Chapter 960 The School Starts Classes and Another Freeloader Arrives (1)
Zhao Fengnian had "successfully" rescued Fan Meijiao, but before considering the storms that gesture might stir within the Zhao Family, Mo Yan instructed two birds to keep an eye on them. Then she temporarily set aside the matter and busied herself with other things.
Early in the morning on the sixth day of July, a long string of firecrackers sounded in the sky above Liu Yang Village. It was registration day for the newly built schoolhouse, a grand occasion not only for Liu Yang Village but also for the several surrounding villages. The villagers who were willing to send their children to study at the school put aside their fieldwork and arrived early in the morning to register their children.
By now, a long queue had formed at the school’s registration desk.
The two newly hired teachers were too busy to handle everything, so they asked Mo Yan, who was literate, to help out.
"County Lord, this work should have been done by old Zeng and me, but we have troubled you instead. I am very grateful," said Master San, who took a moment to drink some water and quickly voiced his thanks to Mo Yan.
Mo Yan was busy registering children who were paying their school fees. Hearing Master San’s words, she took a moment to twist her sore wrist and said with a smile, "I am also very happy to exert some effort for the schoolhouse. Master San, you don’t have to be so formal! The village folks all call me ’Yan girl,’ so in the future, you can call me that too. It feels strange to be called County Lord."
"Haha, all right, I’ll call you ’Yan girl’ from now on." Master San was not a pedantic man and, seeing Mo Yan wasn’t just being polite, he agreed cheerfully.
