A month later, the much-anticipated primary school was finally completed, which meant that the children in the village had books to read again.

Both adults and children in the village are very happy. The adults are happy that their children can not only go to school for free, but may even get money. Is there anything happier than this?

There are different reasons why children are happy. Some really love studying, while others are happy because they can do less work at school. In general, everyone is happy!

"Village chief, when will the beams be put up?" Mrs. Li looked around and couldn't wait to pick up peanuts, red dates and candies. She looked happier than the children in the village.

"Why are you in such a hurry? The auspicious time hasn't arrived yet!" The village chief just rolled his eyes at Mrs. Li and didn't say anything else harsh because he didn't want to get angry on such an important day.

The most important thing is that the important people haven't arrived yet! How can we just start the project?

Lin Xi didn't want to join in the fun or be in the limelight, but Chu Ran insisted on dragging her out to watch the fun. When she saw that all the old and young in the village were gathered here, Lin Xi felt her head buzzing.

"Lin Zhiqing is here. Lin Zhiqing is here. The great hero of our village is here."

Someone in the crowd shouted, and Lin Xi, who only wanted to stand at the back of the crowd, was immediately exposed to everyone's sight. What was even more terrible was that when the villagers saw her coming, they spontaneously made way for her.

"Lin Zhiqing, come here quickly. We're waiting for you." The village chief waved excitedly from a distance, and Lin Xi had no choice but to go over.

"Village chief, what do you want from me?" Lin Xi pretended to be calm, but she was actually nervous. She really didn't want others to treat her like a monkey.

"Isn't the primary school about to be completed? On the day of the beam raising, we will invite people of high moral character to shovel the first handful of soil. I discussed it with others, and they all agreed that you are the most suitable person." The village chief explained with a smile.

"Village chief, why don't you invite someone from the village? I'm not suitable." Lin Xi smiled and declined. She didn't want to be an elderly "old man"!

"Very suitable, very suitable. You are the most suitable for this job." The village chief did not want to talk about the fact that several old people were vying to come for this matter and almost got into a fight, so he decided on this matter without even thinking about it. This also avoided a dispute!

"Okay then!" Since the other party has said this, it would seem a bit pretentious if she doesn't agree.

"Okay, okay, when I call you later you can take the shovel and shovel the soil, just put it in the corner." The village chief pointed to the corner while speaking.

"Okay, I remember that." Lin Xi glanced at the corner.

The village chief then walked up to a man in his 50s or 60s and asked him a few questions in a low voice. After the man nodded, the village chief shouted, "Lin Zhiqing, you can start now."

After hearing this, Lin Xi grabbed the shovel and shoveled a full shovel of soil. Then she walked to the corner of the wall that the village chief mentioned and poured all the soil on the shovel into the corner. After she finished pouring, the beam raising officially began.

I saw several shirtless men carrying the prepared beams and tying them up, then the people on top started pulling, followed by a burst of firecrackers. In less than a minute, the men had put the beams in place, and then peanuts, red dates and candies were flying all over the sky and falling from above.

Adults and children alike rushed forward and stuffed whatever they found into their pockets. Lin Xi was so infected by the happy atmosphere that he couldn't help but bend down and pick up a few peanuts to share in the joy!

After all the things on the ground had been picked up, everyone's pockets were full and everyone's face was filled with a satisfied smile. It seemed that they had picked up a lot of things.
