Chen Zhide stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet for a while, but everyone was too excited and it took a while for them to quiet down.

He understood everyone's feelings. After all, he was more excited than anyone else just now, but he hid it well!

Chen Zhide smiled and said, "There's even better news. I plan to build a primary school in our village, so the children won't have to get up early every day to go to the next village!"

In the summer, I am afraid that my children will fall into the river, and in the winter, when it is cold, I am worried that my children will get frostbite.

It’s okay for older children, but it’s not okay for children of this grade; they are too young.

If their village could have a primary school, the children wouldn't have to suffer like this.

At that time, the tuition fee for one semester was between 80 cents and 1.5 yuan, which many families could not afford.

Only a few can afford it.

But things are different with Chen Yuan's hundred yuan.

At least the children in the village can go to first grade, learn a few words, and write their own names, so that they don’t get cheated by others without knowing it in the future.

Zhang Guixiang was also watching the excitement at the village entrance, and was a little disdainful when she heard about the plan to build a primary school.

What’s the point of knowing a few more words? Aren’t you still in the village, working hard in the fields?

"Village head, you need money to run a primary school, right? It's hard for everyone to survive, where's the money?"

"If we have the money to run a primary school, then we might as well not charge tuition!"

As soon as Zhang Guixiang finished speaking, someone immediately agreed with her.

"Yes, Village Chief! We won't go there!"

Chen Zhide frowned. Why did he dislike listening to Zhang Guixiang so much?

"Zhang Guixiang, no matter how hard our lives are, we cannot let our children's education suffer!"

"If Chen Yuan hadn't attended literacy classes, would he be able to understand what cooperation is all about today?"

"If I had no education, I would have been cheated long ago!"

After Chen Zhide said this, the few people who were about to agree with Zhang Guixiang fell into deep thought.

Chen Yuan just pulled Sun Weiwei aside and watched the whole process. He had expected this scene to happen.

Sheng Mien, fight against Mien.

Chen Zhide was also very angry. No wonder Chen Yuan had just told him not to mention how much money he had or that it was directly funded by Chen Yuan!

If it weren't for the children in the village, he really wanted to return the money directly to Chen Yuan. It was a hot potato.

Chen Zhide took a deep breath and said coldly, "It's settled!"

"It's all voluntary, and no one is forcing you if you don't want to!"

Everyone dared to continue talking, tacitly accepting the matter.

……

After Chen Yuan and Sun Weiwei left the village entrance, they went back directly with Hu Zi. Yi Yi and Feng Ailian stayed there for a whole day, and no one knew what happened.

As soon as they arrived at Hu Zi's house, they saw two figures, one big and one small, playing happily in the yard.

Yiyi saw Chen Yuan and the others at a glance and immediately ran over with a smile.

"Daddy, Mommy!"

“I will write my name today!”

Chen Yuan reached out his big hands and picked up Yiyi, saying with a smile, "Really? Our Yiyi is so amazing?"

Yiyi laughed like a silver bell, struggled to get off Chen Yuan, and ran to hug Feng Ailian's legs.

"Even my great-grandmother praised me!"

Feng Ailian touched Yiyi's little head lovingly, "Yes! Our Yiyi is the smartest!"

"But didn't your great-grandmother teach you that you shouldn't be too proud?"

Yiyi nodded a little embarrassedly. She had just seen her father and was so excited that her mother came back.

"Yiyi knows!"

Everyone laughed out loud at the little expression on Yiyi's face.

Chen Yuan smiled and said to Feng Ailian, "Grandma Feng, I'm sorry to have troubled you today!"

Feng Ailian shook her head and smiled, "Yiyi is very well behaved and studies very hard. It's not troublesome at all."

Chen Yuan picked up Yiyi again and said gratefully, "As long as you don't cause any trouble."

"Then we won't bother you anymore and will go back first!"

"Yiyi, say goodbye to grandma."

Yiyi stretched out her little hand, shook it, and said sweetly, "Goodbye, Grandma. I'll come see you tomorrow!"

Feng Ailian also waved, her eyes full of reluctance.

"Hey, good boy, go back!"

Only after Chen Yuan and the others had gone far away did Feng Ailian turn around and go into the house.

Looking at Hu Zi, he was furious. "When can you bring a wife back?"

"Before I close my eyes, can you let me hold my great-grandson in my arms?"

Hu Zi scratched his head in embarrassment. This was not something he could achieve just by wanting it!

"Grandma, didn't you teach me before that our family is poor and we should wait until conditions are better before marrying a wife?"

Feng Ailian snorted coldly, "The past is the past, and the present is the present!"

"I'll go find Mrs. Wu tomorrow!"

After a pause, Feng Ailian shook her head again and said to herself: "No, no!"

"Look at what Mrs. Wu introduced to Chen Hai?"

"I have to find one for you myself!"

Hu Zi sighed. At his grandmother's age, walking half a mile would be a problem for her, so why should she go and look for one in person?

Since you are single anyway, if you can't get married, you can just adopt one from the clan.

Just when Hu Zi thought his idea was good, he was hit hard by reality.

The Wang family is an outsider in Chenjia Village, so where does their clan come from?

……

Chen Yuan carried Yiyi home, and along the way he heard Yiyi chirping like a little bird about what she had done that day.

"Grandma said she would check tomorrow to see if I can still write the words I learned today."

Chen Yuan asked patiently, "Can Yiyi write?"

Chen Yiyi nodded seriously. She already knew how to write her own name.

Chen Yuan was happy in his heart, his daughter was excellent!

"Okay! If Yiyi passes the test tomorrow, Daddy will reward Yiyi with a piece of fruit candy, okay?"

Yiyi kissed Chen Yuan without saying a word, and her eyes curved into a crescent shape while she smiled.

"Thank you, Daddy!"

……

On the other side, Wuxiang State-owned Restaurant.

Zhou Lili learned from other waiters when she was about to get off work that Manager Ji's sudden change of mind might be because of Zhang Hao.

Others are not clear about the relationship between Zhang Hao and Ji Fuchun, but Zhou Lili knows.

Zhou Lili remembered that Chen Yuan and the others came here excitedly this morning, but were told that the cooperation was cancelled. Everyone must have been very disappointed.

No wonder Chen Yuan was silent this morning. It turned out that he was too sad.

The more Zhou Lili thought about it, the more she felt sorry for Chen Yuan.

It would be a lie to say that Zhang Hao didn't take revenge on Chen Yuan because of her.

Zhang Hao was in a good mood when he saw Chen Yuan and the others being humiliated in the morning, so he went to play with their group of friends and didn't come back until Zhou Lili got off work.

"Lili, I got you a red hairband today. Do you think it's pretty?"

Zhou Lili had a gloomy face and did not take the red hairband that Zhang Hao handed over.

"Zhang Hao, the cooperation between Chenjia Village and our state-owned restaurant has been cancelled. Was it you who did this?"

Zhang Hao was stunned at first, then asked in surprise: "Who told you that?"
