Liu Yunxiang watched the students study, and the cook came over to ask what to eat at night. The two said a few words, and when the cook left, she said that it was going to rain that day.

Liu Yunxiang looked up and saw that the dark clouds were rolling in the west, and they had been overwhelmed. At this time, Yan Du had not come back yet, thinking that things were not going well, she guessed that he had already gone to Yangzhou.

"Master, I want to go home." Then a teenage boy came running up to her and told her.

Liu Yunxiang turned around and sighed, "Why did you suddenly say that you want to go home?" ”

The child lowered his head and said with some shame: "The last time I came to the academy from home, my father and mother disagreed, saying that it was useless to study, and asked me to go back to help them do farm work, and I ran out secretly. I've thought about it these days, it's not easy for my parents, I should be considerate of them, so I should not read it. ”

Liu Yunxiang sighed, and was thinking about how to persuade the child, when two more children ran over and said that they were going to quit school.

"My father said that the students of Mid-Levels Academy could not participate in the township examination, and he planned to sell the two acres of land at home and send me to Minghui or Mingyuan Academy to study."

"I'm not good at studying, so it's not good to stay in the academy and live in vain."

Liu Yunxiang exhaled, and saw that many of the other students were also shaken when they saw other students looking at this side.

If she relents, I'm afraid that it will be like when she and Yan Dusk came, and there are only three or five people left in the book.

"Mr. has gone to Yangzhou, and when he comes back, you will tell him, okay?" Liu Yunxiang used this to retain these students.

"But ......"

"Besides, it's going to rain heavily this day, and it's not safe to go down the mountain at this time."

Seeing Liu Yunxiang say this, a few children still stayed first.

Sure enough, after a while, dark clouds pressed over, and raindrops the size of beans fell. Liu Yunxiang first let the children go to the backyard to eat, and after eating, she wanted the children to go back to the house to rest. But Bamboo came to her and told her that the house they were staying in was leaking.

Liu Yunxiang went over to check, and saw that there was more than one place where the rain was leaking, and instructed the students to put away the bedding. She thought about it again and asked Bamboo to inform everyone to go to the front yard school.

The school lit the oil lamp, Liu Yunxiang guarded them, and seeing that the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, her premonition was getting worse and worse. Sure enough, after a thunderclap, she heard a bang coming out of the backyard, and she hurriedly opened an umbrella to look, and saw that the roof of the house in the backyard had collapsed under the heavy rain.

The students also followed, and when they saw this scene, the big guys were a little dumbfounded.

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly brought the children back to the school, but fortunately, this room was reinforced, and there was no rain leakage for the time being.

"Everyone's staying here tonight, and we'll talk about it tomorrow morning." Liu Yunxiang told everyone.

The rainy night was really cold, Liu Yunxiang leaned against the wall, and when she was in a daze, a quilt was put on her. Liu Yunxiang opened his eyes and saw that it was bamboo.

"Fang Wanjin's house is fine, I took it from him." Bamboo said simply.

Liu Yunxiang pushed the quilt away and asked him to give it to a few young children. Then she got up and saw that the rain had stopped outside.

Bamboo did so, and then walked behind Liu Yunxiang.

"The roofs of the last few houses have collapsed, but it doesn't matter, if we repair it, we can still live in it." Bamboo Road.

Liu Yunxiang turned around and patted Zhuzi on the shoulder, "When the morning dawns, you can take them down the mountain, go back to their respective homes first, and when the house of the academy is repaired, you will come back to study." But these days when you go home, you must keep your books in your hand every day, and you must not waste your studies. ”

"I'll stay with the sweet potatoes to help you and my husband repair the house together."

"No, you're still young, and my husband and I will find a way to repair the house."

Saying that, Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but sigh, let the students go home, and when the house was repaired, he would call them back, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to call a few back. At this moment, she finally realized the helplessness of Old Man Bai.

At dawn, under the urging of Liu Yunxiang, the three eldest children, bamboo, donkey and sweet potato, went down the mountain with the younger children, and the cook also went home first.

Stepping on the mud to the backyard and looking at the ruins, Liu Yunxiang sighed loudly. Just when she didn't know what to do, the bamboo came, and Lao Yuan called her.

Liu Yunxiang turned his head to look and saw that the bamboo also brought a middle-aged man, and the man was holding something in his hand.

"Master, I called my father here and asked him to help us repair the house."

Hearing this, Liu Yunxiang hurriedly greeted him. At this time, I found that there were donkeys and sweet potatoes behind them, and they all came with their families.

"Mrs. Yan, I heard from the child that the roof of the academy's house has collapsed, let's come and help you repair it. It's not a big deal, don't be in a hurry and close this academy. ”

"Yes, we don't have the money for the children to go to those two academies, but we want the children to have a career, and this Mid-Levels Academy is our hope."

"You have a problem, even if you say that our pockets are empty, but we have the strength."

Liu Yunxiang listened to these words, her heart was heavy, and she was also warm, after thanking her, she led these simple parents to the backyard to see if this house could be repaired, and how to repair it.

After the big guy discussed, he got to work in full swing.

Adults climbed to the roof to fix it, and children moved bricks and mud underneath. After a while, other children arrived with their parents, including those who were going to drop out of school and their parents.

"My son has learned a lot of things in Mid-Levels Academy, and he is not blind, Mr. Bai knows that our family is in difficulty, and we don't want to be restrained, we have to know how to be grateful."

"Yes, even if we can't go to it, but the academy is in trouble, we have to help."

Liu Yunxiang thanked him again and again, and saw the big guy roll up his sleeves and do it.

And what made Liu Yunxiang even more unexpected was that Xie Si came, and Fang Wanjin also came. When they heard about the collapse of the building of the Mid-Levels Academy, they tried their best to rush back.

After a busy day's work, when it was almost dark, the house was finally repaired, and at this time Yan Dusk also returned.

He brought back good news that the government had reinstated the qualifications of students of Mid-Levels College to participate in the township examination.

When the big guys heard the news, they were all excited.

Liu Yunxiang looked at these children and their parents, pressed her hand, and asked them to listen to her quietly.

"Mr. Bai will be back, so I hope everyone can wait for him so that he won't come back when Mid-Levels Academy is already gone. Now that the Mid-Levels College has also resumed its qualifications, there will be Enke next spring, and then five students from our college will be able to take the township examination, which is the hope. I believe that everyone sends their children to study with this hope in mind. Let the children stay, the college does not need to pay a penny, but please trust the college and believe in their children. ”

Listening to Liu Yunxiang say this, parents, look at me, I look at you. Parents who want their children to withdraw from school are still hesitant at the moment.

Yan Du said: "There are still three months to Enke, why don't we fight for it at the end!" ”
