Gu Xiaoxiao didn't sleep very well this night, Yang Dawang and Hua'er slept well. She held the flowers at night, tried to feel the aura around her, and unexpectedly found that the aura in Xianyang City was more sufficient than when she was in Yuhe County.

She didn't know if it was because she had enough aura, or if she had finally grown up and could communicate with the aura of heaven and earth, which made Gu Xiaoxiao very excited. The flower seemed to feel the subtle difference, and slept more soundly in the crook of her arm.

Hua'er is very young, Gu Xiaoxiao plans to wait for her to be a little older and teach her some ways to strengthen her body, after all, Hua'er was born with a weak body, and she lost too much when she was young. If you don't take care of your body carefully, you may not be in good health after middle age.

On the second day, Lao Li found a half-old student with a melon skin head early in the morning, joined two middle-aged people, and signed the paperwork of renting a house with Gu Xiaoxiao. After Gu Xiaoxiao paid the rent, Lao Li Xiao's back was almost straight, and he kindly found two small round stools for the three of them.

Gu Xiaoxiao waited for Yang Dawang to get up, took him and Hua'er to inquire about the thrift market, and went to buy some old furniture and clothes. The thrift market is very lively, and it is inevitable that there will be bullying, and Yang Dawang's physique plays a prominent role at this time.

After spending a preferential price to roughly decorate the home, she asked Yang Dawang to take the flowers to rest at home and go out to find a job by herself.

Last night, when she couldn't sleep, Gu Xiaoxiao thought about it, she didn't know where to do embroidery, and compared it to the most suitable to go down to the church to help.

First, there are nurseries in churches, and flowers can carry things in them, and second. Church-run primary schools and girls' schools teach a wider range of content and are more Westernized. Of course, she can teach these things to Hua'er by hand. But she is still a four or five-year-old child, and getting along with her peers is better for her physical and mental health.

The situation was turbulent and the Western forces continued to invade, and the Catholic Church blossomed in the country, from the seaside to the inland big cities to the provincial capital, the Catholic Church has almost become a landmark when Westerners arrive at a place.

There are several Catholic churches in Xianyang. Belonging to different sects, Gu Xiaoxiao went to the Holy Light Catholic Church on Xianyao Road after weighing it. The Holy Light Catholic Church not only has an affiliated Salesian Church, but also a primary school and Yuying Girls' High School. Gu Xiaoxiao had the heart to let Hua'er study at Salesian Hall here, and then transfer to the primary school there after going to Xinghai City.

The job search went very smoothly, after Gu Xiaoxiao introduced herself in fluent English and sat in front of the wooden piano and played a song. The silver-haired nun immediately decided to ask her to help in the church. As a female elementary school teacher.

This is a beautiful difference, Gu Xiaoxiao came by coincidence, the church elementary school has just dismissed two female teachers who were cheating and cheating. She is not good-looking, but she has a soft temperament, and when it comes to the Bible, she has the best way to get this job that many female students with educational experience want to apply for.

Of course, Gu Xiaoxiao also did a test paper containing Chinese and French content, after all, this church was organized by the French. This is also one of the reasons why Gu Xiaoxiao stands out, there are many students studying English, Russian and Japanese in this era. There are very few people who know French.

She had been a missionary to France in her hometown, and she happened to settle near her home. Her French was learned from him as a reason to pass her French knowledge. After all, there are so many French missionaries, Gu Xiaoxiao can't find out if he has a name.

The job search went more smoothly than Gu Xiaoxiao expected, and because the school opened by the church was charitable in nature, the salary was lower than elsewhere. Rao is like this, and she also has twenty silver dollars during her probationary period. After the probationary period, the monthly salary is 25 silver dollars, and it will be increased in the future as appropriate.

To be a cultural person in the Republic of China, it is not only expensive but also very easy to make money, which is probably the scarcity of things.

The Holy Light Church Primary School offers Chinese, arithmetic, geography, music, art, natural science, and English and French courses.

Originally, Sister Yan also planned to invite Gu Xiaoxiao to be a French teacher, but she said that she had no teaching experience before, and she would consider serving after adapting.

In order to better integrate into the local area, the foreign missionaries gave themselves Chinese names, and the nun in charge of the Salesian Church and the Holy Light Church Primary School had a very tongue-twisting French name, and the Chinese name was Yan Yali.

Teaching is a very novel experience for Gu Xiaoxiao, but the children are very well-behaved, with clean little faces, dark eyes, and patches on their clothes.

She had only tried to give one lesson, and Sister Yan sat gently at the end, looking very satisfied, and congratulated her when she had finished her lecture.

Gu Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to ask: "Ms. Yan, I have a four-year-old child at home, and I don't know if I can live in the Salesian Church for a while." ”

At first, the Salesian Church only took in homeless orphans, but gradually it also took in children from poor families in the neighborhood, especially those who worked in the church.

Although Xianyang is richer than the county town below, the phenomenon of abandoned babies is still serious, and later there is a church, and some poor people want their children to be thrown at the door of the church, and wait until the child is carried in, and then apply for a nurse.

Babies who are too young, the Salesian Church will find someone to help bring them at home, giving them two silver dollars a month, and some poor people have this idea when they have children.

When there were so many of them, the Church simply relaxed the conditions for admission to the Salesian Church and allowed the poor to work here with their children.

"No problem, on behalf of the Holy Light Church, I welcome Ms. Gu to come and teach."

Ms. Yan smiled kindly, Gu Xiaoxiao thanked her again and again, and there was another reason why she chose this side, that is, the rented house should be relatively close to here.

When Gu Xiaoxiao returned to the mansion, it was lively inside, Yang Dawang was holding flowers and listening to people chattering in the yard, and after seeing her, he shouted happily: "Little aunt, you are finally back, Sister Hua'er was crying to find you before, and it was hard to coax her." ”

When Hua'er heard his words, she rubbed her eyes shyly, looking indeed red.

It's no wonder that Hua'er has been following Gu Xiaoxiao during this time, almost never leaving, although she had already said hello when she left, for a child, the sudden loss of a mother is still very panicked for a child.

And the flowers are more introverted than other children, and they are more troubled.

"Good. Have you eaten, the flowers are frightened, and the mother just went out to look for work. Tomorrow the flowers will be able to go to school. ”

"Auntie, it's amazing that you got a job so quickly. A few aunts in the yard today suggested that I could go and pull rickshaws for people, we don't have a car ourselves, we can pull it for others, and we can have seven or eight silver dollars a month. ”

Yang Dawang said excitedly. There was a gleam in his eyes.

In front of so many people, Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't talk about her new job, so she only took the flowers and said hello to the big girl and little daughter-in-law who were gossiping around. Then take Yang Dawang away.

When he returned to the rented house and closed the door, Gu Xiaoxiao took out two butter cakes from his sleeve and divided one by one. With a smile, he said, "I got a job in the Holy Light Church. Hua'er will go to the Salesian Hall tomorrow, and Dawang will stop being a rickshaw driver, but tomorrow he will go to the primary school to listen and learn some arithmetic and Chinese. ”

"Ah, you have to learn, auntie, I'm really not a lump of material there, let me work to make money." Yang Dawang scratched his head. Said distressedly.

Gu Xiaoxiao glanced at him and brushed the crumbs from his mouth for the flowers: "No one is born with anything. I didn't let you take the top prize, don't you want to make money, you can't even make money with your account. ”

Yang Dawang sighed, feeling that what his aunt said was very reasonable, but then he hesitated: "But it costs a lot of money to study, or I will make money first, and then study when I earn enough." ”

He can think of saving money, Gu Xiaoxiao is very pleased, the guidance along the way is not in vain, Yang Dawang is very real-minded.

"Don't worry about the money, I make twenty silver dollars a month in the church."

"Twenty? Auntie, are you too tired, can you stand it? I have a lot of strength, and I can make money, so don't be too tired. After Yang Dawang was pleasantly surprised, the first thing he did was to care about whether Gu Xiaoxiao would be too tired, and arched his arms like an iron tower to show off his muscles.

Yang Dawang knew that the little aunt did a good job of embroidery, and in the past, in the town, many wives of wealthy families in the county paid to hire the little aunt to do the embroidery work, but at that time it was only a few silver dollars a month.

Now twenty silver dollars a month, Yang Dawang is worried that the little aunt has too much embroidery work, and she will lose her eyes and body, which will not be done, he hopes that the little aunt can be healthy and healthy, she is the person he admires the most in addition to his mother.

"Silly boy, listen to me, tomorrow I will start to learn arithmetic and Mandarin in class, I will study with you, if you don't know, you can ask me."

Yang Dawang heard the words in his heart in the first half, and he obviously didn't believe it in the second half, but he knew it clearly that his little sister-in-law had never studied. Anyway, he still slipped through the academy for two years, and he was somewhat basic.

But since the aunt has the heart to learn, Yang Dawang won't say anything more, maybe the aunt is so powerful. Along the way, the aunt arranged their itinerary properly, so that he didn't worry about it all the way.

Hua'er sat on the edge of the bed with her legs crossed, and after the two finished speaking, she timidly interjected: "Mother, I want to be with you, Hua'er doesn't want to be alone." ”

She didn't know what the Salesian Church was, but Hua'er knew that she wanted to be with her mother and didn't want to be separated.

Gu Xiaoxiao squatted down, held Hua'er's shoulders with both hands, and said seriously: "We have to pay rent, eat and buy things, and my mother has to go out to make money." Mother promises, is it okay to pick up flowers to and from school tomorrow? ”

The children of poor families have long been in charge, and it is inertia that Hua'er is not happy to be separated from Gu Xiaoxiao, after listening to her earnestness, she nodded silently and stretched out her little finger: "Hang yourself with a hook, and you will not be allowed to change for a hundred years." ”

"Okay, mother and the flowers pull the hook."

Early the next morning, Gu Xiaoxiao took Hua'er and Yang Dawang to the Holy Light Catholic Church on Xianyao Road. After she negotiated with Sister Yan, she readily agreed that Yang Dayang would work and study part-time in the church, attend classes on weekdays, and help the church when needed.

The unique solemn and peaceful atmosphere of the church made Yang Dawang a little restrained, especially since the church believers were mostly women, and he didn't even dare to raise his head. Gu Xiaoxiao sent Yang Dawang to the fourth grade of Shengguang Primary School, he looked at the room full of boys and girls younger than himself, pulled the corners of his clothes and said, "Auntie, I'm too old, I don't look like a person in the classroom." “

Gu Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand and patted Yang Dawang's head and reprimanded him: "Until this is the case, you should study hard, when you were asked to enter the academy, why didn't you think about it." ”

Yang Dawang sat in the classroom helplessly, and in the eyes of a group of children who were much younger than him, his legs were together with a serious expression, and he looked at the layout in the classroom.

This is very different from the school he studied in Yuqing Town, the teacher used small cylinders of various colors called chalk to teach, although the students were young, but they listened to the lectures very seriously, no one talked to each other, and they did not skip class.

The female teacher who taught them arithmetic was very kind, with short ear-length hair, and was a few years older than his little aunt.

Yang Dawang's face was about to drip red ink, the questions from the female gentleman, he seemed to be familiar with them, but he couldn't do any of them, and under the surprise of the little classmates in the class, he really wanted to dig a crack in the ground and jump in.

The female gentleman is very good, and seeing that Yang Dawang can't do it, she comforts her softly: "Don't be nervous, Dawang, you can ask the teacher if you don't know, just call me Teacher Song in the future." ”

The crisp class bell rang, and when it was time for the official class, Mr. Song specially asked Yang Dawang to introduce himself on stage. He stumbled due to nervousness, but the small classmates below still applauded enthusiastically, which made his face blush fade slightly.

Gu Xiaoxiao's first day of work went very smoothly, she used to learn piano but in line with the idea of not pressing her body, she studied for a few years, and it came in handy here, which made her very emotional.

As for art classes, whether it is Chinese painting or Western painting, Gu Xiaoxiao is at her fingertips, and there is no sense of stagnation, and the lower grades she teaches are all very simple things.

After class, Gu Xiaoxiao and Yang Dawang said hello and went to the Salesian Church to pick up the flowers first.

Her biggest concern for the day was the flowers, and whether she would be able to get used to life at the Salesian Church. When she saw Hua'er, she was dressing up the dolls and sitting with two or three children of about the same age, with a sweet smile on her face.

Hua'er is timid, and rarely has such a pleasant time with strange children, Gu Xiaoxiao slowed down and walked gently into the classroom.

Hua'er noticed Gu Xiaoxiao, put the doll down, ran over happily, and called crisply: "Mother, Hua'er misses you." ”

The nanny with the child came over with confidence and praised it sincerely: "Your child is very well-behaved, and it didn't take long to cry and play with the child." She is very clever and can dress dolls and wants to cut her clothes out of paper. ”

Who doesn't like to hear others praise their children, Gu Xiaoxiao touched Hua'er's head and encouraged her: "Say thank you for the teacher's compliment, goodbye to the teacher." ”

The flowers draw gourds in the same way, and their eyes are shining. (To be continued.) )
