The unlucky guy was reborn as a lucky girl from a farm
Chapter 168 Teaching
The family will fall apart without a backbone. I can’t imagine what kind of hard life I will have to endure in the future even if I become rich.
Ni'er went to the mountain in the afternoon and didn't see the group of little kids from yesterday. There was only Jinshui and herself until Jinshui left.
There were a few jumping figures in the distance, walking towards this side.
When the children saw Ni'er sitting here with her eyes closed like yesterday, they didn't dare to disturb her and walked to a farther place obediently to dig up wild vegetables.
Nier heard a faint noise and opened her eyes. In the distance, she saw a few short figures squatting on the ground, talking in low voices while working and looking over here from time to time.
Unexpectedly, these people were so trustworthy. I stood up and walked towards them.
One of the children saw Ni'er coming over and quickly stopped what he was doing. He patted the dirt off his hands, and was a little nervous, not knowing what to say.
The other one saw him stand up and was a little confused, "Why don't you dig anymore?"
Following the line of sight, they saw Ni'er and everyone stood up.
"Didn't you say you don't need to come today?"
"We...we are afraid of bad luck."
I didn't expect that they still remembered a sentence I said casually. It turns out that in their hearts, whatever I say really becomes what I want. It would be great if it were true.
"I'm asking you a question. You must answer it honestly. As long as you follow your heart, my previous words that you will be unlucky will no longer count."
Several children stared at her, thinking that what Ni'er said this time was very credible.
"Would you like to learn to write?"
The children were a little at a loss, as those were things that only rich people could learn. Their family could barely afford to eat, so why were they learning those things? However, they were willing to do so.
It's a face-saving thing to know a few words and speak them out, but there are not many people in the village who can recognize words.
But the tuition is very expensive. I heard that it would cost several taels of silver a year. Where can I get the money? At first, my eyes lit up when I heard about learning to write, but then they gradually dimmed when I thought about not being able to pay.
Others observed Nier's expression, thinking about how to answer to satisfy her, not knowing what her purpose was.
At a glance, the child can't hide his thoughts, and it shows on his face.
"I can tell if your answer is sincere or not. Don't try to lie to me. Just follow your heart."
A little kid clutched the corner of his clothes and said, "I do want to, but I just don't have the money."
Another child couldn't help but said, "No, it's so boring to sit there every day, listening to the storytellers in town talk about chivalrous men traveling around the world. I envy them so much. I want to wield swords and sticks."
Nier smiled and said, "Both of you gave very good answers. What I said just now counts."
"What about the rest?"
"I would, if I had the money."
"I would like that too."
"I do not want to."
Seeing everyone speak out their thoughts, I was very satisfied. "Those who are willing can stay, and those who are not willing can leave. If anyone wants to learn to read, they can come to me."
After saying that, one child turned and ran away, while a few others said they didn't want to but were hesitant, "If my brothers and sisters at home are willing, can we let them come over?"
Nier nodded, and the children ran away.
There are about five or six people left now. You look at me and I look at you, wondering if you can recognize the words, with eyes full of expectation.
"I can write, I can teach you. Those private schools out there all charge money, so I won't teach you for free here."
Before Nier could finish, she was interrupted by an anxious child, "What do you want?"
The corners of his mouth curled up, so impatient, I wonder if he will be a good seedling, "Just dig wild vegetables every day and collect enough. I will decide what to learn."
Nier thought that it would be a good opportunity to see if there were any people with good qualifications and character, who might be able to help with the family's tofu business in the future.
"Digging wild vegetables, I have no problem with that."
"That's fine with me. I dug quickly and well."
"What if it's winter? We won't be able to learn then."
"Are you stupid? The school is closed in the winter."
"Oh, yes."
They were given a set amount of wild vegetables to dig, and the crowd immediately scattered. Some had already dug them and brought them to Ni'er, while others were still digging hard.
I didn't let them dig a lot, just enough so as not to hurt their hands.
If you look closely at the wild vegetables that were brought over, you can reveal each person's personality. This one looks like it was pulled out forcibly, and he's so strong at such a young age. This one was twisted off, and he's a bit impatient. This one is not bad, the roots are intact, and the leaves are not damaged either, and he's a careful person.
However, I didn't meet Jinshui today, so I planned to hide the fact that I could read from her. Otherwise, if grandma found out, who knows what unexpected things would happen.
Calculate the time when Jin Shuishi leaves and agree with the children on when to start the next class.
There won't be any problem this way, after all, they are from neighboring villages, and I was also advised not to tell my parents for the time being.
He took out a relatively complete wild vegetable and indicated that it should be dug according to this standard in the future.
Several children nodded, and some blushed in embarrassment as they thought about using the tattered wild vegetables they dug as tuition.
"We learn some strokes, which are the basics of writing."
"How do I know if you are teaching me correctly? What if I am teaching you wrong?"
After all, he is not a master and has no fame. These people don’t know that their master is Zhao Jincheng, so the question is indeed difficult to answer.
One of them rushed to say, "She was able to come back to life, how could she not know this?"
It turns out the problem is so easy to solve that no one questioned it anymore.
I taught them a few strokes and practiced them many times. The sun was about to set, so I asked them to go back first and I had to come back quickly too. After all, there were still wild beasts on the mountain and it would be unsafe after dark.
Niu Li was a little worried when he saw that his sister was later than usual, so he thought of going out to greet her, and he met her halfway.
"Why is it so late today? The sun is almost setting."
Ni'er didn't think her brother would be able to come out. "I met a few kids in the mountains who are about your age. I taught them calligraphy. You can teach them in the future. They exchanged wild vegetables with me."
Niu Li thought his sister was really amazing. Not only could she get more wild vegetables, but others could also learn knowledge. Ordinary farmers would never have access to those things. Every family knew that going to school was good, but who could afford it?
It's really kind-hearted to exchange it for just a few wild vegetables.
"I support you."
It would be great if everyone could recognize words, so they could teach them to the next generation and be able to read account books and understand things. In short, it would be more convenient for many things. Maybe in the future they wouldn't have to work so hard doing such heavy work. My sister is simply a living Bodhisattva, and I instantly had more respect for her.
