Making money, taking exams and supporting the family

chapter 62: Private School and Residence

Although there were many things to do, once you organized them, it was actually not too bad.

Zhang Xiu was a very careful person. Many trivial matters did not need to be mentioned to Lin Ze; he handled them well on his own. This made Lin Ze proud of his wife, not only because he was good-looking but also because he was a capable helper.

When it came to manual work, rural folks were the most skilled. The method of making sugar from sugar beets was actually not difficult; the key was to master the cooking temperature and the strength of squeezing the juice. Lin Ze taught He Xiangfeng’s mothers twice, and they and Zhang Liumei were able to figure it out themselves.

So, the most complicated thing was the plan for the private school.

But in fact, it was not difficult. Lin Ze basically copied the entire system of the modern private school, just making minor changes in certain areas where there were conflicts in the era’s society. After all, various systems from thousands of years ago were already quite perfect, so there was no need to innovate further.

What Lin Ze mainly did was the “teaching plan.” His private school was essentially a “quick-learning class” for children, so his teaching was very different from other private schools. He must use the advantages of his knowledge of education and learning methods to formulate a suitable teaching plan.

In addition, he also needed to look at the layout of the courtyard that Li Guangcai provided to make plans.

Therefore, nearing the early stages of the banquet, while preparing for the procurement of items, Lin Ze simply took Zhang Xiu to visit the courtyard to prepare for the renovation plan, mainly because there were some significant differences between the modern private schools and ancient private schools.

Lin Ze chose this time for a reason—it was the day Lin Jianwen and Zhang Yinzhu were getting married.

Firstly, to avoid suspicion, so that when Zhang Yinzhu passed by his house, the villagers would not see anything that would cause them to gossip about the Lin family. According to the customs, when a girl from the same village gets married, she must walk around the village three times.

Secondly, it was to seek peace and quiet. Traditional weddings were often noisy affairs, and since Heba Village was so small, if the Lin family were celebrating a wedding, it would naturally be noisy here too. It was better to go out for a stroll.

Now, based on his relationship with Lin Jianwen and his mother, if he did not attend the wedding, no one would say anything.

So, that morning, Lin Ze and his wife left home early with a cart.

When Zhang Yinzhu’s wedding procession circled around the village and reached Lin Ze’s house, Yang Guifang, who had intended to show her dissatisfaction towards Lin Ze, found that the Lin family’s gate was tightly locked, indicating that they were not at home. She felt quite frustrated.

Still holding onto hope, Yang Guifang still believed that Lin Ze had feelings for her daughter, but he had lost interest after being strung along for so long.

The thing she had been thinking about all this time was something Lin Ze did not care about at all, which was really a big blow to her!

On the other hand, Lin Ze was in a great mood when he arrived in town, happily taking Zhang Xiu to go shopping first.

During this period, there were too many things to do at home, and both of them were busy running around. This bit of leisure time was really rare.

Most of the items for the banquet were ready, and now they just needed the red wedding attire that Lin Ze wanted. He had already arranged this with Li Guangcai and had a set custom-made at Li’s cloth shop. They could pick it up today, but there was no rush.
