Chapter 232 Free Lessons
As time passed, other children in the village also came to listen.
Xu Jiaojiao is now recognized as a knowledgeable and capable scholar in the village. What she teaches is definitely right. The most important thing is that she doesn’t have to pay for anything. She teaches and learns for free. Why not?
?
Therefore, those children who love to study or don't like to study are all driven over by their parents to attend classes for free.
It doesn't matter to Xu Jiaojiao, teaching three or five is still teaching, teaching twelve is still teaching.
Anyway, it is the most common daily enlightenment class, and it does not require much knowledge. You can go wherever you think of and teach whatever words you want to teach.
Very casual.
Then, when the interest came, I taught them some arithmetic, addition and subtraction within ten, multiplication and division within ten, etc. I don’t know who brought an old abacus, and Xu Jiaojiao also taught them abacus calculation.
, anyway, I think of where it is...
However, this was enough. In the eyes of the villagers, Xu Jiaojiao was a self-taught genius who could do anything.
The children are learning literacy and arithmetic under a tree, while the adults are under another tree nearby. The parents of Zhang and Li are talking about everyday things.
Now it is almost September, and the autumn harvest is about to begin. Now all we are talking about is the autumn harvest. The men who have nothing to do have already taken out farm tools and other things, and started polishing and repairing them in preparation for the autumn harvest.
Mrs. Xu Zhang picked her teeth and looked at the children who were literate. Some children were serious about learning, and some were not serious. Among the group of non-serious children were Sanlang and Wulang from the old Xu family...
Mrs. Xu Zhang scolded Luo Shi next to her, "You idiot, how can you teach your sons all day long? Their old lady taught them how to read, and they just lazily played in the mud. Do you want to teach your sons to follow the rules?"
Are you a fool who only knows how to eat?"
Luo Shi looked innocent, "Mom, do you think it's okay if I turn around and beat them up?"
"Hit me hard! If you don't beat me, you won't be remembered for long."
Mrs. Xu Zhang usually did not beat her children, but let them be disciplined by their own parents. Mrs. Xu Zhang was best at beating her sons. If they disobeyed, she could chase them for several villages with a big broom.
She scolded her grandchildren, who were separated by a generation, when she didn't like them, and even scolded them bloody, but she didn't do anything.
Her parents are both healthy and it is not her turn as a nurse to discipline her. This is a thankless thing and she understands it well.
Luo Shi quickly agreed, wishing he could go back and tighten his skin around his sons.
Look at the children in the second room, whether they are boys or girls, they all study very seriously. They can recognize many words and can do arithmetic. Several of her children are like mentally retarded. They can't ask questions. During class,
Just pinch the mud...
Of course, Luo Shi felt that their old lady also had responsibilities. How could a teacher be so laissez-faire?
However, even if these words killed her, she did not dare to complain in front of Mrs. Xu Zhang.
Unless she doesn't want to live anymore.
Mrs. Xu Zhang looked at the sky and cursed again, "That bitch, Fourth, never comes back after he goes out. He's just seeing the autumn harvest coming, and he still doesn't come home. Does he want to tire us two old bones to death?"
Or do you want to imitate his scholarly elder brother, who just waits for the autumn harvest to be over and then comes back to enjoy the harvest? If he imitates the elder brother, I won’t interrupt his lack of influence!"
Mrs. Yao was nearby, and when she heard Mrs. Xu Zhang's words, she was embarrassed.
Not only people from Lao Xu's family are here, but also other folks and neighbors...
Xu Zhang didn't want to save any face for Boss Xu and Yao.
Mrs. Yao took the initiative to answer, "Mom, we are busy every year. Unfortunately, there is no distinction between free time and busy time there. The master won't let us go home, so there is nothing we can do. This year, the family is short of staff. I will go there tomorrow.
The town sent a letter to my husband and the others, asking him and his family to take a few days off and bring Da Lang and Da Ya back to help."
Mrs. Xu Zhang gave her a rollicking glance, indicating that she recognized her.
It is impossible for Xu Laoer to work in the fields this year.
In previous years, we mainly relied on Xu Lao Er's efforts to recover the grain. This year, the main labor force can't work, so there are only two, Xu Lao Si and Xu Lao, even if they are not as good as Xu Lao. The second one is so powerful, but after all, he is the man in charge, so he is worse than the women.
Just as he was talking, a group of people suddenly walked towards Lao Xu's house in full swing.
The leader is none other than Xiao Wanzi from Huichun Hall!
Xiao Wanzi took the lead, followed by a large carriage. There was no one in the carriage, and it was dragging a boss's box. Several drivers and helpers were walking on both sides of the carriage.
Xiao Wanzi looked at the carriage as he walked, "Slow down, slow down, you guys, slow down, it's such a precious thing, you guys need to slow down. If it gets damaged, you won't be able to pay for it."
Xu Jiaojiao looked over.
Xiao Wanzi immediately came forward with a smile.
"Senior Aunt, Senior Aunt, you are well, old man!"
All the villagers looked over and Xu Jiaojiao's eyebrows twitched, "You are the damn old man!"
"What's going on?"
Is there another patient in Huichun Hall who needs acupuncture?
Recently, the busy farming season is approaching, and the number of patients in Huichun Hall has decreased, and there are not so many people who need acupuncture.
Every time Huichun Hall invites Xu Jiaojiao to come over, he has to pay money, one or two and a half taels, at least half a tael to start with. Therefore, Huichun Hall makes an appointment with all the patients who need acupuncture, and invites Xu Jiaojiao to come together.
As soon as Jiaojiao passed by, she had to have acupuncture for at least half a day.
Xu Jiaojiao was not very good at her studies before, so Huichun Hall invited her to go there, but she didn't dare to go there for fear of getting out somehow.
Now that I have become proficient in my skills, I am getting better and better as I practice, so I don’t panic anymore.
Go make some extra money, encounter several different illnesses, and become proficient in techniques.
In addition, I have become familiar with Divine Doctor Sun, and I know that he has good character, and I am willing to give him face. It is no longer as difficult to hire him as before.
Sometimes when Xu Jiaojiao needs to come over, there is no need for Xiao Wanzi to come over. Just ask one of his apprentices to come over.
After all, Xiao Wanzi is also one of Dr. Sun's capable disciples. It would be a waste of talent to run errands exclusively.
The large carriage gradually approached and stopped at the entrance of the courtyard of Lao Xu's house.
Many people came to watch out of curiosity. There were endless new happenings in the old Xu family, which became the lively attraction of the entire Xujia Village.
It's definitely better to sit in front of Lao Xu's house if you have nothing to do than to stay bored in your own house.
Xiao Wanzi greeted Xu Zhang and Xu Youde again.
He even waved to fellow villagers he met.
A charming character.
Then, he turned around and pointed at the carriage and said to Xu Jiaojiao, "Senior Sister, Senior Sister, what do you think this is?"
Xu Jiaojiao's face was dark, and she had no clairvoyant eyes. The boxes on the carriage were very tight.
"what?"
Is it **? Want to blow up their old Xu family?
