Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming
Chapter 103: Worth the Hard Work
"This is a good idea of yours. You've left such a large piece of land for growing flowers and vegetables." Several people liked it when they saw it.
Qing Ning painted the courtyard based on a modern neo-Chinese style. She particularly disliked the claustrophobic and oppressive feeling.
"Brothers and sisters, do you think there is anything wrong?" Qing Ning knew nothing about this and was afraid of breaking any taboos.
"It looks good to us, and we can see other things too. We'll show it to Changshui and Uncle San later. If they think it's okay, there will be no problem." Chen Qingsong said with a smile.
"What are you guys talking about?" Mr. Ma couldn't get a word in, but seeing that they were talking excitedly, he looked over.
"Grandpa Ma, let's discuss what our new house should look like?" Qing Ning said as he handed over the drawn design.
Mr. Ma took the design drawing, looked at it carefully and nodded continuously.
"This is novel, simple and generous, and it can save a lot of money." The carved beams and painted buildings require craftsmanship, so we saved on these and just have simple bricks, tiles and white walls.
"Grandpa Ma, do you think this is feasible? Is there anything taboo?" Several people looked at him eagerly, feeling nervous.
"Not really. Although this is a courtyard with three entrances, it actually has only two. And since you're not trying to show off your wealth, it's fine."
After hearing what Mr. Ma said, several people breathed a sigh of relief. They all liked this style very much.
Suddenly, Mr. Ma said, "Qingning, Grandpa Ma also likes this style. I'm renovating my new house. Can I also follow your style?"
"Of course, Grandpa Ma, you can use it if you like." Qing Ning didn't care about it at all. Nowadays, all houses are similar.
Mr. Ma was so happy that he took the design drawing and went to the side to discuss with them about building the new house according to this style.
After a few discussions and adjustments, the decision was made. They just had to wait for confirmation before ordering the materials together.
As for the village chief and the elders, all the villagers gathered at the village entrance. Seeing the village chief and the elders there, they thought something big had happened again. Obviously, they were half right.
Seeing that most people had arrived, the village chief and the elders didn't mince words. "We have something important to tell you about that will benefit our descendants. Qing Ning's family has decided to build a school for the village. Both boys and girls can attend."
There was a moment of silence after the words were spoken, and then a heated discussion broke out.
"What? What did the village chief say? Building a school for both boys and girls? Did I hear that right?"
"Yeah, is that what the village chief said? Pinch me now."
"Oh my god, it really is true! Oh my god, my baby can go to school too?"
"The village chief said Qing Ning's family built it? Not only did they help us earn money, but they also built a school for the village so all the children can go. Are they living Bodhisattvas?"
"We can't let their family pay for everything. My family will also contribute a little. Although it's not much, it's also our contribution."
"Yes, yes, you mean my family should also contribute a little. We can't let others pay for everything. They have brought us a lot of benefits."
"Yes, yes, you are right."
"Village chief, clan elders, building a school is a huge undertaking, we can't let Qingning and her family pay for it. Although my family doesn't have much ability, we can still contribute some." One person spoke, followed by voices one after another.
The village chief and the elders were very pleased to see that the villagers had a high level of awareness. The chief gestured with his hand for everyone to be quiet.
"We greatly commend you for doing this. This is a major undertaking. We don't expect everyone to become a top scholar, but being able to understand writing and logic is a good thing. Even Mr. Ma and Mr. Yu have contributed to the school, so we are all from Chenjia Village and should work together. Of course, those who have money can contribute, and those who don't have money will not be forced to contribute. Such a heart is rare."
As soon as the clan leader finished speaking, some villagers shouted, "Don't worry, clan leader. We are not ungrateful ungrateful people. We know very well how the Changjiang brothers treat us. We will definitely contribute money if we have money and labor if we don't. When I think about this bad boy from our family being able to go to school, I can't wait to go to work."
"Yeah, yeah~~~~"
They naturally heard the low voice. The village chief cleared his throat and said, "Your kindness will not be in vain for the efforts of the Changjiang family. If so, please come with peace of mind. I will register everyone here one by one."
The villagers were extremely excited. Those without money went back to get some, while those with money rushed forward to register, fearing they would be left behind. Even a few families in the village who were really struggling contributed some money.
What surprised the village chief and the elders the most was Chen Xiang's family, who actually paid two taels of silver. The village chief looked at them suspiciously several times when registering. In the end, Chen Xiang felt embarrassed by being looked at, so he put down the money and left.
After collecting the money and taking the booklet, they went directly to Qingning's house and handed the things to Chen Changjiang, leaving them with full authority to arrange them. They also reminded him that since it was everyone's money, the various uses had to be recorded to prevent unreasonable people from feeling at a disadvantage.
Chen Changjiang and his companions naturally agreed one by one, and they also understood the village chief's kindness.
The people in charge of building the house were naturally busy. The village chief also thought about the school being built, but he couldn't make up his mind about recruiting students and hiring teachers, so he shamelessly asked Mr. Ma, Mr. Yu and others to discuss it together.
"There are at least 30 children in this village, and their ages are of different sizes. How should we arrange them?" The village chief felt embarrassed and had difficulty in making arrangements.
"This is not difficult. We can accept all those aged three to fifteen and put them together for enlightenment. Later we can teach them separately based on their aptitudes and abilities." Yu Wu said after listening.
"I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you." The village chief responded with a smile.
"Brother Gao Jie, the school has been built and the students have been enrolled. Have you thought about the teacher?" asked Old Man Yu.
The village chief rubbed his hands awkwardly and replied, "Mr. Yu, to be honest, I did think of this, but my knowledge is limited and I'm at a loss."
"How about this? I won't say much about my adopted sons, Old Five, but Old Eight is also quite good. Mr. Ma and I are both knowledgeable in literature, so we will take care of the initial enlightenment for now. In the meantime, I will ask my friends in the county to help find a teacher with both moral integrity and talent. What do you think, Brother Gao Jie?"
"That's really great. It's a blessing for the children in our village to have you gentlemen teaching us. I would like to thank you all for your generosity." After saying this, he bowed to everyone.
"Having said this, what about Brother Gao Jie's bundle of cultivation? What should be done with this child with poor aptitude who cannot concentrate on his studies?" Now that we have come to this point, there must naturally be a clear set of rules in all aspects.
