The beginning of the counterattack! The time-traveling boss is famous in Beijing
Chapter 216 Feeling like old friends at first sight
Lord Pan recalled the scene when he first arrived in Changhe Village, and felt sad and a little funny.
When he first arrived in Changhe Village, the villagers would avoid him when they saw him.
He naturally knew that it was the ordinary people's natural fear and alienation towards officials.
After a long time, when we got to know each other better, the villagers became much more generous.
When we meet on the road, we will greet each other with a smile and even chat with each other. They will also come to our house in groups to ask questions about growing plants.
When they come here, they always bring something grown in their own fields, sometimes a handful of beans and sometimes a handful of vegetables. They are not worth much but they are full of thought.
What impressed him most was that he once chatted with a group of children in the village and asked them what they wanted to do when they grew up?
The children's answers almost brought him to tears.
Some said they wanted to learn to read and write, and to learn arithmetic.
That way, when I grow up, I can go to the city to work as an accountant, earn money, and let my family eat white rice every day.
Some said they wanted to become high-ranking officials. Once they became high-ranking officials, they would eat white rice every day and only eat meat once every half a month.
In the eyes of those children, eating white rice every day and meat once every two weeks is already the peak of life.
That is the cognitive gap caused by knowledge and poverty. In other words, poverty limits imagination.
Lord Pan has witnessed the sufferings of the people and knows clearly how difficult it is for the people at the bottom of society to succeed.
To change a person's thinking or the fate of a place, one often needs to start with the most basic needs.
He once had the idea that after retirement, he would open a school in a secluded place to provide a chance for children from poor families to learn knowledge.
Now, in Changhe Village, he seemed to see the shadow of that dream coming true ahead of time.
Princess Qin Ruo, who came from a peasant family, was a person with great righteousness in her heart despite her humble origins.
He negotiated for an opportunity to repair a canal for the village, gave seedlings to the villagers and led them to grow medicinal herbs, and built a workshop, so that the villagers here had a stable income.
Step by step, it is quietly changing the lives of the villagers here.
Now a clan school has been established. Although it is not possible to give all the children here the opportunity to read and learn to read immediately.
However, when working in the fields, one can hear villagers in Changhe Village reciting a few sentences of the Three Character Classic from the mouths of the newly enlightened children in the Qin clan school: "When a person is born, his nature is good..."
This is a manifestation of being infected by the intellectual atmosphere.
Moreover, he knew that the tuition required to enter the Qin clan school was actually not very high, and if the whole family worked hard, they could also send their children to school.
With Qin Ruo's current financial resources, it is not impossible to waive this rent.
Lord Pan also discussed this topic with Qin Huaisheng. Qin Huaisheng relayed Qin Ruo's words, "Free things are often not cherished." Lord Pan was deeply touched.
Lord Pan admired Qin Ruo's careful consideration and clear understanding.
During the banquet, Qin Ziyan and Qin Zimu walked among the crowd and expressed their gratitude to all the guests who came today on behalf of the Qin family.
The two brothers were neither impatient nor anxious, and were gentle and polite.
His words and actions were appropriate, and he exuded a sense of calmness and humility, which won the praise of the guests present.
This scene made Old Lady Qin's eyes red. "Now seeing that Dalang and Erlang have grown up to be so stable, an old lady like me would be satisfied even if I die..."
"Bah! What's the use of life and death? You shouldn't talk like that on such a good day. Besides, with A Ruo at the helm, the Qin family will only become more prosperous, and you will enjoy decades of peace and happiness!" Old Lady Zhou interrupted Old Lady Qin with a smile and scolding.
"Yes, this family is blessed with Ruo'er..."
Old Lady Qin looked up at Qin Ruo, who was sitting at the table with County Magistrate Jiang's family. She was filled with emotion as she saw the calm Qin Ruo.
The Qin family's wedding banquet was a great success for both the guests and the hosts.
The banquet ended and the guests left. Seeing that it was getting late, County Magistrate Jiang also said goodbye to the Qin family with his family and prepared to return to Taihe County.
At this time, Jiang Tang was hiding behind Qin Ruo, clamoring to stay as a guest at Qin's house.
The year after County Magistrate Jiang took office in Taihe County, Mrs. Jiang came from the capital with her daughter Jiang Tang.
Jiang Tang is fifteen this year, one year younger than Qin Ruo.
What I heard most often was my father's words of praise for Qin Ruo.
Jiang Tang had long been curious about this legendary girl from the Qin family, but he had never been able to meet her.
The Qin family held a banquet today, and she finally saw them.
Jiang Tang has a carefree, cheerful and straightforward personality, and is also a huge fan of looks.
I couldn't take my eyes off Qin Ruo the first time I saw her. She looked exactly like Lecher.
After arriving at the Qin family, Jiang Tang has been following Qin Ruo happily, going wherever she goes.
Mrs. Jiang covered her face with her hands at her daughter's familiarity. She quietly twisted her arm several times to remind her to be more restrained.
This was also the first time that Mrs. Jiang met Qin Ruo. Before that, she had only heard of the name of Qin Ruo from her husband and Master Qian.
Before the Qin family held the wedding banquet, Qin Ruo specifically asked Xun Dong to deliver an invitation to Madam Jiang, inviting her and her daughter to attend the Qin family's wedding banquet.
Mrs. Jiang and her daughter seldom went out after arriving in Taihe County. On weekdays, they only interacted with the families of officials who were also posted there.
Meeting for the first time today, Mrs. Jiang liked this little girl with white teeth, bright eyes and graceful manners from the bottom of her heart.
He had a pleasant chat with Qin Ruo during the meal, and did not hide his admiration for Qin Ruo in his words.
Although Qin Ruo was an easy-going person, Mrs. Jiang still felt it was inappropriate when her daughter insisted on staying at someone else's home when they first met, fearing that she would disturb the other person.
Mrs. Jiang looked embarrassed and quickly stopped her daughter.
"Tang'er, don't make trouble. The Qin family just finished their wedding banquet today and they are busy with affairs. Why are you causing trouble like this?"
Mrs. Jiang tried to pull her away from Qin Ruo with a look of helplessness and doting in her eyes.
Seeing this, Qin Ruo stepped forward with a smile to help Jiang Tang out: "Madam Jiang, it's okay. Xiaotang and I hit it off right away. Xiaotang likes this place, why don't you let her stay here for a few days, and then I'll send someone to send her back."
Jiang Tang smiled brightly, and stuck his head out from behind Qin Ruo and acted coquettishly towards Madam Jiang: "Mother, look, Sister Ruo has agreed, so just let me play for a few days before going back."
"Master Jiang, Madam Jiang, this child is so well-behaved and sensible, how could she cause trouble? Since she comes here so rarely, let her play here for a few days. It's just right for her to keep my Ruo'er company."
Most girls of Qin Ruo's age in Changhe Village have already married early.
Here, Qin Ruo was busy with business matters every day. She didn't even have anyone to talk to on a daily basis and looked very lonely.
It was a rare occasion that a girl of the same age came and could chat with her granddaughter, so Old Lady Qin quickly stepped forward and warmly tried to keep Jiang Tang.
"The princess is not a stranger. Since Tang'er doesn't want to go back, let her stay at the Qin's house for a few days." County Magistrate Jiang waved his hand and fulfilled his daughter's wish.
