Chapter 170 Completed
Qibao said: "Auntie, please don't cry yet. Mr. He has recovered from his illness. This is a happy event. As long as Mr. He can teach the children in our village how to read and write, this is the best way to repay him."

Mother He wiped her tears, nodded with a smile, and said, "Of course, don't worry, Miss."

Shopkeeper Hong said: "Girl, your medicine is really powerful. If more patients with cough diseases can be cured, it will be a great meritorious event!" After speaking, he looked at Qibao's expression.

Qibao knew the meaning of his words and said with a smile: "This is also a method I got accidentally. Mr. He was also the first one to try it."

Shopkeeper Hong said: "Girl, have you ever thought about mass production? Maybe there are many people like He Jie who are living in pain?"

Qibao said: "I never thought about it. Besides, I don't have the energy to do this at the moment. Grandpa Hong, you also know that our village is very busy now and we can no longer spare the manpower to do this."

Shopkeeper Hong said, "How about I buy this recipe?"

He Jie's mother and son quickly avoided it. It was inconvenient for them to stay away from this business matter.

Qibao thought for a while and said: "Since it is a good medicine that can help people cure diseases, of course I will not hide it. I don't need Grandpa Hong's money. I will donate this method for free, hoping to help more people get rid of their illnesses." ."

Upon hearing this, shopkeeper Hong clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Girl, you are so brave! This is a great thing for the country and the people. You don't know that poor people often get sick every winter, especially coughs that often happen. If the condition is mild, it will take more than half a month to drink the decoction to get better. If the condition is more severe, it may be like He Jie and cannot be cured."

Qibao said: "Because of this, I hope this method can be known to more medical clinics. I also hope that the price can be acceptable to the people. I don't hope that this loquat ointment will become a tool for some people to seek profits."

Shopkeeper Hong said: "Girl, don't worry, I will report this matter, and no one will think of this loquat ointment. Girl has done such a good thing, and I can't let you suffer. I will make your contribution to the prescription free of charge." Spread the word and let everyone know about your good deeds.”

Qibao shook his head and said: "There is no need to deliberately promote it, this is what my grandfather asked me to do."

Shopkeeper Hong understood. The girl is still young. If other people knew that this method was said by a little girl, it would be hard to believe it. So he said: "Girl, I understand what you mean. This is because your grandfather has a righteous heart." , I couldn’t bear the suffering of the people, so I donated the secret recipe for free, but I must report this matter to let more people be grateful to your family."

Qibao wrote out the recipe for loquat ointment. Shopkeeper Hong took the recipe and carefully put it into his arms.

Although the loquat ointment without adding spiritual spring water may not be as effective as He Jie, it is still much more effective than the bitter concoction used to treat coughs in this era.

After Qibao left, shopkeeper He made a new copy of the prescription given by Qibao, wrote a letter to his master, and asked people to hurry up and deliver the letter to his master personally.

Qibao returned home and told his family about the matter. The old man said: "Qibao, why do you suddenly want to donate the prescription for free?" He thought, this is wrong, there is no money to make, and it is not Qibao's way of doing things.

Qibao said: "I am paving the way for my eldest brother and the others. With my eldest brother's knowledge, it is not a problem to be on the list in the future. Having another title is good for my eldest brother, and it is also good for the Xu family."

After hearing this, the old man sighed in his heart. This girl was dedicated to everyone in the family. He felt a little distressed sometimes. He hoped that this girl could be more selfish and plan more for herself.

Mrs. Zhang hugged Qibao tightly and buried her head on Qibao's shoulder. She was already sobbing. After a while, she heard her say: "Thank you Qibao. I don't know how to thank you."

Qibao patted Mrs. Zhang on the back and said, "Auntie, you don't need to thank me. This is what I should do."

"No, this is not what you should do. You are still a child! This is what we as parents should do!" After saying this, Mrs. Zhang started to cry again.The family looked at this scene, and while they were moved in their hearts, they also secretly vowed that they would not be ashamed of Qibao's sincerity.

……

Time passed very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the school was almost completed due to the efforts of the entire village. The village chief attached great importance to this matter and visited it almost every day, and was also very concerned about some details.

Today the village chief came to Xu's house and sat and chatted with the old man.

"Brother, the school is almost finished. Do you want to celebrate?" the village chief suggested.

"Okay, just buy some firecrackers and set them off. At that time, we will gather all the people in the village who can do carpentry work to make some tables, stools and so on. These are indispensable."

"Well, I know. I will discuss it with everyone tomorrow. They will definitely be willing. Everyone is looking forward to it!" The village chief said with a smile, and he was very excited in his heart. He didn't expect that Xujiacun would have his own village one day. School, this is the first of several nearby villages!

The village chief was so happy that he even stayed for a meal at noon!
The next day, the village chief summoned everyone at the door of the new school and said: "Everyone has worked hard during this period. The school is almost completed. Who of you who can be a carpenter will make some tables and stools. It is currently being built." If necessary, once everything is ready, your children can be sent in to study!"

"Village chief, I can do it! Leave it to me. For the sake of the children in the village, I will ensure good quality."

"I can do it too. There is strength in numbers, so I will help too."

"I can do it too…"

The village chief smiled and nodded, and said: "Everyone is good, the wood is all ready, and the school yard is quite big. Just make it in the school and put it on display."

Qibao came to the new school and walked around a few times. Many children in the village were also running around in the school excitedly. They also knew that they would study here from now on, and they were all very excited.

There are several classrooms and a small courtyard where the master lives. This was all suggested by Qibao, because it is not convenient for He Jie and his son to live in the house for a long time, and there are no extra rooms. It is better for them to live in the school.

Qibao also plans to make some flower beds in the courtyard of the school and plant some flowers to decorate them, otherwise they will look a bit monotonous. There is also a wooden sign at the gate of the school that says Xujiacun School.

The villagers who knew how to do carpentry were all busy in the afternoon. After all, the children's future was the most important thing.

About ten days have passed, and the weather has become a little cooler. Everyone has put on their coats. The desks in all the classrooms have been prepared for this day. These are all rushed out by everyone. In addition to eating, they basically do everything. While working non-stop on making tables and chairs, some people had blisters on their hands, and others had cuts on their hands, but everyone continued to work as fast as they could, and finally the hard work paid off.

"Crackling..."

Uncle Xu lit the firecrackers placed at the door of the school. Everyone in the village, young and old, stood at the door of the school with smiles on their faces. The children also covered their ears and appeared behind their parents.

After the firecrackers were set off, the village chief came out and spoke: "Everyone, today is a great event for our Xujia Village. With the joint efforts of everyone, the construction of our village school has finally been completed!"
