save all living beings, and we ordinary people should just mind our own business."

Tsk, great wisdom appears foolish!

Could it be that Li Dali has been disguising himself all along?

The bubble of admiration was burst as soon as it appeared.

"Well, let's go home? We'll be hungry again if we keep walking around, hehehe..."
