Chapter 376 Book Donation
The old man reminded: "Scholar, these boys have been growing up in the village and have never even traveled far away. They are still a blank sheet of paper. If you take them out, you will be responsible for their safety. Can you do that?"

Qian Shusheng said: "Uncle, I know all the problems you mentioned. The best people to teach are those who are just starting out like them. If I spend more time now, I will save a lot of time in the future, and they will also They are all literate, so if they perform well, the position of shopkeeper is still acceptable."

Hearing this, the village chief looked overjoyed and said: "Thank you, scholar, and brother. If the people in the village didn't know anyone else, they would definitely not trouble the old man about the child. They only know you, brother. They have no choice. That’s why I asked for my brother.”

The old man smiled and said: "If you think of me when you have something to do, it is because you treat my old man as one of your own. Since the scholars have already agreed, I won't say anything."

The village chief said happily: "Okay! If everyone knows that I have agreed, I am sure they will come to thank you personally."

Qian Shusheng asked with a smile: "Then why don't you guys come and ask Uncle Xu in person?"

The village chief smiled and said: "Aren't you afraid that there will be too many people coming? If you don't know, you might think you are here to put pressure on me! So you came to my house specially to beg me. I am just a representative..."

Qian Shusheng said: "Okay, uncle village chief, don't worry. When you get back, you can tell the parents of these children and ask them to pack up in advance and leave with me after the New Year."

The village chief nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll go back and talk to everyone."

After finishing speaking, I will leave.

The old man suddenly stopped the village chief and said, "Wait a moment, village chief, don't leave in a hurry. I suddenly thought of something and I want to trouble you."

The village chief stopped when he heard this, turned around and said, "Brother, if you have anything to do, just say it. Why are we so polite? What do you mean it's troublesome or not?"

"The village chief is like this. Aren't the scholars doing business outside all year round? Their families have also been living in our house. The scholar discussed with me yesterday and planned to buy a piece of land in the village and build a wooden house. In the future, they can also build a wooden house in Xujia Village. I now have a little family of my own, village chief, look at this..."

The village chief still doesn’t understand!So he immediately said: "That's a good relationship! There is still land for building a house. Scholar, look there is another land on the east side of the village. If you have time, I will take you to see it. If it is suitable, I will go and get the land deed for you. I On behalf of all the villagers of Xujia Village, I welcome you and your family to move into Xujia Village."

Although Qian Shusheng's family has always lived in Xujiacun, strictly speaking, they are not from Xujiacun. It can only be said that they are living in the old man's house.

"Thank you, village chief. It's not urgent. It won't be too late to buy it after the new year." Qian Shusheng said with his hand.

The village chief nodded and said: "That's fine, scholar, you can come to me at any time, and I will go back and tell everyone the news."

Qian Shusheng said: "Okay, village chief, please walk slowly."

The village chief nodded, said hello to the old man, and hurriedly left the Xu family.

"Scholar, have you really made this decision?" the old man asked.

Scholar Qian knew what the old man was worried about, so he said, "Uncle, I know what you are thinking. I took them out to learn how to do business, and they are not trying to cause trouble. They will be fine."

The old man said: "Okay, then when do you plan to set off after the New Year?"

Qian Shusheng said: "Perhaps the sooner the better, because I plan to finish the things at hand and go to the capital. It just so happens that Wen and Wu are not going to the capital to take the scientific examination, so we can probably meet again then."

The old man patted Scholar Qian on the shoulder and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Scholar."

...

The next day, early in the morning, firecrackers were going off throughout Xujiacun, and the sound was so loud that even the entire Daqing Mountain could hear the echo.Qibao, a person who loves to sleep in, has no intention of going back to sleep anymore. The crackling sound makes it impossible to fall asleep anymore.

As in previous years, the younger generation kowtows to their elders to pay New Year greetings and receive red envelopes.

What I ate in the morning was glutinous rice balls with jam fillings, which Qibao asked for yesterday.

Qibao's words were more effective than the imperial edict. Qibao got to eat fruit-flavored glutinous rice balls as she wished. It wasn't that Qibao liked these glutinous rice balls, but she felt that she should respond to the occasion. There was no one in their family missing during the Chinese New Year this year. I don't know what all the brothers were. If it were bigger, it wouldn't be as complete as it is today.

After breakfast, the children in the village also started to go from house to house to say New Year greetings and say auspicious words. Yaya and Zhi'er also joined in the fun with their friends who usually play together.

The gift is not much, just a few copper coins, and everyone is willing to pay. I am very happy to hear the soft blessings from children so early in the morning. Anyway, the new year's money is given to my children by you, so I It’s not a loss if you give it to your children, it’s just a formality.

"Look at people, I've been busy all year, isn't it just for this day?" Wang sighed.

Everyone else nodded.

"Third son, didn't your father-in-law and mother-in-law agree to celebrate the New Year together? Why haven't we met yet? Go and have a look." The old man said.

Xu Laosan nodded in agreement and ran out of the Xu family gate.

The brothers and sisters of the Xu family were sitting together, and Qibao asked: "Fifth brother, have you told your second uncle and the others? Do you really plan to go to the capital with us after the New Year?"

"Yes, I have already made a plan. My mother has almost let go after being tortured by me during this period. As long as I pester her twice more, she will definitely agree. Besides, everyone has your fifth brother's ability. I know." Xiao Wu said proudly.

"Then how do you read those military books?" Qibao asked.

Xiao Wu said helplessly: "I've read a lot, but it's all in official language, so it's a bit difficult for me to read."

Qibao said: "Based on the fact that you have shown more perseverance during this period, I have two different military books. I guarantee that you will not look strenuous, and they are completely different from the military books you have seen. The contents are There are many war skills and strategies, Fifth Brother, do you want them?"

Xiao Wuyi's eyes lit up when he heard that, he quickly stood up, came to Qibao and said, "Sister, I want it, when can you give it to me?"

Qibao smiled and said, "But you have to agree to one condition."

"Sister, tell me, don't say one, I will agree to ten." Xiao Wu said anxiously.

Qibao said: "Fifth brother, I know that you have a carefree temper and it is not easy to hide things, but these two military books are only allowed to be read by you alone and not allowed to be read by others. Do you know?"

Xiao Wu nodded and said: "I know, sister, I will never let the second person see it. If you respond, I will carry the things you give me close to my body."

Qibao nodded and said, "Come to my room to get it tonight!"

Xiao Wu was overjoyed immediately.
