Chapter 43: Become a disciple and enroll
"Master Jiang, there is someone outside asking to see you. He said he wants to send his child to our private school."
Because of the month-long holiday, Master Jiang has had a very leisurely time these past two days. At this moment, he is sipping tea in the yard, looking very relaxed and comfortable.
The weather warmed up, the temperature rose, the sun shone warmly on people's bodies, he was leaning back in the rocking chair with his eyes closed, enjoying the relaxing time.
Hearing the voice, Master Jiang opened his squinting eyes and looked at the person who came.
The child in front of him is called Shitou, he is ten years old this year, he is studious and smart, but his life experience is a bit pitiful. His father was a frontier soldier, he died in a battle with the Huns. As soon as the news came, his mother took the family's money and abandoned him to remarry. Now there is only a grandmother in the family, and they live in poverty.
Shitou had been studying in a private school before. After his father died, he lost his source of income, and his mother took away all the family's money. In this situation, he should have been persuaded to drop out, after all, he was running a private school, not a charity.
However, he was a soft-hearted man. Seeing that he had been kneeling outside the private school for three days and had a strong desire to learn, he finally softened his heart, waived his tuition and fees, and taught him attentively.
He also knew that it was not easy for him to study, so he was extremely serious in his studies. While concentrating on studying, he also tried his best to help the private school and do things within his ability.
He would bring a load of firewood to his family from time to time. He was a grateful man, but he and his wife knew that his life was not easy, so they took care of the children's lunch on a daily basis.
In fact, this was just a piece of cake for the couple. There were boarding students in the private school, and they had to prepare meals anyway. Adding him would only mean adding a handful of brown rice and a bucket of water.
Although Shitou is young, he is sensible. Since then, in addition to studying, he has been helping out in the private school. During the month-long holiday, he will also take the initiative to come to their house to help with the work. He has told him many times not to be so nervous, but don't underestimate this child. He is so stubborn that he gives himself a headache.
If I don't let him work, he will just drink water to fill his stomach and refuse to eat lunch. I had no choice but to compromise. It would be embarrassing to see him studying on an empty stomach.
Look, it’s already the month-long holiday and all the other kids have gone home, but this silly kid is still coming to this hour every day just like he did when he was in school.
When he heard someone knocking on the door, he put down his broom and went out. After Li Xi told him the purpose of their visit, he hurried back to the backyard to inform Master Jiang.
"At this time?" Master Jiang frowned slightly. It had been more than half a month since the enrollment. "Come at this time? Forget it, let's go and take a look first."
Muttering to himself, Master Jiang pressed the armrest of the rocking chair and struggled to get up. Seeing this, Shitou, who was standing beside him, hurriedly helped him up.
Master Jiang felt the filial piety of his disciple and patted Shitou's head with satisfaction. "Let's go, go with me and take a look."
Shitou glanced at the broom in the corner. He hadn't finished sweeping the floor yet. Just as he was about to refuse, he heard Master Jiang say, "Okay, just do whatever I tell you to do.
You don't need to sweep the floor, and a little kid doesn't need to do so much work."
Shitou knew that the Master was taking care of him, and he was touched and did not refuse.
Master Jiang looked at the disciples who followed him obediently and felt satisfied. This was right. Students should listen to the master.
Master Jiang straightened his collar, shook his sleeves, and walked towards the front yard with his hands behind his back.
Although Master Jiang's house is divided into front and back yards, it is actually not very big. He reached the moon gate connecting the front and back yards in just a few steps.
Walking to the front yard, Li Xi saw three people standing in the middle of the yard, a tall and handsome man, a delicate girl, and a chubby child. Judging from the way these three people were dressed, they were not from wealthy families.
But apart from the child, the other two people had a special temperament that he couldn't describe.
Moreover, apart from the child, the other two are too young to be the child's parents.
"Who are you three?" Master Jiang stepped forward and said to Gu Jingzhi politely. This man didn't look simple.
Li Xi glanced at the silent Gu Yin, took a step forward, and said with a smile, "This must be Master Jiang, I have heard of your name for a long time. I am sorry for disturbing you today."
Master Jiang waved his hand, "It's okay."
"My name is Li Xi, and I'm this child's sister." Li Xi handed over the gift she brought and stated her purpose directly, "...I know now is not the time for enrollment, but something did delay me some time ago."
That’s right, I hadn’t traveled through time at that time.
"...Please be flexible, Master Jiang. Otherwise, if you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait for another half a year."
Li Xi pushed Hu Zi in front of him forward and said, "This is my little brother, Li Hu."
Hu Zi blinked and turned to look at his sister. His name is not Li Hu, his name is Li Hu.
Li Xi's smile remained unchanged, "Li Hu, nicknamed Huzi."
The newly-minted Li Hu blinked his eyes. It turned out that he had two names.
The name Huzi has too many duplicates. As far as she knows, there are several such names in their Lijia Village, such as Big Tiger, Tiger, White Tiger, and Tiger Head.
This name can be used as a nickname, but it’s better to change the real name. Li Xi had thought of changing the name before he came. Li Hu, the "hu" in Dendrobium officinale, is homophonic with "hu".
It turned out that they were siblings. Master Jiang learned the purpose of their visit and looked down at Hu Zi who was pushed to the front.
He opened this private school, and the teachers were all his friends. It wasn't too big, but definitely not small.
The border areas value military more than literature, so there are not many private schools. His is the only private school in this area, so the student source is still very good. Therefore, he is always very serious when selecting students.
He believed that students enrolled in private schools could be dull, honest, or from poor families, but their character must be good.
But generally speaking, there is no problem. It may be due to the local customs and practices. People in border areas tend to be open-minded and generous. Especially the children who come to private schools are generally not very old, so there are really few who have bad tempers.
"Hu Zi." Li Xi pushed Hu Zi's little shoulder.
Hu Zi bowed and saluted, just like he had practiced last night, "Student Hu Zi, greetings to the teacher."
Master Jiang looked at Hu Zi's fierce appearance, raised the corner of his mouth, and then coughed lightly, "Your name is Hu Zi, right?"
Hu Zi nodded, "My nickname is Hu Zi."
He already knew that he had two names, but he thought the first name was not nice and that Hu Zi sounded better because a tiger is so majestic.
"Do you want to come to my private school to study?"
"I do." Hu Zi nodded his little head up and down.
"Not everyone can enter my private school. I have a few questions to test you." Seeing Hu Zi's clever look, Master Jiang wanted to test him.
Hu Zi Mosquito Eyes: Test him? How?
Li Xi was not anxious when he heard what Master Jiang said. Hu Zi had never attended a private school, so he would not have to take exams on the Four Books and Five Classics. As for the rest, he could just let it go. After all, they had come this far.
Gu Jingzhi knew that this was a routine operation and there was nothing surprising about it.
Huzi: emmmmmm
