Chapter 174 Building a School
Li was just a hot-tempered person, so he persuaded the clan the next day, set aside the land at the west end of the village, used it as the foundation of the school, circled it up, and then rang the big bell in the village, calling the whole village Gather together to discuss building a school.

Lizheng talked about building the school, said a lot of sensational things, and mobilized the enthusiasm of the villagers. In the end, he said that he didn't need to pay for it himself, because he was thinking about the future of his children, so it is always right to contribute.

The people in the village were relieved when they heard that they don't want to pay for it themselves. Now the autumn harvest is almost busy, except for the odd work in the field, there is nothing to do. Every household is willing to contribute a lot of labor, so they all Should be down.

How else can it be said that it is easier to do things with more people? Although Luojia Village is small, there are many people of all kinds. For example, the mason is Luo Erbo, brother of Lizheng, and this is ready-made; Hearing about the construction of a school in Luojia Village, he brought a few apprentices and came over. They agreed that there would be no wages, as long as they took care of three meals a day, but there was one thing. The two boys from the old school also came to get a glimpse of the glory, and then read a few words. It can be counted that he is also related to Luojia Village, and he cannot be regarded as an outsider.

There are also other people in the village. Although they don't have any skills, they are willing to do rough work such as picking ash buckets and helping to stir lime. Now, bring a few strong and experienced people to the mountain to cut down some trees, and it will be done. The Luo family only needs to spend money to buy lime and other materials for building the house, and prepare the food for the carpenters from other villages. It's done.

After thinking about it for a while, Luo Tian added dozens of coins and simply built a brick house.

Although Luo Tiandu mentioned the construction of the school, Lizheng and his wife are in charge. Uncle Luo is a bricklayer with rich experience in building houses. He takes care of all the technical work. How the work is done is all up to him to assign, and Li Zheng is responsible for buying additional bricks, etc. In order to save money for the Luo family, he insisted on running back and forth to the brick kiln many times, and finally negotiated a low price. Then they arranged for the villagers to start dragging stone materials and bricks into the village. Luo Tiandu just followed behind and paid for it. Yes, it's rice noodles, and each family sells some in turn, and it doesn't cost a lot.

Usually the end of September is the slack season, which is the most leisure time, but this year Luojia Village is busier than any other year. I saw carts of green bricks being dragged out of the brick kiln. He carried the shovel to dig the soil and lay the foundation, and when the bricks, limestone, etc. were ready, Luo Erbo led his men to start building the wall.

Li was trying to finish building the school before it snowed in winter, so he worked extraordinarily hard. He started work every day at dawn, didn't have to sleep at noon, continued to work after lunch, and went back after dark, so the progress was extraordinarily fast. quick.

Luo Tiandu had visited the construction site earlier, everyone was busy, she couldn't help standing there, and it was a little in the way, so she completely let Lizheng make arrangements for herself.

When the people in the village were enthusiastically helping to build the school, some people were jealous and said some acid words.

It was none other than Fang's natal family who spoke sour words.

Yao shi did not interfere this time, Luo Baihan is now the only gentleman in this village, and the school is repaired, so Luo Baihan can enjoy some glory.Furthermore, the Yao family also understands that building a school is not their own business, but a major event for the whole village. If she jumps out to object because of jealousy, the Lizheng family, who originally had a problem with her because of the old patriarch, will just Afraid that she would be blamed more and more, so she kept silent wisely.

Only Fang's natal family was quite unconvinced when they learned that Fang had given so much money to build such a school in Luojia Village.Grandpa Fang even told everyone in Lulin Village that the Fang family was not filial, and that she didn't know how to take care of her mother's family when she had money. Instead, she used that false name to subsidize the entire Luojia Village.

When Fang heard this, he was half dead with anger.

Luo Tian didn't care, she didn't treat the Fang family as relatives a long time ago, and now that Grandpa Fang behaved so disgustingly, she only shook her head and laughed twice, and stopped talking.

Building a school for the family is a good deed, and she is not afraid of spreading it wherever it goes. No matter how loud Grandpa Fang is, others will only treat it as gossip after dinner, and no one will take it seriously.

Lizheng and his wife thought they had heard the rumors about the Fang family, and they were a little embarrassed. Mrs. Lizheng even found a time to find Fang, and they were very afraid that Fang would stop studying at the school because of this matter. Well, this school building is a major event for the benefit of future generations of the family, and those shameless Fang family members should not be allowed to mess up.

Fang was very ashamed because of this, and deeply felt that her natal family's behavior was embarrassing, so she had to comfort Mrs. Lizheng repeatedly, that she must build the school, and let her just feel at ease.

The next day, Mrs. Fang and Luo Tian had a discussion, and invited Second Brother Luo to come over, figured out how many bricks and tiles they needed, and after doing a rough calculation, Luo Tian took the money. Tori was buying all the bricks, tiles and lime and piled them on the construction site, so everyone felt at ease.

I bought everything back, so I can't return it.

But obviously she underestimated the shamelessness of the Fang family. On the third day after Lizheng dragged the blue bricks back, Grandpa Fang came to the door with Fang Caimu and Fang Caitu. not coming.

Grandpa Fang led his two sons into the village, and instead of going to Luo's house first, he went to the construction site in the west.

Those are green bricks. The old house that his family lived in for decades is all earthen houses, and he didn't even see half of the blue bricks. Bend your elbows outward, don't you know how to take care of your mother's family?She also set up a school for the Luo family. She doesn't even have a son herself. After running a school, she can only benefit the Luo family. With so many nephews and nieces in the Fang family, why didn't she think of subsidizing some of it?

Grandpa Fang was very angry, and rushed towards Luo's house with his two tall and strong sons.

After Jiang Xia got married, he planned to live in Luojia Village and also planned to build a house in the village. Therefore, Mrs. Fang asked him to take Mrs. Song to live in Luo's family temporarily, and then move back after the house was completed.When Grandpa Fang came in, Mrs. Song happened to come out to wash clothes. When Jiang Xia got married, no one from the Fang family came, and she didn't know Grandpa Fang. Although I was afraid, I mustered up the courage to stand up and asked, "Who are you? Who are you looking for?"

Grandpa Fang didn't even look at her. He knew that a servant Fang bought before was also living in Luo's house, so he became more and more angry. He felt that Fang was really shameless. relative.

Luo Tian was packing things in the house. Because of the school, she and Fang's schedule to go back to Beijing was postponed. These days, the eldest daughter-in-law and younger daughter-in-law in the village brought a lot of local products. Busy packing, ready to tidy up, pick some to take to Beijing.

She heard Mrs. Song screaming in the yard, and hurried out. Seeing Grandpa Fang and Uncle Fang rushing towards the yard, she raised her voice and shouted, "Mother, Grandpa and Uncle Fang Here we come." This is a disguised reminder to Fang, put away the things that should be collected quickly.

Sure enough, Fang put away the valuables in the house, and then went out to welcome her.In the past, Grandpa Fang sent his sons and daughters-in-law over for any business in the Fang family. It was rare for them to come to the door in person. Fang was not sure what was the matter with them this time, so he could only ask: "Father, brother , third brother, why are you here?"

Luo Tian saw that Mrs. Song was still standing outside in panic, and said, "Sister-in-law, it's okay, these are my grandfather and two uncles, you can go and do your work."

Song looked suspiciously, nodded, and went to wash clothes by the river in the village.Luo's family has a well, but Song thinks that the well water is used for eating and drinking. She still used to go to the river outside to wash clothes.

Grandpa Fang didn't even look at Luo Tiandu, sat down in the main room of the Luo family, and began to reprimand Fang: "You, you! I really don't know what to say about you. With so much money, I don't know how to do it right. , If you insist on taking it out to build some kind of school, tens of hundreds of dollars just go to waste like that, I really don’t know how you are in charge of the family, no wonder you have become poorer and poorer in those years, and you almost can’t even eat.”

Luo Tian became irritable when he heard Grandpa Fang talk, what do you mean by not being able to manage the family? Those years of poor life were clearly Yao's ability to live, okay? Could it be that they can't make decisions by themselves, and they have to ask their Fang family to teach them a lesson.

Fang was a little confused, and argued: "Building a school is a good thing. In the future, the children in the village will have a place to read and read. How can this be said to be wasted money?"

Grandpa Fang then became even more angry: "Idiot! There are only two losers in your family. One married and went out. There is only one young one left, and he will be released in two years. You built this school, and there is no half in your family. Going to school alone is not in vain for outsiders. If you have that spare money, you might as well help your natal brothers. Fang Hong is about to get married, Fang Min is about to get married, and Fang Yang is about to marry a wife in a few years. , the family is going to add more people soon, but the whole family is still tightly packed in the old house. After Fang Hong's wife comes in, there is no place to live. Why should he bring his wife and Fang Huai together? Do you live in a house?"

Fang said conveniently: "If you can't live there, you can build a house." There is nothing to ask her about this.

Seeing what she said, Grandpa Fang calmed down a little, and said, "You also know that you need to build a house, but you need money to build a house. Let me ask you, where does the money come from?"
