Chapter 1340 Collapse
Everyone in the room was surprised when they heard that Yang Yongxian was going to give up his studies and come back to shoulder the burden of supporting the family with Yang Yongjin.
Lao Yangtou stood up from his seat and asked nervously: "Yongxian, what are you going to do?"
Yang Yongxian turned around, looked at Old Yangtou with a smile, and said respectfully: "Sir, I won't read it anymore. I went to ask Mu Zichuan for help today."
"I want him to help me find connections and find a place in the town for me to sit in and teach children how to read."
"Of course, if any wealthy family wants to invite you, I would also be willing to go..."
"no!"
Lao Yang waved his hand and stopped Yang Yongxian's words.
The old man remembered that his face was red and he looked panicked as if the sky was falling.
He rushed to Yang Yongxian and said loudly: "You are the hope of our old Yang family. In three generations, you are the only scholar like you."
"You have to read it to me carefully. Your grandma and I also have some coffin books for you to read!"
"Don't have anything to worry about. Just read it carefully to me. It's up to you to shine brightly!"
Old Yang said over and over again, remembering that the veins on his forehead were popping out one by one.
However, Yang Yongxian was determined after eating the weight.
"Sir, I appreciate your kindness, but my mind has been made up about my grandson," he said slowly.
"I'm not the type to go to school at all. Come back and be a husband, earn money to support the family, marry a wife and have children, serve the elders, and support the younger brothers. That's what I, the eldest brother, should do."
"Yongxian, please think about it again..." Old Yangtou almost begged.
Others around him also tried to persuade him, but no one could stop Yang Yongxian's stubbornness.
Finally, Lao Yang turned around and sat back in his seat.
His whole body was like an eggplant beaten by frost, completely numb.
He sat there and poured himself a glass of wine.
Then he raised his head and drank it in one breath, tears welled up in his eyes, and he lay on the table and cried loudly.
Everyone panicked.
Seeing Lao Yangtou, he got angry and went crazy.
But I have never seen him cry like this...
Yang Ruoqing was caught in the crowd, listening to the suppressed cries of the old Yangtou one after another, like an old cow lying on the deserted field ridge, letting out its last, desperate wail.
The expectation of a lifetime, the spiritual support for most of my life, at this moment... collapsed.
This reunion dinner on the Winter Solstice Festival ended in loneliness.
Old Yangtou returned to his old house sadly, while Yang Yongxian and Yang Huazhou stayed behind.
Yang Huazhong and Yang Huazhou asked Yang Yongxian again what he meant.
Yang Yongxian said: "I really have a plan to make money to support my family and live in peace of mind."
Everyone was speechless and could say nothing more.
Yang Ruoqing finally spoke up at this time.
"Brother, if you are serious about making plans, let me make a suggestion." She said.
Yang Yongxian then looked at Yang Ruoqing and motioned for her to continue.
"Brother, instead of working as a teacher for those wealthy families in the town, you might as well teach children in our Changping Village," she said.
"Changping Village?" Yang Yongxian raised his eyebrows.
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Yes!"
"Our Changping Village is the largest village among the ten villages nearby."
"But our Changping Village doesn't have its own school."
"In the past, because there was a wealthy man named Li in Lijia Village, and his children had to go to school, wealthy man Li invited an old man to come back and teach in the three small rooms at the entrance of the village."
"Eldest brother and Mu Zichuan, you both went to Lijiacun to study."
"Nowadays, the school in Lijia Village has been abandoned. Da'an Dajie and others all go to the town to study, which is very inconvenient."
"If you, brother, are willing to go back to the village and teach the children to read, sister, I will build a school. I will ask you to be the teacher who sits in the school and teach the children to read."
"Brother, what do you think?" she asked.
Become a teacher in Qing'er's school?
Yang Yongxian showed a thoughtful expression.
Yang Ruoqing continued: "If you go to those places in town to sit down, how much does it cost per month? I'll give you double the money."
"You are all acquaintances in the village. It is convenient to take care of grandma and grandma, and you don't have to go to the town to live with someone else." She said.
Yang Yongxian's eyes shone with anticipation, looking eager to try.
On the side, Luo Fengtang also took advantage of the heat: "I agree with Qing'er's proposal."
"Not to mention other surrounding villages, let's just talk about Changping Village."
"Although there were floods this year, life will be a little tight for everyone."
"But when this season's wheat matures, everyone will have enough to eat again."
"In addition, Qing'er's herb collection team and transportation team have brought money to the people in our village and given them living money."
"When people have money, they will plan to send their children to elementary schools."
"If we set up a school in the village, we will definitely be able to recruit students," he said.
"Even if there aren't too many students to cover Brother Yongxian's monthly salary, it doesn't matter."
"Qing'er and I will spend our money to support this school, because this is something that will benefit the village."
"Brother Yongxian, don't hesitate and come back to teach!" Luo Fengtang finally said.
During the discussion, Yang Huazhong and others also nodded, thinking that this was a good idea.
Seeing that everyone thought so, Yang Yongxian made a decisive decision and said to Yang Ruoqing: "Okay, I will listen to sister Qing'er and brother-in-law Fengtang."
"But, where is the school? I'm afraid my house won't work..." he added.
Yang Ruoqing smiled.
"If eldest brother makes up his mind to come back to teach, I will naturally take care of the construction of the school."
she said.
After making money and meeting the basic necessities of life, you still have to do something meaningful.
Build bridges, pave roads, and build schools for the village...
The children of farmers want to escape the fate of their ancestors.
There are only two paths available: studying and joining the army.
This is a very meaningful thing, she is willing to do it, and she is also willing to help children in need within her own ability.
"I'll ask Tang Yazi to discuss it later with Uncle Li Zheng and several village elders. They will definitely agree."
Yang Ruoqing continued.
"When the time comes, let the Earth Fairy choose a piece of land in the most feng shui place in the village, circle it, build an academy, and put up a signboard."
"Our academy not only accepts children from our Changping Village, but also children from surrounding villages can come and study here."
"Brother, please teach well. You may not be the best student, but you will definitely be the best teacher."
"Let's work hard together, okay?"
Hearing Yang Ruoqing's plans for the new school and her encouragement to him.
Yang Yongxian suddenly felt that the blood all over his body was boiling at this moment.
"Okay, let's do it together and lift the school up!"
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became better again.
