The unlucky guy was reborn as a lucky girl from a farm

His sister had hardly ever called him by his full name before, and when he heard such a serious tone, Niu Li couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and his usually fluent mouth began to stutter.

Although he wanted to go to school, he lied and said, "I... I don't want to go to school."

Nier sat up straight, "Niuli, raise your head and look at me."

Niu Li raised his head and stammered for a long time, "I...I..."

Nier interrupted Niu Li and said, "You actually wanted to go to school, but you lied because of money problems and said you didn't want to go, right?"

Without waiting for Niu Li to answer, he said, "I once saw you writing on the ground with a stone. Do you really not want to go to school?"

"I'll ask you again, do you want to go to school?"

Niu Li lowered his eyes, then suddenly opened them, staring at Ni'er with bright eyes, and said firmly, "I want to go to school."

After hearing Niu Li's answer, Ni'er breathed a sigh of relief. As long as her brother wanted to go to school, the money issue would be easy to deal with.

"Then let's go to the school in Lijia Village in the afternoon." Ni'er picked up the bowl and continued to clean out the rice in it.

Yan Zi was worried about the two children going alone, so she said, "I'll go with you."

The third brother thought that there should be no problem for the three of them to go, so he didn't say anything.

After lunch and cleaning up the dishes, the three of them went straight to Lijia Village, while Niu Laosan went to the fields to check on the growth of the seedlings.

The three of them entered Lijia Village, asked people about the location of the school, and then walked over.

Along the way, some people recognized Ni'er and Yan Zi, and many people greeted them, hoping to share in Ni'er's blessings.

When we arrived at the school gate, it was time for lunch break.

Seeing that the gatekeeper was dozing off, Nier pulled a piece of grass from the ground and swept it across the gatekeeper's chin.

Just as Yan Zi was about to stop him, the old man reached out and scratched her, and she woke up all of a sudden. Ni'er quickly threw the grass on the ground and pretended nothing had happened.

Looking at the three people in front of him, the old man felt that they looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them.

"What are you doing here?"

Yan Zi took the two children's hands and stepped forward, "Brother, my son Niu Li is five years old this year. I thought he should be able to start learning at this age, so I came here to ask."

When the gatekeeper heard the child's surname was Niu, he knew he was from the neighboring Niujia Village. Most of the people in this school were surnamed Li, and there were a few who were also from Niujia Village, and some from Liujia Village which was a little further away.

"Uncle, how much is the annual tuition here?" Ni'er wanted to confirm whether the information she got was correct.

The old man looked at Ni'er with a smile, thinking that this child was very smart. "The tuition here is one and a half taels of silver per year. What's your name?"

Nier thought the old man was very easygoing, so she smiled broadly in response, "My name is Niu Xiaoni."

The old man nodded in understanding. No wonder he felt familiar with her. It turned out to be that girl. Her deeds are still talked about by the people in Lijia Village.

The old man led the three people in and said, "Master Li is very strict in accepting students. He will ask some questions, and if the answers are not good, he will probably not accept you."

Nier wondered if the old man wanted to collect money, so she tried first, "Uncle, what questions do you ask?"

The old man shook his head. "They ask all kinds of questions, and they ask different questions every time. This morning, someone brought a child to ask, but Master Li didn't agree."

Hearing this, Nier understood that the old man was giving her a kind reminder.

Arriving in the house, Master Li looked at the three people and asked, "Which child are you going to teach?"

Nier answered directly: "Master, it is to open the door for my younger brother Niu Li."

Master Li also knew that it was not easy to support one person to study these days, and generally this opportunity would be given to the male children in the family. However, Master Li still asked, "You are the elder sister, and you should be the first to start learning. Why did you send your younger brother here?"

Ni'er thought this teacher was very interesting. He was asking a question even though he already knew the answer. How many girls could go to school? Only the rich and powerful could think of girls going to school.

Ni'er bowed and answered slowly, "Master Li, our family is not a wealthy one. The annual salary of one and a half taels of silver can only support one person. As everyone knows, only men can take the imperial examinations and pursue a career in government, so naturally they gave the opportunity to my brother."

Master Li nodded, but it was obvious that he was not satisfied with the answer. "Although women cannot take the imperial examination, it does not mean that they cannot study. It is always good to learn more knowledge."

Ni'er felt that this teacher was very much to her liking, not old-fashioned or pedantic, and it was very suitable for him to be the one to teach her younger brother.

At the same time, he felt that he should be more honest. "Master Li, I am actually learning medicine from a doctor, and I also know a few words. There is a school everywhere in the world."

Master Li instantly became interested, "Here is a pen and paper, come and write a few words for me to see."

Yan Zi and Niu Li were both very surprised that Ni'er could actually write. This was a great aspiration for farmers who had to work hard in the fields all their lives.

Nier picked up the pen and wrote the word "big" and the word "person" on the paper.

Observing Nier's pen-holding posture, the force with which she wrote, and the direction of her handwriting, I felt that this child was not lying. However, her handwriting was not very beautiful. However, it was not easy to write it at all.

"It's okay." Master Li glanced at it.

Nier chuckled in her heart, "This person's evaluation is very pertinent."

Master Li waved at Niu Li, "Come here, come here, can you write?"

Yan Zi pushed Niu Li from behind, and he took a few steps forward, "I can't write."

Master Li continued to ask: "Have you read any books?"

Niu Li shook his head.

Master Li had already guessed this and nodded expressionlessly.

Looking in Nell's direction, "Why don't you teach your brother?"

Nier felt that this teacher had too many questions, but she still patiently explained, "I myself only have a vague understanding of these things. I know the results but not the reasons. How can I teach others?"

"Children must learn systematically when they are learning for the first time. They cannot just learn one thing here and there. Learning in a coherent way and laying a solid foundation will be most beneficial for their subsequent studies."

Thinking that such a young child has such insights, her master must be no ordinary person. With a sister like this, this child should not be bad either.

A new enlightenment class will be opened in the fall, and he can be admitted.

"I agree to take Niu Li as my student. You know the price. Send it to me after the autumn harvest."

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. It seemed that the money could not be spent just because they wanted to.

Yan Zi took her two children to thank Master Li and prepared to leave. When she went out, she saw the old man she had just met.
