Chapter 285 Discussion
The next day, after breakfast, Su Mo went out to find the village head.

Hui Niang was drying clothes in the yard, and when she saw Su Mo coming, she quickly put the clothes in her hand back into the tub and greeted her.

Hui Niang was a little surprised, looked at Su Mo and asked, "Gu family, when did you come back?"

"I came back yesterday." Su Mo replied with a smile, then glanced sideways, "Is uncle free today? I have something to ask him."

"If you're free, I'll take you in." Hui Niang smiled and led her to the living room.

Since the improvement of the saline-alkali land was successful, people in the village went to the fields every day, staring at the rice in their own fields, and there was no time to make trouble.

No one was making trouble, so the village head was naturally at leisure, resting at home, Hui Niang stared at him every day, drank the tonic prescribed by Wang Luocheng twice, and his health improved a lot.

"The head of the family, the Gu family is here."

After entering the living room, Hui Niang didn't go to the back room, she yelled directly at the door, and then said to Su Mo: "You wait here, I'll bring a pot of tea."

"Hey." Su Mo nodded in response, and when the village chief came out, she quickly called out, "Uncle."

The village head was wearing a cane, looking good, and looked at Su Mo with a smile, just like Hui Niang, and asked, "When did you come back?"

Su Mo answered truthfully, and after the village chief sat down, he explained his purpose of coming, "Uncle, the matter with the two children is over, and we will leave for the capital at the end of this month. I am here to discuss something with you."

Su Mo really regarded the village head as an elder, and the village school is basically run by the village head, so the suspension of classes naturally had to be greeted to the village head, so when they left and went to the state government, what was the matter? He didn't hide it from the village chief.

The village head also knew that it was a good thing to go to the capital to study, and it was a great thing that would benefit the children's future.

Furthermore, Chen Qingzhou was still a junior of their Chen family, and he was also looking forward to it in his heart.

On the second day after Su Mo and the others set off, he went to the ancestral hall and offered incense to the ancestors, begging the ancestors to bless the matter to go smoothly.

But when he really heard the news that the matter was completed, he was indeed stunned, his hands trembled unconsciously, and it took him a long time to recover.

He restrained the excitement in his heart, swallowed his saliva, and asked uncertainly: "Really...really?"

Su Mo smiled and nodded, very sure: "Of course it's true."

The village chief couldn't restrain himself anymore, let go of his crutches, folded his hands together, and bowed in the direction of the ancestral hall, his whole body burst into tears with excitement.

"My ancestors, my ancestors, my ancestors, my ancestors, my ancestors, my ancestors..."

The village head muttered, his voice gradually became hoarse, and after a while, he turned to wipe away his tears and smiled at Su Mo.

"I'm old, I can't control my emotions, Gu family, I'm making you laugh."

Su Mo smiled and shook her head, "Uncle, what are you talking about..."

The village head picked up the crutches with a smile. He remembered what Su Mo said just now, calmed down his emotions, and said, "You said you want to discuss something with me. What are you discussing?"

"When we go to the capital, we will not come back until the Chinese New Year at the earliest.

I don't think that those fields at home are empty or empty, so I want to come and tell you, see if you can help to talk about it in the village, I want to rent out all those fields. "

"There is also the village school, Mr. Xie will not continue to teach after this year.

As for Wang Kuixing, next year will be his last year of filial piety, and he may not continue to teach in the year after.

This village school was founded by me alone. Although I want to leave, the village school will continue to operate, so the village head needs to pay more attention to see if he can invite two masters to the village school to teach in a long-term and stable manner.

Of course, the village school will not be able to continue without money. I think that when the land is rented out, the rent will be used for the village school's expenses. If it is not enough, I will keep another amount of money at that time. "

Su Mo didn't say these things, the village chief really didn't think about it so much, he would listen to Su Mo talk about it, and think about it seriously.

As soon as Hui Niang came in with the tea, she felt that the atmosphere in the room was a bit dignified. She unconsciously lightened her steps, put down the tea, and walked out softly.

The village head picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for himself and Su Mo, then took a sip from the cup, and said, "Basically everyone in our village has fields, and now they are all planting rice, and they are all busy. Someone would be willing to rent…”

There are a few households in the Wang family who have no land, but they just bought the land not long ago, so how could they rent the land for heavy use.

Su Mo really didn't know about these things, so she frowned now, "Then what should I do?"

She really didn't want to see Dihuang there, after all, she improved it with soil improvement fluid, and it was all the points she got from hard work!

The village head held a teacup, drank half a cup of tea, and then slowly said, "I have a way..."

Su Mo looked at the village head, "What way?"

"Instead of trying to find someone to rent out the field, it is better to find a farmer to cultivate the field for you.

The wages of farm laborers are low, and there is no need to provide food, just a place to live, and it is easy to find, and there are many people.

When the time comes, you sign a good document with them, go to the Yamen to report to them, and you can still let them plant wheat in the fields in a hurry.

When you go to the capital, I'll help you keep an eye on these people. I'll make an account book about the output and the cost of farm tools. When you come back, just look at the account book. "

The village head thinks so, Gu Su thinks for the sake of the village, even if he is going to the capital now, he doesn't give up the village school without saying anything, instead he is still planning for the village school.

As the village head, he naturally couldn't lag behind.

He was in charge of the accounts of the village school, and the money earned by these lands will also be used for the village school, so he should take care of it together, so that Gu Su will no longer have to worry about the future.

Su Mo didn't know much about this, and when she saw that the village chief was willing to take him over, she agreed, "That's fine, but I haven't greeted the farm laborer yet..."

Su Mo paused, and smiled like a little fox, "Uncle, why don't you find time to go to the county with me?"

The village head was still thinking about the troubles in this matter, but Su Mo agreed directly.

He thought that Su Mo trusted him, so he felt relieved, waved his hand, and immediately agreed.

"It's easy to say, you are sixteen today, and you probably will be going out in a few days.

In this way, you go home, have lunch early, get some money, and tell your family members that we will catch the ox cart in the afternoon to the county and get this matter done earlier. "

"Hey, then I'll go back now. When it's almost time, I'll go directly to the entrance of the village to meet Uncle."

Su Mo likes it so straightforward, she agreed with a smile, drank the tea in one gulp, got up and walked to Gu's yard.

The village head was not idle either, went inside to get his seal, and then told Hui Niang that he was going to the county town in the afternoon, and asked her to make lunch earlier.

As soon as Hui Niang heard that she was going to do some work, she quickly agreed. After drying the clothes, she washed her hands and started steaming rice. After half an hour, she washed and cooked vegetables.

After lunch, it was almost time. The village chief took the seal and walked to the village with a cane to meet Su Mo.
