The adoring light in the eyes of the four siblings almost melted Qin Yao.

She deliberately urged with a serious face: "Hurry up and go to bed. You won't be able to go to school tomorrow?"

Dalang Erlang Sanlang immediately agreed and speeded up washing.

Si Niang stared blankly at Qin Yao with her big eyes and giggled, murmuring, "My aunt is the village chief? My aunt is the village chief, my aunt is the village chief~"

Qin Yao pinched her little face and said, "Yes, your mother-in-law is the village chief! So go to bed quickly!"

He picked up the nymphomaniac daughter, threw her on her little bed, turned on the light and closed the door, and urged again: "Go to bed quickly, no one is allowed to talk."

Hearing the silence in the children's room, Qin Yao walked into her bedroom and lay down freely on the soft bed.

The small copper medal hanging on her waist stung her. Qin Yao took it off and placed it on the bedside. She touched the small thing twice with her fingers, covered her with a thin quilt and fell asleep peacefully.

This time, Qin Yao slept soundly. When she woke up, it was already bright.

The bright and swaying firelight from last night was still flashing in front of her eyes. She hurriedly stood up and looked at the bedside. A copper-colored seal was staying there safely.

Qin Yao smiled, took off the Zhang and tied it around her waist, got dressed and washed, took the thin meat pancakes prepared by Mrs. Li, and went to the village while eating.

She said yesterday that the school would be built today, so she would never postpone it until tomorrow.

The villagers she met along the way stopped calling her Manager Qin and called her the village chief.

Qin Yao raised her hand to say hello and responded. Looking at the clear water and blue sky, and the lush green fields, she felt that the thin meat pancake in her hand was incomparably delicious.

Walking through the village well, a large group of children playing around saw her. They wanted to get closer but were a little scared. They fell far behind her. Soon, a long tail followed Qin Yao.

Little Laifu was among them, and the other children were ready to push him out for questioning.

Because Qin Yao was walking around the village, neither going to the stationery factory nor looking like she was going to talk to the clan leader or the old village chief.

She looked at the top of the mountain for a while, and then went to look at the abandoned mud house. The children followed her and ran all over the mountains and fields several times. They were confused and didn't know what she was doing.

There have been a lot more children in the village in the past two years, and there are four or five of Da Mao's peers. This year, good news came from every family, and there were three more crying baby babies in the village.

There are also many young people getting married. Four married out, and three brides came to the house. The wedding banquet can be eaten from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. It can be seen that everyone's life is getting more prosperous day by day.

There are also many people from outside the factory. Workers from Liujia Village account for only two-fifths of the workers in the stationery factory, and the rest come from other nearby villages as recruitment expands.

Qin Yao stood on an abandoned hillside overgrown with weeds, looking at the increasingly popular small village at the foot of the mountain, and suddenly felt that if a school was built in this village, Liujiacun would definitely have a new look.

"This is it!"

Qin Yao stepped on the ground beneath his feet, and the first school in Liujia Village was built on this abandoned hillside.

This location is in the east direction, on the same parallel line as her yard, but separated by a large piece of farmland.

Her yard is in the village, and the hillside is at the entrance of the village, closer to Carpenter Liu's house.

To get to the top of the mountain, you need to cross the bridge under Carpenter Liu's house and go around his house before you can reach it.

You can see the complete Liujiacun village across the bank, and the view is very bright.

The most important thing is that this land is relatively flat, and a large square can be dug out with a little repair. In addition to the main body of the school, the extra flat land can also be set up as a playground for children to play, focusing on the all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical and aesthetics.

But the road here is very narrow now. If we want to make it easier for the children, we need to widen the road. "What do you think about building a school here?" Qin Yao suddenly turned around and asked with a smile at the group of children in the grass behind her.

The children, who thought they were hiding well, realized that they had been exposed a long time ago. They jumped out of the grass one after another, chirping and looking at the slope.

Liu Daniu nodded pretendingly and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

The other children laughed and winked at Xiao Laifu, asking him to talk to Qin Yao.

Xiao Laifu didn't understand why the children in the village were so afraid of Qin Yao. Seeing that they refused to come forward with him, he had to come to Qin Yao alone.

"Madam, you have been walking around the village just now to choose the location of the school for everyone?"

Qin Yao nodded: "Yes."

"Then there will be a school in our village?" A child behind him boldly asked.

Qin Yao thought they were quite funny, but she was afraid of herself and couldn't help being curious, so she continued to keep a cold face and hummed,

"The site is selected, and after obtaining the consent of the whole village, go to Li Zheng to report, and then go to the city to apply for a court subsidy from the government, and then you can start groundbreaking when you come back."

Another child asked: "It's so troublesome, village chief, so can we still go to school this year?"

Qin Yao calculated in her mind and said uncertainly: "If we hurry up, we should be able to catch up in September."

Xiao Laifu asked anxiously: "What if it's slower?"

"Then it will be spring next year." Qin Yao replied.

When all the children heard this, they immediately lowered their heads and sighed. It will take a long time.

But after sighing, he said enthusiastically: "Then we will all dig soil and help build the school!"

Qin Yao laughed cheerfully and said, "Okay, everyone should make some contribution to their hometown. If the time comes, give him a medal if he behaves positively."

"What is a medal?" Little Laifu's eyes lit up.

Qin Yao said: "I will ask the blacksmith of Xiahe Village to punch out a medal with the name and the title of the outstanding villager printed on it. Only the most active and outstanding little helper can get it."

After hearing this description, the children all wowed and couldn't be more excited.

Those who are impatient will immediately run down the mountain to tell their parents.

Not long after, when Qin Yao returned to the village, everyone in the village already knew that she had chosen the location for the school.

In the evening, when Qin Yao summoned the village elders to the ancestral hall to discuss matters, the clan leader spoke first before she could speak:

"Yao Niang, the piece of land you mentioned is good, just do what you want!"

As he said this, he thought of his grandson who was already sharpening a hoe at home, and said with a smile:

"The children in the village are all anxious. Tomorrow you go to the county government office to apply for the imperial subsidy for our village. We will select the manpower for you in the village. We will start construction as soon as you come back!"

The other clan elders all agreed: "Yes, yes, yes, you go into the city quickly."

Qin Yao wanted to fly into the city now, but there were still funding issues to discuss.

She had asked Song Zhang before. The total amount of subsidies from the court and the county was one hundred and twenty taels, but it was not all available immediately after applying.
