Chapter 597 Plans Can't Keep Up with Changes
Lin Chang'er was unaware of the little ones' secret plot on the boat. After returning to Linshui Village, she went to discuss with Madam Huo the arrangements for Wang Dalang, Dazhuang, and the others she had brought back the previous night.
Madam Huo said, "This morning, your sister-in-law and I went to check out the houses on the other side of the river. There's definitely no problem settling in, but it's still a bit far away."
Lin Chang'er nodded in agreement, "You're right, but it's almost the end of the year, and the Ciyoutang will have to wait until after the New Year at the earliest."
After a pause, he said, "They say it's the end of the year, but if you count the time, it's only a month or two. We'll eat all our meals at the small canteen, and we'll probably be at the new house most of the day. We'll just sleep there at night. Nowadays, there are people patrolling the village day and night, so our safety should be guaranteed."
Hearing this, Madam Huo had no other opinions, only saying, "Let's ask the village head first, buy the land, and then pick a day, preferably to lay the foundation before the new year, so that we can start building the house right after the new year."
“That’s what I think too.” Lin Chang’er had no objection to this, but, “Back when I bought land to build a house, the surrounding plots of land had all been sold. Otherwise, it would have been the most convenient to live nearby.”
Madam Huo laughed and said, "That's right, but a gentleman doesn't take what others like. Is there any vacant land near the primary school? If so, that would be good too."
Lin Chang'er rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment, "I originally reserved a piece of land over there, intending to build a staff housing for the primary school."
"Is that place big enough? If it is big enough, it would be great to build the family compound and the orphanage together in one place," Madam Huo asked hurriedly.
Lin Chang'er shook her head, "Back then, even the primary school couldn't find a teacher. Later, my godfather picked a few students who hadn't performed well in the exams and had them work part-time while studying. That's how we filled the gap in teachers."
“When I first started the school, I thought that once the children grew up to a certain age and had learned enough, I would send them to Yunhai Academy.”
Who knew that Chen Shanzhang's connections would come into play later?
You don't have to go to the county to learn the knowledge you can learn right at your doorstep, right?
The primary school was practically a children's school, with tuition and meals completely free. If you went to Yunhai Academy, the tuition alone would be...
Their family could certainly afford it, but the purpose of running the school wasn't really to run a school; it was to provide talent for the future, serving as a reserve pool.
Nowadays, we have access to more and wider resources.
The horse farm we discussed with Wu Qingfeng can only start construction after the new year.
Headmaster Chen also spoke with the teachers at Yunhai Academy, and they were all willing to bring their disciples to study here and give lectures to the children at the primary school.
Of course, given the current scale of primary schools, very few children can understand what they are learning.
That's alright. After all, a person can't sit in a well forever.
They need to hear from outsiders about how big and amazing the outside world is before they'll yearn to see it for themselves.
That's why she's willing to take the children out.
Nowadays, the villagers of Linshui Village have no worries about food and drink, but the greenhouse is the easiest place to cultivate laziness.
We cannot let children become complacent and fall into depravity. Before they have the opportunity to practice, they should first listen to how others describe things.
When conditions permit, she will naturally find opportunities to let the children go out and see the world.
Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles!
So, her ambitions were a bit too small back then, and her original plans are no longer keeping up with the changes that have occurred!
