Chapter 203 Gossip
Jiang Zhimiao glanced at her confusedly and shook his head: "No, he had said before that he was going to teach in the village, but he hadn't given a specific time yet."

"Is it already set at fifteen?" She pondered for a moment and said in a deep tone.

"Yes, I heard that the fifth grade village is going to find someone to repair the school." Mother Wen replied, "By the way, I have visited that school. It has ventilation on all sides and doesn't even have a decent table. It's really impressive. There are only four walls in the house."

"Is it so bad?" Jiang Zhimiao replied in surprise. The more he thought about it, the more shocked he became. Scholars, peasants, industrialists, and businessmen, studying is a major event to achieve a class jump, but the conditions are a bit too bad.

"Isn't it?" Mother Wen sighed and continued: "I said it would be repaired, but I don't know what the result will be."

I didn't think it was that good when I was in the capital before, but now that I'm in the far north, I can really feel the difference. The Optical Hall can see the huge difference.

Helplessly reduced to this point, the gap was so great that Wen's mother complained angrily, "Today's His Majesty is also obsessed with lard. He eats, drinks and has fun all day long, and is too lazy to do government affairs. If he hadn't known people well, I don’t know, the people of the world will not be in this situation.”

Why!Mother Wen sighed. She was not nostalgic for the days in the capital, but she was really fighting for the injustices of the people all over the world.

"How can farmers have money to send their family members to study if they pay a lot of taxes? It is passed down from generation to generation. In the end, it is not the common people who suffer."

"You're right." Jiang Zhimiao nodded and agreed.

"Okay, don't be angry. Why do you care about the affairs of the court? We should still care about our own family's one-third of an acre of land and pursue our own affairs. Now we are in Tianshui Village. , the land is divided, let’s go through it step by step." She sighed.

"Besides, there is more than one person who is dissatisfied with His Majesty today. If it is too full, it will overflow. Who knows when someone will rebel, and we can grant amnesty." Jiang Zhimiao approached Mother Wen and said softly.

After all, Mother Wen has never thought about the amnesty. Rebels are everywhere, and she has never touched the foundation of the royal family in these years. It is nothing more than playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong, and she gets blamed every time.

Mother Wen took a deep breath. After seeing no one around, she lowered her voice and said, "Did you get any news? Is someone going to rebel?"

She looked solemn and asked in a deep voice.

Jiang Zhimiao smiled happily, "There is no news. The emperor is far away from the sky. This is a hundred and eighty thousand miles away from the capital. How can I have the magical power to see what's going on in the capital? This is just a joke. It’s just words, just listen and that’s it.”

"Although we are far away in the far north, we still have to dream. Besides, when the house was ransacked, it was well known that the court was unstable. I am just speculating. If there is really an amnesty, it can be regarded as an amnesty. It was an unexpected surprise.”

Mother Wen felt the same when she thought about it, she felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief, "You are right, everything in the world is unpredictable, maybe one day it will happen."

The two chatted for a while, ranging from the happenings in the court to trivial matters at home. As they chatted, Xu Yourong came out of the kitchen.

"Ah, when did you come here? I didn't notice it." After she washed her hands, she took Mother Wen's hand and greeted her.

She was stewing meat in the kitchen just now, and the door was closed tightly. If she hadn't come out for some air, she wouldn't have noticed Mother Wen's arrival.

When Mother Wen saw Xu Yourong, she laughed and started chatting immediately.Seeing that they were chatting happily, Jiang Zhimiao silently withdrew. There was still half a month before the fifteenth day. Speaking of which, it was enough to buy tables and chairs for the school. In the first month, except for the many relatives and friends who moved around a few days ago, the rest of the Most of the time, I stay at home.

There are many trees in the woods behind the sheepfold. Each family can make a set of tables and chairs, which is enough for the school. If not, you can just move sets of tables and chairs from the students' homes. There is always a way.

What she told Mother Wen just now was just her imagination. The current situation was unstable, and it was common for someone to rebel. It was possible that the emperor would be replaced one day.

Jiang Zhimiao came back to his senses and continued to work in the kitchen. The tempting smell came from the iron pot on the stove. When he opened the lid, he saw that the meat was stewed until it was soft and tender. When he inserted the chopsticks, it was effortless. Just inserted it.

Seeing that the stew was almost done, Jiang Zhimiao took the meat out of the pot, put it on the cutting board, and started to cut it carefully.

While cutting, she picked up a piece and threw it into her mouth. As soon as the meat entered her mouth, Jiang Zhimiao sighed and immediately sped up the movements in her hands.

"Hey, Miaomiao, is the meat ready to be stewed?" Xu Yourong asked hurriedly.

Jiang Zhimiao raised her hand to avoid it, smiled and picked up a piece of meat from the chopping board and brought it to her mouth, "Here, taste it, it's stewed and it will melt without biting."

"Well, it's rotten." Xu Yourong chewed it twice and tasted it, "I had been simmering it on low heat before, so I thought it wasn't rotten, but to my surprise, it was rotten."

As she said that, she seemed to have thought of something and said, "By the way, your Aunt Wen said that the school in Fifteenth Village is about to open, and then Minghuai and the others will go to school."

She sighed and said reluctantly: "I see them every day, and when I think of them going to school, I feel a little empty."

Jiang Zhimiao was cutting the meat without forgetting to reply, "What's so empty about this? It's not like I'm going on a long trip. The school is in the village. You can go and see it if you want. Mom, you may be thinking too much."

"Besides, don't you feel a little powerless on weekdays? We can relax more when they go to school." She stopped and said with a smile.

Xu Yourong nodded and responded: "That's true. In a few days, my family will be busy and I won't have time to take care of them. Going to school to study is a good thing. That is, Minghuai and the others have never left my side since they were young. I’m just afraid that they will be bullied.”

She sighed, "I know I'm overly worried, but I just can't help but think about it."

Jiang Zhimiao put the chopped meat into a bowl and replied with a smile: "Okay, mother, the children will have to go out sooner or later when they grow up, and we can't keep them at home all their lives. Besides, School is a place to learn knowledge, and no one can bully them."

"Besides, isn't Wen Zhuqing teaching in the school? With him here, it's impossible for anyone to bully them." She covered the bowl with clean gauze and said jokingly: "Even though he is thin, he is quite strong. As long as he is here, just put your heart in your belly."

Xu Yourong nodded, and the sadness on his face disappeared, "That's true."

"Mom, these things are almost ready. When will the rice be cooked?" Jiang Zhimiao asked.
