Chapter 65
The patriarch had a headache and didn't know whether to refuse or agree.

Xie Mingzhu didn't give up, and continued to persuade: "Seventh brother, the sisters in the clan will all marry in the future, but what does it depend on when choosing a husband's family? It depends on the strength of the father, brother and mother's family, but in fact, it is a little bit, It also depends on the sisters themselves, if they marry into a rich family, they can run the house as soon as they know a few words, and it is easier to say something when talking about marriage."

The patriarch was obviously a little moved, Xie Mingzhu didn't expect to break the patriarch's idea once, but said slowly: "Seventh brother, if you want, you can bring your granddaughters to listen, don't talk about it , Qin Che's knowledge is no problem."

The patriarch was about to decline when he heard the patriarch's wife say: "Mingzhu, let me go and see your water mill? I just want to grind some wheat."

"Okay, I'll take you there now!"

Because Xie Mingzhu lives a little far away from Xie's ancestral hall, the patriarch and his wife brought their three granddaughters to Mingzhu Academy.

In Pearl Academy, the sound of Xie Zhiqin and Xie Zhiqi reading can be heard.

The three granddaughters of the patriarch's family looked at it curiously. Xie Mingzhu stretched out his hand to hold the girls' hands and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to listen."

After handing over the three granddaughters to Qin Che, Xie Mingzhu took the patriarch and his wife to the water mill.

Before the patriarch only knew what Xie Mingzhu and Qin Che were working on, but now seeing everything in the water mill with his own eyes, he was even more surprised and delighted.

It is also the first time for the patriarch's wife to grind noodles with water, which saves a lot of trouble.

The patriarch's wife said: "This really saves trouble. You don't have to add wheat to the mill hole yourself, you don't have to push the mill yourself, and you don't need to stare here when you grind the flour."

Usually, I have to grind the flour by myself, and grind a few buckets of wheat, and I am exhausted.

Now with this kind of water mill that does not require manpower, it is really quite trouble-free.

Xie Mingzhu demonstrated the water mill and water mill, and the patriarch's wife said: "Let the children come to school."

The location of Xie's ancestral hall is relatively flat compared to Xiejia Village, and there is still some distance from the stream. Even if the patriarch wants to build a water mill, he doesn't have the ability, but it will be much more convenient if there is such a water mill in the village. .

"Brother Seven, I'll take you to see the tap water in our house."

The patriarch followed Xie Mingzhu to the house, and saw the water flowing in the bamboo tube at a glance.

"This is stream water. Although you can't eat or drink, you can wash clothes and vegetables."

The tap water in Xie Mingzhu's house was made by Uncle Yu, and there was a small mechanism where the water came out.

Although it is not as convenient as the faucets of later generations, it can still cut off the water flow.

Because the mechanism can't fit tightly, it can still drip drop by drop, and it only needs to be connected to the wooden basin below.

"Mingzhu, how did you do this?" the patriarch asked.

Xie Mingzhu took the patriarch and his wife to the stream to check the simple water system.

"Mingzhu, does this cost money?"

The patriarch's wife thought that it would be very convenient if the family had this.

"We have bamboo in every household, and it only needs a little manpower."

The patriarch thought to himself: Xie Mingzhu must not be able to think of these things. Then, it is definitely Qin Che who can come up with such a brilliant idea.

"Mingzhu, I'll discuss it with the clan elders."

The patriarch's wife pushed the patriarch and said, "What else is there to discuss?"

"Women, don't worry about so much."

The patriarch left, and the patriarch's wife smiled and said, "Mingzhu, I will send my granddaughter here when I go back."

"OK!"

After the patriarch went back, he found the elders again. After seeing the convenience of water wheels, water mills, and water mills, did the elders think it was just a matter of sending their children to study?This is not difficult to do!
I didn't ask for cross-repair, and didn't ask for other things, and I even asked for free water to grind water and so on.

Such a good thing, how rare!

The next day, the patriarch and the little girls from the clan's old family sent them over.

The older girls still stayed at home to help the family members with their work. These days, every family is not considered rich, and no family is willing to waste such a labor force.

Xie Mingzhu knew why, but she was helpless.

Some pedantic views, but slowly corrected.

Qin Che looked at the little girls in the academy and asked Xie Mingzhu, "Mingzhu, these are all children..."

Xie Mingzhu knew that these villagers wanted to take advantage, so she didn't say anything, but said: "The mountain people have their own tricks."

Qin Che and Xie Mingzhu sat on the bench and looked at these little girls. Most of the little girls were sallow and thin, only a few of them seemed to have the height and weight that a normal girl of this age should have.

Xie Mingzhu knew very well, why?
One is poverty, and the other is the deep-rooted "boy preference" for thousands of years.

For many villagers, girls must be married after all, and there is no need to invest too much cost.

You don't even need to eat too much, just hang your life.

"What are you going to do?" Qin Che asked.

Xie Mingzhu said: "I won't tell you yet."

Because there are too many students in the academy, Mrs. Zhao is worried that Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu will not be there, and Xie Mingzhu and his wife will be too busy, so they often come to help.

The current study time of Pearl Academy is one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon, with five days off and two days off.

Xie Mingzhu rings the bell every day to remind the villagers to let the children come to class on time.

If someone's little girl is late because she does work for the family, Xie Mingzhu will refuse her family to use the tools in the water workshop.

At the beginning, the villagers didn't know how convenient the water mill was. Gradually, they found that they could wash clothes by the stream while grinding things.

After the clothes are washed, the grinding things are also done.

It also saves time and manpower, and once it is passed on to ten, ten to hundreds, everyone is willing to send the little girl at home to go to school.

Xie Mingzhu and Qin Che were extremely busy.

Shi Erhui will bring the raw materials for brine from Zhao's natal family in the town every other day and hand them over to Xie Mingzhu.

After Xie Mingzhu was ready, Shi Er sent it to the Yunlai Inn in the county.

Xie Mingzhu had to be Qin Che's teaching assistant during the day and had to stew the meat. Even with the help of Zhao Shi and Liu Guizhi, Xie Mingzhu was still busy every day and had a very fulfilling life.

Especially when she saw those little girls learned to be clean and hygienic, their hair was combed neatly, and there was no dirt under their nails, Xie Mingzhu's mood was bubbling.

Although, this is only a small improvement.

But for Xie Mingzhu, she sees a big future in small progress!

Although these girls don't have much power now, but... one day, they will gather into a sky full of stars and shine on this world.
