Chapter 345

After hearing the intentions of Chen Zhengde's father and daughter, the village head hurriedly called several elders in the village. Several elders were so excited that they burst into tears and ran the school. This is something they dare not dream of. The reason why the farmer's family is poor is that they have no knowledge and knowledge. Therefore, the grandparents can only face the Loess and back to the sky for generations. If they run the school, let the children read books, Even if you can't win the imperial examination, you can increase your knowledge, which is a great good thing related to future generations!

"Zhengde, you have given birth to a good girl! All the villagers in Shilipu want to thank you!" an elder said gratefully.

Chen Zhengde was embarrassed: "Don't say that, uncle. Since our Chen family settled in Shilipu, thanks to the care of the villagers, I went hunting in the mountains that year and accidentally broke my leg. My family didn't harvest for half a year. If the villagers didn't send rice and noodles, our family would starve to death. We can't forget our kindness! So, I should mention it to me today."

The village head said, "brother Zhengde, you Chens don't buy land first when you have money, but you first want to benefit the village. Such a righteous act is worthy of integrity. On behalf of all the villagers in the village, thank you!

Another elder sighed: "Zhengde! I won't say anything about gratitude, uncle. I'll keep it in my heart. In the future, you Chen family will be the great benefactor of our Shilipu."

The simple and honest Chen Zhengde was made a red face: "this is min'er's idea."

Chen min'er said with a smile, "it was decided by our family through consultation."

Everyone praised it again.

The village head said, "let's build the road slowly. The school needs to be built as soon as possible. I think there is an open space at the east end of the village. The terrain is open and quiet. How do you think of building the school there?"

Everyone agreed that the next step was to discuss specific construction matters. Chen miner didn't know about these. Anyway, she just paid and left first.

The news that the Chen family wanted to invest in the construction of the school quickly spread all over the small mountain village. The villagers took the initiative to sign up with the village head and expressed their willingness to work and contribute.

Within half a day, the address of the school was also set, and so did the carpenter and Mason. After the new year, the work would start on the 15th of the first month.

In the afternoon, er Niu came.

"Chen min'er, what should I do? I heard from my mother that the Wang family will formally propose marriage tomorrow. Do you think of any way?"

"So fast?" Chen min'er was stunned.

"Yes! I'm dying of anxiety." Er Niu's mouth shriveled and tears fell down.

Chen min'er handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears: "don't cry. I've told my mother to persuade your parents. If we can't persuade them, we'll think of another way."

"What else has the way? After all, this has the final say of the parents." two girls are depressed.

Chen min'er thought for a moment and said, "sit here for a while. I'll go to your house with my mother now."

Chen min'er called his mother and went to Li's house together.

Seeing them coming, Aunt Li politely invited them into the house.

"Min'er, you are so kind. Everyone is grateful that you have to run a school for the village." Aunt Li praised.

"Aunt Li is serious. It's my honor to do something for the villagers, thanks to the support of my parents." Chen min'er said modestly.

Aunt Li envied: "min'er's mother, I really envy you. How can I give birth to such a promising pair of children? If my two girls can have half of your min's success, I'll wake up with a smile."

Wu smiled and said, "Er Niu is her mother. Don't underestimate your Er Niu. I heard min'er say that Er Niu is very valued by doctor Xu in the Spring Festival Hall!"

Aunt Li waved her hand: "how can she compare with min'er? I don't know my own child? Just a little weight. What can she do?"

"Aunt Li, I came here today to discuss something with you and ask for your advice." Chen min'er smiled and said.
