"Master Jiang, there is a person outside the door asking to see you, saying that he wants to send his child to our private school."
Due to the monthly holiday, Master Jiang spent the past two days very leisurely. At the moment, he was sipping tea in the yard, looking leisurely and comfortable.
The weather is getting warmer, the temperature is rising, and the sun is shining warmly on people. He is leaning on the rocking chair with his eyes closed, enjoying the comfortable time.
Hearing the sound, Master Jiang opened his squinted eyes and looked at the person.
The child in front of me is called Shitou. He is ten years old this year. He is studious and smart, but his life experience is a bit pitiful. His father was a frontier soldier and died in a battle with the Huns. The news just came that his mother took away the family's money and threw it away. He remarried later, and now there is only one grandmother in the family, and his life is very poor.
Shitou had been studying in a private school before. After his father died, he lost his source of income, and his mother took away all the family money. In this situation, he should have been advised to quit. After all, he was running a private school, not a private school. Shantang.
However, he was still a little soft-hearted. Seeing that he knelt outside the private school for three full days and showed his tenacity to learn, he finally softened his heart and exempted him from tuition and fees and taught him with all his heart.
He also knew that it was not easy for him to study, so he was extremely serious in his studies. While studying with concentration, he also tried his best to help the school and him with what he could.
From time to time, he would pick up a load of firewood for his family. He was a grateful person, but he and his wife also knew that it was not easy for him, so they took care of their children's lunch every day.
In fact, this matter is just a piece of cake for the couple. There is a boarding student in the private school, and they have to prepare meals. The extra person is just an extra handful of brown rice and an extra ladle of water.
Although Shi Shitou is young, he has become sensible. Since then, in addition to studying, he has also helped in private schools. He will also take the initiative to come to their house to help with work during his monthly vacation. He has told him many times and asked him not to be so nervous, but don't look at it. The child is young, and he gives himself a headache when he is stubborn.
If he didn't let him work, he wouldn't eat the lunch meal even if he drank water to satisfy his hunger, so he had to compromise. It wouldn't be nice to see him studying hungry.
No, it's already the monthly holiday, and the other children have gone home, but this stupid kid is still the same as when he was in school, coming here every day.
Hearing someone knocking on the door, he put down the broom and went out. After Li Xi told him their purpose, he hurried back to the backyard to inform Master Jiang.
"At this time?" Master Jiang frowned slightly. More than half a month has passed since the enrollment. "Come at this time? Forget it, let's go and take a look."
Muttering, Master Jiang pressed the armrest of the rocking chair and struggled to get up from the rocking chair. Seeing this, Shi Shi helped him quickly.
Master Jiang felt his disciple's filial piety and patted Shitou's head with satisfaction, "Let's go and have a look with our master."
Shitou glanced at the broom in the corner. He hadn't finished sweeping the floor yet. Just as he was about to refuse, he heard Master Jiang say, "Okay, just do whatever the teacher asks you to do."
You don’t need to sweep this place, and little children don’t have to do so much work. "
Shitou knew that Master was taking care of him, and he was moved and did not refuse.
Master Jiang glanced at the disciple who was following him obediently, and was satisfied. Isn't this right? Students should listen to Master's words.
Master Jiang straightened his clothes, shook his sleeves, and walked to the front yard with his hands behind his back.
Although Master Jiang's house is divided into front and back yards, it is actually not big. He reached the moon cave door connecting the front yard and the back yard in a few steps.
Walking to the front yard, Li Xi saw three people standing in the middle of the yard at a glance, a tall and handsome man, an exquisite girl, and a tiger-headed child. Judging from the appearance of these three people, they were nothing. People from well-to-do families.
But except for the child, the other two people had a special temperament that he couldn't put into words.
Moreover, apart from the child, the other two are a bit too young to look like the child's parents.
"Who are the three of you?" Master Jiang stepped forward and said to Gu Jingzhi politely. This man didn't look simple.
Li Xi glanced at Gu Yin who was silent, took a step forward, and said with a smile, "This is Master Jiang, I've admired his name for a long time. I'm sorry for disturbing you today. I'm rude."
Master Jiang waved his hand, "It doesn't matter."
"My name is Li Xi, and I am this child's sister." Li Xi presented the gift he brought and directly stated his intention, "...I know it is not the time to enroll in school, but there was indeed something delayed some time ago."
That's right, I hadn't traveled through time yet at that time.
"... Master Jiang, please be accommodating. Otherwise, if you miss this time, you will have to wait for more than half a year."
Li Xi pushed the tiger in front of him forward, "This is my little brother, Li Hu."
Huzi blinked and turned to look at his sister. His name was not Li Hu, his name was Li Hu.
The smile on Li Xi's face did not change, "Li Hu, nickname is Huzi."
The freshly baked Li Hu blinked and realized that he had two names.
The name Huzi is too familiar. As far as she knows, there are several names in Lijia Village, such as big tiger, tiger, white tiger, tiger head, etc.
This name can be used as a nickname, but let’s change the name to another. Li Xi had thought about the name change before he came here. Li Hu, the dendrobium of Dendrobium officinale, has the same pronunciation as tiger.
It turned out that they were siblings. When Master Jiang learned their purpose, he lowered his head and looked at Hu Zi who was pushed forward.
This private school is opened by him, and the master recruits all his friends. The school is not too big, but it is definitely not small either.
Border customs emphasize martial arts over literature, so there are not many private schools. His is the only private school in this area, so the number of students is still very good, so he has always been very serious when selecting students.
He believes that students attending private schools can be dull, honest, or poor, but their character must pass the test.
But generally speaking, there is no problem. It may be due to the local customs. Most people at the border are very open-minded, especially the children who come to private schools are generally not very old, so there are really not many who have a bad temper. .
"Huzi." Li Xi pushed Huzi's shoulder.
Huzi bowed his hands and bowed in greeting as he practiced last night, "Student Huzi, I have met Master."
Master Jiang looked at Hu Zi's tiger-headed appearance, raised the corners of his mouth, and then coughed lightly, "Your name is Hu Zi, right?"
Huzi nodded, "My nickname is Huzi."
He already knew that he had two names, but he felt that the first name was not nice, but Tiger sounded better, because Tiger was so majestic.
"Do you want to study in my private school?"
"Think." Huzi nodded his little head up and down.
"My private school is not something anyone can enter if they want. I have a few questions to test you." Seeing Hu Zi's clever appearance, Master Jiang wanted to test him.
Huzi Mosquito-repellent Eyes: Test him? How to take the exam?
Li Xi was not in a hurry when Master Jiang said this. Hu Zi had not gone to private school yet, so he would not take the exam for the Four Books and Five Classics. For the rest, he would just let it happen. After all, they were all here.
Gu Jingzhi knew that this was a routine operation and there was no surprise.
Huzi: emmmmmmm
