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

Xie Songlin loaded a cart of children into the store early in the morning. Now he had three ox carts that he could use, so he asked Xie Songyang to use the new one he bought specifically to pick up and drop off people in the store.

He is going to post notices today, and he doesn't know if there are any students applying for the job. If there are, he must let him meet the students he is going to teach first. If not, he can let the boys in his family come to the shop to learn first, so that they can help out when the shop is busy. In short, he should bring all the children over first.

As soon as he posted the notice, someone came over to read it. It was Mr. Wang, the owner of the wonton shop next door. Because the shop was close by, Xie Songlin often patronized his business, and they became very familiar with each other after a few visits.

Moreover, Xie Songlin's business was good, so his business also improved. Some students bought tea and drinks next door and sat down to eat in his shop for convenience. So he was very enthusiastic about Xie Songlin and greeted him every day when he saw him.

"Thank you, boss! Are you recruiting?" Boss Wang came over and took a look at the notice.

"Yes, there are many children at home and it is troublesome to take care of them. It is better for them to come here and learn a few words." Xie Songlin responded with a smile.

"Indeed, if children can learn a few words, they will have a good future." Boss Wang agreed deeply with Xie Songlin's words and carefully read his notice. "Boss Xie, your idea is really good. It costs a lot of money to hire a teacher, but it would be much less expensive to hire a student to teach them how to read. It's a pity that I don't have any children, otherwise I would like to come to your place and ask for help."

"Then I wish that Manager Wang will get a Qilin soon." Xie Songlin said politely and was about to go back to the store to get busy. Today was a day off for Hanfeng Academy, but there was more to do than just lunch.

Just two minutes after Xie Songlin sat down, a young man walked in. He was wearing the school uniform of Hanfeng Academy. Because it was still early, there were no customers in the store, and Xie Songlin was the only one in the lobby.

"Sir, what would you like to drink?" Xie Songlin stood up and greeted him.

"No, I'm not buying anything." The student blushed slightly, looking a little embarrassed. "I saw the notice on the shopkeeper's door, and I'm not sure if you still need me, sir."

Xie Songlin was delighted when he heard this and quickly said, "Yes, yes, I need you. What is your name, sir?"

He straightened his body slightly and answered respectfully: "My surname is Shen, my given name is Yuxi, and my nickname is Yunhan. I am a student of Hanfeng Academy." After that, Shen Yuxi bowed deeply to Xie Songlin, and his behavior was humble and polite. Xie Songlin looked at the young man in front of him and nodded secretly in his heart. He had a good first impression of him.

"I wonder how your studies are going?"

Shen Yuxi raised her head slightly, her eyes revealing confidence and sincerity. "I have diligently studied all the subjects taught by the Master, whether it's the classics, history, or poetry, and I have always been among the best in every examination. My classmates often come to me for help when they have academic difficulties, and I am always patient in answering their questions. While I wouldn't claim to be a learned scholar, I do believe I have some knowledge. If I can earn the trust of the shopkeeper and teach the young students, I will do my best to live up to your trust."

"Okay, Mr. Shen. Let me take you to meet my children first." Xie Songlin nodded happily. He felt that this young man was more to his liking.

"Shopkeeper, just call me Yunhan."

Xie Songlin called several children to the backyard. The dock and delivery businesses had already recruited people from the village to replace them. Xie Yong and Xie Yuan had already come to the store to help as shop assistants. Now there were nine children from several families gathered together. Fortunately, they were all obedient children at home and did not make any noise, otherwise so many children together would definitely blow the roof off the house.

"Line up according to your heights." Xie Songlin gave an order and all the children stood in line according to their heights. Xie Wanxing was among them. She was the shortest and stood at the end. Next to her stood a wobbly Xie An who seemed a little unsteady. She could only reach out to help him steady himself.

"This is Mr. Shen, whom I invited. He will be your teacher from now on. You must listen to his instructions and study hard. Do you remember everything?"

"I remember." The children all nodded in agreement.

Xie Lan was the first to bow respectfully to Shen Yuxi and said loudly, "Hello, Mr. Shen." Seeing their eldest brother do so, the others also followed their eldest brother's example and bowed to Shen Yuxi.

Shen Yuxi nodded slightly to accept their greetings, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Okay, thank you everyone." His eyes swept over the children one by one, and an inexplicable sense of responsibility surged in his heart. They would all be his students from now on.

After the teacher and student met each other, they were very satisfied with each other, so Xie Songlin invited him to the outer room to talk about the teaching time and content.

"Yunhan, when would be a good time for you to teach in the future? What books do you need me to prepare?"

"Shopkeeper, I can come and teach at noon and in the evening after school. If it's a day off, I can stay in the shop all day." Shen Yuxi replied, "As for books, shopkeeper, please buy a few copies of Thousand Character Classic and Three Character Classic."

"Okay, take this sour plum soup." Xie Songlin took a bottle of sour plum soup from the cabinet and handed it to him. "By the way, will you eat with us in the future?"

"Thank you, boss." Shen Yuxi's face turned red again, but he did not refuse, because he was indeed living in a difficult financial situation.

He has an older brother at home who works hard in the fields every day to support his studies, but his sister-in-law does not quite agree with this. Fortunately, he works hard and excels in his studies and is admitted to Hanfeng Academy. The academy waives his tuition, but he still has to find a way to solve his daily expenses such as food.

He knew that his elder brother and mother worked hard, and was afraid that his sister-in-law would make things difficult for them, so he seldom asked them for money. He was also extremely frugal in terms of food. On weekdays, he relied on copying books for the bookstore to earn some money to buy some cheap food such as steamed buns to fill his stomach. Not only that, he also had to save money from this meager income to buy some pens, ink and paper for daily study.

Today, he happened to come to deliver copied books to the bookstore next door, and accidentally overheard the conversation between the two owners next door.

He knew this boss Xie. In the academy, everyone said that the names of the teas in this shop were interesting, the boss was kind, and the sour plum soup they sold was cheap and delicious. But no matter how cheap it was, he was reluctant to spend a penny.

At this moment, he held the sour plum soup tightly in his hand, his heart full of gratitude. Two taels of silver a month was enough for his school expenses. Now that he could even save money for food, he could save some money for the exam in the future.

Thinking of this, he was somewhat moved. With red eyes, he bowed to Xie Songlin again: "Thank you, shopkeeper. I will definitely try my best."

Xie Songlin easily understood his situation from his expression and naturally believed that this student was not a boaster. He must be, as he said, one of the best students in Hanfeng Academy. He patted his arm and said gently, "No need to call me shopkeeper. If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Xie from now on."

"Yes, Uncle Xie."

"You should go back first. You will start teaching tomorrow. Prepare well. I will go buy some books next door later."

Shen Yuxi nodded, bowed to Xie Songlin again, then turned and left.

There was a bookstore next door, so it was convenient to buy books. Xie Songlin took some money and went next door to buy ten copies of "Thousand Character Classic" and "Three Character Classic". Ancient books were really not cheap. These books cost him one or two taels of silver, which made him feel very painful.
