A young man from another world returned to his hometown.

Chapter 68 The Workers' Troubles, Killing Two Birds with One Stone

She smiled apologetically and offered her apologies.

"I'm sorry, I... I wasn't watching..."

Lin Yan waved his hand.

"It's okay, be careful."

He watched as the woman, ashamed, scolded her son while pulling the child aside.

"My elderly relative isn't in good health and can't take care of him, and my husband went to work at the dried fruit tree farm, so there's no one at home to look after the child... I had no choice but to bring him over. I was busy for a bit, and he ran out. Mr. Lin, please don't fire me! I promise I'll take good care of him from now on..."

Lin Yan sighed.

"...I didn't say I was going to fire you. You should take care of the children first."

The woman quickly bowed and scraped, pulled her son to the shade of a tree, handed him her phone, and told him to sit still.

Rural families have many children. Although many people have returned, taking care of children is still a problem. The elderly cannot take care of the children who have not yet been sent to school, and the parents have to work. The children either run around wildly in the village or go to construction sites with their parents.

Lin Yan frowned. This situation was quite common. He walked back while thinking about it.

Behind the middle school was a large area of ​​undulating hills. This land belonged to Tiancun. Lin Yan stood at the edge of the open space, feeling as if he was trying to grasp something. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him.

If... he could directly set up a factory-run primary school and kindergarten in the village.

Gathering these children in one place would not only completely eliminate the workers' worries, but also...

!

He could easily send Nia to school, and wouldn't that mean he and Syl could have some alone time during that period?!

Lin Yan became more and more excited as he thought about it. He could even hire the best teachers and fill the schedule with lessons so that the pink-haired little devil would be too tired to be naughty every day. He raised his arm and waved his hand.

"Perfect!"

The old man who was passing by was startled by him.

"Hey Mr. Lin, are you alright?"

"It's alright, it's alright!"

Lin Yan's eyebrows danced with excitement.

"Uncle, is your child usually naughty?"

Uncle Er sighed, slapped his thigh, and became more and more excited as he spoke.

"That little rascal is as mischievous as a monkey! My old arms and legs... just the other day he stuffed the washing machine into the washing chicken, and the washing chicken kept squeaking and squeaking."

"..."

Lin Yan suppressed a laugh.

"Uncle, if the village were to set up a primary school and kindergarten, with free tuition for the workers, would you be willing to send them over?"

"What?!"

Second Uncle's eyes widened, and he grabbed Lin Yan's hand.

"Free tuition? Oh my, of course everyone's scrambling to get in!"

Lin Yan took out his phone and dialed a number. On the other end of the line, Lin Jiayao was still at work, and he was a little dazed from working overtime.

"Feed? Ayan?"

"Brother! I've decided! We're going to build an elementary school and a kindergarten in Tamura!"

"what?"

Lin Jiayao instantly regained his senses.

"Build a primary school and kindergarten? That's a big deal! What made you suddenly think of that?"

"So that the workers can go to work with peace of mind! There should be a place to take care of their children."

Lin Yan spoke with great passion and enthusiasm.

"Brother! This can't be delayed any longer! Tomorrow, no, today, let's get started on preparations!"

Lin Jiayao was silent for a few seconds on the other end of the phone.

"I understand... Ah Yan, your vision and magnanimity... I'm impressed, don't worry, little brother!"

Lin Jiayao clenched his fist, feeling as if he had been given a shot of adrenaline, and he no longer felt tired from working overtime.

"I'll work on the plan right here tonight! I'll go find Section Chief Ma! And then I'll go find Old Wei! Our Tian Village is going to have its own primary school and kindergarten!"

……

After finishing the site planning for the technical school construction, Wei Changfeng handed over the construction to a professional construction company and returned to the university.

He currently holds positions at both universities. His contract with the university hasn't ended yet, and he sometimes goes to teach classes on his own initiative. When he's not teaching, he spends his time in the office writing training plans and faculty development schemes for the future vocational school.

"Therefore, according to the township's planning, agricultural planting techniques should also be cultivated..."

In his office, Wei Changfeng was writing and drawing while muttering to himself.

"Ring ring ring".

The landline on the table rang.

"Feed? Old Wei!"

On the other end of the phone was Lin Jiayao, whose voice carried that familiar energy.

"Old Wei, I have something to report to you. My son, Ayan, has made another move!"

Wei Changfeng adjusted his glasses.

"Oh? What big thing is this kid planning now?"

"Build a primary school and a kindergarten! Factory-run! To solve the childcare and schooling problems for our workers' children!"

"hiss……"

Wei Changfeng sighed.

"That's a good thing! This is truly doing something practical, providing rural children with a better early learning environment. But who will take the lead in this...?"

He then changed the subject.

"...A person's energy is limited."

He was already working late into the night on both fronts, how could he possibly take on the responsibility of running an elementary school at the same time? Wei Changfeng buried his face in his hands and let out a sigh of weariness.

Lin Jiayao scratched his head.

"Well... do you have someone in mind, Mr. Wei?"

Wei Changfeng squinted and tapped his fingers on the table a few times. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"...There really is one."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Changfeng took out a photo album from the drawer. It contained graduation photos of his students over the years. In the last photo, to his right, stood a girl wearing gold-rimmed glasses and an academic gown.

Wei Changfeng looked at the photo and let out a long sigh.

"Nine chapters..."

……

Inside the courtyard, the curtains were drawn, and it was pitch black except for the monitor that emitted a faint blue light, covered with formulas and text.

A young woman with her hair casually tied up is slumped in an ergonomic chair.

Mu Jiuzhang has been staying at home for almost a month now.

She casually opened WeChat to check out her Moments.

The first thing I saw was a chat log showing that I had been kicked out of the work group.

"...Let's adjust the data a little more. It's okay if it's just a little off; it won't affect the overall direction. We'll report back next week. Thanks for your hard work."

"Good leader."

"You've worked hard, boss."

"clear."

Mu Jiuzhang looked at the lines of replies and revealed a mocking smile.

"Heh~"

Everyone in the research institute knows that Mu Jiuzhang is an upright and incorruptible man who cannot tolerate even the slightest injustice.

Data is data, and deviation is deviation. Why should she manipulate it just to make a better-looking report?

impossible!

As a result, she got sick, so she simply stayed at home and worked on her topology project.

Her phone rang, and she answered it in a languid voice.

"Hello, teacher."

"Nine chapters."

Wei Changfeng's voice came through the receiver.

"Still engrossed in working on that idea of ​​yours?"

"Um."

"Staying at home all the time without moving an inch, how can you possibly understand anything? You're ruining your health."

Wei Changfeng sighed.

"Why don't you come here to relax with the teacher?"

Mu Jiuzhang was taken aback.

"Teacher...aren't you being rehired?"

"I'm currently in the countryside, so I guess I'm here to help out my teacher."

Wei Changfeng said slowly.
