"Aunt, uncle, this is Mr. Jiang, a scholar in the first class. Because the capital was moved too suddenly, his clan members were separated. He has been living in the north of the city. He makes a living by writing letters and teaching children in the north of the city to read.
"We I met him by chance and liked Mr. Jiang's erudition and open-mindedness very much. It just so happened that our village was looking for an enlightenment teacher for the children, so I recommended him to give it a try. "
Students are all good-looking. The old lady and Li Laoer were a little worried when they heard Mr. Wen talking so carelessly about Mr. Jiang's difficulty in surviving.
But Mr. Jiang still smiled gently. Perhaps he saw their embarrassment and comforted them a little. He said, "Don't worry, madam and uncle. Although Brother Wen and I have not known each other for a long time, we are still close friends and we are close friends."
"Brother Wen also helped me a lot, and I happily accepted it. After all, life is long, and now that I have accepted Brother Wen's help, there will always be a time when I can repay Brother Wen in the future."
The old lady and Li Laoer both laughed along with them . stand up.
Mr. Jiang is really open-minded, not stuck in small details, and seems to be very understanding of the world. If such a person comes to teach in the village, even if his knowledge is poor, the children he teaches will be good.
Li Laoer immediately asked: "Mr. Jiang, when can you come to the village to teach?"
"Any time!" Mr. Jiang responded simply, "Uncle, I don't know, I have been salivating over Broken Gold Beach for a long time. , I want to go to the valley to soak in the hot springs, but I am short of money. I can't wait to move here right away and go to the valley to take a look!"
Everyone laughed at the words, even Jiayin thought this person had an average appearance and a body. The scholar, who is not very handsome in appearance, is very pleasing to the eye because of his humor and open-mindedness.
Li Laoer thought for a while and said, "Sir, you can move whenever you want. Come and rest for three days before starting classes. There is a vacant room over there in the school, complete with tables, chairs and bookshelves. We also have new bedding at home.
" Monthly payment, five taels of silver a month, two sets of clothes and shoes for each season. But let's start with the dirty talk. If the teacher fails to teach, our village can fire the teacher at any time. "
Of course, I'm here to teach. If I don't succeed in teaching, I won't have the shame to stay here without my uncle telling me." Mr. Jiang stood up, saluted, and responded seriously.
But he hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Uncle, can I bring a little book boy with me?" There is a homeless boy in the north of the city who often studies with me. His parents are both dead. He is very pitiful. I want to bring him as a companion. "
Before Li Lao Er could say anything, Mrs. Li had already nodded, "Of course, sir, someone should take care of him. Besides, for a child who is hardworking and studious, our village is not short of food. Mr.
Jiang smiled and gave Mrs. Li a great gift sincerely, "I think I should be most grateful to Brother Wen in this life. He introduced me to a good place like Broken Gold Beach."
Everyone laughed, and Mr. Wen pulled Mr. Jiang to sit down and said, "I saw you standing up for the street children in the north of the city that day. I felt that you were a sincere person. " It happens that the same is true for the folks like Suijintan, so I hope you will settle down here in the future. In this way, every time I come over, I not only have family but also friends to talk to. "
When Mrs. Li heard them talk about the north of the city, her heart moved, and she asked: "Mr. Jiang lives in the north of the city. I have heard of a family. The owner is also a scholar, surnamed Sun, and it is said that he runs a school. Mr.
Jiang was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "If the Mr. Sun the old lady mentioned is about forty years old, he looks like the one who lives near me."
"Does the old lady know what Mr. Sun's name is? Do you want me to stay in the north of the city for a few more days to help the old lady find out?"
Mrs. Li quickly waved her hand, "I don't know the name of this Mr. Sun either. Wait until I ask. After I understand, I'll trouble you sir."
"Well, I'll move here first, don't delay the children's studies. I've lived in the north of the city for more than a year and I'm very familiar with it. It won't be difficult to go back and ask if I have anything."
Mr. Jiang said cheerfully, But Mr. Wen exposed his thoughts and said, "You are not in a hurry to teach. You are just in a hurry to enjoy the scenery and soak in the hot springs!"
"Oh, Brother Wen, if you don't tell the truth, we are still brothers!" Mr. Jiang said, pulling up his sleeves to cover his face. .
His pretended shyness made everyone laugh again.
Jiayin really liked this gentleman more and more, and she was tempted to go to school, but she gave up decisively because she wanted to get up early.
Winter is coming soon, and nothing is more important than a warm bed!
After chatting for a few more times, Mr. Wen took Mr. Jiang back to move.
Mrs. Li carried her granddaughter on her back and took Grandma He and Shuiyun Shuiyue with her, wanting to visit the school.
The gown Mr. Jiang wore just now was patched, which shows that he lived a very poor life. Therefore, it is best for the family to provide more help for food, drink, clothing and clothing.
As a result, as soon as they went out, Sister-in-law Li came over with her daughter in her arms.
When she heard that the old lady was going to school, she wanted to go and help. After all, the food and accommodation were now at Li's house. She couldn't stay idle all the time and always wanted to help with some work.
The old lady couldn't refuse, so Grandma He stepped forward and hugged Jiayin, and said with a smile: "Old lady, it's time for the young lady to learn the rules. I will carry her back to the yard first."
"Okay." Old lady Li nodded quickly, Jiayin He waved to grandma and entered the Marquis's yard.
Sister-in-law Li asked curiously: "Auntie, is the yard next door also ours?"
Mrs. Li was afraid that Sister-in-law Li would send her daughter there, so she hurriedly moved out of Mr. Hou's house, "No, that is Mr. Hou's yard, Fu Niu'er She is the adopted daughter of the Marquis, and she is learning the rules there."
Sure enough, Sister-in-law Li shut up immediately, with a look of awe.
There is no shortage of money in the village, and they were not stingy when building the school. The room for studying, the kitchen for cooking, and the place where the husband lives are all very spacious.
Now it's just a matter of cleaning, changing things, and ventilating the room.
There wasn't much work to do, so everyone went back quickly.
Two carriages stopped in front of Li's house. It turned out that Li Zhensheng was back.
The carriages were moving down one after another, and even the wind carried a faint smell of the sea.
An Jiaxi and his cat brother happened to see it on the mountain and ran back to join in the fun.
Li Zhensheng greeted them with a smile, "The family's fleet has arrived. Come and help! Didn't you ask for more shells last time? This time, not to mention shells, even sea sand has been shipped to you!"
A few boys They all cheered happily, shouting loudly, "Uncle (dad) is so nice!"
When Jiayin heard the movement, she was also hugged by Aunt He.
Soon, white fine sand fell into a huge pile in the corner of the yard.
Jiayi held a box of shells and buried them in the sand to let his brothers experience the joy of picking up shells.
The shells are all washed, colorful and different in size. They are buried in the fine sand and are picked out one after another. They are very beautiful.
Several boys called to their sister, "Fu Niuer, come and dig for treasures together!"
Jiayin ran over with a smile, and clawed open her two chubby hands like cat's claws.
Nannan looked anxious and struggled to get over.
Sister-in-law Li let go without taking it seriously.
Grandma He and Mrs. Li tried to stop her, but the little girl had already started playing.
Grandma He glanced at Fu Niu'er, who was surrounded by her brothers, and her daughter who was far away, and said to Old Mrs. Li, "Don't worry, old lady, I'll take care of you here."
It happened that Li Zhensheng might have something to do . , called mother in the house, and Old Mrs. Li went into the house.
Nanny He rolled up her sleeves, looking for an oil-paper umbrella to shield her little master from the sun.
At this moment, something unexpected happened...
