Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

Shen Jiaxing was not surprised at all when he heard Ai Shutong chose language.

Because few girls are interested in mathematics and physics.

"Okay, then I'll give you a lesson every night. How about thirty dollars a month?"

This price is already very cheap.

Shen Jiaxing earns 200 yuan a month and has no expensive hobbies, so he is not short of money at all.

The reason why she was willing to teach Ai Shutong was that she felt she was a good candidate and that she would most likely not stay at home to take care of her husband and children, but would go out into the society to work.

But after hearing the price, Ai Shutong still felt very painful.

Oh my god! Nearly 30% of the rent is gone.

She also knew that studying in the Republic of China was very expensive, so she had no choice but to continue to increase her income instead of cutting back on spending.

"Okay, thank you Professor Shen first. Professor Shen, please help me prepare the books in the next few days. Once they are ready, we will start the class!"

Shen Jiaxing nodded in agreement, "Okay, then it's settled."

Just as I was about to say goodbye, I ran into Aunt Lin coming over with a plate of spicy chicken.

Ai Shutong said politely: "Professor Shen, have you eaten yet? If not, try Lin Ma's cooking."

Mrs. Shen doesn't know how to cook this kind of fashionable dish. You don't need to ask, just by looking at it, you can tell that this dish was made by Mrs. Lin.

Shen Jiaxing couldn't resist the temptation of the spicy chicken and nodded subconsciously.

Ai Shutong didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but Lin's mother found it a little hard to accept.

Princess, no, Miss, how can you eat at the same table with adult men?

As the saying goes, boys and girls should not sit at the same table at the age of seven. This goes against our ancestral teachings!!!

Mother Lin cried out helplessly in her heart.

But her mistress didn't have the ability to read minds, and didn't understand the look she gave her.

So in the end, Shen Jiaxing sat at the dinner table in Ai Shutong's house so openly.

The dishes on the table were as rich as usual, including spicy chicken, osmanthus fish fillets, sweet and sour lotus root, and a clam and shrimp soup.

Usually, Lin's mother refused to come to the table, so Ai Shutong would have a lot of leftovers. But today, with Shen Jiaxing's help, most of the food was finished.

When Mother Lin took the dishes back to the kitchen, Shen's mother and daughter were about to eat the soup when they were frightened by the leftovers in front of them.

Where's the rice? Where's the vegetables?

How come the princess suddenly became such a big eater?

Mother Lin explained to her, "Professor Shen, who rented the wing room in the front yard, has a big appetite. He ate everything."

Shen was shocked when she heard this, and then she said cautiously: "Mammy, Professor Shen is an adult man. He is eating at the same table with the princess, right..."

The unfinished words showed her disapproval.

Mother Lin also disagreed, but the princess had grown up and had her own ideas. She was in charge too much and was blamed, and finally she became unpopular with everyone.

Oh! She has a hard time!

"I've told you so many times, don't call me Mammy. The current president is a Han Chinese, and Manchus are no longer popular."

"Changed it, did you hear me? Call me Sister Lin."

Shen's waist immediately bent lower, "Yes, yes, Sister Lin."

Mother Lin shook her handkerchief twice and left the kitchen.

Shen wiped the sweat from her forehead and straightened her back.

At this moment, there was a harsh sound of dishes colliding nearby.

"Ouch! Be gentle, my little ancestor. Is there anyone who washes dishes like you? Leave it alone, I'll do it."

Shen said to her daughter Shen Xiaorui.

Shen Xiaorui pouted, looking unhappy, "Why are we the only ones who have to wash the dishes? We are not allowed to eat, but only work. We are worse than Zhou Baopi."

After hearing this, Shen was so scared that she quickly covered her daughter's mouth.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If someone hears it, will we still have a chance to survive?"

"Have you forgotten what happened to mulberries some time ago?"

Shen Xiaorui pulled Shen's hand away, biting her lip, her face full of grievance.

Shen sighed deeply, took her hand and patted it, "Mom knows you're wronged, but if we get out of this, where are we going to live?"

"There is chaos and war everywhere. Even the emperor has been wronged. What does it matter if you and I suffer some wrongs? We are all trying to survive."

Shen Xiaorui was very dissatisfied in her heart, "Mom, now that the morning is dead, there is no such thing as slaves. We are now called servants and are free people."

Shen glared at her and said, "What freedom? You are destined to be a maid in my belly. Don't keep thinking about those useless things. Living a peaceful life is better than anything else!"

"Go cook two bowls of noodles and I'll wash the dishes."

Shen Xiaorui: "Mom, there are some things that I have been holding in my heart for a long time. I want to tell you today."

"The waitress hired by Xianghe Hotel is paid at least 800 yuan a month. Why don't we go?"

Shen was exhausted when she saw that her daughter did not listen to her advice.

"Are you prettier than others, or can you read? Why would they hire you?"

Shen Xiaorui: "I can do it. I will try my best."

Shen: "Okay, just think of it as someone wanting you. Where will you live? What will you eat?"

Shen Xiaorui: "The leftovers from the guests are enough for us to eat. Aren't we also eating the leftovers from the guests here?"

Shen: "Where do you live then? Is eight hundred dollars enough to rent a house?"

"Let alone renting the house we live in, even if it's half of it, two eight hundred dollars wouldn't be enough."

"Stop thinking about it and go cook the noodles."

"You have lived a good life for too long, and you don't know the sufferings of the world!"

Shen Xiaorui reluctantly walked to the stove to light a fire and cook noodles.

In the main room of the East Courtyard, Shen Jiaxing was about to say goodbye after a hearty meal when he remembered what Professor Li, who taught European history, had said the day before.

"Miss Ai, I wonder if you have ever seen a lamp lighted?"

"This electric lamp is a good thing. The light it emits is a hundred times brighter than a candle. It is much better for reading and practicing calligraphy at night."

Ai Shutong nodded in agreement, "Professor Shen is right."

Shen Jiaxing:?

Is this gone?

"Wouldn't it be nice if you installed electric lights in your house?"

Ai Shutong: "It's so difficult to get electricity. I asked and found out that not only do I have to submit an application in advance, but I also have to find a guarantor."

“The cost is also very high.”

"We can just think about it, it's impossible to implement it."

Shen Jiaxing thought about it and decided that he should go back to discuss with Professor Li and then come up with a feasible plan for Miss Ai.

"Sorry to bother you Miss Ai. Shen will take his leave."

Ai Shutong: "Professor Shen, you are too polite. Since you are my teacher, you can call me Shutong from now on. I will call you Teacher Shen."

Shen Jiaxing was originally a modern person. Since the other party did not care about these false formalities, he was of course happy to do so.

A few days later, Shen Jiaxing had no classes in the morning.

I brought English and Russian documents with me.

Only then did Mother Lin realize that her young lady had spent thirty dollars to hire Professor Shen as a teacher.

Her entire mouth was shaped into an "O" in shock.

What made her even more unacceptable was that Ai Shutong told her that when she had finished her studies, she would go to college.

How is this possible?

Aren't universities only for men?

Miss, how can a girl...
