The little ancestor of the family

"Good thing!"

The head of the village looked very excited.

Then he picked up Ye Xinran's crutches and said, "Let's go to your house and talk."

Ye Xinran was confused.

What good news makes this old man so excited?

The old man was very patient at this moment, and he didn't reveal any information until he entered the hospital.

It was not until they entered the yard that the headman called a few children to go into Xiao Huaian's room with them.

There was no stool in the room, so the child squatted beside the bed as soon as he entered the room, while Ye Xinran and the village head stood beside them.

The village head cleared his throat and said, "Guess who came to see me today?"

"I can't guess. Please don't keep me in suspense." Ye Xinran answered lazily.

She guessed for a long time on the way, but none of them was right.

"You can't guess, let others guess!"

The head of the village looked at the three children with hope.

"If Aunt doesn't guess, I won't guess either!" Chang'an shook his head.

"Yes, I don't guess either!" Changping also shook his head.

Only Changsheng asked tentatively: "Could it be someone from the academy?"

"Yes!"

The village head reached out and patted Changsheng on the head.

"It has to be Xiao Changsheng. He is indeed a good student."

"Is there any letter from the academy?" Ye Xinran was surprised.

"Mrs. Leng hasn't recovered yet, and Master Wei has already started to arrange this matter?"

The village head looked at Ye Xinran with a smile: "This is all thanks to you! Niece, you deserve to be in the ancestral hall of our Yunbian Village!"

“No, no!” Ye Xinran waved her hands repeatedly, “I don’t really care about this!”

"If you don't like it, what about Huai'an? You outsiders, once you enter the ancestral hall, you will be able to enjoy the incense from Yunbian in the future!"

Xiao Huaian: "Madam is right, we still don't need it."

The head of the village said: "This is a great thing. Others can't even ask for it, but you..."

The village head wanted to persuade her, but Ye Xinran quickly changed the subject: "What did Master Wei say? Let the children in the village enter their academy?"

"You can't enter the academy."

The village head was distracted. "The children in other academies have all read the Four Books and Five Classics and have a solid foundation. The children in our village, except for Changsheng, can't even read a few characters!"

"What does that mean?" Ye Xinran asked.

The village head smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed. "Although we can't enter the academy, Master Wei has arranged for a teacher to come to our village. As long as we have a place to teach, the teacher can come anytime."

"Sir, come to the village!"

When the three children heard the news, they all jumped three feet high.

"Then can I also study with my elder brother?" Chang'an asked with his head tilted.

"Yes, and your second brother too, let's go together, all of us!"

The head of the village waved his hand.

Xiao Huaian listened quietly, and seeing the children happy, he also smiled.

The village head continued, "As for this school, I plan to set it up in the ancestral hall, which is large enough to accommodate more than 30 children.

If this teacher comes, where should he stay? I want to discuss this with you. "

"Uncle Lizheng, my house is so shabby, the teacher can't live in my house, right?"

Ye Xinran pointed at the roof.

"I don't live here with you!"

The head of the village shook his head. "I was thinking of cleaning up the old yard next to the ancestral hall and replacing the tiles on the roof of the ancestral hall. I also need to buy some desks, right? All of this costs money. I just returned all the silver I collected to the county magistrate a few days ago. If I ask him for more money now, I'm afraid he will be unhappy..."

Seeing the embarrassed look of the village head, Ye Xinran blurted out, "Uncle village head, just tell me how much money you're going to spend!"

"You figured it out before I even told you?" The village head acted surprised.

"I calculated and found that I still need 10 taels of silver. Can you lend it to me first? I will pay you back when I collect the silver."

This is his main purpose today.

I hesitated for a long time and was a little embarrassed to speak.

But the only family with some money in the village now is the Xiao family.

"Okay, I'll get it for you right away!"

Ye Xinran agreed without hesitation.

Village head: "Niece, why did you agree so quickly without discussing it with Huai'an?"

When Ye Xinran heard this, she realized that she had actually ignored this problem.

She looked at Xiao Huaian, and before she could speak, she heard Xiao Huaian say, "I will listen to you, Madam."

"All right!"

Li Zheng gave Ye Xinran a knowing smile and secretly gave her a thumbs up.

He was right. Although Xiao Huaian looked tall and strong, he was actually a henpecked husband.

Ye Xinran went to the room to get the silver and asked the children to send the village head home. She then handed the walking stick she had bought to Xiao Huaian.

"Don't you want to walk around? Here's the crutch for you to try."

"it is good!"

Xiao Huaian had been itching to get up, so he took Ye Xinran's crutches and was ready to get down.

But he overestimated his current physical condition.

After my feet touched the ground, it felt like I was stepping on clouds. A feeling of dizziness rushed to my head. Because the force was uneven, my body tilted and I fell to the ground.

"careful!"

Ye Xinran had been staring at this side. Seeing that he almost fell, she immediately stepped forward and used her shoulder to block the man's body.

But she also overestimated her own strength.

Xiao Huaian was tall and strong, and when he used up all his strength, it was really beyond the ability of a little girl like her to resist him.

It was Xiao Huaian who reacted quickly. He put one hand around Ye Xinran's waist and, with the strength from Ye Xinran, tried to reverse the direction of his fall.

As soon as they turned around, the two of them fell onto the bed.

"Aunt, let's send the village chief back home..."

The.

The three children ran back and stopped at the door.

Chang'an was running at the back, and he didn't expect his two brothers to brake suddenly. He bumped into Changping's back with a thud.

Seeing that his two brothers didn't move, he had to squeeze his head to look inside.

"What happened!"

After seeing the situation in the room clearly, Chang An asked, "Aunt, Uncle, you went to bed so early and haven't had dinner yet?"

"What do you want to eat? You only know how to eat!"

Changsheng covered Changan's mouth with his hand.

Pull Chang'an and walk out.

Changping followed behind, muttering quietly: "Why are you lying in bed if you're not sleeping?"

Ye Xinran's face was half red and half white.

On the one hand, I was really scared because I fell down suddenly just now.

On the other hand, how could this ambiguous posture be seen by three children.

It's so embarrassing.

She propped herself up with her arms and tried to stand up.

But Xiao Huaian had an arm on her body and she couldn't move at all.

“The children are watching!”

Ye Xinran pushed Xiao Huaian.

But Xiao Huaian didn't know what was wrong with him, and he just lay there motionless.

"If you don't move, I'll be angry!"

Ye Xinran placed her hands on Xiao Huaian's abdomen and tried to get up again.

Unexpectedly, the man underneath took a breath and groaned, "It hurts!"
