Xiaochong looked at the new clothes on his body with red eyes, and couldn't help but touch them. They were real, new clothes.
"Yi Yang, we are wearing new clothes."
"Yeah," Yi Yang nodded and helped the others tidy up their clothes.
On the other side, Liu Silang, who had already cooked the noodles, smiled and asked them to come and eat the noodles quickly.
Looking at the large bowl full of steaming noodles, Yi Yang and others' eyes turned red.
Xiaochong's voice was choked with sobs, and the hand holding the bowl was shaking slightly, "I, I have never eaten such good noodles, so many."
"Yeah," Yi Yang's voice also had a nasal sound.
It had been a long, long time since he had eaten white noodles. It had been so long that he had almost forgotten the taste of the white noodles.
"Stop looking and eat," Liu Silang told them to eat quickly, and then he also started eating.
Wow, after two days of starvation, he finally had a full meal, but he couldn't eat in big mouthfuls. What a shame.
Liu Silang picked up the noodles and ate them slowly one by one.
By the time Yi Yang and the others finished eating, he had only eaten half of it.
Yi Yang went to wash the dishes and chopsticks and came back. Seeing Liu Silang's appearance, he looked guilty: "Xiao Si, are you okay?"
"It's okay, just eat slowly," Liu Silang shook his head.
After he finished eating, Lin Jiuniang's voice also sounded outside.
When they came out and saw their new look, Lin Jiuniang was satisfied.
"Ms. Lin, thank you," Yi Yang saluted and thanked Lin Jiuniang seriously, and Xiao Chong and others followed suit.
And just when Yi Yang was saluting, Lin Jiuniang's eyes flashed with light, this was a very particular etiquette.
He looked at Yi Yang with his eyes. After cleaning, he could no longer hide the boy's appearance and demeanor. It seemed that he had a lot of stories before he became a beggar.
After they stood up straight, Lin Jiuniang withdrew her appraising eyes.
Looking at them seriously:
"Yi Yang, you should know very well that there is no free lunch in the world. I will take you in, give you food, and find someone to teach you your skills. I am not asking for nothing, do you understand?"
Yi Yang nodded, of course he knew.
Moreover, he didn't want her to give him charity.
Lin Jiu was very satisfied, "As long as you agree with this, let's talk about other things now."
"From now on, you will live in the school, and I will have food delivered to you every month, so you have to cook and eat by yourself."
Lin Jiuniang paused, "In addition, if you plant these vegetables, I will give you a piece of land.
As for meat, I will deliver it to you every three days. At other times, if you want to eat meat, you have to find a way to make money to eat it.
That’s all the living arrangements, are there any problems?”
Lin Jiuniang won't prepare everything for them. If she doesn't have the ability to do things, she will be useless and it will be easy to raise white-eyed wolves.
Therefore, according to Lin Jiuniang's idea, many things must be obtained by themselves.
Yi Yang shook his head, it was already very good.
Xiaochong and the others were already extremely excited, and there was still meat to eat.
"When it comes to learning," Lin Jiuniang said with a serious face, "Everyone has to study literacy in the school for a year. They practice martial arts with Lin Li in the morning, and learn literacy in the school in the afternoon and evening.
After one year, if you have no interest in reading, after passing the assessment and reaching a certain level of literacy, you can stop learning to read and learn other skills."
She doesn't want her subordinates to be blind in the future and can't even read a note. Wouldn't that delay things?
Yi Yang was excited.
His body trembled, "Really, can you really read and write?"
"That's right," Lin Jiuniang nodded and said ulteriorly, "If you study well and are interested in taking the imperial examination, I can also pay for you to take the imperial examination."
"Very good!"
Xiao Chong was excited and reached out to grab Yi Yang's hand, "Boss, you can read and write now, and you can also take the exam."
Every time the eldest son passed by the book school, he couldn't help but stand outside and listen. He was mesmerized every time.
Now the eldest brother has a chance to read and write, which is great.
Yi Yang nodded excitedly and looked at Lin Jiuniang with a serious face, "Ms. Lin, my life, Yi Yang's, is yours!"
"mine too!"
Xiaochong and others rushed to express their opinions. Even if their parents had not died, they would not have the opportunity to read, read or learn anything.
"I don't want your lives," Lin Jiuniang shook her head and smiled, "So, now the problem comes."
When Liu Silang saw her smile, his hair stood on end, he did it again!
Damn, what are you calculating again?
He really wanted to remind Yi Yang and the others not to agree too quickly to what her mother said, but when his mother's eyes came into contact, Liu Silang silently stepped back.
Forget it, just die as a fellow Taoist and not die as a poor Taoist!
"Ms. Lin, please speak." Yi Yang looked serious. He was more mature than his peers.
"Haha, I am not providing you with these things for free," Lin Jiuniang raised her eyebrows, "In addition to the labor you have to exchange, you will have to serve me for ten years after you have accomplished your studies, do you understand?"
She is not as evil as others. She wants them for a lifetime, ten years, that's enough!
Yi Yang was stunned for a moment, but he felt it was reasonable and nodded, "Okay!"
"Don't ask me what I want you to do?" Lin Jiuniang shook her head, "You agreed so quickly, aren't you afraid of being sold out by me?"
"You are not such a person," Yi Yang replied quickly, "and if you really want to sell us, you don't need to go to such trouble!"
Really a smart man.
Just be smart.
Smart people do smart things.
Lin Jiuniang was satisfied, "Don't worry, you are still young, I won't ask you to do anything. Just be responsible for keeping the school and factory clean every day."
"Is it that simple?" Yi Yang couldn't help but ask.
"What, you're not too troublesome?" Lin Jiuniang sneered, "How about I arrange something more for you?"
Yi Yang didn't say anything.
Lin Jiuniang didn't say anything anymore, but asked Liu Silang to take them to find Gu Liu, and then find an empty room in the backyard of the school to stay.
Just as they stepped out of their home, Lin Jiuniang said:
"Remember, from today on, you are no longer beggars.
You no longer eat the food that comes to you, you are the food and opportunities that you have earned through the labor of your own hands.
So, please straighten your waist, do you hear me?"
Yi Yang, who had already stepped out of the door, was shaken and his waist straightened instantly.
With eyes full of various emotions, he glanced back at Lin Jiuniang, then strode forward.
He must straighten his back and behave as a human being.
After watching them leave, Lin Jiuniang looked at Li Dazui who was looking into her yard with a smile, "I've seen you, why don't you come in?"
Li Dazui walked in with a smile, "Isn't it because you are busy?"
"See?" Lin Jiuniang raised her eyebrows, "They are pitiful enough, remember not to bully them."
"Absolutely not," Li Dazui said with a serious face.
"Okay," Lin Jiuniang shook her head. The people in Anle Village are very united now, and bullying of the weak will not happen.
Then she said that someone would start teaching at the book school tomorrow, and asked her to tell everyone that if there were children at home who wanted to learn how to read, they could send them over.
Seeing that Li Dazui was so happy that she was about to rush out, Lin Jiuniang funnyly asked her to come back first.
"Can't you just hear me out?"
"You said," Li Dazui said excitedly, "I'm so excited. My kid has asked me several times, and he finally got it."
After saying that, he urged Lin Jiuniang to speak quickly if she had anything to say.
She was still anxious to go out and tell everyone the good news.
