"Your village?"

Master Zhan was stunned for a moment.

He had never taught in the village.

Chen Changsheng said with a smile, "There are about thirty children in our village, the oldest is eighteen years old, the youngest is four years old, and none of them have ever gone to school.

Now that life is slowly getting better, and everyone has some spare money, Li Zheng and the villagers have come up with the idea of ​​sending the children to school, but they just lack a knowledgeable teacher like you. "

Master Zhan sighed after hearing this, "When I was at Bailu Academy, those students had the opportunity to study but did not cherish it, while ordinary people wanted to study but could not afford it.

No matter, I am alone anyway. Since Mrs. Chen has invited me, I can't offend you, so I will go to your Chenjia Village. "

Chen Changsheng was overjoyed, "Thank you Master Zhan!"

It happened that the waiter opened the door and came in to deliver drinks and food.

She raised her wine glass and saluted Master Zhan, "Then it's settled. I'll go back and inform Li Zheng that I'll make a room for you in the village as a place for you to stay and rest. When everything is sorted out, I'll come and invite Master Zhan." You go over."

The matter of Mr. Teacher has been settled, and the big stone in Chen Changsheng's heart has also fallen to the ground.

When the children heard that the adults had finished talking about business and looked at the delicious food on the table, their stomachs were so hungry that they let out a "gurgling" sound.

"Use your chopsticks. Look, these kids are hungry. If they are starved, then I will be guilty of a heinous crime."

Chen Changsheng said to several children, "Let's eat."

Everyone was already hungry, but now they were faced with a table full of delicious food. They didn't have time to say a word, so they all buried their heads in eating.

Old Master Zhan was still a little reserved at first, but when he saw the children eating so deliciously, he unconsciously opened up his appetite.

The six people ate all the dishes on the table. Even the soup was not wasted and was mixed with rice by the children.

Chen Changsheng hired a waiter to pay the bill, which totaled one tael of silver and two hundred and eighty yuan.

After hearing this, the children couldn't help but were speechless. One meal cost more than one tael of silver. It was so expensive. In the future, I decided not to come to the restaurant to eat, but to eat at home. The food cooked by my mother was also delicious.

After dinner, Master Zhan left first. He had to go back and pack his things for teaching in Chenjiacun.

Chen Changsheng led the Dafu brothers and sisters to the grocery store.

In front of the grocery store is a row of half-person-high wooden countertops. Behind it are cabinets with various items placed inside. There is also a clerk behind the counter.

The clerk saw that although Chen Changsheng was not wearing any jewelry, he was wearing ready-made clothes. He stepped forward and asked enthusiastically, "Madam, what do you need to buy?"

"I want pots and pans, water jars, buckets, bedding and other bedding..."

Chen Changsheng talked a lot, and the clerk couldn't remember it, so he could only call the shopkeeper to receive him personally.

The shopkeeper nodded while remembering it, with an uncontrollable smile on his lips.

Unexpectedly, the lady who came today is also a big customer.

Chen Changsheng and the shopkeeper were discussing the details of the delivery here, while Dafu Erlu and the others were wandering around the shop by themselves.

Everyone chose what they wanted, the price was within fifty cents, and paid from the wallet Chen Changsheng gave them.

Chen Changsheng didn't ask what they bought. Anyway, since she gave the money, she didn't care too much about how they spent it.

Because some of the things she purchased were in stock and some needed some time to prepare, she made an appointment with the store to deliver them to Chenjiacun in three days. By then, the new home was expected to be completed.

The remaining items that were light and urgently needed were put in the backpacks behind them and taken back. They had bullock carts, so they were not afraid of carrying more things.

The days passed quickly and very fulfillingly.

As soon as Chen Changsheng returned to the village, he immediately asked Li Zheng about hiring a literate teacher.

Li Zheng's eyes were shining, and he never expected that there would really be a master willing to come to teach in their sleepy Chenjiacun.

Then I heard that Master Zhan had taught at Bailu Academy before, and I was even more excited and kept saying that I must entertain Master Zhan well, and I must not let such a powerful gentleman be looked down upon.

The two people discussed it and finally decided to ask each student in the village to pay forty cents per month as a repair fee, and then spend five hundred cents from the village's public account to make up for it, and give Master Zhan one or two cents per month. Of course, the village will provide the master with food and lodging.

Li Zheng had just released the news about asking for a master in the village, and people immediately came to sign up.

"Uncle Li Zheng, I heard that a literate teacher is coming to our village soon. I'll sign one up for my baby."

"I'll also sign up. This is the repair fee for this month. I also brought it with me."

"I can't afford 40 cash every month, can I take 30 cash and use some rice and noodles to offset the rest?" Several people whose families were really in difficulty couldn't help but ask.

Li Zheng thought about it for a moment. If the master lived in the village, he would also need rice and noodles for daily meals. The rice and noodles sent by these people would not be wasted, so he agreed.

After finalizing the repair fee, the final issue was Master Zhan’s room and board.

There are no spare empty houses in Chenjiacun, and basically every household in the village has no spare empty rooms.

Where to find a room for the master to rest and a classroom, Li Zheng was stumped.

Seeing Chen Lizheng frowning, Chen Changsheng took the initiative to speak first.

"My three old houses are no longer useful, and they are empty. It is better to use them as a resting place for the master. In addition, there are no suitable classrooms in the village. Although the main hall is dilapidated, as long as the roof is repaired, it can be used as a resting place." You can also barely make a classroom.”

Li Zheng waved his hand and refused, "Dafu Niang, you have already helped the villagers by finding a literate teacher. How can I have the nerve to use your house now? No, absolutely not!"

The only available space in the village is the old yard of Chen Changsheng's house. But if Chen Changsheng was asked to give up his yard, why would he do it for no reason?

Therefore, Li Zheng firmly refused.

Chen Changsheng said with a smile, "The village finally invited Master. If there is no accommodation and classrooms, Master will make fun of our village. Besides, I have four children who also have to study with Master."

How about this, if I provide the house, I will treat it as paying the repair costs for the four children. Now, Uncle Zheng, you can feel at ease. "

For her four children, the monthly maintenance fee is one hundred and twenty cents.

But Li Zheng knew that Chen Changsheng was not doing it for the sake of the repair fees, but was really thinking about the children in the village.

Since she insisted again and again, she couldn't refuse anymore, so Li Zheng said seriously, "That's it. After you move out, I will find someone to renovate it. There is a classroom, and the children will not be afraid of wind and rain when they study. .”
