Chapter 20 Special events and special affairs help settle down
Lin Wanwan said that fortunately she worked hard when she was a child and enrolled in the school's free calligraphy interest class. Not to mention how well she practiced calligraphy, she could barely read it. She also learned a lot in the process of practicing calligraphy.
Even if she has not studied it systematically, she will not have any difficulty reading traditional Chinese. Therefore, at her level, it is more than enough to teach the children in this small closed seaside village.
Lin Wanwan immediately suggested: "Let's build the clan school next to my house. Then the foundation will be laid out and it will be built together with my own house. This will be my gift to the clan."
Chief Lin waved his hand and said: "Then you can't come, you can't. If you are willing to control the children in the cultivating village to read, it will be good enough. Our clan still has some public money, and we fish and sell fish in the first half of the year. The catch has not yet been divided.”
Lin Wanwan smiled and said: "Uncle Patriarch, please let me do my best and don't argue with me. Children's education is a big deal, so I'm happy to contribute to this. Oh, by the way, Uncle Patriarch, everyone who comes to school is regardless of gender. I Collect them all. Moreover, I will also take care of a lunch for the children."
"This, this, this, this girl is going to get married eventually, and she's going to teach you? She's also going to take care of the food?" Patriarch Lin was trembling as he spoke.
Lin Wanwan said: "Master left me a lot of money. I will not take it with me in life or death. It is worth investing it in the children of the clan. When Master adopted me and taught me, he did not dislike me because I was a girl. Naturally, I treat men and women equally. Besides, both men and women are the future of our Lin family!"
Patriarch Lin said "Hey" twice, stood up and squatted down, and finally said: "You are right, boys and girls are all the same, they are all children of our Lin family. Some families do not have boys, so let the girls If you learn how to calligraphy, you can even recruit a son-in-law."
As soon as this matter was mentioned, Patriarch Lin stopped taking a nap. After Lin Wanwan went out, he immediately asked his eldest son Lin Mengwen to notify several clan elders and peers with the prefix "Guo" in the clan to come over to discuss clan affairs.
Just this incident made Patriarch Lin give up the idea of persuading Lin Wanwan to remarry in the future. If she wanted to be a widower, she would do so.
As Li Zheng, who is in charge of 103 households in three villages, Patriarch Lin also has the responsibility of being a matchmaker for widowers and widows. But these responsibilities are nothing compared to the benefits that Lin Wanwan can bring by settling in the clan. What kind of.
His greatest responsibility is to lead the Lin family to become better and better!
Regarding the issue of Lin Wanwan's settlement, Patriarch Lin naturally has to take care of it and must keep Lin Wanwan!
In the Tang Dynasty, the population was counted and census records were compiled after the autumn harvest every year. Lin Wanwan had no parents, no young children, and no direct brothers, so the head of the Lin clan decided to give her a female residence at that time.
But this matter cannot be delayed. He wants Elder He to do something special, and the sooner he can do it, the sooner he can feel at ease.
With him as the clan leader, the Lin family will always be able to protect Lin Wanwan - as long as she is a child of the sincere clan.
After saying this, Lin Wanwan prepared to go back to town with Lin Mengli, taking along the jellyfish clothes and wild large yellow croaker given by Lin Mengbo's family.
Both of these things she will bring back to modern times when she returns to town.
Seeing that Xiao Qingyu was about to leave, Daya and Little Crab were extremely reluctant to leave. Not only did Xiao Qingyu have delicious food to share with them, but there were also fun toys (all wooden toys Lin Wanwan bought from Hyundai) for them to play with. .After just half a day of getting along, the three little guys were already inseparable.
But compared to Daya and Little Crab, Lin Wanwan was the most important to Little Qingyu. When her mother said she was leaving, of course she patted her butt and followed without saying a word.
What she fears most is that if her mother leaves her here, she will cry to death.
"Woooooooo, Xiao Yu'er, will you come back to play with us?" Daya asked her crying.
Xiao Qingyu looked up at Lin Wanwan and asked softly: "Mother, will we come back?"
Lin Wanwan smiled and rubbed her head, and replied: "Of course, mother will build our house here in the future. From now on, our home will be here."
The three little guys immediately danced for joy after hearing this, and no longer cried for the brief separation before them.
Lin Mengbo pushed a cart out, loaded the big yellow croaker and one of Lin Wanwan's boxes onto the cart, and sent them to the Lujiazhuang in front to borrow the oxcart from Patriarch Lu.
Lujiazhuang is not far from Linjiazhuang. Like Linjiazhuang, it is not big. There are only about forty families living in it. On average, one family has about eleven or two people, ranging from oldest to youngest, distributed throughout the mountains.
.
The entire Lujiazhuang does not even have a permanent population of 500, and it is not as densely populated as the community where Lin Wanwan lived in later generations. Her modern community is divided into villa areas and high-rise areas, with a total of 780 households.
In the Tang Dynasty, a village had four households as its neighbors, five as its neighbors, one hundred households as its li, each with one person in charge, five li as one township, and each village with one senior citizen.
There are less than forty households in Lujiazhuang, and there are less than six men in each family, so naturally there is no Li Zheng. In addition to being in charge of all matters big and small, they, the Lu clan chiefs, are also responsible for the Li Zheng.
Clan Lin is in charge.
Linjiazhuang, Lujiazhuang in front of it, and Dafengzhuang in front of it all are the mixed settlements of mountain people who escaped from famine. There are 103 households in total, and they are called one li. There is one Li Zheng, the leader Lin.
The Lu clan in Lujiazhuang has a disabled leg and is a veteran. He is a comrade-in-arms with clan leader Lin and has a close relationship.
Here, the people in Lujiazhuang are all farmers and are relatively the richest; followed by Linjiazhuang. Although they make a living by fishing, they all have the same ancestors and work together, and no one has ever starved to death. As for Dafeng Village, where people live together, the situation is different.
Much worse.
On the way to Lujiazhuang, Lin Mengbo and Lin Mengli told Lin Wanwan something.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the home of Patriarch Lu in Lujiazhuang. Lin Wanwan paid the toll and rented their ox cart to the town.
Returning to the rented courtyard house in the town, Lin Wanwan said goodbye to Lin Mengli.
The little guy had a high fever last night, and after playing for a long time, he fell asleep directly on the bullock cart when he came back.
Lin Wanwan gently opened the door and carried her into the bed in the room. She took out her watch from the locked box and took a look. It was now three-thirty in the afternoon, which is now one-thirty in the morning. It was time to go back.
If there is nothing else, it is better to stay in Datang and accompany Xiao Qingyu.
The little guy didn't sleep deeply, and he woke up less than half an hour later. Seeing that it was still very early, Lin Wanwan took her out to order the bricks and craftsmen for the house.
Although Patriarch Lin said that the men of the clan could repair the house, Lin Wanwan believed that it was still necessary to find a professional to check it.
After all, Yongcheng is a city where typhoons rage every year, especially since they live by the sea. Although the mountains block most of the wind, it is still risky. The houses must be built solidly, so she can rest assured.
