Early the next morning, Qiao Ruyue was woken up by a rooster crow!

When I opened my eyes, I found that it was already dawn, and the two little ones had gotten up at some point.

"Fence them up!"

There was also a noise in the courtyard mixed with the sound of chickens crowing.

When Qiao Ruyue went out, she saw that all eight chickens had come out of the chicken pen, and they were all over the place!

These chickens have come out at some point, and the yard has been picked up by them into a small pit.

The improvised chicken pen made last night was too short, and it was easy for these chickens to fly out.

Looks like we're going to have to make a chicken pen again today.

Fortunately, there were many people, and everyone quickly grabbed the eight hens that flew out and tied their feet with ropes first, so that they would not run around again.

As soon as he finished all this, Qiao Fei'an saw something in the pit in the corner of the courtyard wall, and when he stepped forward, it was actually two eggs?

The whole family rejoiced, and the chickens laid their eggs!

The eldest girl went to the kitchen to make breakfast, and the second and third girls washed the clothes that everyone changed last night, and Qiao Ruyue, Qiao Fei'an, and Qiao Xiaoxi became idlers.

The eldest girl makes rice porridge in the morning and stir-fried wild vegetables to make side dishes.

Qiao Ruyue asked her to fry seven more eggs, one for each person.

By the time she went out, Fei'an and Xiaoxi had already cleaned up the chicken poop in the yard and filled in all the chicken chop pits.

Just when Qiao Ruyue was thinking about how to make a chicken pen, there was a sudden knock on the courtyard door, and when she opened the door, she saw Chen Tiezhu standing at the door with a basket.

Seeing that it was Qiao Ruyue who opened the door, Chen Tiezhu's eyes immediately raised a smile: "Sister Qiao, my chicken can't finish too many eggs, so I'll send you some." ”

After that, he directly put the basket into Qiao Ruyue's hand, not giving Qiao Ruyue a chance to refuse.

However, she just bought eggs yesterday, and she now has hens at home......

"Sister Qiao, you also raise chickens? You can't do this chicken pen, it's too short, do you have a machete? You wait, I'll make one for you! ”

Hearing this, Qiao Ruyue was overjoyed, this is great, it just so happened that she was worried about how to take the chicken pen?

Chen Tiezhu took a machete and went to the bamboo forest to cut bamboo, got some straw, and nailed piles and built sheds in the yard, so that the chickens could not only have a place to sleep in the rain, but also a place to walk and bask in the sun.

He worked very neatly, a chicken shed was finished in an hour, and the chicken pen also had a very convenient door, which was convenient for people to go in to feed the chickens and pick up eggs.

Qiao Ruyue was very surprised to see such a chicken pen, even the five children.

"Daddy, you're amazing!"

Qiao Xiaoxi couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

There is a chicken pen with two girls and a father, and the chickens don't want to fly out again!

Chen Tiezhu touched the back of his head embarrassedly, then glanced at Qiao Ruyue, and said with a smile:

"Sister Qiao, what do you want to do at home in the future, just look for me, I have learned carpenter and bricklayer!"

Qiao Ruyue nodded when she heard this, and immediately took out the money, twenty eggs and twenty wen, this chicken pen bamboo and straw were all transported by himself, no matter how you say it, you have to give fifty wengong.

Seeing Qiao Ruyue handing over the money, the smile on Chen Tiezhu's face froze.

He hurriedly put his hands behind his back: "Sister Qiao, this egg is for you to eat, this chicken pen is a gesture for me!" ”

Seeing that Qiao Ruyue still wanted to give money, Chen Tiezhu hurriedly ran home.

Qiao Ruyue's hand holding the money hung in the air, looking at Chen Tiezhu's back in disbelief and running away, it was strange, there were people who didn't like money?

She suddenly remembered that Village Chief Lu told her about the matchmaker yesterday, could it be that he liked her?

Oh my God, this favor is even cleaner!

Just when Qiao Ruyue was about to go to the town to buy some food and come back and invite Chen Tiezhu to lunch, Village Chief Lu suddenly came to inform him to gather at the entrance of the village!

Qiao Ruyue remembered what she had said to the village chief yesterday, and immediately agreed, and then left the eldest girl to take care of Qiao Ruxia at home, so she took the other four children to gather at the entrance of the village.

At the entrance of the village, the persimmon tree was already full of people.

Everyone came over after hearing the notice of the village chief, because generally only the village chief would summon everyone to the village entrance for a meeting.

Village Chief Lu glanced at the people in front of him and confirmed that everyone had come before he spoke about today's incident.

As soon as everyone heard that the village was going to open a school, many people lost interest and continued to listen.

Their ancestors have been mud legs for generations, what are they going to school for? Do you want to send a girl to a school too?

Raise a girl until she is 14 years old and get married!

As for the fact that they are already parents, what are they doing studying now?

Like Zhang Xiucai, is he still a showman after more than ten years? Over the years, I don't know how much money it has spent?

Mother-in-law can marry a few!

Zhang Qingcheng, who was suddenly named by everyone, was full of black lines, these people, when he won the top prize, will definitely wash away today's shame.

"Reading is not necessarily for the sake of fame, can't it be for the sake of literacy?

Dare to ask everyone, don't you envy Zhang Qingcheng's literacy?

When I received letters and wrote letters on weekdays, which one didn't go to Zhang Qingcheng's house to ask him for help?

The town moves goods for 35 wen a day, and the accounts kept there are also 35 wen a day.

The same salary, but people can only sit there with a pen, but what about us, we are so tired that we can earn it by sweating our clothes! ”

Qiao Ruyue said.

But only a few people were moved, but when they thought of the high tuition fees, they retreated!

"I support the opening of a school in the village, and my family is prosperous and the second girl is the first to sign up!"

At this moment, Chen Tiezhu was the first to speak.

The village chief also supported: "My maids, rotten eggs, and stinky beans also signed up, so that the children can read and write!" ”

But even so, there was no squeak from others.

The next thing is to harvest the wheat, who has time to clean the insect temple and make tables and stools?

Besides, the tuition fee is so expensive, and the tuition fee for five years is enough to marry a mother-in-law, so what do you spend that money for?

Looking at the back of everyone leaving, Village Chief Lu sighed and said to Qiao Ruyue: "Xiaoxi Niang, I'm afraid that the matter of opening a school in our village will not be possible!" ”

Everyone had no idea of sending their children to school, Tie Zhu and he took the lead, but they couldn't call for the next person.

But Qiao Ruyue's eyes lit up, since the school can't be used as a village collective, what about that person?

"Village Chief Lu, how much does it cost to buy the Worm God Temple?" Qiao Ruyue asked.

Well?

Village Chief Lu was stunned and said in surprise: "Xiaoxi Niang, you want to buy the Worm God Temple?" ”

Not only him, but even Chen Tiezhu who was present was also surprised.

Qiao Xiaoxi's eyes widened even more, although the Insect God Temple was only a temple, its area was about the size of three rooms.

Moreover, because in the past, the village attached great importance to the insect temple, which was built with bricks and a tile roof, and every piece of wood used was thick and good!

How much does it cost?

Qiao Xiaoxi quickly calculated how much money Qiao Ruyue had now, but the last two times were when her mother went to sell underwear in the town by herself, and she didn't know how much she sold?

Probably a dozen or two savings? Qiao Xiaoxi guessed.

Seeing Qiao Ruyue really nodded, Village Chief Lu had no choice but to say: "This temple was built by everyone in the village more than a hundred years ago, although it has been a long time, the village has been repaired every year, and it is not much different from the new temple."

Therefore, if you buy this temple, you will get twenty taels. ”

Saying that, Village Chief Lu persuaded: "Xiaoxi Niang, so much money can buy two acres of fertile land, why bother to toss the school?" ”

What's more, Village Chief Lu felt that Qiao Ruyue would not have so much money!

She is a widow who has no work, and the money Zhong Yan earned from hunting before was also spent by her on Zhang Qingcheng.

Therefore, he deliberately said that two acres of fertile land would give Qiao Ruyue a step down.

No, Qiao Ruyue insisted on buying the Worm Temple, and took out twenty taels of silver tickets in front of her!

“！！！”

“？？？”

Village Chief Lu, Chen Tiezhu, Wangcai, Erniu, Qiao Fei'an, Qiao Xiaoxi, Erya, and Sanya who were present had never seen such a big silver ticket, and their eyes were like gongs!

Village Chief Lu's hand holding the money trembled even more, and he asked worriedly, "Xiaoxi Niang, where did you get so much money?" ”

Ten taels of silver tickets, two!

On weekdays, everyone rarely even has a tael of broken silver, who is not a copper plate strung together?

Qiao Ruyue smiled slightly and said calmly: "Village chief, I am now selling clothes and making some money." ”

Village Chief Lu's eyes widened, is this making some money?

Qiao Xiaoxi thought in her heart, her mother bought so many things, and the twenty taels were spent, I am afraid that she has no savings!

How did she know that Qiao Ruyue went to the town to sell clothes twice, once for fifty taels and once for a full one hundred!!

Seeing that Qiao Ruyue was really rich, Village Chief Lu reassured Qiao Ruyue, and he went to the inspection hall to help her get the title deed and house deed of the Insect God Temple for her.

From now on, this insect temple is her personal property, and it is no longer in the village!
