Rebirth of the Evil Stepmother and the Four Villainous Children

So after this man discussed with Zhou Rongrong and the children, firecrackers were set off in Zhou's house in the middle of the night.

Setting off firecrackers in the middle of the night means someone is home.

As the saying goes, happy events will not come without invitations, but funerals will come of their own accord. This has been the case in every village since ancient times. When the villagers of Dashan Village heard the crackling sound of firecrackers in their sleep, they put on their clothes and came to Zhou's house in twos and threes.

There was no way around it because Jiang Huaizhi was the sickest person in Dashan Village. When the firecrackers were set off, everyone knew that something had happened to the Zhou family.

Jiang Laosan was stunned for a moment when he heard the sound of firecrackers. In his heart, his elder brother was tall and mighty. Even when he saw the severity of Jiang Huai's illness, he did not think that the person would really die, but would slowly get better.

But now, everything is really gone. The eldest brother is gone, and the second brother is still in some prison. He is the only one left in the Jiang family.

A feeling of loneliness swept over me. I felt better only when I saw the faces of my wife and two daughters beside me, but my eyes were still red.

Since it was their eldest brother who had passed away, Jiang Laosan and Cheng each held a child and hurried to Zhou's house.

After a while, with the help of the elders of Dashan Village, Xie Wuyou's funeral clothes were put on. Several children wore specific mourning clothes, and used cloth strips to tie knots on the clothes instead of buttons to show that they did not intend to take them off after putting them on, to express their grief.

At noon the next day, the tribe leader stood at the highest point in the yard, selecting the shroud of the deceased.

- while calling the name of the deceased loudly three times toward the north sky, which symbolizes the "ghost world". Then the shroud is covered on the deceased, indicating that the soul has returned to the deceased. This ritual has the meaning of retaining the deceased once again.

Jiang Huaizhi's life was short, which was a sad thing, so the banquet prepared was naturally not as good as the one for Zhou's birthday, with four vegetarian dishes and four meat dishes.

Now that the weather is getting warmer, Zhou Rongrong is afraid that something might really happen to Xie Wuyou, so she quietly moves him out at night and puts the real Jiang Huaizhi's body in with the children, and then puts in the clothes he wore before.

The burial items were all personal belongings of the children. After the coffin was sealed, a good time was chosen on the third day for the burial. Finally, Jiang Huaizhi was laid to rest, and a worry was finally put to rest.

Meanwhile, Xie Wuyou had taken the antidote and slowly woke up, feeling dazed. He couldn't stay there for long, so he went to the grove in the mountains and moved out two horses, one for his own use and the other was the military horse he had promised to Dabao and Erbao.

While everyone was going to the funeral, Xie Wuyou took one more look at Zhou's house, covered his face with black cloth, and rode away on his horse. He was afraid of saying goodbye, so he was reluctant to leave.

When Zhou Rongrong returned home with the children, she saw a letter from Xie Wuyou and a horse in the yard. Its fur was snow-white without a single stray hair, and it was shining, as if it was covered with silver silk. Its two ears were erect, listening to the movements around it at any time, as if it was on guard duty.

The horse looked very majestic and impressive. It seemed that it saw the person coming. It looked at him curiously at first, then stretched its head over and snorted loudly, scaring the children so much that they took a few steps back.

Zhou Rongrong was afraid that she laughed too loudly, so she had to cover her mouth. She usually said nothing would happen if there was a horse, but why was she scared just because it snorted?

Zhou Rongrong walked forward. She was not worried at all about the horse's bad temper. The horse chosen by Xie Wuyou must be a good one.

She stretched out her hand, and the horse's head leaned over and rubbed her hand affectionately. It was very well-behaved and obedient, Zhou Rongrong waved.

"Don't be afraid, come and touch him."

Several children were afraid, but Erbao was the bravest. He had always dreamed of having a black horse, but unfortunately this one was the only white one. However, it was also very beautiful, so he walked forward bravely and wanted to touch the other's head.

But the boy could only touch the tall horse's chest. The horse had rarely seen such a short human. The muscles on its chest trembled, and Erbao was so scared that he immediately withdrew his hand.

Seeing that the horse didn't move and didn't seem to have any intention of hurting him, he plucked up the courage to touch it again, his face full of joy.

"Mom, mom, can I, can I ride for a bit?"

Zhou Rongrong carried Erbao onto the horse. The horse was very good-tempered and very steady, and there was no sense that it would throw anyone off. Sitting on the horse's back, Erbao felt much smaller looking at his mother. His silly smile was really similar to Jiang Huaizhi's.

She happily showed her gapping little milk teeth, "Mom, mom, you come too."

"Okay, mom will come too." Zhou Rongrong stepped one foot on the stirrup, exerted force with the other foot, grabbed the saddle, straddled the horse steadily, and held Erbao in her arms.

He gently kicked the horse's belly with his foot, and the horse started walking in the yard.

The children were so excited that they shouted to Zhou Rongrong to hold them and ride horses. No one was left out, even the new kids Li Hao and Qiaoqiao.

Oh, by the way, Li Hao is not called Li Hao anymore, because he feels that since he has sold himself into a slavery, it is actually nothing, he has just signed a long-term labor contract.

Everyone had the surname Zhou, and he felt that Li was inappropriate, so he changed his surname to Zhou Hao.

Half a month later, Zhou Rongrong started to get busy again. Now that the waterway was opened, it was more convenient and faster to transport bamboo from the surrounding villages and towns. Naturally, Jiang Laosan and his men were assigned to this task. Now Zhou Rongrong had to do something.

It was agreed before that a school would be built. In cases like this, the village would just clear the land. Uncle Zhou pointed with his hand and cleared out three acres of land for Zhou Rongrong, which was larger than the land of her workshop. Since the land was obtained, it was necessary to design and build it. Naturally, this matter was taught to Li Zhenglin.

Ever since he found out that Xie Wuyou had faked his death, this guy has been talking more and more frequently, almost as much as Tang Seng. He keeps whispering in her ear, asking her what kind of person Xie Wuyou is.

Zhou Rongrong felt that if she didn't find him something to do, shut him up, and make him build a house, she would really be driven crazy by his nagging.

As for how the money would come from, when Li Zhenglin gave up his room, opened up the bottom of the bed, and let Zhou Rongrong take whatever she wanted, it was decided that Li Zhenglin would pay.

This guy is so damn rich. Even if ten of them were tied together, they wouldn't be worth as much as his white jade Guanyin statue. He does come from a scholarly family, but he's not a rich man.

Since it was built by Li Zhenglin, the profits after the completion of the college will naturally belong to Li Zhenglin.

As for the requirements, Zhou Rongrong naturally mentioned them as well. First of all, not to mention the classrooms, they actually wanted a super large library and a cafeteria. The layout of the cafeteria was all based on the large cafeteria in the previous life.

There is a row of dining areas, tables and chairs, which are spacious and bright. There are also dormitories. For one thing, this technical school is not only for teenagers, but mostly for adults who want to learn a skill. If they are from the same village, they can still go home, but if their homes are a little far away, that is not possible.

It's a three-story building with six rooms on the first floor. Four people live in each room. There are two buildings in total, which means a lot of people can live here. Even Liu Dazhuang and his friends can live here temporarily.

The two discussed together. In addition to carpentry work, Li Zhenglin suddenly found that he was quite good at design. He went to the study to read books. Recently, his favorite place to stay was Zhou Rongrong's study. There were many kinds of books on all sides, almost twice as many as their collection.

He began to study the layout and design of the building, and based on the requirements submitted by Zhou Rongrong, he started to draw the blueprint. He planned the three acres of land very beautifully and used the layout very reasonably.

Construction began soon. Zhou Rongrong went to check on it several times. Both Master Sun and Master Sun were there. The old veterans were able to do the work of three people at once, so Zhou Rongrong had nothing to worry about.
