The long cold season passes quickly in the busyness of everyone.
After teaching for more than half a month, Lin Yan suddenly wanted to go out and see the progress of the villagers' learning.
Arriving at the nearest house, this was the place chosen by more than a dozen nearby families for classes.
Jiang Li is the teacher here.
When Lin Yan walked into the house, she was surrounded by people writing something on the board.
With a sweep of his mental energy, he saw a list of people's names written on the wooden board. He immediately understood that this was for the villagers to learn their names.
A little girl stood in front of the wooden board, pointed to the words on it, and said in a sweet voice: "Jiang Huanxi, this is my name. From now on, you want to call me Jiang Huanxi, not Yaya."
The woman in tattered clothes smiled and said, "Okay, Yaya has changed her name to Jiang Huanxi. From now on our family name is Jiang, my mother is Jiang Hong, my father is Jiang He, my brother is Jiang An, and my sister is Jiang Huanxi." Have you remembered Yaya?"
"Remember." The little girl said with a bright smile, and suddenly realized something was wrong, "Aniang, you called me wrong again, my name is Huanxi."
"Okay, okay, it's joy, our little joy, remember it, and you won't call it wrong in the future."
The people around burst into laughter.
Lin Yan looked at them for a moment and found that most of them were children, with relatively few adults.
After Jiang Li finished teaching another female doll, she looked up and saw Lin Yan, and was startled, "When did you come?"
The people around looked around and realized that someone else had appeared at some point.
Lin Yan smiled and said, "I've been here for a while to see you teach the children how to read. Have you finished teaching Pinyin?"
"Yes, these dolls learn very quickly. We just finished teaching Pinyin yesterday and asked them to phoneticize their names."
"Very good, put what you have learned to use. You continue, I just want to take a look." After Lin Yan finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"Did you create words?" A dark and thin boy squeezed next to Lin Yan and looked up at her with glowing eyes.
Jiang Li smiled and said: "This is Rong Zhi, I told them about you."
Rong Zhi raised his head and stared at Lin Yan, determined to get an answer.
Lin Yan shook his head, "These words are the hard work of countless people. I just use them. I want more people to learn from them."
Rong Zhi: "That's you. I can read those words once, can you teach me more words?"
Facing his innocent and longing eyes, Lin Yan couldn't bear to refuse for a moment. The thirst for knowledge shouldn't be so difficult.
She said: "You really know how to read it once?"
Rong Zhi nodded, "I have learned everything the teacher taught me. I feel that the words taught every day are too few, and I am thinking of going to another teacher to learn more."
Lin Yan looked at Jiang Li with questioning eyes.
Jiang Li nodded, "What he said is true. From the first day, he can quickly master everything he has been taught and is very smart."
"I can do it too." A voice sounded from the crowd, and Lin Yan looked over. It was a girl, about seven or eight years old.
Jiang Li said: "That's Rongle. He and Rongzhi are twin siblings. They are both smart and studious, a rare baby."
Although Jiang Li is literate and can be a temporary teacher, she knows that she has too little money. If she wants to teach children like Rongle and Rongzhi, she will probably be out of pocket in less than a month.
The Sun League also has smart kids, but not many like Rong Le Rong Zhi.
Lin Yan rolled his eyes and immediately began to cherish his talents, "You two, brother and sister, will come to my courtyard tomorrow."
They will leave after spending the cold season in Mang Village. If they want more people to learn the alliance's script and language, they can only seize the limited time to cultivate a few smart ones.
People like Rongle and Rongzhi are the best choices. With their photographic memory, they can learn a lot in three months.
After Lin Yan finished speaking, he hurriedly ran away before others could react, making an exception to take in Rongle and Rong Zhi. The remaining people might have something in mind.
Jiang Li smiled and said, "Lin Yan has a lot to do, and it's rare to come here for a spin. Okay, let's continue with class."
At the end of the day's class, Jiang Li did not go back, but came to the home of the Rongle siblings.
The two children who were recognized by Lin Yan were extremely lucky, so she specially came to give them a few words.
Rongle's family of seven lives in a newly renovated wooden house. Compared to previous cold seasons, the house is much warmer this year.
It was dinner time, and the family sat around the brazier, holding brown rice porridge. It was real porridge, with only a few rice grains at the bottom of the bowl.
The rice was not processed cleanly after harvesting, and the soup was still mixed with chaff.
Jiang Li just took one look at it and felt that if she wasn't forced to do anything, who would be willing to eat such a meal.
But looking at the expressions of the Rong family, they were very satisfied to have such a dinner.
The grandpa and grandma of the Rong family are obviously old. The hardships of life have already crushed their bodies, but they are still struggling to survive.
The father and mother-in-law of the Rong family are also weathered, and their bodies have been bent by the heavy life at the age of less than thirty.
Rongle and Rongzhi also have a little brother who has just learned to walk.
Jiang Li's arrival broke the peace of the family, and they got up hurriedly to greet the distinguished guests.
The whole family has listened to Jiang Li's class and respects her very much. I never expected that she would come to the door in person.
Like a little adult, Rong Zhi took the initiative to greet him: "Teacher, sit down quickly and I will bring you a bowl of porridge."
"No, no, I'll just say a few words and leave." Jiang Li hurriedly refused, "Lin Yan made a promise to you siblings today. Remember to go there early tomorrow morning."
The mother-in-law of the Rong family hurriedly asked: "Where are you going?"
"Go to the courtyard where we live in the village." Jiang Li looked at the parents of the Rong family. "Rong Le and Rong Zhi are very smart and can learn everything quickly. I can only teach them so much. I happened to meet Lin Yan today and promised to teach them. Brothers and sisters, this is a rare opportunity.”
"Who is Lin Yan?" Auntie of the Rong family asked hesitantly. In her opinion, Jiang Li is the best person.
She often works at home and doesn't pay much attention to the family outside. She doesn't know who Lin Yan is.
Jiang Li hurriedly said: "Lin Yan is the smartest among us. She teaches her personally, which many people can't ask for. Rongle and Rongzhi are very lucky. They must seize the opportunity. You guys can eat, I Let’s go back first.”
Before leaving, Jiang Li glanced at Rong Zhi with some hint.
Rong Zhiren nodded. He knew that the teacher wanted their siblings to go, and they could not be delayed for anything.
After they left, the four adults of the Rong family gathered around the Rongle sister and brother to get to the bottom of things. They haven't figured out the situation yet.
Rongle said with a smile: "My brother and I are smart and lucky, so we can go to the village courtyard to learn more things."
"Better than Teacher Jiang?" The mother-in-law of the Rong family was a little worried.
"Auntie, there are many people living in that courtyard, and they are all very capable. We will definitely learn more when we go there." Rong Zhi took a sip of soup, "It's not that Teacher Jiang is not good, Teacher Jiang wants to teach people There are too many. When we go to that courtyard, there are people who teach us specifically, and we can learn more words in one day."
Under the persuasion of the two siblings, the parents of the Rong family agreed to change their place.
