Rebirth 60: After the separation, he took his wife to eat delicious food

Chen Zhide was also very troubled by this. Although Zhou Ganmei was taken away, the family power behind Zhou Ganmei was still there!

When Chen Yuan takes charge of work in the future, he will inevitably face obstruction from the Zhou family.

"Old Village Chief, I'm not afraid. I'm doing this for Chenjia Village. I'm doing it with integrity! Even if they doubt me, they have to produce evidence to convince them!"

Xu Guoqiang beat drums and gongs and gathered a group of people.

The yard was full of people both inside and outside.

There are so many programs in Chenjia Village during this period, even more exciting than some villagers’ first half of their lives.

Xu Guoqiang summoned the villagers again with such fanfare that everyone was looking at him.

"What's going on, Accountant Xu? Whose house was robbed again?"

"Our village's granary was robbed!"

"Who's a thief again? Why are you so desperate?"

Liu Yulan stood aside, her face flushed. Everyone in the village was sharp-tongued. Isn't this just a veiled attack?

It is said that there is a thief named Zhou Ganmei in their Zhou family!

Liu Yulan and her family had people stabbing them in the back when they were working in the fields. Now, in front of so many people, where can they put their face?

Liu Yulan took a quick look and found Zhang Guixiang, who was cowering in the crowd, as if she had found an outlet for her emotions.

"Who knows who stole the child again!"

"I recognized the wrong person!"

Liu Yulan's sharp voice made Zhang Guixiang unable to raise her head. Just now, she saw Chen Yuan so proud from afar, and she hated him so much in her heart.

At this moment, Liu Yulan brought the topic back to her, and Zhang Guixiang really wanted to tear Liu Yulan's mouth apart!

This stinky woman, her thief son still owes her food!

How dare you mess with her?

"The thief is crying thief, bah! Who do you think you are?" Zhang Guixiang cursed.

The villagers burst into laughter and pointed at Zhang Guixiang and Liu Yulan.

Just when the two women were about to come forward to fight, Xu Guoqiang struck the gong in time to stop the farce.

"We have a big announcement to make today, everyone please be quiet!"

"Great joy?!"

"What's the good news?"

"How many years has it been since we heard of a happy event in our village?"

"Whose wife gave birth to eight sons?!"

The villagers were laughing and joking, and Xu Guoqiang angrily banged the gong in his hand.

"Everyone, be quiet. The village chief has something to announce. Anyone who can't shut up will go plow the fields. I don't think you're tired enough!"

Chen Yuan walked out and took over Xu Guoqiang's words.

"Everyone, today I'm going to tell you something important that concerns every one of you! Everyone must listen carefully, and if you have any opinions, please raise them promptly!"

Chen Yuan said loudly.

"Every household has babies, right? Some are big, some are small! Playing in the mud in the village every day is not a big deal!"

Chen Yuan looked at the simple faces of the villagers. No matter what each of them was thinking, these villagers were the hardest-working people.

The opportunity to change your destiny may come just in a class.

"Village chief, if we don't let them play in the mud, what are they going to do?"

"That's right, my baby uses urine to make mud every day!"

"Okay, let me ask you, do you want your children to work in the fields like you do? Or do you want them to be workers in the city? Or do you want them to work in the commune?"

Chen Yuan said slowly.

"That must mean they want them to go to the commune. It would be fine if they were like Accountant Xu in the village!"

The villagers smiled.

"Since you all want the children to live a good life, you must capture them and make them study. Our village is going to build a school to teach the children to read and count!"

"Build a school?"

Chen Yuan's bombshell news caused an uproar.

To be precise, many people in Chenjia Village still don’t have enough food to eat, and going to school is a luxury for them!

Now Chenjia Village is going to build a school. Isn’t this a fantasy?

"The village chief built a school, so does that mean the children can go to school?"

"If they go to school, who will do the work in the fields?"

In the village, children over three years old are taken by their parents to work in the fields. Having a helper makes a difference no matter how much work they do. Some girls stay at home to do the laundry, cook, and take care of their younger siblings. They are no less idle than the adults who work in the fields.

Although the village only gives the children half of the work points, it still adds up to a lot.

"Yes, after our village school is built, all children under the age of eighteen, regardless of gender, must go to school and study for six months. If they do not want to continue studying after turning fifteen, they can take a leave of absence."

“The others have to be in school!”

Chen Yuan's decision surprised Xu Guoqiang. In the village, people over thirteen years old are considered adults and the labor force of the family. If they go to school, wouldn't the family lose a labor force?

Will the villagers agree?

Sure enough, the villagers started to make a fuss.

"That won't work!"

"That's right. My child is old enough to get all the work points. He earns quite a lot in a year. If he goes to school, my family will get less food!"

"Yeah, my Ni'er is still in school? She's going to get married in a few years!"

"Village Chief, there's no need for that. Just let the three or four-year-olds learn, but why do you have to let them all go to school?!"

The villagers were all concerned about the situation of their own children.

It is quite appropriate for children aged three or four to go to school. After all, they are very naughty at home, and sending them to school will save trouble and worry.

But it’s not cost-effective if teenagers also go.

Chen Yuan frowned. He could understand that the villagers wanted to maximize their benefits, but often small profits would make people lose the opportunity to change their destiny.

The older the children are, the more they need to receive education. Time has already been wasted. If they don’t study hard while they are young, then when the country opens up, they will have no choice but to do the hardest jobs and will never be able to turn their lives around!

Chen Yuan was anxious, so his decision was inevitably a little sudden.

Chen Zhide looked at Chen Yuan and said, "The school hasn't been built yet, but learning to read and do math are all good things. Don't you want your children to go?"

"And to build schools, every household needs a laborer."

"Hey, old village chief, we don't have any kids at home, so we don't need to go!"

"Even the old village chief, my child doesn't plan to go to school, so we don't need to send anyone!"

Chen Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Those who build the school will receive ten work points per person per day!"

Ten work points were more than what they could earn working in the fields, so the villagers stopped refusing.

"Then I'll go and help build the school!"

"I'm coming too!"

Chen Zhide patted Chen Yuan on the shoulder and silently comforted him, saying that the issue of who should go to school could be discussed later, and that they should build the school first.

"Alright, everyone gather by the granary starting tomorrow. Anyone who wants to build the school should sign up with Accountant Xu!"

Everyone rushed to do the work that earned work points, and Accountant Xu soon became overwhelmed.
