"Yes, sister Niuniu, we don't have to go to school. There's no point in going to school anyway. My parents can't read, but they still farm. I'll focus on farming in the future instead of wasting money on school!"

"Well, we don't go to school either. Sister Niu Niu's money will be spent by sister Niu Niu and aunt. We can just eat big meat buns in a state-owned restaurant."

The children all started to object.

Mo Yan originally thought that Zi Zi was so young, but he knew how to consider everyone else and wanted to use his own money to build schools for other children. Wasn’t that a bit too soft-hearted?

If she grows up and meets someone who is deep-minded and cunning, with her personality, she will probably be sold out and have to pay the money!

The word "Mother Mary" is no longer a compliment in later generations.

Especially in the last days, almost all those with a saintly heart will not survive more than three days.

Mo Yan hesitated whether to correct her, but then she thought that this was not the end of the world, and she was not someone who could not protect her cub. Why not let the cub grow up innocently and happily?

I thought I'd wait and see. After all, the baby is only three and a half years old. If it really doesn't work, there will still be time to straighten it out when he grows up.

So he simply kept silent and just sat quietly by the side, watching the group of little kids discussing with each other.

"No way! How can my Pei Zaizai's friends be illiterate?"

The little guy waved his hand and looked unwilling to do it.

"Sister Niuniu, what does illiterate mean?"

"Illiterate means you can't do anything. You can't write your own name, and you don't even know mine. You said you wanted to play with me, but my dad doesn't know my name. How about you? Can anyone write the three characters Peizizi? You can't even write Pei."

Yes, the friends don’t care whether one studies or not, but Niu Niu said that they can’t write her name and don’t know her name, which is a bit bad.

Why don't you go home and ask your parents what the three characters in Niuniu's name are? Wouldn't it be better if they knew those three characters?

"Brother Zhuzi, I'll give you 10 yuan and ask you to go to the state-owned restaurant and buy me 20 big meat buns. Each bun costs 7 cents. How much do 20 buns cost? How much change do you need?"

Pei Zaizai asked again.

The pillar froze.

He subconsciously took out his fingers and started counting, but soon he got stuck and couldn't count at all.

"See, how can we not go to school? We don't know how to spend money, so we must go to school. Only by going to school, no one can cheat us in the future. The knowledge we have learned is definitely more useful than just farming. Don't you want to go out and see the world? You all saw the car before, don't you want to drive it in the future? If you can't read, you can't drive a car. Anyway, I must go to school. Are you sure you don't want to go to school? Then I can only play with my classmates in the future, not with you."

"Come on! Come on! Sister Niuniu, if you want to play with us, can't we all go to school?"

"Yeah, we're going to school too, so please don't refuse to play with us, Niuniu!"

"Sister Niuniu, then, you don't have to use your money to build a school. It's a lot of money, how can you bear to spend it? Can't we just go to school in town?"

Zhuzi was still a little hesitant. He followed Old Zhao to the commune almost every other day and was considered the child with the most experience in the village. Therefore, in many cases, he was more mature than other children.

Anyway, he just felt that it was wrong to use the money from Niu Niu's sale of her father to build a school for the village.

"Because I am sick of ox carts. I can't ride in a cart pulled by Ah Huang. I feel like vomiting when I ride. I don't want to go to school in town. It's too far. I only want to go to school in the village. What should I do if there is no school?"

Pei Zaizai looked at the pillar with an expression that showed she had no choice.

Zhuzi was stumped by the question.

I slapped my head and realized, yes, sister Niu Niu is sick of ox carts.

The town is so far away, I can't ask my aunt to carry the baby there every day. How dangerous it would be if it rains and thunders.

But if there was a school in the village, Niu Niu could go to school right at her doorstep, and they could also meet Niu Niu every day and play with her, which would be much better than going to the commune.

"Well, why don't you build one? Make a small one and spend a little money. You can keep the rest of the money for your aunt to buy delicious food and nice clothes."

Zhuzi was convinced.

Pei Zaizai nodded, "Well, of course, I'm not stupid, we just need to build a school that is big enough for all of our friends to sit in, and then we can all go to school together!"

When they heard that little Niu Niu was going to go to school with them, the little kids became happy again, and soon started to fight over who would sit in front, behind, left, or right of little Niu Niu.

The discussion lasted until sunset, and the children from each family had to return home, but there was still no final conclusion on the sequence and position.

However, when the villagers heard from the children that Mo Yan was going to build a school in the village, they couldn't help but feel mixed emotions and gratitude.

The children are naive and don’t know that a school cannot be built just like that. Not to mention the cost of building the school building itself, after the school is built, teachers have to be hired, and all of this involves costs.

Don’t they want to have their own school in Peijia Village? Yes!

Don’t the villagers want their children to go to school? Yes, they do.

But Peijia Village is well-known for being poor in the surrounding area, and their children have no chance of going to school.

Now, according to what the children said, Mo Yan was going to set up a primary school in the village for Niu Niu's education. That night, countless people were so excited that they could not sleep.

And at the Pei family's dinner table.

Mo Yan also asked the little cub why he thought of building a school.

The little cub answered, "Mom, that woman gave out the money because she was afraid of you. She definitely didn't want to do it. The uncles, aunts, grandparents in the village also know that the bad woman gave our family money."

"Although my father is not a good father, if we spend this money with a clear conscience, after a long time, there will always be people who are jealous. As long as there is jealousy in people's hearts, they are not far from doing bad things."

"Anyway, our family has enough money to spend now, and I don't want to spend that woman's money. Why not use the money to build a school? When I grow up, my mother will send me to school. I don't want to be separated from my mother and Xiao Baibai. If there is a ready-made school in the village, I can go home and have lunch with my mother every day. On days when I don't go to school, I can go into the mountains with my mother."

"In the end, with the school, everyone in the village will be grateful to my mother, and when problems arise in the future, everyone will be more united. Isn't that good?"
