Chapter 478: Continue to study in the village
Shen Ying paid more attention to him than anyone else. Before the seven people could speak, he nodded his head, "In this case, he must go to Fucheng. Who in the village can't get this money now? I'll talk to their family later. ! ”
Shen Ying looked at her grandson with joy, and finally her eyes fell on Shen Ergou, "Ergou is quite surprising. You should work hard and make your sister look good!"
Shen Ergou smiled honestly, but his eyes shone with perseverance, "Don't worry, village chief, I will work hard."
Shen Ying nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "How much will it cost for them to go to Fucheng to study?"
Who in the village doesn't want their children to honor their ancestors? To put it bluntly, it's all about money.
We have made a lot of money over the years, but as the family has more children and more money to spend, and we are getting richer, poor relatives who have not been in contact for eight hundred years are all coming to our door. This family needs to borrow money for something, and that family has nothing to do with it. What's the point of breaking the autumn breeze? There are more places for people to interact with each other.
Shen Yi looked at Su Tai and said, "Xiao Tai, you know how to settle accounts. Please give us an estimate!"
Su Tai immediately took out the account book and began to list the items, "Let's not talk about the troubles on the road, but the problem of everyone's accommodation must be solved when we get to Fucheng"
Shen Ying interrupted and asked: "What's the price of a house in Fucheng? Is it cheaper to buy a house and live in it together than to rent a house?"
Su Tai gave Shen Ying a thumbs up, "Uncle, you still have the foresight. This is possible. What I mean is that it will be taken from the village's public account and treated as an property purchased by the village in Fucheng. At that time, as long as the villagers go to Fucheng to study Children can live for free, how about it?”
Shen Ying patted her thigh hard and gave a thumbs up with her other hand, "Okay! This is a good idea! Why didn't I think of that just now!"
All he could think about was how to collect the rent, and it turned out that he was in trouble.
Shen Yi also felt that this method was effective, and immediately said excitedly: "Master Lu often goes to Fucheng, and he has some connections there. I will tell Master Lu and ask him to help me palm the eyes, so that I won't be fooled by others."
Shen Ying looked at Shen Ergou and the others, "You guys come with me to handle this matter. You are scholars and you know what kind of place is more suitable."
Seven people puffed out their chests and responded loudly.
Su Tai smiled and continued: "Now that the housing problem is solved, the rest is much simpler. If it doesn't work, you can buy a village in Fucheng, with a house and fields, and even the problem of food is eliminated. In the past, people in the village only needed Just bring some money for pens, ink, paper and inkstones, as well as money for the journey. ”
The more Shen Ying listened, the brighter her eyes became, "Okay, okay! Let's do it like this! The clan has saved a lot of money over the years, and it's more than enough to buy a village!"
Seeing that Shen Ying was happy, Shen Yi had to remind him again, "In addition, the village students must not relax. Those children who have passed the elementary examination must be more strictly controlled. I will find a suitable teacher as soon as possible."
After everyone discussed it, they left.
The village learns here.
Zhou Ran was so excited after he went back that he took Zhou's mother and Ye Shi and warned him carefully: "After I go to the imperial capital, the family will be left to you. You must study with Yi'er in mind. After two years, you must let him Getting a middling grade is his best way out!”
Mother Zhou and Mrs. Ye nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, we will definitely take good care of him. You must take care of yourself when you are alone, tolerate everything you can, and don't create any rift with others."
After Mother Zhou finished speaking, she glanced at the yard next door and said, "No! I have to send something to Mr. Chu and pack it in advance."
Ye said in a low voice: "Mr. Chu is from the imperial capital. My husband really needs to get closer to Mr. Chu. It is better to have someone to discuss things with."
Mother Zhou went to work immediately. Zhou Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Knowing that it was useless to stop him, he followed Zhou's mother and turned to Mrs. Ye and said, "I will take some money away with you and leave the remaining money to you."
Mrs. Ye immediately shook her head, "No, your business is important. It doesn't matter even if we take away all the family's money. My mother and I work in the workshop and earn more than one hundred Wen per day. Food in the village is not expensive." , enough to support two children, but the problem of living here is more troublesome
You were the gentleman in the village before, and no one said anything when we lived in the village school. If you go to the imperial capital, we can't continue to live here. We have to ask the village chief how to make better arrangements. ”
Zhou Ran nodded thoughtfully. After hesitating for a moment, he turned and walked out, "I'm going to the village chief's house to settle things tonight, otherwise it will be too late."
They will leave for the county town early tomorrow morning.
When Zhou Ran arrived at the village chief's house, he found that many village elders had gathered at the village chief's house. They seemed to be discussing business matters. He stopped in his tracks.
Mrs. He came out of the stove room with tea, happened to see him, and hurriedly greeted him: "Mr. Zhou is here, come in!"
Zhou Ran bowed and walked into the main room.
Everyone talking in the room looked at Zhou Ran.
Zhou Ran greeted everyone solemnly and asked: "Village chief, I came here mainly for the sake of my mother, wife and children. After I left the village, it was difficult for them to continue living in the village to study. I would like to ask if my family Zhou Yi could Continue to study in the village? ”

"Of course!" Shen Ying replied without hesitation: "No matter what, you are the teacher of the children in the village. They can pass the imperial examination, and Mr. Zhou is indispensable. We are not unreasonable. Zhou Yi can naturally continue to stay in the village." Studying is still the same as before, no need to change.”
"Thank you, village chief!" Zhou Ran bowed to Shen Ying and said hurriedly: "I am very grateful to the village chief for allowing the children to continue to study in the village school, but it is really difficult for them to continue to live in the village school. I want to study in the village school. Is it possible to rent them a place in the village?”
Shen Ying originally wanted to let the Ye family continue to live in the village school, but then she thought that it would not be appropriate to wait for the new husband to drag his family to live in it, so he nodded, "That's okay, the situation in the village is also Mr. Zhou's. It’s clear, Mr. Zhou can rent anyone’s yard, you can just make the arrangements.”
Zhou Ran felt relieved and said, "In that case, I won't bother you anymore and I'll leave first."
As soon as Zhou Ran left, an old man mused: "Why did the village chief make an exception and let outsiders stay in the village to study?"
Shen Ying explained: "With Mr. Zhou gone, he will be an official that we can't reach. We can't be at odds with others. Besides, Mr. Zhou has half of the credit for the twenty or so children in the village who passed the exam this time." , what’s the harm in letting Mr. Zhou’s son continue to study in the village?”
When everyone heard this, they all nodded.
After Zhou Ran left the village chief's house, he immediately went to Chen Mu and told him about renting a house.
Now, apart from Shen Yi's family, the one with the most empty houses in Shenjiazhuang is Shen Mu's family.
The reason is naturally because Chen Mu has many children. In order to find a wife for his son, he built all the houses in advance and waited for the children to grow up and get married and live alone.
It will take more than ten years until his youngest son gets married, and the house will easily fall into disrepair if no one lives there.
Chen Mu would definitely be happy if Zhou Ran came to rent.
