After Ye Yaodong had arranged all these things, he lay at home for a few days with peace of mind.

It wasn't until dinner that Ye's mother talked about the scholarship and asked Ah Qing to prepare it. It only cost a little over thirty yuan.

From first grade to junior high school, there are only about a dozen people with good grades who are forced to drop out of school. There are many more dropouts with poor grades, but this is not within the scope of their help.

In recent days, despite repeated visits from teachers, village cadres, and the Women's Federation, parents have been unable to save face. Since someone is paying for the school fees and taking advantage of the bastards, most of them have been asked to go back to school.

Of course, for students, they still have to do less work at home, but if they have the opportunity to study again, they will definitely work harder.

Most of the people here are girls. There are only a few two or three boys whose families are really in trouble and the burden is too heavy. For example, if their father is killed in the family, they only have their mother and a group of weak brothers and sisters, so they have to drop out of school and take on the challenge.

Lift the burden at home.

When Ye’s mother talks about the families with children who have dropped out of school, she feels very sad.

I had never been exposed to it before, so I had to sweep away the snow on my own. Now, I have become more aware, I have seen more, and the soft spots in my heart have also been touched.

Either there is extreme preference for boys over girls, or there is a lack of family, and every family has sutras that are difficult to recite.

Their children are the happiest and have no worries about anything.

After hearing this, Ye Yaodong felt that his move was too wise. Reading can change your destiny. This is not just talk, it is real, especially in this era.

For children, reading is the easiest and best shortcut.

Lin Xiuqing nodded in agreement after hearing what Ye Mu said, and gave her money after the meal.

As a result, within two days, two parents inquired about it one after another and came directly to the door, bringing some vegetables grown in the fields and pickled local specialties to express their thanks.

After all, if this funding is confirmed, as long as there are no changes, the tuition fees for these children until graduation will be provided by Ye Yaodong.

Ye Yaodong's family was also very relieved. It was light on courtesy but heavy on affection. They didn't ask for any amount of gratitude from others, just remember it well.

Many times after helping others, it would be nice to get a thank you.

To their surprise, they met a boy who came to thank him with two crucian carps.

"Uncle, don't you remember me? My father died during the typhoon the year before last. I snatched blue crabs from you at the beach, and you gave me the blue crabs later."

Having said this, Ye Yaodong also remembered, isn't this the house where A Guang's first boat came from?

"Ah, is it you?"

"Haha, my brother finished fifth grade in the first half of the year and was in the first year of the second half of the year. He originally didn't plan to go to school. No matter what we said, it was useless. He just wanted to stay at home and help my mother farm, so that I could go out to work and make money.

.”

"We were all very sorry. His grades were pretty good, and the teacher even called us, but he was determined and said he didn't want to go, so we gave up. Unexpectedly, my uncle helped pay for the tuition."

"In the past few days, teachers and village committee members have come to talk to me, and my mother has been persuading him. He also thought that he would no longer have to pay tuition fees, so he was willing to go back to school."

Ye Yaodong now realized that the sponsorship was going to his younger brother.

He exchanged a few pleasantries and sighed in his heart as he listened to the child's repeated thanks.

After sending the person away, he said to Ah Qing: "Hey, children without a father or a mother are very pitiful."

"No, without a father, the family will be without a pillar, and the sky will collapse. A child without a mother will also suffer, and no one will care about it. If there is a stepmother, it will be even worse."

"Fortunately, Aguang didn't have a stepmother, and he was already old when his mother didn't exist. Otherwise, he would be as pitiful as a baby cabbage in the field."

"Actually, Uncle Pei is the same age as dad, not too old."

"Isn't that not much different from the widow next door?"

Lin Xiuqing choked down her throat with a sip of water and coughed wildly.

Ye Yaodong quickly patted her on the back, "You can still choke on water. How old are you?"

Lin Xiuqing coughed and tears came out. She couldn't speak and could only stare at him fiercely.

It wasn't until he calmed down that I patted him twice.

"How can you talk like this? I was talking about my father-in-law, but you talked about the widow next door."

"Haha, didn't that boy just leave? Then you mentioned that Uncle Pei is young and seemed to be a matchmaker for him. Then didn't I immediately think of the widow next door?"

"How can I? How can I, a junior, have the nerve to act as a matchmaker for him, let alone my in-laws!"

Lin Xiuqing gave him a fierce look, which was too outrageous.

"Then I didn't say anything. I just talked about the widow next door. Your reaction was so big, which means you are thinking wrongly."

"I just admitted it and said."

"If you don't admit it, why should I?"

Lin Xiuqing slapped the tough-talking person hard twice, "It's a good thing no one heard it, otherwise I wouldn't know what the news would be like."

Ye Yaodong pursed his lips.

A widower, a widow, and two next-door neighbors, isn’t that just right and a good match?

Otherwise, who will take care of a grown man when he gets old? In daily life, you cannot always rely on your children. If your children are not around, you will not even have anyone to talk to.

I don’t know what Uncle Pei was like in his previous life, but he never left in this life anyway, so it’s hard to say anything.

"Uncle Pei's family is in a state of shock now. He is so rich, his family is so rich, and his boat is so big. There must be many pretty widows who are interested in him."

"Stop talking, it's not our turn to worry about this. Even that guy just now was very thoughtful and even brought two crucian carps here."

"Let's make crucian carp and tofu soup tonight and add some sauerkraut. I haven't eaten the crucian carp and tofu soup you cooked for a long time."

"Don't you all dislike the earthy smell of the fish in this river? No one ate it when I cooked it before."

"Don't look at how you cooked it in the past. You were reluctant to add oil. You have to be willing to put more oil, fry both sides, and add more ginger and scallion cooking wine, so that the earthy smell will be lighter."

"You are so good at saying it, why don't you do it?"

"Then I'll do it. Don't cry when the time comes."

"Tch, you're used to being able to open your mouth, but you can also make crucian carp?"

Ye Yaodong passed by the straw rope that tied the fish in her hand, "I'll open your eyes later. If you have nothing to do, go grab some snails. I'll fry you some fried snails tonight."

"Make yourself very good at it."

Lin Xiuqing shook her head, and took advantage of her free time to find a vise and prepare to clamp the snail's tail for him.

It's true that those children brought several buckets back and couldn't finish the food. They couldn't finish the duck. They went to the river for a swim every day, and they would still eat this when they came back.

"The house construction will start tomorrow, don't run around and get up early."

"I know. I will remember the date. After I finish eating, I will go to my hometown to bring the ladder, and my father and I will tie up the nylon bag and tie it to the beam."

Ye Yaodong didn't want to move back to his hometown. It was too troublesome, not to mention that his treasures were here and he wasn't looking at them. How could he have peace of mind? He wanted to die in this world.

So I came up with another idea later and tied a roll of nylon bags with ropes above the heads of the main room and each room, so that I would not worry about working on the top of my head and being unable to live below.

At least I can cook and sleep without having to worry about dust or debris falling, since there is a nylon bag to cover it.

When they were working during the day, they would not go into the house, but would just watch from the yard. When they were not working at night, they would go into the house and take a nap, which would not have much impact, and would only last for a month.

The nylon bag can be stretched out to prevent rain, which saves you from having to move a bunch of things at home, which is really like a big move.

In the past few days, he has also brought all the dried fish at home to the city. The ones that are still drying in the workshop will not be affected at all. After drying, they can still be temporarily stored in the small house in the workshop.

Some of the wood, planks and other materials they ordered have been delivered in the past few days, and more will be delivered in the future.

After the three families began to build a building together, most of them left Ye's father at home to take charge. The three brothers still went out to fish on their own. Every day, they would leave some fish and shrimps back to serve as food for the workers.

Except for the cost of rice and grain, everything else is basically self-produced and sold, which is quite economical.

The children at home were very happy when they found out that their house was going to be built again. Without anyone telling them, they spontaneously helped move the bricks every day, and they didn't rush to school until it was almost time.

Ye Yaodong and the others also considered that it was inconvenient to build large stones upwards, unsafe to lift, and not that convenient, so they considered using red bricks directly on the second floor. Most of the buildings built in the village were also made of red bricks.

Ye Xiaoxi is too small to hold big bricks, so she sits in the sand and plays with the sand every day. She usually doesn't have much fun going to the beach, but now she can have a lot of fun.

Ye Yaodong also doted on his children. He secretly gave her a spatula to dig sand and an iron bowl for her. However, he got out of control and had a great time playing every day. The first time he opened his eyes was

Find a spatula and a bowl, then rush to the sand pile.

It was so hard for Lin Xiuqing that she had to wash her head full of sand every day, and then she wouldn't be allowed to play. She would just lie down on the ground crying and roll in the sand.

I didn't have time to watch her all day long, so I could only scold Ye Yaodong for blindly teaching children, and then let her go.

Ye Yaodong kept sneezing wildly when he was at sea. He thought it was because the weather was getting cooler. It was already mid-to-late October, and the sea breeze was also chilly. He didn't find out until he got scolded after returning home.

The father and daughter both looked at each other with their little eyes at the dinner table.

When he pretended to be sad and made a face with his mouth flat, Ye Xiaoxi laughed unceremoniously, spraying the rice grains on the table, and pointed at him with his index finger and laughed.

At this time, Ye Yaodong was scolded again.

"I'm not serious all day long, and I have to tease her even when I'm eating. What should I do if she chokes on food later?"

"Who told her to look at me?"

"You didn't look at her, do you know she looked at you?"

Lin Xiuqing was finally caught and the situation was restored. In the past, she had been blocked and had nothing to say.

"Wrong sense!"
