After a day and a night of rain, it finally stopped and the water level of the big river in Gujia Village returned to normal. People no longer had to go to the mountains to fetch water. They could also raise chickens and ducks and grow some vegetables in the yard.

Zhao Qiqi took the initiative to find the head of the village to discuss whether a school could be built in Gujia Village. It didn't need to be too big, but it would have an independent courtyard for studying. In this way, Mr. Qu would no longer have to live with the head of the village and his family.

"Dashuaniang, you want to build a school?" The head of the village widened his eyes. Dashuaniang was really getting carried away. She had just lived a serious life for a few days, and yet she was planning such a big thing.

"Li Zheng, look at our village. It has been many years since we have produced a scholar or juren. If I remember correctly, the last one was Dashuan's father. Don't you want Gujia Village to cultivate a scholar to bring honor to the family?"

The head of the village nodded somewhat dejectedly. Yes, if there was a scholar or a juren, it would not only bring good reputation, but would also promote the development of the village.

He understood the reason, but the village didn't have enough money to support a school and hire a teacher. Suddenly, the headman's eyes lit up and he asked anxiously, "Mother Dashuan, are you trying to persuade Master Qu to stay and teach in Gujia Village?"

He has been worried these days. Now that Young Master Su is gone, he is afraid that Master Qu will also leave. After all, everyone knows who Master Qu came for, and teaching Gu Yanyan is just a side job.

But every time he passed by the yard where they taught, he could see that Gu Yanyan was a really bookish child, well-mannered, and loved to think and study, and he worked hard on his homework.

If Master Qu stayed to teach, he dared to say that Gu Yanyan would definitely have a bright future!

Zhao Qiqi shook his head: "I can't control what Master Qu thinks, but I am grateful that he will stay to teach Yan Yan. I built this school to provide a better learning environment for the children in the village so that they can study without being disturbed, and it will also be convenient for Master Qu and Yan Yan to teach other children."

The atmosphere in the village is very good now. Almost all the children can read a few sentences of Three Character Classic. Zhao Qiqi doesn't expect all of them to go to Beijing to take the imperial examinations, but with more knowledge, the way they speak and deal with problems will be different, which can cultivate their sentiments and improve their overall quality.

"Don't worry, I can pay for it, but I don't have that much time to take care of it, so you have to take care of it."

She trusted the character of the village head and knew he would not falsify information to ask for more money.

"Okay, okay, I'll put everything else aside and do this first." The head of the village was so excited. There was no school in any village yet, and there was someone like Master Qu there.

Zhao Qiqi said goodbye to the head of the village and returned home. She still had a lot of money in her hands, so it wouldn't cost much to build a primary school.

It's a sunny day today. She originally wanted to take care of the pepper field yesterday, but it was difficult to do so because of the rain. Today's weather is just right.

"Today we are removing the side buds of peppers, which means removing all the side buds below the fork." Zhao Qiqi gave tools to everyone, some were knives, some were sickles, and they used whatever they had.

Zhao Qiqi now took a few people to the fields to practice. After the people from the second and third rooms learned it, they went to the fields. As for Li Yuzhu's family, Zhao Qiqi directly asked Dashuan, who had learned it, to go there to teach.

In fact, she just asked Dashuan to help her there. Li Yuzhu was indeed capable. She gritted her teeth and did the watering and fertilizing by herself these days. This job was easy, and Li Yuzhu should not refuse.

The fat black boy stayed in the front yard for a long time. Maybe he was bored, or maybe he was scared after being kicked in the stable. He didn't dare to stay there and ran to the pepper field.

It had a fat body, and many peppers fell wherever it passed. They were still small peppers that had not yet grown. Gu Zhaoyun, who was always good-tempered, got angry and took it aside.

Gu Zhaoyun poked its head with his hand: "Little Black Fatty, what are you doing? Didn't I tell you not to follow me?"

"These peppers are grown by everyone with great effort, especially mom. She is exhausted. Everyone works hard every day. It is wrong for you to do this!"

Gu Zhaoyun educated the little black fat boy in a serious manner. The little black fat boy who originally wanted to jump on Gu Zhaoyun was pushed away with his ears drooping: "If you do this again, I won't play with you anymore."

The little black fat boy wanted to show her his kicked butt with grievance. Although nothing could be seen, Gu Zhaoyun didn't look at it either. She went back to her work without looking back.
