Seeing Qin Yao merely smiling and not speaking, Zhen Yubai couldn't gauge her intentions and tentatively asked:
"What does the village chief think about starting classes later this month?"
"It's getting colder, starting classes now may make the children sick from the cold. We'll need to prepare more charcoal for heating."
"I've been walking around the village these days, and each household's situation is better than I thought. It shouldn't be an issue for each family to provide some charcoal for the children to use at school, but it's best if the village chief brings it up."
Qin Yao could tell Zhen Yubai had thought it over seriously before coming to find her.
The charcoal issue was no problem; Qin Yao nodded with a smile, "The teacher's considerate, don't worry about the charcoal, the families will not be stingy for the children's schooling."
