The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray

"Just ask." Hu Zi looked at Master Jiang with his eyes wide open.

“Why do you want to study?”

Master Jiang, who had been kind just now, now looked at Hu Zi seriously, waiting for his answer.

Hu Zi thought for a moment and said, "Because I want to become powerful!"

"Become more powerful?" Master Jiang didn't expect to hear this answer. "Who told you that reading can make you more powerful?"

Huzi looked up and said, "If you are not powerful, you can only farm in the village. If you are powerful, you can become a high-ranking official."

Master Jiang frowned, this answer was too utilitarian, and utilitarianism would not help one to study well.

Li Xi noticed that Master Jiang frowned and thought to himself that something was wrong. His plan to come to Jiangning City today was just to rent a house. He had not planned to enroll in the private school. If he had known this, he would have taught Hu Zi these structured interview questions earlier.

"So what if you become a high-ranking official?" Master Jiang continued to ask.

Hu Zi thought for a while and said, "Become powerful, become a high-ranking official, and provide for my sister in her old age."

Li Xi: Uh... if I had known I wouldn’t have teased him.

Master Jiang: ...

Gu Jingzhi: ...

Master Jiang never expected to hear this answer. He is so old and still working hard in the private school, but Hu Zi's sister is so young and already thinking about retirement?

Mr. Jiang felt that the days were just passing by one by one. Why did he feel as if he had missed a lot? Is it that early retirement is becoming a trend outside now?

For a moment, except for Hu Zi, everyone else's eyes turned to Li Xi.

Li Xi pretended not to see their gazes and looked up at the sky and down at the ground to avoid their eyes.

She was just joking at first. Who would have thought that Hu Zi, at such a young age, had such a good memory.

Li Xi laughed awkwardly, "Just kidding, just kidding."

Seeing the disapproval in Master Jiang's eyes, Li Xi secretly curled her lips in her heart. What's wrong with retirement? She just yearns for a retirement life at a young age. What's wrong with that!

Don't get involved with things like 996 and 007.

Gu Jingzhi looked at the lively expression on Li Xi's face and couldn't help but chuckle.

Although the chuckle was so soft that it was barely audible, because they were standing so close to each other, Li Xi heard it clearly. When Li Xi looked over, she saw the corners of his mouth turned up, and she glared at him unhappily.

What kind of person is this? Taking pleasure in other people's misfortune!

Master Jiang didn't expect that Hu Zi's sister wanted to get something for nothing at such a young age. He shook his head and looked at Hu Zi, "Hu Zi, do you know what it means to provide for your old age?"

Huzi nodded, "I know. Elderly care means you will grow old as time goes by."

Master Jiang: ...

Li Xi: emmmmm, this explanation, isn’t it right? It doesn’t seem right. It seems to be that meaning, and it feels weird.

Master Jiang looked at Li Xi and realized that she was you. He took back what he had just said about the child being too utilitarian. It was this thing that misled the child!

If Li Xi knew what Master Jiang was complaining about in his heart, she would definitely cry out for injustice. How could she have misled him? It was clearly Hu Zi who over-interpreted the situation.

Huzi: This pot is so big and black!

"Master, my sister said that studying can make one a useful person. Huzi wants to become a powerful person, protect my sister, and buy meat for her." The childish words startled everyone present.

Li Xi smiled and patted Hu Zi's head. "Okay, then I'll wait for Hu Zi to become stronger and protect me and buy me meat."

Master Jiang stroked his beard, nodded, and said to Li Xi, "Okay, Huzi is a good kid. The most valuable thing about him is that he has a pure heart. I will accept him as my student."

Hu Zi looked at Master Jiang and then at Li Xi, "Sister?"

"What? Are you stupid? The teacher has agreed to accept you into the private school, why don't you thank the teacher quickly."

Hu Zi cupped his hands, bent over, and said with a stern face, "Thank you, Master."

"Okay, okay, Huzi, let me ask you, in which year were you born? Where are you from? Have you ever read any books?" Master Jiang said, stroking his beautiful beard.

Huzi blinked, and then blinked again. A stranger? A person?

Gu Jingzhi looked at Hu Zi with amusement and said, "Master, how old are you and where is your home?"

Master Jiang: ...

"So that's what you mean," Hu Zi's eyes lit up. "I'm five years old this year. My home is in Lijiazhuang. My father taught me to read before, but I've never read a book."

Hu Zi thinks that reading is really powerful. People of a certain age are called strangers, and people who live there are called people with knowledge. People who read are different, even the way they speak is different.

"Five years old, too young." The youngest student in the private school is only six years old. "Let him go to elementary school first."

Li Xi: "Thank you for your subordinate Hu Zi. I will trouble you from now on."

Hu Zi: "Thank you, Master."

"This is Shitou. He is ten years old and is in Class C. He will be your senior brother from now on." Master Jiang glanced at Shitou behind him and introduced him to Hu Zi.

"Senior brother." Hu Zi looked at Shi Tou happily. His home was far away from the village and the children in the village were unwilling to play with him. He had no friends. He did not expect that he could make friends in the private school. Hu Zi was very happy.

"Junior brother." Shitou also liked this chubby little junior brother.

"The private school had a month-long holiday the day before yesterday, and school will start tomorrow. Go back and prepare, and come tomorrow."

Li Xi: Uh...

It's really a hurry. Everything went too smoothly today, as if someone was pushing me forward. I thought it would take several days to complete, but I didn't expect it to be done in half a day.

It's a good thing that things are going smoothly, but it's not a good thing for him to start school tomorrow. They haven't prepared anything yet. Hu Zi will definitely have to go to school as a day student after he starts school, so they have to move first.

"Master Jiang, tomorrow's time is too tight and we may not be able to make it. Huzi is still young and I am worried about his accommodation, so I plan to move to Jiangning City first and then let him start school." Li Xi explained.

Hearing her say this, Master Jiang frowned. Wouldn't it be a waste of time to move to Jiangning City to start school again?

Li Xi: "Don't worry, Master Jiang, we have already found a house and will be able to move in tomorrow. The day after tomorrow I will come to send Hu Zi to school."

Master Jiang was not someone who did not know how to adapt. He knew that the house had been found and it would not take too much time, so he nodded and said, "In that case, let's do this."

Master Jiang was so reasonable, so Li Xi naturally wanted to thank him, and Hu Zi also followed suit.

Master Jiang waved his hands and said, "Okay, okay, no need to thank me. Go and do your business first. Moving is not an easy task."

"Master Jiang, the tuition fees..."

Master Jiang could tell from their clothes that they were not rich. They lived in the village and had to rent a house in Jiangning City. Thinking that they must be short of money, he decided to ask for less.

Unexpectedly, before he could even open his mouth, Li Xi took out two taels of silver from his purse and handed it to Master Jiang, "One tael of silver, is that enough?"

Although she had already asked Aunt Fengxia, she was afraid that there might be some changes, so she asked again.

Master Jiang: "That's enough. It's enough for a year."

Their private schools allow tuition to be paid every six months. After all, some families are not very wealthy, so they wait to harvest grain and sell it to support their children's education.
