The peasant girl in Space is the group favorite

Chapter 172
"Master He, you're welcome. There's no shortage of money in life. From now on, you and your mother will have money for whatever they want to buy," the old man said.

"Yes, Mr. He, just accept it. The children will have to pay more attention to you in the future." Xu Laosan also advised from the side.

He Jie said: "Thank you very much, old man, but these five taels are a bit too much. Two taels of silver is enough for our mother and son to spend one month's expenses and pen and ink."

The old man said: "My family has paid for the pen, ink, paper and inkstone for the school. Master He, don't bother. If it is five taels of silver, it is five taels of silver. The school in the town also has five taels. I believe that Master He is no worse than other masters."

The village chief said to the children gathered around him: "Quick, come here and say hello to your master."

The children also came forward, both boys and girls, and some timid children kept pulling on their mother's sleeves and did not dare to come forward, which made the adults around them anxious. This would give a good impression to the Master. Immediately pull a family of children to the front and join the other children now.

"Hello, master."

The children said hello in unison and looked at the Master with curiosity.

He Jie was a little surprised when he saw a man and a woman. The old man immediately explained it to He Jie.

He Jie was suddenly enlightened after hearing this, and said with some admiration: "Old man, you are an open-minded person, which is really admired by the younger generation."

The old man was also very proud. Being admired by a famous scholar was not something that anyone could achieve. He said: "It's all for the good of the children. In our village, boys and girls are equally liked by their families. ."

He Jie's first impression of this village was immediately different. He could see on the faces of the villagers that they were sincerely willing to let their girls learn and read. This village was really different. He liked it very much, and he did not He doesn't think girls are necessarily inferior to boys. He once met a lady whose knowledge made him feel inferior.

The old man introduced again: "This is the village chief of our Xujia Village. If you have anything, you can contact him."

He Jie cupped his hands and said, "I've met Village Chief Xu, and I'll ask the Village Chief to take care of him from now on."

The village chief immediately smiled and said: "Mr. He, you are polite, you should, you should."

Many villagers are not aware of Mrs. He's previous affairs. Although they are curious that he seems to be in his 20s but does not have a wife, this is a private matter, so he can only wonder in his heart and cannot ask rashly.

The old man said: "Master He and Mrs. He will come to my house for dinner at noon, along with the two shopkeepers. Let's have a drink at noon."

"Okay, I haven't had a drink with you for a long time, so I'll be disrespectful." Shopkeeper Tong said.

"By the way, we also prepared some gifts, but we almost forgot to take them out." Shopkeeper Tong said.

Then he ordered the boy driving the car to bring out a large pile of fine rice paper and dozens of pen and ink inkstones from the carriage.

Shopkeeper Hong said: "Of course I didn't come empty-handed. I also bought some useful books for children."

The man took out two half-person-high bundles of books from the carriage. They were all introductory books for children who had just entered school.

The old man said: "I also asked the boss and the others to go to Mo Baoxuan in the town to buy these in the afternoon! I didn't expect you to send them over! Then I will accept them, and thank you both for your kindness."

When the village chief saw these things, his eyes lit up and he quickly called a few villagers to move these things into the school.

A few men who moved things carefully moved these pens, inks, paper, inkstones and books, which they considered extremely precious, into the school. In their eyes, these were precious things. They had never touched them, only seen them. The students in the town held the book and shook their heads while reading. They never thought that one day their children would have such an opportunity.

The old man said: "Let's go home and sit down to chat."

The old man took He Jie, his mother and son, two shopkeepers, and the village chief with him.

The remaining villagers also dispersed, exhorting some words to their children as they walked, just asking them to study hard and listen to the master's words.The old man brought people home, and Mrs. Wang asked Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Yin to cook more delicious dishes for noon. Mei Niang also went to the kitchen to help.

The old man also introduced everyone in his family to He Jie and his mother.

Mother He is a few years younger than Mrs. Wang, but she looks much older and thinner than Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang stepped forward and took Mother He's hand, and said enthusiastically: "Sister, you can live in peace from now on. If you need anything, just tell us, but don't see anyone outside."

"Thank you, madam. We, mother and son, already owe you a lot, so why bother to bother you?" Mother He said.

"Don't call me old lady, just call me old sister! Also, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. If you have anything to do in the future, just come to Xu's house and see me! We will all be neighbors in the future, and we should help each other. ." Wang said.

"Hey! Thank you so much, sister." Mother He's eyes felt a little sore after saying this.

"Now that Mr. He's illness has recovered, sister, you don't have to be impatient. You can enjoy your happiness from now on!" Wang said.

"Hey, now that Jie'er's illness is cured, I have nothing else to ask for, but Jie'er is still alone so far. For someone as old as him, the child should be several years old!" Mother He sighed. The tone said.

"With Mr. He's knowledge and appearance, you won't have to worry about it in the future. It's just that the fate has not come yet, so you can relax and don't worry." Wang said.

"Actually, after my family Jie'er passed the exam, many matchmakers came to propose marriage, but Jie'er rejected them all because they concentrated on studying. I also thought that Jie'er was not young at that time, so I didn't try to persuade him. , then something happened in the family, and Jie'er got a cough, who would marry their daughter over and suffer, now that I think about it, it was lucky that they didn't harm those girls," He's mother said.

"Hey! Things in the world are constantly changing. Who can imagine what the future will be like? Now that you, mother and son, have gone through a catastrophe in your lives, the days to come will be safe and smooth." Wang said.

"Well, I hope so!"

After everyone chatted for a while, another uninvited guest came to the Xu family.

The old man didn't expect that Mr. Qian would come to Xujiacun, so he immediately went out to greet him.

"Hello, old man. Please forgive me for disturbing you today." Mr. Qian said with a smile.

"Where are you? You are most welcome. Please come in." The old man said with a smile.

As soon as Mr. Qian entered the main room, he saw several people sitting inside. He was a little stunned. After seeing shopkeeper Tong, he immediately realized that they were probably here to congratulate him.

The old man introduced everyone present again, and after everyone greeted each other, they sat down again.

"I heard from my schoolmaster that the school in Xujiacun has been built, and I came here to congratulate him today. I have prepared some things that the children can use, and they have just been delivered to the school." Master Qian said.

"Thank you very much for letting Mr. Qian spend your money. Let's stay here for lunch today!" the old man said.

"Okay, then I'd rather be respectful than obey."

Master Qian's family is engaged in tea business, which has been passed down from his ancestors, and he has accumulated many customers. In addition, Master Qian is very business-savvy, and the business is well managed by him.

Those who do business in the town naturally know Shopkeeper Tong and Shopkeeper Hong, and they all know each other. Shopkeeper Tong also has business dealings with Mr. Qian, and the tea used in the tea in the restaurant is also bought from him.
