Xiaoqi is more dexterous than her mother and is very talented.

Now her mother is too busy, so Xiaoqi is helping her.

"I think you have a talent for embroidery, but in addition to embroidery, you also need to read books, otherwise you won't be able to understand the complicated drawings."

Xiao Qi nodded.

Xiaobei's sister didn't recognize any of the words on the drawings she brought. It was Ji Xiaobei who explained them to her and her mother before they could start working on them.

"You need to learn two languages, one is the language we use now, and the other is the counterpart, which you also need to learn."

Xiaoqi didn’t understand, but he didn’t ask. He thought what Sister Xiaobei said must make sense.

"I'll hire a teacher for Xiaoju and the others to teach them. You don't have to go every day. Whenever you're not busy, go and learn from the teacher. You learn differently from them."

Xiao Qi nodded again.

"Sister, I'll listen to you!"

The backyard is already in chaos...

Ji Xiaobei asked Xiaoqi to go back and she ran to the backyard.

The chickens and ducks were chased away in panic. Guoguo and Anan were standing in the chicken coop, holding onto the wall and cheering for the three of them.

Ji Xiaobei shouted, "Ji Xiaohua, come here!"

Xiaohua ran away quickly with the iron ball and iron egg.

The three little chickens in the chicken coop were so anxious that they cried loudly.

Ji Xiaobei could only throw away the stick in his hand, carry one on his back, hug two, and go back to the house.

Xiaohua spent more than half a year at home, and no one took care of her, so she had a lot of fun.

She is always away from home, going up the mountain to catch pheasants, going to the river to fish, and climbing trees to catch birds. She can be seen everywhere.

When I was thirsty and tired, I followed Tiedan back and had food and drink at the village head's house.

When their parents were not at home, no matter how naughty the three children were, the headman's wife would not bear to say a word to them.

Served with delicious food and drinks.

Since Tieqiu and Tiedan came here, they have made his mother cry several times.

Mrs. Lin scolds Xiaohua every day: You don’t do anything humane.

Xiaohua also felt aggrieved: I want to do human resources work, but there is no such job here, so why don’t you send me back to Jijia Bay?

Mrs. Lin was so angry that she glared.

It is impossible to send them back, so these three children can only be handed over to Ji Xiaobei.

The workshop is crowded and messy, not a place to study.

The next day, she went to He Ye's yard in Nancheng to find Lian Feng.

Lian Feng was sitting cross-legged on the kang, holding a book in one hand and giving himself acupuncture with the other.

Ji Xiaobei screamed and was so scared that he almost stabbed himself to death.

"Oh, Sister Xiaobei, you're already a mother, can you lower your voice a little? You almost scared me to death."

Lian Feng said, covering his chest.

Ji Xiaobei glared at him and said, "I want to discuss something with you!"

Lian Feng smiled playfully: "Sure, I will do whatever you ask. Tell me, do you need the plaster again?"

Ji Xiaobei: "No, can you be a teacher?"

Lian Feng almost choked to death on his own saliva.

"What? I was originally a doctor, how come I became a teacher?" Lian Feng shook his head in disagreement.

"Before I find a suitable teacher, you will be the children's teacher for one hour in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. The salary is one tael of silver per month!"

"No, no!" Lian Feng shook his head.

"Two taels a month!"

"No, I really can't!"

“Two and a half taels a month!”

Lian Feng was about to shake his head and speak again when he was interrupted by Ji Xiaobei.

"Forget it, I can't afford it any higher. Goodbye!" Ji Xiaobei stood up and was about to leave.

"Oh, no, sister, I mean, your baby is too young to be taught..."

"I'm not teaching Guoguo and Zhengzheng, I'm teaching three kids aged four, five or six, one girl and two boys, and I'm just using the Three Character Classic to teach them.

Another child is 8 years old, and you only teach her to read. You should teach her the matching characters! "

After Ji Xiaobei finished speaking, he looked at Lian Feng.

"Comparison characters? Do we need to teach both the currently used characters and foreign characters?" Lian Feng asked.

"She can come when she is free, and not come if she is not. You can teach her a few words each time and let her go back and practice writing and reading by herself."

Lian Feng agreed and said, "Two and a half taels of silver a month, deal!"

"This is the Three Character Classic. You should preview it first. Not only do you have to teach them to read, but you also have to take care of these three children!"

"Sister, don't worry, there will be no problem!"

Ji Xiaobei asked him to clean up the west and east wing rooms.

The west wing is used as a study.

The east wing is used as a bedroom, one for Xiaohua and one for Tieqiu and Tiedan.

Huang Po lived on the east side of the main house, and Lian Feng lived on the west side of the main house.

Lian Feng is responsible for teaching, and Huang Po is the dormitory manager and cook.

She has rented the yard and has to pay rent to He Ye every month.

He Ye refused and said that he would just let Ji Xiaobei take good care of the house for her. Maybe one day when the girl and her family come back, he would return it to them.

Ji Xiaobei told Huang Po about it after he returned.

Grandma Huang said with a smile: "These little brats are so good at escaping from my grasp. It's just that it's quiet over there. The children are studying, and I want to concentrate on studying medicine."

Mrs. Lin scolded Xiaohua and said that she had already found a academy for her.

Xiaohua suddenly felt like a deflated balloon, it was all over.

Shugen's wife told her two children to listen to their teacher when they got there, and if they acted naughty, she would ask their father to spank them.

When the tree roots were mentioned, the two children were terrified.

Early the next morning, Ji Decai drove a car full of people to South City.

Xiaohua lowered her head and looked listless, like a criminal serving his sentence.

Tieqiu and Tiedan were very excited, but looking at Xiaohua's expression, they couldn't understand what was going on and felt very uneasy.

When he arrived at the door, Ji Xiaobei looked up and saw a sign hanging on the door: Zhengguo School.

Lian Feng was very efficient and finished carving it in one night.

Lian Feng was wearing a long robe, with his hair combed shiny, and standing in the yard with his hands behind his back, welcoming the children.

It was the first time that Xiaohua and the other two met the teacher and they felt a little reserved.

He looked at the gentleman cautiously.

"This is Mr. Lian. Listen to him and Mrs. Huang in the future. Study hard and learn to read carefully!"

As soon as Ji Xiaobei finished speaking, Xiaohua asked, "Sister, when can we go back?"

"I go back once every two weeks..."

"Ah, big sister, Guoguo and Zhengzheng will miss me!"

"Don't worry, they won't do that. Just stay here." Ji Xiaobei said and left.

The door slammed shut.

The Zhengguo Handicraft Workshop finally became quiet again.

Zhengguo School officially opened.

Grandma Huang took out all the herbs she had picked in the fall and turned them over to dry in the sun.

Listen to the sounds in the room.

"My name is Lian Feng. From now on you can call me Mr. Lian. What's your name?" Lian Feng pointed at Xiaohua and asked.

"My name is Ji Xiaohua, Ji Xiao as in Ji Xiaobei, and Hua as in Hua!"

Xiaohua answered crisply, constantly looking at Mr. Lian in front of her.

He was wearing a cotton robe and was well-mannered, looking like a scholar. However, he smelled of herbs, which was stronger than that of Huang Po.

"Do you make a living by collecting herbs?" Xiaohua was not afraid of her at all. She was a little curious about Mr. Lian.
