The next day, after breakfast, Su Mo went out and went to find the village chief.

Hui Niang was drying clothes in the yard, and when she saw Su Mo coming, she hurriedly put the clothes in her hand back into the wooden basin and greeted her.

Hui Niang was a little surprised, looked at Su Mo and asked, "Gu family, when did you come back?" ”

"I came back yesterday." Su Mo replied with a smile, and then looked sideways at the top of his eyes, "Is Uncle empty today?" I have something to do with him. ”

"I'll take you in." Hui Niang smiled and took her to the hall.

Since the saline-alkali land has been successfully improved, the people in the village have been going to the fields every day, staring at the rice in their fields, and how can they have idle thoughts and make trouble.

No one made trouble, the village chief was naturally idle, resting at home, every day Hui Niang stared at him, drank the tonic prescribed by Wang Luocheng twice, and his body was much better.

"The master, the Gu family is here."

After entering the hall, Hui Niang didn't go to the back room, she shouted directly at the door, and then said to Su Mo: "You wait here, I'll bring a pot of tea." ”

"Hey." Su Mo nodded in response, and when the village chief came out, she hurriedly shouted, "Uncle." ”

The village chief was on crutches, his complexion was good, and he looked at Su Mo with a smile, just like Hui Niang, and asked, "When did you come back?" ”

Su Mo replied truthfully, After the village chief sat down, he explained his intention, "Uncle, the matter of the two children is done, and we will leave for the capital at the end of this month. ”

Su Mo really regarded the village chief as an elder, and the village school was basically taken care of by the village chief, so when the class was suspended, it was natural to say hello to the village chief, so when they left and went to the so-called Yuzhou Mansion, they didn't hide it from the village chief.

The village chief also knows that going to the capital to study is a good thing, and it is a good thing for the child's future.

Moreover, Chen Qingzhou is still a junior of their Chen family, and he is also looking forward to it in his heart.

The day after their departure, he also went to the ancestral hall to offer incense to the ancestors and ancestors, and asked the ancestors and the ancestors to bless this matter smoothly.

But when he really heard the news that it had happened, he was indeed stunned, and his hands trembled unconsciously, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

He restrained the excitement in his heart, swallowed his saliva, and asked uncertainly, "Really... Is it really done? ”

Su Mo nodded with a smile, very sure: "Of course it's true." ”

The village chief couldn't restrain himself at this time, let go of his crutches, folded his hands, and bowed in the direction of the ancestral hall, and the whole person was full of excited old tears.

"Fathers and fathers bless... Fathers and fathers bless..."

The village chief muttered in his mouth, his voice gradually became hoarse, and he turned sideways to wipe away his tears and smiled at Su Mo.

"I'm old, I can't control my emotions, Gu family, let you smile."

Su Mo smiled and shook his head, "Uncle, where is this..."

The village chief smiled and picked up the crutches, only then did he remember what Su Mo had just said, sorted out his emotions, and said, "You said you want to discuss things with me, what are you discussing?" ”

"When we go to the capital, we will not come back until the Chinese New Year at the earliest.

I don't want to think about whether the fields at home are empty or empty, so I want to come and tell you if you can help me tell me in the village, I want to rent out all the fields. ”

"There is also the village school, Xie Fuzi will not continue to teach after this year.

On Wang Kuixing's side, next year will be the last year of his filial piety, and he is afraid that he will not continue to teach in the year after.

I founded this village school, and although I want to leave, the village school is going to continue, so I have to worry more about the village chief to see if I can invite two masters to come to the village school and teach for a long time.

Of course, it would not be possible to run the village school without money, so I thought that when the land was rented out, the rent would be used for the expenses of the village school, and if it was not enough, I would keep another amount of money at that time. ”

Su Mo didn't talk about this, the village chief really didn't think about it so much, so he would listen to Su Mo talk about it, and he also thought about it seriously.

As soon as Hui Niang came in with tea, she felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little dignified, she unconsciously slowed her steps, put down the tea, and walked out softly.

The village chief picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for himself and Su Mo, then picked up the cup and took a sip, and said: "The people in our village basically have fields, and they will all plant rice again, and they are all busy, I'm afraid no one will be willing to rent ......."

There are a few families in the Wang family who don't have land, but they just bought the land not long ago, so how can they rent the land to go to the weight.

Su Mo really didn't know about these things, and he also frowned, "Then what should I do?" ”

She really didn't want to see the land barren there, after all, she had improved it with soil improvement liquid, and it was all the points she had earned from her hard work!

The village chief took the teacup and drank half a cup of tea before slowly speaking, "I have a way..."

Su Mo looked at the village chief, "What way?" ”

"Instead of trying to find someone to rent out the field, you should go to a hired farmer to cultivate the field for you.

The wages of the hired peasants are low, and they don't need to be fed, just give them a place to live, and they are easy to find and there are many people.

When the time comes, you sign a good document with them, go to the yamen to report, and let them plant a batch of wheat in the field in a hurry.

When you go to the capital, I will help you keep an eye on these people, and I will make an account book to write down the output and the cost of farm tools, and then you can come back and look at the account book directly. ”

The village chief thought so, Gu Su's thought about the village, even if he was going to the capital now, he didn't say that he would give up the village school, but he still planned for the village school.

He, as the village head, naturally can't be left behind.

He was originally in charge of the accounts of the village school, and the money earned from these lands was also used for the village school, so he simply managed them together, so that Gu Su's family no longer had to worry about the future.

Su Mo didn't know much about this, and when she saw that the village chief was willing to take it, she responded, "That's it, but I haven't said hello to the farmer either......"

Su Mo paused, smiling like a little fox, "Uncle, do you want to take the time to go to the county with me?" ”

The village chief was still thinking about this matter in his heart, but Su Mo directly responded.

He thought that Su Mo trusted him, and he was relieved in his heart, so he waved his hand and immediately agreed.

"Well, I'm sixteen today, and you probably won't be out in a few days.

In this case, you go home, have lunch early, get some money, and tell your family that we will go to the county in the afternoon with the ox cart, and we will finish this matter as soon as possible. ”

"Hey, then I'll go back, and when it's almost time, I'll go directly to the entrance of the village to meet your uncle."

Su Mo liked it so crisply, she responded with a smile, drank the tea in one gulp, got up and walked towards the Gu family's courtyard.

The village chief was not idle, went inside to bring his own seal, and then told Hui Niang about going to the county seat in the afternoon, and asked her to get lunch earlier.

As soon as Hui Niang heard that she was going to do something, she hurriedly responded, dried her clothes, washed her hands, began to steam rice, and then after half an hour, she washed vegetables and stir-fried vegetables.

After lunch, it was almost time, and the village chief went to the village head with a seal and a cane to meet Su Mo.
