"You ask." Huzi looked at Master Jiang with big eyes.
"Why do you want to study?"
Master Jiang, who had been so charitable just now, was looking at Hu Zi with a serious look on his face, waiting for his answer.
Huzi thought for a moment, "Because I want to become more powerful!"
"Become more powerful?" Master Jiang did not expect to hear this answer. "Who told you that you will become more powerful by studying?"
Huzi raised his head, "If you're not good, you can only farm in the village. If you're good, you can become a high official."
Master Jiang frowned, this answer was too utilitarian, and utilitarianism is not a good book.
Li Xi noticed Master Jiang's frown and felt bad. The plan to come to Jiangning City today was just to rent a house. He had not planned to sign up for a private school. If he had known, he would have taught Hu Zi these structured interview questions earlier.
"What if you become a high official?" Master Jiang continued to ask.
Huzi thought for a moment, "Become powerful, become a high official, and support my sister in her old age."
Li Xi: Well...if I had known better, I wouldn't have teased him in the first place.
Master Jiang:......
Gu Jingzhi:......
Master Jiang never expected to hear this answer. He is still struggling in private school at such an old age. Huzi and his sister are thinking about retirement at such a young age?
Master Jiang felt that the days were passing by day by day. Why did he feel that he had missed a lot? Is it now popular outside to retire early?
For a moment, everyone except Hu Zi looked at Li Xi.
Li Xi pretended not to be able to see them, looking at the sky and the earth to avoid their eyes.
She just saw it as a joke at first. Who would have thought that Huzi, at such a young age, would have such a good memory.
Li Xi sneered, "Just kidding, just kidding."
Seeing the disapproval in Mrs. Jiang's eyes, Li Xi secretly pouted in her heart, what's wrong with retirement? She just yearns for retirement life at a young age, what's wrong!
996,007 Don't get involved in this kind of thing.
Gu Jingzhi looked at the lively expression on Li Xi's face and couldn't help but chuckle.
Although the sound was so shallow that it could not be heard, who made the two of them stand so close? Li Xi could really hear that chuckle. When Li Xi looked over, he happened to see the raised corners of his mouth. Xi glared at him angrily.
Who are you, gloating over misfortune!
Master Jiang did not expect that Huzi, a sister at such a young age, would want to get something for nothing. He shook his head and looked at Huzi, "Does Huzi know what pension is?"
Huzi nodded, "I know, taking care of yourself means taking care of yourself until you get old."
Master Jiang:......
Li Xi: Emmmmm, this explanation is right, but it doesn’t quite feel right. It seems wrong, that’s what it means. It feels weird.
Master Jiang looked at Li Xi, and he took back what he just said about the child being too utilitarian. It was this thing that misled the child!
If Li Xi knew what Master Jiang was slandering in his heart, he would definitely cry out that he was wronged. How could she have misled him? It was clearly Hu Zi who over-interpreted it.
Huzi: This pot is so big and dark!
"Master, my sister said that reading will make you a useful person. Huzi wants to become a powerful person, protect your sister, and buy meat for your sister." Tong Yan Tong Yu's words stunned everyone present.
Li Xi smiled and touched Huzi's head, "Okay, then sister will wait until Huzi becomes more powerful to protect her and buy her meat."
Master Jiang stroked his beard, nodded, and said to Li Xi, "Okay, Hu Zi is a good kid. The most valuable thing is that he has an innocent heart. I will accept this student."
Hu Zi looked at Master Jiang and then at Li Xi, "Sister?"
"What? Are you stupid? The master has already agreed to admit you into the private school. Why don't you thank the master quickly?"
Huzi raised his little hands, bent down, and said with a straight face, "Disciple, thank you, Master."
"Okay, okay, Huzi, my teacher is asking you, when were you born? Where are you from? Have you ever read any books?" Master Jiang said, stroking his beautiful beard.
Huzi blinked, then blinked again, was it stranger? person?
Gu Jingzhi looked at Huzi funny and said, "Master, I ask you how old you are and where is your home?"
Master Jiang:......
"So that's what it means," Huzi's eyes lit up, "I am five years old this year, and my family is in Lijiazhuang. My father taught me how to read before, but I have never read a book."
Huzi thinks reading is really great. How old you are is called a stranger, and where you live is called a scholar. Scholars are just different, and they even speak differently.
"Five years old, too young." The youngest student in the private school is only six years old now, "Let's go to elementary school first."
Li Xi: "Thank you very much, Master. I will trouble you from now on."
Huzi: "Thank you, Master."
"This is Shitou. He is ten years old this year. He is in Class C. He will be your senior brother from now on." Master Jiang glanced at Shitou behind him and introduced it to Huzi.
"Senior brother." Huzi looked at Shitou happily. His family lived in a village far away, and the children in the village were not willing to play with him. He had no friends. He didn't expect that he could make friends in the private school. Huzi was very happy.
"Junior brother." Shitou also liked this tough-headed little junior brother.
"The private school had its monthly holiday the day before yesterday. School will start tomorrow. Go back and get ready. Come tomorrow."
Li Xi: Uh...
It's true that hurry comes quickly. Everything went so smoothly today, as if someone was pushing me away. What I thought would take several days to complete, I didn't expect to finish in half a day.
It's a good thing that things are going well, but it won't be a good idea to start school tomorrow. They haven't prepared anything yet. Huzi will definitely have to study day after school, and they have to move their home first.
"Master Jiang, we are too late tomorrow. I'm afraid we won't be able to make it in time. Huzi is still young and I don't worry about his accommodation. I plan to move to Jiangning City first and then let him enroll in school." Li Xi explained.
Hearing what she said, Master Jiang frowned and moved to Jiangning City to enroll again. Wouldn't this be a waste of time?
Li Xi: "Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, we have found a house and we can move here tomorrow. I will send Huzi to school the day after."
Master Jiang was not a person who didn't know how to adapt. Knowing that the house had been found and it wouldn't waste too much time, he nodded, "That's it, so be it."
Master Jiang was so reasonable, so Li Xi naturally wanted to thank him, and Hu Zi also said thank you.
Mrs. Jiang held up her position and waved her hand, "Okay, okay, no need to thank you. Go and do your business first. Moving is not an easy task."
"Master Jiang, the tuition and miscellaneous fees..."
Master Jiang could tell from their clothes that they were not rich people. They lived in the village and had to come to Jiangning City to rent a house. Thinking that they must be short on money, he thought about asking for less.
Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Li Xi took out two taels of silver from his purse and handed it to Master Jiang, "One tael of silver, is that enough?"
Although she had already asked Aunt Fengxia, she was afraid of any changes, so she asked again.
Master Jiang: "That's enough, enough for one year."
Their private schools allow tuition to be paid every six months. After all, some families are not too wealthy, so they just wait to harvest food and then sell it to pay for their children's education.
