I brought some with me. This is my first time teaching, and thank you for giving me this opportunity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao An shook hands with Village Chief Pang, his smile bright and cheerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Village Chief Pang seemed somewhat flattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao An possessed an extraordinary air, an intangible nobility combined with an approachable demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure, sure, but I'm worried about the teacher working too hard. Teacher, would you like to rest for a while?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao An smiled and shook his head. \"No rush. Let's distribute the books first and get to know the students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then we can have a good chat. Once we've done everything, we can have a proper drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I brought some wine. Brother Pang said you like to drink; we'll definitely have a good drink then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then took out several bottles of wine and handed them over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh dear, no, no, teacher, how can we take your things?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Village Chief Pang genuinely seemed a little embarrassed, a very honest farmer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the village weren't so remote and poorly accessible by road, he wouldn't actually be qualified to be the village chief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's alright, you'll have to keep nagging me in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao An smiled. What is the martial arts world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The martial arts world is about interpersonal relationships, not fighting and killing, there's no such thing as domineering power, only shared interests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you can share common interests, then there's no problem that can't be solved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao An arrived at the school, which was just two rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaohe Village didn't have a large population, only about six hundred people, and the young people had all left to work and earn money elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only about three hundred people remained, scattered around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There weren't many children in the school, only about twenty, some older and some younger, who hadn't attended school for a long time and had all stopped after a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the teacher couldn't take it anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao An remained calm. He introduced himself to the students and distributed textbooks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come to class the day after tomorrow morning. Studying isn't for others, it's for yourselves. Studying can give you a better life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you don't study, you won't know how many convenient things there are.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's like farming. In many places, tractors are used for plowing. One person can plow more than ten acres in a morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How much could be plowed by hand?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You know better than I do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright, go back now. I'll bring you some extra reading materials later. Study hard, see you the day after tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words were few, simple, and concise. He said what needed to be said, and there was nothing more to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Children don't listen to grand theories; simple and easy to understand is better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From now on, you must listen to your teacher. If you don't, I'll tell your parents, understand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Village Chief Pang still held considerable authority. He had finally found a teacher, and he had to support him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, goodbye, teacher.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The children answered timidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao An waved his hand, then took out a cigarette and smoked it with Village Chief Pang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is good cigarette.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Village Chief Pang took a deep breath. He rarely had the chance to smoke good cigarettes; he only got a little when he went to meetings in town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You'll get some more often in the future. Even the hardest times will pass.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao An smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, right, I haven't arranged a place for you to stay yet, teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place isn't big enough for anyone. Let me think.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Village Chief Pang thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered something. \"That's right, you can stay at my sister's place. Come on, teacher, I'll take you there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's alright, my sister has another room available. Her son went out to work, leaving only her granddaughter and daughter-in-law at home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, at the Henghui Club, several family members had gathered together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard Zhao An went to teach in the mountains. What's he up to?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Yu took a deep drag on his cigarette. Things weren't going well lately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cooperation with foreign capital wasn't going smoothly, mainly because market profits weren't high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the effects of lending were already showing—a terrible reputation, though the profits were still decent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, who knows what he's up to? Damn it, real estate, finance, and stocks are all lucrative, but he didn't do those. Instead, he went into manufacturing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only makes a few hundred thousand a year, not even enough to fill a gap in his teeth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xiao's tone was very displeased. Perhaps it was because his mother was pregnant, which would create another competitor for them, hence his annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their father was still young, and now he also had to deal with his uncle's challenge. Maintaining his position as head of the family was already a struggle; he had no time to deal with anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or, how about we go into manufacturing too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever he does, we'll do it. Who cares what it is? Let's just do it first! That kid never loses money!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Shunli's eyes were shrouded in smoke. Foreign trade had been tough lately; factories overseas were experiencing riots, and material prices were rising—it was difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can't do it. He has a complete industrial system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he can't sell it all, he can recycle it himself. We can't handle that much on our own.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Yu shook his head. His grandfather's sudden death was a major event in the Huang family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made him uneasy, as if he had a bad premonition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, forget it, let's not talk about him. If that beast isn't making money, are we not making money either?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe he's just trying to lure us into manufacturing, and once we're distracted, he'll come back and devour us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo also said viciously. He had overheard his younger sister boasting to the women in the family, and he didn't know if it was just bragging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lin family was also very unhappy with Lin Yuanyuan. A young lady from a respectable family becoming someone's mistress?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And to make matters worse, it was their future son-in-law who lost the deal. They had no leverage and could only grit their teeth and acquiesce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Lin Yuanyuan was already pregnant with her second child! Damn, she's incredibly fertile!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scheming between large families…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao An was fully aware of it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't have time to engage in their intrigues. He could simply throw out some smokescreens, letting them continue to step on landmines, and one day he'd blow them to smithereens!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the money for a farmhouse, Village Chief Pang spoke to an older farmer's wife, who considered it for a moment and then agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao An took out five hundred yuan and placed it in the woman's hand. \"Auntie, this money is for my food expenses. Please don't refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is one thing at a time. If you feel bad about it, just cook me some better dishes in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1188,"2026-06-08T09:55:01.067Z",1,"novelbin.me","28d458f76cc2406d3311b3627e32dc61c792fe398c9e92d11d15aad0aee84e67","rebirth-encyclopedia-system-chapter-1247","rebirth-encyclopedia-system-chapter-1245",1390,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frebirth-encyclopedia-system-cover.jpg"]
