章 51: Chapter 44, Annual Ritual_1

The refugee issue was successfully resolved, and the students and masters at the county school received countless thanks.

Because of this experience, some changes occurred at the county school.

For instance, some students who usually lacked interest in studying unexpectedly took the initiative to pick up their books.

When asked why, some said they needed to study hard so that in the future they could become officials who would benefit the people and prevent the emergence of refugees under their governance;

No matter the reason, such changes were a delight to the encouraging Zhu Chengyu.

Since the donation initiative had been launched by Yan Wenxiu, in the days that followed, Zhu Chengyu always showed him particularly warm and pleasant expressions whenever they met.
