Chapter 530

Zhou Village head's daughter-in-law was hit with stars in her eyes. She was lying on the ground in a mess. Her brain was buzzing and she couldn't slow down.

Village head Zhou was also very angry today, and he didn't pay attention to it.

Looking at her like this, I had a trace of regret in my heart, but I still bit my teeth and scolded her, "I've offended lady Xia. She won't let the villagers follow me any more. The villagers will drown you just by spitting. If I am the village head, the county can still give me some money for a year. If you offend lady Xia and the villagers can't earn any money, go to the county magistrate and take me as the village head, we can't even get a penny. "

Finish saying, hand a back, walk toward the main road, "you think hard here, don't go home if you can't figure it out!"

……

Back in Wei village, the carriage stopped at the village head's door. Six children were fighting and sweating in the yard. Wei Lian was sitting in the shade, mending the children's clothes. Hearing the movement of the carriage, she quickly put down her clothes and said to the children, "stop making trouble and go to the shade to have a rest."

The children also saw the carriage, stopped fighting and went to the shade.

Xia Xi lifted the curtain of the car and said, "sister Wei Lian."

Wei Lian stepped forward quickly, smiling, "are you back? Come on in

Xia Xi went into the hospital, Wei Lian handed her the little stool she had just sat on, poured a glass of boiled water, and brought it over, "it's too hot, you drink water."

Xia Xi thanks, takes the bowl and drinks it all at once.

The village head moved a small ladder, went down to the cellar, carefully picked up a watermelon, happily bailed out the water, washed it, and put it on the small table that Wei Lian moved out,

"This is the watermelon I bought in the market. I don't know when you will come back. I've been putting it in the cellar waiting for you. Uncle will cut it for you to taste."

Wei Lian went to get the knife. The village head cut the watermelon in half and half into pieces. He said to Xia Xi, "eat it."

He took half of it in his hand and prepared to put it back into the cellar later.

The watermelon is ripe and red, which makes people greedy. Several children are looking at it and swallowing, but no one comes forward.

Xia Xi took a knife, cut the watermelon into pieces from the middle and then cut it off, greeting the children, "come and eat it."

No one moved, several children licked their lips to see the village head.

"You eat first. I have more. I'll give them later."

The village head lied, watermelon is not cheap, this one spent more than ten Wen, where willing to let the children eat.

Xia Xi saw through his mind and said with a smile, "uncle, if you don't eat, I won't either."

"You..."

The village head didn't know what to say, so he had to ask the children, "take one piece for each of you, and go outside to play."

Several children happily came forward, a person took a small piece, happily went outside the hospital.

"Uncle, sister Wei Lian, you also sit down and eat."

Two people can only sit down, symbolic picked up a small piece, hello Xia Xi, "you eat ah, for a while not cold, should not be delicious."

Xia Xi took a piece and bit, "Oh, delicious."

The village head moved the rest in front of her, "if it's delicious, eat more."

"Thank you, uncle. One piece is enough for me."

"That's OK. Eat more."

Xia Xi finished eating, put down the melon skin, waved his hand, "just came back from the capital, some uncomfortable, can't eat too much."

The village head immediately asked, "does it matter? Have you seen the doctor? "

"It's not a big deal. Just a few days."

The village head put down his heart, "that's good. I'll keep the rest for you. I'll eat it when you come back another day."

"I'm going to Qingyun County tomorrow. I don't know if I can come back in a few days for business. All the watermelons are cut and will be broken if I put them again. You still call the children back to eat."

Village head some reluctant, but also know that Xia Xi said is right, called the children back.

A few children are still holding watermelon skin in their hands, they have chewed it clean, but they are not willing to throw it. Put the melon skin on the small table, and one person picked up a small piece.

The village head and Wei Lian put down what they were holding and gave it to the children.

"Lady Xia."

Wei Lian's eldest son finished eating, put down the melon skin, put out his tongue and licked his lips. He looked at his mother and grandfather and asked Xia Xi, "Lady Xia, when can my mother go back to work?"

"It's going to be months."

Stone a face of disappointment, eat watermelon happiness also retreated, "but also a few months ah, when can we go to school?"

He always remembers Xia Xi's words, waiting for his mother to earn money to send him and his brother to school, but his mother has not been working, where to get the money.

"Want to go to school?"

The stone nodded.

Xia Xi looked at the other children, "how many of you?"

"We want to," the children said

The smile on the village head's face receded.

In school, one child is worth one or two silver a month, and one or two children is worth two Liang. Even if all the family work in the workshop, they can't get so much money. What's more, they can't earn a cent in the past few months.

The village head was embarrassed and said with a bitter smile, "Lady Xia, don't listen to the children. How many children go to school in the village? It's rare for them to see other children go to school. It's not necessarily like sending them to school. "

Wei Lian nodded in agreement, "yes, these two children in my family, I know very well. They are naughty and mischievous. When it comes to character recognition, it's estimated that they will study for three or two months, and they won't write their own names."

"Who said that?"

The stone retorted, picked up a branch and wrote the word "stone" on the ground, "this is what my uncle taught me. I've only taught it twice, and I'll get it!"

"I will, too!"“ I will, too

Several children picked up branches one after another and wrote their own names.

Wei Qian went to school for a few years, and taught them to write when they were free.

"Well written."

Xia Xi praised.

Several children were inspired and wrote more words.

Wei Lian looked sad and bowed her head.

The head of the village was not happy either. He forced himself to laugh and said, "since your uncle can teach you, you should learn from him first. When the family has money, you can send you to school."

The Stone said, "but my uncle can only teach us to write. The teacher in the school also teaches us to read. We also want to read."

"Stone! Don't be ignorant. "

Wei Lian said that he, stone wronged red eye, tears can not drop, see people distressed.

Xia Xi waved to him, stone came forward, Xia Xi touched his head, "you don't worry, I and your grandfather to discuss, after the wheat harvest, make sure you enter the school."

Stone tears immediately back, "really?"

"Really, I mean what I say."

The stone threw away the branch in his hand and jumped up happily. "Great, we can go to school."

Several children also followed the cheers, and made a mess again.

The village head is embarrassed, "Lady Xia, don't take the child's words to heart, they will forget in a moment."

"Uncle, since I have promised the children, I can't break my promise. When I finish collecting the wheat, I'll build a school in the village. I'll pay for it and find a good teacher."
