Chapter 2035: Chapter 1771: Do You Want to Visit?
Qiaoqiao is very eager to learn.
At this mont, having morized the words of the landlady, he seriously tries to apply each scenario in his mind, and finally realizes—
"It doesn’t work at my ho."
Huh?
This ti, it was the landlady’s turn to be surprised: "Is the atmosphere in your village that good?"
Qiaoqiao thought for a mont: "Everyone is too busy! No ti for such things."
As he spoke, he counted: "In winter, there’s a lot of work with planting cabbages, radishes, coriander, and many other vegetables. The better we plant, the more money we earn."
"After the new year, we have to prepare winter fertilizer again for both the hills and fields at ho, using both villagers and machines together."
Not only do we need to prepare fertilizer, but while ploughing deep ridges and furrows, we also need to pick and remove the never-ending roots and stems.
When the spring temperature rises, it’s ti to start sowing again.
Wages range from tens to hundreds, and everyone is reluctant to miss out on this money.
Everyone was full of envy.
Even though he only ntioned the relatively idle winter and spring seasons, the landlady and the leaders were already listening with eyes shining—
After all, in the countryside, this is considered the slack season for farrs.
If there’s so much work even during the slack season, there’s no need to say much about the harvest seasons of sumr and autumn, is there?
The leader next to him sighed:
"In Baiyu County, every household also has land. After harvesting grapes in the sumr, they go out to work in the autumn, so they’re not idle either..."
This was sothing Qiaoqiao knew: "I know, I know, Teacher Tang taught !"
"Those who have stable property have stable lives. A stable inco can soothe one’s spirit!"
Huh?
The landlady felt a bit dizzy hearing this, but the leaders’ eyes lit up.
["Those who have stable property have stable lives"], since ancient tis, this is the route that governance has followed.
They just didn’t expect Qiaoqiao, who still looked so innocent, to say this with such seriousness.
Their surprise and curiosity encouraged Qiaoqiao, so much so that he recalled with slight thought, and responded with great excitent:
"Last year, when Teacher Tang ca to my house, she said there were too many people in our village working outside, proving the land couldn’t hold the people."
Economist Teacher Tang didn’t just teach Qiaoqiao music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
Those things, if the child is interested, they can learn a bit. Whether to specialize depends entirely on interest.
But besides that, when teaching Qiaoqiao to behave and study, they always felt he was too young and na??ve, hence ignoring subtle influences on the broader aspects—Teacher Tang had quite a few words on this matter.
Fortunately, Qiaoqiao is an obedient child, like a blank slate, learning what he’s taught.
His mind is bright, occasionally offering insights that can surprise Teacher Tang.
Thus, this refined little old lady and he got along quite well, saying quite a bit that should and shouldn’t be said.
Except, as the family was busy, and he studied alone in his room, Song Tan only learned today that Teacher Tang had told him this too!
No wonder last year, every so often, there were reminders to lead rural developnt.
Even Lun Chuan was a bit shocked seeing Qiaoqiao speak eloquently.
Look, Qiaoqiao spoke fluently; his words, though straightforward, carried profound aning.
"So, as long as we want to put down roots in the village, if conditions permit, we should still develop our hotown, so they will slowly be willing to return."
"Because drifting outside, hearts are unsettled, minds scattered, they are easily swayed by outside influences. Coming back and seeing ho like this makes one uneasy."
"Unease ans fearing others are doing well, or fearing others are doing better than oneself."
What a sentence ["fearing others are well, and fearing others are better than oneself"], it’s just like the village often says ["laughing at those with nothing, begrudging those with"].
Several leaders’ eyes shone.
They weren’t just shocked by this principle, but hearing such words said so sincerely from Qiaoqiao’s mouth, truly painted a vivid picture.
And that Teacher Tang, despite her straightforward words, people with lesser insight might not even co up with them.
And look at this fairy-like family’s appearance, even employing such an unknown figure to nurture a child—this family’s vision is truly grand!
The grand-visioned Song Tan pondered silently:
Sumr vacation is soon; Professor Song said he’d co this year, but his schedule kept being delayed.
What about Professor Tang?
Perhaps Professor Tang can co stay for a while first?
And Lun Chuan, also listening attentively, decided to talk with Qiaoqiao in depth later—so principles may seem simple, but precisely because they are simple, they are universally applicable and useful anywhere.
"...And besides, if there’s a lot of leisure ti, but no work and no money can be earned, the environnt becos restless and issues arise..."
