The peasant girl in Space is the group favorite

Chapter 171 Surprised
The villagers started to applaud in a dignified manner.

The village chief pressed his hands and said: "First of all, the first place we want to thank is the Xu family. If it weren't for the Xu family's understanding of justice, it would still be a problem whether the children in the village could have enough to eat, let alone go to school!"

After hearing the village chief's words, the villagers all agreed in their hearts, and looked at the Xu family with gratitude.

"Now, I'll let my brother say a few words to you." The village chief said.

There was another burst of fierce applause below.

The old man walked up to the village chief with a smile and said, "First of all, I want to thank everyone on behalf of everyone in my family!"

The people below suddenly looked at each other, Xu Daniu said: "Uncle, it is for all of us to thank your family, why are you thanking us instead?"

"Yes, uncle"

The old man said: "Everyone, listen to me first. Everyone has always supported unconditionally any decision made by my family. Even if I asked you to sell the fields passed down by your ancestors to my family to dig ponds, you would not hesitate to agree. It is you." Only with your cooperation can we make things go smoothly.”

"Uncle, you can't say that. Everyone has benefited. If it weren't for your family, everyone would still be eating bran-thick vegetables!"

"Yes, our life is better now, and the children will be able to go to school soon. I have never dreamed of this day. It is all because of your family. If your family has any suggestions in the future, I will be the first to Agree."

"Yes...Uncle, we will listen to you from now on..."

...

For a moment, the shouts of big guys kept coming from below.

The old man also sighed in his heart, how much the villagers trusted his family, and he couldn't let everyone trust the wrong person.

So he answered the question again and said: "I know everyone's thoughts. Tomorrow you will send your child to school. We have also found the wife and can take it over in the afternoon. There is one more thing. I plan to send the child to school regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl. You can come to school, I wonder if you are willing?"

When the villagers heard this, they all exploded.

"Can girls also go to school?"

"It seems like there hasn't been such a rule since ancient times?"

"Yeah, even if a girl can't read, she can't take the scientific examination!"

"Yes!"

Listening to everyone's discussion, the old man immediately said: "Everyone, please be quiet for a moment."

Suddenly the sounds below became smaller and smaller until they disappeared.

"I know that everyone can't understand it, but everyone thinks about it, why do girls from wealthy families have to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? If there is no benefit, we will not give up this idea. Although we are just a farmer's family, if we are a girl in the village, If a child can read and read, others will be competing to find her husband's family in the future. Who doesn't want to find a literate daughter-in-law to bring home, and it will give her face when she goes out? As parents, we must give our children more opportunities, who says Is it useless for a girl to be literate? Look at my Qibao, she is literate and knows a lot. She was the one who suggested building a school in the village."

"It turns out that it was Qibao who suggested it. It is true that Qibao looks different from the girls in the village. Is it because he is literate?"

"Well, last time I passed by Xu's house, I saw Qibao teaching other people how to read, and there were some people with noses and eyes."

"It's rare for girls from farm families to be literate these days. If all the girls in Xujia Village can read, it will be a wonderful thing in the future. I guess the matchmakers can level the threshold."

"When you say that, it's true. My girl is so smart. I'll go back and ask her. As long as she is willing, I will send the child over tomorrow."

"Okay, then I will also send it over. Our village will do this first-class job. My girl is usually diligent. If she could read again, she would be better than other village girls!" Qibao listened to everyone's discussion and thought in his heart She was also a little surprised. Although no family in the village had treated girls harshly, boys were still considered more important in ancient times. She did not expect that the villagers accepted this matter so quickly and thought of the benefits.

Qibao may not know that every time the old man goes to the construction site, he always praises his granddaughter to everyone, saying that she has many ideas and is smarter than several of his grandchildren. Gradually, everyone is subconsciously influenced and think that Qibao is smart because of his literacy. s reason.

The old man said happily: "Okay, it's good if everyone has this idea. From now on, let outsiders see that any girl in our Xujia Village can read. Think about it, you parents will be proud of it!"

"Yes, I will send my daughter and son over tomorrow!"

"Haha, I'll give it to you too. Think about it, when people know that every girl in our village is literate, their expressions will be wonderful!"

The village chief was also a little surprised. He had never heard the old man say that the girls in the village should be literate together before, and he just found out about it. But since everyone agreed, he was relieved.

At this moment, Shopkeeper Hong and Shopkeeper Tong came together in a carriage.

Everyone in the village also saw it. The driver was a clerk from their store. There were many unknown villagers, so they all looked over curiously.

However, the Xu family knew him and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

After Shopkeepers Tong and Hong came out of the carriage, they said with a smile: "Congratulations on the completion of Xujiacun School."

The old man smiled and said: "Thank you very much, thank you very much for thanking the two shopkeepers for coming here to congratulate me!"

Shopkeeper Hong smiled and said, "No trouble, look who I brought here!"

At this time, the two people who got off the carriage were He Jie's mother and son.

The old man and the others had never met before, so he was confused for a moment.

Seeing this, Xu Laosan immediately stepped forward and introduced: "Everyone, this is the master our family has invited for our children, and he has the reputation of being a child. If there hadn't been something unexpected in Master He's family, with Master He's knowledge, , I’m afraid I’m also the master of the people’s education now.”

When the villagers heard that this was the children's wife, their eyes suddenly became respectful.

When the old man heard this, he immediately stepped forward and said: "It turns out to be Mr. He. I heard his name a long time ago. I wanted to ask the third child to pick you up at Leshan Medicine Store tomorrow, but unexpectedly you guys came first. I didn't know that Mr. He had recovered from his illness. ?"

He Jie also knew that this was the old man of the Xu family, and immediately bowed and saluted: "Thank you, old man, for your concern. It is thanks to the ointment sent by the Xu family that this junior can recover. The Xu family has been kind to me. Please accept my kindness." Bye." After saying that, he opened his robe and knelt down.

The old man quickly took He Jie's arm and said: "I can't do it, I can't do it. Mr. He is a man of great fame, how can he kneel down and worship me, a rough country man?"

Mother He said: "The old man accepted Jie'er's respect. Without the Xu family, my son and I would still be living in the slums, and Jie'er is still suffering from illness. The Xu family is the great benefactor of our mother and son!" "

He Jie also said: "It was the Xu family that gave me a chance to be reborn. This is a gift of reincarnation. This is what the younger generation should do."

"Yes, brother, you have to accept He Jie's worship, otherwise his heart will be uneasy. You can afford it." Shopkeeper Hong also said.

"This..." The old man was a little embarrassed, but in order not to burden He Jie, he let go.

He Jie immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times respectfully.

The old man waited for him to finish kowtowing, and immediately helped him up, and said with a smile: "Since you have thanked me, you will not see anyone outside in the future. A courtyard has been built for you mother and son in the school, so you can live there in peace. Just say whatever you want, and my family will give you five taels of silver every month from now on."

He Jie immediately said: "No, how can I ask for the training you gave me again? I am willing to be the teacher of the children in Xujiacun."
