The whole family traveled through time and became doctors, raised children and farmed in ancient tim

"Sister, hold Yao." Xie Yao stretched out her little hand towards Xie Wanxing with a look of grievance on her face.

Xie Wanxing reluctantly picked up the heavy boy and walked home. The whole family was gathered at the door. Aunt Li saw this scene and passed by with a look of surprise: "Madam, what are you all doing gathered here at the door?"

Cheng Hui said, "It's okay. I was just looking for A Yao and didn't see the child for a while."

Aunt Li smiled and said, "The young master is playing right here at the door. I can see him all the time. I don't know what he's so engrossed in. I think children love to play, so I didn't bother him."

"Ayao! It's almost time for dinner, why don't you go home?" Cheng Hui pretended to be angry and hurriedly took Xie Yao from Xie Wanxing.

Xie Yao nuzzled into Cheng Hui's arms, clutching her mother's clothes with her little hands, and said aggrievedly, "Mother, it was my sister who told me to squat there and not move. I wanted to go home, but my sister didn't come back, so I didn't dare to leave."

After hearing this, Cheng Hui couldn't help but gently tapped Xie Yao's nose and said helplessly: "You are such a silly boy."

Xie Wanxing felt very guilty and fumbled in his pocket for a while. He grabbed a handful of candy and stuffed it into Xie Yao's arms. As he stuffed it into Xie Yao's arms, he said, "It's my fault. I should have brought him here with me."

Xie Yao's eyes lit up: "Thank you, sister."

Cheng Hui looked at the useless Xie Yao with both anger and amusement: "Xie Wanxing! Give him less candy. Don't stuff candy into his mouth every time you feel guilty, okay? You stuffed candy into his mouth the last time you threw him down."

Xie Songlin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xie Yao, but he still felt that the ordeal he had just gone through was a bit rude in front of Mr. Yu. With an embarrassed look on his face, he turned around and quickly walked back to the yard.

As soon as he saw Mr. Yu, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Mr. Yu, I'm really sorry. My son is naughty and made such a scene just now. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Mr. Yu smiled and waved his hand after hearing this. His face was full of kindness, and his eyes were filled with fondness. He said, "No, children are naturally lively and playful. It's normal for them to like to play and make trouble. There's no such thing as being amusing or not. I also find it funny watching them."

Xie Songlin said, "Sir, please take a seat in the dining room. You can eat soon."

Seeing Mr. Yu follow Xie Songlin into the dining room, Xie Wanxing quickly reached out to stop his brothers and said, "I've finally seen today that Mr. Zhao is truly righteous. The person he invited is definitely a famous teacher with great knowledge. Brothers, you should be proactive!"

Xie Lan nodded happily: "I understand, Ah Xing."

It was dinner time, and Xie Yuan and the others also came. Because there were really too many people coming today, the original big table could not accommodate them. Fortunately, the dining room was deliberately expanded during the previous expansion. Xie Songlin asked Xie Dazhong to put out the newly purchased table.

So, everyone split up and sat at two tables. Mr. Yu, Xie Songlin's family, and Xie Yuan and his children sat at the main table. After all, Mr. Yu was an important guest today, so it was easier for everyone to sit together and talk.

Aunt Li took care of Xie Yao and Qiuyue sisters and the others while they sat at another table. Xie Ning was not talkative and did not want to sit at the main table, so he sat down directly next to Xie Kang.

No one in the family drinks much, so there's no habit of keeping alcohol at home. Xie Songlin raised his teacup and said to Mr. Yu, "Mr. Yu, I'm Xie Songlin, and it's truly an honor for me to have you, a learned and respected gentleman, here with me today. If you don't mind, you can just call me Songlin, just like Mr. Zhao. We don't have any fine wine or food at home today, just simple meals. I'm truly sorry, sir, so I can only offer this cup of tea as a token of my appreciation for your presence. These children in the family will all rely on your careful guidance, so thank you for your continued guidance."

"No, no, I've been thinking about finding a safe and comfortable place to retire. The scenery in your village is very beautiful." Mr. Yu looked at Xie Wanxing and smiled. "Besides, I'm glad to have a disciple like Ah Xing. This trip is worth it."

Xie Songlin listened to Mr. Yu's constant praise and was really curious about what his eldest daughter had said to him. He felt that Xie Wanxing must have shown her true ability and really gave the old man a big surprise. He smiled and said, "It is her blessing that Mr. Yu thinks so highly of Ah Xing. We, as her parents, are also very grateful."

After the pleasantries, Mr. Yu looked curious and said, "By the way, I heard Ah Xing say that her two brothers are teaching people to read and write in this ancestral hall?"

"Teacher, it's my elder brother and Brother Yuan." Xie Wanxing tugged at the corner of Xie Lan's clothes who was sitting next to him.

"Hello, sir." Xie Lan and Xie Yuan were both a little embarrassed. After all, they had accumulated quite a bit of experience in teaching people to read and write in the ancestral hall for some time.

Normally, they could speak to dozens of people calmly, but now, in front of a knowledgeable person like Mr. Yu, they were unusually nervous.

Mr. Yu nodded slightly, his eyes full of approval, and then asked, "I heard that there are many orphans of soldiers in this garrison village. You've done a good job. What are you teaching them now? Is it simple enlightenment literacy, or have you started to cover some content such as classics, history, and miscellaneous works?"

Xie Lan replied, "Sir, right now, we're mainly teaching them how to read. Most of the children in the village don't have any basic knowledge, so we have to start with the very basics. I'll teach you the Thousand Character Classic, and Brother Yuan will teach you the Three Character Classic. But we've only been teaching them for a year, so we're not doing very well."

Mr. Yu nodded. "Yes, this is indeed a book suitable for enlightenment. You are putting a lot of effort into doing this. Did you study at the Hanfeng Academy before?"

Xie Lan responded respectfully, "Yes, sir. My father hired a teacher for us. This teacher was a senior at Hanfeng Academy and always ranked first in the exams. Thanks to the help of the exam questions, we were able to pass the entrance exam and enter Hanfeng Academy."

Xie Lan paused, then continued, "It's just that we started learning late, and compared to the other students in the academy, our foundation is still very weak. During our daily studies, we can clearly feel the gap between us and them. To be honest, we don't even meet the requirements for admission."

Mr. Yu waved his hand gently, his eyes filled with encouragement as he said, "Since you've passed the exam, you're certainly qualified. There's no need to underestimate yourself. Besides, when it comes to learning, while a foundation is certainly important, your subsequent hard work and understanding are also indispensable."

At this point, Mr. Yu seemed to recall something and asked, "You just said that the student who helped you predict the exam was named Shen. Is the top student at Hanfeng Academy Shen Yunhan?"

Xie Songlin nodded: "It's Yunhan, do you know him too, Mr. Yu?"

Mr. Yu: "Of course I recognize him. Zhao Wenli often brags about how great his students are."
